Chapter 531 The buried paper
Looking at Xu Mingqi, who looked a little uneasy but still insisted, Wang Jing shook her head helplessly.
She first turned her head and glanced at the holographic star map beside her. After seeing the battle situation, she was slightly relieved. From the moment the regular battlefield was formed and the giant scorpion leader died, the battle situation changed dramatically. During the time when the two were talking, the Apophis giant scorpion had suffered more than 10% casualties.
"Since you insist, I will take the time to ask for you."
Wang Jing raised her hand and swiped across the holographic interface in front of her, and initiated a communication request to Song Ziliang who was far away in the main universe.
There was almost no waiting time, and this ultra-long-distance cross-universe communication was connected.
Song Ziliang's voice came from the communication channel: "Academician Wang, are you looking for me?"
Looking at the figure gradually emerging in the picture and the familiar office background behind, Wang Jing raised her eyebrows slightly.
"When did you return to the Dangerous Technology Administration?"
"Huh?" Faced with this sudden inquiry, Song Ziliang was slightly stunned, scratched his head subconsciously and responded, "Two days ago, the Academy of Sciences announced that it had entered a state of emergency. Professor Lin asked me to return to the Administration as soon as possible to do a good job of docking with Chen Fan..."
"Wait..."
Song Ziliang suddenly came back to his senses and asked anxiously: "How is the situation on your side? Can the peacekeeping fleet still hold on?" "
And... Academician Wang, have you and Chen Fan withdrawn?"
"No problem?"
"Well, we haven't withdrawn yet. There is a small problem at the moment."
Wang Jing waved her hand casually: "But this is not the point."
Song Ziliang's eyes widened suddenly.
What the hell?
Not only did the research ship not withdraw, but it also encountered a small problem?
Isn't this the point? ? ?
At this moment, Song Ziliang felt his brain go blank, and then a series of terrifying pictures began to emerge in his mind.
Fleet wiped out, giant scorpion invasion, life-or-death crisis...
A few words flashed through his mind, and Song Ziliang's face turned pale.
"Fuck!"
He stood up from his seat and frantically called up a holographic communication interface, "Academician Wang, please hold on a little longer, I will contact the Academy of Sciences and the support fleet..."
At the same time, Wang Jing also said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's get down to business, have you published a paper on the uniformity of chimeras and hyperspace membranes before?"
"...Ah?"
Song Ziliang's right hand, which was moving rapidly on the holographic interface, suddenly stopped, and the previous hurried voice also stopped at this moment.
"Academician Wang?"
He blinked and looked at Wang Jing in the communication interface with a blank face: "What did you just say?"
"The paper."
Wang Jing glanced at Song Ziliang in surprise: "Forgot?"
"Wait a minute, I'll read it to you."
"The hyperspace membrane is not uniform, based on the observation results of partial rule-space chimera..."
Looking at Wang Jing who read the title of the paper in a serious manner, Song Ziliang felt dumbfounded.
What time is it, Wang Jing still has the mind to ask him about the paper?
Is this the calmness unique to a Class I academician?
Perhaps seeing Song Ziliang's astonishment, Wang Jing stopped reading the paper: "Don't worry, there is no big problem with the battle situation. The Apophis giant scorpion seems to have some minor problems with its body. For now, the peacekeeping fleet still has the advantage."
"I guess the Academy of Sciences has already received detailed battle reports. You can ask Lin Yang."
Song Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief, and some color reappeared on his pale face: "That's good, that's good..."
"So this paper..."
"...It was indeed written by me." Song Ziliang subconsciously looked away, "But this is a useless paper I published when I was a researcher. Even if there is a problem, you wouldn't bring up the past at this time, right?"
Wang Jing's eyes twitched slightly.
"A useless paper?"
"So you really use this to pad your resume?"
"Yeah..." Song Ziliang muttered, his voice getting softer and softer, "Isn't this a conventional routine? I see other researchers do the same..."
"The observation data in the paper..."
Wang Jing seemed to realize something, her expression suddenly became ugly, and her voice became louder: "You kid, do you know that data falsification is a taboo in the Academy of Sciences?"
"I think your time as an academician has come to an end!"
Song Ziliang's face turned pale, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no!"
"Academician Wang, don't talk nonsense, with Zero's supervision, who can falsify this!"
"Besides, I don't have the guts..."
Looking at Song Ziliang's anxious face and hasty defense, Wang Jing was stunned and frowned.
Song Ziliang was right.
In the entire Academy of Sciences, who else has the ability to falsify data under Zero's nose?
"But those abnormal data recorded in the paper..."
"That was indeed what I observed." Song Ziliang's tone slowed down a little. "At that time, the Human Union had just explored a new territory on the hyperspace membrane, and I just happened to lack a paper to complete my annual target, so I went to that territory and conducted a most basic chimera observation and comparison experiment."
"Who knows..."
"The data measured by the instrument deviated from the baseline by 20%!"
"Instrument failure?" Wang Jing asked subconsciously.
"No." Song Ziliang shook his head. "At first I thought it was an instrument failure, so I quickly activated the second set of spare observation instruments."
"Academician Wang, you should know that we usually prepare two sets of instruments when we go to the hyperspace membrane area for observation."
Seeing Wang Jing nod, Song Ziliang continued: "As a result, the second set of instruments also gave the same answer."
"I was so excited at the time..."
"I thought it was a discovery of something special that the Academy of Sciences had not discovered. This is a great discovery at the academician level!"
Wang Jing laughed dumbly.
That's indeed the case.
If this thing is true, I'm afraid the entire Academy of Sciences will tremble over it.
"I didn't think much about it at the time. I quickly integrated the data and wrote a paper."
"Then..." Song Ziliang shrugged, "Professor Lin saw the paper first, and he drove the research ship here without saying a word." Now
it was Wang Jing's turn to be surprised: "That old man Lin Yang also knew about this?"
"Then why haven't I seen this paper in the Academy of Sciences?"
"Huh..."
Song Ziliang looked helpless: "I don't know what happened. When the professor's research ship arrived at the hyperspace membrane, the phenomenon disappeared inexplicably."
"The deviation of those rule-space chimeras has returned to within 0.01, and there is not much difference from the surrounding hyperspace membrane."
"Professor Lin spent a lot of time on this, both comprehensively testing samples and repeating observation steps."
"Oh, right." Song Ziliang's eyes suddenly lit up, "At that time, he even repeated all the operations I performed during the experiment, including... eating spicy strips."
"He said that doing scientific research is all about metaphysics."
"Sometimes the machine soul is unhappy, and you will never get the results you want."
"Maybe those two testing instruments like the taste of spicy strips."
Wang Jing said woodenly: "..."
Being able to force a senior and experienced Level I academician to this point, one has to admit that this paper is really explosive.
"Anyway."
Song Ziliang sighed helplessly, "Professor Lin and I have been struggling for a long time, but we have never been able to get the results we had before."
"If the test data had not been kept in the shipboard mainframe, I'm afraid my professor would have suspected me of fraud."
"Because of this, the paper was not published publicly at the time, but was uploaded to the database at random, and was even labeled as having questionable conclusions."
Wang Jing suddenly realized.
Data that cannot be repeatedly tested is not reliable data in itself, and the conclusions drawn from it are naturally not so reliable.
No wonder the test results did not attract the attention of the Academy of Sciences at the time.
However, by chance, due to Song Ziliang's promotion to academician, this paper that should have been buried deep in the database was once again turned out.
"So..." Song Ziliang calmed down and asked Wang Jing, who was lost in thought, "What happened to the anti-universe? Why did you suddenly find my paper?"
"The Genesis Fortress built a rule battlefield, and the situation of the Apophis Scorpion has changed beyond expectations."
"Xiao Xu... Academician Xu Mingqi believes that this may be related to the inability of the giant scorpion to adapt to the changes in the rules." Wang Jing responded casually, "Considering the various abnormal phenomena when the giant scorpion entered this universe, Xu Mingqi suspects that the universe bubble where the giant scorpion is located and the universe bubble in the territory of the human union may have great differences in basic rules."
Listening to Wang Jing's words, Song Ziliang's eyes became brighter: "So, the hyperspace membrane is not uniform, and this conclusion is very likely to be true?"
"I knew it!"
He excitedly waved his fist: "Academician Wang, to be honest, I have always had a guess before."
"The abnormal phenomenon of that hyperspace membrane must be hidden, and it may be related to the nature of the hyperspace membrane!"
This time, Wang Jing did not directly deny Song Ziliang's statement.
A living example is right in front of us.
No matter how suspicious you are, you should at least weigh the weight of the evidence.
"Maybe... there is a connection."
Wang Jing hesitated for a moment: "I will submit this paper directly to Chief Lu."
"You may have to find a time to take some academicians with professional counterparts to the hyperspace membrane area to take a closer look."
...
The communication link was cut off.
The news brought by Wang Jing obviously brought a big surprise to Song Ziliang.
——As the first discoverer of this phenomenon, even if Song Ziliang does nothing next, part of the credit for this research will fall on him.
Especially this kind of major discovery that is enough to subvert the current theory and cognition of the Human Union.
In a sense, just relying on this inconspicuous paper, Song Ziliang can go down in history!
"This kid..."
Wang Jing raised his hand to close the holographic interface in front of him, and a fleeting envy flashed in his heart: "What good luck."
First there was this paper that was accidentally discovered, and then there was Chen Fan, an investigator who could not be found in the entire Human Union...
What is lying down to win?
This is the real lying down to win!
"Academician Wang." Xu Mingqi's voice was also mixed with a little excitement. "From this point of view, rule technology may really be the nemesis of those giant scorpions!"
Wang Jing came back to his senses, thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Notify Genesis Fortress to increase the rule deviation in the rule battlefield as much as possible."
"I want to test the tolerance of the Apophis giant scorpion to the rules."
...
Buzz...
The moment the order was issued, the output mode of Genesis Fortress changed silently.
The density of [String] began to increase, but the coverage area was reduced - increasing the rule deviation means more computing resources and energy. In the absence of various supporting facilities and external plug-ins, the power of the Genesis Fortress at the light-year level is still limited.
Looking at the virtual outline of the rule battlefield in the holographic star map gradually shrinking, Wang Jing's eyes flashed with a trace of regret.
If the specifications of the Genesis Fortress were a little larger, or if it was equipped with a matching external plug-in, it would be better.
It can only be said that man proposes, God disposes.
When the Z619 peacekeeping fleet just set out, Wang Jing even felt that it was a bit too extravagant for a peacekeeping fleet to be equipped with a Genesis Fortress, after all, the opponent was just a group of "local giant scorpions" with the strength of level 8 civilization.
Even without the Genesis Fortress, the standard level 9 peacekeeping fleet was enough to annihilate all these local giant scorpions.
As a result...
who knew that these local giant scorpions were just some insignificant "chess pieces", and the real big boss was this group of Apophis giant scorpions with level 9 combat power!
The adjusted [String] storm quietly took shape in the starry sky and swept towards the distant regular battlefield.
On the battlefield, the silver-white flagship fortress was recklessly chasing an Apophis giant scorpion that was trying to escape. In the light of the macro-electronic bomb and the zero-point ray, this spherical warship, which was only the size of an enemy's claw, was releasing an invincible gravitational fluctuation. The body of the Apophis giant scorpion that was listed as the target of pursuit was dismembered one by one as the silver-white and golden light flashed.
In addition to the flagship fortress, the attack team composed of the main battleships also launched attacks on the designated targets one by one under the leadership of the Titan mothership.
Although the efficiency was far less than that of the flagship fortress, it also achieved a one-sided advantage.
Wow! !
The reconstructed [String] storm finally crossed the starry sky and "blew" onto the battlefield.
At this moment, the rules on the battlefield fluctuated violently as if they had taken stimulants. If the previous average rule deviation was only 5, then the current rule deviation directly soared by a full double, reaching the level of 10!
A sudden change!
Roar! ! !
The Apophis giant scorpion, exhausted from being chased by the flagship fortress, paused, raised its head and let out a silent roar.
As it roared, the giant scorpion's already broken body was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just like...
those "gray fish" who died in order to escape the central black hole's event horizon.
ps: My mother had a car accident on the road and just came back from the hospital. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured, just a small fracture...
Today's update is a little late, sorry.
