It was 8:30 a.m. on July 16, 2007, and our protagonist, Mr. Liu Yi, nicknamed King Kong, had no idea that this was his last day in the world, to be precise, the last half hour. So, he was just worried about his friend Zhang Yong, nicknamed Little Z, and he was thinking that, anyway, when Little Z came, he would still try to persuade him one last time not to do this dangerous time-travel experiment. Though he knew the advice would be ineffective, he had tried it countless times over the past year or so.
King Kong is now in a cave in Wuyi Mountain, where he actually tried to persuade Little Z yesterday: "Little Z, listen to me and don't risk your life. It's not too late to decide to stop now. There's no need to do this absurd experiment, in case... ".
"King Kong, are you afraid that the quality of the ceramic balls you make is not good?" "Zhang Yong replied with a smile.
"Little Z, the quality of my ceramic balls is definitely fine! The design safety factor is 1.5, but it can actually be as high as 1.7, "King Kong hates it most when people doubt the quality of his company's products." I'm worried about this Effery time-travel theory. He himself says probably only a lunatic would do this experiment! I'm afraid you're going to die!"
"Forget it. How many times have you said that over the past year or so. We've been preparing for this time travel for so long that I can't give up. This experiment is bound to succeed."
According to that absurd Efferry theory of time and space, as soon as the explosives in this cave explode, little Z will be sent back to about eighty years ago! But King Kong thought it was impossible! The most likely scenario is that the cave will collapse.
King Kong sighed and said to Little Z, "Forget it. I just hope you're still alive when I dig you out of the cave after the explosion."
...............
It's all that damn Efferry's doing!
In early 2005, a French astronomer named Evilly published a paper suggesting that people could travel through time and space! Specifically, as long as a certain amount of energy is provided in a relatively enclosed space, a certain mass of object can travel through time and space!
How much energy is needed to make an object of what mass travel through time and space? How much time span? The question depends on the time and space where the Earth was at that time. In terms of the formula: If sending an object of mass M requires energy E, then E=MC2*Ksinθ, where C2 is the square of the speed of light; The time span traversed simultaneously is T=Lsinθ.
This formula shows that the intervals between the four dimensions are fluctuating, and if two three-dimensional Spaces are fluctuating very close in the direction of their fourth dimension (time) axis, it does not require much energy E to make matter of mass M transcend spacetime. The θ in the formula is the Angle of fluctuation, which varies from 0 to 360 degrees.
You know that the sine sin is positive when θ is 0-180 degrees, when it travels through space to the future, and when θ is 180-360 degrees, it goes back to the past.
Because the space-time span of the time travel is T=Lsinθ, that is to say, when θ equals 0 or 180 degrees, although only a little energy is needed to travel through space, the time of the time travel is also a few tenths of a second (that is, the space-time has not changed) or very close (if you find that it seems to be repeating something a few seconds ago, or suddenly you don't know what happened a few seconds ago, then congratulations, You may have encountered such a small span of spacetime travel.
He began his study of the theory of time and space after obtaining an ancient Arabic translation of the "Secret Manual of Zi Wei Dou Shu" written by the ancient Chinese author Chen Zu. Epheli says this Chen Zu is an old hand at time travel!
Eviri had only known that Chen Zu was the first scholar in the world to publish a paper on the formation of the universe, so when he saw this ancient book at a Turkish antiquities market stall, he bought it.
According to the paper, Chen Zu, also known as Chen Tuan, was a Chinese college student 1,200 years ago who, when he failed the postgraduate entrance examination, unexpectedly received notes written by a Chinese man named Peng Zu. (Verified by Vajra, Chen Tuan, whose courtesy name was Tunan and whose courtesy name was Fuyaozi, was given the title of Xiyi Xiansheng.) He was from Zhenyuan Bozhou, which is now Bozhou, Anhui Province. He was a juren in the Later Tang Changxing period, not a college student. He failed the jinshi examination, not a graduate student.
Peng Zu was a royal relative and nobleman of the Shang Dynasty three thousand years before Chen Zu. Notes say Peng was a young student of a scientist called Laojun, and they were doing some chemical experiments such as alchemy (Effery believes this was clearly more than three thousand years earlier than the European craze for alchemy research!) .
Peng Zu's laboratory is located in a cave called the Dan Room. One day Peng Zu went into a cauldron (which King Kong thought should be a cauldron) to check the results of the experiment, and some of his classmates played a prank: they covered the cauldron. It wasn't the first time they had played such a joke on him, but it was the last.
The cauldron was made of meteorite iron and the lid was heavy enough to be lifted by several people, so Peng had to rest in it for a while and wait for his classmates to let him out.
He suddenly felt a strong tremor and then he lost consciousness. Before he lost consciousness, what flashed through his mind was the explosion of the smelting crucible furnace beside him! Such things have happened before. When he woke up from his stupor, he found that the cauldron had fallen to the ground, so the lid was open. But when he came out he found himself in a time and space called the Zhou Dynasty!
So, Evilly thought Peng Zu was the first person recorded to have traveled through time and space.
But Pengzu himself doesn't know what's going on. Fortunately, he had something that could prove his identity, so the people and authorities of the Zhou Dynasty acknowledged his identity. (Good luck, he wasn't sent to a mental hospital. Maybe there wasn't a mental hospital at that time?) . So he was confirmed to be around 700 years old! After that, Peng Zu was regarded as a deity by the people of the Zhou Dynasty, which is quite understandable. The powerful bestowed upon him a great deal of wealth and female slaves, hoping that he would teach immortal arts and the way of immortality.
Peng Zuli used the human and material resources to do some research, because he himself was also eager to know the reason for his "longevity", that is, the reason why he slept for hundreds of years. But he found that the original laboratory had collapsed and been buried under the earth and rocks. After much effort, Peng finally dug up a cave called "Dan Shi" and found that the rocks in the cave were not only cracked but also had signs of being melted by the high temperature. After much hard work, he finally found a bit of metal at the center of the crucible that exploded back then: lead and mercury! The ore that the teacher experimented with was extracted from the Kunlun Mountains, but it was not lead ore, but cinnabar was added. It is known that mercury can be produced by adding cinnabar, but lead is something that has not been found in previous experiments.
After that, Peng Zu tried to repeat the experiment, but many years passed without success. And his investors were clearly not satisfied with the progress of his research. And apart from his advanced age, Peng showed no other divine spells, so some began to wonder if he was a deity.
Notes only state that his investors have stopped providing him with experiments. After that, Peng Zu disappeared without a trace. Was it his sponsors who had him executed as a swindler (which was entirely possible in China's legal context at that time), or did he run away on his own? No one knew.
After Peng Zu's disappearance, the world said he lived to be 800 years old. Some of his disciples and assistants believed that he was a deity. From then on, a group of people in Taoism continued to conduct experiments called "alchemy". The common feature of them was that the laboratory was set up in a cave, which they called "the blessed land of the cave", saying that a cave with good feng shui could reach the sky; They used large metal crucibles, attached great importance to lead and mercury, and were also interested in Kunlun Mountains, meteoric iron, explosives, etc. But for hundreds of years there was no definite record of success except for a few who were blown to pieces in the experiment (they called "daytime Ascension"), until the appearance of Chen Tuan.
Chen Tuan summed up his experience based on Peng Zu's account. The first is to be in a relatively enclosed space, like a mountain cave; The second is to have a burst of energy; The third is a vessel that can withstand that burst of energy. At that time, the Taoists had already had a certain foundation in the study of explosives, so Chen Tuan conducted experiments on this basis and succeeded.
He had records of sleeping in caves for days or months, the longest of which was for decades. His theoretical lifespan at the time of his death was 118 years old, an age that would be astonishingly long even today, and a miracle in those days when nutrition and medicine were scarce! So it was perfectly normal that people regarded him as a deity at that time. But if you subtract the time he 'slept', his actual lifespan is basically normal.
After Chen Tuan's death, his experimental notes such as "The Secret Manual of Zi Wei Dou Shu", "Yi Long Tu", and "Xian Tian Tu" vanished in the struggle among several disciples. His discourse on the origin of the universe was also compiled by his disciples. Even the people of the Song Dynasty at that time were puzzled: How could the writings and articles of such a famous scholar only be heard in name but not in substance? It must have been someone, or some people, who, in order to monopolize his works, secretly took Chen Tuan's notes to the West. As a result, Chen Tuan's handwriting only passed down the famous "Wuji Tu", which later became the Taiji diagram. It is only because Chen Tuan had carved it on Mount Hua that many people had seen it back then, and although it was later destroyed, there are still replicas passed down.
The Taiji diagram is used to illustrate that two Spaces are adjacent and can be connected. Particularly notable is the curve in the middle of the Tai Chi diagram: it is a sine curve!
Of course, in present-day Asia, the curve in the middle of the Tai Chi diagram has been simplified to a semi-circular arc, and the Secret Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu has been misinterpreted as a divination book of several divination schools, which is quite different from the Arabic translation.
Evily believes that Chen Zu's success is related to his good luck, because he began his experiment in a period when the wave Angle θ is slightly over 180 degrees, that is to say, when he began his time travel experiment, he was in a period when he could only travel to the next few days or tens of days, but also in a period when the required energy could not make the time travel successful.
Peng Zu was even luckier because he thought the explosion he encountered during his space travel was a nuclear fission, the first nuclear explosion test in human history, and the lead left behind was a product of uranium fission. Peng Zu's academy should have been destroyed by the explosion, but he survived.
Chen Tuan is a very intelligent man. From his own series of experiments and Peng Zu's notes, he gradually derived the rules of teleportation time changes. And based on his calculations, he concluded that the changes in time and space were "headless and tailless, endless cycles." And initially summarized the patterns of data such as time and energy, and made diagrams like the Tai Chi diagram. It should be noted that mathematics had not yet reached the level of sine and cosine in trigonometric functions.
Evilly, after reading Chen Tuan's notes, was not convinced at first either, until he conducted a small experiment himself, sending a 100-gram tungsten alloy ball into another space: he put the tungsten alloy ball and explosives together in a finite enclosed space and detonated it, and the tungsten alloy ball disappeared! And the analysis by gas chromatograph proved that there was no tungsten in the confined space of the experiment, indicating that the tungsten was not vaporized but vanished.
Based on the experimental data in Chen Tuan's notes, and in combination with the pattern of the distribution and variation of the two thousand or so known black holes in the universe, he derived his calculation formula and data for time travel.
According to his calculations, in mid-July 2007, 243 grams of matter could have been sent back to 79 to 80 years ago with one kilogram of TNT equivalent, and if someone had been willing to sit in a container that could resist the explosion of the explosive and go back to the past to kill Hitler, a catastrophe that would have killed tens of thousands of people could have been avoided. But Evilly himself says that although he believes his theory and calculation very much, probably no one would dare to risk their life for an experiment: no one would be so crazy.
In March 2005, he sent the paper to major American science magazines such as Science, but it was rejected by rigorous editors. It was not until September 2005 that it was finally published in a small journal that presented articles on astronomy and UFO research. After only a few UFO research websites reprinted it, no one paid attention to it, and no one was willing to fund it for further large-scale experiments, which disheartened Evilly.
Two years after the article was published, in July, in the East, there were two groups of "lunatics" quietly preparing for his time-travel experiment, even though the goal was not to kill Hitler. One of them was a wealthy right-wing group in Japan; The other group is a Chinese man, Mr. Zhang Yong, nicknamed Little Z.
