Marvel's Return of the Inventor

After the exchange meeting of the Flower Group a few days ago, Noah had a private meeting with Ms. Xu Wutong, the chief scientific research and development officer of the Iris Group.

There is only one theme, and that is nerve detachment technology.

In March 2000, Mr. Zhang Yi, chairman of the Iris Group, gradually became seriously ill. In order to fight cancer, or to save himself, he and Xu Zhongjing began to establish a genetic engineering research and development center, hoping that genetic technology could develop anti-cancer drugs.

This plan was basically the optimal solution at the time, and was unanimously agreed by all the scientific researchers of the group.

Except Zhang Shaoxu.

He believes that although genetic engineering may be the ultimate answer to cancer, it is too difficult to make progress in a short period of time.

In other words, genetic engineering cannot save the father's life.

Therefore, Zhang Shaoxu, who was only 20 years old at the time, proposed the "nerve shedding" plan.

Zhang Shaoxu believes that human consciousness can be regarded as a digital database, and the data content can naturally be downloaded and uploaded freely.

The nerve detachment program aims to use neurosurgery to remove the consciousness and then discard the old body to achieve downloading of consciousness, thus saving lives.

Once and for all.

At the time, this proposal was simply appalling.

And even if we take a step back and say that the nerve detachment technology proposed by Zhang Shaoxu can be successfully researched, it only provides a technical solution for the downloading process.

The subsequent consciousness transfer and uploading are impossible to talk about, and they are still far away.

Not to mention that it will eventually involve cultivating a new body.

Cloning the human body, even today, more than ten years later, is still a topic of great discussion.

Therefore, this plan did not receive the support of Zhang Yi, Xu Zhongjing and the Iris Group.

However, Zhang Shaoxu did not give up this idea, and had already begun preliminary preparations for nerve detachment technology in private.

In 2001, at the press conference for the establishment of the Iris Group Genetic Engineering R&D Center, Zhang Shaoxu met a man, old Noah Ellington.

At that time, old Noah Ellington already had a version of the nerve detachment technology in his hands, but because of flaws in its infrastructure, the transfer of consciousness after the experiment was accompanied by a large amount of memory loss.

This technical difficulty blocked old Noah from consciousness transfer for more than ten years.

Until Zhang Shaoxu, a well-known biological scientist, finally grew up, the two hit it off on nerve detachment technology and immediately started collaborating in private.

Many years later, the first real-person consciousness downloading experiment using nerve detachment technology was successful, and the subject was naturally old Noah Ellington.

But Zhang Shaoxu didn't know until his death that Lingxiao Group already had enough uploading technology and cloning reserves to "resurrection" Noah Ellington.

Otherwise, he would not have taken the different blood route.

There are two reasons why Noah concealed the technology in his hand, which caused Zhang Shaoxu to have no choice but to fall into the arms of "different blood".

First, he did not want to expose the true strength of Lingxiao Group, or his true identity.

Second, butterflies and fate.

If a small change will affect the development of the real thing, then it is undoubtedly not a wise choice to save a well-known biological scientist who was supposed to die young at the age of 33 and play God to change a person's established destiny.

From beginning to end, Noah just wanted to come quietly and leave quietly. Everything done in the middle is to return to the original time and space service.

Be careful, like walking on thin ice.

After talking to Xu Wutong, Noah gave up.

Zhang Shaoxu obviously did not leave the nerve detachment technology behind, at least not to the Xu family's grandchildren.

This also means that Abu does not have much life left.

What Noah has to do now is to try to fulfill his long-cherished wish, which is also Abu's long-cherished wish in his life, to go home before Abu enters the cryogenic chamber.

So after the small party held in Catherine's laboratory, Noah did not leave immediately. There were many things that he needed to take this opportunity to ask Catherine.

But again, don’t ask directly unless absolutely necessary.

After the laboratory was empty, Catherine took Noah around the laboratory. A batch of new equipment had been updated here, and it was basic etiquette to show the sponsor around.

"I heard that your company is currently researching triboelectric nanopower generation technology," Catherine asked.

"Yes, in an accidental conductive atomic force microscope experiment, I discovered that there is a special continuous direct current generation phenomenon in the metallic two-dimensional semiconductor material friction system. If the thickness of the interface oxide layer is accurately controlled through atomic layer deposition technology, , an exponential decay relationship can be obtained to verify the quantum tunneling mechanism of frictional DC..."

Never forget that Noah is also an excellent physicist, and he uses professional terms casually.

"Let me guess, silicon-based materials"

"It's true that I can't hide anything from you. Fortunately, you are not my competitor, otherwise Lingxiao Group would definitely have nothing to eat." Noah joked.

The two of them talked like this and soon came to a quantum laboratory.

"I heard that you solved the new Schrödinger quantum equation without wave function collapse, proving the existence of the multiverse." Noah began to lead the question in the direction he wanted to ask.

"It's true that I can't hide anything from you." Catherine answered him with Noah's original words.

Although Lingxiao Group is a British company and Noah is also British, because of the flower system, it has maintained good relations with many countries and regions around the world.

In the United States, we have deep-rooted cooperative relationships with many large capitals.

In addition to Catherine Laboratory, it also sponsors many well-known scientific laboratories, and has a good relationship with the National Academy of Sciences. It is not difficult to get this information.

"Yes, but this was an accident. If it weren't for the quantum entanglement phenomenon in the neighboring state, I would not have been able to solve this equation so quickly, or even never."

There is nothing self-effacing about Catherine's words. You must know that the last time she was threatened by a ring bomb, she almost exerted her maximum potential and updated the quantum equation to a new one without key conditions. high.

Then, after collecting quantum entanglement data at the neighboring state cinema, all this was solved.

"sharp."

This is undoubtedly good news for Noah.

After all, in order to "stimulate" Catherine's potential last time, he even used the trick of kidnapping and urging her to die.

"By the way, let me show you a new project I have now."

Catherine said, pushing open the door of the quantum laboratory.

And Noah, at a glance, saw the brand-new equipment on the nearest test bench.

"This is a quantum tunneling simulator"

"Yes, you know in the United States, when they were young, many girls wished for some Barbie dolls, beautiful clothes, etc., but I have wanted to have such a device since I was a teenager. I didn't know that I would have such a device at that time. How difficult is it to get a piece of equipment? It was only until the new controller from Spacetime Technology came on the market that we barely succeeded." Catherine smiled.

Noah had heard this story.

"Yes, I also need to thank him for industrial upgrading. Their chairman seems to be named Ding..."

"Ding Sheng."

Speaking of this name, Catherine's thoughts drifted back to a movie theater in a small county in an ancient eastern country.

"Yes, it's Ding Sheng. My private laboratory also got a batch of new controllers, which are really useful." Noah said, still keeping the topic on quantum tunneling, "You did it through the simulator. Observe the barrier penetration?"

When he asked this question, although Noah remained calm, his heartbeat was obviously much faster than usual.

If Catherine answers "yes," that means...

She has activated Project Ghost.

In the physics books of Noah's time, the relationship between Dr. Oxton and the quantum tunneling simulator was probably like that between Newton and Apple.

Because this is the key to unlocking the Ghost Plan.

And if Noah remembers correctly, Catherine will spend four to six years on the Ghost Project, and then start perfecting the Arrow of Time.

As long as the three major conditions of the Ghost Project, the Arrow of Time, and the project supervised by Abu are unified, it will be a sure thing for Noah to return home.

But looking back, it is not difficult to find that the Ghost Project, which was originally supposed to start three years later, was moved ahead of schedule.

Noah understood that the timeline of this world began to not follow the established trajectory.

The world is changing...

"There must be something wrong somewhere. Is it because of me? If it was because of me, I should have changed a long time ago..."

"Noah, are you listening?" Catherine's question interrupted Noah's meditation.

"Sorry, I seemed to be distracted just now."

"It's okay. I just said that this simulator is indeed used to simulate and observe the barrier penetration phenomenon. Next..."

"You want to study superluminal quantum tunneling."

In the middle of Catherine's words, she was interrupted by Noah and continued. The two had known each other for many years, and this kind of situation would only happen in reverse in the past.

"Yes, because in quantum mechanics, particles do not need to have energy stronger than the potential to pull out the nucleus. The particles can probabilistically penetrate the potential and escape from the shackles of the nuclear potential. In the Gamow nucleus Based on the potential model, a model that is possible to travel through the nucleus was established, but..."

Saying this, Catherine started the simulator and prepared to show her current dilemma.

Yes, the great Catherine Oxton had her hard times.

"However, your model still lacks a core equation to solve the relationship between the inverse proportion of momentum and the total energy of frequency." Noah picked up Catherine's idea for the second time.

"Noah, I find you are very different today." Catherine was a little surprised.

"Did you find that my IQ has soared?" Noah joked.

There's nothing wrong with this joke. He has a voice recorder from future Catherine in his hand, which means he has a reference answer.

Noah is a physicist after all, so he should be able to understand the answer.

"Yes, you did react much faster today than before. I hope it won't hurt you." Catherine told the truth.

"Hahaha, it's okay."

Noah waved his hand. He was now thinking about whether to use the knowledge of future Catherine to enlighten the current Catherine.

This way she can complete the ghost plan early and then devote herself to the arrow of time.

Help others and help yourself.

"Half-life." After Noah made up his mind, he spit out a word.

"What did you say?" Catherine asked.

"It's nothing. Maybe I'm overthinking it. I was just wondering if it would be... wrong, wrong, not feasible if I derived an equation of the relationship between the half-life and energy of a particle first."

Everyone is born to be a performer, it just depends on whether they find the occasion that suits them.

Noah is the most centenarian, has a lot of life experience, and has extraordinary script skills. He blindly disguised a standard answer into a wrong answer.

After all, the Ghost Project was originally Catherine's brainchild, and Noah was willing to play a supporting role.

"Half-decay..."

But when Catherine heard these words, it was like an enlightenment.

Bristol, Lingxiao Group headquarters

"Abu, I want to see the underground engineering today."

After returning from Catherine's laboratory, Noah was in an unprecedented mood.

"Sir, you haven't gone underground for many years. Why did you suddenly think of going down today?" Although Abu said this, he was very happy to lead the way. "It doesn't matter, Abu won't last long." Now, Mr. Necessity needs to start taking over this project."

"Abu, don't think too much, you will be fine."

After arriving at a private office, he entered a large number of passwords, scanned his fingerprints and eyeballs, and then took out a key and opened the heavy door in front of him. Inside...

It's an elevator.

The elevator only displays two floors, one is a and the other is b.

Press b, and the elevator starts going down from the headquarters of Lingxiao Group Building.

Soon we reached the ground, but the elevator still didn't stop and kept going underground.

Ten meters underground;

Fifty meters underground;

One hundred meters underground;

Finally, the elevator reached a full 150 meters deep under the Lingxiao Group Building before stopping.

After stepping out of the elevator, there is a corridor more than ten meters long. At the end of the corridor, there is a huge loop.

Since the human body is too small and the ring is too large, it is indeed difficult to tell what kind of project this is.

But if you go to CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and see the Large Hadron Collider buried 100 meters underground and 27 kilometers in circumference, it is not difficult to see that this is also a particle accelerator.

Just taller, bigger, stronger.

Every time you walk a certain distance in the ring road, you will encounter some staff working in an orderly manner.

Based on a rough estimate based on distance, there are at least nearly a thousand such engineers in the entire underground ring.

"In the blink of an eye, all these years have to come to an end." Noah sighed as he stretched out his hand to touch the inner wall of the accelerator.

The Lingxiao Group's super particle accelerator project was established in 1995 and took 150 years to complete. It is buried 54 meters underground and has a -kilometer ring. It involved more than scientists and engineers from countries. Construction, the confidentiality agreement alone had a separate room cleared to preserve.

The total cost has also reached an unprecedented US$310 billion.

Today, the super particle accelerator is in the final debugging stage and can conduct the first collision experiment at any time, waiting for the arrow of time to ignite the fireworks of space and time.

"Sir, you mean there is progress on Miss Catherine's side."

"Yes, the ghost plan has been advanced by her. I believe that the arrow of time will have results soon. This time is undergoing some changes that I don't want to see. The plan must be advanced." Noah said.

Abu was shocked.

Miss Catherine is amazing.

"Our ghost equipment also needs to be manufactured immediately. Before leaving, I have to meet with Iron Man for a while."

He heard his husband say that in the complete version of the ghost plan, people are like ghosts.

The most familiar function is flash.
