Chapter 530 The sun will rise as usual tomorrow [6000 words]



As he expected, exactly 811 people chose to stay.

Yilan, Ou Guohua and Song Siyu were already close to Chen Feng, familiar with his character, and well aware of his abilities, even to the point of being superstitious.

Even if he said the sun was square, these people would first look up at the sky to make sure. So all Chen Feng needed to convince them was a "Black Hole Thesis".

But these unfamiliar scholars were different. They knew some of Chen Feng's achievements, but they didn't know them accurately enough.

Their understanding of Chen Feng was superficial, coming only from media reports and other people's descriptions.

Their first reaction to the "Black Hole Thesis" was to question it first, and then their doubts were dispelled little by little during Chen Feng's explanation.

But even if the answer is obvious, it is still difficult for them to accept the fact that the Witten black hole and Voyager 2 will bring powerful enemies and lead to the extinction of mankind.

Doomsday, isn't that something in the movies?

Now the global energy crisis is getting more serious, the intensity of resource competition between major countries continues to rise, geopolitical contradictions are becoming increasingly prominent, conflicts between different ideologies are intensifying, and the shadow of war is looming.

The biggest threat to mankind at present is its own greed and the limitations of the earth's environment. Things in space are too far away.

Just solving the current practical problems is enough to make politicians and scholars anxious, so how can they think about the illusory aliens.

Even though some people believed in the existence of alien threats and even held meetings to discuss it from time to time, most people had never thought about reaching a conclusion and making it the main theme of civilization development.

At this time, everyone still had doubts in their hearts.

But these more than 800 people had already wavered. They gradually believed in Chen Feng's words a little bit. They also wanted to know how Chen Feng would answer their doubts, and they hoped that Chen Feng would suddenly change his words and tell everyone that this was just a joke that had nothing to do with itching.

Chen Feng's documentary could help these people find their own answers in their hearts.

The next morning, "The Ninth Two Thousand Years" began to play.

The powerful special effects were enough to confuse the fake with the real, and exclamations came one after another in the private screening room.

When Chen Feng told everyone that he had completed this by himself in less than 20 days, people were even more surprised.

Compared to "A Madman's Conjecture" and various black technologies that have not yet been transformed and have not entered thousands of households, the substantial technological innovation brought by Chen Feng that many scholars first came into contact with was in the field of film and entertainment.

He introduced: "I used the first generation of self-domesticated rendering engine in "The Ninth". This is a kind of... well, a special effects engine with autonomous learning capabilities. You can regard it as a real artificial intelligence."

Although it was only produced in less than half a month, the fully CG-produced "The Ninth Two Thousand Years" is a "movie-level documentary" with a picture level that still crushes the times.

In a sense, this is the first real work of Starlight Studio, but only Chen Feng participated in the whole process. The newbies in the studio who are still in the learning stage are still trying to figure out the use of this first-generation self-domesticated rendering engine with active learning ability, and practice with James Diaz's new film. They can't do the same as Chen Feng who completed a whole "big production" alone.

In order to speed up the rendering, he spent 80 million to temporarily rent part of the computing power of the Galaxy supercomputer, which is currently the best in China, for 20 days, and spent another 80 million to borrow the right to use the cloud server of a super large Internet company for half a month. In addition to his personal time and technology investment, the total cost of his CG movie production is 160 million.

After rushing for more than half a month, it was finally produced in time.

In the movie, Chen Feng slightly embellished the names of people, places and institutions in the historical materials.

He changed the names of people in reality and changed his pseudonym to Zheng Feng a thousand years later.

This was to avoid exposing too many secrets.

As for how the 800 people present would guess who was who, Chen Feng didn't care, just let them guess for themselves.

This kind of seemingly ambiguous state is most likely to stimulate the thinking of others.

Three days later, the more than 800 people who watched the documentary for three days were speechless for a long time.

While watching the documentary, they pondered their thoughts in their hearts and digested the "Black Hole Thesis" again. They believed in Chen Feng's judgment.

During this process, the lobbying of Mendelssohn, Lawrence, and Ihlen also played a big role.

Area 52 is no longer a secret.

The saying that "Chen Feng's information came from the alien spaceship in Area 52" is widely circulated. It is true.

Among the more than 800 people who stayed, about a quarter of them were politicians, a quarter of them were business people, and nearly half of them were scientific researchers.

They were all smart people who could understand the deep meaning of "The Ninth".

When scientists discuss privately, the general understanding is as follows:

"Mr. Chen is right."

"Alien threats objectively exist, but humanity is not hopeless."

"More than 95% of the content in this documentary is very reasonable."

"Mr. Chen's deduction of science and social systems is both logical and imaginative."

"Yes, this is not only a science fiction film, but also a masterpiece that conforms to scientific laws and is full of philosophical thoughts."

"I can't believe it. I originally thought that long-distance space travel would take at least two or three thousand years, but I didn't expect it to be possible in the 24th century. Using biological technology to 'grow' Dyson membranes, using force fields to compress space to generate bubble layers, curvature engines, curvature flight, stellar engines, antimatter propulsion, dark energy generators... the future is really incredible."

"I have imagined all these things, but I don't know how to realize them. The processes and deduction principles described by Mr. Chen seem to be fantastic, but in fact..."

"It actually makes sense, right?"

"Yes. I can't find a way to prove it."

"Wait, time will give everyone the answer."

"Unfortunately, I am already 54 years old this year, I am really afraid that I won't be able to wait until that day."

"Not necessarily. He is trying to crack the secret of longevity. As far as I know, the project is headed by Dr. Nightingale."

...

The businessmen had different ideas. They combined the direction of human technological development in the 21st century announced by Chen Feng three days ago with "The Ninth".

In this documentary, Chen Feng's business thinking was exposed.

Businessmen are thinking about how to catch this train as soon as possible.

No matter how productivity and technological levels develop, businessmen who are responsible for the flexible allocation of social resources will always have value in their existence.

It is the instinct of businessmen to pursue more profits and participate in social operations with greater resource allocation rights.

As for politicians, their moods are much more complicated.

Some are happy and some are worried.

The world will never be truly harmonious.

Even in a pseudo-Great Harmony where all mankind is working towards the same goal, there will be a decisive backbone.

In the next two thousand years, some countries will lose their dominance.

Some countries will inevitably return to where they should be.

Although everyone will live a better life, the narrow-minded thinking of preferring a chicken head to a phoenix tail still constrains the vision of many politicians.

What is narrow-minded?

It is not important whether I am better off than I was yesterday. What is important is that no one in this world must live a better life than us.

The minds of some politicians once floated, and even occasionally had the idea of ​​taking risks.

But in "The Ninth", Chen Feng revealed the name of a weapon - the quark quantum bomb.

This is a terrifying weapon that can theoretically tear the earth apart when it reaches a sufficient yield, and it can be manufactured by him in the 21st century.

It is infinitely more powerful than the strongest explosive weapon that humans have ever imagined. Because of its strange stability, its yield can be "infinitely" superimposed and eventually overwhelm the earth's endurance.

The idea of ​​this bomb is a private job that Chen Feng brought into the documentary.

It has never appeared in the ninth timeline.

A long time ago, the then crazy Sergei Ponomarenko hid a bomb that could tear the earth apart deep in the center of the earth in order to fight against the control of human civilization by "Song of the World". It was this quark quantum bomb.

Chen Feng wanted to use a big bomb that could destroy everything to completely crush everyone's extravagant thoughts, and use unparalleled power to force everyone to lay down their butcher knives and become a Buddha.

In order to make his own safety more reliable, Chen Feng brought another private item in "The Ninth".

A single-soldier armor made of ultra-high-strength materials that can allow people to survive in the center of a nuclear explosion.

The design idea comes from the old-fashioned armor he wore for the first time, but the adaptive materials in the Qinglong armor are used in materials science.

This can crush the illegal thoughts of a certain group of people who try to wipe out him as an individual.

Chen Feng has played with people's hearts.

If he did not announce the alien threat first, but directly told others that he had mastered the weapon to destroy the earth, he would probably be the first to die.

But now he changed the order to others first knowing the threat of the compound eye, and then discovering his dangerous side.

Then his description of the bomb was ambiguous.

He vaguely told others that I might really know how to make it, or I might not.

Then he put out his single-armored armor, telling others openly and secretly how difficult it would be to kill him.

In the state of mutual game between countries, his personal negative threat and positive value to civilization will reach a delicate balance.

...

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, we were wrong."

Unexpectedly, a few of the most powerful opinion leaders who opposed Chen Feng at noon on the 20th remained.

Representatives of these people took the initiative to find Chen Feng to apologize.

They said that they were not against Chen Feng at the time, but just wanted to defend the dignity of science.

But now, when they found that "alien technology" stood behind Chen Feng, they finally changed their minds.

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, "No, you can't be said to be wrong. I understand why you see arrogance and arrogance in me. If I were you, I would think so. Your cognition is in line with the limitations of the times and the basic laws of human thinking logic. However, to challenge unknown enemies, everyone needs to jump out of their own limitations. You must learn to regard unreasonable things as reasonable existence."

Chen Feng began to spread his ideas again.

Change starts now.

At this time, Mendelssohn, who should have unconditionally trusted everything Chen Feng said, suddenly raised a new doubt.

"Mr. Chen, everything else in the documentary is basically reasonable. But there is a problem. Zheng Feng, the descendant of the survivor on Earth in the 31st century, and his assistant Freds played too important a role in history. According to what you said, the environment on Earth in the 31st century, which was released with deadly bacteria by aliens, was very harsh, and it was impossible for ordinary people to survive."

"Zheng Feng not only survived, but also assembled armor by collecting discarded parts, and found the hiding place of another survivor Freds, and successfully left the solar system... This is too unreasonable. It is impossible for individuals in a lost civilization to have such scientific literacy and amazing physical fitness at the same time."

"Also, the emergence of the survivor camp where Zheng Feng and Freds were born was also accidental. If the enemies brought by the black hole and the travelers really released deadly pathogens into the solar system, then the probability of survivors left on Earth is less than one in ten thousand. And there are two of them, which is unreasonable." "

Also, if it weren't for these two people, especially Zheng Feng, the human race in the story would not have survived for more than the forty-first century, and would have been completely extinct in the thirty-fifth century at the latest. Zheng Feng is an individual heroic character in a Hollywood blockbuster. His birth was too accidental, and his appearance was incompatible with the rigorous academic atmosphere of the entire documentary, as if it were a miracle."

"Assuming that all your judgments except Zheng Feng are correct and that humanity is doomed, we should not place our hopes on a savior-like strong man who was born by chance. Your other deductions are impeccable. I know why you deliberately portrayed an unconventional character like Zheng Feng in the story to maximize our chances of winning. You want to break the despair a little, right?" "

But I don't think it's necessary. To defeat the enemy, we can only rely on ourselves. Rely on you, us, and our descendants from generation to generation, not on God's mercy. Even if we are to perish, it can only be caused by our own incompetence, and it should not be because we don't wait for God to save us."

"Noah's Ark is just a beautiful fantasy in mythological stories. The real ark can only be our own hands."

Mendelsong was very excited and said a lot in one breath.

The old man has been dealing with the Mi ships in Area 52 for many years.

His understanding of alien threats is even deeper than that of Iren.

Chen Feng was stunned on the spot.

He had underestimated the world after all.

He smiled.

He first refuted Mendelsong's point of view.

"Dr. Mendelssohn, you think Zheng Feng is a manifestation of individual heroism. I don't think so. I think his appearance is logical. You shouldn't look at the next stage of human evolution with today's perspective."

Chen Feng first explained the gene awakening degree to everyone in detail, and then said: "When more and more genes in the human body awaken from their slumber and play their due role, what kind of changes will be brought to the human body. I have already given a clear explanation in the documentary. So it is natural that a certain individual has the largest mutation."

"In our history, there are many heroes who changed the fate of civilization with their own efforts. For example, during the Qin Dynasty in our country, Qin Shi Huangdi unified the writing system, weights and measures, and currency units. For example... there is no reason why there cannot be such people in the future. After a thousand years, we have waited for a heroic leader of civilization, so what's wrong with that?"

Mendelssohn was stunned for a moment, "This... that... but..."

Chen Feng changed the subject again, "But Dr. Mendelssohn's point of view is not necessarily wrong. We really have to rely on ourselves. Even if it is assumed that there will be Zheng Feng or someone else in the future, in my deduction, our future is still difficult. I have almost accelerated the speed of leapfrogging every node of civilization progress to the extreme, and even the human beings in the 31st century have provided Zheng Feng as a hang... this transcendent, but in the end it is still We are no match for the third-level civilization. However, as long as we can do better than we think, and everyone can surpass the upper limit of their own destiny, then there is still hope for civilization."

The good supporting actor Iren nodded heavily, "Yes, I have the confidence to surpass my own limit."

Lamennec Nightingale said, "I will try my best to make everyone here live over 100 years old...even live to 150 years old! I have this confidence!"

Chen Feng shook his head, "This is not a question of confidence, because whether we have confidence or not, we have to bite the bullet. Just like in ancient times, facing the invasion of wild beasts, there must be someone holding weapons made of sticks to cover the retreat of women and children. If you ask these primitive people whether they had confidence at the time, they definitely didn't. They just defeated the fear in their hearts when they had no choice."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I have set the course for the development of science and technology in the next 100 years is not because I have any desire for control. I just want to start preparing for a thousand years from now. We have only a thousand years. I hope that a thousand years from now, there will still be people who remember you as much as people remember Confucius, Sakyamuni, Jesus Christ, and Socrates today."

"Now I give you three choices. First, join my team, follow my arrangements and do your respective work, and I will give you enough extra compensation through the foundation. Second, absolutely believe in yourself, do what you want to do, and make your own achievements. Even if your behavior deviates from my plan, I will still give you the greatest support. Third, fall and become a useless person. After all, the catastrophe in a thousand years will have nothing to do with you. You will not live to that time. At most, it can only be your many, many, many... descendants who will die under the butcher's knife of others."

Since then, this meeting that lasted for a total of four days came to an end.

Chen Feng has gained 811 like-minded reserve members of the Salvation Society, and at the same time, he has also created hundreds of "enemies" in the scientific community who are eager to pin him to the ground.

His goal has basically been achieved.

Time has unknowingly come to July 24, and there is only one day left before the "time travel".

Usually at this time, he has been packing up and preparing to leave.

After all, the rest of his life is entrusted to hanging, and it won't hurt the overall situation if he slacks off for a day.

But this time the situation has changed.

He has decided to give up resurrection and return.

Once the arrow is shot, it cannot be turned back. Since this time there is no way to start over, the time he has left becomes his real life.

Of course, he has to go all out.

Therefore, the hardworking man simply worked an all-night shift at Xingfeng Entertainment that night, accompanying Zhong Lei to record the demo of "The Last Millennium".

Chen Feng's drums and guitar accompaniment are now excellent, and there is no problem of being rusty due to long-term lack of practice.

After recording, the two listened to it repeatedly, and continued to consider for a long time. Zhong Lei made some minor adjustments.

If she made a slight change, Chen Feng would accompany her to play it once.

Zhong Lei was a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "You are such a big star, but you have nothing to do but accompany me to tune the instruments. I am so ungrateful."

Chen Feng also laughed, "To be the accompaniment for the female version of Beethoven is an honor that many people can't wait for in their lifetime."

Zhong Lei's old problem came back again. She rolled her eyes and said, "We can't get over this joke, right? If Beethoven knew about it, he would rush out of the grave and hit you on the head. I am me and Beethoven is Beethoven. I surrender to you."

Chen Feng chuckled, "You are so inflated that you dare to compare yourself with Beethoven."

Zhong Lei was embarrassed and hit him on the shoulder with a red face, "You tricked me into thinking I was wrong! You are so annoying!"

The two of them laughed in the company as if no one was around.

Chen Feng thought that his decision not to return was a very sad thing, but he did not expect that his relationship with Zhong Lei became much more natural.

Because...

there will be no future.

The rules of this timeline have become like this.

He and Zhong Lei will start from the 21st century and live their lives well.

Then he will be resurrected a thousand years later and live his life with the humans of the 31st century.

This time, he and Zhong Lei in the 21st century will not be reset again, and their lives will move from fantasy to reality.

"By the way, I heard from Meng Xiaozhou that you offended a lot of people in the meeting a few days ago? It's not a big deal, right?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "It's okay. I just started a scientific competition. Hundreds of years later, I will make all the bullshit I blew become reality. Those who refute me can also jump out of the boundaries I set and get new results. So there will be no losers in this competition. Those who try to prove that I am wrong will get their answers. I will get my answers."

Zhong Lei nodded, "You look for scientists first because scientists' thoughts are simpler. They care more about the essence of science than interests and power, right?"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Yes, real scholars will not be fond of power tactics, nor do they care much about personal gains and losses."

"But I heard that some people..."

"They are not real scientists. Or maybe they were once, but not anymore. It doesn't matter..."

Zhong Lei: "You just want the probability, right?"

"Yes, some people's lives will get worse because of me, but some people's lives will get better. As long as the good outweighs the bad, it's not a loss."

"You really sound like a philosopher now."

Zhong Lei said half seriously and half jokingly.

One day later.

On the evening of July 25, 2020, Chen Feng and Zhong Lei lay side by side on the bed.

Tomorrow's sun will rise as usual.

It's another new day.

A beautiful day.
