Chapter 527: The Torrent of Steel Can Regain Its Past Glory
In the Pacific Ocean, an environmental task force affiliated with the United States was tracking and analyzing the eighth continent, the world's most famous garbage continent, and soon all the data was gathered on the working boat.
Vera, the project leader, frowned when she looked at the data, turned her head to look at the person operating the computer on the side and said, "Teucer, are you sure there is nothing wrong with your GPS system."
"Head, my GPS system is the latest data that was just upgraded half a month ago, and at the same time, my computer is the latest model I bought two months ago, and there is no problem with the data," Teucer said with a smile on his face.
Vera shook her head, "We people on the West Coast are in trouble, the ecological situation on the West Coast has deteriorated enough, and now it seems that in a few years, the West Coast of the United States will be surrounded by garbage."
"When the time comes, it will be difficult to prevent the virus from breeding, and a new round of great migration will begin."
"Head, why are you so pessimistic, what's wrong?" asked Teucer.
"The garbage continent drifted fourteen meters to our coast last year, and according to the analysis of submarine currents, this speed is accelerating, and this year it is expected to reach a record drift of more than twenty meters," Vera said the results.
"God, how can this be" Teucer began to lose his composure.
The other staff were also very shocked, and immediately gathered around, all of them were professionals, able to understand all kinds of data, and after reading the information, everyone's faces were gloomy.
"Vera, this must be reported, it must be made public," a staff member said.
"No, this matter can be reported, but not publicized, because it will cause panic among the people living along the coast," another staff member said directly.
Then, everyone divided into two factions and began to quarrel, each with its own reason, and many people were worried that the government would suppress the matter and not release it, so they were very supportive of making this data public.
"That's enough," Vera shouted.
Everyone was stunned, and turned to look at Vera, don't look at Vera as a woman, but Vera is very prestigious.
"Gentlemen, report this and keep it public, don't speak yet, listen to me," Vera said as she looked at the crowd, calming the man who was about to stop her from speaking.
"Gentlemen, even if the garbage continent maintains a speed of thirty meters per Chinese New Year's Eve, it will take many years to reach the United States, don't forget, it is more than a million meters away from the mainland of the United States"
"What's more, the garbage continent was still drifting in the direction of Asia in the past few years, and now it has changed its direction, will it change direction again in a few years?"
"We can't predict the ocean currents under the sea, and we can't know the rules of them, and if we announce this news now, it will cause panic for the coastal residents and cause them a lot of losses."
"If any of you can guarantee that the Garbage Continent will not change direction and will drift to the shores of the United States, I can unify your public demands," Vera said and looked at everyone.
Everyone was silent, Vera was right, it would take many years for the garbage continent to drift to the United States, and it was obviously a bit inappropriate to issue an early warning now.
Vera smiled when she saw everyone's expressions, "Okay, everyone is working normally, maybe in ten or eight years, the garbage continent will change direction again."
Everyone started to get busy, but one person took a deep look at Vera and turned to go out, Vera said hello to many people and left the studio to get some air outside.
Walking out of the cabin, I saw a person sitting on the deck railing looking at the garbage continent in the distance, Vera walked directly over "Lille, what are you looking at".
Lille didn't look back and said "Vera, why don't you tell them the truth".
"Why should I say how they would react if I told them that the speed of the garbage continent drifting is more than 60 meters, and the speed is still accelerating?"
"The data just over 20 meters has already made many people nervous, and if they say the real data, they will go crazy"
"Besides, even if you maintain a speed of 100 meters per year, it will take many years to reach the United States, and it doesn't make any sense to say it or not," Vera said, leaning on the railing and looking at the sea.
"As for the extreme weather, the extreme weather has accelerated the speed of the garbage continent, and it is not impossible to drift hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters in more than a year."
"You know very well that extreme weather phenomena around the world are getting worse every year," Lille said, turning his head to look at Vera.
"So what, even if he drifts at a speed of one thousand meters a year, a distance of more than 1.6 million meters, how many years will it take to reach the mainland of the United States, how to convert it I don't need to say more," Vera countered unceremoniously.
"As for the spread of germs, there are no fish around the garbage continent, and even if there are, they are dead, and there are more than 20 kinds of germs that we have detected alone."
"What happens once the sea brings these germs to the shores of the United States, and the currents formed by a strong typhoon can reach several kilometers, and at the current frequency, you think it will take years."
"You don't know the degree of pollution along the coast of the United States, there is a breeding ground for these germs, and once the germs migrate, they will directly take root and sprout and spread rapidly," Lille directly retorted, based on facts.
"Lille, I know what you said, I will write it truthfully in the report, we are just workers, not decision-makers, and we all signed a confidentiality agreement before we set off."
"A lot of people in our group are counting on this project to live, and once we do something that violates the rules, a lot of people lose their financial resources, and they are all people with families"
"It's good to let those big people worry about this, we can do our job well, for the sake of secrecy, they will definitely not disband our group, and the income will be guaranteed for the next few years"
"Lille, don't smash these people's jobs" Vera turned around and left after saying these words.
Lille looked at Vera's back and began to ponder, Vera said very realistically, there are thirty-eight people in the project team on the ship, and more than twenty have no other part-time jobs, and they are really unemployed when they leave the project team.
For a while, Lille looked at the sea in the distance ..............and sighed.
That night, Vera submitted her report, which was analyzed in great detail, especially the presence of the germ.
The next afternoon, Vera received a phone call and stayed alone on deck for about half an hour, and finally stood there for a while before returning to the cabin.
Vera clapped her hands, focusing everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the relevant departments are very satisfied with our work, and from next month, everyone's salary will be increased by 1,000 dollars, and the period of work will be extended temporarily and indefinitely."
"All we have to do is sign a new non-disclosure agreement," Vera announced, and the crowd immediately began to cheer, with only a few people noticing the anomaly.
Two days later, the new confidentiality agreement was printed out, signed by everyone and sent back to the relevant departments through the Internet.
The salary has risen by a thousand, which is really not easy to get.
Hawaii, the weather monitoring center, everyone is busy, a cyclone is already forming, I don't know how far it will eventually develop, and I don't know how much impact it will have.
It's just that, according to the procedure, the standard for issuing a warning is not yet available.
Hangzhou, Tianqi Technology Headquarters, Xu Ping'an watched a physical experiment on the third basement floor, a regional gravity fixation experiment, this time the experiment was at the top secret level.
By installing a unique device on the surface of an object, a gravitational zone is artificially created to block the attack of bullets and rockets.
This layer is made of three layers of soundproofing materials, which have just been renovated and are made of the latest soundproofing materials from the Tianqi Institute of Advanced Materials.
The five-layer sound-dampening material, which is also the latest material used, has just been refurbished and renovated to prevent sound from coming out.
In the middle of the huge field, a huge round ball, the top of the ball is full of protrusions, and at the bottom, there are dense wires, and many people are walking back and forth in dust-free clothes for the final inspection.
Xu Ping'an, Qiao Yicheng, the two of them watched in a special protective room, this kind of glass is also special, you just shoot a rocket at the glass, you can't break the glass.
Moreover, this kind of glass is three-layered, and the protection is very in place, and the safety factor is extremely high.
Qiao Yicheng was notified, came to the side of the need and whispered, "President, it's all ready."
"Let's start," Xu Ping'an said.
Qiao Yicheng stepped aside, pressed the button, and said to a microphone, "Start the test."
As the personnel began to evacuate, a ten-man squad appeared, three with fully automatic rifles, two with bazookas, and the rest with protective shields.
The guns were specially approved by the relevant departments, but the bazookas were not the same, they were secretly smuggled over, and they were taken away immediately after the experiment, and there must be no harm left behind.
The rest of the scientists had already been evacuated, and the equipment had begun to be activated, and after a short time, the captain of the team waved his hand, and three men armed with automatic rifles began to aim.
The captain said "fire".
"Da Da .... "Three tongues of fire fired at the huge metal ball.
Xu Ping'an and Qiao Yicheng both looked stupid, everything in front of them subverted your cognition, and all the bullets hovered around the metal balls one by one.
Just hovering eerily in mid-air.
Seriously, these security guards also eat, this is a fully automatic rifle, and the bullet with amazing lethality is actually hovering in the air, which obviously defies reality.
"Rocket preparation," the captain said with a straight face.
The two men immediately began to load the rockets and aimed, took a step forward to set up the bazookas, and aimed at the huge metal balls.
"Launch," the captain shouted.
"Whoosh" two rockets flew towards the metal ball, and the sound of two explosions was heard, and after the rockets were fired, the people immediately squatted down and hid behind the shield to avoid being accidentally injured by shrapnel.
When the fire dissipated, everyone was surprised, including the experimenters, Xu Ping'an was the same, the huge metal ball was unharmed.
There were also many fragments of rockets fixed around, and the impact of the explosion knocked some of the bullets that were hovering in the air flying.
The project team began to cheer, and the security team was completely dumbfounded, this is too awesome, the rockets are useless.
If such a device were to be installed on a tank, the power would be unimaginable.
Groups of heavy tanks were pushing forward in the queue, all the enemy's weapons were useless, and all the anti-tank weapons were ineffective.
Torrents of steel can be restored to their former glory.
Only I bombarded you with cannonballs, and your cannonballs had no effect on me, and this picture appeared in everyone's minds, and everyone was excited.
Xu Ping'an reacted and began to applaud, Qiao Yicheng accompanied him and applauded, Xu Ping'an came to the front of the megaphone, pressed the button and said, "Congratulations, you have created a miracle."
After speaking, he turned to look at Qiao Yicheng, "This project must be sealed, top secret + level, and all the personnel of the project team will be relocated to Aidelius Island"
"Inform Chen Fansheng and Coaster that the two project teams over there have also moved over together, and the mechanics project teams are all placed on the island of Adrius."
"If there are researchers who are unwilling to go over, sign a ten-year confidentiality contract with them, sign and compensate them according to the strictest standards, and make it clear in advance that once the data is leaked, the price must be paid."
"Apocalypse Group will definitely pursue the matter to the end, and it will not be allowed to engage in this research for ten years, and this clause must be clearly reflected in the contract"
"Yes, I'll arrange it immediately," Qiao Yicheng said directly, understanding the strength of this project.
"Don't forget, completely destroy the things that don't change," Xu Ping'an said meaningfully.
Qiao Yicheng understood that items such as bazookas must be completely swept away, and must not appear in the Apocalypse Science and Technology Park, "I will start sweeping the tail immediately".
Xu Ping'an nodded and patted Qiao Yicheng on the shoulder, turned around and left, and the surrounding bodyguards all left, Qiao Yicheng immediately arranged for a thorough inventory of the entire basement.
Not a single piece of shrapnel can be kept, all of them are collected and transported out, domestic is different from abroad, this is contraband, once it is found, it is a big deal.
