Chapter 152 Wait and See
When Mansis left the conference room, half of the sun had sunk into the western skyline. A room full of great scientists had not come up with any meaningful conclusions about Parker's corpse.
On the corridor on the 12th floor of the Institute's Great Void Research Building, Mansis ran into his female student Wang Ailin.
This Asian girl was young, and at the age of 27, she had shown abilities that were no less than those of the top psychic scholars of her time. She was one of the strongest brains on the planet. It must be said that even Mansis envied her a little.
Wang Ailin wore a black business suit with a white research robe on the outside, and held a thin laptop in her left hand.
"Professor, what a coincidence." Wang Ailin waved at Mansis.
"The Psychic Research Institute covers an area of 120,000 acres, and the areas where the various research groups are located are several kilometers apart. The probability of accidentally meeting a researcher from another project group here can be ignored." Mansis smiled proudly.
He adjusted his tie, pushed his glasses, and walked gracefully to Wang Ailin's side.
"But it's not equal to 0. You know why I came to you." Wang Ailin smiled mysteriously.
"Of course I know, you are my best student." Mansis smiled.
When other researchers were Wang Ailin's age, they were still running around in various laboratories. In fact, being able to join the United Federation Research Institute as a formal researcher at the age of 27 is already a very remarkable achievement.
This means that your intelligence is superior, crushing other humans on this era and this planet.
And Wang Ailin is not just a researcher. She studied under Mansis, but soon stood out and became the main person in charge of a certain project.
According to the different research topics, the Psychic Research Institute has many subordinate research institutions, all of which are "buildings". Each building represents a research institution. Such buildings are countless in the huge research institute.
And in each building, the lower 20 floors are some basic miscellaneous research dogs, and the talents in the upper 20 floors are the main core personnel of this project.
Wang Ailin is currently the only known researcher who became a core personnel on the upper 20 floors at the age of 27.
She looked around to make sure that there was no one around, then slowly opened her notebook and presented her research results to Mansis.
Mansis's expression changed from a cynical old man to a rigorous scientist. He pushed his glasses and stared at the complex charts on the screen repeatedly.
"You really... did it?" Mansis felt more and more incredible as he looked at it, and looked up at Wang Ailin again and again.
"Based on the changes in the values of these constants and the changes in the psychic energy density around the Great Void Gate, I came to a conclusion. As we all know, as a kind of elementary particle, quarks cannot be observed, but we can use other phenomena caused by quark collapse and quark closure to judge their changes... My experiment has come to a conclusion that the vectors inside and outside the Great Void are consistent..." Wang Ailin said.
"We have always believed that the Great Void is a quantum tunnel that shows us another world and is the entrance to another universe... but obviously..." Mansis nodded.
"Obviously we are all wrong. The other side of the Great Void is still our world... but the time is earlier..." Wang Ailin smiled.
"No wonder, the more we adjust the readings, the more we deviate from the coordinates... This discovery will help improve and upgrade the black box technology, making the closure and maintenance of the door easier and more stable..." Mansis commented.
"Of course, you and I both know that we are not studying this for the black box space, professor, what you and I want is the ultimate knowledge, the truth of the world... If we can master the time coordinates, we can even open the Great Void at will." Wang Ailin said.
"I understand what you mean, Wang, I understand... If we can make a breakthrough in this direction, we can achieve real time travel..." Mansis said.
"But the difficulty is that we don't know any time coordinates, including our timeline, and we have no way to search for them. Time is flowing, and coordinates should not be a constant..." Wang Ailin shook her head.
"We still need to rely on the blasphemous dagger to open the door, and the government will provide us with sacrifices every year..." Mansis reminded.
"But... the research direction they require is how to close and control the door, rather than opening it freely to explore greater mysteries. Think about it, what is the real history of mankind? What kind of power did our ancestors once hold..." Wang Ailin sighed.
"We will always find a way. I think Parker's corpse is a breakthrough... You didn't attend today's meeting. I want to hear your opinion." Mansis said.
"I think Parker is in a paradox now. He is still alive and is likely in the Great Void." Wang Ailin said.
"You mean... he has become two?" Mansis asked.
"Yes, time is continuous, that is, Parker's previous moment and the next moment are connected to each other, but his continuity may be interrupted by something that is not bound by the continuity of time, forming a paradox..." Wang Ailin said while thinking.
"Not bound by time? Is there anything that can get out of the torrent of time?" Mansis looked at the sky outside the window.
"I think that's God..." Wang Ailin closed the notebook and said lightly.
...
"Siri! What's the weather like today?!"
Chen Ke stood by the counter and yelled at the iPhone 3G. The clerk at the counter looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was doing.
"Sir, have you decided to name your phone Siri? You can type the text in the Bluetooth menu, so that other iPhones can see the name when they connect to you. Yelling is useless..." the clerk reminded.
Chen Ke scratched his head and looked at the unresponsive phone, not knowing which step went wrong.
"Siri! Tell me a joke!" Chen Ke yelled again, and suddenly he realized something. This voice intelligent assistant seemed to be a feature that Apple had only when it launched the iPhone 4S.
"There is no voice function, and no fingerprint unlocking. Let me tell you, 10 years later, the iPhone XI will use iris unlocking, and it also uses a very ugly notch screen." Chen Ke played with the iPhone 3G in his hand and chatted with the clerk at the counter.
"Very good idea, sir, fingerprint unlocking... too sci-fi. What is a notch screen?" The clerk agreed and laughed, but in fact he didn't believe it in his heart.
"The notch screen is a screen with a small part of the top of the phone cut out, with only the display on the two sides." Chen Ke gestured on the phone screen with his hand and told the clerk.
"Apple will not design it like this. You probably don't know Apple's design style. They pursue a natural aesthetic." The clerk spread his hands and laughed.
"Ha! That's right, this is Apple's aesthetics!" Chen Ke laughed.
"I bet you that the iPhone will not be like that in 10 years." The clerk was a senior Apple fan, so he naturally disdained Chen Ke's statement.
"Just wait and see!" Chen Ke said confidently, grabbed the phone box and left Walmart.
