Chapter 176 The world in the eyes of scientists
Stark is a smart man, he heard what Levi means...
These things are originally to be handed over to the government as a bargaining chip. It doesn’t matter whether the specific government scientists can get anything from it. What is important is to allow politicians to obtain visible "results" to be used to excuse those who are dissatisfied with them.
Both parties to the negotiation must make substantial contributions. You, the Autobot, can't run over and say, "I want to protect humanity." Then everyone will pay and let you do whatever you want on the earth.
After all, in terms of strength, these Cybertan's robots are not overwhelming.
If you really do this, the politician who signed the contract will end up doing it.
Optimus Prime has fully demonstrated his sincerity. Now he needs to use "technology" and "physical objects" as bargaining chips so that the human government can willingly cooperate with him.
This 'physical object' was a bargaining chip that Li Wei had made his own decision to add to Optimus Prime, otherwise he would not have shown it in front of the Minister of Defense and made a hint.
This thing has no reliable source, and it is actually not of great significance to humans today. Because without the 'fire source', the deformation metal cannot be copied at all. After all, how many deformation metals can be squeezed out by chopping all the Transformers?
Li Wei is well aware of the nature of the American government. You can only use "technology" to draw big pie to the appetite of those politicians.
We must give them something they cannot understand. Scientists will be amazed when they see something that is amazing, not only magical, but also has an extremely bright future, so that they can unify their thoughts as soon as possible.
Levi did this to repay Optimus Prime for not forgetting his promise at the last moment. He not only gave himself the fragments of the "fire source", but also used the "fire source" to drive the high-level metal in Megatron to create a "big max" for Levi.
Levi was willing to give things to Stark, but Stark had to take out the corresponding chips to fill the gap in the Autobots' chips.
This is not an exchange of interests, but Levi is unilaterally helping Stark get what he wants. The key is what he can use to impress those greedy politicians.
At the same time, Li Wei also sincerely hopes that Stark can make some breakthroughs from this thing with his genius mind. After all, he will definitely benefit from any new discovery.
After hesitating for a long time, Stark glanced at the steel suit model floating on the operating table, then gritted his teeth and said, "The Stark Group also has influence in Congress, but I have to send Obadai to prison first so that I can fully grasp the board of directors.
It seems that it is not possible to take it slowly..."
Li Wei looked at Stark's gritting teeth, and he smiled and said, "Do you want me to introduce Director Cohen of FBI to you?
It's very interesting to say. I actually met the American Secretary of Defense yesterday. That's a big shot. In the past, I never thought I could know such a big shot.
Does this mean that I am a big shot too?”
Stark frowned and looked at Levi and said, "It depends on how you define the 'big figure'?
You are now in the condition of becoming a ‘big guy’, and I am happy to provide support in the areas you need if you want.”
When Li Wei heard this, she smiled and shook her head, saying, "Forget it, 'big guy' is not suitable for me, so it is better for me to be the owner of the restaurant, Ansheng, to bask in the sun."
As he said that, Levi pointed to the energy core in Stark's hand and said with a smile: "Do you have a clue? I need a 'charger'."
Stark took the core and threw it twice, and said with a smile: "Then you have to wait for a while. The energy elements contained in this energy core are very different from those we know. This is not something that can be charged by connecting a wire to the power supply."
Li Wei has lived in the electrical age for both his life, and his understanding of energy remains within the range of "electricity" and "thermal energy". Anyway, most of the energy will eventually be converted into electricity and finally appear in all aspects of life.
Stark looked at Levi's confused look, shook his head with contempt and said, "It's hard for me to explain to you because I'm worried you won't understand."
Li Wei was stunned when he heard this, then couldn't help but raise his middle finger and said, "FUCK, I'm not a scientist, but I can still understand human words. You can't even speak human words?"
Stark looked at Levi with an eyebrow and said, "Do you think the world you know now is objective?
Do you think we see the same thing as deformed metal?
Do you think the "color, shape, and smell" that different individuals see the same object and finally reflect it into their brains is the same?
Human senses of smell, taste and hearing are combined, and only more than 600 biological proteins are needed to take care of them.
Hearing requires sound waves, which are only useful on Earth or places similar to Earth. There is only one hydrogen atom per four cubic meters in the universe. When we walk out of Earth, hearing becomes invalid.
Our vision is just the retinal cells’ feelings about electromagnetic waves, and my vision is not even as good as most animals.
Do you think bees are looking at beautiful flowers when collecting honey? In fact, bees see ultraviolet in their stamens. To a certain extent, whales are the most developed visually on the earth, because they can see far-infrared and near-ultraviolet.
Humans are limited to their own perception and detection methods, and the energy forms they can see and feel only account for 4% of this universe."
Li Wei was full of doubts when he heard this. He felt that Stark was bragging about being so-called awesome, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it because he couldn't spell many of the words this guy said.
If it is Chinese, you can recognize every word, and then you can guess a rough idea together. However, if you don’t understand some English words, you don’t understand them. Even if they speak English, you still sound like a foreign language.
Looking at Stark's contemptuous expression, Levi turned to Dr. Ethan who was walking over and said, "Do you understand what this guy said? Why do I think he is not human words?"
Dr. Ethan nodded shyly and said, "Tony means that we are limited to means and only know 4% of the energy forms of this universe.
This core energy, including the process of energy absorption and production, is beyond my past understanding, so it takes time…”
When Li Wei heard this, he looked at Stark with contempt and said, "You just say you can't understand it for the time being. Is it difficult to admit your ignorance?"
Stark was angry and laughed at Levi, and he said with contempt: "Do you understand the meaning of this thing?
If you can understand its operating mechanism, you can trace the source and understand which elements it absorbs, and then form a reaction to generate energy.
Do you think this is just a toy battery?
This is a completely new discovery, and no matter who can figure it out, you can book the Nobel Prize.”
Levi spread his hands and said, "So what? To me, this thing is a battery.
Anyway, I've given you something. If you win the prize, remember to share half of the prize.
Also, are you okay? Otherwise, try using electricity first. I watch all the movies with 'electricity', and as long as they can be fully charged, I will still have no problem paying for some electricity."
Seeing Stark being so angry by Levi, Dr. Ethan said with a smile: "The charger matter is not difficult to solve.
What Tony is interested in is the core operating mechanism of this phone, because it is alive. It absorbs certain elements in the universe that we cannot perceive, and then synthesizes them to generate energy, just like the human body will synthesize energy after eating.
We don’t understand what it is just 'eat', but in fact we can detect the energy it generates. Just make an energy converter and recharge it in reverse."
When Li Wei heard this, he held Dr. Ethan's hand and shook it hard, saying, "You are the real scientist, much better than that kind of mouth cannon.
I'll ask you about the charger, I can write you a check.
Do you have no place to live yet? I have a beachfront apartment and if you are willing to go there, I can arrange a room for you.”
In fact, after hearing Dr. Ethan's words, Li Wei probably understood the speciality of the core, but he really couldn't stand Stark's appearance that he was a fool.
I don’t know what the reason is that I know only 4% of the universe and I’m so cool. I don’t know what to be proud of if I know one more than I am, at most two percentage points?
Stark didn't feel angry this time. He just shook his head and said, "The end of science is actually 'theology' because there are so many things in this world that we cannot understand.
We are limited to senses and means, and we cannot have a clear understanding of the universe where we are.
This core reminds me of a paper I wrote in college. What should be a real new energy source?
I miniaturized the Ark reactor in Afghanistan, but using the ‘palladium element’ as fuel is actually a chronic suicide for me.
I need to try to find a new element. This core makes me understand that the 'new element' has always been there, but we cannot discover it due to the current means.
The core operation mechanism is completely different from that of the Ark Reactor, but it inspired me a lot.
If you want to fundamentally solve the problem, what you need is not a ‘charger’ but a new element ‘mine’. This ‘mine’ is right next to us, but we don’t have the ability to discover them, so we can only let the core 'breathe' absorb it."
Li Wei thought about the huge machine buried in a pyramid in the Transformers I saw in his previous life. He shook his head and said, "It may not be that it is impossible to discover it, but that we can't bear the price of excavation."
As he said that, Li Wei shook his head funny and said, "It's useless to talk to me about this. I don't understand anyway. I'm just a pragmatist."
