“How’s the memory chip progressing?”
After the meeting, Tan Yan was transferred from the front line to the research department, he asked with concern.
“With the help of Tian Shen II, the nano-recognition function has matured, but we haven’t been able to solve the memory chip.” Qiao Zhixue replied.
“You should have gotten all the information when you took Tian Shen II to the international exchange before.” Tan Yan recalled.
This is also the reason why since then, Minister Yu has been delaying the United States and didn’t bring their one hundred people into the ‘void’, after all, the memory chip has already been obtained. At present, the country is not ready, just cultivating new superpowers already almost exhausted Liang Xian and others, there is really no time to bring a hundred people from abroad.
“It’s not just a matter of having the information,” Qiao Zhixue knew that Tan Yan didn’t know much, so he explained, “This technology is also a technology that is being tackled abroad and it’s still incomplete. And now the most important thing is not technology, but materials and energy.”
Tian Shen II emerged to help Uncle Qiao explain: “Our ideal memory chip is that the supernatural being injects power into the chip, and the chip will automatically remember this power. At this point, as long as the energy is sufficient, it can be executed through buttons or other stress methods. What we want to replicate the most at present are two abilities, one is your protective ability, your protective cover can block the majority of disasters. We don’t need to hold on for too long, even if we can delay for ten minutes, we can save countless lives; The second is the power to travel through space, at present, no one can do it except you and Liang Xian, then we can only convert this ability into mechanical power, which also requires the use of memory chips.
And now the biggest problem is, we calculated the energy of your protective cover and came to an astonishing conclusion, the energy that can protect just one person is equivalent to a 1-ton nuclear bomb. If memory chips were made from materials that exist on Earth, each child who paid for the chip would have to carry two tons of steel on their backs…”
This is simply impossible to achieve.
“Then what should I do?” Even if he recalled the past memories, Tan Yan is still not very good at studying. The world he lives in seems to be more accustomed to acting on instinct than theory.
“In fact, you just need to rest,” Qiao Zhixue said, “I suggested to Minister Yu to let you step down, your body has reached its limit, if you continue, at the fastest one month, at the slowest three months, you will be emptied of energy and die.”
Tan Yan was silent, he actually also gradually felt that his strength was gradually weakening.
“So Minister Yu let you choose whether to replace the body, if you accept, it doesn’t matter if you continue to perform missions on the front line, but you refuse. We can’t let you push yourself, take a break. At least sleep well every night, don’t overdraw your vitality.”
“Is it three months…” Tan Yan murmured, “There’s so little time left, not even enough time for my retirement.”
“Speaking of retirement time…” Qiao Zhixue retrieved the electronically scanned copy of Tan Yan’s file, “You… no, in the past, Tan Yan actually changed his age in order to join the army, and his date of birth in the file doesn’t match that on his ID card. The retirement date on the file is December 31, 2019, and on ID card is 2020. According to the current regulations, you should take the file time as the standard, that is, you will retire in December this year, and there are only three months left.”
Tan Yan’s hand trembled slightly: “Is it that fast?”
Qiao Zhixue grabbed his hand: “When did this unnatural tremor start? Can you control it yourself?”
Tan Yan looked at him and was silent for a long time before saying: “Eliminate the Evil Consciousness, after returning from the world of Tian Shen II, sometimes it will shake.”
“The nervous system is no longer controlled by the brain,” Qiao Zhixue sighed, “Your consciousness’s control over the body is gradually weakening, which means that you cannot keep this body alive for too long.”
The person who has died, forced to stay in the world for forty-one years, when there is a new successor and the world no longer needs him so urgently, he will slowly disappear.
Tan Yan didn’t panic about his own death, he just asked: “Can we still catch up with memory chip production?”
Qiao Zhixue didn’t answer his question directly: “You have said that you want to persevere until retirement, I think it is a limitation that you or the former Tan Yan set for yourself. We all know that once a person has a reasonable goal, no matter how difficult it is, they can persevere to the end. But many people can no longer create the glory they once achieved after their goals are achieved. This is self-restriction, relying on restrictions to increase strength, but also impossible to break through the restrictions.
Retirement time is your limit, three months, I will strive to develop the chip within these three months.”
“I will do my best to cooperate with you, time is running out.” Tan Yan said.
“You just need to sleep,” Qiao Zhixue pointed to a sleeping cabin in the laboratory, “Sleep peacefully here.”
Tan Yan: “…”
No matter how you look at this sleeping cabin, it doesn’t look like you can sleep in it.
“What’s this?” he asked.
“The scanning cabin is made by using nanotechnology, memory chip technology, and borrowing a part of the main body of the Tian Shen II, it has just been made, and you are the first to try it out.”
“Part of Tian Shen II’s main body?” Tan Yan looked at the small computer of Tian Shen II.
“Yes, I’m disabled now,” Tian Shen II said, “The separation of the body, that can probably carry a processor, is equivalent to the loss of a pair of arms for human beings, and now I am a disabled child.”
The image on his computer is of a seven-year-old child who has lost his hands and is crying sadly.
“Is it voluntary?” Tan Yan asked, he promised to protect Tian Shen II.
“It’s on loan,” Tian Shen II quickly cheered up, “The Tian Shen I is designed based on Qiao Zhixue in the false image of Old Professor Qiao, and I believe in Qiao Zhixue. He promised to return it with a supercomputer to me soon after he finished borrowing it, with this computer, I can become as powerful as Tian Shen I.”
The computer of Tian Shen II was made by Liang Xian using special metals from meteorites from other worlds, this element doesn’t exist on Earth, Qiao Zhixue confidently made a promise to Tian Shen II, what kind of calculations did Tian Shen II do before agreeing to him?
“Why are you so sure?” Tan Yan asked.
“Because of Qiao Zhixue’s ability, he only told me, he claimed to have no awakening qualifications outside.” Tian Shen II shines with a proud light.
“What kind of ability makes you so bold?”
Qiao Zhixue smiled, and he stretched out his hand: “I think I should have a nail in the palm of my hand, its composition is steel, and the proportion of elements is…”
Following his description, a nail really appeared on Qiao Zhixue’s hand, it was not made of other materials like Liang Xian’s, but appeared out of thin air.
Tan Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Qiao Zhixue said: “I call this ability the materialization of rational imagination, which means that as long as my imagination conforms to the laws of the existing world, then it can be materialized. The laws of this world come from human beings’ understanding of the world, that is to say, I cannot manifest things that humans have not created or discovered. For example, if I want a memory bread in Doraemon, it is impossible.
In addition, I can’t visualize living beings.”
“After calculation, I think Qiao Zhixue can materialize the metals in our world, “Tian Shen II replied, “I gave him the information on the metal, and he tried but couldn’t do it. There must be some decisive things missing, so I suggested that Professor Qiao make a scanning cabin, in order to scan and analyze your consciousness.”
“The meteorites in the world of Tian Shen II are very miraculous, but unfortunately things from other worlds can’t be brought back to the real world, we can’t transport them through the ‘void’. In fact, once this metal is available, the material problem can be easily solved. Tian Shen II’s current exploration of metals is just the beginning, their data only contains the usage and the method of eliminating radiation, but there is no atomic structure and molecular formula, not to mention the name of the element. This kind of metal doesn’t exist in the real world, and I don’t know its composition, this is an unreasonable imagination, and I can’t materialize it.
I can materialize the substances that exist in the real world and those which I know the structure of, as long as one of the two conditions is met, if I understand the material structure, it will be easier to materialize.”
“Then what can scanning my consciousness do?” Tan Yan doesn’t understand, he doesn’t understand these things either.
“I’m also just an attempt, hoping your presence can rationalize this metal.” Qiao Zhixue said, “You have seen the metal with your own eyes, and I think it must have left an impression in your mind, I’ll use this impression to deepen the rationalization, only you and Liang Xian can do it.”
However, Liang Xian is now the captain of the supernatural team, so he has no time to accompany Qiao Zhixue to do this kind of experiment.
Tan Yan expressed his understanding, he took off his clothes and lay down in the scanning cabin, letting Qiao Zhixue toss about casually.
Don’t know if it’s related to the environment, but he felt a burst of drowsiness as soon as he entered.
So sleepy, it seemed that he had never been so sleepy in his life.
Tan Yan closed his eyes quietly, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.
Qiao Zhixue turned on the scanner, the operating computer in the scanning cabin was Tian Shen II, but Qiao Zhixue helped Tian Shen II connect an external display screen, one person and one computer nervously looked at the image displayed by the scanner.
“Sleep brings the subconscious mind to the surface temporarily, human subconscious mind is incredibly powerful and is the foundation of consciousness. If Tan Yan’s consciousness is an island on the sea, then his subconscious is the sea.” Qiao Zhixue said to Tian Shen II, “The principle of many things Tan Yan said that he doesn’t know, but he can do instinctively, is actually wrong. He has to understand the principle before he can do it, but the principle doesn’t exist in his consciousness, but his subconsciousness. The subconscious mind doesn’t usually emerge, only occasionally manifested in consciousness through flashes of inspiration or dreams. Tan Yan’s subconscious mind is a treasure, the pinnacle of human evolution in the entire universe, I think there must be information about meteorites in his mind.”
Tian Shen II said: “Give him the stimulation of other world metal before going to bed, he will have a great possibility to think about it unconsciously in his sleep, and his subconscious will give it back in his dream. He saw the Mesmerizing Light in my world, wore protective clothing, touched the chip of Tian Shen I, and before returning to the real world, he touched a meteorite that fell on the ground, although he was wearing protective clothing, he had an ‘impression’ of the other world metal.”
Qiao Zhixue: “If his subconscious mind can read and discover more information, then the possibility of metal rationalization will increase.”
