I am a great scientist

Chapter 501 The Tree of the Universe
City of the Sky, Zhou's Manor.

A 'Dragonfly' aircraft, escorted by a large group of space fighters, landed steadily in the yard of Zhou's Manor.

With a "crash", the crowd who had been waiting for a long time at the door swarmed forward.

Zhou Wenhai, Ye Huilan, Zhou Wenhua, Tang Yi, ..., and others all showed excitement, and their eyes were fixed on the inside of the 'Dragonfly' aircraft.

With a "click", the hatch opened, Zhou Xing got out first, and then reached out to support Tang Xin.

"Dad, mom! We're back." Zhou Xing greeted Zhou Wenhai and Ye Huilan with a smile.

The next second, Zhou Xing looked at Tang Yi and his wife, and greeted with a smile: "Mom and Dad, you are here too!"

"Stinky boy, you are finally willing to come back! You miss me so much!" Ye Huilan went forward, grabbed Zhou Xing's arm, and couldn't help but burst into tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back!" Zhou Wenhai nodded happily, and secretly turned his face away, he didn't want to cry in front of Zhou Xing.

"Xiaoxin!" Tang's mother hugged Tang Xin all of a sudden, crying loudly.

Tang Yi looked at Tang Xin, his eyes were red, he raised his head slightly, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

I thought Zhou Xing and Tang Xin were already dead. After 31 years of parting and reunion, the tears of joy seemed to collapse, and they could no longer hold back.

"Mom! My brother and sister-in-law are back safely! Today is a day of great joy, so let's stop crying!" A young woman walked up to Ye Huilan and softly comforted her.

"Okay, okay! Don't cry! Don't cry!" Ye Huilan wiped away her tears and nodded happily.

"Mom, is she Tang Xin's sister!" a ten-year-old girl asked Tang's mother.

"Yes." Mother Tang nodded embarrassedly, pulled the little girl to her, and introduced to Tang Xin, "Xiao Xin, this is your sixth sister, Tang Ying."

After finishing speaking, Tang Ma turned her head and greeted the three men and one woman behind her, saying, "Come here quickly, this is your brother-in-law and sister."

Tang Ma blushed and introduced the young people beside Zhou Xing and Tang Xin, and said, "Xiao Xing, this is the second Tang Yi, this is the third Tang Feng, this is the fourth Tang Feng, and this is the fifth Tang Jun." .”

"Brother-in-law, sister, hello!" All the girls looked at Zhou Xing, and Tang Xin greeted in unison.

"Hello! Hello!" Zhou Xing looked at the crowd and nodded with a smile.

"Cough cough!" Zhou Wenhai coughed twice in embarrassment, turned his head to the young man behind him, and ordered: "Zhou Yong, you also come to see your brother and your sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Zhou Yong walked up to Zhou Xing and Tang Xin, greeted him a little shyly, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, hello."

"Hello!" Zhou Xing looked at this young man who was somewhat similar to him, and nodded with a smile.

"Xiaoxing, she is your sister Zhou Qi. I thought..." Ye Huilan introduced Zhou Qi beside her. When she thought of the 31-year parting with Zhou Xing, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm very happy to meet you. It's great that you are back!" Zhou Qi comforted Ye Huilan, looking at Zhou Xing, Tang Xin greeted.

"That's right! Brother-in-law, I can hear your name so hard that my ears get calloused! Now I finally see a real person!" Tang Feng looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes and said excitedly.

"Can my brother-in-law take a picture with me? When the time comes...!" Tang Jun looked at Zhou Xing and asked excitedly.

"I want it too, I want a group photo too!" Tang Ying raised her ears and shouted excitedly, if she could get a group photo with Zhou Xing, her friends would be so envious.

It's been a long time!It's only been 31 years. Looking at a group of younger siblings, sisters-in-law and brother-in-law who are younger than Xiaoyu, Zhou Xing is filled with emotion. When Xiaoyu comes back, he will have a headache.

Zhou Xing nodded and smiled, and greeted the crowd: "Of course there is no problem, you all come here!"

"Yeah! Thank you, brother-in-law!" The boys rushed towards Zhou Xing excitedly.

Soon, Zhou Xing fulfilled the requests of all the youngsters one by one, and took a lot of group photos with them.

"Okay! It's almost time to shoot, everyone go back to the house first!" Zhou Wenhai greeted everyone.

Everyone nodded in unison, and followed Zhou Wenhai into the house.

There is a big family, but fortunately, the living room is spacious enough to accommodate them.

"Brother, sister-in-law, haven't you been able to find Xiaoyu?" Zhou Dan asked Zhou Xing impatiently after everyone was seated.

As soon as Zhou Dan's voice fell, the smiles on Zhou Wenhai's and Tang Yi's faces disappeared immediately, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down.

"Little Dan!" Zhou Wenhua's face darkened, he glared at Zhou Dan angrily, and yelled loudly.

"Uncle, it's okay! Although Xiaoyu couldn't be found this time, I believe there will be news of him soon." Zhou Xing smiled and rescued Zhou Dan.

"Really? Xiaoxing, what happened? What caused you to lose contact one after another?" Zhou Wenhai's spirit was shocked, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"It's the 'cosmic tree' phenomenon. The space-time wormhole allows us to travel to another unknown universe. Xiaoyu should have encountered a similar situation." Zhou Xing replied.

"Unknown universe! So it is like this!" Zhou Wenhai suddenly realized, and also understood why Zhou Xing came back only now.

"Brother-in-law, what is the 'Tree of the Universe'?" Zhou Ying looked at Zhou Xing blankly and asked in confusion.

"The 'Tree of the Universe' is like the fruits on the tree of universes, connected one by one by the branches. Xiaoying should study hard, and you will understand when you grow up!" Zhou Xing smiled at Tang Ying and introduced it figuratively.

"Well! When I grow up, I want to be like my brother-in-law and become an outstanding scientist!" Tang Ying looked at Zhou Xing and said seriously.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled bitterly. Without the assistance of the Great Scientist Assist System, it would not be so easy to become a scientist.

"Are there many universes? Then how can I find Xiaoyu?" Zhou Wenhai asked worriedly, his expression tightened.

"Dad, don't worry! Xing used a special method, and he will definitely be able to find Xiaoyu. It is thanks to this method that we can come back this time!" Tang Xin comforted Zhou Wenhai confidently.

"Good! Good!" Zhou Wenhai nodded happily.

"Xiaoxing, what happened to that giant spaceship? Is it the reason why you asked us to sell the Xingyao Shipyard?" Zhou Wenhua looked at Zhou Xing and asked excitedly.

"Yes! Uncle, we have encountered many alien civilizations during this voyage. Their technology far surpasses ours. Next, the focus of the Star Group's development is to improve the shipbuilding process and reach the level of manufacturing the Titan as soon as possible." Zhou Xing nodded and introduced.

"Okay, okay! Liu Changchuan and the others should regret it this time! Haha!" Zhou Wenhua nodded excitedly and laughed.

"Okay! Don't talk about business, today is the big day for Xiaoxing and the others to go home! The meal is ready, let's celebrate!" Ye Huilan came from the direction of the restaurant and greeted everyone warmly.

Zhou Wenhai's spirit was shaken, and he hurriedly greeted Tang Yi: "Go! Go! Old Tang, we must have a good drink today!"

"Haha! No problem! If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Tang Yi laughed and happily accepted the challenge.

It was night, and Zhou's Manor fell into a sea of ​​celebration. In contrast, the entire human society, for countless people, tonight was a sleepless night.

The genius scientist Zhou Xing returned to the earth today after disappearing for 31 years, the global stock market plummeted, and a press conference will be held tomorrow, which will overturn the entire human society and make countless people sleepless at night.

The setting sun is like blood, the night covers the earth, the stars move, and the night passes in a blink of an eye.

In the anticipation of everyone, the press conference of Shining Star Group was held as scheduled.

Due to the rush of time, the layout of the huge venue was very simple. However, nearly [-] reporters arrived at the venue early, and they were not dissatisfied at all. They were like rabbits, with red eyes, anxiously waiting for the press conference to start.

Time passed bit by bit, nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes were fixed on the booth.

The huge square booth was spotless, waiting for Zhou Xing's debut.

With a bang, a small door inside the booth suddenly opened, and Zhou Xing walked out slowly.

"Papa...." Thunderous applause roared like a huge wave. After 31 years, Zhou Xing stood on this stage again, which made countless reporters miss him immensely.

It's back, that exciting era is back!
The reporters looked at Zhou Xing on the stage with tears in their eyes and applauded desperately.

"Thank you everyone, it seems that you miss me very much!" Zhou Xing smiled and greeted everyone jokingly.

"miss you!"

The reporters responded in unison, and a huge sound wave almost knocked off the roof of the venue.

"Thank you! It's not easy to stand here today. In order to repay everyone's enthusiasm, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation today!" Zhou Xing announced with a slight smile, watching everyone.

"Papa..." The applause from the audience became more intense.

"After 31 years, everyone must be very curious about our itinerary. Next, please keep quiet and let me tell you about this long interstellar journey." Zhou Xing looked at the audience and reminded everyone with a smile.

Hearing this, the reporters stopped applauding one after another, looked at Zhou Xing on the stage with piercing eyes, and held their breath.

"Wuheng is the scientific research mothership we took on this interstellar voyage." Zhou Xing stretched out his hand, and the big holographic screen showed the influence of Wuheng.

After a pause, Zhou Xing looked at the audience and explained: "The decision to start this interstellar journey is mainly to achieve two purposes. One is to explore the unknown universe. Human civilization has just started the era of great interstellar voyages. Our understanding is very limited. How big is the universe? What is outside the universe? We have no way of knowing. Second, we are looking for the Panshi, because I have always suspected that the Panshi has lost contact with very special circumstances. Sure enough, after this expedition Afterwards, I found out the reason why the Panshi lost contact, and also learned part of the mysteries of the universe."

Hearing this, the reporters in the audience were all shocked, their eyes widened, they concentrated their minds, and waited for Zhou Xing to clarify their doubts.

Seeing the audience's reaction, Zhou Xing smiled with satisfaction, and explained: "There is a very interesting view called the cosmic bubble theory, which believes that the universe we live in is actually a bubble, and each universe is like a huge multiverse. A soap bubble in the space, born and expanded from the respective big bang events.

This is a bit like a pool of cosmic "bubbles", each of which is a universe. In each such universe, the basic physical parameters are different. The physics in our universe is composed of a few Defined by several different physical parameters, such as the strength of gravitational force, the strength of atomic binding force, ... .

These parameters may be different in different universes, and the probability is almost equivalent to rolling a dice. Perhaps in another universe, gravity makes objects repel each other, ..., and their time flow rates are different in different universes, ... … "

After a pause, Zhou Xing continued to explain: "There is another interesting point of view called multiverse theory. In a narrow sense, "multiverse theory" refers to the diversity of habitable worlds, that is, it is believed that there are many worlds similar to the earth in the universe. There will also be intelligent creatures living there, so the "multiverse theory" in a narrow sense is also called "many worlds theory".

"Multiverse theory" in a broad sense refers to the diversity of universe forms, that is, it is believed that there are countless independent universes with various characteristics outside the total galaxy or "our universe" that can be observed. The "multiverse theory" in a broad sense "Also confirms the existence of intelligent beings on other celestial bodies outside "our universe",  …. "

"You should have mentioned the famous "photon double-slit experiment". In the experiment, the photons that should embody the nature of particles (such as bullets) unexpectedly appeared wave characteristics (diffraction fringes like water waves), and calculated according to the final diffraction fringes , this photon passes through two gaps at the same time, and interferes with itself, but when a detector is used to observe the photon, the photon will appear obvious "particle nature", and will only pass through one gap.

Parallel universe theory believes that when photons split into two and pass through the gap, the entire universe has split, one is the universe that photons pass through from the right, and the other is the universe that photons pass through from the left, yes, including the entire human being and all matter The universe of today is "split" so easily, the whole world is splitting all the time, the so-called continuous universe will not exist, every moment will be the starting point of time, then, "Schrödinger's cat" will not There is a mystery of life and death, those are two universes after all.

......

"Based on the above theories, we can already infer that the universe is not as simple as we imagined. Fortunately, during this interstellar voyage, we encountered another alien civilization, completed a transaction, and obtained a population knowledge of the theory of the universe!"

Zhou Xing finally concluded: "Now, I would like to propose another new point of view. I think: In addition to the total galaxy or "our universe" that we have observed, there are countless independent universes with various characteristics. , that is, each universe is independent, but they are also related to each other, linked one by one through the context of space-time wormholes, I call this cosmology: the "cosmic tree" theory."

Zhou Xing paused his speech, and the whole venue was silent. The reporters stared blankly at Zhou Xing, confused by the profound theory, unable to react at once.
