The End of Technology

Zhang Haifeng paced back and forth hesitantly in front of Ning Ju's office in Ningyuan Building.

If possible, he really didn't want to come here today. It's not that the relationship with Ning Zi has faded, but that the topic to be discussed with Ning Zi today should not be discussed by him, but by his superior.

However, now this task was assigned directly to him.

What a piece of shit he is! Is this something he can participate in?

Of course, there's no one to blame.

The only thing to blame was that he was a bitch-tongued. He and Ning Zi had become good friends who talked about everything before mentioning it in front of the boss.

Really, thinking about how proud his tone was when reporting, he wanted to give himself two big-eared melon seeds.

What is this?

With Ning Zi's little temper, if he wanted to do something, would he still pay attention to his friend's greeting? nonexistent.

But there was nothing he could do. If he didn't come to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ning Jie and get some psychological counseling, he just didn't complete the task. If Ning Zi does something terrible again, the bat will most likely not hit Ning Zi, but it will inevitably hit him.

Yes, his work usually does not require consideration of performance, and it seems very easy to outsiders. Even a dog might be able to do well in this position. Occasionally, if there are some mistakes in the work, no one will keep an eye on them.

But no matter how relaxed you are at ordinary times, how much pressure will there be when you encounter such important tasks that must be completed by the leader personally and require a military order.

He never knocked on Ning Zi's door because he still needed to think about how to discuss this issue with Ning Zi. Because in his eyes, the most striking characteristic of his friend Ning Zi is probably his extremely strong self-awareness, or his willfulness.

In short, it is a consensus that Ning Zi is not easy to talk to. Questioning will definitely not work, and the tone of discussion may not make him realize the importance of the problem...

Just when Zhang Haifeng felt that his head was beginning to hurt, the door to Ning Ji's office suddenly opened, and that handsome and handsome face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hey, morning, what a coincidence." Zhang Haifeng said hello like a reflex.

Ning Zi looked at the man in front of her quietly, nodded, and said, "It's a pity. The corridor shouldn't be closed. If it were left open to allow the northwest wind to blow in, it would probably not be such a coincidence."

"Um, you knew I was outside?" Zhang Haifeng was stunned and asked.

Ning Zi pointed at the upper left corner of the door, and Zhang Haifeng subconsciously looked up. Well, the camera with alarm function might have been designed by Qiangdun Company, which immediately made him feel a little tired. But then again, who would stare at the surveillance camera early in the morning if they have nothing to do?

"Ahem, I have something important to ask you, but I haven't figured out how to say it yet." Zhang Haifeng said simply.

"Come in and think about it." Ning Zi turned around and walked into the office.

Following Ning Zi into the office, Ning Zi pointed at the sofa, and Zhang Haifeng sat on it obediently. Then he watched Ning Zi walk to the desk, sit down, and start playing with the computer on the desk. The operation was no different from usual, as if he was not there.

This also made Zhang Haifeng wonder why this guy could be so calm after doing what he did. He would definitely not have this kind of mental quality.

Well, no time to waste.

Thinking in his mind, Zhang Haifeng coughed twice: "Ahem..."

"Well, you say."

The voice came from behind the monitor. From where Zhang Haifeng sat, only half of Ning Zi's face could be seen, but it could be seen that Ning Zi's eyes were staring at the computer intently, wondering what he was studying.

"The diplomatic department is in trouble today. I answered the phone in the morning, and then people from the embassy also came over to talk to the leader about something, and this matter is also related to you..." Zhang Haifeng said in a very serious tone.

"Huh?" Ning Zi turned her head, glanced at Zhang Haifeng in confusion, and asked, "Is it related to me? What happened?"

Facing Ning Zi's gaze, Zhang Haifeng thought for a while and said briefly: "You said you blew up a house in New York about, oh, no, two hours ago. And there were people injured. The higher ups didn't know. What is going on, so I wanted to ask."

Ning Zi smiled and said: "Are you stupid? They asked you to ask, but you really came? A house in New York was bombed and you came to find me? It was about half past seven two hours ago, and I was still in the study at home. Studying the cross-space curvature equation. If this cannot be regarded as an alibi, then you can probably be my witness now. After all, if I was in New York two hours ago, please tell me how to get back to the university now? I don’t even have to fly. So fast?"

Zhang Haifeng looked at Ning Zi's bright smile and was speechless for a moment. In fact, he didn't really believe it. But the other party really came up with irrefutable evidence.

"Ning Zi, I really want to testify for you, but you have to be believed by others, right? There is evidence, and it is said that it was blown up by lightning. That... I have seen that scene, it can really blow up the house. . I was lucky enough to look at the faxed photo, and wow, the glass was all shattered. The ground was a mess..."

Ning Zi glanced at Zhang Haifeng, became serious as well, and said solemnly: "First of all, you should believe in science. Yes, I was the first to conduct the lightning test, and the paper was also published in Nature, but One thing is that even when I was doing the experiment for the first time, I still had to have people on site.

In other words, lightning-inducing equipment needs to be placed on site, right? Do you need to choose the right time to fire the laser to create the filament area? Even for the experiment conducted in front of the world's live broadcast, there must be Fermilab staff there to make preparations, right? Do these exist?

To take a step back, the earth is round. The capital of China and New York are almost at opposite ends of this sphere. If I want to launch a laser in China to affect the clouds in New York, not to mention that it is impossible to build a laser that can guarantee high intensity at a distance of 12,000 kilometers. In theory, I It is necessary to prepare a mirror in space that can reflect the laser of this band so that it can generate lightning.

So now please tell me, what evidence can they produce to prove that I blew up a house? Can you trust science? "

Zhang Haifeng wanted to laugh inexplicably.

Especially when Ning Zi said that she should believe in science.

This is exactly "you make me laugh".

I even began to curse in my heart: "Science has been played in your hands, do you really have no idea in your heart?"

But when he spoke, the words were still swallowed back into his stomach, leaving only a wry smile: "Haha, Ning Zi, actually I didn't believe it when I heard it. Really, I really want to believe in science, but Science doesn’t believe me, but I believe you! Someone sent me a phone recording. You said on the phone what kind of catalyst there was and what it was that you would prepare in ten minutes. But ten minutes later, the person’s house was really struck by lightning. , don’t say those words were not yours.”

I thought Ning Zi's expression would change after saying this, but Zhang Haifeng was disappointed. Ning Zi remained calm and replied, "Oh, what next?"

"What then?"

"Evidence."

"Recording!"

"When can recordings be considered evidence? Did I say on the phone that I was going to blow up the sun, and the sun disappeared the next day? Was that what I did?"

Zhang Haifeng stopped talking.

He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that Ning Zi would quibble.

"I'll give you a suggestion, do you want to listen?"

"Well, you say."

"You can tell those Americans, trust the science."

"Well, what if they don't believe it?"

Ning Zi replied seriously: "Then I can waste two hours writing a paper to prove that it is impossible to launch lasers from China to affect the cloud changes in New York and accurately trigger thunder. This paper should be published in Science. At that time, scientists all over the world will recognize my conclusions and testify for me. Of course, including American scientists, after all, science will not lie."

Zhang Haifeng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Of course, he still didn't understand, so he asked sincerely: "Then if they ask why the house was blown up by lightning? It happened to be ten minutes before you predicted it, how should you answer?"

Ning Zi glanced sideways at Zhang Haifeng again and replied: "Just tell them, sometimes it's like this when you do too many bad things. Maybe it's just something a certain person does that even God can't stand. Even Fei Fei can't stand it. The ungodly prayers of believers are determined to come true.”

Zhang Haifeng smiled bitterly again and said in a low voice: "You made me believe in science just now, and now you are instilling theology in me?"

Ning Zi stretched out and explained casually: "This just shows that our science still has too many shortcomings. For the parts that science cannot explain, we can only rely on theology first. Of course, there is another reason besides this. It’s a very scientific possibility.”

"What's possible?" Zhang Haifeng asked immediately.

After all, this might be his life-saving straw.

Ning Zi put down what she was doing, looked at Zhang Haifeng, and replied seriously: "They are blaming me because I said a few inappropriate words out of anger on the phone, and that person was talking to a certain person. Cooperate with the physics laboratory and use the method I published to blow up the house. Maybe the next step is to slander my laboratory as having weapons of mass destruction."

Zhang Haifeng looked at Ning Zi. Really, he almost believed this explanation now. The logic is rigorous and scientific.

After all, judging from the reputation of the opponent, there is probably no psychological barrier to doing this kind of thing.

The only problem is to be fully prepared according to what Ning Zi said in ten minutes, and then destroy his house... To be honest, it is still a bit difficult.

After a moment of silence in the office, Zhang Haifeng nodded and concluded: "I understand, this matter has nothing to do with us. I will suggest that they investigate themselves."

Ning Zi nodded and did not explain anything further.

Before doing anything, you need a scientific explanation. This is the basic quality of a scientist.

What?

slander?

hehe.

Seeing Ning Zi looking at the computer intently again, Zhang Haifeng stood up and said knowingly: "Farewell!"

"I won't send it."

…

After walking out of the office door, Zhang Haifeng took a deep breath and dialed the phone without hesitation this time.

The phone picked up almost as soon as it rang.

This is probably waiting for his call.

"Hey, what do you say Ning Zi?"

"He didn't do this."

"no?"

"Well, because this is unscientific, Ning Zi said that we should believe in science! If necessary, he can even write a paper to prove this. At least we have absolutely no way of controlling lightning in the United States in China! And we can guide lightning. The laser transmitter is very large. Do you think it was possible that Ning Zi arranged it? He never even left the University! Ning Zi thinks this is the group of American devils who want to blame others and want to blame us. Basin!"

Zhang Haifeng said decisively and with high morale.

Many times it doesn't matter whether you believe something or not, but it is important to show that you believe it or not. Zhang Haifeng is practicing this at this time. He almost wanted to shout the slogan "XXXX, my heart will never die if I die" to prove his attitude.

"Understood!"

The other person hung up the phone directly.

In fact, this answer is what everyone hopes for most.

After all, if you are poor, you put aside the controversy, and if you are rich, you are farting.

…

"What? They said we did it ourselves? It had nothing to do with them? He didn't admit it?! And he protested in return?"

"Yes, protest! They said that if you think China is easy to bully, you can come and give it a try. And what they said makes sense, because from a scientific point of view, it is not right to place lasers in China to detonate mines. possible.

Yes, I just consulted the scientists at Bell Labs, and they confirmed it. It is indeed impossible, after all, we are halfway around the world! And do you believe it? I was so despised that the woman at Bell Labs even spent ten minutes explaining to me that the earth was round! She even thought I didn’t understand this! "

"That's not the problem, Kuruman. The problem is that they really have the technology and they did it."

"Yes, I believe you, as always, I trust you very much, Mr. Dubonle, but we have no evidence! They can even say that the recordings are fabricated, because sound synthesis technology is now very mature. And scientists all over the world They are all talking for them because they also think it is impossible. They even think that we are probably looking for trouble!

In other words, if there must be action, then there is only one option, but that option... are you sure it must be this way? And if the lightning was indeed caused by humans, according to scientists, there must be a large laser transmitter hidden near your manor. And there is a high probability that it emits invisible light. Well... such a device should be easy to trace. "

The old man's hand holding the phone began to shake.

He never thought that one day, someone would slander him like this.

evidence? !

Damn it, when has he ever needed evidence in a lawsuit after he turned forty? !

Those damn, incompetent, stupid so-called scientists...

Doesn't he know that the earth is round?

"Okay, Mr. Dupont, you must calm down at this time. I even talked to my friends at NASA on the phone just now, and I believe you have already understood it. Although negative mass matter is magical, if China has really built With a platform that can stay in the sky, they must have captured the picture. After all, we have the largest satellite system in the world, but no! Really no! So could it really be a coincidence?"

"I hope that one day when lightning strikes your head, you will still think it is a coincidence! Coruman!"

After saying that, the old man hung up the phone directly, and then smashed the phone in his hand with a "bang" sound.

It has to be said that with the support of modern craftsmanship, mobile phones are becoming more and more resistant to drops. Although they were thrown out with hatred, they did not fall apart.

"These damn fools!" the old man cursed.

But it's of no use.

In fact, the old man knows that he can continue to use means to get many people to tell contrary testimony. But this is not a question of evidence at all. He was even more certain that there could not be any so-called large equipment transported around the manor.

It's not that he has confidence in the local police system, but that he has confidence in the security services he spent money to purchase. It was his estate, not an apartment in the city. In fact, even if a bird flew within a five-kilometer radius of his manor, even if it was discovered at the time, the source could still be traced afterwards.

In fact, no large vehicles had entered at all, which meant that there was no way that so-called lasers were installed around his house.

So the question is, when their scientists all thought that Ning Zi couldn't do this, how did he do it?

All fear comes from the unknown.

Fortunately, the old man soon calmed down and began to think.

If you want any benefit in this world, someone needs to sacrifice, but of course it cannot be sacrificed by him. After all, everything he has in front of him was obtained through struggle.

He is not even willing to sacrifice his right to stand in the sun and embrace nature. After all, he is old. Bathing in the beautiful sunshine is like his favorite golf. If you play one game, there will be one less game.

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly felt calm.

Why bother to vent your anger with young people personally?

What's the point of raising a dog?

The old man's eyes fell on the smashed mobile phone.

"Delt, bring me a cell phone."

…

At the same time, a certain department in China.

"So, did Ning Zi do this?"

"have no idea."

"have no idea?"

"Anyway, the report I received is that during the time they mentioned, Ning Zi stayed at home without leaving the house. He went out to Ningyuan at 7:50. As for what he did at home during this time, who You know? During this period, he took a call from Tim Cook alone, and the network only monitored data exchange with the laboratory. But this is normal, and it happens every morning. It should be to check the laboratory report. So… who knows.”

"..."

"Oh, by the way, you can suggest them to check out the Guangming Cult. They've already found themselves dissatisfied, and they continue to deceive people under the guise of Ning Zi all day long."

"Forget it, let's not get into trouble and just write the report. But I always feel that the anger on the American side this time is not fake."

"If you think so, maybe you just have more experience, or maybe the situation is different this time, so you put your heart into the performance? After all, our academicians also said it is impossible."

"That's right...Hey, what the hell is this!"
