Chapter 216 You Are All Bugs! (4,600-Character Chapter)

imperial capital.

In an apartment building in a community.

Wang Miao sat alone in the darkroom where photos were developed.

He sat dazedly on the seat, looking at the stack of photos in his hand, he was completely absent-minded.

In his field of vision, on every photo, there is a ghostly countdown.

This countdown is very regular.

From 1200:00:00 to 1199:49:33…

It seems, that is the time between his photos.

"How could this be!" Wang Miao grabbed her hair, panic in her eyes.

He thought about the film, but he was using a Leica M2 camera made in 1988, which was fully mechanical and manual.

Without any automation, it is impossible to superimpose numbers like the date on the film.

Moreover, after re-checking each negative, Wang Miao discovered a strange thing: these numbers can automatically adapt to the background.

For example, if the background is black, the numbers will become white, and if the background is white, the numbers will become black.

It seems that it is to create the greatest contrast ratio, so that he can see it at a glance.

When he saw the sixteenth negative, a chill came out of his back.

This photo is of a dead tree with an old wall as the background. The old wall is mottled, and the photo is black and white.

On such a background, it is impossible for that row of numbers to be displayed clearly in their normal position, whether in black or white.

But it stood up and bent itself, showing white along the dark trunk of the dead tree, looking like a thin snake attached to the dead tree!

This can no longer be explained by products and science.

It was as if something was secretly manipulating these numbers.

Thinking of this, Wang Miao only felt horrified.

He has always been an atheist.

But what happened right now made him unable to find a scientific explanation at all.

He even suspected for a time that something was wrong with his spirit.

"Perhaps, I really should go see a doctor." Wang Miao shook his head with a wry smile.

Although, he knew that his spirit was normal.

However, at the moment, he could not find anyone to talk about and solve it.

He walked out of the dark room a little lost.

now.

His wife Li Yao also came back and was playing with his son in the hall.

Li Yao glanced at Wang Miao, and apparently noticed that his face was frighteningly pale, and asked worriedly, "What's the matter with you, staying in the dark room for so long?"

Looking at his wife, Wang Miao suddenly handed over the Leica camera and said, "Come and take some pictures for me."

"What?" Li Yao asked with some doubts.

"Just shoot, run out of film!" Wang Miao said.

Li Yao was puzzled, but seeing her husband's appearance, she didn't have the heart to refuse, so she said, "Then let me take a few pictures of Doudou."

She picked up the camera and pointed it at her son.

Wang Miao suddenly thought of the weird ghost countdown, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't shoot Doudou, just shoot something else."

With a click of the shutter, Li Yao took a picture and said, "Why can't I press it."

Wang Miao taught his wife to turn the handle: "In this way, you have to rewind every time."

"It's really troublesome."

Li Yao shook her head and patted it at will.

Soon.

Li Yao finished shooting and handed the camera back to Wang Miao.

Wang Miao quickly returned to the dark room as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, ready to develop photos.

He was so busy that he spilled developer and fixer all over the place.

Soon, the film was washed out.

While praying, Wang Miao looked at the wet film with a magnifying glass.

The countdown is really gone!

On the negative, there is only a blurry interior image.

However, these pictures, Wang Miao thinks, are the most pleasing photos he has ever seen.

To further confirm that the ghost countdown has disappeared.

Wang Miao put another film on the Leica camera, turned on the light in the darkroom, and started shooting at will.

The film was quickly developed again.

However--

When Wang Miao saw the photo above, his heart sank to the bottom again.

The ghost countdown has appeared again!

It can be seen from the screen that the ghost countdown has not stopped at all, but it is not displayed on the film taken by Li Yao.

1186:34:13, 1186:34:02, 1186:33:46, 1186:33:35…

Wang Miao suddenly rushed out of the dark room, and under his wife's suspicious eyes, he rushed out of the house and went straight to the next door neighbor's house.

He wanted to borrow a digital camera to see if the same result would happen!

However--

As soon as he went out, two figures came towards him.

One of them, looking in his twenties, wearing a white T-shirt, looks handsome, and has an indescribably stable temperament.

The other person was in stark contrast to the young man beside him.

He was full of flesh, wearing a dirty black jacket, with a cigarette in his mouth.

Like a butcher!

Wang Miao stopped and looked at the person who came, "Who are you looking for?"

Lu Cheng looked at Wang Miao and said, "Introduce myself, I'm a teacher from Beihang University, my name is Lu Cheng, and the other is the captain of the anti-terrorist team, my name is Shi Qiang!"

"Dr. Wang, we came to you on purpose this time."

This time.

Chang Weisi did not come, but arranged for Shi Qiang and some special forces to follow him.

Because many members of the Earth Trisolaris Organization were caught this time, Chang Weisi had to be responsible for interrogating these members.

There are also some aftermath matters that also need to be directed by him.

Not everything can be experienced firsthand.

Wang Miao raised her eyebrows as she watched two irrelevant characters appear in front of her.

He looked at Lu Cheng and said, "I heard about you, you brought Ding Yi and the others to develop a new type of energy ark reactor!"

This matter has almost spread all over the academic world.

It can be said that there is no one who has never heard of Lu Cheng's name for any scientific researcher who is involved in energy power.

Although Wang Miao mainly studies the development of nanomaterials, he and Ding Yi are old friends and naturally have heard the name of Lu Cheng.

This is genius.

It is said that he went to the sea to do business for many years, but after going bankrupt, he returned to the school to teach.

Within a few months, the energy source of the Ark Reactor was developed!

It has laid a solid contact for the rise of Huaxia Heavy Industry.

Wang Miao's nano industry also received certain benefits from this project.

after all--

The research on the Ark reactor also needs to rely on nanomaterials.

Lu Cheng said, "It's just a fluke."

Wang Miao's mood is very complicated now, but she doesn't have time to be polite to Lu Cheng, so she straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, I don't know what you have to do with me?"

Lu Cheng looked at Wang Miao and said, "I don't know where Dr. Wang is going. Are you free now?"

Shi Qiang took a cigarette and said from the side: "You people who are engaged in scientific research are just dawdling. If you have something to say, it's okay. If there is still time, even if he is not free, he must be free now!"

Hearing Shi Qiang's words, Wang Miao raised her eyebrows imperceptibly.

He didn't like the rude man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Cheng opened his mouth and said, "Captain Shi, Chief Chang explained, you have to listen to me the whole time, please don't interrupt."

Shi Qiang waved his hand and exhaled a smoke ring: "Okay, let's talk!"

Only then did Lu Cheng look at Wang Miao and said, "Professor Wang, I came to see you this time, there are two things in total, but it's a long story, can we find a place to talk about it in detail."

Wang Miao nodded: "Okay, let's sit in the room, but I don't welcome this person."

Saying that, he glanced at Shi Qiang.

Shi Qiang pouted, "I'm too lazy to enter."

He leaned against the wall, smoking and playing with snakes.

Only then did Wang Miao lead Lu Cheng into the house.

The whole room is very warmly decorated, and there are family portraits of Wang Miao's family hanging on the walls.

Wang Miao looked at his wife in the hall and said, "Xiaoyao, take Doudou to the room to play."

Li Yao nodded when she saw the guests coming, and carried her son back to the house.

Wang Miao then made Lu Cheng a cup of tea and said, "Can we talk now?"

Lu Cheng nodded and said, "The first thing, I want to ask Dr. Wang if you have encountered any strange things recently, such as strange numbers appearing in your eyes."

Wang Miao, as the protagonist in "Three-Body Problem 1", has outstanding abilities.

The high-strength nanomaterials he leads research have brought new life to all walks of life.

Especially the aerospace industry has achieved breakthrough development under the support of high-strength nanomaterials.

In order to limit the development of materials science, Sophon set his sights on Wang Miao after his arrival.

By printing numbers on his retinas, he had a nervous breakdown.

After that, with the help of Shen Yufei, Wang Miao entered the three-body game, and assisted the military, defeated the Earth's three-body organization, and obtained a lot of information on the three-body planet.

However, with Lu Cheng's participation this time, Wang Miao did not enter the three-body game as in the original book.

Wang Miao looked at Lu Cheng with an unbelievable look in his eyes: "You, do you know about the ghost countdown?"

Lu Cheng said, "Well, I also know why there is such a weird countdown in your eyes."

"Why?!" Wang Miao's breathing was a little short, and she said impatiently.

Lu Cheng said lightly: "To explain this, first of all you need to know that there is a planet called Trisolaran 4.2 light-years away from our solar system..."

He briefly introduced Wang Miao about the origin and usefulness of Sophon!

These are all permitted by Chang Weisi, but they are not illegal.

Well-known scientists and researchers such as Wang Miao have the right to know about the three-body planet.

Because, in the later stage, the country will definitely need these talents.

Wang Miao opened her mouth slightly after listening to Lu Cheng's remarks: "You, you mean, the strange numbers I saw were all printed on my retina by Sophon using a special printing method?"

Lu Cheng nodded: "You can understand that!"

"No, it's incredible, it's really incredible." Wang Miao looked around, "These things just float around us?"

He was dubious about Lu Cheng's words.

After all, this statement is no less than making him believe that God really exists.

If it was normal, he would definitely think that Lu Cheng was crazy.

However, now that he was exposed to these strange things, he couldn't help but believe it.

Lu Cheng glanced around and said lightly: "Actually, the sophon exists in a low-dimensional space and keeps moving at the speed of light at all times. He can borrow energy from the vacuum. Theoretically speaking, it will never stop. , however, according to the special theory of relativity, from our perspective, it can indeed be said that it is in a state of absolute rest."

"It is precisely because of its speed of light that it can always monitor all the information on the earth and interfere with various physical experiments."

"Our current dialogue will naturally be transmitted back to the three-body planet through Sophon, word for word."

When Wang Miao heard this, she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

This terrifying power has surpassed all existing technologies on earth.

This is simply unheard of.

Lu Cheng looked at Wang Miao and said, "Don't worry too much. Sophon's role is only to lock human technology. It is not offensive in itself. If the three-body planet wants to reach the earth, at least 400 years."

"Humans, there is still a chance to find a way to fight against the three-body planet."

Wang Miao exhaled and said, "Mr. Lu, what's the second thing you want to say?"

Lu Cheng said, "This is one of the reasons why I'm coming to you. I hope you can pay close attention to the research on high-strength nanomaterials. A space technology that I will develop in the future will need your materials. I hope you can come and help."

Wang Miao nodded: "On this point, I can spare no effort to help."

Lu Cheng smiled: "I can rest assured. Now, are you free to go to the Astronomical Observation Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with me, Trisolaran, but prepared a miracle for me."

Wang Miao tightened her lips: "Okay."

He also only had a vague concept of the Trisolaran.

So, he was eager to learn more about the Trisolaran.

Wang Miao looked at his wife in the house and said hello: "Xiao Yao, I have something to do tonight, so I won't eat at home."

Lu Cheng took Wang Miao out of the room, looked at Shi Qiang standing outside the room and said, "Captain Shi, let's go to the Astronomical Observation Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

A group of people quickly drove towards the Astronomical Observation Center in a military vehicle.

Starting from Jingmi Road, transfer to Heilongtan, and walk a section of winding mountain road.

After more than three hours.

All the talents arrived at the Astronomical Observation Center.

Twenty-eight parabolic antennas with a diameter of nine meters are lined up in the twilight, like a row of magnificent steel plants.

soon.

They found the person in charge of the observation center, Sha Ruishan.

He is a student of Ye Wenjie, and has a deep research on celestial observation.

Lu Cheng said, "Dr. Sha, I want to observe the overall isotropic fluctuation of the cosmic 3K microwave background radiation, with an amplitude between 1% and 5%."

Sha Ruishan was obviously informed in advance, and said: "Okay, but I want to remind Chief Engineer Lu in advance that this is impossible to achieve. If this kind of fluctuation is really realized, it means that the entire universe seems to be broken. It flickers like a fluorescent tube, which is nothing less than a miracle."

Lu Cheng smiled: "It doesn't matter, just do it. I also want to see if this miracle will happen."

Sha Ruishan said: "Okay, I'm going to debug the equipment, it will take a while."

"Well, we have time now, we can wait."

Time passed by minute by minute.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, the night sky was completely dark.

Sha Ruishan came over and said, "The equipment has been debugged!"

A group of people came to the laboratory and began to wait for the display of the terminal screen.

Soon.

There are fluctuations above.

The fluctuation just appeared, the straight line turned into a curve, there were sharp peaks at different intervals, and the color also turned red, like a snake after hibernation began to congeal and wriggle.

"It must be the fault of the COBE satellite!" Sha Ruishan said, staring at the curve in horror.

"Maybe it's not a malfunction." Lu Cheng and Wang Miao stood aside, looking at the miracle in front of them.

"We'll know right away!" Sha Ruishan said, quickly operating on the other two terminals. Soon, he called up the real-time data of the cosmic background radiation of the other two satellites, WMAP and WMAP, and displayed their changes as curves-

The three curves fluctuate synchronously, exactly the same.

Sha Ruishan's pupils shrank, he took out another laptop, hurriedly started the system, plugged in the broadband network cable, and then called the Urumqi Radio Observation Base - and waited.

He didn't explain anything, and his eyes were fixed on the browser on the screen. After a few minutes, a coordinate window appeared on the browser, and a red curve appeared on the window, fluctuating in precise synchronization with the other three.

This time, Sha Ruishan was completely stunned.

Three satellites and a set of ground-based observation equipment confirmed one thing at the same time: the universe is really blinking!

Just when he was shocked.

Strange things happened again.

These curves, in the sight of everyone, began to slowly change.

Until the end, it became a line of hieroglyphics.

You are all bugs!
