Son of the Stars

Chapter 87 Arguing (updated)
Based on the images captured by the satellite, combined with the vibration analysis of several sets of earthquake monitoring systems, the Ministry of Energy of the coalition government, the North American Comprehensive Investigation Bureau and the Union Guards simultaneously reported the analysis report to the coalition government joint meeting.

This is a fission-like energy release process with an explosion equivalent of at least 40 tons, and the depth of the original explosion point is about ten meters underground.

Neither the Department of Energy, the North American Comprehensive Investigation Bureau, nor the Union Guards can directly confirm that this is a nuclear explosion.The reason is also very simple-the radiation dust that is the signature of a nuclear explosion was not detected around the explosion point, and at the same time, the radiation products such as gamma rays that should be produced during fission were not detected.

Although in terms of power, this explosion definitely involved the atomic level.But without radiation, it means that they cannot guarantee that this is a traditional nuclear explosion caused by nuclear fission.

What if it's nuclear fusion?
In the report of the North American Comprehensive Investigation Bureau, there was also a damage report.Due to the damage and offline of all monitoring facilities in the North American Research Institute, and the severe loss of the North American Comprehensive Investigation Bureau, the entire investigation bureau does not have enough power to conduct real-time monitoring and investigation of the explosion center point.They asked the coalition government to directly dispatch the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau to take over the investigation tasks on the spot.

Five minutes before Lu Chen and others arrived at the review hall of the academic committee, the report was printed out and placed in front of the members of the academic committee divided into four teams.

"It's okay if it's just one or two cases." When Lu Chen and others entered the review hall, these academicians were still discussing fiercely, "There is always a reason to explain why the explosion happened suddenly. If it doesn't work, the problem can be pinned on the cultists." On the head—they won’t refute anyway. But the power is too great, 40 tons!”

"It's not only the equivalent, but also the scale of the damage." Another female academician frowned and said, "A huge pothole suddenly appeared in this place, and there is a town of Rotsville within the absolute killing range. A regiment of the Union Guards. The death toll will exceed [-]—you have to give society an explanation for such a big matter.”

"What's the use of hiding it? You can hide it from everyone for days or even decades, but there will always be a day when you reveal it." Academician Yuan also agreed with this view. He frowned and said, "No matter what excuse you use, you will be caught The concealed facts will come to light sooner or later. At that time, how will people criticize us? The corpse is a vegetarian meal, and the reserve is full, and it may even be said that we are capitulators, disregarding the safety of human civilization for personal selfish desires."

Although these words came from Academician Yuan's mouth, it was a bit strange, but several academicians present nodded in agreement - the group of people cultivated by the Internet really dare to say anything, and dare to put on any hat.

They don't think about whether what they say has any factual basis, let alone how much this kind of speech can hurt other people-whether it will lead to the destruction of the attacked person's family.

If someone were to hold them accountable for their abuse, they would even feel a little wronged.Obviously other people also scolded, why come to me?
Even the academicians of the academic committee have to consider the power of cyberbullying.You also have to consider how other people will use all kinds of extremely vicious guesses to figure out yourself after you have no right to speak.

Not only must their decisions be justified now, but even in the future decades or hundreds of years, they must stand the scrutiny of time.

Lu Chen looked at the group of academicians in the distance with some curiosity. Although he had met them once, the last time he was standing on the rostrum - under the full light, he didn't see the stage clearly at all. What does this group of people look like?

I have never seen them so peaceful and unified.

The other academicians were still exchanging opinions. The academician Sun who was close to the passage turned his head and greeted Lu Shen warmly, "Here you come? Find a place to sit first, and you will be here soon. .”

Lu Chen looked at Fujimoto behind him, then rolled his eyes and sat down - he was really sick to throw up.When he first entered the review hall, he had already ordered a sports drink from the service AI robot to replenish his electrolytes. He hoped that he would feel better after drinking it.

"Ah, our guest has arrived." Academician Yuan, who hosted the discussion on the stage, waved to Lu Chen very happily, "Little Lu, come here."

Lu Chen, whose butt just touched the stool, stood up quickly, and then walked towards the stage.

"Before you answer the question..." Academician Yuan pointed behind Lu Chen, "You drink the drink you ordered first."

Lu Chen turned his head and found a chubby service robot following behind him—its wheels got caught in a section of carpet for some reason.The axle was so squeezed that it couldn't turn.

It looked up at Lu Chen, and said happily, "The sports drink you ordered has arrived!"

Yang Weimin approached enthusiastically, and together with Lu Chen pulled out the carpet stuck in the wheel.Watching his students finish drinking their sports drinks, Yang Weimin let the robot go back.And he also reminded very considerately, "Go around the carpet, and be careful that the carpet gets stuck in the wheel."

Lu Chen, who was a little nervous before, was not afraid at all after being tossed like this.He walked ahead, led a group of people to stand on the rostrum, and then took the initiative to accept the microphone handed over by Academician Yuan.

"We all have limited time, so let's not exchange pleasantries, and just ask the main points." Academician Yuan said bluntly, "According to the order of business, let's ask about the brain resection first, and then talk about quantum interpretation after the discussion is over. The problem of energy syndrome—ah, that’s right.” Academician Yuan turned his head and said to Lu Chen and the others, “You have to thank the group of veterans in the review hall. About 10 minutes after you left, next to the North American Research Institute There was an extremely severe explosion with an estimated yield of at least 40 tonnes."

"The rescue team is already on the way—you were able to withdraw unscathed...you are really lucky." Academician Yuan suddenly turned his head and asked the screen behind him, "Where are Watanabe and the others? They were not affected by the explosion, right? "

Although what they said was "not affected", at least half of the academicians present must be praying that these two brains would be blown up together during the transfer process.

Without the individual, there would be no need for discussion of such retreats.There is no need to worry about making a wrong decision and being repeatedly criticized on the pillar of shame in history.

The screen behind Academician Yuan flickered, and a picture with some jelly effects appeared on the screen.This is a picture of the cabin of a transport aircraft.In the picture, two human brains are placed side by side - one is relatively complete, and the structure of the cerebellum and medulla can still be seen.The other, slightly larger one lacked the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, but still had two eyeballs floating in the jar.

There are many electrodes attached to the two brains, and these electrodes are directly connected to each other.I don't know what the hell this old boy Watanabe is planning.

Behind the two pots, two lean pigs were lying on stainless steel tackle.Two artificial blood vessels protruded from their bodies, but Estella's shadow could not be seen at all in the monitoring screen.The artificial blood vessel is suspended in mid-air just out of thin air, which is strange no matter how you look at it.

Lu Chen clearly heard Academician Yuan "tsk".

"Start asking questions." Academician Yuan picked up the microphone and said, "The first question is from... Ms. Mary."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan." A woman with curly brown hair stood up and asked, "Professor Yang, Dr. Lu, do you think Watanabe and that NO.14...are they still alive?" ?”

Lu Chen didn't understand, so he glanced at Brother Yang, and then gave an affirmative answer: "Of course. Their brains are not dead, and their personalities are not damaged—you can roughly regard them as disabled people with high paraplegia. "

"Dr. Lu, I hope you will be more cautious when answering." Another academician said with a sullen face, "It is believed that the survival of a brain is equal to the survival of a person, which will bring about earth-shaking changes and impacts on the entire society. The brain is just a human being." The brain should not be considered a human being without the participation of other organs."

"You can't intimidate just because Xiao Lu's answer is not what you want." Academician Sun who was sitting in the distance said dissatisfiedly, "Toby, if you don't live, you can bite a lighter, don't scare people!"

Lu Chen only said a word, and the thirteen academicians started arguing again.

　The second update on the shelves...it's too late, I'm really sorry.
