Chapter 42: Unprecedented
At this moment, after visiting almost the entire Nanli Mountain, the second action team and the projection team finally reluctantly found a cliff that roughly met the requirements and could be used as a curtain to undertake the projection.
The technology of projecting three-dimensional images directly into the air only exists in science fiction works. It is impossible to do it with the technology of human civilization at this stage, and the team members have not considered it at all. In this way, the mountain cliff can only be used as a curtain to undertake these projections.
The terrain that fits your needs isn't easy to find. The main thing is that the size of the projection is too large.
Cliffs with a length of more than one kilometer are easy to find, but cliffs with an altitude of one kilometer above sea level are very rare. I'm afraid that you may not be able to find it in Oguri Mountain, let alone Nanli Mountain, which is only a branch vein.
This is the case with the cliff that was found at this moment, which roughly fits the requirements. It is very long, with a length of more than ten kilometers, but the height is only more than 300 meters. Counting the gentle slopes at the bottom of the cliff, the total altitude is only less than 500 meters, which is still far from a kilometer.
After communicating with Shu Changshan, because the image of the magic eye is long in length and short in width, such a mountain cliff can barely be projected, and finally Shu Changshan agreed.
He believes that this degree of size reduction can probably still meet the requirements.
Even if you can't be satisfied, you can't help it. We couldn't find a better venue.
Once you've decided on the location of the cliff that will act as the curtain, the next step is to determine where the projection equipment will be installed. The ideal state is, of course, perpendicular to the plane of the cliff. Unfortunately, there happens to be a mountain peak there, and it's relatively close. And if it is too close, there are technical difficulties in projecting such a huge picture, which can only be ruled out.
The next best thing is the side. On the side, there were some areas that met the requirements, and after comprehensive consideration, the team experts finally set their sights on the laser research institute.
The location and relative orientation of the institute was not optimal, as there was some occlusion between it and the cliff that served as a curtain, and the distance was greater, and using it as a projection point would require more laser power and some corrections.
But it has an advantage that the rest of the world cannot match, that is, it is connected by road and has complete infrastructure. Water and electricity networks are available.
Its original scientific research facilities can also be directly requisitioned and upgraded on the basis of them, which can save a lot of time and energy for themselves.
Because of this, Zhang Dingshan finally made the decision to requisition it and place the projection point in the laser research institute.
After Li Wenhua came forward and coordinated with the superior organization of the Laser Research Institute, Zhang Dingshan, He Wei and Lu Ming came here and met the director of the Laser Research Institute surnamed Wang.
Director Wang is about forty years old, with a slightly bald crown and a rich face, not like a scientist, but like a businessman. After meeting Zhang Dingshan and the others, he was very enthusiastic, directly invited several people to the office, and enthusiastically made tea.
"Our institute must obey the orders of the superiors, and resolutely cooperate with your police actions, and at the same time strictly abide by the confidentiality system, and never inquire about what should not be inquired. Needless to say, these are all said. In a word, what you say to do, we will do. ”
Director Wang was very open, patting his chest and making a guarantee.
Zhang Dingshan also had a smile on his face.
"Thank you."
"But ......"
Director Wang changed his words, and his face showed embarrassment: "Sergeant Zhang, you also know that our research institute has been underfunded for a long time, and the scientific research tasks of the researchers are heavy. I heard that you have to requisition for two or three months, well, the progress of the research will be lost.
Sheriff Zhang, you may not know much, we people, outsiders call a scientist, it seems that there are too many, in fact, it is a scientific research dog, all ordinary people. Just like the tip in our office, I can't afford to buy a house when I'm almost thirty, and my girlfriend refuses to get married, so I just wait to come up with the results so that I can get a bonus to get married, and the old man in the house, my wife has been in poor health......"
Director Wang poured out his bitterness in front of the three of them, telling how difficult it was for him, how he encountered the task of tackling key problems, how he spent a month or two in this broken research institute in the deep mountains and old forests, how difficult the situation was, how little money he had, etc., the people who heard it were sad and the listeners cried.
In short, we will definitely cooperate, but we are already so miserable, you can't bear to delay our original work and make us even more miserable?
Zhang Dingshan once again calmed Director Wang's complaints with one sentence.
"After the requisition is over, all the upgraded equipment and new equipment will be left to your office. At the same time, we will give a bonus to each of the staff members in your firm, and the amount will not be less than your salary in the previous year. ”
Director Wang's eyelids jumped, and his lips began to tremble.
"Oh, this, it's not that it has to be money, oops, this is great, this, too much, how embarrassing this is......"
He rubbed his hands together, and he couldn't speak.
"It should be, it should be."
When he walked out of the research institute building, Lu Ming vaguely heard the cheers of the research institute staff in the building behind him.
For the second team, the problems that can be solved with money and power are not problems.
After finalizing the matter here in the laser research institute, the follow-up really entered the construction and transformation stage. The first thing in the construction and renovation stage is to determine the plan first.
All the researchers and engineers in the institute joined the team and began to actively contribute their wisdom. With the addition of this group of personnel, the problem of "only using, not making" faced by the projection team has also been solved.
The researchers showed 12 points of enthusiasm for this matter, and together with the projection team, they determined the general upgrade plan in just one day. So the construction team entered the building, began to build a new building, and a number of orders were sent to major precision equipment factories around the world, and began to expedite the production of equipment to meet the demand.
The power company also moved in and began to upgrade the circuitry at the institute. They brought in a new high-voltage line to supply the electricity consumption of a town when the upgrade was completed.
The entire construction period was set at 40 days. In addition to this, a redundancy of about ten days is left.
Even if it's an upgrade, rather than starting from scratch as originally thought, the timing can't be said to be unlimited. Fortunately, there are enough manpower and material resources to deploy, and multiple teams enter at the same time and construct at the same time, so that the scheduled goals can be reached one by one.
In addition to the normal construction, the security aspect has also not been left behind.
They don't know what kind of intelligence the monsters have, they only know that they can't let the monsters know their true intentions anyway, and they are projecting the image of the MONOCULUS on a cliff face a few kilometers away in a straight line - if they do, then they may know about their plan to fake their death, which will cause all their actions to be meaningless.
After making sure that the monsters did not have the ability to fly and could not observe themselves from a high altitude, Zhang Dingshan arranged for the guards to start squatting to guard all the places where they could directly peek into the institute from the surrounding mountains. That way, the monsters won't be able to see what they're doing.
Later, when the projection test really starts, the equipment starts to be debugged, and the final stage really starts projection, you can directly peek into all the directions of the cliff wall, and the guards will also be arranged to squat. In order to prevent the monsters from seeing the image of the magic eye there.
If it's in the plains, this can be difficult to do. But in mountainous terrain with complex terrain, it's much easier to do so. Because of the mountains here, the various hills can act as natural shelters. In this way, if you hide behind the mountain, your view will be blocked by the mountain. If you want to look over the hill, you will be blocked by the squatting guards. If you want to break in, it's even easier.
You guys hide, we can't find you, and now you dare to throw yourself into the net, doesn't that directly save us trouble?
Monsters are just bullying unarmed and unsuspecting civilians. For the guards who are loaded with guns and are fully guarded, a shuttle of bullets can make them experience what modern weapons are.
In the midst of the intense upgrading process, the second team of Action ushered in two more time nodes where the guidance ceremony could be held.
Although Shu Changshan has speculated that the monsters will not hold a ceremony until after their death, and they should choose to hibernate during this time, several members of the second action team still dare not be careless, and still let Shu Changshan hold a ceremony, using inspiration to sense whether there are fluctuations in the so-called "evil power".
After all, maybe the monsters just ate their own mentality, thinking that they would be careless, so they deliberately chose to hold the ceremony during this time period?
This has to be guarded against, and they must not be left with any opportunity to take advantage of it.
However, these two times, Shu Changshan didn't find anything, which made Lu Ming feel a little regretful in his heart.
During this time, Lu Ming did not participate in any actual work.
Lu Qingliang provided logistical support, Zhang Dingshan coordinated the overall situation, He Wei coordinated security and confidentiality matters, and Lu Ming became a spectator.
He watched everything from the sidelines, watched the people busy, and watched the upgrading project progress step by step.
If the project of projecting the image of the Demon Eye is a move made by the opponent according to Shu Changshan's requirements, then it may imply the true intention of the opponent.
The scientific system, not the true intention within the Cthulhu system.
Of course, this is just a small possibility.
Because Lu Ming still doesn't know which of these two systems is the truth of the universe.
And so the time passed slowly. On this day, several members of the second team finally received a message.
"The relevant equipment has been installed and debugged. It's time to conduct the first practical trial. ”
Director Wang, who reported the news to Zhang Dingshan, and the three projection team leaders were full of tiredness and joy.
In any case, this unprecedented project in human history has finally been completed in its own hands at this moment.
INTERVIEWER In terms of the size of the project, this project is really not too big. But to say unprecedented, it is real.
People dare to pack tickets, and absolutely no one has ever done that before.
From this moment on, this laser projector, which occupies tens of thousands of square meters and occupies tens of thousands of square meters, has theoretically possessed the ability to project a huge image with a length of one kilometer and a height of 500 meters on a cliff wall several kilometers away in a straight line.
"Everyone's worked hard. So, this evening, the first field test will be conducted. ”
"Good!"
Lu Ming's expression was calm, still vigilant, examining everything around him, trying to find the possible loopholes. He Wei had a happy face.
I've been busy for so long, and now I finally have a result.
That's when her phone rang. When I took out my mobile phone, I saw that the call was actually from the attending doctor of the human hospital.
"Sheriff Ho, report something to you."
The attending doctor seemed to be in a low mood: "Patient No. 2 passed away just an hour ago. Her condition deteriorated to the extreme, and all the means at our disposal, including unapproved experimental therapies, failed to save her life. In the last stages of her life, we injected her with an overdose of morphine in an attempt to ease her pain, but it didn't seem to be of much use. Eventually, she was in excruciating pain...... Passed away. ”
Only then did He Wei realize that the death row prisoner who had exchanged blood with Shu Changshan in the human hospital had received experimental treatment in the human hospital with his consent. Now, when people die, of course the human hospital has to report to itself.
Now it seems that this fate should have been borne by Shu Changshan. But through the exchange of blood, this fate was transferred to the condemned prisoner. The only pity is that although Shu Changshan woke up because of this, he did not fully recover.
"Oh, people are dead? It's so ...... It's a shame. ”
He Wei said that it was a pity, but the corners of her mouth curled, full of smiles: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, I will communicate with the prison." ”
"yes, yes, I'm so embarrassed......"
The phone hung up, He Wei looked at the sky, and said to herself, "What good news." ”
After that, she looked at Zhang Dingshan: "Captain, how is Shu Changshan's situation?" ”
In the past two months, Shu Changshan's body has further deteriorated. At the moment, he is even thinner, and his body is becoming weaker and weaker. In the past, although his legs were paralyzed, the rest of his legs were normal. Now, he can't even raise his arms too high, and he always looks weak when he speaks.
Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "It's not good, but it looks like it can be supported for a while." ”
"There are nineteen days left until the next milestone. He...... No problem, right? ”
"According to the doctors, it should be fine. As long as his body no longer deteriorates suddenly. ”
Zhang Dingshan said: "In the evening, bring him over too." ”
"Yes."
At this moment, when the project is accepted, it is time for Shu Changshan, the largest Party A, to come to the site to test whether the project is qualified and whether it is suitable.
