Chapter 8: Anomalous Charts
Jiang Yang saw that the inside of the Base was in a frenzy of activity. Apart from the core area, the surrounding areas were filled with the roar of machines everywhere, and construction workers hurrying back and forth everywhere.
“It is now noon on the seventh day. It is expected that by noon tomorrow, the comprehensive refit and upgrade of Base No. 7 will be completed, and all medical equipment, scientific research detection equipment, and so on will be installed.”
Jiang Yang’s pupils contracted slightly: “Such a large area, such a large project……one day?”
Gu Changshan said calmly: “We have mobilized 30,000 engineering personnel, hundreds of helicopters, and thousands of trucks to participate in this mission.”
“Didn’t you say that it wouldn’t consume too many resources, so even if the apocalypse doesn’t come in the end, there won’t be any loss? So many people, so many supplies……you call that no loss?”
Gu Changshan looked at Jiang Yang: “Yeah, so what?”
Jiang Yang shut his mouth.
“Please come to the Meeting Room. Elder Sun has specially rushed over from Greater Capital City and wants to meet you.”
Arriving at a Meeting Room, Jiang Yang saw that more than a dozen people were already seated inside.
An elder with half-bald hair and a lean figure stood up first, leading the other dozen or so people over to Jiang Yang, and enthusiastically extended his hand.
Upon seeing this elder, Jiang Yang was slightly stunned.
He had only seen him on Television before; this was the first time seeing him in real life.
“I am Sun Changhe. Comrade Jiang Yang, thank you for your trust in the Nation. In the coming period, we will struggle together.”
Sun Changhe smiled gently, showing no sign of heaviness or tension: “Of course, I am the overall Head of the Doomsday Event, and normally I may not be able to stay at the Base for long periods. You can find Commander Gu for anything.
Let me reintroduce: Gu Changshan, On-site Commander of Base No. 7, and also the Head of the Strategic Intelligence Team under the Doomsday Command.
Gu Changshan saluted Jiang Yang.
“This is Tang Jianwei, Head of the Logistics Support Team, responsible for the allocation of all personnel and supplies at Base No. 7, as well as any logistical support you personally need.”
“Head of the Scientific Verification Team, Professor Lu Zhaoming, overseeing the Meteorology Group, Physics Group, Medical Group, Geology Group, etc. He is responsible for anything related to Science.”
Looking at Professor Lu Zhaoming’s graying hair and dry skin, Jiang Yang hurriedly extended his hand and proactively shook his.
Professor Lu Zhaoming gently patted Jiang Yang: “Thank you for your strong cooperation, young comrade.”
Sun Changhe pointed to the last person.
“Head of the Psychological Support Team, Zhou Yu. You can find her for any mental burdens.”
Unlike the others, Zhou Yu of the Psychological Support Team was actually a woman, and a quite young woman at that.
She was about twenty-something years old, with a beautiful face, tall figure, and full of intellectual and elegant aura.
Gently shaking Jiang Yang’s hand, Zhou Yu said: “Please take care of me, Comrade Jiang Yang.”
After the introductions, Sun Changhe turned around, looking at Jiang Yang: “I have no other business this time; mainly I wanted to meet you and personally express my thanks.”
Looking at the elder’s graying hair and the bit of bloodshot in his eyes, Jiang Yang said softly: “This is what I should do.”
“Should do doesn’t mean you would do it……”
Sun Changhe sighed: “To contact the Nation at the fastest speed without hesitation right at the first moment of encountering the Cycle—this is not easy.
This life we have no hope; the work of passing intelligence to the Next Cycle still depends on you to carry out.
Alright, time is pressing, I won’t delay everyone. Everyone, start work immediately.”
Smiling and waving his hand, Sun Changhe headed outside the Base. And under Gu Changshan’s organization, a Meeting immediately convened.
“It is now the afternoon of the seventh day of the Cycle, with about 80 hours remaining until the prophesied apocalypse. Time is urgent; we must make use of every minute and every second.
Subsequent missions will mainly focus on the Logistics Support Team and Scientific Verification Team.
In the next 70 hours, I require all departments to collaborate fully to ensure that all medical instruments and scientific Instruments inside the Base are installed and debugged, entering Working State.”
“Received, guaranteed to complete the mission.”
The Heads and members of various teams and groups each acknowledged, then quickly left for their posts.
Jiang Yang looked at Gu Changshan: “Then……what about me?”
“Your work is the most important.”
Gu Changshan’s voice was low: “In these 80 hours, you must undergo professional Memory Training to learn how to, in the shortest time, as accurately as possible, memorize as much as possible.”
He paused, then said: “We have sufficient reason to believe that up to the moment before the apocalypse arrives, our world is still normal, and anomalies only appear at the moment the apocalypse arrives.
The equipment in our Base will be installed and debugged before the apocalypse arrives, and enter Working State.
Medical Facilities will be responsible for monitoring anomalies occurring on your body.
Physics-related scientific research Facilities will be responsible for Monitoring environmental anomalies inside the Base.
In addition, at least over a thousand Research Institutes around the world will join in Monitoring anomalies at the moment the apocalypse arrives, including but not limited to large radio telescopes, infrared, optical telescopes, survey telescopes, solar observation satellites, weather satellites, geological satellites, and so on.
All these observation equipment will automatically aggregate their observation data at the moment the apocalypse arrives, with the Supercomputer quickly screening for anomalous items, and ultimately compiling them into an anomaly chart displayed before you.
Your mission is to memorize this chart and bring it to the Next Cycle.”
Gu Changshan’s tone was extremely serious: “The research and observation results of tens of thousands of Researchers around the world—if not memorized by you and brought to the Next Cycle—will have no meaning.”
Jiang Yang took a deep breath and nodded forcefully: “I understand.”
“Zhou Yu will assist you in Memory Training and be responsible for relieving your mental pressure.”
Zhou Yu nodded slightly to Jiang Yang: “Not just assisting with Memory Training. You can come to me for anything.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome; this is my job. The Memory Training team is already in place; shall we begin?”
“Sure.”
Led by Zhou Yu, Jiang Yang headed to another Meeting Room.
On the way, Zhou Yu asked: “What do you want for dinner? Anything you want to eat, just tell me.”
“Really anything?”
“Of course.”
“Then……Yidong City, Lin Jiang Xian Restaurant, Braised Cuttlefish Egg Soup, Quick-Fried Double Crisps, Scallion-Braised Sea Cucumber—I just ate there a few days ago; it was very good. How about that for dinner?”
Of course, he didn’t really want to eat that.
Yidong City was nearly a thousand kilometers away; how could they eat that for dinner.
It was just that the atmosphere was too heavy at the moment, so he deliberately made a joke.
“Sure.”
Beyond Jiang Yang’s expectations, Zhou Yu agreed very straightforwardly.
