Son of the Stars

Chapter 25 Changing Life
Distinguished academic committees are scattered in the beautiful lecture hall, here and there.

Mainly highlight a loose tissue.

Several academicians of the academic committee seemed to have no problem with this "hot pepper soup sprinkled with pepper noodles" sitting method, and Tang Qinglong seemed to be quite used to such a scene.

Mu Zhiran and Lu Chen stood on the stage holding thick documents, hesitant and confused.

"Relax, we are not some devils." A lady in the audience presided over the meeting, "Academician Tang told you about the content of this meeting, right?"

"Hmm..." Mu Zhiran nodded hesitantly, but what did Academician Tang say before... She doesn't remember this anymore.

"The committee has conducted a detailed review of your research content, and I believe Academician Tang has conveyed some of our opinions to you." The lady said to the microphone in front of her, "How is your experiment going? What's new? Did you find it?"

"There are some findings." Mu Zhiran said, "In the samples we have tested so far, the electrons of the lithium atoms are all spinning downward."

"Can you prove that these electrons are in an entangled state?" About 200 meters away, a white-haired academician interrupted and asked, "Can applying a magnetic field to these electrons change the state of other electrons?"

"Electronic entanglement is not proved in this way." Another academician interrupted his colleague's speech, "Testing the quantum state by imposing variables can only lead to chaos and confusion. The confirmation of quantum entanglement needs other ways... "

Standing on the rostrum, Lu Chen watched the thirteen academicians scattered across several thousand square meters arguing endlessly about how to measure quantum entanglement... He actually felt a little proud.

You see, even an academician might not understand this stuff, right?
After a while, the academicians with red faces and thick necks gradually calmed down.Probably letting them sit separately is also for the personal safety of these committee members-the distance in a straight line is more than 100 meters, and there are hundreds of soft seats separated, even if you want to fight in a hurry, you have to work hard.

All in all, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Dr. Mu Zhiran took the lead in the discussion on the spot, and began to talk about the basics—at least two academicians in the fields of agronomy and mining must understand the basic concepts of quantum.

Thanks to the repeated discussions with Lu Chen during this period of time, as well as the "literacy-style science popularization", Mu Zhiran hardly has any pressure on this level of lectures.She quickly popularized the basic concepts to these academicians with concise and precise words.

"Listen, what he said is much better than yours!" The academician of the Agricultural Academy slapped the table and taunted the academician in the field of physics behind him, "What kind of academician are you? Huh? After decades of professorship, even Ben Can’t you understand everything in the subject?”

Strange to say, everyone was arguing at first, but the academician in the field of agriculture opened his mouth, and the other academicians remained silent although their expressions were still upset.

"Next, tell us about your experimental ideas and the goals you want to verify." The academician of agriculture waved his hand, as if he was scattering a group of flies, "This part can be a bit briefer, we have seen enough written reports— —Just take it as a formality."

After 10 minutes, the cutscene was over.The academicians of the committee began to get serious. They walked across thousands of mountains and rivers, and gathered together across hundreds of upholstered seats, and started a discussion in a low voice-the specific content is unknown, but it seems that The discussions were very serious.Seriously, to the point where Lu Chen was dumbfounded.

Didn't you just go through the motions as promised?You old and uncultivated people are planning to go back on their word now? !
After about half an hour of discussion, several academicians suddenly turned their heads to look at the stage collectively. The academician of agriculture asked, "Mr. Watanabe, is Professor Yang still accepting information management?"

"Yes, Mr. Yuan." Watanabe nodded and said, "According to the committee's instructions, information management needs to be maintained until the committee lifts the ban."

"Since the implementation of information management, the number of bombings has decreased significantly... right?" Academician Yuan continued to ask, "How many times have you counted?"

"It must have happened once, and it may have happened twice." Watanabe's face was a little dark, "Mr. Yuan, this topic is not suitable for discussion in public in front of unrelated people."

"This is not a public place, and the three people beside you are not irrelevant people." Academician Yuan stared, "The committee just unanimously agreed to lift the information blockade for them."

Watanabe widened his eyes and argued, "This is too dangerous!"

"The implementation of information management can only reduce the frequency of bombings. But these days, there are still at least three explosions. This frequency is too high and we cannot accept it." Said the academician of the Department of Physics next to Academician Yuan , "They are the leading research team in the field, with great results and reliable people - getting them involved is the solution with the highest return and the lowest risk."

"The committee can understand the concerns of the General Bureau of Investigation, but we believe that this risk is worth taking." Academician Yuan nodded, "The official document will be completed within 10 minutes. After receiving the document, please complete the information in the anechoic chamber transfer."
-
The thirteen academicians chatted enthusiastically with the head of the General Investigation Bureau, but the three people on the stage were completely dumbfounded.Mu Zhiran asked Tang Qinglong with his eyes, "You already know this part?" Then he got a clear answer from his teacher.

He rolled his eyes.

Lu Chen listened for a long time with his ears on the side, but he didn't understand what it meant.But looking at Watanabe's expression, it seems that this is not a good thing.

Watanabe, who finally got the official document, closed his eyes resignedly. He stood for a while, then turned around and said to Lu Chen and the others, "You...follow me."

The anechoic chamber is a very special kind of "secret chamber".The significance of its existence is to isolate electromagnetic waves as much as possible—in this era when AI is ubiquitous and network equipment can transmit 1PB data packets in a few minutes, the anechoic chamber is the most important means to realize the transmission of confidential information.

On the one hand, an anechoic chamber prevents almost any electromagnetic waves from being transmitted directly from the interior of the room.On the other hand, the anechoic chamber itself provides a "pure background" for measuring radio signals.

Many of today's portable electronic devices operate continuously at extremely low power.In the anechoic chamber, no matter how sensitive the detection equipment is, it is difficult to distinguish their operating signals from the background noise.But in the anechoic chamber, as long as it is a battery-powered device, it cannot hide its existence.

In the radio anechoic room, Lu Chen was the first to ask, "What's the matter? Why don't you talk about it here?"

"The content of this message will change your entire life." In the anechoic room, under the faint green light of the fluorescent stick, Watanabe looked at the three people in front of him with some sympathy and said, "Unfortunately, you also There was no chance of rejection - the committee decided to let you know and to blame them."

Seeing the bewildered and nervous Lu Chen, Watanabe said, "It will take some time to understand this matter—the trigger of all this is you, Doctor Lu."

The Comprehensive Investigation Bureau is a special agency with great power. When an inexplicable huge explosion occurs in the society, the first reaction of the General Investigation Bureau is to quickly investigate the explosion.This is their instinctive reaction, and it is also the content of their work.

However, the collider bombing and the demonstration hospital bombing kept the entire Bureau of Investigation in constant confusion.Especially the demonstration hospital bombing case - the whole process of Jeanna from the onset of the disease to the light was captured by the medical recorder.

That scene had to make the General Bureau of Investigation come up with a hypothesis—the explosive was a human body, more precisely, it was Jeanne.

As for how this young woman, weighing about 52 kilograms, released nearly [-] tons of TNT equivalent energy... it is still a mystery.

As time progresses, the occurrence of explosions increases rapidly.The Port Bianchi explosion and the urban explosion in South Asia have provided more accurate video data for the General Investigation Bureau.With these videos, and the assumptions I got from Jeanne.The Comprehensive Investigation Bureau began to convene researchers to analyze and study this, including Yang Weimin, the doctor in charge of Rang Na.

The investigators convened came up with many ideas, most of which proved to be mere fantasies.At the same time, the bombing of the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau of Dongyang Special Administrative City "triggered" by extremists made the officers of the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau more nervous than ever.

Religious extremists carrying explosives and attacking everywhere are already terrible. When the explosives they carry become the human body itself, and the explosive power is so amazing...that is really a nightmare.

The explosives hidden on the body can be detected by police dogs or trace elements, so what methods and equipment should be used to distinguish people who are about to explode from ordinary people?
In response to this question, Yang Weimin put forward his own point of view.

"Ultraman Virus"

Of course, Yang Weimin, who won the title of Ten Thousand Talents Project and Outstanding Young Researcher, would not just slap his head and say, "There must be a virus here that we have never discovered before."He used the five words "Altman virus" to refer to a special "curing factor" or "pathogen".

Yes, Yang Weimin thinks this explosion is still a disease.And, he has full confidence in this assumption.

Of the five explosions recorded at that time, two of them clearly showed that the "bomberman" had symptoms of high fever, and had chapped skin before the explosion.Before the Bianchi Port explosion and the Dongyang Special City explosion, surveillance equipment photographed the state of the "bomberman"-they also had chapped skin.

"This is a disease with high fever, chapped skin, and explosions as the main symptoms. The cause of the disease is not yet clear, and there is no treatment plan for the time being." Yang Weimin judged, "Among them, the Thomas bombing and the Janna bombing, Dongyang City The General Investigation Bureau bombings seem to have a lot in common. Maybe we can start the investigation from here.”

Yang Weimin's proposal received some support, but more opposition.Other experts are not fools who act only on their own preferences.Their objection is quite sufficient - the principle of the explosion is unknown.

Although Yang Weimin could not give a reasonable explanation for this.But other experts offered some guesses.

It can release such a huge amount of energy, and there is no obvious trace of radiation left on the scene.Then this kind of explosion cannot be caused by fusion or fission of nuclear materials.For a non-nuclear reaction, but it can release such a huge amount of energy, I'm afraid we can only think of a way on the mass-energy equation.

The expert team finally gave two suspected directions-antimatter collisions or other types of energy releases.

"Information control is to prevent the observer effect from causing more explosions." Watanabe said for a long time, his mouth was a little dry, "Theoretically, as long as you don't know what you are observing, the impact of observation will be reduced."

Mu Zhiran raised his hand and asked, "I don't understand. Antimatter collisions or other energy releases... have nothing to do with quantum mechanics, right? The observer effect is limited to the microcosm. Is it necessary to worry about this?"

"Other energy releases may include changes in the excited states of electrons." Tang Qinglong answered his students' questions, "The changes in electron orbits may absorb or release a large amount of energy, such as regenerating the isotopes of nineteen stable non-radioactive elements. Shove a few electrons in. Or electron pairs annihilate—it’s all about the microcosm.”

"In short, this strategy is considered to be indeed effective." Watanabe said, "Currently, the number of people who know this situation in all mankind is 27 people-the members of the committee do not know the specific content. The more people who know this hypothesis In theory, the probability of the explosion happening again will decrease together.”

"So...the committee asked you to tell us this news..." Lu Chen asked with difficulty, "Is it for us to find out the specific cause of the explosion?"

"Who has made great progress in your research on the pathogenicity of quantum mechanics?" Watanabe did not answer this question directly, he just spread his hands under the light of the anechoic chamber and said, "I said, this news will change your life forever. Life—I'm not scaremongering."
