Chapter 7, It does not exist

Director Hu Hai did not respond, while Lou Qi and Jiang Zi pushed the scanning electron microscope beside them closer, and the probe slowly descended into the vacuum glove box to make contact with the surface of the black sphere

"2001: A Space Odyssey," that famous black monolith. "If we touch this black sphere," Mo Yu said, "will the life forms be transcended?"

It is so precise that it could not have spontaneously arisen in nature. If this universe is a system designed by someone, then this sphere is undoubtedly a program bug or a compilation tool

I do not understand this point. Mo Yu crossed his arms and said, "Whether it is kilograms or centimeters, these units are defined by us... Bai, what is the definition of the kilogram that you are using?"

"Because we cannot observe it." Chairman Hu Donghai hesitated for a moment, "From a certain perspective..."

"There is no malfunction," Director Hu shook his head, "The microscope is functioning normally. We have checked it; no matter how we take the pictures or how we magnify them, even if we magnify it to one million times, it is still a black screen"

How could one not know

Four men stood silently around.

This is the second key point we are going to discuss. Chairman Hu and the other three exchanged glances, "We do not know."

Do you know what I am thinking about

No matter how I debug, the screen remains black

Mo Yu asserts

He paused

It is still the South African gorilla, which not only has not evolved but may have even regressed

"This is impossible," Liang Jing said, "but the facts are already before your eyes."

The microscope simply went black.

Hmm? A voice from the laboratory said, "Is that you, Mo Yu? We are quite busy right now, is there something you need?"

There is only one high-level containment laboratory within the Cassini Station, located at the end of the corridor on the first floor. It is a self-contained area, isolated from other zones, and it is also the largest laboratory in terms of area within the Cassini Station. According to the standards of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it barely meets the requirements for a biosafety level 3 laboratory.

According to the standards established by the International Committee for Weights and Measures, the Planck constant and Avogadro's constant are used as benchmarks. The response from the expert states, "In physical terms, when the Planck constant is 6.62607015 x 10^{-34} js, the mass of one kilogram is determined by a sphere of pure silicon-28.

"Come and see you busy people." She put on the breathing mask and zipped it up

The bug of this universe

They are deep in thought, their minds racing.

At first, she thought the power was off and instinctively reached to press the button, but then she noticed the changing parameters on the screen indicating that the scanning electron microscope was functioning normally, with a magnification exceeding 600,000 times

The shooting results that Mo Yu envisioned should be hilly areas with overlapping peaks and uneven surfaces, or dry concrete that has been trampled by crowds. On a macro level, no matter how neat and smooth an object appears, on a micro level it is often a sight to behold. It is akin to the face of an unparalleled beauty magnified, revealing a multitude of pores. In Mo Yu's understanding, even the smoothest glass and metal in the world, when magnified sufficiently, will still appear as rough as sandpaper.

It does not exist

bug

Mo Yu came downstairs to seek justice

What? Liang Jing asked

Mo Yu was taken aback

Mo Yu leaned against the cabinet, staring at the black ball for a long time

Then the mass of this black sphere is exactly e times this result, and its diameter is exactly 10 times the centimeter as defined by humans. " Mo Yu nodded, " Is this possible? Is there any other place besides us that uses units like kilograms and meters? And with definitions exactly the same as ours? "

"Jiang Zi has already touched it," Liang Jing replied, "Do you see that he has transcended?"

Although it appears to be sophisticated and advanced, the P3 laboratory is actually seldom used due to its strict and cumbersome usage standards and procedures. Ordinary individuals are generally unwilling to don the cumbersome sealed protective suits and stand in the laboratory for two hours. Moreover, it is questionable whether this laboratory can truly fulfill its purpose on Titan. Is it really necessary to handle research samples in the same manner as dealing with Ebola and SARS?

As Mo Yu entered, the first thing he saw was the black ball inside the glove compartment

What are you all busy with ... ... What is this ?

Everyone present is observing the black ball and making their own judgments

After searching through my thoughts for a long time, I finally found a word to describe it

Through the glass of the security door, Mo Yu could see four large men standing in a circle.

Of course, she was also mentally prepared for another possibility: that this black sphere could be an object completely beyond her understanding, magnified over 600,000 times yet still as smooth as a mirror

Mo Yu has seen normal scanning electron microscope images, with a magnification of 600,000 times allowing for resolution down to the sub-nanometer level. The electron microscope in the laboratory is generally used to analyze the surface structure of mineral crystals. In the words of the laboratory director, Hu Donghai, using this electron microscope to capture images of Escherichia coli, one can determine what the E. coli are mumbling about in their dreams by observing their mouth shapes.

Why is this happening

"Is there a malfunction?" Mo Yu asked

Therefore, this is undoubtedly an artificial object

She opened the laboratory door, entered the isolation chamber, donned a protective suit, and disinfected herself

"This means its surface should be absolutely smooth," said Mo Yu. "What is its molecular structure like?"

Mo Yu looked up and down at Jiang Zi, shaking his head

Mo Yu looked at the display of the electron microscope, and the screen was completely black

However, the final result was still unexpected

No wonder Lou Qi said that this thing is a bug

A black sphere with a mass of e and a circumference of π is either a bug in the universe or the ruler used by God during creation

However, humans can certainly not create a standard sphere with a mass of e kilograms and a diameter of 10 centimeters. Liang Jing said, "This is a truly standard sphere, far more standard than any sphere we have ever manufactured in history. Exhausting the limits of our measurement capabilities, its diameter is still ten centimeters, which means that if we were to scale it up to the size of the Earth, the Sun, or even the Oort Cloud, the difference in height between the highest and lowest points on its surface would still be zero"

A few men exchanged glances; Hu Donghai's gaze was very serious, Liang Jing's gaze was filled with fear, Lou Qi's gaze was one of astonishment, and Jiang Zi looked very confused

Five people stood silently in the laboratory, the ventilation system emitting a faint buzzing sound

Establishing a high-level laboratory on Titan is truly a miracle. The Cassini station itself has limited space, and all air and freshwater must be recycled. However, the construction requirements for the P3 laboratory are exactly the opposite; the air expelled from the laboratory must not be recycled at all. The design requirements of the two are completely contradictory. Moryu does not know how the designers managed to achieve this, but they ultimately succeeded in piecing these two elements together and constructing it on Titan.
