Chapter 160 Avoidance and Breakthrough

Facing He Wei's question, Lu Ming thought for a moment before answering.

"The belittling of current scientific and technological achievements and the over-exaltation of certain possible super technologies are common misunderstandings among ordinary people who do not have much understanding of the scientific system."

As a reserve scientist, Lu Ming often encounters this kind of problem in his daily life.

For a certain scientific question, such as absolute zero cannot be broken, the speed of light cannot be surpassed, entropy increase cannot be reversed, time cannot be turned back, etc., whenever Lu Ming gives a clear answer, many times there will be people who have only a little knowledge of the current scientific system. In a contemptuous tone, he said, "The knowledge humans possess is less than one ten thousandth of the mysteries of the universe." kind of discourse.

It is true that Lu Ming admits that the current technological level of human civilization is low, that there are still countless unknowns, and that the science of human civilization is only in its infancy, but this does not mean that they can be easily denied.

Because the underlying laws are universal. Just like the mathematical rule "1+1=2" discovered by the ancients, until now in society, the mathematical system has developed to an extremely complex level, and even ordinary people can no longer understand it intuitively, or even understand what mathematicians are studying. To the extent of something, "1+1=2" cannot be denied.

The development of the mathematical system has only developed deeper and further on the basis of "1+1=2".

Or the blind man touches the elephant. A blind man touched the trunk of an elephant and thought that the elephant was like a rope. This is certainly wrong, but can it be said to be completely wrong?

cannot.

It can only be said that it is not complete or perfect. If you want to fully understand what an elephant looks like, you need to touch it completely.

The universality of the underlying laws appears here. It is not only true in human cognition, but should also be true for advanced civilizations. It's just that mankind's current technological system can only touch the trunk of the elephant "the secret of the universe", but it is possible for advanced civilizations to understand the entire elephant.

But even so, advanced civilization cannot completely deny the current scientific research results of mankind.

"The 'true randomness' at the bottom of the universe is a law discovered by our scientific system, which is still in its infancy. I think it should also have universal applicability. Therefore, even advanced civilizations cannot achieve complete Accurate predictions of the future.”

He Wei thought for a moment and suddenly said: "No, Lu Ming, if the 'true randomness' of the universe has universality, then does the 'insurmountable speed of light' have universality? Why is the quantum entanglement phenomenon super-light? ?”

Lu Ming said with a smile: "The strict statement that the speed of light is insurmountable is that the movement speed of any object with mass in a vacuum cannot reach or exceed the speed of light. And mass is the carrier of information, so does the phenomenon of quantum entanglement transmit information? ? No. Therefore, even if the quantum entanglement phenomenon exceeds the speed of light, it does not violate this law."

Lu Qingliang said: "It's still not right. Lu Ming, you and the captain have personally experienced faster-than-light navigation. You and the captain can't say there is no quality, right?"

During the Mountain God incident, Lu Ming and Zhang Dingshan personally arrived at the unknown alien planet. Although the distance between it and the earth cannot be determined accurately, it is certain that it traveled at faster than light speed at that time.

Lu Ming shook his head again: "This is most likely not movement in a vacuum. Just like, the expansion speed of the universe exceeds the speed of light, but this is the expansion of space. Even if it exceeds the speed of light, it does not violate this principle. law."

"However, regardless of whether it violates this law or not, in fact you did move at super-light speed."

He Wei's meaning is very clear.

Regardless of whether the principle of the insurmountable speed of light has been broken or whether it can be broken, it can always be "circumvented" in some way. The avoidance of this criterion has objectively achieved the same effect as breaking it. In this case, it doesn't matter whether it was broken or not.

And, if the theorem "the speed of light is insurmountable" can be circumvented, then can the principle "the bottom layer of the universe is truly random and unpredictable" be circumvented in some way to achieve the effect of "accurately predicting the future"?

Lu Ming shook his head again.

“You can’t think like that.

Corresponding to "a massive object traveling faster than the speed of light in a vacuum" is a series of consequences caused by the faster speed of light, such as time stopping, infinite increase in mass, and even the reversal of time.

And, did the ‘super-light speed’ navigation achieved through some evasive means trigger this series of consequences? Obviously, no. Therefore, the law that the speed of light cannot be exceeded still holds true.

However, 'accurately predicting the future' corresponds to 'the bottom layer of the universe is truly random and cannot be predicted'. According to the example of super-light speed, even if it is circumvented by some means and actually achieves 'successful prediction of the underlying randomness of the universe', it is still impossible to 'accurately predict the future'.

Therefore, I still think that even advanced civilizations, even if they have mastered technology beyond our imagination, still cannot do this. "

He Wei and Lu Qingliang looked at each other, as if they still didn't understand the twists and turns. Zhang Dingshan ignored these and said directly: "In short, it is impossible to accurately predict the future, right?"

"right."

Lu Ming nodded.

Zhang Dingshan tapped the table lightly: "In that case, let's use this as the basis for subsequent speculation."

He Wei rubbed his head and cheered up again: "Since it is impossible to accurately predict the future, there is only one possibility left. The organization hidden behind Sun Lide used some means to artificially create this A crash. This was a terrorist attack."

Lu Qingliang hesitated: "However, the investigation team has conducted as detailed an investigation as possible on the plane wreckage and found no signs of man-made damage. Even if we take over and mobilize more people, we may not be able to find a breakthrough in this regard. "

Even if it is clear that the crash was a man-made accident and a terrorist attack, this road may not work.

"The opinion of the investigation team is very clear. If the aircraft has been tampered with, they will definitely be able to find it with the intensity of their inspection. Since they have not found anything, they can only prove that the aircraft has not been tampered with."

The speculation seems to have reached a dead end at this point.

It is absolutely impossible to accurately predict the future, which means that the crash must have been caused by human intervention. However, the investigation team concluded that there were no signs.

"Then there is only one possibility left. The organization hidden behind Sun Lide used some means beyond the existing technology to tamper with the plane, or directly shot it down in the air, pretending It looked like an accident."

After saying this, He Wei felt slightly irritable.

Of all types of paranormal incidents, those involving things that are "beyond existing technology" are the most difficult to track down.

This probably means that this investigation will be very difficult again.

Lu Qingliang hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I noticed that the investigation team's conclusion clearly stated that the crash of this plane was significantly related to the 'interaction with the current environment'."

His meaning was clear.

Regardless of whether the aircraft was tampered with or was shot down by some covert means while flying in the air, it cannot escape the relationship with the environment in which the aircraft was located at the time.

It can even be said that it was the environment and climate at the time that caused an accident that was not enough to cause a plane crash to eventually turn into a tragedy with fatalities.

The environment and climate the aircraft was in at the time were the main determining factors. Otherwise, even if the plane was tampered with, or if the fan blade was shot into two pieces by some means during flight, the plane would never crash.

So if you want to do this, it must mean that the secret organization that controlled the crash either has the ability to accurately predict the high-altitude weather in a small area within a limited time, or it has the ability to accurately control the weather within a limited time. The ability of high-altitude weather in a small area.

If the "predictor" is ruled out and the crash investigation team cannot find any human factors, there are only two possibilities left.

but……

"Predict in advance where the plane will fly at a certain time in the future, and then predict the weather at this location. Through the interaction between the weather and the plane, we can predict in advance that the plane will crash, and put this prediction conclusion in It is impossible to hand it over to Sun Lide several days before the crash. This is a standard prophet, and this kind of thing has been denied by me before."

All human predictions for the future that fall within the scope of science are trend predictions. That is to say, we can only predict a certain future trend, but it is impossible to accurately predict all details.

Trend predictions were not within the scope of Lu Ming’s previous denials.

Just like predictions about the development of a certain industry, predictions about changes in the global situation, predictions about future technological development rates, weather forecasts, etc.

However, accurately predicting all this several days in advance is undoubtedly out of the scope of trend prediction and belongs to the category of "foreseeing."

Lu Qingliang was unsure: "Is it possible? Well, maybe that secret organization only has the ability to accurately predict these things one or two hours in advance.

Then, with the help of the predicted data, corresponding and consistent damage is done to the aircraft - such as covert damage to the turbine fan blades.

Then the two are combined, because the damage suffered by this aircraft was specially customized for this kind of weather environment. Therefore, when it really encounters this kind of environment and weather, everything that happens next is as if it has been planned. It was normal and eventually turned into a crash. "

He Wei's face showed a thoughtful look.

Weather forecasting with a certain degree of accuracy can be achieved by humans at this stage. So, if that secret organization really has technology that exceeds the current level of mankind, it does not seem impossible to accurately predict the precise weather changes in a certain area one or two hours in advance.

This probably also belongs to the category of trend prediction.

"Contact a weather forecast expert and ask for advice."

"yes."

Lu Qingliang grabbed the phone again.

But after only a moment, he put the phone down.

"He needs to know how precise the forecast is before he can make a judgment."

Zhang Dingshan paused and made a decision: "When the plane was in an accident, the investigation team has the interaction data between the aircraft fuselage and the current environment. The amount of data is not small, and I am afraid it cannot be completed in a short time. In this way, contact him and send him Transfer to the investigation team."

"good."

With sufficient funds and authority, Lu Qingliang was confident to convince the meteorological expert to join the investigation team.

"Then there is the investigation of Sun Lide. The Public Security Bureau has conducted as detailed an investigation as possible on Sun Lide, but I think it is necessary to conduct another comprehensive investigation through our channels and capabilities to see if we can find the secret organization. There are clues. He Wei, you do it."

"yes."

"Lu Ming, you and I go to the plane wreckage site."

"yes."

The discussion came to an end. After a simple division of labor, Lu Qingliang was still in charge of the rear. Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming took a plane and arrived at Qinglin City, the city where the Qinglin Aircraft Assembly Factory is located. He Wei went to another city where Sun Lide worked and lived daily.

In a huge factory building, Lu Ming saw the wreckage of the plane.

In a factory that is as big as a football field, the fragmented plane wreckage is spread over an area of ​​several thousand square meters, and the total number of them is probably in the tens of thousands. Moreover, there is still a steady stream of small debris being discovered by search teams and then transported here.

Lu Ming was silent as he looked at the numbers one after another, the twisted and broken parts one after another, and smelled the vague smell of blood in the air.

It was the smell of death.

The remains of more than a hundred passengers were integrated into the wreckage. Even just looking at it at this moment, Lu Ming could feel the tragedy of the incident.

Fortunately, all passengers, including crew members, lost consciousness before the final outcome came. Otherwise, watching death finally come but unable to stop it, that kind of despair, that kind of fear, just thinking about it makes Lu Ming feel a little cold.

Rest in peace.

Facing these wreckage, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming looked solemn at the same time and bowed deeply.

Both are atheists and do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, nor do they believe that the souls of those innocent victims are still attached here. But this only represents the mourning of the victims in the hearts of the living, and does not involve ghosts and gods.

"Don't worry. We will find out your murderer. We, all members of the Second Operation Team of the Operations Division of the Planetary Security Agency, will definitely avenge you."
