I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 1022: Project X, and the day when the “super giant solar storm” comes!

Not only the scientists and engineers of the "Planet Shield" are paying close attention to the global joint debugging and testing of this great miracle project, but also the people all over the world are paying attention to this century-level round that is more related to the future of mankind. Big test.

The "planetary shield" cannot be seen with the naked eye, but ultra-high altitude satellites can.

In order to let the people on the ground see the true appearance of the "planetary shield" that protects them, dozens of ultra-high-altitude satellites including Xia China, the United States, and Europe took panoramic photos of the planet from different angles and sent them for free. To all major mainstream media.

Of course, the media will not miss the huge traffic delivered to their doorsteps and rush to publish it.

Hundreds of millions of people either stood on the top of the building and looked up at the blue light pillar, or used their mobile phones to view related photos and videos. As satellite photos continue to be updated, the sensation caused by the "planetary shield" covering the world for the first time is becoming more and more exaggerated.

The title #Look at the Peerless Beauty of Our Planet’s Shield # shot to the top of the trending search lists on major social platforms around the world in less than ten minutes.

The discussion on the Internet is even more heated, with the topic of "planetary shield" being used everywhere.

[Long live, the first round of global joint testing was successful! Does this mean that even if a 'super giant solar storm' is coming soon, we can sit back and relax? 】

【beautiful! So beautiful! The flowing blue fluorescence is more beautiful than any scenery I have ever seen! 】

[The entire planet is wrapped in a blue light curtain. It’s so spectacular. This scene has never appeared in science fiction movies! 】

【Did everyone see it? Renren Daily published a special report not long ago, which stated that the "Planet Shield" plan entered joint debugging and testing from its proposal to completion, during which dozens of extremely difficult problems in materials science, electromagnetism, energy science, and power were overcome. We faced difficulties in scientific research and overcame several negative impacts caused by extremely severe weather, and finally built 7000 launch towers in more than countries around the world! No wonder Academician Qin said this is the greatest miracle in the history of human scientific research and engineering! nice! Salute to the scientific research heroes! 】

[Yes, there are countless famous and unknown heroes who have created such a miracle. Of course, I think the most powerful one is our Academician Qin. Without him, there would be no "Planet Shield" plan, let alone such a great achievement today. ! 】

[Great, I feel more and more hopeful about the future. This unbearable extreme weather is finally coming to an end... As he spoke, a fat man put on a sweat-soaked T-shirt with tears in his eyes. He said that after walking outside for three days, It was so hard to endure the days when I was sweating profusely within minutes and almost suffering from heat stroke. 】

[I think last winter was the most difficult one. The double-layer cold-proof glass in my house was frozen... I am a native of the south. I never thought that I could see snow without leaving the province, let alone that I could see snow in the south. I have seen the blizzard that is rumored to only occur in the Northeast! The days when the air conditioner and heater are turned on and I’m still shivering from the cold while wrapped in a quilt are really intoxicating...]

[I am now looking forward to the "super giant solar storm" in mid-August coming soon. I believe that Academician Qin and the others will turn crisis into opportunity and reverse the extremely abnormal climate conditions of our planet in one fell swoop! 】

While people on the Internet and in society are beginning to be filled with excitement and confidence in defeating future catastrophes, all the scientific researchers and staff participating in this global joint debugging test of the "Planet Shield" are still busy nervously.

The "decision-making team" headed by Qin Ke gathered in the large conference room of the "Chief Scientist Building" and listened to real-time reports at all levels.

This place has been officially upgraded to the "Planet Shield Project Command Center" a month ago. In addition, there are more than 20 command sub-centers in various countries around the world, all of which are headed by top scientists from each country and are responsible for handling hundreds of cases in their respective areas. There is an emergency issue with the launch tower.

According to the test plan, this first round of global joint debugging testing is only about an hour, which is not long, but of great significance.

You must know that the "Planet Shield" mainly relies on the artificial intelligence AI "Shimmer" to operate. However, because "Shimmer" lacks sufficient test data for learning and analysis, more than half of the current emergencies still require a team of up to 9 people. A team of engineers and technicians will assist in solving the problem.

Striving to complete the optimization and adjustment of the unfolded "Planet Shield" within one and a half months, especially providing enough test data and reports, so that the artificial intelligence can "learn and evolve" to a level sufficient to cope with most emergencies, is the next work focus.

This first round of global joint testing is a top priority. It is not only related to the morale and confidence of people around the world, but also related to the subsequent overall testing plan, which cannot be missed.

Everyone who participated in this round of testing tensed up their nerves. Ning Qingyun, Brian Schmidt, Andre Haim, Kajita Takaaki and others were all paying attention to the latest testing news from various places. Qin Ke Ze silently watched the fast-beating data on the big screen, and his mind automatically transformed it into a "panoramic view of the operating status of the planetary shield" that only he could see, and issued instructions from time to time:

"There are cracks on the inner wall of the No. 2883 reactor of the 1rd launch tower of the 'Zhu Rongzhi Light' with the serial number 17. It should be caused by the aging of the material. Immediately switch to the spare No. 7 reactor and arrange for a robot to repair and replace the No. 1 reactor. 's inner wall.

"The input voltage value of Function Module No. 1031 of the 99st Launch Base Tower needs to be increased by another 3%. Yes, this value has exceeded our original planned value, but it is very necessary and should be implemented immediately!"

"The vibration feedback of the 4278th launch tower turret base is abnormal..."

When Lao Tao and Edward came back from the corridor outside, they saw such a tense and busy scene.

Lao Tao sighed softly: "As expected, no one can be missing Qin Ke."

"Yeah... I used to only believe in the truth, but now I begin to believe that there really is a 'god of scientific research' in the world." Edward nodded in approval.

Various abnormal data are actually displayed on the big screen, but if Qin Ke had not quickly determined the core problem and issued processing instructions, the response efficiency of the distracted commanders in various places would have been greatly reduced. This large-scale test would never be as it is now. So smooth.

Seeing Qin Ke's concentration, Lao Tao couldn't help but said: "Edward, let's go. It's time for us to return to our posts. We can't put all the pressure on Qin Ke. It's precisely because of his irreplaceability that we must make every effort." Lighten his burden."

As the test progressed smoothly, various reports soon began to come back.

"The report shows that the power of electromagnetic laser cannons in the current 7000 launch towers is basically stable at 85%. Among them, the power of 7 launch towers has experienced short-term abnormal fluctuations. After artificial intelligence adjustments, they all recovered after 30 seconds. to a stable state!”

"Report, 7000 electromagnetic barriers have been spliced, and the automatic energy rebalancing system at the splicing points has been successfully started!"

"Report, the 'Planet Shield' has successfully completed the entire deployment process, and all indicator values ​​are within the normal range!"

"Report, it is detected that about 7 million tons of charged particles and high-energy charged particles from the universe are hitting the 'planetary shield', and they are all successfully resisted by the 'planetary shield'! The number of cosmic particles entering the planet's magnetosphere has been reduced by 95%! "

The voice of the reporter at the back could not contain his excitement, which meant that the first goal of this round of testing had been achieved.

Cosmic particles such as charged particles and high-energy charged particles from the universe are shooting towards the blue star all the time. Originally, the magnetosphere formed by the blue star itself was enough to withstand such small-scale impacts, but as the magnetic field at the north and south poles of the planet became chaotic, , the magnetosphere also became chaotic.

The most obvious feature is that the magnetic sheath, magnetic field lines, and magnetic tails are compressed or stretched to varying degrees, and overlapped.

The chaos of the magnetosphere has caused its protective effect against cosmic particles to become weaker and weaker.

According to monitoring data, in the past half year, increasingly high-density particles have penetrated the blue star's magnetosphere and entered the atmosphere. These high-speed charged particles will hit molecules in the atmosphere and produce lethal radiation, while also causing near-Earth Abnormalities in satellite and GPS navigation functions are becoming more and more frequent. Last year alone, more than 70 satellites experienced malfunctions in their internal integrated circuit chips and components due to being hit by high-energy particles from the universe.

The most frightening thing is that if this situation continues for several years, human physical fitness will continue to decrease, and the probability of illness will skyrocket.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of testing or from the perspective of protecting this blue planet, after the "planetary shield" is deployed, it will continue to operate and be continuously optimized and adjusted as much as possible until the "super giant solar storm" comes. It will be shut down for the last inspection before the attack, and then restarted.

Even after completing the task of resisting the "super giant solar storm", the "planet shield" will not end its operation immediately. It will continue to protect the planet for about two months, until the magnetic field completely returns to normal and the ultra-high altitude magnetosphere It will stop after the normal function of resisting cosmic rays from outer space is restored. ——After all, after the planet’s magnetic field is adjusted, it also needs a period of automatic equilibrium recovery. Just like if a person’s leg is broken, after the bone is reattached, he has to rest for a month or two to let the bone grow back before he can slowly resume walking. .

Qin Ke counted the time and continued to issue instructions: "Inform the 'Second Group' to start the second phase of testing, and inform the 'Third Group' to prepare for the third phase of testing!"

The second phase of the test is to use the energy transfer and concentration function of the "planetary shield" to gather cosmic particles over the north and south poles, forming a strong magnetic field effect and restoring the planet's chaotic magnetic field in one fell swoop.

The third stage of testing is naturally to convert the energy of cosmic particles into kinetic energy, counteract the gravitational wave anomalies caused by the sun, and adjust the orbit and rotation slope of the planet.

The current energy level of these cosmic particles is hundreds of millions of times different from the "super giant solar storm", which is just used as a test.

……

Time flies by in the midst of tension and busyness.

"Reporting to Academician Qin, except for the test process numbered 'X' which remains in preparation status according to your instructions, all other test processes have been executed as planned! The error between the second and third stage test results and the simulation results is within 2% Within the acceptable range!”

Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief and announced with a bright smile: "This round of testing has ended successfully. Although there are still many areas for improvement, it is generally a success and is in line with our original simulation test results. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Succeeded! We succeeded!" The command center and more than 20 command sub-centers around the world suddenly erupted in undisguised cheers and screams of excitement. Many people were so excited that they hugged each other and shed tears.

This is the fruit of success that they worked day and night, burned the midnight oil, and put in countless sweat and even tears!

Qin Ke's heart was also full of joy and excitement. It was by no means an easy task for the "Planet Shield" project that he single-handedly promoted to come to this day.

But he didn't have time to immerse himself in excitement, there was still an important test waiting for him.

"Qingjun, Lao Tao." Qin Ke winked at Ning Qingjun and Lao Tao, and handed over the command of the scene to Edward. He led the two of them to another room next to them filled with precision instruments. In the small room, more than a dozen researchers were already waiting here. When they saw them, they immediately stood up and saluted and said hello.

Qin Ke nodded to everyone: "Are you ready for the test of 'Project X'?"

The middle-aged man at the head said respectfully: "Report to Academician Qin that all preparations are in place."

Before Qin Ke could speak, Lao Tao suddenly took the initiative and said: "Qin Ke, this time I will do the test of 'Project

Qin Ke couldn't help but laugh: "Old Tao, are you afraid of danger?"

Lao Tao blinked: "You know, I have always been very interested in new things. No matter what, I must be the first to try them."

"Okay, you come first. First of all, let me explain that this test is very safe, but it will consume more brain cells. If you are over-brained, you may vomit like a severe motion sickness..."

Lao Tao insisted: "Although I'm not as powerful as you, when it comes to brain cells, I should be no worse than others."

In the end, Lao Tao was the first to take over the "helmet" and put it on.

This is a device that looks a bit like a "consciousness immersion game login device" in a science fiction movie, with thousands of tiny cables connected to it.

"Start the test!" Lao Tao said while sitting on the recliner.

……

Half an hour later, pale-faced Lao Tao and Ning Qingyun walked out of the small room with the support of Wei Feng and Wei Jing respectively. Qin Ke, who also looked a bit pale, followed behind. The clothes under the white coats of the three of them were Already soaked with sweat.

Lao Tao looked at Qin Ke who could still walk on his own, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Qin Ke, are you a human being? Xiaoning and I couldn't last 30 seconds in this test, but you can't After holding on for twenty minutes, can you still stand up and walk normally? "

Qin Ke felt that his condition was slowly recovering, so he reached out to hold Ning Qingyun's other arm and replied to Lao Tao with a smile: "What am I if I'm not a human being?"

"Well... at least on the surface you still look like a human being like me. I can only envy, envy and hate the unfairness of the Creator for producing a peerless genius like you who is comparable to a god."

"Old Tao, you are known as the 'genius among geniuses', you are not qualified to say this, otherwise mathematicians all over the world will have the urge to strangle you." Qin Ke said with a smile, turned around and said warmly Asked Ning Qingyun: "Honey, are you feeling better?"

Ning Qingyun nodded weakly, but bit her lip unwillingly and said: "It seems that it will be difficult for Brother Tao and I to become your 'B'."

"It's okay. 'Project

Ning Qingyun looked at Qin Ke's face, which was also drained of color due to overuse of his brain. His pink lips moved, but in the end he withdrew his words of persuasion.

She knew Qin Ke too well. When the "in case" time came, Qin Ke would definitely step forward and shoulder this heavy burden, even if his vitality was seriously damaged.

God, please bless the "Planet Shield" plan to go smoothly, and don't let Qin Xiaoke take on this heavy responsibility that is difficult to bear...

……

News of the success of the first round of the global joint debugging test program spread throughout the world like wings. There were cheers wherever it went, and people's confidence and courage to fight against natural disasters doubled.

But for Qin Ke and others, the success of the first round of testing only represents a firm step forward. There are still many problems exposed in the testing that need to be solved and optimized.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of scientific researchers and engineers related to the project were put into intense work.

The hand of time turned over the calendar, and in the blink of an eye it turned to the page of August 8th.

According to the prediction model, today is the day when the most critical "super giant solar storm" related to the future of mankind will arrive!
