Chapter 166: Try it
Trust is also divided into degrees, Zhao Lan undoubtedly believes in Li Yunfan, but if this trust involves too many things, Zhao Lan will inevitably hesitate. And now, what is behind this trust is simply the most important thing that Zhao Lan can imagine, and Zhao Lan really doesn't know how to make a choice.
"I ...... I want to give it a try. Zhao Lan said.
"How do you try?" Li Yunfan's voice reached Zhao Lan's ears after the communication was delayed.
"Take this information and hand it over to the executive committee and ask them to organize scientists to analyze it...... I will do my best to try to convince them and ...... Maybe they'll have a way to verify it. You can rest assured, I will not leak the affairs of the base, I understand the importance of keeping the secrets of the base and the black hole, only in this way can we have a glimmer of life when we can't do anything, we can change all this through our own efforts, I know, so I will never leak the black hole thing. Zhao Lan said.
There was a sigh in Li Yunfan's voice: "Okay, you can go and give it a try." ”
Zhao Lan is undoubtedly evading, Zhao Lan is assigning the responsibility that should have been borne by himself to the executive committee. But at the same time, Zhao Lan is also pushing herself. Because in the current circumstances, this option can also be regarded as a way out, if the Executive Committee really refuses to accept this information...... Zhao Lan will be forced into a dead end. At that time, Zhao Lan had no choice but to choose between believing or not believing these two options.
Zhao Lan can't make a choice now, so Zhao Lan delays making a final choice a little.
After staying in this base for a few more days, Zhao Lan left here and returned to the building of the scientific research department. The first thing Zhao Lan did when he returned here was to go to the office of the executive committee and report the matter to the members. Zhao Lan thought of an excuse to confuse the question of the source of this information, saying that it was an inspiration he had obtained by chance, and did not reveal anything about Li Yunfan and the base.
The matter of this information immediately attracted the attention of the members of the Executive Committee. The space interdiction program is an important event that involves the continuation of human civilization, and everything related to this program will be of the highest degree of concern. After a preliminary review of this information, it was found that it was not possible to fully comprehend it on his own. The Executive Committee immediately distributed the information to a number of scientists involved, who analyzed it separately, and held a number of meetings in the process, which lasted nearly two months.
Just like Li Yunfan and Zhao Lan expected at the beginning. Some scientists are opposed to this information, while a few are in favor of it, arguing that the Earth's mass should be included in the calculation. But there is a very serious problem, and that is. All the scientists who agree with it have no way to come up with solid experimental data to support their conclusions. Faced with this situation, the Executive Committee announced a meeting of all scientists, attended by all the thousands of scientists involved in the analysis of the information, at which they would decide whether to accept the information.
"As you can see, Ms. Zhao Lan, the commander-in-chief of the space interdiction program, submitted this analysis data, in which Zhao Lan believes that there is an error in our existing calculation process, and we should incorporate the mass of the earth into the calculation process, which will lead to a 5% increase in the burst energy required to cut off the space link in the calculation; In the past, it was generally accepted that the calculation process did not take into account the mass of the earth. This is a question of the success or failure of a space interruption program. It is also directly related to the life and death of our human civilization. All of you here are leaders in your respective fields, and it can be said that we represent the highest collection of wisdom of human civilization. So here, in this meeting, I ask you to make a final decision on whether or not to accept this information. ”
"The fate of the planet and human civilization is in your hands. I hope that you will participate in this meeting with the utmost caution, and the future fate of the planet and human civilization depends on this meeting. ”
"First of all, I would like to invite Zhao Lan, commander-in-chief of the space interdiction program, to speak." The host of the meeting briefly explained the significance of the meeting, and then withdrew from the stage and focused on Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan exhaled softly, and then walked onto the rostrum. Stood in front of the microphone.
Zhao Lan looked around the audience and watched all the thousands of the most outstanding scientists present. Each of these people represents the highest achievement in their respective fields, and when they are taken together, they represent the highest wisdom of the entire human civilization. Except for these people. Also sitting in the spectators were the head of state and leading figures of various government departments. This is a major event related to the life and death of human civilization, and they will naturally not be absent. But here they have no say, because they don't have the relevant scientific literacy. Scientists decide what to do, and the government is responsible for following through on the decisions that have been made.
Zhao Lan felt a little emotion in his heart, but this emotion only lasted for a moment. After smoothing out the fluctuations in his heart, Zhao Lan slowly opened his mouth. The statement that had been prepared a long time ago was said: "Hello everyone, I am Zhao Lan, and I support the calculation process for the following reasons: ......"
Each scientist has an electronic device in his hand, through which the scientists can be divided into many different virtual discussion groups according to their disciplines and fields, and in these virtual discussion rooms, many scientists begin to have a heated discussion about Zhao Lan's speech.
After Zhao Lan's speech, one of the selected scientists asked to speak. The moderator handed over the right to speak to him, and the scientist's voice was heard throughout the room: "I don't agree with the calculation method proposed by Ms. Zhao Lan. While I can't deny the correctness of it, we can't be sure of it. It is more of a conjecture than a system of calculations validated by solid experimental data. In terms of risk, we believe that our original calculation methods and processes are a little more reliable. Because in that calculation process, every step of our calculation logic and the data we use are reliable and tested. ”
The scientist's statement was echoed by hundreds. At the end of his speech, another scientist was given the right to speak: "I agree with Ms. Zhao Lan's conclusions to a limited extent. At least in terms of my scientific literacy, the information submitted by Ms. Zhao Lan has a logical system that is perfect and self-consistent to the point of being like a work of art, and although it can only be classified as conjecture, it is hard to believe that a work with such a perfect logical system can be fake. Because empirically, theories with these characteristics will eventually prove to be correct. I propose that we should experiment with these things as quickly and efficiently as possible. ”
"We don't have enough time, it's only a little over a year before the Scourge of the Stars finally arrives, and during this time, it would be nice if we can fully understand the logical structure of this data, and where there is still time to verify the specific data. In fact, every one of us here is the same, we can neither deny this information nor be sure of this information, we can only use our experience and intuition, and at the same time weigh the risks and benefits, and finally make a choice between the two. I think that in the end, our initial calculations have a higher degree of credibility than the two proposals, and I am in favor of the first one. ”
"Ms. Zhao Lan, I have a question, you raised the problem of insufficient burst energy in the original plan, so may I ask, do you have a way to find a higher level of burst energy? At least as far as I know, the current technology of our human civilization is not able to increase the explosive energy by 5% in just over a year. If your answer is also no, then I think ...... Your proposal doesn't really make sense. Because even if it is finally confirmed that your plan is correct, we do not have the means to match it. Instead of that, we might as well try our original solution, so that we still have a certain chance of success. ”
Zhao Lan saw that the scientist's speech was almost 90 percent approved.
Zhao Lan replied: "The point of our discussion now is not this. If we finally determine the need to find a higher level of energy burst patterns, I believe that with our collective wisdom, we can find concrete and feasible solutions. I have absolute confidence in this. ”
……
The meeting lasted for two days, during which the participating scientists and Zhao Lan explained their reasons and expressed their opinions from various aspects, and Zhao Lan tried to convince the scientists, but Zhao Lan did not disclose the existence of the base and the black hole in any case. Because Zhao Lan knew that concealing the existence of these things, when it was impossible to do anything, he still had the possibility of using his own private power to complete this matter, if it was leaked in advance, so that it was exposed to the eyes of the government, and he could not convince the scientists to accept Li Yunfan's conclusion, then everything would be over.
The meeting has finally come to an end. Now it's time for a final vote on whether or not to adopt the information. (To be continued.) )
