Germany, Hamburg, the night falls, the moonlight penetrates the clouds like filaments, and falls on the rebuilt Kassel Manor. This historic manor, after being baptized by the war, is now standing in the world with a brand-new attitude
, as if it were a silent declaration of past suffering.
In a study room with a simple decoration style in the manor, the dim light reflected the slightly weathered but still resolute face of an old man - he was none other than Hilbert Angers, the president of Kassel College and the secret secretary.
One of the most legendary dragon slayers in the party.
After the Summer Mourning Incident, the German mixed-race world declined for a time, and the secret party, which suffered heavy losses, moved its headquarters to Country M, which indirectly led to the defeat of the Second Reich in World War I.
However, because Angers' senatorial seat was directly inherited from the Cassel family, its rise has also led to the revival of the German mixed-race family group, and has become his most reliable and credible base, providing strong support here.
Angers was seen sitting in front of the dark wooden desk in the study room, his fingers gently stroking the laptop he had just closed.
The dim light on the screen gradually dimmed, but he was still thinking about the content on the "Mutual Aid Network" about cultivation assistance, immersed in Zhao Qing's article on the cultivation techniques that combined violent blood technology and spiritual alchemy, and felt
Looking at the growth in strength in the past few days.
Every night of practice was a challenge to the limits of the body and mind, but every time the morning light broke, Ange could feel the power surging in his body getting stronger, which made him think that time was not wasted, and even
I want to devote myself wholeheartedly to it no matter what.
"It's time to test the results of the past few days."
Angers stood up slowly and glanced at the neatly arranged ancient books and parchment scrolls on the bookshelf, finally landing on an exquisite cigar box. Havana No. 1, that was his favorite cigar, but at this moment, he
But he hesitated.
Ange stretched out his hand to take it, but stopped in mid-air. He remembered the strict requirements of practitioners for body cleanliness and the damage caused by smoke to the lungs and cardiovascular system. Inhaling one cigarette could make him sick for half an hour.
Efforts come to nothing. "That's all, on the road to spiritual practice, abstinence from desire comes first."
He sighed softly and flicked his fingers, and the cigar seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly rising into the air, spinning, and drawing a beautiful arc under the dim light.
At the same time, Ange also took a deep breath, closed his eyes suddenly and then opened them again. The golden pupils shone with the light of the spirit - "Time Zero"!
In this field, the movement of everything becomes extremely slow. The hands of the wall clock move slowly, and its changes are almost imperceptible. The swaying leaves outside the window and the dust flying under the street lamp in the distance all seem to be affected by invisible forces.
Restrained and lost its former agility.
However, for Angers, all this was like pressing the fast forward button. His movements became extremely fast, almost beyond the limits of human imagination. He gently explored the room with his right hand, and a dark golden
The folding knife has already appeared in the palm of my hand, drawing a zigzag path.
The cigar was accurately cut in the air, first into hundreds of segments, and then each segment was further divided until it turned into fine dust that was invisible to the naked eye, and finally dissipated invisible. The whole process took only the blink of an eye, but it showed
The breathtaking power of Time Zero.
This scene was faithfully recorded by the camera in the study, and was automatically uploaded to the Internet, becoming one of Zhao Qing's many research materials - try her best to record every time she uses time zero, that is
Zhao Qing’s additional conditions when he generously gave away high-level skills.
At the same time, Ange also showed a satisfied smile on his face. He clearly felt that after this period of practice, the time multiplier of Time Zero has indeed increased a lot, which means that he can have
A longer time advantage to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
"Dragon clan, how many secrets have you hidden?" But this joy did not last long. Angers murmured to himself, walked to the window, stared at the distant skyline, and looked at the bustling and peaceful scenery outside the window.
Hamburg night scene, a flash of worry in his eyes.
The Dragon Clan, this extraordinary race that once dominated the world, has initially been exposed to the sight of the governments of major powers.
Those senior leaders who hold the fate of the world may be sitting around a round table at this moment, discussing intensively how to deal with this unprecedented threat.
Do they realize what kind of disaster it will bring to the world once the Dragon Clan fully awakens? Can they really deal with this ancient and powerful threat rationally? Or will they be driven by fear and greed, causing unpredictable chaos?
With turmoil?
Thinking about this series of questions, Ange sighed secretly and shook his head deep in his heart. He originally had great confidence in the regular army of Wuchang and believed that their strength was enough to deal with any challenge. However, the recent intelligence obtained
Let him be disappointed.
"London, Ben Nevis...Valley of the Kings...Three Sisters, Mauna Loa..." At present, it seems that there are probably a large number of dragons lurking in the upper echelons of human society, and they may be using their...
Human identity secretly controls the direction of the world.
And recalling the disastrous defeat of the M Country Air Force and the Dragon Clan not long ago, the advanced fighter jets and missiles that the military was once proud of seemed so pale and powerless in front of the powerful power of the Dragon Knight.
This made him begin to wonder whether the secret party's understanding of the dragon race was too superficial and whether it underestimated the true strength of that ancient race. And the advanced military technology that humans rely on may not be able to be used as a weapon in this cross-race war.
The key to victory.
"I hope the situation will not continue to escalate..." Just as Angers was deep in thought, he suddenly remembered a conjecture mentioned in the "Twelve Pieces of Conferring Gods" - whenever he bathed in the dragon's blood after a fierce battle, he would be refined.
When you purify your bloodline, you may have a chance of gaining new spiritual speaking abilities.
"In that case..." Ange's eyes became firm, "Then, why don't I take the initiative to hunt down those dragons lurking in human society? Every battle may improve myself and unlock new powers.
opportunity!"
Next, he quickly opened the door of the bookshelf and took out a tube of dark red reagent from a hidden compartment. This was the false third-generation dragon blood stored in the Temple Society's library. It had only been stored for about ten days and was quite fresh.
, was sold by Zhao Qing at a low price to Angers and other people who hoped to use it to speed up their cultivation.
Shortly after the reagent was injected into Ange's body, a warm power surged out from his heart, and then turned into violent turbulent currents of elements, raging in his body, as if there were thousands of
Hundreds of giant dragons were roaring, tearing at every inch of his skin and every inch of his bones.
He gritted his teeth and endured this inhuman pain. At the same time, he used spiritual alchemy to continuously guide and channel this power, blending it with his own bloodline, inducing a strange spiritual vision that made Angers
His consciousness entered a trance-like state.
He seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space, and blurry pictures composed of countless tiny dragon and snake patterns appeared in front of his eyes. He saw the Cassel Manor in the past and present overlapping each other, forming a strange sense of interlaced time and space.
The former is a devastated ruin. In the early morning smoke, corpses pile up like mountains. Humans and Deadpool hugged and bit each other at the last moment of their lives, leaving strips of charred shadows and ashes on the ground. Only a broken human figure was left.
The corpse is still standing, holding the Atkan sword in the mist.
The latter is a reborn manor, showing a prosperous situation. The lawns and trees have been neatly trimmed. Modern radar antennas are hidden among the newly built towers. The remaining descendants of the Cassel family have also lived a better life.
A peaceful life away from the danger of dragon slaying heralds hope for the future.
Between the two, Angers seemed to be able to touch the veins of time, and felt an ever-changing, indescribable dividing line. It was the intersection of the past and the future, and it suddenly reflected in his heart, making him zero understanding of time.
understanding has reached a new level.
At this moment, an astonishing change suddenly woke him up. Angers found that his mastery of the time zero field had been greatly improved, especially in terms of the accuracy of the transition boundary of the language spirit field, and he successfully discovered the time zero field.
The potential for localized control!
Just as Zhao Qing has analyzed and speculated based on the video data released by Time Zero in recent days, the essence of Yanling Time Zero is probably to temporarily create a negative curvature alchemical space similar to a warp bubble.
, and "pardon" designated targets in the field, causing them to accelerate exponentially.
And when Angers is released through precise word spirit control, the two parts of an object are at different time flow rates, just like the time dilation near a black hole, which can cause the curvature of space and time at the boundary of the field to change drastically, forming an extreme
"Steep" spatiotemporal gradient.
According to the principle of general relativity, the uneven curvature of space-time will cause the geodesics of different parts of the object to separate, resulting in observable deformation effects of tangential compression and radial stretching that cannot be eliminated, that is, tidal effects.
When the difference in time flow velocity on both sides is equal, whenever the transition area of the domain boundary narrows to half of its original size, the corresponding tidal effect will increase to eight times, rising in inverse cubic proportion as the distance shortens;
As long as the change in the curvature of space-time at the dividing line is huge enough, the tidal stretching force it generates at the cross-section will stretch the space at a certain level and can tear almost anything apart. It can be called an indestructible giant.
Killer weapon!
Thinking of this, Ange's heart was filled with excitement and expectation. He couldn't wait to verify his conjecture. He was too lazy to find another suitable venue and immediately started a new attempt on the spot.
He stood up and walked to a corner of the study, where there was a golden bronze sculpture with smooth workmanship. It was a piece of recycled metal that Angers bought from a collection auction for more than 1.7 million U.S. dollars.
The product is as hard as the hardest alloy in the world.
With a slight wave of his finger, the power of Yanling Time Zero surged again, and an invisible realm instantly enveloped the bronze sculpture. In this realm, the space seemed to be distorted and elongated, making the upper and lower sides of the sculpture
Parts are under different time flow rates.
Under the influence of deliberately creating a fault in the flow of time, the seemingly solid statue was torn apart by an invisible force in an instant. It was broken into two pieces from the middle, and thousands of tiny pieces flew out.
of fragments.
This scene shocked Angers. He realized that he had mastered an unprecedented power - a power that could use time itself to destroy the enemy. This not only made up for his lack of attack power, but also made him face the enemy.
There is an extra chance of winning against the Dragon Clan.
…
At the same time, at the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, the night breeze was gentle and cool, and in a conference room deep in this magnificent building complex, the lights were soft and bright, and a group of three people
He opened the door and walked slowly inside.
The one who visited here at night was none other than the new veteran of the Secret Party, Elizabeth Laurent. She was wearing a custom-made dark suit, looking particularly capable and majestic. She found a seat and sat down elegantly, with two similar people standing next to her.
A subordinate wearing a formal suit and holding a folder.
Sitting opposite is Professor Andre Ross, a member of the Secret Party who has been engaged in scientific research here for a long time, and is also a renowned scholar in the field of particle physics. Professor Ding Zhaozhong leads the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) project.
important members of.
Professor Ross is about fifty years old, with slightly gray hair, but sharp eyes, revealing the depth and wisdom endowed by a long scientific research career. There are several reports and manuscript papers filled with formulas scattered on his desk. It is obvious that he is very interested in the upcoming work.
He was fully prepared for the conversation.
After the two subordinates came forward and placed a few new folders on the table, the door of the conference room was gently closed, cutting off all the noise from the outside world, leaving only the steady breathing of the four people in the room and the occasional sound of turning papers.
sound.
"Professor Ross, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with us." Elizabeth broke the silence first, and her opening remarks were concise and clear, directly getting to the point:
"I am personally deeply interested in the potential connection between the ancient theory of vitality and the concept of dark matter in modern physics, and hope to conduct a new detection experiment with the help of CERN's cutting-edge equipment, especially the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer in the AMS program.
.”
"Lady Elizabeth, I am really surprised that you visited CERN in person and brought such a unique cooperation proposal."
Noting that Elizabeth was wearing a simple silver ring on her finger that represented her family and her status as a senator, Professor Ross showed a solemn expression after browsing the contents of the document for a while, and his voice was gentle and powerful, revealing the importance he attached to this meeting:
"However, before we discuss it further, I would like to first understand what exactly you mean by 'vital energy theory'? And what connection do you think it has with modern physics concepts such as dark matter and the Higgs particle?
"
Elizabeth smiled slightly, pulled out a piece of information from the folder beside her, and handed it over: "This is a summary of the theory of vitality that we compiled based on a friend's research results. She tried to combine alchemy, philosophy and physics.
Analyze the subtle connection between vitality and dark matter from multiple angles."
"Simply put, Yuan Qi, as a core concept in ancient Chinese philosophy, is not just an abstract aura or vitality, but is also regarded by some practitioners as an energy form that can affect the material world. In modern physics, it is
Dark matter is a substance that we cannot directly observe, but its existence is inferred through its gravitational effect."
"In recent years, with the development of quantum physics and cosmology, we have gradually realized that there may be some deep connection between the two, that is, Yuan Qi may be a manifestation of dark matter at the microscopic level. Combined with the recent
The detection data accumulated over many years from the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP) have initially established a systematic theory."
Professor Ross pondered for a moment. As a member of the dragon-blood family inherited from ancient Greece, although he was not a student trained by Kassel College, he also knew a lot about alchemical theory and would not immediately think that this was ridiculous.
Joking.
"This is indeed a bold assumption."
I saw him flipping through the documents with bright eyes: "However, to verify such a conjecture, we need strong experimental evidence. You mentioned that you plan to use cutting-edge equipment such as AMS for detection. Can you explain the relevant experimental plan in detail?
"
"In the world of theoretical physics, there are countless new and thought-provoking ideas, many of which are more 'mysterious' than the vitality-dark matter theory. But if we decide to explore in depth, we must ensure that every step is based on solid science.
On a basic basis.”
"Physics is essentially a science based on experiments. Except for a few geniuses whose ideas can achieve major breakthroughs through experiments first, other theories have to be subject to progress at the experimental level. This is why I devote myself to experimental physics.
Original intention.”
"And those theories that cannot be verified or falsified are, most of the time, just empty talk and will not produce any valuable results - in comparison, the AMS project I am currently participating in is undoubtedly much more important.
Too much, you shouldn’t waste your time on meaningless research!”
"At this point, I hold the same view as you. For those brains that represent the top intelligence among humans, every time they should spend on the cutting edge, using the most advanced experimental equipment, so as to work more efficiently.
Obtain research results."
Elizabeth nodded and motioned to her accompanying subordinates to place two small pieces of dark metal on the table: "To show our sincerity in cooperation, we have brought over some black iron samples. This special magnetic material may significantly improve
Performance of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer."
Hearing this, Professor Ross reached out to take the dark iron sample and looked at it carefully. He first briefly tested the suction force between the two pieces of dark iron with his bare hands, and then used special tools. He couldn't help but show a shocked look on his face:
"This... this is indeed extraordinary! I have never seen such a high density of matter, which seems to far exceed any known element, including the heaviest osmium. And its magnetic force... is simply incredible, at least neodymium
Several times that of iron-boron permanent magnets, they are also distributed quite evenly and stably."
"There is no doubt that this kind of black iron is indeed an ideal material for use in the core components of magnetic spectrometers. It can greatly enhance the detection capabilities of AMS, giving us the opportunity to detect more microscopic particles that could not be captured before, and improve the efficiency of data collection.
Precision and efficiency!”
He murmured to himself, a strange light burst out from his eyes, and he kept raising his head and asking: "Is it Master Flamel's new alchemical creation? What is the cost? Is there a way to mass-produce it? How much quantity can it provide? Yes
Is there no way to further improve the magnetism?”
"Commercial secrets, no comment... Unless Xuantie is put into application in the AMS project and verifies the theory of vitality that I am interested in." Elizabeth smiled slightly: "In addition, we also have feasible methods for detecting the vitality of heaven and earth.
A highly reliable experimental plan.”
"To be specific, the AMS magnetic spectrometer is placed in a deep underground tunnel, and its ability to capture extremely high-energy particles is used to detect in real time a vitality reaction called 'Danxiao', and the collected and analyzed period
Possible abnormal particle signals."
"What is 'Danxiao' you are talking about? Is it the newly named high-level word spirit? I haven't paid attention to the progress of modern alchemy and word spirit for a long time, so why have so many oriental terms been added?" Professor Ross pondered for a moment,
Holding Xuan Tie tightly in his hand, he continued to ask:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "For Xuan Tie's sake, it is not impossible for the project team to pass the proposal and take the time to carry out such an experiment. However, although I personally have a strong willingness to cooperate,
Others also need to be convinced, especially academics who are unaware of the other side of the world."
"In addition, I have to remind you that our project team has overturned one theory after another over the years. No theory is necessarily correct and will definitely produce results, so don't have high expectations for this.
.”
Both parties present here are well aware that due to the accidental explosion of the Columbia space shuttle when it re-entered the atmosphere in 2003, China's space program was in trouble, and the original plan to use the space shuttle to transport AMS-02 to space in 2005 was cancelled.
This makes the AMS team currently in a relatively idle period, mainly staying in front of the computer every day, sorting and analyzing the data collected by AMS-01 in the past, and having enough time and resources to try new detection plans.
Although the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer was originally designed to detect the particle components in cosmic rays, to specifically observe positrons and negative electrons, positive and negative protons and nucleons under high-energy radiation in space, and to explore the mysteries of dark matter and antimatter, it can also be used on the ground.
research on.
"'Danxiao' is a high-energy vitality reaction released by high-level practitioners through special means. It is a yin-yang kink formed by two counter-circulating true fire and true water fluids entangled with an outer mesh structure, similar to ball lightning, but
The energy is more concentrated and complex.”
Elizabeth answered the other party's question, asked her subordinates to take out a communication device, and dialed a video call with someone else. The screen lit up, and a woman in a gorgeous dress appeared on the screen: "Everyone, what's next?
