The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 1. Hill came into contact with strange projects.

Just as predicted by the NSA’s Metis system, Galen (Hill)’s Redmoorola Company was developing at an alarming rate in just a few months. expanded and became one of the largest companies in the United States. Galen (Hill)'s personal net worth also expanded rapidly.

In the process, Redemrolla acquired many companies and invested in many projects. Among them, the most high-profile acquisition is the acquisition of Wonderful. This acquisition attracted global attention and brought Galen into the public eye, becoming a hotly discussed rising star in the business world.

Wonderful is one of the world's largest technology giants. The cool technology products it produces are highly sought after by consumers and have changed the lives of a generation. Its founder, Tony Connell, is a respected entrepreneur with a great reputation.

However, in recent years, because Tony Connell has become more idealistic in his work and insisted on spending huge sums of money to invest in several technology projects that were completely divorced from reality, regardless of the opposition of other shareholders, the company's capital chain was broken and it was on the verge of bankruptcy.. The angry shareholders had no choice but to drive Tony Connell out of the company through the board of directors, but this did not help. Vandelife's stock price continued to fall endlessly, and the company's assets still shrank significantly. Tony Connor sadly left the game and was evaluated as"a dream to succeed and a dream to fail".

On the eve of the official declaration of bankruptcy of Wanderlive Company, Galen decided to save this once full of ideal company and acquired it through Redmoorola Company. Although Hill does not think this is a wise deal, considering that the acquisition of Wanderlive will not bring much burden to Redmoorola, and Wanderlive does have many high-quality projects and assets, so Hill finally agreed with Galen's decision.

After the acquisition was completed, Hill set out to reorganize Vandelife's business to tap the value of its assets. During this period, Hill accidentally discovered that Tony Connor had sent people to Japan to assist Kenichi Ito in escaping to the United States. He was quite interested in this, so he learned the ins and outs of the entire incident from employees who knew about it, and learned that Kenichi Ito held the core key to wormhole transmission technology.

Hill knew the significance of wormhole transmission technology, so he deliberately restarted the rescue of Kenichi Ito. However, since this matter has gone beyond the scope of commercial activities and is a dangerous adventure that may cause casualties again and lead to tragedy, Hill is somewhat hesitant about this. Moreover, he himself is still under close surveillance by the FBI. Once the FBI detects his actions and the FBI discovers the existence of wormhole transmission technology, the impact on the world will be unpredictable. This is another factor that he is quite worried about.

Therefore, after repeated weighing, Hill decided to quietly make adequate preparations for the operation to save Kenichi Ito. Wait until the time is right before taking action. Before that, he could only hope that Kenichi Ito would not be found by the Xingilhui too early and fall into the hands of the Xingilhui.

On the other hand, as Redemrolla's reputation grows, its business model is also understood by more and more people. Redemrolla is not a company purely pursuing high profits, it also has a charitable nature. Redemrolla not only earns a lot of income by investing and operating high-yield business projects, it also invests part of its income in charity and establishes various charitable foundations to help poor people and promote human technology. development of.

Therefore, gradually, more and more people in need of help came here and applied for financial assistance from the foundation owned by Redmoorola Company.

Among these people, in addition to the poor who have suffered a hard life due to misfortune, a large number of them are scientific researchers. Due to various reasons, their scientific research projects are unable to obtain commercial capital and government funds, so they can only seek funding from the Redemrola Foundation.

The scientific research projects applying for funding are diverse and complex.

Among them, some projects themselves have very broad prospects, but they have not received widespread support due to moral and ethical restrictions. For example, a professor at San Jose Institute of Technology School of Medicine wants to conduct clinical trials on a group of human trial volunteers, trying to use CRISPR-Cas9 technology to edit and modify the genetic structure of the volunteers to enhance their resistance to certain diseases. As a result, this experiment was protested and opposed by many religious groups, and the original funder of the project had to suspend funding for it due to pressure from public opinion.

And some projects chase some illusory things, which may ultimately be in vain, a waste of manpower and material resources, so that no investors are willing to invest. For example, a geologist from the Romanov State claimed that while investigating the Luohu area in the Western Region of China, he accidentally received a mysterious signal that may have been sent by aliens using special equipment. He believes this is an important discovery and wants to raise funds to form a professional team to conduct further research. This project of"searching for aliens" has aroused the interest of many people, but unfortunately no one is willing to invest real money in it. After all, there are too many such projects, and so far, no one has found conclusive evidence to prove the existence of aliens.

Other projects sound exaggerated and have very low credibility. For example, a professor at a medical school in India claimed that he had met a special human teenager with superpowers. After his research, he discovered that this young man could release powerful energy through nuclear fusion in his body. Moreover, this energy is also controlled by the young man's consciousness, and can change its state and use according to the young man's will, allowing the young man to do many things that ordinary people cannot do. At present, the young man has agreed to cooperate with him in research, but the prerequisite is to maintain the life of the young sister who is already in a brain-dead state. This required an expensive fee that was beyond his affordability, so he applied for funding.

Although the review workload is huge, Galen and Hill still try their best to treat every scientific research project that seeks funding from them, even if some projects seem so weird and ridiculous. Because the two of them believe that there may be unexpected"treasures" buried in these projects that have been ignored by society. Once these"treasures" are unearthed, they can promote the progress of human technological civilization. Therefore, they are willing to be such"treasure hunters""

Section 2. Awakening inspired by the"Book of Changes"

Busy time flies by, and it's midsummer before you know it.

A full seven months have passed since the day Hill appeared.

Although Hill and Galen's lives were getting more and more harmonious, whenever late at night fell and Hill woke up from Galen's sleep, he would always think about some problems unconsciously. These questions lingered in his mind and could never be answered

"Why do I appear in this world? Is it really just a coincidence?"

Deep in Hill's heart, he always felt that he was born for a certain mission. He originally thought that this mission was to make Galen happy. However, as time went by, he began to doubt this more and more. The answer. What was really waiting for him seemed to be a more grand mission. But what it would be, he thought about it for a long time and had no idea.

One night, Hill woke up late at night as usual.. After waking up, he was bored, so he turned on the TV and watched the program on the documentary channel.

A documentary was playing on the TV, and the theme was about deciphering the philosophy contained in the ancient oriental book"The Book of Changes".

Xi Jinping I was very interested in this documentary, so I put aside my distracting thoughts and sat on the sofa to watch it carefully.

The narrator in the program said in a deep and contagious tone:"……《The Book of Changes is one of the oldest and profound classics of Chinese civilization. Legend has it that it was created by Fuxi, the ancient god of creation, and passed down to mankind. It is a book full of mystery and has had a profound impact on Chinese civilization for thousands of years. Throughout the ages, countless people have conducted in-depth research on it, trying to discover its mysteries. People have interpreted it in various ways from different angles based on their own understanding. Historians believe that it is just an ancient book of divination, a tool used by ancestors to predict the future and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Mathematicians consider it the ancient ancestor of binary and electronic computers. Through it, politicians can see the principles of governing the country and maintaining peace and self-cultivation. Philosophers believe that it tells the ultimate law of changes in everything in the universe.

So today, in this program, we will explore the secrets hidden in the"Book of Changes" from a philosophical perspective.

《The main content of the"Book of Changes" is the sixty-four symbolic symbols called"Gua", as well as the names and scriptures corresponding to each"Gua". Therefore, the Bagua diagram composed of"Gua" is the essence of the"Book of Changes". In the eyes of the ancients, the Bagua diagram symbolizes the changes and cycles of the world, and everything in the world can be classified into the Bagua. They often use gossip to explain various phenomena they see in life and various things they encounter. It can be said that in the"universe" they can understand, the Bagua diagram is the imprint of the entire"universe", reflecting the operating laws of the"universe".

In fact, this idea of ​​the ancients is not groundless, but has a mature theory. The core idea of ​​this theory comes from a sentence in Confucius' book"Yi Zhuan" (a book annotating the"Book of Changes")"Yi has Tai Chi, which generates two rituals, two rituals generate four images, and four images generate Bagua." This sentence means that at the beginning of the universe, it was in a state of ethereal and extreme chaos. This state is called"Tai Chi". Later, this state changed, and two basic elements,"Yin" and"Yang", came into being, namely"Liangyi". These two elements are not only opposed to each other, but also interdependent and transform into each other. From this combination, everything in the universe is derived and dominates the changes in the universe. In other words, everything we live in this world, everything we come into contact with and everything we encounter is under the influence and control of"Yin" and"Yang". Therefore, the ancients believed that as long as they could understand the changing laws of"yin" and"yang", they could solve all kinds of mysteries in the world. The Bagua diagram uses simple symbols to vividly deduce the entire process of"yin" and"yang" transformation, which is the key to finding this"yin and yang" law.

Corresponding to the above theory, we can see that the entire Bagua diagram is composed of two most basic symbols. These two symbols are called"Yin Yao" and"Yang Yao", representing"Yin" and"Yang" respectively. The"Qian" hexagram composed of three"Yang Yao" is the starting point of the Bagua and represents the ultimate of"Yang". Then, the power of"Yang" gradually faded, and the power of"Yin" gradually increased, from which the"Yang Yao" and"Yin Yao" intertwined"Dui" gradually evolved."、"The three hexagrams of"Li" and"Zhen". Then, the power of"Yang" completely disappears, reaching the extreme of"Yin", that is, the"Kun" hexagram composed of three"Yin Yao". Then, it is the turn of"Yin""The power of"Yang" gradually decreased, and the power of"Yang" gradually increased, from which the"Yin Yao" and"Yang Yao" intertwined with each other gradually evolved into the"Gen""、"The three hexagrams"Kan" and"Xun". Finally, the power of"Yin" completely disappears and reaches the extreme of"Yang", that is, it returns to the starting point of the"Qian" hexagram. Therefore, the whole process forms a closed cycle. Everlasting, without beginning or end……"

Seeing this, Hill suddenly realized something.

In an instant, many things suddenly flashed through his mind, many things were messy and chaotic.matter. These things were originally unrelated, but now there seems to be a clue connecting them all, pointing to a major"event". As for what this"significant event" actually was, Hill captured only a vague outline.

So Hill closed his eyes, concentrated, and tried to see this"major event" more clearly. Then, suddenly, a large amount of information and thoughts poured into his head like a flood, making his head overwhelmed and giving him a splitting headache. He fell to the ground struggling in pain, the severe pain in his head still getting worse. Until later, he could no longer bear the severe pain and fainted.

But at the moment before he fell into coma, he finally sorted out all the complicated thoughts and got a glimpse of the"major event" in full. Moreover, he also learned his true mission in this world. For him, all mysteries were solved.
