32 days

"Think about it, once our idea is successful, if we build an aircraft carrier, we can harvest two of the same quality, with a hundred fighter jets, and double the effort in the blink of an eye... No, no, these things, I mean Weapons, I'm afraid we won't need them anymore. We don't have to fight for resources anymore, and everyone's food, clothing and housing will be solved. We can connect with more weak parallel universes, just like children holding many balloons. Resources will Double, double, triple..."

"Don't worry about underpopulation, because it takes half or less people to work and get as much results as now. Don't worry about overpopulation, after all, we will have more than one earth. God, I am the first time Seeing such a bright and beautiful future for human beings. To be honest, many times I feel that human beings are coming to an end."

"If we can bring the resources of the 32nd day to our world, and conversely infer, we can also bring the things of our world, such as nuclear waste and a large amount of garbage that cannot be processed and degraded!"

Although resource transfer is only a lip service, the benefits it can bring are enough to make the heart warm, so many excited leaders can't wait to discuss the action plan.

First of all, it is clear that the quantum dam and the information it records are the property of all mankind, and a certain country or a few countries are never allowed to monopolize it for any reason.

As for the inventor, Riley Ron?

"Oh, I think he'd be more than happy to see his legacy benefit all of humanity."

"Besides, the Quantum Dam that belonged to Raleigh Ron has actually been destroyed by himself, and the one on the 32nd technically has no owner. It will be as selfless as the earth beneath our feet. nurture all living beings."

On the basis of this consensus, how to distribute benefits has become a top priority.

According to the principle of "more work, more pay", who will contribute more to the plan, such as bringing the technical data and recorded information of the 32-day Neutron Quantum Dam back to the universe in the early stage, conducting in-depth research on this in the mid-term, and designing and building related machines in the later stage , and the final human transfer. In summary, whichever country contributes more should get more right to speak and distribute.However, some small countries are afraid that some big countries will use various means to conduct technological monopoly in disguise in these processes, and insist on formulating a detailed agreement that is fair and just while taking humanitarian considerations into account. This will be a protracted task.

And some big countries are also weighing and thinking about how to make the situation more favorable to them.No one really thinks that with a quantum dam, human beings can immediately become a unified community.They are more worried about whether one of the most powerful countries in the world will take this opportunity to emerge suddenly, become an unprecedented superpower and lead the world.

Perhaps in the distant future, a completely unified earth will be more peaceful, beautiful, united and strong, and people will forget their nationality and only identify with their identity as earthlings and live in harmony.But at this moment, the leaders of every country are more willing to stand on their own country's standpoint to fight for interests.

The key link is how to bring the huge technical data and recorded information of the Quantum Dam back to the universe—it can be said that whoever can grasp these information faster and more information has an absolute advantage.

At this time, they finally remembered the scientist exemption agreement they had signed before, and just according to the list in the agreement, they trained the talents in the fields of physics and machinery, and then transported them to that island. Slowly transfer the knowledge back.During this period, these people had to stay together. Every time they came out on the 32nd, they had to copy the contents of their memories under the supervision of all the national supervision teams for information sharing.

Some of the meeting's biggest disagreements ensued.

How many people should be sent there?Just by looking at the ruins of the Quantum Dam, one can tell that this is a huge and complicated project. Naturally, there are as many talents as there are. The population on the 32nd is so sparse, and all the talents in these fields are not too many.

But the problem is that some countries have a lot of related talents, some countries have few related talents, and some small countries don’t even have any, and the reason for this situation is just luck (it’s not all luck, from the perspective of probability, Countries with large populations, advanced education, and high levels of science and technology will have more relevant talents selected on the 32nd). In any case, if the contribution is calculated from the number of talents sent, this is for countries with weaker national strength and bad luck. It's not fair at all, they lost at the starting line at the beginning and were excluded from the circle.But if it is not counted, it is obviously unfair to a country that has produced a lot of talents.

If it were any other time, those countries with more talents would not care about fairness or unfairness, and it would be fairest to work more and pay more.But they were afraid that those small countries that could not participate would destroy the quantum dam on the 32nd with an attitude of burning everything together, so they had to agree to a "minimum guarantee" measure, even if there is no talent appointment, there will be a certain degree of contribution, and then use this Based on the value, every time one more person is sent, there will be a little more contribution.And if there are more than five people, the contribution of each additional person will be halved, just like high income requires high taxes, so as to prevent the occurrence of contribution oligarchs and try to make the contribution tend to be even.

The delegated people have solved it, so how to assign tasks to them?The content contained in an advanced theory and a large-scale project must have several levels such as core, important, general, and minor details. Because of the shortage of manpower and the huge amount of information, they can only be divided into divisions and cooperation to break up the data into pieces. Brought back, but let these people memorize data with different levels of importance have an impact on their contribution?

Who memorizes the more important things, while others memorize the less important things?Is it based on academic level?Since the overlap rate of the fields that the talents are good at is not high, it is necessary to develop a new quantifiable ability measurement standard for the knowledge involved in the quantum dam.The formulation of this standard will be a protracted battle for all countries.

What's more terrible is that the crisis of confidence that has been lingering since its appearance on the 32nd once again enveloped everyone in the meeting.They cannot guarantee that every person who memorizes data can truthfully disclose what he knows, and you can't even judge whether his concealment is out of subjective will or what he claims is an accidental omission or misremembering.

If the person responsible for memorizing the core data gets instructions from the leaders of their own country, deliberately conceals or misreports some of the content, and then goes home and closes the door and tells their own people to study together, so that their research progress is gratifying, and other countries encounter technical bottlenecks I thought it was because the level of scholars in my family was not enough.

So in order to ensure fairness and openness, does the transfer of some data require people from different camps to memorize and compare each other?How many camps are needed to ensure that these people will not collude?For the sake of fairness, there are too many people who repeatedly memorize the same part of the data. Is it not worth the loss to greatly slow down the transfer efficiency?Maybe when this group of 32-day-olds dies of old age, they won't be able to remember all the information.

These problems need to be solved urgently, otherwise the next step of work cannot be carried out at all.However, the complexity and triviality of the problem, the far-reaching impact, and the large room for manipulation make it impossible to solve it in a short time.The next time the 32nd will start again, this February only has 2 days, if there is no accident, the 28nd will last for four days: the 32th, 29th, 30st, and 31nd.

Such a long time is enough for earth-shaking changes to occur within 32 days.

They had no choice but to put the detailed negotiation work in the following whole March, and the top priority was to protect the quantum dam in the 3nd day.Every country will send people to guard the island where the quantum dam is located, but no one is allowed to land in case someone hides items.Considering that the distances from various countries to the islands are different, they agreed on a time. Only after this time can they use various means of transportation to approach the islands within ten nautical miles. Approaching before that is considered a betrayal of the Human Alliance.

A country nearer the island made a small fortune.The 32nd, which lasts for four days, means that in addition to ships, the helicopters and fighter jets used by people in these countries need to be refueled frequently. It is obviously unrealistic for them to go back and forth to their own countries to refuel.It just so happens that this country has an airport with a large stock of aviation fuel and a ground crew who can provide refueling and maintenance.Of course, the price is more than a thousand times higher than in reality.

The task of Hua Guo being responsible for guarding the quantum dam while monitoring personnel from other countries must naturally be entrusted to Zhou Yan'an.

Luo Caiyun repeatedly emphasized the importance and danger of this mission, because this is the first time that a large number of people from different countries and different positions have been gathered together on the 32nd. Everyone should have certain military capabilities (even if they did not at the beginning, Each country will also look for suitable and potential ones, and they will have more than half a year for their training), they may drive warships, helicopters, and fighter jets, each of which will be equipped with extremely dangerous thermal weapons, and it is difficult to say whether these people Really will strictly obey orders without provoking trouble or deliberately making trouble.During the four-day confrontation, if anyone is not calm and cautious, friction will easily occur.

Zhou Yanan’s usual fighter is the two-seater Swift 10, but this mission requires better maneuverability, and even with the assistance of intelligent software, it is difficult to fully utilize the power of the Swift 10, so he switched to a single-seater fighter, the Giraffe, which can carry out air suspension. The stop can be lifted vertically, which is more flexible.

Another piece of good news is that Hua Guo and country B have privately formed an ally. On the surface, country B will send a person to fly the helicopter to the island, but at the same time secretly let a nuclear submarine approach quietly by sea.First of all, the people sent by the two countries can alternately rest. Secondly, country B hopes that if there is a conflict, Hua country's fighter jets can help cover their helicopters and nuclear submarines. On the other hand, if Zhou Yan'an encounters difficulties and needs to abandon the aircraft and parachute , Their nuclear submarine will also send a rescue ship to take Zhou Yanan into the submarine.Similar forms of alliances are common among other countries as well.

After leaving the conference room and returning to the dormitory, Zhou Yanan said to Yi Alan: "This time we will act alone on the 32nd. Team Leader Luo asked me to send you to the drone base and go to Quantum Dam Island."

Yi Alan regretted: "If I were more familiar with drones, I would be able to control at least one drone to accompany you."

Zhou Yanan said: "It's okay, I have other allies."

"This time, I will stay for four days in the 32nd."

"Are you afraid of being alone?"

Yi Alan shook her head: "If I used to feel a little anxious, I don't think so now."

Zhou Yanan was curious: "Why?"

"Because the world is comprehensible now, we can use science to explain it and describe it. Reality may not necessarily be explained by science, but what can be explained by science must be real, right?"

Yi Alan's eyes were almost glowing: "So the 32nd is real, not a phantom that will be shattered at any time. Do you know? Some movies and novels will tell stories about time travel and rebirth. When I saw I think it’s great to change my regrets and live my life again, but when I think about it deeply, if it really happened to me, I’m afraid it’s more of a resistance. Because it means that if everything I’ve experienced in the past will be changed, nothing will happen to me. If I exist, then everything I do now may be changed and obliterated again, and I will not find the basis for my existence.

"The first thing I felt on the 32nd was this indescribable nothingness. I don't know if it's real. How can such a thing appear in the world we live in? It's like when you find a cockroach , In fact, there are already hundreds of cockroaches in your home; when you meet an existence that can't tell the truth from the fake, then everything else becomes uncertain."

Yi Alan couldn't help holding Zhou Yan'an's hand. The warm touch is real, the world is real, and the 32nd is also real. The short separation will not make him feel tormented, because he already knows that the 32nd It will not disappear suddenly, just as its appearance is justified. The encounter between him and Zhou Yan'an has never been a fragile dream that can be obliterated.
