After hearing these words, the man's expression suddenly changed, "What, are you the former holder of the plane key?"
Little did he know that while the storm was stirring in his heart, Chen Chen was also extremely shocked because when he saw the man for the first time, he immediately recognized him. He turned out to be the Zhao Shanhe he had seen in the Adam Quantum Computer. !
Zhao Shanhe once said in the video left behind that he would go to the "Foreign Evil" plane at the final moment. As for the reason, he did not tell Chen Chen, but Chen Chen could infer that the other party should have died in the "Foreign Evil" plane. , and now it actually appears in front of him alive
Time and space intersect? Or was there someone behind the scenes deliberately moving their hands and feet
Suddenly, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Chen's mind, and he wanted to deceive the other party.
"Of course, who else could it be if not me?"
Chen Chen smiled and said, "Did you think it was Wang Xi?"
"You, you actually even know about Professor Wang Xi..."
Zhao Shanhe's expression was even more shocking.
Seeing Zhao Shanhe's expression, Chen Chen's heart sank even more. Sure enough, Professor Wang Xi has a great connection with the USB flash drive! Chen Chen had already figured it out when Professor Wang Xi disappeared, and this was just a more definite step.
"You are a student of Shangdu Jiaotong University, where you got the key to the plane. The black slate in your hand called 'Principles of Civilization' was obtained from "2001: A Space Odyssey"."
Chen Chen continued to speak, his voice eloquent, "And what you call the Force is obtained from the "Star Wars" plane, and your black clothes and sunglasses are obtained from "Men in Black"... Am i right?"
"So, you planted the antimeme in me?"
There was a trace of resentment in Zhao Shanhe's eyes, "What do you want to do by planting an antimeme in me and forcing me to come to the "Odd Evil" plane? What conspiracy do you have!"
"What conspiracy?"
Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, but he was horrified in his heart. He always thought that the antimeme was transformed by Zhao Shanhe, but he didn't expect that even Zhao Shanhe was like this. So, the antimeme was actually someone else
Is the last USB flash drive holder really Professor Wang Xi? Is this all Professor Wang Xi’s conspiracy
A trace of speculation flashed through Chen Chen's mind, and at the same time he tried to squeeze out more inside information. He said with a solemn expression, "I am also a victim. Like you, I also fell into the antimeme 'I saw you'. As for giving The key to your plane is just because I see your potential. After all, by coming here, we can lift the antimemetic curse, right?"
Yes, judging from the video information left by Zhao Shanhe, he did come to "The Surface of the Black Hole" after being hit by an antimeme. Obviously, he discovered some opportunities in this movie. !
Chen Chen thought secretly.
"The same to you?"
Hearing Chen Chen's words, Zhao Shanhe's eyes suddenly showed a trace of suspicion, and he hesitated in his heart, "Did I really guess wrong that the previous holder was not Professor Wang Xi, but the young man in front of me?"
It can be said that the two of them had their own secrets, but the conversation between them shocked everyone around Zhao Shanhe.
"We should join forces."
After dropping this bombshell, Chen Chen spoke again, "You and I have the same purpose, which is to find ways to remove the antimeme and find the deeper secrets of the plane key. We should not be enemies, we should be friends. That’s right.”
After hearing these words, Zhao Shanhe's expression was uncertain, and he didn't know whether he should believe the young man in front of him or not.
"But, you don't have the plane key, how did you get here?"
Zhao Shanhe was still worried and asked again, step by step.
"Of course I have my own ideas."
Chen Chen smiled and was about to continue to fool the other party, but at this moment, a burst of rapid sirens suddenly came from the distance in the street. The sirens were approaching quickly. Apparently, their previous movements had attracted the attention of the Washington police.
"It seems that now is not the time to talk. I will come to you again."
Seeing this, Chen Chen smiled slightly, stopped entangled with everyone, and turned around to escape into the darkness.
Seeing Chen Chen's figure quietly walking away, Zhao Shanhe gritted his teeth and wanted to chase him, but in the end he waved his hand and ordered all his men to retreat.
…
A few minutes later, Chen Chen withdrew the reality anchor he had deployed before and sat on the top of a tall building, silently looking down at the futuristic city beneath his feet.
There was a faint look of thought in his eyes.
"Zhao Shanhe is actually Zhao Shanhe..."
Chen Chen frowned and said, "It's obvious from his performance that he doesn't know me. For him, his timeline is still around 2000, which means that he, like me, came here through the USB flash drive channel. .”
"It's really magical. We are obviously separated by life and death in reality, with a time difference of forty years, but in the plane of "Black Hole Surface", we unexpectedly meet."
"It's just that he is different from me. My subordinates are all black knights without self-will, but his subordinates are real people. Obviously his mode of breaking into other dimensions is to cultivate a special elite team."
By this time, Chen Chen gradually understood how the other party united the world and created the Earth Federation.
"Those elite teams are nothing. Whether it's the Force from the "Star Wars" plane or the high-tech weapons in "Men in Black", they are no threat to me, but the black slate in his hand is. Something special…”
Chen Chen looked thoughtful, "If I'm not wrong, that slate definitely comes from "2001: A Space Odyssey". His expression doesn't lie, but he calls it the 'Principles of Civilization'. What does this mean? "
Chen Chen has read countless science fiction movies, and naturally still remembers the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". This movie is actually a science fiction thriller released in 1968. As an enlightenment work in the science fiction genre, this movie is full of directors. The unrestrained imagination and stream-of-consciousness plot of that day have received mixed reviews. People who like it think it is a masterpiece, while those who don't like it think it is bullshit.
The opening of the movie is in the ancient times. At that time, humans were still apes, but one day they discovered a black slate. The black slate emitted a special wave, which changed the ape-man's thinking form and gave the ape-man the ability to Creativity and the ability to use tools.
This is probably the director telling the audience that the path of mankind has been predetermined.
Then the scene of the movie changed, and the plot immediately came to the future era. Human beings once again discovered this stone slab on the moon, and a ray was emitted from the stone slab, pointing directly at Jupiter.
Therefore, in order to investigate the clues of the slate, humans sent several astronauts and an artificial intelligence to Jupiter one after another.
However, an error occurred in the artificial intelligence during the flight of the spacecraft, so several astronauts prepared to shut down the artificial intelligence that controlled the spacecraft, because according to the artificial intelligence rules, once the artificial intelligence makes an error, it can no longer be trusted, otherwise more problems may occur. Big mistake.
However, the conversation of several people was understood by the artificial intelligence through lip reading. It set up many obstacles on the spacecraft and killed other astronauts. In the end, only one person sacrificed his life to turn off the artificial intelligence and finally found the place near Jupiter. That black slate...
End.
The black slate in the movie, apart from being used as a tool to enlighten the apes, does not mention its specific function. However, now it seems that the slate is probably the supreme creation of some kind of alien civilization. Under the influence of a stone slab, it can actually interfere with my consciousness and give me a splitting headache. I don't know what other functions it has.
"The principles of civilization, the principles of civilization..."
Chen Chen kept savoring these four words and suddenly said thoughtfully, "As the name suggests, does it refer to the principles of civilization? But what are the principles of civilization? Is it science? Human beings? Or nature?"
"No, none of them..."
Chen Chen only felt that he had grasped something vaguely, "The Black Slate enlightened those apes in the movie on the road to civilization. It is a road to science. If all of this is the mission of the Black Slate, then the Black Slate Is the role of guidance? Guidance to human civilization?"
After thinking for a long time, Chen Chen no longer struggled with this issue, because his purpose was not to be hostile to Zhao Shanhe. Strictly speaking, he and Zhao Shanhe did not have any hatred. After all, according to his own timeline, the other party was already dead, otherwise U The disk cannot become ownerless, and Chen Chen cannot argue too much with a dead person.
On the contrary, he hopes to use Zhao Shanhe's power to solve more mysteries of the USB flash drive.
Of course, all this must be based on the fact that Zhao Shanhe was not the antimeme that originally wanted to kill him.
However, if Zhao Shanhe was not the antimeme, who pulled him into that dream world in the first place
No, maybe I have entered into a misunderstanding...
Chen Chen thought silently, maybe it was because Zhao Shanhe failed to get rid of the antimeme in this plane that he turned to the power of this plane, merged with the antimeme, and wanted to seize his body...
Thinking of this, Chen Chen sneered. In short, it didn't matter whether the other party was the one who plotted against him in the first place. Now he just wanted to use his power to explore the secret of the USB flash drive without his knowledge.
After no longer worrying about all this, Chen Chen immediately stepped on his feet and flew into the distance with a roar.
In any case, the first thing Chen Chen has to do now is to obtain the jump engine technology...
Before the darkness receded, Chen Chen returned to the NASA headquarters. Although it was late at night, the NASA headquarters building was still brightly lit. Chen Chen flew in from a window.
At this time, in the control room where signals from outer space are received, a group of staff in white coats were sweating, silently watching a flight log on the big screen above their heads.
"General, the rescue team's mission... failed!"
The leader of this group, an old man, was sitting in front of the communication desk. He pressed a communication button and said with an ugly face, "Although the rescue team successfully arrived at the location of the New Territory, they did not find anything in the spacecraft. Survivors, not only that, the rescue team suffered heavy losses due to a space accident, and even the rescue ship was lost... "
"What, even the rescue ship was lost?"
An extremely angry voice came from the communicator, "Damn it, what about Professor Will? He is the designer of the jump engine and there must be no room for mistakes, otherwise you will be ready to resign en masse!"
"That's not true..."
The old man exhaled and hurriedly defended, "Professor Will is still alive. Only he, Richard Jones and a female crew member survived. Now the three of them have entered a dormant state, and our second rescue team will also come." Went to respond.”
"The bow of the New Territory?"
There was a burst of doubt over there.
"That's it, General."
The old man explained, "When we designed the New Territory, we designed the test ship into two parts. The bow and hull can be separated, and the hull can be abandoned to sail alone. Our original plan was to The ship's jump engine experienced an uncontrollable situation, and the ship's bow and hull were immediately separated, so that the crew of the New Territory could survive smoothly... "
"But the New Territory has been missing for seven years!"
The general's voice was cold.
"That's something that can't be helped."
The old man argued, "The disaster seven years ago still cannot be explained. We don't know where the New Territory jumped to, but fortunately, Professor Will is still alive and has brought back the New Territory's black box. In this way When New Territories returns, we will be able to find out what happened that year."
"I hope so."
The other person only said this sentence, and then hung up the communication coldly.
"Huh..."
The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was the one who later became the administrator of NASA. The accident of the New Territory made the previous administrator step down directly, so he had the opportunity to sit in this position. Now the rescue team Almost the whole army was wiped out, and this was his duty.
Fortunately, Professor Will is safe and sound. Although he will be punished, at least his position is saved. If he can do this, the old man is already satisfied.
Immediately, the old man pressed a button again, and immediately, a picture transmitted from the distant deep space was automatically projected on the big screen -
On the screen, there are a row of erected frozen sleep chambers. The chambers are transparent. In two of the sleeping chambers, you can see a figure standing in them. This is the picture of the New Territory traveling back, which means that the other party has entered. into hibernation state.
"Well, how come there are only two sleeping cabins with people in them? Is there anyone else who hasn't entered the sleeping cabin?"
A flash of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes. He pressed the refresh button again, but the signal from Pluto was extremely long. It only takes eight minutes for light to reach the earth from the sun, but it takes about 6.8 hours to reach Pluto. That is to say If the old man wants to see the refreshed picture, it will take at least six or seven hours.
