"Teacher, you're looking for me!"

It was even faster than Pang Xuelin imagined, and not long after he left the Sunset Project Command and Control Center, Shen Yuan found him again.

"Xiao Pang, sit."

Shen Yuan's gaze was hidden behind the thick lenses, but his tone became softer than ever.

This made Pang Xuelin a little surprised and flattered at the same time, after the past three months of contact, Shen Yuan gave him the impression of being cold and conceited.

Maybe this is a common problem of people with ability, most of the time, Pang Xuelin, like the seven or eight doctoral students under Shen Yuan, can only work around Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan rarely takes the initiative to talk to them about things, and it is the first time that someone who is so solemn as today has happened.

"Xiao Pang, can you tell me how you came up with the idea of transforming the Antarctic Courtyard Project into what you call the Earth Cannon?"

Pang Xuelin's face showed a hint of surprise, and he said with some embarrassment: "Teacher, haven't we been studying how to rescue Sunset Six some time ago?" During that time, I was in charge of modeling the Earth's internal Earth-electric currents. One night, perhaps too late in the study, I fell asleep in a daze, and then dreamed of the ground current. During that time, I had been thinking about the role of the ground current, and then in my dream, I inexplicably linked the ground current with the Antarctic garden project. I thought, the energy contained in the ground current is obviously very amazing, what would happen if we could harness this energy? ”

Pang Xuelin paused and continued: "I naturally thought of the electromagnetic accelerator, and now we have built an aerospace mass delivery device, which has a high cost and high energy consumption, and the aerospace industrialization has been talked about for decades, but it still can't form a national effect. I was wondering if we could convert the pipeline of the Antarctic courtyard project we made into a mass delivery device. With a diameter of 12,756 kilometers, this is an excellent launch orbit. In the first half of the launch, we can use gravity to apply force to the object, and in the second half of the launch, we can use the electromagnetic force to overcome gravity and provide acceleration to the object. Such a long acceleration orbit allows us to easily eject massive objects into space, and the energy consumed in them can be solved by the huge ground current inside the earth. In this way, in the future, the cost of large-scale human migration to space will be reduced to an incredible extent. Only then will the era of national spaceflight truly come! ”

While saying this, Pang Xuelin's face showed an excited, excited and longing expression at the right time.

Sure enough, these words obviously touched Shen Yuan's itch.

"Good!"

Shen Yuan slapped his thigh and laughed, "What an earth cannon project." Xiao Pang, you are such a genius! Do you know? I've been struggling with the financing of the Antarctic Courtyard Project, and although countries around the world are interested in developing Antarctica, there is a lot of debate in both academic and political circles about the cost of such a project compared to the benefits of developing Antarctica. Your idea provides an excellent reason for the construction of the Antarctic Courtyard Project, and I am sure that as long as your paper is published, the Antarctic Courtyard Project will become a project that governments and people around the world are vying to invest in. Since then, we have never had to worry about the funding for the Antarctic Courtyard Project...... We might even find a way to rescue Sunset Six! ”

Shen Yuan's eyes sparkled, as if he saw an infinitely better future.

Pang Xuelin just smiled faintly and didn't say much, but sighed secretly in his heart.

Perhaps the reason why Shen Yuan promoted the Antarctic courtyard project so unscrupulously was also due to the factor of rescuing Shen Jing who was trapped in the depths of the earth.

It's just a pity that until the Antarctic courtyard was completed and abandoned, Shen Yuan couldn't rescue his daughter.

I hope that with my own intervention, the ending of this story can finally become better.

Pang Xuelin sighed secretly in his heart.

……

In the following days, Pang Xuelin began to follow Shen Yuan on a global speech tour.

His paper on earth cannon engineering was recommended by Shen Yuan and published in the Journal of Geophysics, which soon caused a global sensation.

When Shen Yuan proposed the Antarctic courtyard project before, it caused widespread controversy around the world.

And Pang Xuelin's paper undoubtedly tilted the balance in favor of Shen Yuan.

Even some economists who were originally opposed to the Antarctic Courtyard Project have gradually tended to support the Earth Cannon Project, a replica of the Antarctic Courtyard Project.

After all, compared to Antarctica, space contains endless possibilities.

If nothing else, the mineral resources in the asteroid belt alone are enough to make all mankind crazy.

As the proposer of the Earth Cannon Project, Pang Xuelin has also become the focus of media attention, and has even been raised to the same height as Shen Yuan by public opinion.

Whenever they went to a country, they received a wide welcome from that country.

During his visit to the United States, Pang Xuelin and Shen Yuan were invited to the UN Security Council and made a two-hour report at the Security Council.

This report also completely laid the foundation for the Earth Cannon Project.

Subsequently, under the call of Shen Yuan, top scientists from all over the world came to China one after another to participate in the Earth Cannon Engineering Seminar.

Pang Xuelin began to emerge in this process, whether it is the foundation of mathematics, physics and chemistry behind him, or the superb vision in the field of engineering, he has been recognized by scientists around the world.

Even Shen Yuan was sometimes surprised that his disciple had such a profound academic foundation.

So, less than half a year after Pang Xuelin entered this world, the Earth Cannon Project was officially established, with Shen Yuan as the chief scientist and chief engineer of the project, and Pang Xuelin as the deputy chief engineer.

Originally, Pang Xuelin was ready to refuse, because although the technical difficulty of this project was large, it was not insurmountable.

There is basically not much difference between having him and not having him.

He prefers to focus his work on neutrinos.

The three major tasks that he came to this world, the Earth Cannon Project has Shen Yuan here, and it is not difficult to complete.

The real difficulty is how to rescue Shen Jing trapped in the depths of the earth.

If Pang Xuelin wants to rescue Shen Jing, he must determine the location of Sunset Six.

In order to determine the location of Sunset 6, Pang Xuelin can only find the answer if there is a further breakthrough in the neutrino field.

But in the end, after Shen Yuan's persuasion, Pang Xuelin still agreed to serve as the deputy chief engineer.

Of course, Pang Xuelin also explained to Shen Yuan in advance that he was only on a temporary basis in the Earth Cannon Project, and he still hoped that Shen Yuan would take charge of the specific work affairs.

In this regard, Shen Yuan naturally had no problem.
