Chapter 78: Putting on a Show (Part I)
The sky was slightly bright, Janet was still asleep in bed, and Chu Tianjiang got up lightly.
After washing, Chu Tianjiang went out on time and arrived at the scientific research center at 6:25. At half-past six, all the other Doomsday Warriors arrived. To everyone's surprise, the morning intensive training was canceled and replaced with free activities, and everyone went to report to Howard at half past one in the afternoon.
What's going on?
Petronovic invited Vincent, Schultz and Costa to a bar for a pastime, but Chu Tianjiang declined the invitation and planned to conduct personal training.
After Costa's arrival, Petrovich became close to the Doomsday warriors of France, Germany and Italy. Chu Tianjiang was very aware of Petronovic's wishful thinking. If Petronovich can win over Vincent, Schultz and Costa, and Chu Tianjiang can entrap Halevy, the strength of their small group will exceed that of the small group of the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia led by Aldrich. It's just that Chu Tianjiang also understands that Petronovic's idea is very unrealistic. Not to mention whether the maverick Halevi will join, and the doomsday warriors of France, Germany and Italy may not be willing to join. Taking a step back, even if Petronovich succeeds, Chu Tianjiang also uses his personal relationship to entrap Halevy, so who is the leader of this small group? It's definitely not Peterovich, and it's not necessarily Chu Tianjiang, because Schultz is the vice-captain. Will Petronovich willingly obey Scholz's command? If this problem is not solved, the small group will not be able to sustain itself.
Seeing it thoroughly, Chu Tianjiang decided to keep his distance from Petronovich.
In addition, Petronovic pestered Janet everywhere, which made Chu Tianjiang feel very uncomfortable. After the bar brawl, the relationship between Chu Tianjiang and Janet was not a secret, and Petronovic still chased and beat Janet fiercely, making it clear that he did not take Chu Tianjiang in his eyes.
With Chu Tianjiang's temper, if it weren't for the overall situation, he would have found an opportunity to clean up Peterovich a long time ago.
Chu Tianjiang did not go to Luo Jinyong, but went to find Tong Shaowei, who specially assisted him in training. Since Luo Jinyong became the head of the Scientific Advisory Committee, he rarely did these trivial things, and even rarely met with Chu Tianjiang, and Tong Shaowei became Chu Tianjiang's "full-time secretary".
"Lao Chu, not today."
"For what?"
"With all the computer resources occupied, a lot of daily tasks can't be carried out properly, let alone training on an adaptive platform."
"Who has the audacity to take up all the resources?"
Tong Shaowei smiled and said, "You should ask who has so much power." I have to take care of the day-to-day work, and if you want to ask for clarification, go to the professor. ”
Chu Tianjiang didn't pester Tong Shaowei anymore and went to Luo Jinyong's office.
Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaogang was also there.
"What kind of wind is blowing you today?" Seeing Chu Tianjiang, Zhang Xiaogang greeted him, as if he was the master here. "Old Chu, it's been a long time. Seeing that your face is ruddy, your hall is shining, and your eyes are bright, you should have had a good time last night. ”
After speaking, Zhang Xiaogang patted Chu Tianjiang's shoulder, looking meaningful.
"I'm going to wait to find you. Honestly, yesterday's ......"
"I arranged it." Zhang Xiaogang readily admitted, "I originally planned to call the professor and celebrate your birthday together." ”
"Lao Chu, yesterday was your birthday?" Luo Jinyong asked.
"Lunar birthday." Zhang Xiaogang answered for Chu Tianjiang. "Something happened, so I can only ask Janet to celebrate for you on our behalf. I specially asked her to make that bowl of longevity noodles, as for the rest, it's all her own arrangement, are you satisfied? ”
No wonder Janet can make longevity noodles, it turned out to be Zhang Xiaogang's arrangement. Zhang Xiaogang worked hard, and Chu Tianjiang certainly couldn't say that he was not satisfied.
"Hey, Lao Chu, you are indeed not ordinary." Luo Jinyong said with a smile, "I have known Lao Zhang for two years, and he has never celebrated my birthday. ”
"Fart. When you passed away last year, I didn't arrange it? If you don't admit it, I'll send someone to get those two chicks back and confront you face to face. ”
"At least you didn't cook longevity noodles for me."
Zhang Xiaogang rolled his eyes and said, "Professor, you're too careful." Not to mention that those two chicks are beautiful, their bodies are particularly hot, and their kung fu is even first-class, can't they even compare to a bowl of longevity noodles? Besides, Lao Chu only had one chick to accompany him last night, so you should be self-sufficient. ”
Now, it was Chu Tianjiang's turn to roll his eyes.
Luo Jinyong shook his head with a smile, and said to Chu Tianjiang: "Old Chu, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”
"The group training has been canceled, I want to do individual training, Tong Shaowei said that the computer is occupied, let me come to you."
"Yes, I'm using a computer, and I definitely won't be able to let you do simulation training today."
"This ......"
"See for yourself." Luo Jinyong called Chu Tianjiang over and asked him to read the information displayed on the computer screen.
"What is this?"
"Hubble-2 space telescope's photos of asteroids, have you noticed these glowing parts?" Luo Jinyong pointed to the photo on the screen. "Burke sent me over last night, and I wrote a mathematical model that takes up all the computing resources of the central processing unit, but I won't get the results until five days later, so you can't train intensively for these five days."
Having ten Doomsday Warriors train intensively requires not only the entire resources of the ten supercomputers, but also the entire resources of the central computer.
"This thing is important?"
"It's very important, I have a very bad premonition."
"What hunch?"
Luo Jinyong sighed and did not speak.
"For a long time, my professor and I felt that we were being led by some kind of force." Zhang Xiaogang walked over and took out a cigarette. "If you think about it, if an extraterrestrial civilization can accelerate an asteroid with a mass of 50 billion tons to the speed of one thousandth of a light, it must have extremely advanced science and technology, and must have mastered the basic theory that we don't know yet. You must know that with the techniques we have mastered now, we can only accelerate a hundred-kilogram object to the speed of one thousandth of a light. According to the theory of relativity, if the accelerated object is not an asteroid with a mass of only a hundred kilograms, then the energy of extraterrestrial civilizations acting on the asteroid can make it reach one-tenth of the speed of light. ”
"That's for sure, what does it have to do with the question you mentioned?"
"The relationship is that the civilization on the ground has such advanced science and technology that it must know our resistance activities well, and can even influence us."
"The decision-makers who control us?"
"No, of course not. If extraterrestrial civilizations can control our minds, we can do nothing, and extraterrestrial civilizations don't need to launch invasions with such fanfare. Zhang Xiaogang paused for a moment and said, "The professor and I believe that extraterrestrial civilizations influence us in some way, make our resistance worthless, and then occupy and control the earth at the least cost. ”
"This ......"
"Until then, it's just speculation." Luo Jinyong took over the topic and said, "Now, we can be roughly sure that this is not speculation. ”
"How can you be sure?"
Luo Jinyong pulled up a program from the computer and displayed it on the screen. "The mathematical model I gave Burke was used to accurately estimate how the surface of an asteroid is divided by luminous parts, and if the luminous parts are junctions, when the cohesion disappears, the asteroid will be dismembered into many fragments, and the number of fragments generated will be determined by the segmentation. To get an accurate estimate, even the fastest computer would take five days and five nights. It's just that I've simplified the mathematical model and I've already come up with a rough result. ”
At this time, a number appeared on the screen: 1200.
"Because it is the result of a rough calculation, the positive and negative deviations are two hundred each."
"You mean, if the asteroid disintegrates, it will produce between a thousand and four hundred fragments?"
Luo Jinyong nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
"This ...... What does this mean? Chu Tianjiang still didn't understand it a little.
Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Five days later, that is, on August 28, all 1,128 super nuclear warheads managed by the Planetary Defense Council will be deployed in place. Counting the secret manufacturing of our country and Russia, the total number of super-nuclear warheads is only 1,134, and perhaps one more. ”
"Lao Chu, do you think this is a coincidence?"
"This ......"
"Now, I'm using our supercomputer to do more accurate calculations that can reduce the deviation to 50." Luo Jinyong lit a cigarette and said, "I bet you, the calculation still covers the number of super nuclear warheads we have, and the final accurate calculation is 1,134, or 1,135, and it is absolutely impossible for the third scenario to occur." ”
"Bet on what?" Zhang Xiaogang has always liked to bet with others.
"If I win the bet, invite me to go to Ginza, Tokyo for a chic time, and I have to count Lao Chu, how about it?"
"No problem, as long as the nightclubs in Tokyo are still open and willing to accept dollars, I'll invite you to go and have a good night."
"It's a deal."
"It's hard to chase a horse."
Chu Tianjiang shook his head with a smile and said, "When the time comes, whether Japan exists or not is a question." The point is, what if the professor's judgment is correct? ”
"Lao Chu, this is not something we should consider."
"If that's the case, we should be happy." Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "This at least proves that extraterrestrial civilizations will not only not destroy the earth, but will do their best to protect the earth, at least to protect the earth's ecological environment, but it may not let human beings go." ”
"This ......"
"In an act of courage, not only did the five nuclear powers use all their nuclear weapons, but the 10 member states also used almost all of their nuclear materials. Even if countries have reservations, their private nuclear warheads are not enough to cause devastating damage to the planet's ecological environment. When we use up all the super nuclear warheads in Operation Courage, it is unlikely that we will fight the extraterrestrial civilizations to the death, or burn them all. Luo Jinyong sighed and said, "Perhaps, this is also what the extraterrestrial civilization is trying to achieve. ”
