Chapter 15: Intrigue (I)
When Chu Tianjiang woke up, he found that he was wrapped in ice packs, and someone was massaging his thighs.
"Lao Zhang, you ...... You're ......."
"You're a madman, a real madman." Zhang Xiaogang pinched it hard, and Chu Tianjiang almost screamed in pain. "If you work harder, this life will be gone."
"Really? My life is too big to die easily. ”
"Fate? When you are taken to the emergency center, you have lost eleven kilograms, your muscles are dehydrated, and you have ten times the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood. Zhang Xiaogang handed the water cup to Chu Tianjiang, "I heard that you also helped Petronovich carry equipment on the way, it's really fucking dead." ”
When he took the water cup, Chu Tianjiang found that there was an infusion needle inserted in the back of his hand.
"However, you kid does have a big life. If you change to someone else, I'm afraid it's already over. ”
"How's the assessment going?"
"You still care about this?"
"Of course, why else would you be so desperate?"
"You're number one, and even Howard has a lot of praise for you. Listen to him, he was not as good as you in his prime. Halevi was second, twenty minutes slower than you, Aldrich was third, almost an hour slower, and then Petrovich and Alfred. ”
"Who's at the bottom?"
"Kojiro Nakamura."
Chu Tianjiang laughed, the little devil was really at the bottom. "What's tomorrow's assessment?"
"Your strengths."
"What?"
"Marksmanship." Zhang Xiaogang took out a cigarette, lit two at a time, and gave Chu Tianjiang one. "You can rest in peace, even if you carry it on a stretcher, you won't be at the bottom."
"Fart, I'm going to take the first."
"So confident?"
"Don't forget, I'm a sniper."
"You're not the only sniper."
"Halevi too?"
Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "This guy is smarter than you, and he knows how to plan and make trade-offs." Although he lost to you in the physical assessment, he saved enough physical strength to perform normally in tomorrow's assessment. The way you are now, it's great to finish second tomorrow. ”
"Halevi is not exhausted?"
"Exhausted?" Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Because of the large lead over Aldrich, this guy almost walked the last two kilometers." ”
"!"
"You have to learn to be smart, and the key is to laugh the hardest."
Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, Aldrich was nothing, and Halevi was the real opponent.
"Luckily, it's just the two of you who are real snipers. Although Sullivan and McDonald are also snipers, their experience and familiarity with various weapons are certainly not as good as yours. The other six, mainly assaulters, are certainly not as good as you in marksmanship. ”
"When does it start tomorrow?"
"Meet at half-past six." Zhang Xiaogang pointed to the liquid bag hanging on the wall, "This is amino acids, which can help you recover your physical strength as quickly as possible." There are also two bags of saline and two bags of glucose. You just need to rest in peace now, recuperate your spirits, and don't think about tomorrow's assessment. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded, the soreness all over his body already spoke for itself.
"It was sent by Petronovich to thank you." Zhang Xiaogang threw a glass bottle in front of Chu Tianjiang.
"What's that?"
"Caviar." Petronovic also gave two bottles of genuine vodka, but Zhang Xiaogang didn't take them out because he couldn't let Chu Tianjiang drink.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's not just delicious." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "This thing is more expensive than gold." The bottle is one kilogram and sells for more than $100,000 in the market. ”
"Can it be cashed in?" Of course, Chu Tianjiang knew that caviar was a precious food.
"Take it and sell it? Come on, if you don't have an appetite, I'll enjoy it for you. ”
"Okay, but you owe me $100,000."
"Fart!"
"For the sake of acquaintances, I'll give you a 20% discount."
"I owe you a big fart, do you want to?"
Chu Tianjiang laughed and handed the glass bottle containing caviar to Zhang Xiaogang.
"Give me food?"
"I'm hungry too. By the way, what about the professor? ”
"I'm still busy, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until midnight."
"Leave some for him, good things, everyone can taste them."
Zhang Xiaogang went to bring the dishes and chopsticks, although caviar was not unusual for him, but Chu Tianjiang was so generous, he was also gracious.
At this time, in the scientific research center located under the US military base, Luo Jinyong was very busy.
Two years ago, under the cover of relocating the original people, the U.S. military began to build the scientific research center, located 150 meters below the surface. After that, the US military accelerated the construction under the pretext of expanding the military port. Most of the excavated earthworks were used to fill in the wharves in the military port and reinforce the breakwaters.
It was only last month that the research center was fully completed.
In order to survive the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations, the Research Center operates completely independently. The energy is provided by two military nuclear reactors, and the two nuclear reactors are backing up each other. The overpressure air conditioning system not only regulates the temperature and humidity, but also prevents toxic substances from entering. Three sets of oxygen production equipment can provide oxygen to 10,000 people in a completely closed environment. The water comes from underground, and there are two purification units, which can also produce fresh water with ionizers if necessary. The food reserve is not much, but it can feed at least 5,000 people for half a year.
The scale of the research center is not the largest, but in terms of its solidity and ability to operate independently, it surpasses all strategic bunkers.
When Chu Tianjiang went to report to the Doomsday Army, Luo Jinyong began to be busy.
Although the United States has the majority of the Doomsday Warrior system, Luo Jinyong is the initiator of the project, and China's share of the development includes the most critical nerve center control system, so he became the deputy chief engineer of the project, as well as the system assembly engineer.
Interestingly, at the start of the project, Luo Jinyong was neither a neurologist nor a control system expert.
Compared with his peers, Luo Jinyong is a real genius. At the age of thirteen, he won the first prize in the National Olympiad in Mathematics and Physics, and was admitted to the junior class of Tsinghua University, becoming the youngest college student that year. Three years later, he received a bachelor's degree in mathematics, theoretical physics and astronomy. The first two majors are his specialty, and astronomy earns full credits through self-study. At the age of eighteen, he received a master's degree in theoretical physics, electromagnetism, optoelectronics, and astronomy, and began writing his doctoral thesis. Three years later, he became the youngest Ph.D. in three disciplines at Tsinghua University and was offered the opportunity to teach at Tsinghua University. At the age of twenty-three, he was already a postdoctoral fellow in two disciplines, a lecturer at Tsinghua University, and two years later he was promoted to associate professor.
At the age of twenty-five, Luo Jinyong was already a well-known scientist.
In addition to teaching at Tsinghua University, he has participated in several national key scientific research projects and published more than a dozen high-quality papers in international scientific journals before the age of 28.
Those who know him believe that he will become the youngest academician of the Academy of Sciences in Chinese history, and he is likely to become the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize, and even achieve achievements comparable to those of Albert Einstein and other titan scientists before the age of 35.
It's just that Luo Jinyong's specialty is theoretical physics.
Although great achievements have been made in applied and experimental physics such as high-temperature superconductivity, polymer materials, nanotechnology, power reserve, strong electromagnetic field confinement and control, and quantum communication technology, the foundation of these disciplines is still theoretical physics.
Luo Jinyong's achievements in applied physics and experimental physics are just the fruits of theoretical physics.
Obviously, Luo Jinyong is not a biologist, nor is he a computer application and control system engineer. Although his knowledge of these two subjects is far beyond ordinary people, the little knowledge he has is nothing compared to a real expert, and he is not even an introduction.
The division of labor undertaken by each member state in the Doomsday Warrior system is a direct manifestation of the United States' suppression of China and Russia.
It's just that the Yankees underestimated Luo Jinyong's talent.
For two years, Luo Jinyong has shifted his focus to neurology and control systems engineering, absorbing knowledge that would take others a decade or even twenty years to acquire.
The nerve center control system developed by China is Luo Jinyong's masterpiece.
Luo Jinyong is the only scientist who understands the system in its entirety, and he makes it not only the core of the Doomsday Warrior, but also the uniqueness of it.
Without a central control system, the other subsystems of the Doomsday Warrior are nothing more than high-tech garbage piled up.
In addition, the Nerve Center control system is connected to the user's neural network, so each Doom Warrior system can only have one user.
Luo Jinyong's fame has only one purpose: to prevent the United States from secretly producing more doomsday warrior systems.
Because the Doomsday Warrior system is the crystallization of human scientific and technological achievements, and its performance is extremely powerful, any country that alone masters the production capacity will break the order of the world.
China has assumed 15 percent of the R&D share and is duty-bound to shoulder the obligation to prevent the United States from becoming a dominant power.
If the United States armed an army with the Doomsday Warrior system, even if it was only a thousand people, it could easily overthrow the regime of any country, including China.
Obviously, this is an outcome that the Chinese authorities absolutely do not want to see.
As the saying goes, those who can work harder.
Because he is the only scientist who understands the central control system, on the eve of the establishment of the Doomsday Force, Luo Jinyong's workload exceeds that of everyone.
Before the Doomsday Force was formed, Luo Jinyong had to complete the modulation of ten sets of Doomsday Warrior systems.
The heavy work made him so busy that he couldn't even take care of eating.
After ten o'clock, when the assistant brought the hot meal for the third time, Luo Jinyong had to spare a little time, and he had to go to the toilet to solve the internal emergency.
"How's the Doomsday Force doing?" During the meal, Luo Jinyong was able to take a break.
"Major Chu Tianjiang took the first place in the physical fitness test, twenty minutes faster than Major Halevy, who arrived later, but he was also exhausted."
"What!?" Luo Jinyong was a little incredulous. With so many leads, there is no reason to be tired, unless Chu Tianjiang is looking for abuse.
"Zhang Xiaogang said that when he arrived, Chu Tianjiang had been sent to the emergency center, but fortunately there was no danger to his life." The assistant is a young man in his twenties, named Tong Shaowei, who previously assisted Luo Jinyong in a national key scientific research project, and was invited by Luo Jinyong to join the scientific advisory board.
"This guy is a tendon, and it's a good thing to suffer a little, I hope he can learn to be smarter."
"However, even Major General Howard was impressed with him."
Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "The assessment will take five days, and there are more than ten items, what is the point of winning once?" If it has a negative impact on other assessments, it will outweigh the losses. ”
"Hopefully he'll recover soon."
"We need to hurry, too." Luo Jinyong put down the lunch box and said, "This guy is a notoriously desperate Saburo, I think his Doomsday Warrior system should be adjusted for this feature." If something like this happens on the battlefield, I'm afraid he won't have a chance. ”
"I'll prepare, you finish eating."
"You're full, you can't be busy alone."
As soon as Luo Jinyong got up, the phone on the table rang.
Tong Shaowei picked up the microphone and listened for a while, then covered the microphone again, and said to Luo Jinyong: "It's Burke, looking for you, saying that there is an emergency." ”
Luo Jinyong frowned tightly and took the microphone. "Burke, it's me, Luo Jinyong...... What the...... Okay, I'll come right over. ”
"What's going on?"
"2014X1 began to accelerate."
Tong Shaowei was startled and almost threw the plate he picked up to the ground.
"You go and deal with Chu Tianjiang's doomsday warrior system, clear the control software first, and then wait for me to come back." Luo Jinyong took off his white overalls. Also, call Zhang Xiaogang and ask him to come over immediately. Smith was also looking for him, but he wasn't in the barracks, he should be there in Chu Tianjiang. ”
Tong Shaowei nodded, picked up the microphone, and dialed the internal phone of Chu Tianjiang's barracks.
When Luo Jinyong arrived in the meeting room of the Scientific Advisory Board, the other nine chief scientific advisers had already arrived, and the meeting was chaired by Professor Burke, the chief scientific adviser of the United States.
In terms of scientific research achievements, Burke is far inferior to Luo Jinyong, but his reputation is even louder.
Burke, an astrophysicist at Massachusetts National University, was invited by HBO to co-record a twelve-part cosmology documentary five years ago. Because of the enthusiastic pursuit by the audience, the ratings hit a record, so five episodes and 60 episodes were later recorded, comprehensively introducing the major discoveries made by mankind in exploring the universe. Burke was a keynote speaker in 36 of the episodes, earning millions of dollars and becoming a household name as a scientist. Later, Burke wrote several popular science books on cosmology and held several book signings.
Fortunately, Burke is not a scientist who only knows how to write books and make money.
Over the past two years, his contributions have been fully worthy of the status of the Chief Scientific Advisor of the United States and the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board.
Unlike other chief scientific advisors, Burke is not responsible for specific research projects.
He has only one job: to monitor the 2014X1 asteroid.
This role ensures his leadership position on the Scientific Advisory Board. The reason is simple, any anomalous changes in the 2014X1 asteroid will have an impact on ongoing scientific research projects, such as shortening the scientific research cycle, and even determining the survival of all scientific research projects.
Don't forget, the scientific research projects promoted by the Planetary Defense Council are all aimed at the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations.
The movement of the 2014X1 asteroid determines the time of invasion, the mode of invasion, and the impact of invasion on human civilization and the earth's ecological environment. These factors are the basis for the existence of individual research projects and determine the priority of all research projects.
Let's take a simple example. If the invasion method of extraterrestrial civilization is not to send armed forces to occupy the earth, human beings do not need a military-centered army to resist the invasion, and there is no need to form a super legion, and the Doomsday Force project will lose its existence value.
