Chapter 1420: Hidden Dangers of the Future

There was heavy rainfall in the shattered, narrow streets, and a group of special forces in black uniforms were lurking behind the rain curtain, quietly awaiting the advent of their prey.

This is Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.

Since that operation three years ago, the region has been brought under the purview of the Chinese State.

With the involvement of the Chinese forces in the situation in the region, armed elements and poles in the north-western part of the country were seized. The forces withdrew towards Central Africa, and with the departure of the vultures, this famous world city of chaos rarely ushered in the dawn of order.

However, poverty, backwardness and obscurity will always be the best hotbeds for violence and terror. Just as light and darkness are always in the balance of each other, violence and bloodshed never really leave here, just from the bright side into the underground...

Just like that rain pouring down the slope into the sewer.

In the distance, a trolley of lights passes through the rain screen and outlines a narrow outline in the night.

As if hiding from something, an old Ford car stepped on a brake and parked on the side of the road. The door slammed open, two black youth sitting in the car pulled down their hats, rushed down the car, ran to the door of an old apartment beside them and slammed their fists at the door.

“Open the door! Come on!”

Soon, the rusty iron door pushed out a small piece of iron, and after confirming the identity of the two people outside the door, the iron door opened completely and put the two people outside the door in.

The rain in the sky was as if it had suddenly fallen, and the sound of a blow on the ground was even more powerful, as if it were a cry from a baby.

The boots stepped on the cement road and passed silently through the water pit in the street, a road flat with a rifle and a silent figure drilling out the rain screen like a sharp blade surrounding the Ford car and the apartment building next to it.

At one point, that empty street actually became crowded.

In the darkness, the lead waved, more than a clean gesture.

The sound of the glass breaking immediately rang out.

Rusty iron doors were blown inwards as a dazzling flash and a deafening roar flashed.

The silence of the night sky was thoroughly broken by the sound of a few clean, falling gunshots awaiting the entry of the special forces at the door, and a symphony of death was weaved during the rainy night, along with the then occasional piercing of the dark flames.

Nearby residents curled up in their homes and pulled windows tight and solid.

No one dares to look out, let alone into the street, scared to see something that should not be seen, thus causing the scourge of life.

The fighting did not last long.

When the last one gives the rebellious martial arts. The attacker fell into the bloodstream, and Wang Peng neatly stuck his pistol in the tactical belt. He crossed the body without expression and walked towards a wretched office.

As can be seen, these individuals, after the attack, had intended to destroy the evidence.

After all, however, they had been cleaned up before they could even react.

After searching carefully on the desk for a while, Wang Peng skillfully removed the bait and lead hidden under the drawer and, with the power of the external skeleton, opened the lock directly to the locked drawer with violence.

A huge click came and threw the whole ripped drawer on the table. Wang Peng reached inside and searched for it. He quickly found something like a mission brief.

It records all information, including mission objectives, the weapons used and the number of persons involved in the operation.

Through this information, they not only foiled an attack that had not yet taken place, but also brought to an end the bombing in Manila a few months earlier.

“The evidence is here… it has been established that they were the perpetrators of the Manila bombing. ”

Standing next to Wang Peng was a partner organized for him in this operation, named Chen Tao, a 256 young man.

Looking at the mission briefing in his hand, Chen Tao couldn't help but say.

“... Shit, why would they do that? ”

“Perhaps to prevent the Shanghai Economic Cooperation Conference, to be held in Manila, and the Pan-Asian Economic Integration Agreement, to be promoted at the Conference. ”

The circumstances were unclear to Wang Peng, who had only heard that the Pan-Asian Economic Integration Agreement was of great importance to the countries of East Asia and that it was closely linked to a range of cross-regional cooperation, including cross-regional electricity grids, cross-border magnetic hovering tunnels and so on.

“But it's hard to say… only the Americans can make such a big case under our noses, but now that their relationship with us is on their honeymoon, there's no need to take such a big risk. ”

“Not necessarily Americans. ”

Even if it were, he wouldn't be surprised.

“You mean… remnants of a group of Somali pirates who beat us up in the streets of Manila? ”

“No, I do not mean to say that they have done these things of their own free will, but to say that someone else has assisted them… This reminds me of the robbery three years ago. If the orbital airborne brigade had not been on standby for the entire journey, they would have been able to do so with the support of British Secret Service forces alone. ”

From the bottom of the drawer, a notebook made of cowhide was turned, and Wang Peng told him to take it and flip it at will.

Soon his eyebrows frowned.

“… I may have found it. ”

“What is this?”

“A ‘missionary manual' … but not a religion in Somalia," looking at the familiar symbol, Wang Peng's eyebrows locked tightly.

Spirit of the Universe Foundation.

Didn't expect to see that name here.

Turning the note over two pages, he suddenly discovered that on one of the pages, there was a torn newspaper.

“… the hypothesis of four-dimensional space debris in the ruins of Mars. ”

Looking at the unknown title of the line, and the strange formula of the line stuck in the body, Wang Peng gradually began to realize that the hidden situation in it was probably far more complicated than he thought...

“Tomorrow I'm going back to the country. ”

“Are you going home?” Chen Tao looked at him and said, "What about the rest of the work? ”

Wang Peng reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

“Leave it to you. ”

……

Two years ago.

Since the disaster on Mars, Wang Peng has been transferred back to Earth from Mars Science Caucus.

The organization did not punish Lu Academician for his death. After all, in the face of disaster at that level, the strength of the individual was always small.

He has tried his best to bring back the relics of the Lu Academician. However, even if no one blamed him, the deep self-blame still wavered in his mind. Even after two years, he still did not come out of the disaster...

NSA's office.

Pushing the door open, Wang Peng walked in.

“Chief Yang, you wanted to see me? ”

“Yes," he sat upright from his office chair, and Director Yang threw the document he had just read at his desk, "the source of the newspaper found out... it wasn't a newspaper at all, it was torn from an academic journal. ”

I picked up that file from my desk, and Wang Peng frowned and flipped everything inside.

After a long time, he gave a comment.

“… kind of interesting. ”

This academic journal has a pretty good start, and it's one of the three university journals of today, Nature.

And the note that was torn off, on the cover of the issue of Nature that was published last month, was set up to highlight the results of the study.

Simply put, Professor Aubrey and Professor Schulz claim in their research that the earthquake that struck Mars two years ago was not triggered by geological movements.

The real reason for this is that the collapse of four-dimensional space debris has led to the repair of distorted spaces and positions, thereby triggering the structural collapse of the entire site.

It's like a building, smashed into a weight-bearing wall.

Though it sounds a little stubborn, they eventually proved this theoretically through some samples taken from the ruins of Mars, as well as mathematical inferences based on their subjective feelings.

Because the paper looks a little ridiculous, it's a lot of controversy in academia.

Perhaps in the hope that this would trigger greater discussion, Nature cites this research and labels it as highlighting.

Looking at the unexpected look on Wang Peng's face, Director Yang continued.

“Professor Aubrey and Professor Schultz, who were in the diplomatic corps to Mars two years ago and survived that catastrophe, are no stranger to you. ”

Wang Peng nodded.

“I have an impression. ”

Director Yang went on to say, "Based on their recent paper and the description of the existence of four-dimensional space debris, our intelligence agents, after consulting the relevant experts, have drawn inferences. ”

“In the ruins of Mars civilization, there should be a special organ, a technology that human civilization - that is, all of us - does not yet understand, and that is powerful enough to affect the space around us, and even the dimension itself. ”

“Under the influence of that four-dimensional space debris, they were trapped in a circular space, like hamsters on wheels. ”

After listening to his superiors, Wang Peng opened his mouth slightly in surprise and gave his own assessment after a while of silence.

“It sounds a little like a science fiction movie. ”

“It does seem a little bit, but it does, so far, constitute one of the most likely explanations. There used to be a civilization on Mars that was much more powerful than us, and their technology was unprecedented, and that relic was evidence. ”

Looking at Director Yang, Wang Peng opened his mouth.

“Go straight ahead. What do you need me to do? ”

The office was quiet for a while.

Director Yang, sitting behind the desk, seemed hesitant for a while, but eventually he made a decision.

“The Spirit of the Universe Foundation, which we haven't had a clue about for more than two years, for the time being, regardless of why they're looking at the ruins of Mars, what really bothers me is how subversive the technology of burial there can be to the current international situation. ”

“You should know why we have the current international status. And if we lose the edge of technology, what are we going to face? ”

Wang Peng nodded and said he understood.

Staring closely at him, Director Yang continued.

“Our current excavation of the rubble of Hell's Gate, which is only 50 metres deep, cannot continue downward with the technical means available and the wired conditions on Mars. If you want to dig the artificial tunnel down to a depth of 1-3 km, let alone a dozen or two decades, you don't have to do it this century. ”

“No one can guarantee, however, that when we have sufficient capacity to dig up that monument, our system and implementation will remain as important as today, and as important as today, to be alert to potential threats. ”

“People are oblivious, let alone generations apart. ”

“Unless there is a comrade who is sufficiently loyal, remembers his mission, and is good at learning and has strong execution to remind our compatriots. ”

Director Yang glanced at Wang Peng with a hint of recognition.

“Your loyalty is visible, and you are the only one I can trust. ”

“For the sake of... And tomorrow, I need you to go on a mission. ”

“… you mean. ”

Looking at the look on his face, Wang Peng had already guessed what the Director Yang wanted himself to do.

Director Yang nodded solemnly looking at him.

“Looks like you've guessed. ”

“Yes, I want you to go to the future. ”

……

Princeton.

The Library's activity room shouted cheers.

It wasn't until the door heard the librarian smashing the door that the cheering sound came down.

“This is an absolute miracle in the history of economics, sociology, human behavior… and even physics and mathematics!” The agitation of the elusive tone, Professor Albert standing at the table, lowered the volume and cheered.

On the computer screen, a 40-page formula has been compiled into a beautiful programming language.

A delicate parameter is like a finely crafted gear, dominated by a formula that corresponds to human social behaviour and economic activity, making up a huge machine.

It's the ultimate in big data theory!

At the same time, the size of the sample is unprecedented!

It took them four years to complete this great project, and now it is time to test their results.

Hot in his eyes, Professor Krugman, who has always been steady, couldn't resist rubbing his hands and couldn't wait to say.

“Come and try it, I can't wait. ”

“Wait a minute, I've already applied for extra access, it's almost OK...”

The program import did not take much time.

Because the preparation for the previous period is almost complete, all that remains is to import the sample parameters they have collected, one by one, and then solve this complex equation with supercomputer anti-sky computation to get the results they want.

Without waiting too long, in just one hour, they succeeded in getting the raw data.

Together, they spent an entire day collating the data.

However, unexpected things have happened.

However, after seeing this result, Albert and Professor Krugman had a strange look on their faces.

The silence lasted about 10 minutes.

Ultimately, Albert took the lead in breaking the silence, in an uncertain tone.

“… is there something wrong? ”

“Impossible," said Professor Krugman, who pushed the glasses on the nose beam and was incredibly confident of his research results, "in the computational sense, our results are incredibly correct… although the results may differ somewhat from what we imagined. ”

ε Represents the rate of technological growth, linked to λ, which represents GDP, and includes major national urbanization rates, education indices,

Based on their calculations.

In keeping with current trends, the pace of technological development of human civilization will peak in the 1950s and then rapidly fall back in the second half of the twenty-first century, culminating in a number of positive indicators falling into lows, corresponding to a major stagnation in social development, which will trigger a serious global economic crisis.

More than that, in the second half of the twenty-first century, the global political situation will also undergo a dramatic change.

And this change will change the lives of everyone on the planet…

In short, the situation is rather disappointing.

He swallowed a hard mouth spit, Professor Albert whispered.

“… to be honest, I was frightened by our research results. ”

Professor Krugman nodded and the expression on his face did not go well.

“We should publish this outcome and find ways to expand its impact. At least give some warning to the future...”

“I wonder, does this really work?” Albert looked to Professor Krugman, "Once the big trend had taken shape, it was almost irreversible unless a variable unforeseeable to all occurred. ”

After a moment of silence, Professor Krugman sighed softly.

“Whether it works or not...”

“We have to try. ”
