Fifteen years later.

December 25th.

On the shore of Sakura Lake, a thin layer of ice has formed on the lake surface, and the surrounding cherry trees have long been bare.

But the Modern Science Museum next to it was abuzz with excitement, and two middle school students were welcomed to visit this afternoon.

In fact, from the outside, the building layout here still looks like a school. If you look from the surrounding heights and see a campus full of students, you would never think that this is a museum.

But inside the "teaching building", things have already been changed.

The "Classic Science Museum" on the first floor is divided into many open compartments like classrooms. Most scientific figures and re-enactments of classic experiments before 2020 are arranged here.

The most attractive one is undoubtedly the "double-slit interference demonstration".

Students in every class like this place the most. They squeeze in front of the transparent partition and watch a white baseball transmitter pointed at the double-slit board motionlessly, imagining that photons are moving through space and time.

Shuttle through.

Then, they would turn to look at the side wall, where quantum dot microscope observations were being displayed in real time. After experiencing millions of times of slowdown, they could see with their own eyes how the particles crossed the gap.

They still don’t know that what they see in front of them is the hard work of many generations.

The initial cost of this quantum dot microscope alone was tens of millions, but today it is an essential piece of common equipment in any middle school physics laboratory.

Different from other museum tours, the classes here are basically led by physics or mathematics teachers.

The physics teacher of this class was a young man. He only tried to describe the double-slit interference experiment as concisely as possible, but did not explain why there was such a result.

The male teacher looked at the two vertical bars displayed on the wall, raised his glasses and asked with a smile: "So, why do you think this is?"

"Quantum interference!" several students replied in unison.

"I remember the concepts well." The teacher asked again, "Then how did it interfere?"

Now most people were speechless.

"Entropic Torque."

This voice is a bit childish and pretentious.

Everyone looked back and saw that the person who made the sound was leaning on the window sill alone, with his hair half covering his face, looking out the window melancholy.

He seems to be a handsome guy.

However, this handsome guy is very short.

It's not that he was born short, it's that he hasn't reached his age yet.

The teacher was also surprised. Although this person’s appearance is very experienced, what do you think...

He must still be a primary school student, right?

We are just serious junior high school students visiting.

The teacher hurriedly asked: "This classmate...are you separated from your elementary school? Can I help you broadcast it?"

"Uh-huh." The boy snorted, "I'm a high school student. I finished the elementary school stuff in half a year. I couldn't bear the boredom of our class's visit, so I came here to clean up."

"???"

Before the male teacher could respond, the boy had already pursed his lips and said, "You continue talking, I won't correct you."

"..." The male teacher said with a grimace on his face and didn't bother to care about him.

"Entropic torque is an unobserved force."

"But solving its equations perfectly explains how it works, but this is the content of the second level of the 'Modern Quantum Museum'."

"We only need to know that the experiment in front of us is everything that mankind knew before 2020. At that time, people invested heavily in a series of studies and made all kinds of absurd things. In the end, they could not justify it."

"As for entropy torque, this is the greatest creation made by the three academicians based on the lecturers' explanations."

"In the face of the fifth force besides electromagnetic force, strong interaction force, weak interaction force and gravity, the academic community originally wanted to name it after 'static force', but academicians firmly opposed it. Maybe it should be called 'zhengzheng force'.

'He can accept it..."

"Hahaha!"

The students all laughed.

Among the three major academicians, Gui Jianfeng has permanently disappeared, while Li Zheng and Lin Yujing always have to show up, but they are always in pairs. Every time they appear, there is a 50% chance that they will be in harmony.

Academician Jing will be as obedient as a kitten, and there is a 50% chance that he will fight for who is on top. Academician Jing will scream like a kitten.

It seems that Academician Jing was in a clamoring state when naming the name.

After the male teacher finished speaking, he glanced at the little boy by the window again, smiled slightly and raised his glasses.

"Primary school students, it's better to go to your teacher. What I'm talking about is too in-depth. It's not something you can understand just by knowing a word."

"Sigh... the current middle school education is really worth worrying about..." The boy just sighed and pursed his lips at the equipment inside the transparent partition. "There are many examples to prove that things in textbooks are not necessarily correct, let alone

Now textbooks need to be renovated every year.”

As he spoke, he turned his head and stared.

Staring at the physics teacher, he spoke word by word.

"Entropic torque is still an unsolved mystery. Defining it as the fifth force is more like our education system's self-confidence in order to emphasize that our country has discovered the fifth force. At least half of the mainstream academic circles

People think that this is an expansion of electromagnetic force, but the space and form of action are temporarily unobservable."

"The fundamental purpose of the 'Dandelion' experimental satellite we launched two years ago is to enter the cosmic space outside the solar system and conduct a series of experiments on entropic torque in physical depressions with relatively pure laws."

The junior high school students were stunned.

Can't understand a word.

However, they know that the "Dandelion" experimental satellite is really awesome.

To be honest, this is not a satellite, but a super large spore that is packaged and launched with 150 satellites!

Her first mission is to travel around the solar system and drop 20 of the 150 satellites at key points. Then she turns on her own reactor at full speed and rushes out of the solar system at the ultimate speed of 2.37% of the speed of light. In the process, she drops 40 satellites along the way.

Study space and celestial bodies at the vast edges of the solar system.

Afterwards, while heading towards the Proxima Centauri galaxy, 10 of them were scattered in the dead interstellar space along the way to conduct scientific experiments.

If all goes well, the dandelion will arrive at the Proxima Galaxy carrying 80 seeds in 220 years, and will sow them all within one year to complete its mission.

As for the mother body of Dandelion, she will not slow down throughout the process.

In other words, she has no deceleration function designed at all.

This is a journey destined to have no return, towards the sea of ​​​​stars.

This is her trip.

It is said that the "Dandelion Project" took a total of 8 years from the establishment of the project to the launch, which means that Li Zheng was already planning it before the "Great Disconnection". He claimed that it was necessary to test a series of theories and solve the final mystery.

things to do.

However, in the engineering design, those dandelion seeds were designed with many strange functions, especially in the "visual experience" part. He forcibly gave some seeds the VR observation function, which is very unscientific.

Li Zheng’s explanation for this is——

This is part of the plan!

Considering that at this time, he was already the absolute leader in science, engineering, sociology, and medicine. He was already an unprecedented demon king who dominated all disciplines in history.

This requirement... the organization had no choice but to meet.

In the exhibition hall, the visiting group of junior high school students gradually moved towards the next demonstration point. However, the two junior high school girls at the end of the group could not help but look back from time to time.

"Wouldn't they be scolded for having that kind of hair in elementary school?"

"What's wrong with that hairstyle...Look carefully, it's so handsome..."

"Wait, you can't!"

"Hey... maybe... I'm really a high school student who skipped ten grades in a row."

"Isn't the probability too low?"

"But listening to him talk, it's really good to study..."

"But he doesn't look like he's studying well at all. Where's his haircut? Where's his glasses?"

"What if...if it's a high school student...it's okay if I ask for your contact information, right?"

"That's a crime too!!"

No matter how much they argued, the young man leaning by the window never moved at all.

Although he talks shitty words, he has a middle-of-the-road personality.

But he, indeed...

Very handsome!

"Ouch!"

An old but confident Northeastern accent said: "It's really you!"
