My science and technology museum

Pluto still has more than six years left for human civilization. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable to have a sense of urgency. Even if you waste the slightest time, you will feel guilty. Xu Lei also felt guilty after spending the Spring Festival with his parents. Get to work quickly.

Li Chengzhe and others are in charge of space kinetic energy weapons, and it is already a very stable project.

The required space kinetic energy weapons can definitely be produced on time.

So no need to pay special attention.

The planned planetary defense orbital gun is even more technologically mature and can also complete the equipment for the orbits of Mars and Earth in the remaining time.

In addition, major overseas forces have concentrated their resources on the manufacturing of interstellar battleships and various components, which has increased the power to deal with Pluto. Even if Xu Lei does not invest too much energy, Xingtong can handle all matters.

The only problem is the underground dormant base.

In order to ensure that the underground dormant base was successfully built and met the design requirements, Xu Lei launched an on-site visit.

Personally determine the progress of your base's construction.

After all, Hu Xinren has promised that the number of finished biological dormant chambers will exceed one billion units in six years. Although it can save part of the fire for human civilization in the event of a disaster, there is still a lot of space to store these biological dormant chambers. The problem.

It needs to be resolved properly.

The biological hibernation chamber can indeed allow people to sleep for fifty years without any harm to their body functions, but there are also some more stringent requirements.

For example, we need to ensure a constant supply of energy.

The cabin cannot be hit.

As long as any one of these occurs, it may cause problems with the function of the biological dormancy chamber. At that time, the personnel will be forced to wake up, and may even never wake up again.

If this kind of thing really happens, then the biological dormancy chamber will no longer be a thing that preserves the fire of human civilization.

It's just a tomb.

In order to avoid similar situations, the underground dormant base needs to be built strictly in accordance with the design drawings. In particular, there must be no construction violations or fraud to ensure that the base can prevent earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and other earth-planet environments caused by the impact of Pluto. Natural disasters occur due to great changes.

It is also worth mentioning that because of the special geographical location of coastal cities and the cost of building a base on the seabed is too high, the location has been set back a lot.

This results in multiple underground dormant bases appearing in certain areas with suitable locations.

It's more chaotic than other places.

Fortunately, there are intelligent robots assisting, otherwise chaos may break out.

As for the first dormant base Xu Lei went to, it was naturally the underground dormant base located in Binjiang City.

Who made this the base camp of future technology?

Unlike underground dormant bases in other places, Binjiang City's underground dormant base was built with the assistance of Future Technology and dispatched many relevant experts from the research center.

Liu Gaowen was even asked to personally take charge of the specific construction.

After almost a year, the Binjiang City underground dormant base has begun to take shape. When Xu Lei took the Xingtong mechanical body and took the elevator deep underground under the leadership of Liu Gaowen, the bright and spacious huge space suddenly came into view.

People have to praise the power of the infrastructure maniac.

Looking around carefully, you can barely see the walls around the space with your naked eyes. Only a few vague passages leading in different directions catch your eye.

It can be said that it is a vast area.

Although there is no biological dormant cabin here yet, you can already imagine the shock.

I believe that when this underground dormant base is put into use, it will definitely bring a strong visual impact to people.

The shocking feeling cannot be described in words.

I just feel like my heart is beating violently and it's difficult to breathe.

At this time, Liu Gaowen, who was following Xu Lei, quickly introduced the situation in detail: "Congressman Xu, dozens of dormant cabin storage spaces like this have been built in this underground dormant base. They can be accessed through these special passages. Its structure And the construction was completed exactly according to the drawings.”

Xu Lei knew that these spaces were the characteristics of the design drawings of the underground dormant base.

If a very huge space is excavated deep underground alone, a so-called cavity will be formed, which will inevitably lead to greater risks when the environment changes.

It is very likely that it will collapse due to an earthquake.

And the result of this was that all the dormant cabins were smashed and buried deeply.

Therefore, for safety reasons, multiple spaces similar to a honeycomb structure are adopted. In this way, even if one of the spaces collapses, other independent spaces can still ensure the safety of dormant people.

Now it seems that Binjiang City's underground dormant base is very satisfactory from every aspect.

Facts have proved that he still made the right choice by letting Liu Gaowen be in charge of this project.

It can only be said that Liu Gaowen participated in too many future technology-related projects, especially the construction of the original Dengtian Island. It was with these masterpieces that he truly won Xu Lei's trust.

"Very good, I'm very satisfied." He turned around and patted Liu Gaowen's shoulder in praise, then changed the topic to energy-related issues: "How is the current installation of the energy system in the base? The controllable nuclear fusion device is in place. Yet?"

"Report to Congressman Xu."

"Currently, this base is temporarily using Binjiang City's fusion power station energy. The energy system will be installed after all spaces are completed."

"It is expected to take some time." Liu Gaowen did not rely on his close relationship with Xu Lei to put money on his face. He answered these questions very seriously, and it can be seen that he really wants to do a good job in the base.

Judging from the current population of Binjiang City, the amount of underground space that will eventually be built in this underground dormant base will definitely not be small.

The energy required by the biological dormancy cabin only requires a controllable nuclear fusion device, so there is no problem in installing the energy system after the space is completed. However, Xu Lei still feels very worried about this problem. curious.

That's why the construction progress of Binjiang City's underground dormant base is so fast.

Before coming here, Xu Lei asked Xingtong to count the construction progress of underground dormant bases reported from various places. Binjiang City's underground dormant base ranked first in the world.

Originally, there were people with future technology in Binjiang City's underground dormant base to help. It was normal for the progress to be faster, but it felt a little strange to go far beyond the back.

The main reason is that Xu Lei did not personally participate in the construction of the base, and some things are not very clear without being on site.

Now I can only rely on Liu Gaowen to solve the problem.

"Binjiang City is able to build an underground dormant base so efficiently because of Chief Engineer Liu's responsibility for everything. If construction continues at the current pace, Binjiang City's underground dormant base will become the first completed base in the world. The significance of this is It’s very profound.”

Faced with Xu Lei's generous praise, Liu Gaowen felt happy, but he did not take the credit for himself.

Then he explained modestly:

"Congressman Xu is so ridiculous. This is all for the future of human civilization. If everyone is willing to contribute, the efficiency will be faster."

"The other thing is to rely more on the support of the military."

"When we first selected the location of the base, we didn't expect that it would be in the area of ​​the Underground Great Wall project. After docking, the military directly handed it over to us for use, so we saved a lot of processes and time by relying on these underground Great Walls."

Xu Lei is no stranger to the underground Great Wall mentioned by Liu Gaowen.

The so-called underground Great Wall is a special channel used to deploy missiles, which has considerable strategic significance.

But now that Yanfang has conquered controllable nuclear fusion technology and built the extremely powerful Shenzhou interstellar battleship, it is naturally difficult for these underground passages to function anymore.

It is indeed very suitable to choose to build an underground dormant base at the moment.

This is equivalent to processing on a semi-finished product, which is completely different from the construction of underground dormant bases from scratch in other areas.

It’s normal that its construction progress ranks first.

"In the future, I will ask the company to start transporting biological dormancy chambers here, and the construction of controllable nuclear fusion devices will also be accelerated, and we will strive to put this underground dormancy base into use as soon as possible to build enough confidence for the public." After thinking for a while, , Xu Lei watched Liu Gaowen and spoke in a deep voice.

Although he is currently a member of the Human Security Alliance, the people at home must be responsible first.

Binjiang City's underground dormancy base is the base camp for future technology. In the future, all company employees and their families must hibernate in advance to prevent problems before they occur, and priority must be given to ensuring the number of biological dormancy chambers.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of the more than one billion biological dormancy chambers will be transported to domestic underground dormancy bases.

After all, who makes overseas people put too much faith in space kinetic energy weapons and planetary defense rail guns, and are unwilling to spend a lot of resources to build this underground base that seems to be of little use? In addition, the Hezbollah organization causes troubles from time to time, and can give them a share. That's pretty good.

The number of biological hibernation chambers is limited.

This is a fact that no one can change, because humans only have six years left.

If there is a chance to produce more, how could Xu Lei be unwilling? You must know that according to past experience, each dormant cabin is worth influence points.

Since it is destined that many people around the world will not be able to use hibernation cabins, then Xu Lei, as the developer and manufacturer of biological hibernation cabins, naturally has the right to choose who can use them.

As for the rest, we can only pray that space kinetic energy weapons and planetary defense rail guns can completely eliminate the influence of Pluto.

When Liu Gaowen heard that the biological dormancy capsule would be delivered soon, he was very happy. He quickly expressed his attitude confidently: "Don't worry, Congressman Xu, I promise to complete the construction of this underground dormancy base in the shortest possible time and preserve it for human civilization." The last fire.”

After confirming the situation of Binjiang City's underground dormant base, Xu Lei was in a good mood.

Because the three-step plan proposed at the Human Security Alliance conference is all proceeding step by step.

Under these three layers of protection, Xu Lei did not believe that Pluto could still pose a threat to Earth. You must know that this is a technology exhibit collected in the Science and Technology Museum.

The gold content can be imagined.

In the next few days, Xu Lei also took Xingtong to underground dormant bases in other cities. Although the construction progress was not as good as that of the Binjiang City dormant base, at least it was carried out in strict accordance with the drawings, and there was no problem of cutting corners.

I believe it will be put into use in six years.

But Xu Lei must be too lazy to go there in person due to the situation overseas.

In the end, it was only proposed at the Human Security Alliance conference to send specialized personnel to supervise verification.

that's all.

As time goes by, more and more advanced equipment are manufactured, and at the same time, the day before Pluto reaches Jupiter is approaching.

…

On April 12, 2031, the first planetary defense orbital gun was successfully deployed into orbit around Mars.

In June of the same year, the manufacturing of the Taishan-2 space kinetic energy weapon was completed.

On August 20, 2033, the Mars military base officially acquired space strike capabilities.

…

On March 9, 2034, the Future Star Battleship successfully passed the start-up test at the Space Shipyard and was declared into service that month.

In May of the same year, the Taishan-6 space kinetic energy weapon left the factory.

On January 28, 2036, the tenth Taishan space kinetic energy weapon left the space shipyard. The space kinetic energy weapon manufacturing project was announced to be over. The shipyard was fully committed to manufacturing the Yas, humanity's third interstellar battleship.

…

…

"This report is all the efforts we have made in the past six years to deal with the Pluto crisis. Now we have the ability to solve Pluto. Based on the observed Pluto orbit data, we will officially launch into space next month. The kinetic energy weapon travels to Jupiter and completes the collision with Pluto.”

Wednesday, January 30, 2036.

virtual reality.

Human Security Alliance Conference Hall.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. With the efforts of the Future Technology Nuclear Fusion Institute and the Space Shipbuilding Factory, ten space kinetic energy weapons have been successfully manufactured.

Plus a new starship, the Future.

Because according to Xingtong's calculations, Pluto is about to reach the orbit of Jupiter. In order to implement the impact plan, humans also need to officially launch all space kinetic energy weapons to fly to Jupiter.

For this reason, Xu Lei specially convened this meeting as a member of the parliament.

It is worth mentioning that according to the original plan, only nine space kinetic energy weapons were needed to have the kinetic energy to impact Pluto and change its orbit. The extra one now was originally used as a backup, but in order to ensure the success of the mission, this Will be sent there together this time.

After all, the purpose of these kinetic energy weapons is to hit Pluto, and leaving one alone is of no use.

On the contrary, it will cause waste.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s in a virtual world, but Xu Lei still looks so young and handsome even after six years.

Compared to the many silver-haired members around him, he was simply out of place.

But looking at anyone present, no one dared to look down upon Xu Lei and looked at the plan completion report with great concentration.

no doubt.

Judging solely from the degree of completion of these three-step plans, mankind is victorious.

But whether it can complete the interference with Pluto's flight orbit as expected is still an uncertain question. After all, there is uncertainty in everything, and no one knows what will happen by then.

But there is no choice for humans.

If these space kinetic energy weapons are not launched, they will collide with Pluto and force it into the orbit of Jupiter to become a satellite.

Then Pluto will reach Mars at an extremely fast speed and eventually hit the Earth.

We must know that the observed diameter of Pluto is as high as more than 20 kilometers, and the actual value may be even higher. In this case, the planetary defense orbital gun deployed in the orbit of Mars may not be able to completely destroy Pluto.

So impact is the most appropriate method.

At this time, the other members sitting in the hall naturally had no objections, and immediately raised their hands to announce that the alliance had approved the launch application of Taishan's space kinetic energy weapon.

In addition, since this is the first head-on collision between humans and Pluto, its actions will also be disclosed to the global audience in the form of a global live broadcast, and everyone will witness this shocking and great scene.

It truly proves that human civilization has the ability to properly deal with extraterrestrial threats.

From a certain perspective, if the crisis of Pluto can be successfully resolved this time, it will become a satellite of Jupiter.

Then mankind will soon enter the second level civilization.

Truly realize free travel in the solar system and explore more unknown areas.

At this moment, Congressman Enoch, who voted in favor, suddenly asked: "Congressman Xu, I wonder how sure we can be of hitting Pluto into the orbit of Jupiter in this operation?"

Different from when he first became a member of parliament, Enoch has obviously become much more stable after these special years of baptism and precipitation.

And he is also truly worried about the safety of human civilization.

The reason is also very simple.

The status and rights he now possesses are all established on the basis of human civilization. If the crisis on Pluto is not resolved and human civilization faces the catastrophe of extinction, then there will be no use saying more.

It can be said that whoever dares to engage in intra-human confrontation now is equivalent to standing against all mankind.

How could it end well?

Sitting in this position, there will be no stupid people.

Xu Lei listened to Enoch's question without hesitation or perfunctory, and answered directly: "According to the calculation results of the brain, the probability of our space kinetic energy weapons colliding with Pluto is as high as 90%." Above, even if Pluto is not captured by Jupiter in the end, its flight path will deviate and will no longer collide with the Earth."

Judging from the calculation results of Xingtong alone, the probability of 90% is indeed very high.

But it's not 100% after all.

There is still a possibility of failure during the impact.

For example, Pluto's flight path did not change as expected.

The establishment of planetary defense orbital guns and underground dormant bases is precisely to prevent this ten percent possibility.

Everyone in the venue learned this number from Xu Lei, but they didn't show much concern, because no matter how they looked at this operation, they had a good chance of winning.

Maybe even the layout on Mars won't come in handy.

Enoch understood and his expression softened a lot, and finally smiled at Xu Lei: "Then I would like to wish Congressman Xu a smooth solution to Pluto and a triumphant return!"

Immediately when the meeting ended, everyone's figures gradually blurred and disappeared, exiting the conference hall.

Because in addition to the ten Taishan space kinetic energy weapons this time, the two interstellar battleships Shenzhou Future, which are currently in official service of human civilization, will also go with them to clear the obstacles ahead and adjust the flight trajectory of the space kinetic energy weapons.

You must know that it will take at least about two months to travel from the Earth to Jupiter, even at one thousandth of the speed of light.

What's more, space kinetic energy weapons are slower than star battleships.

At the same time, in order to keep the space kinetic energy weapon in an accelerated state and hit Pluto with maximum power, there is no way to adjust the flight path too much during the flight.

It is very likely to encounter obstacles from special celestial bodies such as meteorites.

At this time, the role of the accompanying star battleships became apparent.

Moreover, Xu Lei will follow the battleship and personally command this operation, so Enoch specially gave such a blessing.

But what is conceivable is that if Xu Lei successfully solves the crisis on Pluto, he will become a hero for all mankind when he returns to Earth. This honor is unmatched by anyone, and his entire life will be recorded. The history of the development of human civilization.

Binjiang City.

Longhu High-tech Park.

In the room of the headquarters building, Xu Lei came out of the virtual cabin, took the coat handed by Chen Shihe and put it on, and asked casually: "Have you notified everyone?"

"The core personnel of Future Technology Company, as well as the main scientific researchers of the research center and institute have been notified, and some are already waiting in the conference room." Facing Xu Lei's inquiry, Chen Shihe answered with a gentle voice.

But if you look closely, you can see a little worry in his eyebrows.

She knew that Xu Lei was going to personally command this operation on a battleship, but after all, he was going to the distant Jupiter, so it was inevitable that she would be worried about Xu Lei's safety.

However, this matter was related to the survival of the entire human civilization, so she had no reason to dissuade her.

And Xu Lei and Chen Shihe have lived together for so many years, how could he not know what she was thinking? He immediately turned around and reached out to hold each other's cheeks, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, this time is mainly to complete the space mission." In the mission of the collision between kinetic energy weapons and Pluto, the battleship will only assist but not participate."

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back safely." As if he didn't expect Xu Lei to make such a sudden move, Chen Shihe murmured softly with a slightly red face.

The two of them did not waste any more time and immediately walked towards the conference room.

What Xu Lei wanted to participate in today was not just a virtual meeting of the Human Security Alliance. In addition, he also held a special large-scale meeting, bringing together the company's core personnel and scientific researchers from research centers and institutes.

It is not only a summary of the work of the past few years, but also an arrangement of follow-up tasks.

This trip to Jupiter will take at least a few months. If the Pluto crisis is successfully solved, everyone will be happy. If there is a 10% accident, the company must be prepared in advance.

People in the company and the research institute undoubtedly attached great importance to Xu Lei's sudden meeting.

They arrived at the large conference room of the headquarters building on time.

When Xu Lei and Chen Shihe pushed open the door and walked into the conference room, they saw that it was already filled with familiar figures.

And everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Xu Lei, with excitement flashing in their eyes. Everyone knew that the most critical day in the history of human civilization was coming.
