Chapter 1404 The Wandering Window Hypothesis: People Who Prophet the Bizarre Apocalypse
Shen Hanmeng also knew that her opinion was somewhat shocking.
In the face of a major crisis, directly advising people to flee is tantamount to abandoning everything here.
They abandoned the wealth they had created...their homeland...their familiar surroundings...and fled into the vast depths of space...
Who would do that unless absolutely necessary?
We are far from being in dire need of help; the situation is serious but not hopeless.
Moreover, even when people are truly in despair, they may not necessarily want to leave.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Shen Hanmeng didn't rush to refute, but instead asked:
"Mr. Chen, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Chen Mu was slightly taken aback, then thought for a moment, "You're quite a thoughtful person, so I think your idea of 'escape' isn't just a spur-of-the-moment decision; there must be some underlying logic behind it."
That's why I was somewhat surprised. I don't know what logic leads you to avoid crises instead of resisting them.
Shen Hanmeng smiled. "Mr. Chen, you really understand me. I'm a very thoughtful person, and I think so myself."
Having ideas means having your own opinions. Having your own opinions means that what I do is what I want to do.
Mr. Chen, do you think my last job—being transferred to a covert launch center to research space survival technology—was an order from my superiors, or was it something I did voluntarily?
To be honest, there's a slight possibility that even Chief Night doesn't know.
That was the clandestine rocket launch center, and I was one of the initiators of this plan.
Although my name wasn't on the initial list of proposers, I secretly contacted other scientists and worked together to push this project forward.
I am the true driving force behind the clandestine rocket launch center.
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Ye Changsheng's face.
He always thought that the secret launch center had nothing to do with Shen Hanmeng.
The reason Shen Hanmeng was transferred to provide support was because they encountered a "technical challenge in developing survival pods".
So Ye Changsheng was still puzzled as to why he had assigned Shen Hanmeng to work. As a result, Shen Hanmeng was so reckless that he locked himself in the survival pod and died there for the sake of technical verification.
Ye Changsheng also wondered if Shen Hanmeng had been bullied or something.
Now, everything suddenly makes sense.
If Shen Hanmeng is the mastermind behind it all, then the technology of the survival pod must be developed in order for the plan to succeed.
When faced with challenging problems, Shen Hanmeng was the most eager and eager. He was willing to give more and get involved himself, conducting experiments that others dared not do.
"No... Dr. Shen, what's wrong with you?" Ye Changsheng asked, puzzled. "What happened to make you change like this?"
Shen Hanmeng slowly said, "Actually, it's quite simple. Since I started researching the Star Chief, my understanding of black holes and monster hordes has become increasingly profound."
During this period, I systematically studied the patterns of black holes and monster tides over the past few thousand years.
Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that the number of black holes is showing an increasing trend overall!
Later, I took charge of the 'Mechanical Demon King' project. During this time, I also conducted a detailed study of the patterns of the strong over thousands of years.
Excluding the sudden drop in the number of powerful individuals over a century ago, the quantity and quality of powerful individuals have actually been on a steady downward trend for thousands of years.
Through this cycle of prosperity and decline, I've come to a conclusion—humanity's future may not lie on this land.
If the future is here, and if we can prosper here, why are there fewer and fewer of our strong individuals, while black holes and monsters are increasing?
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to me.
Is this a window of opportunity to escape from the ancient "Great Flood" to the present day?
This period is the best time for us to develop technology and escape to deep space.
After all, over the years, black holes and monsters have been controlled and eliminated, strong individuals have been able to stabilize the situation, and technology has been advancing.
Perhaps this is the last time we humans can escape.
Of course, such conjectures cannot be verified.
It's at best a conjecture, which I've named the 'Wandering Window Hypothesis'.
What can indirectly prove this are the three curves I summarized:
Black Hole + Monster Faction Growth Curve
Human Power Decline Curve
Human technological development curve
Of these three curves, the first one is increasing upwards, while the second one is declining downwards.
The point where the two curves intersect signifies that the human forces have reached their limit in suppressing the monsters. Our approach to suppressing the monsters shifts from aggressive expansion to passive defense.
What is meant by aggressive expansion? It means that for the past few thousand years, wherever there were monstrous beasts, we were able to immediately suppress and eliminate them, maintaining peace throughout the world.
Back then, the monster tide was like a game of whack-a-mole; whoever dared to show their face was suppressed.
What is passive defense? It's what happens after the bizarre apocalypse. Faced with the horde of monsters, we're still on the defensive, but in order to suppress them, we have to give up a lot.
For example, combating bizarre scenes.
I predicted back then that when these two curves intersect, it might be the time when a catastrophe will befall us.
However, the specific calculations are not that simple.
The development of human technology, including the technology of unorthodox energy, will also affect the curve. We must also consider the extreme scenario where no new powerful individuals emerge.
After comprehensive calculations, I finally obtained a curve graph.
The intersection of the curves, in terms of timeline, is within two years of the bizarre apocalypse.
In response to this catastrophe, I commissioned another scientist to write a report on this icon, along with the 'wandering window hypothesis,' and submitted it to several chief scientists.
This report also spurred the subsequent construction of a clandestine rocket launch center.
Chief Night, have you seen this report?
When Shen Hanmeng asked him that question, Ye Changsheng shrugged sheepishly.
As a military general, he was indeed not interested in planning or anything like that.
He doesn't read reports, he only reads battle reports.
Ye Changsheng only learned about the voting at the secret launch center after arriving at the venue.
He thought it was alright, so he voted in favor.
Ye Changsheng couldn't help but ask, "I don't quite understand why you would entrust someone else to submit the report in their name? If it were signed by you, I would definitely take a look since it was written by an old friend."
Shen Hanmeng said, "This is a last resort, a way to avoid suspicion."
After all, escaping into outer space is a very sensitive topic.
In particular, my research, whether it's the Star Chief or the Mechanical Ghost King, is related to outer space.
If I submit this report, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Will I be colluding with the Chief Star, or have some kind of vested interest with unknown forces in space?
The review process itself takes a lot of time.
