Chapter 559

Mei Tui slid her hand up from Liberia on the west coast of Africa, across the Sahara desert to the East, and stopped on the land bordering the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. It is the mouth of the Nile, the longest river in the world, and the most prosperous place in Africa. Now, the golden land has been covered with red. When the professor's finger clicks it, the window data shows:

City: Egypt

Population: 22.8 million

Sales volume: 323089 sets

Number of users: 792309

Mei Tui smiled with her pipe in her mouth. This figure is enough to stand out from most cities and regions in the world. At the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about the sales of space boxes in the Arab world and the Middle East, where the strong religious color and national concept would exclude all foreign and new things. Moreover, the dream guide set irrelevant creator gods that were contrary to their beliefs. Later facts showed that sales in the rest of the Middle East were difficult except Israel. However, Cairo is an exception.

Mei Ziqing felt very strange when she saw this data. She sighed: "they say Cairo is the headquarters of the Arab World League. I didn't expect them to dream so much!"

Mei Tui smiled and said, "the ancient Egyptian pharaohs cast a spell on that land, and the Arabs can't change anything."

"Professor, you are really kidding!" said Mei Ziqing.

"Maybe it's not a joke!" Mei was very happy. "The president of Egypt once wanted to tear down the pyramids. Although he was opposed by the whole world, why did they care about the poor public opinion pressure from the outside? In the end, they didn't do anything. I'm afraid there are some other reasons besides that the pyramids can really help them make money."

"What's the reason? Don't tell me that the people who went to dismantle the tower were cursed by the Pharaoh!"

"Then only they know."

Mei Tuo looked at the map carefully, reached out and operated on the interface, enlarged the map of Egypt, and then forced a point in Cairo.

"You see, it's amazing. The estuary of the world's longest river is just near the intersection of 30 ° east longitude and 30 ° north latitude."

He said to himself, then slid the map with his hand, all the way East, onto the territory of China, and enlarged the position of the Yangtze River Delta.

"The estuary of the world's third longest river, well, although the position deviates a little, it is also roughly near 120 ° E and 30 ° n. It is also the coordinate position of Sanwu area."

Mei Ziqing didn't know why and asked, "Professor, what do you want to say? I don't quite understand!"

The professor said he put his hand back to Cairo, then translated all the way eastward and said, "starting from the Giza pyramid, move 90 longitudes eastward along the 30 degree line of north latitude, and here we are - this is our current position!"

"Is this a coincidence?"

"Coincidence?... Oh, maybe. But what if we continue to move 90 longitudes eastward? Guess where?"

The professor's hand continued to translate slowly along the 30 degree north latitude line, while Mei Ziqing had already calculated the longitude and latitude in her mind and turned her eyes to the North Pacific basin north of the Hawaiian ridge. However, there was nothing but a blue ocean.

Mei Tuo's hand just gently clicked there and suddenly turned south, moving south along the 150 ° west longitude line to the intersection of the 30 ° south latitude line.

"Ah, that's --" Mei Ziqing exclaimed in surprise, "the place where the underwater pyramid was found! It's also the place where the scientific research ship had an accident!"

Mei Ziqing suddenly understood something, but she was not sure. She murmured, "90 degrees east, 90 degrees east, and 60 degrees south. What does this mean..."

Mei Tuo didn't answer her question. Her finger continued to move eastward to near 60 ° west longitude and 30 ° south latitude. She nodded there and stayed for a while.

"Where is that?" asked Mei Ziqing.

"The corner between the Salado River and the Parana River." Mei tried to hold her pipe, her eyes narrowed, and her fluffy white hair was like a cloud in the smoke.

"Look at the positions of these four points. Did you find anything?"

Mei Ziqing fell into meditation. "The four points are 90 ° different in longitude, but the latitude is inconsistent. Does it matter?"

Mei tried to call up the software operation interface on the screen. After a few clicks, the world map became a three-dimensional slowly rotating earth. The four points he pointed were still there, and the two were connected by dotted lines to form a rectangular plane. This plane is at an angle of 30 ° to the equatorial plane of the earth, dividing the earth into two halves.

When the earth rotates, the plane shadow composed of four points forms a projection belt on the earth's surface, covering a wide area from 30 degrees north latitude to 30 degrees south latitude, which is equivalent to wrapping a belt around the earth.

"In fact, it doesn't matter..." Mei tried to bite her pipe, but her eyes looked to the east of the Bering Strait and the north of Alaska, where the north magnetic pole is located.

……

Bian Ziyuan sat in front of the computer, finished writing the last page of the report, checked it and sent it out through the internal fuel tank.

Since the third generation of space box came out, his work has become very easy. The game program has been basically improved, and due to the high degree of intelligence of Cronos, the optimization of the game basically does not need manual operation. The reason why he still has something to do is that he invented the original version of Cronus, so Cronus's optimization program instructions for the game will be sent to him, which will be confirmed by him and then written into a report, which will not take effect until signed by May.

The program he invented almost made him lose his job, which may be an irony in the eyes of others, but it is a great encouragement to the remote. People who can stand at the top of the trend of the times are the most successful, but how can they compare with those great people who personally push the trend forward by hand!

He believed that Cronus could compete with any trend, and he was the hand that made and promoted the trend.

The only thing Bian Ziyuan doesn't understand is why the professor refused to incorporate dreamnet into the Internet. Although he also knows a little about the awareness of the Internet, it is a great good thing for him. In recent years, people have been discussing the future of artificial intelligence, but none of the cutting-edge AI researchers dare say that AI can produce independent consciousness, even his Cronus can't.

If the Internet develops to today's scale, it will suddenly produce an independent sense of autonomy, be able to think and improve themselves, what a great discovery! The fate of mankind may change from now on!

From Bian Ziyuan's point of view, the evolution of human body and wisdom has obviously become slow in recent thousands of years, indicating that evolution has entered a bottleneck period. With the development of science and technology today, people begin to focus on the stars and the sea. The vast universe is the future of mankind. Mankind will eventually give up the comfortable home of the earth and look for a broader living space.

However, human bodies have evolved on the basis of adapting to the earth's environment. Once they leave the earth's gravity and magnetic field, human beings cannot survive at all. So now all cutting-edge technologies, including spacecraft and manned spacecraft, must consider the environmental simulation suitable for the human body, including appropriate gravity, air pressure and circular ecology that can be used for a long time. These things have seriously hindered the progress of science and technology and the pace of mankind towards the sea of stars.

"You know, our body is useless! Abandoning the body is the necessity of human development in the future! Only by connecting consciousness to the machine can we go further!"

Bian Zi was so drunk at a meal that he said to Lao Yu, who was also red faced.
