Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Opening a New Era in Human Science

Wang Zhengcao continued: "The first time I got the fragment, it took a very long time to disassemble the fragment. I have obtained some basic concepts from the fragment, and I started to do research work. However, that fragment cannot meet my needs, just like people seven hundred years ago could not imitate a TV set from a part of it!" I said, "So, you want to get a second piece?" Wang Zhengcao said: "Yes, the second film gave me great help and made me have initial success!" I shook my head: "Now what you have created is not a cornucopia, but a scattered treasure basin."

Wang Zhengcao said angrily, "What do you mean?" I said: "You said it yourself. Once you operate, the electricity you consume can buy you seventeen or eight taels of platinum, but how much do you get?" Wang Zhengcao immediately said: "I haven't succeeded in my research yet. When I succeed, think about it. I can get whatever I want. Any precious metal will come in an endless stream. What kind of situation will that be?" My heart was pounding, and I thought, Wow, what a scene! Wang Zhengcao sighed: "Give me a few more pieces of the cornucopia, or give me another piece, and I can refer to it to solve the problem!"

I looked at him, Wang Zhengcao raised his voice, he was almost screaming, he said: "Do you know? As long as there is one more piece, I can make a cornucopia. Put your platinum ring down, and it will take less than five minutes." , it can become thousands, tens of thousands, and any metal can be copied, do you understand?" After he called out, he put his hands on my shoulders and shook them vigorously. I didn't stop him, because a person should be so excited to make such a discovery! I tried my best to calm myself down, and I quickly summed up the whole thing in my mind.

After a preliminary induction, I have come to the following conclusions: (1) Shen Wansan's cornucopia is a "three-dimensional replicator" from outer space. I don't know how many times higher than the people on earth. (2) The fragments that Wang Zhengcao and I got were the fragments of the "stereo duplicating machine" that was smashed by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. (3) The principle of the three-dimensional duplicator to copy any metal object is to use endless free electrons to change their combination and arrangement, making them into various metal elements. (4) With his outstanding scientific skills, Wang Zhengcao obtained the knowledge of making a "three-dimensional duplicator" from the two fragments, and he has achieved initial success.

(5) He also needs the fragments of the cornucopia as a reference, then he can make a perfect and large "cornucopia". I thought about these points, Wang Zhengcao no longer shook my body, he just fixed my eyes on me with a fanatical gaze.I smiled wryly: "What's the use of watching me? I can't get another piece like that." Wang Zhengcao's answer was surprisingly fast, he said: "You can, if you can get the second piece, you will definitely be able to get the third piece." I shook my head and didn't say anything, because I found that Wang Zhengcao's emotions were in such a frenzy that he couldn't accept any reasonable explanation at all, that is to say, he was a little unreasonable.

Sure enough, he immediately said: "Go and think of a way, I will continue to study it, we cooperate, think about it, if we succeed, if we succeed!" He said it twice, and then took a deep breath. He didn't go down, in fact, it's really hard to go down, because if he succeeded, it would be unimaginable, and if he made his success public, everyone could start with gold. house, with platinum plates to decorate the walls.If he succeeds, the "gold standard" will no longer exist at all, and gold is cheaper than clay. It is hard to imagine what kind of changes it will cause.

And if he succeeds and does not disclose his secrets, then he will naturally be another Shen Wansan. He can obtain more gold than the US national treasury in one day; The richest man in the world, even the sheikh of Kuwait, is far behind.The Sheik had nothing more than oil, and he could have any metal, he could even reproduce uranium in large quantities. Wang Zhengcao still looked at me: "It's all up to you, you go find a way, I promise, after I succeed, the two of us will share the benefits equally." I sighed. At that time, my mind was still in a mess. I was thinking back to when I talked to Shi Wentong about the fragments of the cornucopia. Shi Wentong once told me that at that time, their ancestors, the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, excavated as many as four fragments.

And now we have got two pieces, that is to say, in theory, there are at least two more pieces, whose whereabouts are unknown. Naturally, it is extremely difficult to obtain those two pieces, but difficulty does not mean that it is impossible. And, for such a great achievement, things seemed to be worth the effort, even if it were difficult. I thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll try again!" Wang Zhengcao's expression was as if he had obtained the third fragment, and he jumped up happily: "As long as you are willing to look for it, you will definitely find it, you will definitely find it!"

When he talked about this, he paused, and his expression became extremely serious again: "Remember, you must never tell anyone about my invention, and you must not tell anyone." I was stunned for a while: "I can promise you not to tell others, but my wife has been involved in this matter from beginning to end. After I go back, I have to tell her what will happen." Wang Zhengcao cried out, "No, no woman can keep a secret." I immediately said: "You are mistaken, she can definitely keep a secret!" Wang Zhengcao turned around for a long while before reluctantly said: "Okay, but you have to know that if our secret is spread out, then my research will inevitably be interfered with in various ways, which will be of no benefit to you or me. That's why I'm keeping it a secret."

I nodded and said, "Of course I understand." Wang Zhengcao rubbed his hands: "In order to strengthen your confidence, do you want me to operate it again and show you?" I was very interested, and hurriedly said: "In order to strengthen my confidence, you'd better let me operate it again, and let you guide and explain!" Wang Zhengcao said, "Okay." I took out a key, set it on the dimpled metal plate, and covered the flat metal plate. Wang Zhengcao guided me, pressed many buttons, and said: "During the whole operation process, the metal product placed inside is just a catalyst. The free electrons that come in are combined according to the electronic arrangement of this metal."

As he said, I pressed all kinds of buttons and watched several electronic instruments taller than a person flashing various lights, and said: "Unfortunately, what is copied now is just some powder. .” I just said this by accident, but I never expected that my words would greatly hurt Wang Zhengcao's self-esteem, and he blushed immediately: "Don't underestimate some powder, the Curies and his wife were The radium extracted from a ton of coking coal is nothing more than traces on the bottom of a porcelain dish, but that's how radium was discovered." After hearing his words, my heart suddenly moved, and I hurriedly said: "Dr. Wang, do you know? Even if your research work does not develop further, you can still be said to be successful." Wang Zhengcao asked in astonishment, "What do you mean?" I said: "Now, this stereo duplicator of yours can duplicate a small amount of powder every time, and use it to duplicate platinum. Naturally, it will lose money because it consumes a lot of electricity, but if you think about it , if it is exploited to replicate precious metals..." Wang Zhengcao said, "For example, radium." I said: "Yes, every time, if you can get a little bit of radium powder, it is already a great achievement!" I thought my words would definitely make Wang Zhengcao very excited, but after hearing my words, Wang Zhengcao showed a look of disdain, and let out a "hum" sneer from his nose: "Why do you So easy to satisfy? Some powder, what is it? I want complete success!" When I heard him say that, I said no more, and finally pulled down the red lever, and then, after another moment, pulled the lever back and lifted the metal plate. Last time, I had to use a magnifying glass to see the powder, but this time, because I paid attention in advance, I could see the powder immediately. This time, it was copper powder. Wang Zhengcao used the soft brush to sweep the powder together and put it in front of me. Honestly, I can't help but admit that he has created an amazing stereocopier.I took a breath and said, "Okay, I'll go find the cornucopia fragments again, wish us success!" Wang Zhengcao and I shook hands tightly, and I said goodbye. The cold wind outside is also so bitter, but I don't feel cold at all. I am so excited that I completely forget about the cold. If it is not dawn, I will definitely go to see Shi Wentong immediately. I went home first, and told Bai Su about the situation when I saw Wang Zhengcao. She didn't believe it at first, and kept yawning during my narration, but she couldn't answer my few questions. . I asked her: "You don't believe there is such a thing as a three-dimensional duplicating machine, then, can you explain what is going on with Shen Wansan's cornucopia? Why is it full of things once you put them down?" The wife raised her eyebrows: "That may be a magic weapon." I immediately said: "The so-called treasures are actually scientific products. Nazha's Fenghuolun is today's robotic bicycle, clairvoyance is a TV, and palm mines are similar to hand grenades. Therefore, the cornucopia is a three-dimensional duplicator. doubt." His wife smiled: "I won't argue with you, but first of all, I have to be sure that Shen Wansan has a cornucopia. Is this record reliable?" I also laughed: "Now it is no longer a question of whether the records are reliable or not. In fact, in the eyes of experts, the fragments we obtained can be seen at a glance as extremely sophisticated electronic instruments." Still not interested, she yawned again: "Didn't I already say that? It's like a fragment of a spaceship." I couldn't help being speechless, because, in fact, she had already said that. With such an excited expression, I couldn't continue to sleep, and I read many records about Shen Wansan in the study, and found that the cornucopia could not be anything other than a "three-dimensional duplicator" . Wang Zhengcao's discovery is so great that it can be said to have opened a new era of human science.Because until now, human science can only stay at the stage of "plane" in terms of "reappearance", or in other words, it only stays at the stage of "virtual image", without substance. Photos are flat, TVs are flat, and there are so-called "three-dimensional movies", but that is just a visual illusion caused by light.But Wang Zhengcao opened a new era, he created a three-dimensional space and improved another space. Stereoscopic duplicating machine, from the stereoscopic duplicating machine, there may be a stereoscopic TV in the future, and if the stereoscopic duplicating machine is improved, it can duplicate all objects, then, as long as a person builds a car, within a day, the One hundred thousand units can be copied, all other machines will be eliminated, and the endless ionized electrons will become an inexhaustible wealth for human beings. At that time, people can really have what they want. No more disputes and troubles. I kept thinking blankly, doing "daydreaming", and when I woke up suddenly, the sky was already bright. Because of the excitement, I didn't feel tired at all, so I ate something in a hurry and went to see Shi Wentong. I didn't know that Shi Wentong had moved out until I arrived at his original residence. Fortunately, his neighbor had his address, so I looked for it again.Shi Wentong was overjoyed when he saw me. He said, "I have opened a small shop with the money you gave me." I said: "That's good. Now, I still want a piece of the cornucopia. Do you have a solution?" Shi Wentong was stunned for a while: "I still want one piece? According to my grandfather, four pieces of that thing have been excavated, but the whereabouts of the other two pieces have long been lost. Where can I find them?" I knew that Shi Wentong would answer me like that, so I was not very disappointed. I just said: "Then, try to pay attention, and let me know as soon as you have any news." Shi Wentong nodded again and again: "What's the use of that thing?" Naturally, it was inconvenient for me to tell him the truth, so I could only vaguely say: "That's an antique, very valuable." Shi Wentong frowned: "Okay, let me think of a way to find those two as much as possible among the fellow villagers. Personal whereabouts, I know that one of them is surnamed Xiao and the other is surnamed Yang, maybe they are still in Nanjing, or maybe their descendants have also come here." Hearing what Shi Wentong said, it seemed that the matter was not hopeless, so I signed another check to him as a deposit. Shi Wentong was honest, but he refused. If there is any news, please let me know immediately.I went to Wang Zhengcao again and told him Shi Wentong's words. Wang Zhengcao was very happy, and he said: "It would be best to find those two pieces together. Then I can make the stereoscopic duplicator more perfect." One day, I was in the laboratory with him, listening to him explain many complicated theories and the problems that still existed in his stereoscopic duplicator.I promised Wang Zhengcao that as soon as I got news, I would tell him immediately, and I said goodbye to him. After that day, I didn't meet Wang Zhengcao again, because I was afraid of disturbing his research work, but we often talked on the phone. Wang Zhengcao had no sense of time. Whenever he thought of looking for me, he would take it. Get up on the phone, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes in the early morning. And he called me, mostly to urge me to hurry up and find the pieces of the cornucopia.I made him laugh and cry, because this is definitely not something that can achieve the goal just because of being anxious. I also went to urge Shi Wentong as usual, but Shi Wentong had no clue at all. And when I asked Wang Zhengcao on the phone whether his research work was progressing, his answer was always "no", and his tone seemed very frustrated.And getting more and more frustrated. A month later, the weather was getting warmer, and Shi Wentong came to my house suddenly, and he said happily: "Mr. Wei, finally lived up to the trust, and there is a whereabouts!" I jumped up with joy: "Found it?" Shi Wentong hurriedly said: "I just heard people say that someone has seen one of them, and it was in the house of that surname Yang!" I hurriedly asked, "Where does the person surnamed Yang live?" Shi Wentong smiled wryly: "The person I saw was more than ten years ago. At that time, the surname Yang lived in Nanjing. I went to inquire again, and the surname Yang was dead. His son seems to be I don't live in Nanjing." When I heard that Yang lived in Nanjing, I was already half-shocked, not to mention that Yang was dead, and his son was not in Nanjing either. I was stunned and couldn't make a sound, Shi Wen said: "There is really no other way, the person surnamed Xiao can't find out his whereabouts at all, I know that the person surnamed Yang is a rich family, their big house is very famous in Nanjing, If you go to his big house and look for it, there may be some hope." I smiled wryly, "To Nanjing?" Shi Wentong also smiled wryly, and I patted his shoulder: "No matter what, I thank you." After sending Shi Wentong away, I thought about it for a while, and then went to Wang Zhengcao again. When I saw him, I was shocked. He was horribly haggard. If I can't find another shard, I might go crazy!" I told him Shi Wentong's words, he listened blankly, and after a while, he said: "That's right!" I don't know what "it's like that" means. I want to tell him that even if someone goes to Nanjing, it is hopeless, because the changes in the past ten years are so great, who will keep a piece of it? Something useless?But I didn't say it. Instead, I said: "Dr. Wang, if you concentrate your research work on scientifically advanced countries, you may achieve something soon." But Wang Zhengcao got angry and shouted: "Nonsense, I will never make it public, you go!" He issued an order to evict the guest, and I naturally had no way to stay any longer, so I had to leave.The next day, I called him, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered, I put down the phone and didn't care.On the third day I called him again, but no one answered. I stayed for a while, sure something had happened, I decided to go see him, and when I arrived at his residence, I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to answer the door, so I went in by knocking. Five minutes after I knocked on the door, I was sure no one was in the room.In the underground lab, the electronics were still there, but the dimpled metal plate was missing, apparently dismantled. I yelled loudly, but no one answered me, and I couldn't find out his whereabouts from other people at all, because he lived alone and had no contact with the outside world at all. Wang Zhengcao is missing! On the third day after he disappeared, I suddenly remembered Wang Zhengcao’s strange expression when he heard me say that the old house surnamed Yang was in Nanjing. I immediately understood where he had gone. He went to Nanjing to find the other man. A shard of a cornucopia gone! When I figured this out, I couldn't help but smile wryly. I naturally hoped that he could come back, but for a scientist like him, after he has gone, the possibility of coming back is really too small. After half a year, there was still no news of Wang Zhengcao, and I had a chance to take a group of scientists to see Wang Zhengcao's laboratory when they were having a meeting here, but no one could tell what the use of those instruments was. of. And when I mentioned the "stereoscopic duplicator" and the cornucopia, all the scientists were laughing up and down, completely treating my words as sleepwalking. Alas, I found that a great scientist who can change human civilization must have rich imagination!
