Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1026 Space-Time Machine
"Maybe we can subvert the north and south poles of the earth's magnetic field." Rutherford said worriedly, "who knows what kind of chain reaction the severe weather brought by the atmospheric funnel will cause the earth's climate?"

"You're right," Truss said, nodding. "That's the main reason why I recommend stopping further trials."

"This kind of action has already constituted an act of war." Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang continued Truss' words, "This is equivalent to attacking the Soviet Union without declaring war. Once the Soviet Union knew about this, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Guan Xuqing said decisively: "There is no need to have any worries. This experiment must be carried out. Even if it is discovered by the Soviet Union, even if the empire is faced with the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, it will not hesitate."

"Your Majesty, think twice before acting." Even Feng Xianghua felt that it was too dangerous to proceed like this.

"I brought you to the vault laboratory this time to let you understand the latest super weapon of the empire. In future diplomatic and military struggles, you should be clear about it. According to intelligence, the Americans have mastered the hyperspace transmission technology .And the Soviets are secretly developing two super weapons. Although we don’t know the specific functions, we believe that our atmospheric funnel technology is no worse than theirs. Compared with the two big countries, our soldiers don’t have to go deep into the enemy’s territory, because we With more powerful strategic weapons, the risks are negligible compared to the benefits." Guan Xuqing made up his mind.

At the same time, the White House in the United States.

US President Johnson, Assistant to the President for Security Affairs Lewis, Secretary of State Rusk, and FBI Director John Edgar Hoover came to the elevator on the north side of the atrium after a brief meeting.

"Your Excellency, it's time to visit the pride of America." Lewis said, "The Secrets Act stipulates that the president can only access the top secrets of the country after the completion of his term of office for one hundred days."

"Well, I have always believed that we have terrible weapons that make the world tremble." Johnson's eyes glowed with excitement.

They entered the elevator after being checked by armed guards.To Johnson's great surprise, instead of going to a few floors, they went down to fifty floors underground.

"Fifty floors underground?" Johnson asked in amazement, "Is the main body of the National Laboratory in the underground of the White House?"

"You guessed it, a lot of top technology is underground," Lewis said. "The National Laboratory can't just be a building in the Komi virgin forest."

The high-speed elevator slides into the dark underground.

After reaching the 100th floor underground, they entered a long and narrow passage through three layers of thick armored protective doors.Walking to the end of the passage, the field of vision suddenly widened.A huge hemispherical object appeared before their eyes.This huge steel hemisphere with a diameter of [-] meters is painted in traditional dark green, exuding a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere.

"Your Excellency, what is presented before your eyes is "Lewis excitedly introduced, "the glorious and great scientific and technological achievement of the United States, the Mata Hari-[-] space-time machine!"

"Mata Hari One?" Johnson said the name, as if realizing something, "Mata Hari."

"Actually, you don't need to care what her name is, you just need to know what she can do." Johnson said with a smile, "This is an advanced machine. She can reverse time and space, and let us travel freely in the past and even in the future!" Johnson exclaimed excitedly road.

"But she can't use it yet." Hoover suddenly poured a basin of cold water on Lewis, "It can't even start it."

"We need an energy key!" The person who spoke was a middle-aged scientist in his forties with eagle eyes, the mastermind of the US National Laboratory, and a leader in US aerospace technology, Von Karman.

Von Karmen is a Hungarian Jew, one of the most outstanding veterans in the field of aviation and aerospace, and his long scientific career is quite legendary.He is energetic, cheerful, eloquent and has a sense of humor. He has extensive experience, has been to many countries in the world, and has close contacts with many great scientists in the world.Known as the "Scientific Wizard of the Aeronautics and Astronautics Era"

Rocket scientist von Braun once said: "Von Karman is the most outstanding veteran in the field of aviation and aerospace. His unique characteristics are farsightedness, creativity and organization." For his outstanding contributions to science, technology and education, the U.S. Congress awarded him the first "National Medal of Science"

On the morning of February 1916, 2, celebrities gathered in the Rose Garden of the White House, and there were a lot of guests, and the award ceremony was about to be held.When the young von Karman walked down the steps, he was unsteady due to severe arthritis and nearly fell.The young President Kennedy stepped forward and grabbed him.Von Carmen raised his head and smiled gratefully, then gently pushed the President's outstretched hand away, and said flatly: "Mr. President, those who walk downhill don't need support, only those who raise their feet can ask for help."

A medal of the highest honor and a wisecrack with a double meaning are the portrayal of his legendary life: the medal marks his great achievements in science and technology, and the wisecrack portrays his colorful personality and his love for others. An earnest concern for the cause of science.

In the 20th century, science and technology have developed rapidly, but those who are unique leaders in aerospace technology like von Karman are rare and almost extinct.Therefore, he was hailed as "the scientific genius of the aerospace era" by later generations.

His excellence in aviation is irrefutable.Some of the most brilliant theories and concepts in aeronautics and astronautics are named after him, and remarkable milestones in the history of aviation, such as Zeppelin airships, wind tunnels, gliders and rockets, can be said to be all actual flights and rockets in the 20th century. The success of flight simulation is closely related to him.He took advantage of the wind in aerospace technology, showed his talents, and opened a new chapter in the history of aerospace.Carmen's career success is admirable, and his thinking and personality are as admired by people as he is in the world.

But von Karman also has one of the greatest characteristics, that is, he will never allow others to despise his research results in person.

Hearing the malicious words from the director of the FBI, von Karman turned his face to Hoover angrily, and spat out each word from the depths of his throat: "It's a mineral from an alien meteorite. Elements, let's call them crystals, but this kind of crystals is extremely rare, we just can't find out which planet it comes from, so far we have only extracted 3 grams from an alien meteorite the size of a fist, if we want to start this A machine would require at least fifty grams. But as far as we know, there is only one thing in the world made of this crystal, and that is the Spear of Destiny of the Crucifixion.”

Hoover asked rhetorically: "The Spear of Destiny is enshrined in the Cathedral of the Saviour."

"That's a fake, Chief Hoover." Von Karmen said seriously, "If that holy gun was real, then we would have activated the Mata Hari [-] long ago, and already achieved victory over the hateful eastern power. complete victory."

"I just don't understand why the so-called crystals can activate the space-time machine?" Hoover chattered endlessly. He was very disgusted with the mysticism and technological theories of people like Von Karman. "How can a piece of ordinary Spear of Destiny be full of energy? Is it the start key of top technological equipment? This is too mysterious." The tone of the atheist Hoover was full of disdain and contempt.

"Director, I don't want to explain too much to you." Von Carmen said coldly, "I think you may not be able to understand the principle after explaining it." His words were also full of disdain and arrogance.

Johnson originally wanted to ask why the mysterious Spear of Destiny was the energy activation key of Mata Hari [-], but seeing Von Karmen's answer and attitude towards Min Hoover, he gave up.

Von Carmen looked at the four heavyweights in front of him and said, "Since there is no problem, let's visit here for now." This is obviously an order to expel the guests, but he has the final say in the national laboratory.

Rusk, who had been silent all this time, hurriedly said, "Please, let's talk up there."

"I'm not going." Von Carmen left without saying a word, and left with a sullen face. He walked towards his own studio without even saying goodbye.

"Please." Lewis politely guided the president to the passageway that came in.

"What a rude person." Hoover said angrily, but von Karman means more to the United States now than he does, so he can only complain behind his back.

"Mr. Director, you should know that he is just like this, and no one can tolerate any doubts. In his view, your question is a great irony to him." Lewis explained.

Johnson couldn't help but said at this time: "However, I also want to know the answer to the question about Spear of Destiny."

Lewis said seriously: "Your Excellency, have you read the Bible? I heard that your father is a devout Orthodox Christian?"

"Yes, my father is now the deputy deacon of the Orthodox Church. I have read many versions of the Bible, including Catholic and Protestant. But I think that no matter which version, it is actually promoting the idea of ​​fraternity and being kind to others."

"Then you must know that the Bible says that Jehovah came down from heaven to earth."

"Yes. In the "Old Testament", God is called Yahweh, but in the "New Testament" he is called 'Lord'. Every time he appears, he either comes down from heaven or suddenly appears in the world." Johnson added explain.

"Now is not the time to discuss theology." Hoover said uninterestedly.

"No, Sir, what I want to talk about is not theology but science." Lewis said seriously, "In the world at that time, there were probably only two kinds of people who could fall from the sky, one was the so-called aliens, and the other was A civilized person with a high level of technology."

"These can only be regarded as bold guesses." Hoover said disapprovingly.
