June 2545.
"Xiao Qin, my theory is not complete yet, you can't experiment rashly." Lu An took off in an emergency shuttle from the earth and headed straight for the moon.
After the signal was delayed for two seconds, a reply came from Qin Ming who was far away on the moon: "Teacher, the world of physics has once again fallen into theoretical stagnation for more than two hundred years. The contradiction between quantum theory and relativity has become a shackle for scientific development. You have always been unwilling to carry out the zero-point energy experiment, so let the students complete it for you. Let's do it."
Lu An said angrily: "If it causes vacuum decay, it will be a cosmic disaster, stop it!"
Qin Ming said calmly: "The experiment has already started, it's too late."
Lu An was speechless on the spot.
A moment later, Qin Ming's excited voice came from the communication: "Energy is being transferred from the vacuum, teacher, we have reached the forefront of human energy exploration, and the experiment is about to be..."
A sharp alarm sounded suddenly, the signal was interrupted instantly, and Qin Ming's voice stopped abruptly.
"Sigh..."
Lu An sighed bitterly and gave up the struggle completely.
I saw a tiny point quickly forming in the center of the energy field. It was the starting point of the vacuum bubble spreading around. The space laboratory instantly collapsed like a sandcastle, and the surrounding atomic structure instantly collapsed.
Qin Ming saw with his own eyes that the vacuum collapsed and died instantly, so quickly and painlessly.
The vacuum bubble expanding at the speed of light makes time meaningless, making it impossible to detect or escape in advance.
It spread to Lu An in just 1.2 seconds. His body, including the shuttle and the earth behind him, all instantly collapsed into discrete fermion clouds.
Severe changes in the geometry of space and time cause chain decay of the surrounding space, and the physical state transformation is instantly completed wherever it goes.
All existing scientific theories have failed, and basic physical parameters such as Planck's constant and the speed of light have been reconstructed...
All celestial bodies such as the earth and the moon covered by the vacuum bubble spreading at the speed of light have collapsed or transformed into unknown forms due to changes in physical constants. All life forms that rely on existing physical laws to exist have collapsed instantly due to the loss of stability of biomolecular structures.
Human civilization is dying at the speed of light in a physical sense, and even the traces of its existence are completely erased.
Lu An's body has disintegrated, but his consciousness miraculously survived in some unknown form, and is dominated by another set of physical rules, which puts him in a state of super-light speed, which can only be faster than the speed of light, not slower than the speed of light, or even equal to the speed of light.
In this strange state, Lu An saw the perfect resonance between the folds of space-time and the tremors of the quantum field, the nature of pseudo-vacuum decay, and the drastic changes in physical constants like a symphony, with each note being a rearrangement of the basic forces.
The fragments of equations that had troubled him suddenly arranged themselves into a golden spiral.
Lu An suddenly understood, and he was relieved. He could die in the morning after hearing the truth.
…
Midsummer, 2013.
The young man stood alone by the window and silently looked at the scenery outside. He had deep eyes, a tall figure, as straight as a pine tree, short and crisp hair, and an angular jawline, which made him a handsome face with great tension.
"The appearance of more than five hundred years ago is really familiar yet strange at the same time..."
This young man is clearly Lu An. The cosmic disaster made him unexpectedly reborn and returned to his youth in 2013.
However, he still doesn’t know whether the timeline of the original world has been reversed back to 2013, or whether he has traveled to another parallel world in the multiverse.
Because it can neither be proved nor falsified.
But what I saw, heard, felt and knew was exactly the same as 2013 in my memory.
The difference is that Lu An now has more than 500 years of memory knowledge and experience in his brain.
In his previous life, Lu An used his talents to greatly promote the rapid development of human technological civilization, doubling and greatly extending human life. He also lived into the 26th century until the experiment in 2545 caused vacuum decay.
"Since everything is the same as in memory, let's restart life and start everything from scratch..." Lu An stared at the scenery outside the window and murmured. Everything is still the same as it was before. Friends, relatives and loved ones are all there, at least it's not a bad thing.
After Lu An was reborn, the one thing he wanted to do most now was to find that bastard Qin Ming.
If he can't be beaten to death, he will beat him to death. But what makes Lu An feel helpless is that he can't punish Qin Ming now even if he wants to.
Because Qin Ming was born in 2517, and it is now 2013, the 18th generation of that boy's ancestors are not even embryos yet.
Furthermore, Lu An realized that his rebirth would inevitably cause a butterfly effect, and it was unknown whether Qin Ming would appear five hundred years later.
Today, it has been three months since he returned to this era. During these three months, Lu An has gradually adapted to this era and replaced himself as a 22-year-old young man. As for the honors, achievements, personal prestige, and social status of his previous life, they no longer apply in this world, and he needs to re-establish them.
Lu An raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window. A memory from his past life suddenly appeared in his mind. He remembered an important event.
Not surprisingly, 15 years later, in 2028, humans will discover an asteroid with a dim metal structure, which is several times larger than the "Chicxulub" asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
its orbit will intersect with the Earth in 2036, when it will hit the Earth head-on.
Humanity faced the screening test of this "Great Filter" from the universe, and finally passed the crisis of annihilation without any danger.
This crisis in the previous life was successfully resolved under the leadership of Lu An.
At that time, Dongfang and Ah Mei were about to compete and decide life and death. The discovery of this asteroid confused both sides.
With no eggs left in the nest, the two sides quickly put aside their disputes and were forced to form a desperate alliance to jointly deal with this annihilating crisis.
The solution provided by the Luan team was adopted, and all mankind showed unprecedented true unity and finally succeeded in deflecting the orbit of the asteroid.
It was originally going to hit the Earth head-on. After changing its orbit, the asteroid was captured by the Earth's gravity and became the second natural satellite.
Lu An still remembers the eight years from 2028 to 2036. Although those years were short, they were magnificent and even more evocative.
· The country has made two preparations. The whole country has been united and mobilized more than one billion people for eight years to unleash productivity to the extreme.
The first-hand preparation is to deal with the worst-case scenario, that is, an asteroid eventually hits the earth. The entire population prepares for shortages, wars, and food. The economy is fully transformed into a wartime state. The infrastructure mania index is full. Thousands of shelters that can withstand a magnitude 10 earthquake are being built crazily across the country.
If an asteroid hits the surface, the energy it releases is transmitted from the impact point to the other side of the Earth, enough to cause a magnitude 10 earthquake in the other hemisphere. The calculated impact point of the asteroid was on the African continent, and the country became the relatively safest place in the world.
Because the majestic Himalayas blocked the monstrous tsunami from the Indian Ocean, the first wave of impact only required the shelter to withstand the transmitted 10-magnitude earthquake to survive the most dangerous moment.
The debris meteorites that swept the world later seemed scary but not that dangerous. The anti-aircraft missile system deployed around the shelter could effectively intercept them. Although it was still very dangerous, it was at least within the capabilities of manpower.
Second-hand preparation is to change the orbit of the asteroid before it hits the earth. To this end, the second-hand preparation is carried out at the same time. Several rockets are continuously launched into space every day, and relevant equipment and materials are continuously sent into space orbit.
In the end, mankind survived this catastrophic crisis without any danger, and the asteroid was captured by the earth's gravity and became the second natural satellite.
However, not long after the crisis was resolved, due to the dispute over the interests of this asteroid, the Alliance of Despair directly collapsed and turned against each other, and then began to fight each other again.
Many years later, under the leadership of Lu An, the asteroid was transformed and used as the main structure to build a super space star city.
At this moment, Lu An is considering whether to warn the world about this crisis and respond early, so that he can have 15 more years of preparation time than in his previous life.
But he immediately gave up the idea because the time was not right.
No one would believe it if I told it now. The reason why the asteroid was not discovered until 2028 was because the structure was too dim and difficult to observe. Now 15 years earlier means that the asteroid is further away and is basically impossible to find.
Lu An knows that he is talking lightly now, and he cannot produce evidence to prove it. It is impossible for a 22-year-old man to just say a word, and mankind can put aside its internal disputes, and then unite and devote the world's material resources to deal with it.
Furthermore, if Lu An said it in advance, even if he really believed it, he would have discovered the asteroid in advance.
The next step is to face endless investigations and interrogations, and there is also a danger to one's life.
Lu An clearly remembers that in his previous life, after the asteroid was discovered in 2028, it was immediately classified as top secret information. In the early stages, before an effective response plan was formulated, the information was strictly blocked.
Anyone who knows the truth is strictly restricted in movement and speech. If there is a motive to spread information, at least they will be locked up in a dark room, and in more severe cases, they will be killed mercilessly, in order to avoid causing global panic and collapse of order.
Lu An is not yet a big shot, but he knows the truth. Even if his life is not in danger, he will definitely be subject to various restrictions, making it difficult to do anything.
People speak softly, their words have no weight, and their development is restricted.
If we cannot quickly rise to become a giant, and others cannot handle the asteroid by then, then there is no need to worry about whether vacuum decay will repeat itself five hundred years later. This asteroid has already "filtered" out human civilization five hundred years in advance.
It can be seen that it would be a bad thing for humans to detect it early, because several key technologies to deal with the asteroid crisis were developed by Lu An.
But now these technology trees have not been lit up yet. In the face of this crisis, confidence is more precious than gold.
Had it been discovered 15 years earlier, the conclusion must be that mankind cannot cope with the current level of science and technology, and can only leave it to fate.
That will only severely damage everyone’s confidence. Not only will it fail to unite, but it is more likely to accelerate the collapse of civilized order.
The timing is wrong. It neither takes advantage of the right time, nor the advantage, nor the harmony.
Lu An knows the pros and cons, and he certainly can’t speak out now.
The correct approach is to let yourself rise as soon as possible, and only when your words have weight will you be taken seriously.
Finally, Lu An put away his thoughts. He was not worried about the future asteroid crisis. He could handle it in his previous life, not to mention that in this life he had the advantage of foresight and more than 500 years of memory knowledge.
At present, returning to 2013 has become an established fact, and the top priority is to make yourself rise quickly.
…
Lu An, who was standing by the window, retracted his gaze and turned back to the house.
He took a laptop and sat down in the living room. He opened his email account and found that more than twenty emails were unread.
Caltech and MIT both took the initiative to send him special admission invitations, hoping that he could go to study for a Ph.D.
In addition, many other emails are all high-paying special invitations sent by well-known domestic and foreign companies. These companies are either world-renowned world-class giants or top industry leaders.
Large companies with national teams, such as Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, Aviation Industry Corporation of China, China National Nuclear Corporation, etc.
There are also large private technology companies, such as communications giant Huawei, e-commerce giant Ali, social network giant Goose Factory, etc.
Large foreign companies include Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.
They are all top companies that thousands of job seekers dream of joining.
Lu An studied at NPU and graduated this year. The reason why he is being recruited by so many large companies and the world's top universities is because his academic performance is so amazing.
If "genius" only has extraordinary ability and creativity in a certain field, then "generalist" means having extraordinary ability and creativity in multiple fields at the same time.
Geniuses in a single field are common, but generalists across fields are rare.
While at school, Lu An not only showed extraordinary talent and creativity in many majors in engineering and science, but also showed amazing attainments in management and economics.
There is no doubt that Lu An also belongs to the category of "generalist".
Now he has more than five hundred years of future knowledge and experience, especially the strange experience of the cosmic disaster in his previous life, which gave him unexpected insight into countless scientific truths.
Lu An read the email for a while and then closed the page.
Lu An had no intention of going to the special recruitment invitations from two top science and technology universities, because there was nothing more that either university could teach him.
With more than five hundred years of memory knowledge and experience on the table, the best he can get is a degree from a prestigious school, but Lu An is not interested in this.
As for those big companies competing for recruitment, he is also not interested.
It is better to start your own sect than to work for others. Lu An decided to start his own business from scratch without hesitation.
At this time, I saw a woman coming out of the bedroom.
Her brows and eyes are like spring water, the tail of her eyes is slightly raised, and her eyes are full of movement. The bridge of the nose is straight, the pear dimple is shallow when smiling, the body is slim and graceful, the waist is not too slender to hold in one hand, the waist-length hair is smooth and shiny, and the slender legs are straight and well-proportioned.
Meng Qiuyan came to the living room and sat down. He glanced at Lu An and said with a smile, "You are really hot now. So many big companies at home and abroad are recruiting you with high salaries, and two top polytechnics have also offered you an olive branch."
At a youth academic exchange meeting three years ago, Lu An and Meng Qiuyan met for the first time, and then the two became each other's first love, and they have been together until now.
After a while, Meng Qiuyan asked: "Are you planning to further your education, or go to the company directly after graduation?"
Lu Anyan said concisely: "Neither is going."
Meng Qiuyan was immediately surprised and said: "Huh? You're not going? Don't you have your eye on two universities and so many big companies?"
Lu An shook his head and said, "That's not true. I decided to set up a technology company to start my own business."
Hearing this, Meng Qiuyan looked at him immediately: "Are you sure?"
Lu An nodded affirmatively. Seeing that he was serious, Meng Qiuyan couldn't help but smile and said: "Since you are determined to start your own business, of course I support it unconditionally. You."
After a while, Lu An looked at him and said, "What about you? You have also received offers from several big companies, as well as an admission notice from Stanford University. Do you plan to study for a PhD or graduate and work in a company?"
Meng Qiuyan withdrew her gaze and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Lu An and said slowly: "I originally wanted you to help me with my advice, but since you have decided to start a business, I decided to stay and help you and not go anywhere."
She did not hesitate when she made this decision.
Hearing this, Lu An looked at her for a moment, and then nodded with a smile: "Okay."
Meng Qiuyan still supported him as always in her previous life. Whether it was spiritually or in terms of career development, her unreserved support gave Lu An a huge boost.
