In the laboratory of the Aerospace Institute, the exploration plan is in full swing, and it will take two weeks to have the conditions for liftoff. Of course, the approval of the application for liftoff is already in the hands of Zhang Tianlin, who initiated the application a week ago, but he did not expect the council to agree so quickly.

During this time, Zeng Shuo has been in the Aerospace Institute, as well as his two assistants. The Academy of Astronautics sent three other professors to assist him, and the preparation stage went smoothly.

In addition, he learned more about Ye Guangli's deeds from these three professors, because they were also his students.

"It's hard to believe that Professor Adolf would do such a thing!"

"Professor? Hmph, people like him don't deserve it. ”

"Yes, murdering your own mentor is like a brute."

"His ambition is too great, I heard that he has long been eyeing the position of dean, if it weren't for ......"

Seeing Zhang Tianlin's figure, the professor hurriedly stopped talking.

"Hello Dean!"

Several people hurriedly greeted Zhang Tianlin, and the response was that he nodded his head one by one.

"How about Zeng Shuo, are you still used to it?" Zhang Tianlin asked with a smile.

"It's all good," Zeng Shuo replied with a smile and stopped what he was doing, "The laboratory here is much more spacious than the Military Academy." ”

"I can't see anything from the outside, and I can't compare to the 'big stroke' of the Military Academy." Zhang Tianlin said humbly, with a mocking tone in his tone, "The scientific research funds that your dean applies for every year are several times that of our Aerospace Institute, which is not comparable or comparable!" By the way, is there anything else that needs to be coordinated? ”

"All the equipment is in place, and a set of debugging has been done, and it's normal for some data to be abnormal. But these are all minor issues that we're already working on. Zeng Shuo replied seriously, "And several professors are very powerful and actively cooperate." To be honest, it was much smoother than my work at the Military Academy. ”

Zeng Shuo is telling the truth, if you talk about the strength of astronautics, the aerospace institute is far ahead of the military academy, after all, the focus is different. The Military Academy invests the main elite and most of the funds in the military, and the aerospace aspect is only a small part of it! If it weren't for the struggle against the "cautious faction", I'm afraid that the development rights of the "Lightspeed" would not have been in Williams' hands, which he obtained at a great cost.

In addition, the scientific research ability of the professors of astronautics of the Military Academy is not as good as that of the Aerospace Academy, and the most famous is that Ye Guangli has led several students.

"I'm relieved when you say that," Zhang Tianlin smiled and said meaningfully, "Don't worry here, let go of all distractions, and focus on scientific research." ”

Zeng Shuo understood what he meant, put aside political prejudices, there are no "cautious factions" here, there are no "expansionists", only exploration plans, only scientists' enthusiasm and unremitting efforts to explore outer space!

In his opinion, Williams naturally wants to train himself hard, but during his time in the Aerospace Academy, he can clearly feel that Zhang Tianlin also has the intention of wooing him.

However, in his heart, there is no one he wants to be attached to, whether it is Williams or Zhang Tianlin.

"your struggle, all I care about is aerospace technology, only the dream in my heart." Zeng Shuo thought more than once.

......

In the environmental laboratory of the Ecological Research Institute, Zhou Ran was anxiously consulting various materials, and the smart keyboard crackled under his fingers, which seemed to make him even more annoyed and uneasy.

The reason for this is the two data that just came this morning, one from the Antarctic and the other from the North Pole, and he did not look at the details, but went straight to the conclusion: the temperature at the poles has risen sharply, with the Antarctic 21.5 degrees warmer than the average temperature of the past decade, and the North Pole 11.3 degrees warmer.

For the average person, perhaps they don't have any idea about these two numbers and don't think about the news for a second longer. But for ecologists, this is an unusually serious problem. This extreme warming event may indicate that the South and Arctic have entered a stage of rapid change, which needs to be paid attention to and vigilant by the coalition government.

Obviously, this is closely related to global warming, and it is also a strong signal of human damage to the climate, which may trigger an inevitable chain reaction. One of the most intuitive results is that polar glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising.

If the temperature keeps rising, then there will be no glaciers in the polar regions, and then ......

The consequences are unimaginable!

"How can this be, so much at once? Could it be that the data observed by the weather station is discrewed? ”

Zhou Ran was puzzled, and immediately got in touch with the "Kunlun Station" in Antarctica, and after receiving a definite answer, he believed that the data was correct.

At the same time, the "Great Wall Station" in the Arctic has the same reply.

"The matter is serious, it must be reported to the dean!"

Zhou Ran trotted all the way to the office of Shen Tonghui, the dean of the Institute of Biology.

"Have you checked the accuracy of the data?" Shen Tonghui asked worriedly, frowning.

"Well, the data is correct, Kunlun Station and Great Wall Station are almost messed up, waiting for further instructions."

"This is a major event and needs to be reported to the council." Shen Tonghui immediately decided, "You reply to the polar regions first, tell them not to panic, don't mess up, we have experience in dealing with this kind of incident." I'll go to the council right away. ”

Before leaving, Shen Tonghui added: "Get ready, we may have to go to Antarctica!" ”

Watching the speeding car drive away, Zhou Ran was still standing in place, he was thinking about Shen Tonghui's last sentence, and then he actually laughed. Although it was a little out of place, I couldn't hold back after all.

Because, he can finally realize his dream: Antarctica, I'm coming.

Before getting off work in the afternoon, Zhou Ran was called to the office by the dean.

"After careful study, the Council asked us to organize an Antarctic field trip, the main purpose of which was to assess the likely consequences of this warming and then report back to the Co-Chairs."

Zhou Ran was both excited and delighted, and seemed to have forgotten the major impact of polar warming.

"When are you leaving?"

"The sooner the better."

"So what are you going to do?" Zhou Ran asked expectantly.

"I want to hear your opinion," Shen Tonghui said expressionlessly, "I remember that you seem to have always wanted to go to Antarctica?" ”

"You're right," Zhou Ran said slowly, remembering the past, "I couldn't catch up with the expedition ten years ago, I hope I don't miss it this time." Dean, I applied to go to Antarctica......"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then a person walked in, it was the person Zhou Ran didn't want to deal with - Zheng Dashen. The moment they saw each other, they were a little surprised.

A sentence suddenly appeared in Zhou Ran's mind: "Either competition or cooperation." ”

"Dean, you're looking for me, and Professor Zhou is here." Zheng Dashen closed the door as he spoke.

"Sit down."

Zheng Dashen sat down at the other end of the sofa, and there was a large space between him and Zhou Ran, and it was impossible to set foot there.
