Chapter 110: Go All Out
Walking out of his rented small house and arriving at the street outside, Jiang Yang immediately saw vehicles and crowds flowing busily.
A wave of urban prosperity hit him in the face.
There was almost no emotional fluctuation in Jiang Yang’s heart, yet a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“An Earth with people is still the best…”
More than an hour later, Jiang Yang sat in the Confidential Meeting Room just like in the previous cycle. After several hours of detailed explanation and communication, he made all the attendees accept the intelligence he brought.
Next was the most important intelligence harvested from the previous life.
Starting from entering that passage, Jiang Yang detailed everything their side had seen, including the construction age of that underground passage and underground chamber, the various information detected, and most importantly, the various texts recorded there.
At this moment, that image formed after multiple compressions had been informed of the compression algorithm by Jiang Yang, then decompressed into numerous texts.
These texts were now presented in front of the numerous attendees.
Sun Changhe said solemnly: “Immediately hand it over to experts in information encoding, text decryption, and related fields for interpretation.
The action must be fast; no matter which institutions are involved, they must cooperate unconditionally.”
“Yes.”
Gu Changshan acknowledged and immediately went to make the arrangement.
After arranging this matter, Sun Changhe looked at Jiang Yang: “Based on our judgment from the previous few lives, as well as the information you and the astronauts discovered on the Moon, summed up, I think the situation is like this:
That underground floating city is the chief culprit of the extinction of human civilization, and it can be destroyed by a hydrogen bomb. The only obstacle is that there exists a negative matter field shield of unknown principle around the floating city, blocking any external objects from entering.
The key point to ending the apocalypse lies in how to send the hydrogen bomb into the underground chamber.
And based on your research on that object speculated to be a spaceship carrier, you believe that superconducting material may be able to break through the protection of this layer of negative matter field shield, allowing us to smoothly send the hydrogen bomb into the underground chamber and destroy it.”
Jiang Yang nodded slightly: “Yes.”
Sun Changhe looked at Lu Zhaoming.
Lu Zhaoming considered for a moment and said: “Comrade Jiang Yang, the first point that must be made clear is that our scientific system does not cover something called a negative matter field at all, and we do not know whether superconducting material can really resist its influence.
Of course, this does not affect our subsequent judgment—regardless, this is always a point that can be attempted to break through, our only hope, and we must try it.
Let’s first assume that superconducting material can really resist the negative matter field influence.
But there is a problem here: is it that a certain material that happens to have superconducting property also has the ability to resist the negative matter field influence, or that any material, as long as it has superconducting property, has the ability to resist the influence?
These two are different. Did you have any further analysis, research, or judgment on this back then?”
Jiang Yang was slightly stunned.
He truly hadn’t thought of this point before. But obviously, Professor Lu Zhaoming’s analysis was also very reasonable.
Exactly whether “superconducting” resisted the negative matter field, or that material with superconducting property resisted the negative matter field?
For example, a metal knife has the property to conduct electricity because it is metal.
In some emergency situation, it is temporarily used to connect two wires. Then, someone who doesn’t know the principle might think that any object in the shape of a knife can conduct electricity.
But this is actually wrong. Only by understanding the principle of electricity conduction can one realize that what truly makes it conduct electricity is its material itself, not its shape.
Just like now, what resisted the negative matter field invasion might similarly be that material itself, with its superconducting property merely being its “shape,” completely irrelevant.
Jiang Yang shook his head slightly: “We couldn’t obtain more information from it at the time.
But I think this is equally unimportant. What is important is that, apart from this point, we have no other routes to attempt.
We can only follow this path and see. Whether it works through or not, we will only know after trying it.”
Professor Lu Zhaoming nodded silently.
Sun Changhe looked at him: “Then Professor Lu, do we have the ability to manufacture a superconducting material shield, deliver it to the Moon, and make it operate in the Moon environment?”
Jiang Yang said in a deep voice: “One point that especially needs attention is that in the area where the underground chamber floating city is located, electricity cannot be used. If this superconducting material shield needs motivation, it can only rely on mechanical energy.”
Sweat beads appeared on Professor Lu Zhaoming’s forehead: “I need to discuss it.”
Half an hour later, he came back online.
“The first point that can be made clear is that we humans currently do not have materials that can maintain superconducting performance at temperatures around minus thirty degrees Celsius under normal pressure or even in vacuum.
The most advanced achievement in current high-temperature superconductivity research is copper-based superconductivity, under normal pressure or vacuum, with the highest temperature at which it can maintain superconducting state being around minus 140 degrees Celsius.
This differs by 110 degrees from the minus thirty degrees Celsius temperature of that underground chamber and passage.
If using superconducting materials that can be mass-produced at the current stage, then the temperature upper limit would be minus 180 degrees Celsius, with a temperature difference of 150 degrees Celsius.
This means we must create an environment with sufficiently low temperature to allow these materials to exhibit superconducting performance.
If electricity can be used, the problem would be much simpler; at worst, we transport a cooling device up there.
But if electricity cannot be used… then we must design a cooling device driven by human power or chemical energy, and this set of devices must also be movable, combined with the special environment of the Moon and the special demands of the mission, which will be very complex and difficult.”
Just thinking about it, Jiang Yang could know how complex and bulky such a device would be.
But he also knew that this was the only way and it must be done.
There was no second path to take.
Sun Changhe calmly looked at Lu Zhaoming: “We have no other choice.
Gather relevant experts and manufacture this device within five days.”
Lu Zhaoming stood up trembling slightly: “Yes.”
Sun Changhe turned to look at Jiang Yang, with a touch of gentleness in his gaze.
“Comrade Jiang Yang, thank you for your patience, sacrifice, and cost.
It is precisely because of your multiple reincarnations that we in this life can see the dawn of hope.
I cannot guarantee that this life will definitely bring the end of the apocalypse, but I can guarantee that the entire nation, even the entire civilization, will go all out.”
