Dream Guide

If the mysterious disappearance of a scientific research vessel at sea was shocking, then this news is enough to shock the entire scientific community.

Evans Lester is recognized as the greatest scientist in the world today. He has won two Nobel Prizes in Physics and one Fields Medal. If he had not later taken the initiative to declare that he would no longer receive any awards, the Nobel Committee might have There is endless debate about whether one person should be allowed to win three Nobel Prizes.

Many of his discoveries have injected new energy into the theoretical scientific community that has been dormant since the second half of the twentieth century, making this stagnant water come alive again. It is generally believed that the unified field theory will be perfected in Leicester's hands, and that the giant of science will take the most important and solid step since the theory of relativity and quantum theory.

Although Professor Leicester is almost eighty years old, he is in good health and enjoys the highest level of medical care and security in the world. If he gets sick, the scientists here will definitely get the news as soon as possible, and they will be more nervous than if he is sick.

Mei Yiqiu was as shocked as anyone present. He and Lester are also old friends. When he was coaching at Princeton University, he was fortunate enough to work with Lester and was deeply influenced by him.

At that time, Mei Yiqiu was still very young. As a Chinese genius, he often compared himself with Westerners and felt proud because he never lost to them. But since meeting Lester, his pride has been shattered to the core, shattered and eliminated. Throughout the scientific world, no one could be found who was more comprehensive and omniscient than Lester.

"What happened? How did he die?" someone asked.

"According to news from Hopkins Medical Center, Mr. Lester passed away last night at his residence due to acute encephalitis," Frederick said.

"I don't believe it!" Mei Yiqiu jumped up from his seat angrily, "No acute encephalitis can cause brain death in such a short period of time. If you have been infected with the encephalitis virus for a long time, why not send it to the hospital in advance? Doctor? Why don’t we know?”

"Yes, Mr. Lester does not belong to a certain country, he belongs to the whole world! What right do they have to conceal his physical condition?" someone echoed.

"Please calm down." Frederick stretched out his palm and pressed it on everyone. "There are scientists at Hopkins Hospital who deserve our respect. We should trust their diagnosis."

Mei Yiqiu sat down.

He knew that Frederick was right. The death of a figure like Lester was enough to trigger an earthquake in the scientific world. No one dared to hide anything, unless Lester himself did not want to tell the world.

"Is there any connection between these two things?" It was a bit strange for Frederick, who always wanted to be aware of it, to announce these two things at the same time.

"I hope they're not related, but I can't wishful thinking. The truth is, I don't know," Frederick said.

"What do you mean? As far as I know, Mr. Lester did not participate in the investigation of the submarine pyramid." Professor Hans from the University of Copenhagen said.

Frederick nodded: "It is true that he did not directly participate in this expedition and has never been to the Tubuai Islands, but this does not mean that he does not care about the progress of the matter. In fact, he specifically mentioned this in his last words. thing."

"Did he have any last words?" Many people asked together.

"Yes." Frederic said, "His last words were written in the Thought Matrix code and handed over to his trusted friend, Dr. Dardoba, before he died. Through Dr. Dardova, the last words were also When we got here, even his family members hadn’t had time to see him.”

Mei Yiqiu knows the password of the thinking matrix.

This is a complex brain wave code that does not rely on the memory of symbols or words, but uses pure consciousness during self-hypnosis to identify the thoughts at that time based on the signals sent by the brain waves.

It is extremely difficult to decipher this kind of signal. Only by studying the thinking characteristics of the code writer's life and finding his consciousness coordinates in the matrix can the radio wave information be interpreted.

Mei Yiqiu remembered that when he was at Princeton, Lester said that his original intention of inventing this kind of code was to try to prove that consciousness has an interference effect on quantum, but quantum has no effect on consciousness itself.

Later, it seemed that the experiment failed, but this matrix code was proved to be feasible and became one of the most difficult codes in the world to decipher.

There are two characteristics of this kind of password. First, if you don't know the thinking characteristics of the person who wrote the password, even if you know his life well, you can't get his consciousness coordinates. Without conscious coordinates, it is almost impossible to find information from the matrix, just like finding a floating sesame seed in the Pacific Ocean without coordinates.

The second feature is that it can only be completed by the subconscious mind in a state of self-hypnosis, and cannot be forced or faked. Therefore, the Thought Matrix Code is also known as the "Lester Signature".

Of course, because the conversion of conscious thinking into language is bound to be vague and inaccurate, its signature authentication role is more significant than encryption.

"What did he say in his last words?" Mei Yiqiu asked.

"Mr. Lester said that another consciousness invaded and attacked his brain." Frederick had a strange expression when he said this.

"What does this mean?" Even if everyone here is a scientist, it is difficult to understand such an expression.

Frederick said: "According to Mr. Lester, he fought with the invader for a long time. He suspected that the invader was extraterrestrial life, which is what we often call aliens."

"alien?"

"Yes, aliens." Professor Frank, the convener of this meeting and chairman of the International Association for Quantum Applications, who was sitting next to Frederick, took the microphone from Frederick.

"In our novels and movies, aliens always have bodies similar to those of earth creatures, either like humans or bugs, with facial features, a digestive tract, and the need to eat and excrete. At most, they look a little disgusting. For example, several long tentacles and highly corrosive acidic saliva.”

"But we are scientists, and we should not be limited to our understanding and simple imagination of carbon-based life. Why does life have to grow like us? Why can't it be a stone or a nebula? We should not even be limited to silicon-based life. In imagination, that’s too narrow-minded!”

Professor Frank said this in one breath, paused slightly, and looked out the window of the conference center, as if looking at a galaxy hundreds of millions of light years away.

"Why does life have to be material? In addition to matter, there are also extensive and unknown existences in the universe. In those seemingly empty places, there may be some life forms that we cannot understand, just like we still cannot understand ourselves. —What is our consciousness made of?”

"Mr. Lester has a superhuman brain that none of us can match. It is he who has given us new hope in theoretical physics. I believe that even at the moment when his life is on the line, he will not talk nonsense."

Professor Frank withdrew his gaze and looked at the scientists present.

Whispers resounded in the venue again.

Independent consciousness exists widely in different dimensions of the universe, and has long been proposed as a scientific hypothesis. However, this hypothesis is meaningless from an experimental point of view, as well as from a mathematical and logical point of view, so scientists rarely talk about it, and few do real research.

But once it comes from the mouth of an academic leader, it's different.

"Then what does this have to do with our meeting and the missing islands in the Pacific?"

Frank glanced at the questioner, nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Lester believes that in a certain area of ​​the earth, there is a wormhole leading to an unknown place in the universe."
