THE ARK OF CONSCIOUSNESS

"Ahai, people are really too small when they face the stars."

Tibet ali astronomical observatory, lofty rolling snow mountains, a vast plain, and 5100 meters of altitude plateau, ali is the world's astronomy enthusiasts dream of stargazing holy land.

Xu Wen lying in an open space, intoxicated looking at the dome of the starry sky, Ali worthy of the "dark night star" reputation, deep and far away as amber gem of the gorgeous night sky, blooming with a blazing fire, as an arc of beautiful orbit, dragging through the body of the brilliant beam, radiant to breathtaking.

Xu Wen raised his hand, as if the sky is full of stars within reach, but they are a stone's throw away from each other, which is a distance that is difficult to reach in his lifetime, the dreamy starry sky light makes Xu Wen can not help but be gloomy.

"Instead of you lying on the ground right now moaning about nothing, why don't you come and help me assemble the observation mirror?"

The thick lenses could not stop Hai from rolling his eyes, they are the largest astronomical observation center researchers in China, a year ago planned this trip to Ali, for this reason did not hesitate to infiltrate the observatory, temporarily borrowed the "McHab" astronomical observation mirror.

In 2150, quantum mechanics in the double-slit interference experimental phenomenon has made a breakthrough, people initially mastered the probability wave photon transmission technology, "quantum state" storage technology was born, and was used in astronomical observation instruments, and "McHub" is the latest quantum observation instrument is the latest quantum observation instrument.

For some reason, McHubble has been banned from use by the Space Defense League.

But as a purely astronomical researcher, it is simply unbearable that such advanced equipment is abandoned in the corner to eat dust.

Ahai stared at the burning campfire beside him and took a deep breath, he had to be on guard against sudden fires that could burn the flammable material of his clothes.

"I want to put out this fire."

A Hai took a deep breath, he really can't understand Xu Wenkou Romantic ancient romance, this era has created a suitable portable heat source that maintains a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, can maintain four square meters around, a continuous supply of heat for a month, there is no need to light this campfire that makes him feel bad.

"No, Hai, carefully feel this campfire, you will feel a different kind of emotion, in the early stages of human social development, and even the ape era, there has been a rough knowledge of fire, such as this fire in front of us, when it appeared a few sporadic embers, followed by slow burning, only now this flame, imagine the countless ancestors, whether it is also with us Like us, the same fire was lit in the middle of the historical time and space belonging to them, it crossed the long river of history and time, just like this starry sky we see now, they are from hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of years ago, the same starry light reflected in our sight."

At some point, Xu Wen had picked up the corner frame on the ground and set up the observation base next to the campfire, the whole observation mirror is about 1.5 meters above the ground, the mirror barrel is 2.3 meters long, the observation mirror barrel is connected to the main mirror barrel at 30 centimeters, the main mirror barrel uses a mini version of the radio telescope, the secondary mirror barrel is a radio spectrum analyzer and an optical imaging integrated device.

Xu Wen completed the assembly, pointing to the campfire and looking at Ahai, his eyes shining with the sacred light of faith and ideals.

"Leave it, my dear Davari's, imagine we are lost in the starry sky at this moment, only this campfire you are familiar with burns, it is the lighthouse to guide you home, in addition, the mirror I have already assembled for you."

"Unfortunately, the lighthouse you think is not difficult to burn in the vacuum, it can not guide me."

A Hai held his forehead and sighed long, staring at Xu Wen like an idiot, he finally understood why Professor Li once threw Xu Wen out of the observation center, this kind of non-human brain structure was indeed not something ordinary people could endure.

A Hai suddenly some regret and Xu Wen planned this trip to Ali, the thought of Professor Li noticed the "McHab" after the loss of the scene, he was a little scared, take a deep breath, A Hai from the backpack with two mirror barrel, and "quantum U disk The "quantum flash drive" storage device. A black and red chip the size of a fingernail cap, lying quietly flat in a cylinder of metal fluid storage fluid.

"Quantum U disk", is quantum mechanics in the cutting-edge industrial chip specific presentation, in the small volume of the chip, stored trillions of probability wave photons, originally photons can not be stored for a long time in it, but in a certain Mars landing, inadvertently found this special metal fluid, so as to achieve a long time to retain The purpose of the "quantum USB drive".

"Ready?" Xu Wen slowly opened the storage recess of "McHab" and looked at Ahai.

At this moment, Xu Wen is more like asking himself.

Is ready to withstand the serious consequences of activating "McHab".

As soon as this chip is inserted into the "McHab" telescope, it will instantly build a connection with astronomical observation instruments all over the world, and astronomical observation stations in Europe, North America, the poles, and even the moon will resonate with "McHab" at the same time. The "quantum entangled state" will allow all the astronomical observatories built by mankind to serve "McHub" at the same time, analyzing the radio spectrum therein and presenting a starry sky observation image beyond everything!

After two hours, all the observation centers will receive the special imaging report of the quantum entanglement state, and the observers Xu Wen and Hai will follow and report to the relevant departments, and Professor Li will also get the news that "McHub" has left the observatory.

They will be taken away from the Ari Observatory at the first opportunity and will probably be questioned and sanctioned by the Space Defense League.

As Xu Wen explained in the initial planning of the operation, this was a unique adventure, a reckless attempt for faith and ideals, and they would bear unimaginable consequences in exchange for two hours of dialogue with the stars!

"Are you ready?"

In Xu Wen's mind, a voice suddenly emerged.

"What?!"

Xu Wen's soul trembled at this moment, he looked up sharply to the starry sky, the dome rotated above his head, countless stars flashed with dazzling light, the Milky Way blazing and dazzling nebulae seemed to have a soul in Xu Wen's world, the ancient starry sky gave Xu Wen a true response at this moment!

"Is that you asking me?" Xu Wen cried out loudly, above the empty plateau, like a devout believer looking up at the starry sky.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

Xu Wen could not use words to describe his mood at this moment, he was the most faithful believer in the stars, he could really feel the information received from the subconscious, it was an alternative way of transmitting information, like a fragment of genetic information stored in the human DNA sequence, Xu Wen understood that the original abstract dialogue with the stars ended at this moment, he was about to talk to the stars in an incomparably special way!

"Xu Wen!"

A Hai's eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension, he was a real astronomer, but only a worker, in his eyes, the starry sky was composed of different stars with a balanced distribution of galaxies, he studied countless stars and analyzed the mysteries of the universe, he possessed the same enthusiasm and love for the stars as Xu Wen, but at this moment, A Hai revealed confusion for the first time.

He did not understand the starry sky in Xu Wen's vision!

"Do you know, Hai? ...... starry sky just responded to me, this starry sky is not dead, he ...... he is alive!"

Xu Wen excited hands dancing, even some incoherent, his pupils in this moment as if the stars above the sky dazzling, the ancestors of the East had left countless myths and legends, symbolizing the romance and thinking of the ancients of heaven and earth, the Western "Bible" records God, ancient Rome, ancient Babylon, these ancient civilizations that once disappeared in the long river of time, in the remains and documents unearthed today, also The flame of thought never goes out, and people in every era have thought about "whether God exists".

Xu Wen stared at the starry sky, perhaps he had found the ultimate answer at this moment, when people ask "God, why", they do not look down at the land, but up at the sky.

Opened his arms, the cold wind through the gap between Xu Wen's body, he could not use words to describe the mood at this moment, the distant end of the snowy mountains, the highest point of the Himalayas, that once symbolized the limits of human beings on top of the mountain, the passage of the suspended train pipeline across the sky above Ali, the periphery of the pipeline is built with starlight panels, collecting the star wave particles overhead a million years ago, frozen snow covered the snowy mountains, with the starlight panels every time Reaching the extreme of light saturation, also blossomed into a holy of its own.

Campfire quietly burning, Xu Wen quiet breath listening, he just shouted does not coalesce into a bundle of sound waves, but as if water waves spread over the entire plateau, fortunately some of the sound wave band close to the snow mountain, so much so that the frozen snow layer on the snow crystals appeared a slight loosening, if the human pupil can have the ability to observe the state of microscopic particles, will certainly marvel at the next microscopic particles between the bizarre state.

The sonic particles that touched the snow mountain formed a subtle resonance with the light particles of the star at this moment, and there was an articulation of the wave frequencies of the two stateless states, and this entanglement was different from the quantum entangled state of ordinary particles, but the bonding between the two particles, which returned along the original path of the surging cold wind through the counter-vibration of the frozen snow particles.

"From the transformation of the Earth from stardust into the planet it is today, to the coincidence-filled appearance of humans on Earth, when we look at what this star has experienced, it is unimaginable yet breathtaking."

Xu Wen closed his eyes and felt the land under his feet and the wonderful starry sky overhead, he suddenly resounded with a new model of quantum stellar states, namely stellar consciousness, once proposed by Professor Li at the World Astronomy Symposium, but at that time Xu Wen could not understand the strange conception of stellar consciousness, but just a moment ago, he had a new understanding of this theory.

"Hai, Professor Li is perhaps the greatest astronomer of this era."

Xu Wen's peculiar leap of thinking once again left A Hai at a loss, crossing from the exploration of life in the stars to Professor Li in less than a minute.

"I agree with you in part, Professor Li's status in this era is unquestionable, in today's ever-dividing social structure, Professor Li is the benchmark of the age of the starry sea, but as for Xu Wen you brainstormed the idea that "the universe is alive", I seriously doubt that you have gone into the The dead end of idealism."

A Hai's vision, all the stars and space is composed of energy and matter, even more mysterious, wonderful cosmic phenomena, can not escape this category. The universe is pure, he is the ultimate fantasy of all objective things, A Hai really can not tolerate Xu Wen's subjective thinking leap, which is disrespectful to the "researcher" status.

Xu Wen chose to be silent, he understood that the conversation with A Hai was undoubtedly a war between the lips of a donkey and the mouth of a horse, and would not reach a half-hearted consensus.

After ten minutes, A Hai lost patience, think Xu Wen waiting for the so-called star response, is undoubtedly a waste of precious time, "McHab" is right in front of the eyes, why not choose to use the eyes to observe but to hope in the brain's illusory imagination?

"The last five minutes Ahai, please believe me!"

Xu Wen is sure that the stars will not be bored to show him a trick, he is convinced that the moment of consciousness just now is not a brain stroke formed by hallucinations.

"I strongly suggest that you should relax this time when you return to the research center, you should know that once there is a confirmed mental illness, you will no longer be able to engage in the astronomy business."

A Hai finally chose to wait, five minutes would not change anything, although he thought that today's Xu Wen was already a bit demonic.

"June 13, 1:33 Ari Observatory, latitude 32.5 degrees north, longitude 80 degrees east, slight deviation (negligible), no cumulus clouds, good observation field, observation equipment: "McHubb" astronomical observation mirror."

Ahai still kept the anachronistic habit of written records, and he remembered what Professor Li once taught: With the current technology, we astronomers can leave the earth's atmosphere and be in the starry sky, and get in close contact with the universe, but why do we still choose to observe the cosmic objects on land? anachronistic behavior does not mean backwardness, but a heritage.

"Hai, I hear you."

A Hai stopped writing, but in the moment he slightly raised his head, a harsh and bone chilling wind swept in!

Xu Wen came against the wind, looking at the holy snowy mountains in the east, a smile finally appeared on his face, and the response of the stars finally came quietly at this moment.

Snap!

A sea of bewildered looking at the scene in front of him, the record pen fell to the ground is still oblivious, the holy cold stream from the snowy mountains, mixed with colorful colors, like a ribbon through space, in the plateau and the starry sky between the circling and flying, sound particles and light particles, the distance between the two particles across a million light years, and finally in this space-time convergence entangled, forming a new wave spectrum.

"Is the starry sky ...... alive ......"

Ahai was trembling, the visual and auditory impact was displayed at this moment, looking at the long colored river surrounding his body, his mind appeared to intersect with Xu Wen for the first time. Yes, Hai heard it too, the new wave spectrum formed by these two particles across space and time, accepted by the cerebral cortex and re-edited for translation.

"It's me."
