32 days

On the first day after returning to work, Yi Alan was told that the person suspected of Joker had died. Luo Caiyun hoped that he could try to contact Joker within the next 32 days to see if he could get a response.

The news came unexpectedly, and Yi Alan was almost dumbfounded.

Yi Alan got a piece of information about Bob Taylor. This talent is in his 30s. He showed his talent in intelligent program writing when he was a child. In high school, he used the algorithm he developed to write an artificial intelligence program that won an authority. Award, its intelligence level has been highly evaluated in the Turing test. At that time, other people who participated in the competition were also graduate students of key schools with related majors. At the level of "talent", one mountain is always higher than the other. They have learned humility from setbacks, which is good for their future.

Bob's later interest turned to quantum computers, and he did not publicly express his views on artificial intelligence.But the data shows that he still pays attention to the development of artificial intelligence, and he should continue to study in private, and combine artificial intelligence deep neural network with quantum computing.This is in line with what Joker said that he once wrote an intelligent program called A.

Bob was born with a stutter. His parents took him to the doctor for surgery to correct it, but he was not cured. The doctor believed that the patient might have developed a psychological factor, and he was unwilling to communicate face-to-face with the outside world.

Yi Alan can sometimes match the image of Bob Taylor with Joker, but sometimes he feels that it is inconsistent.He told himself in his heart that maybe he wished Joker was still alive.

Anyway, Joker saved Yi Alan once.Although Yi Alan was also worried that the huge energy controlled by Joker on the 32nd might become a hidden danger, and reported it to the team to remind them to take precautions, but suddenly hearing the death of a person suspected of Joker—even if it was only a suspicion, it was not easy a feeling of.In Yi Alan's view, even if he doesn't agree with Joker, he still feels that he is sincere and strictly abides by his own set of principles.

It has been more than eight months since the first appearance on the 32nd. If Joker really wanted to subvert something and pursue something, he would have caused an uproar long ago.

Before the cloud of doubts about Joker and Bob Taylor shrouded the countries slowly dissipated, another bigger storm suddenly hit.This time, even the leaders who sat at their desks and planned their strategies calmly stood up from their seats in shock.

No country has ever given up on finding the origin and cause of the 32nd.Because of the man-made nature contained in the special time of "32nd", many people gradually agree that the 32nd may be an experiment of alien civilization, or it is just that they observed the earth and human beings for a period of time and did it casually, without any purpose, just like Lu A roadside romp came along like a picnic.All in all, 32 days is not something that human beings can explore and understand with current technology.

Despite this, many countries have launched various forms of exploration, just in case a blind cat meets a dead mouse.

In comparison, starting from the time change on the 32nd can already be regarded as a targeted scientific method.

Everyone has wondered why the matter on the 32nd is the same as the real world, but only the time has been changed. To be precise, the clock should have been changed.The time is still the same time, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour, 1 seconds a minute, and the length of each second is the same as that of an atomic clock.It's just that the AD calendar, which is customary for human beings, has an extra 60 days per month, and the time zone of the world is unified. No matter it is night or day, it has exactly the same timetable.

It's really hard to find any other reasons besides saying that it's the bad taste of aliens.

随后，另一个问题就来到了，为什么偏偏是那个时间出现32日的零点？即为什么在华国的6月1日凌晨02:34、A国的5月31日下午14:34、本初子午线的5月31日傍晚18:34点出现32日，并且32日里的时间恰好是一天开始的零点？

Because the division of time zones takes 1 hour as the basic unit (a few regions also divide half an hour, but they are all integers), and there are 24 time zones in the world, so no country is exactly zero in the time period that appears on the 32nd.

Imagine that if the time zone is divided into minutes and administrative factors are not taken into consideration, when the 32nd appears, there must be a meridian on the earth whose time is exactly zero—this is a very simple arithmetic problem. That is 81.5 degrees east longitude.So is it purely coincidental that the 32nd and this meridian reach zero at the same time, or is there some kind of connection?

In order to verify whether this association is reasonable, the United Nations proposed that all countries send some people to form an exploration alliance to investigate the meridian that happened to be zero.However, it is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do. On the map, it is just a thin meridian drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole, but in reality, it is an extremely narrow and vast land, with bustling cities and dense forests. As well as the plateau desert, there is also the vast sea. If we want to explore, should we also investigate the seabed?There are also thick glaciers in the North and South Poles.In this way, a lot of money and manpower must be consumed. From an economic point of view, the gain outweighs the gain.

In addition, because this line passes through many countries, some negotiations and compromises are inevitable from a political point of view.

Therefore, many countries feel that this association is unrealistic. Their reason is that zero o'clock happens to be the beginning of the day, and the 32nd represents a new world.It seems that human beings are a little arrogant if they have to be related to the zero point of the real world.

However, some countries that happened to be near that longitude line and some countries with strong national power still sent some personnel to try their luck.

For more than half a year, the residents on the 81.5-degree east longitude line have often encountered some strange people and asked them if they had seen any magical phenomena at the end of May, such as UFOs, aliens, scourges, gods, demons and ghosts. .When the forest grows, there are naturally all kinds of birds. There are quite a few people who claim to have seen miraculous events, but in actual investigations, the results are often very plain and unpretentious, even ironic.

The people sent by Huaguo always recalled a program called "Approaching Science" that was popular in their own country in the distant past.

Until recently, a man from country E came to the low-latitude tropical island area on this line to conduct investigations. In a lively port bar, he used his already numb face to ask questions that were considered crazy that had been asked countless times.

A fisherman told him that in early June last year, a lot of fish suddenly died in a sea area, which greatly reduced his harvest that month.

Oh, it's just that the fish died.The E-countryman thought calmly, compared to the deeds he had heard in the past six months, it was much less bland, and it was not interesting at all.But after all, he has a national subsidy, and the island here is beautiful, the air is comfortable, and there are no crowded tourists. He would rather stay here for a while as a rest.So he decided to investigate the dead fish incident.

Things are really weird. He asked many fishermen, and they all said that there were a lot of dead fish in the sea during that time.He marked all the sea areas mentioned by the fishermen, and found that all the places where the dead fish were connected formed a circle, and there was a small private island in the circle.

People from country E reported this discovery to the country, and subsequently received greater support.He quickly found out that the owner behind the private island was the well-known Ackerman Ron. He is 71 years old and the head of the Ackerman Group. The Feiyue Automobile Company accounts for 50.00% of the global automobile market, and is also well-known in shipbuilding. It is said that he has also invested in the production and manufacture of civil aircraft.It seems that he has a foot in all fields related to machinery and has made money.

By the way, there seems to be Ackerman's large shipbuilding company near the land port to the north of his private island.It is very common for rich people to spend money to buy a small island to play, but the problem is that his small island is not suitable for vacation, let alone investment, in terms of scenery and geographical location.The island is so remote, on the open sea, that almost no one goes there except for a few adventurous fishermen who want to go further and catch more fish.

The E countryman thought Ackerman's motives for buying the island were suspicious.

But anyone who mentions Ackerman will admire him.He was single all his life, clean and self-disciplined, never had a scandalous affair, even though he had a lot of money, he acted plainly and seldom extravagant and wasteful.The high-end line of products under his group is elegant in style, and the low-end line is cost-effective, which can please almost all classes of people.

Because of this, many people are attracted to Ackerman's personal aura, and it is easy to overlook his other identity, he is also the son of Ridley Rowan.When Ackerman first started his business more than 40 years ago, this identity was clearly mentioned frequently.I don't know when, Ackerman's success completely overshadowed his notorious father.

If Ridley Ron is still alive, he's at least in his 90s.

When did Riley Ron die?The man from country E soon realized that no news media had reported the news of Rayleigh Ron's death. He was suspected to be dead because of age considerations, but with the current medical technology, some old people lived to be over 90, It's not uncommon to be a hundred years old.Why did he subconsciously feel that Raleigh Ron had passed away?Someone must have said on the Internet that he saw it, but didn't pay attention, and just formed a subconscious impression.

Thinking of this, the people of country E feel embarrassed.He shouldn't have been so indifferent to the life and death of Raleigh Ron. Professor Ron could have been called a great person, a truly great person, as great as many great people in history, or even greater.He used so many of the same words to describe a person in one breath, just to express his regret.

If talent is indeed one mountain higher than another, then Raleigh Ron is the mountain with the highest peak of talent and intelligence among the living people of this era. People look up.

Rayleigh Ron is a giant in the field of space physics. Until now, no one can surpass his contribution. At that time, the news media and the general public were crazy about him. The most popular saying at that time was that if human beings could really When the era of interstellar navigation began, Rayleigh Ron must be the first person to set sail and sail far away. His existence is a meta-point, and his name must be on the first page of the history books about interstellar exploration in later generations.

This is just the fact that Raleigh Ron conducted in-depth research on space physics when he was in his 20s to less than 40 years old, just a short period of ten years.At other times... No one knows what Raleigh Ron is doing at other times. He traveled to many countries to defraud huge research funds, but he has not handed over any results.Everyone knows that the research he conducts will not produce results in a short period of time, and needs to wait patiently, but he often cannot even handle some routine funding reviews, and many researchers who work with him have spoken out to prove his application The massive instruments that are built, the experiments that cost a lot of money to do, have little to do with the physics of space.

Finally, 19 years ago, Raleigh Ron exhausted all the auras on his body and failed everyone's trust and expectations of him. No country or individual was willing to invest in him.During that time, there was a popular conspiracy theory, saying that Rayleigh Ron was a "star" promoted by a team in country A, but he was just an idiot without any talent, and he was launched to waste the government funds of country A's opponent In space exploration without any benefit.Other than that, no one paid any attention to Rayleigh Ron's movements, and he just disappeared.

People from country E noticed that Ackerman bought the island exactly 19 years ago when Rayleigh Ron was abandoned by everyone.

This E countryman is obviously not a professional agent, and he doesn't know how to counter spy and track.His investigation of Ackerman quickly attracted the attention of the 81.5 teams from other countries, so both Ackerman and his father, Rayleigh Ron, entered the vision of this group of people.

They didn't really form the Exploration Alliance until this time. After all, in this palm-sized place, no one can separate from each other, so they can only cooperate to investigate that strange island.

They soon discovered that the small island was almost deserted, with no sign of human activity, nor any ships or planes.After deliberation, they quietly landed on the island on the night of February 2.

Under the quiet moonlight, they all saw the metal ruins hidden among the tropical plants, which were almost continuous mountains. It was conceivable that it must be a physical machine similar to some kind of large collider, but most of the internal parts were gone. Some empty shells remained, and some instruments that could not be disassembled were smashed beyond recognition.

There are traces of people living on the island. There are at least low floors that can accommodate nearly 100 people. However, judging by the degree of desertion, the building has been empty for at least half a year. After searching for a long time, no computers, hard drives or paper files were found. Down.

They all felt that there would be no more to gain, but luckily, they accidentally found a record book, which belonged to Raleigh Ron.

It is this record book that would span much of Riley Rowan's life that reveals his amazing connection to the 32nd.
