Annihilation of the solar system

Seeing that the commander-in-chief walked back to his painting, he was about to pick up the drawing paper and return to the camera obscura. Zhou Cheng suddenly said: "Commander-in-Chief, I have a small suggestion. Do you think you can consider it?"

The commander continued to carefully pick up the drawing paper and said:

"Of course, Professor Zhou. Please tell me."

Zhou Cheng seemed a little cautious, hesitated and then said:

"I know that there is a sentry tower in front of the dam at the beginning of eternity, and there are no humanoid cities nearby. Can I adjust the direction of the explosion energy gathering on that tower to an area without any buildings, and then there

The heavy nuclear fusion directional bomb on the tower is replaced with a new startup module developed by me."

The commander's originally smiling face suddenly dropped, and Zhou Cheng quickly explained:

"Commander, this is an immature proposal that I made. The purpose is not to change the existing deterrence system. I just want to compare it through data experiments under real conditions to see whether my design can achieve the same effect as before."

The effect of making the startup module more stable."

"I can build you an experimental equipment with exactly the same environment, which can also verify your theory." the commander said.

Zhou Cheng's smiling face was intertwined with complex expressions of desire and prayer. He hesitated to speak several times, and finally just said:

"If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to approve it, and that's okay."

The commander seemed to be moved by Zhou Cheng's demeanor, and put back the drawing paper in his hand:

"Professor Zhou, I have always been honest with you. In this matter, can you tell me the reason for your persistence? Of course, if you are willing."

Zhou Cheng's embarrassed expression became even more intense. After hesitating for a moment, he finally let go of the entanglement in his heart and looked at the commander-in-chief with a mixture of sincerity and loss in his eyes:

"You know, I was still a well-known figure in the previous era. After coming to the Golden Age, it is difficult for me to find my own value and the recognition of others. This has nothing to do with the so-called achievements I made in the previous era.

, I believe you can understand.

I have also tried various types of art, and practice has proved that, at least for a short period of time, I still cannot integrate into them. However, my exploration in applied physics and engineering allowed me to find some sense of my own existence."

Zhou Cheng paused for a moment, and finally let go of his awkward emotions. All that was left was humility and expectation, and he continued:

"The Crystal Tower and the Sentinel System are the crystallization of the wisdom of scientists of this era, a symbol of the times, and a monument of the times written in the history of the world. If I leave some traces that are unique to me on this monument, I will

I think that must be a supreme honor for me."

The commander-in-chief brushed his hand over his painting, then looked at the huge starry sky map in front of the glass window, and let out a long sigh:

—

"Hey, Professor Zhou, I can understand you. We are all people who want to stand on the shoulders of giants and work hard to move forward."

After thinking for a long time, the commander turned around and said:

"I agree with your plan, but your design must be strictly evaluated by the AI ​​system of the Department of Science and Engineering, and only the fuze part is allowed to be upgraded."

Zhou Cheng trembled all over and could hardly believe what he heard:

"This won't trouble you too much. You still need to discuss it with Rain Man, the humanoid commander."

The commander-in-chief waved his hands and said proudly:

"If we only improve the triggering device of that tower, things will be much simpler. Federal laws stipulate that they have no right to know the technical details of our deterrence system and upgrade a sentry tower that does not threaten urban areas and lives. I

There is no need to look after them."

"Thank you, respected commander!" Zhou Cheng almost burst into tears.

The commander-in-chief smiled and picked up the drawing paper and walked towards the camera obscura:

"I have seen your contribution to the Eternal City some time ago, and your self-worth is worthy of my respect. Well, I won't keep you anymore. I have to chase my giant while my inspiration is still there.

Already."

Zhou Cheng and Qingwen expressed their thanks again and left, but when they left, Zhou Cheng clearly felt the disdainful looks coming from the eyes of those who were the painting models.

In the next few days, Zhou Cheng started a busy and fulfilling life again. The review and evaluation of the triggering device design was passed very smoothly, which was what he expected. Afterwards, he went to the molecular synthesis factory in person

Supervise the whole process of component production and assembly.

After getting the new warhead fuze start-up module, Zhou Cheng proudly told Qingwen that he had simplified the installation process of the entire start-up module. After removing the original start-up module, he only needed to close the drawer and put in the new module.

Just put it in and wait for the readings to be recorded.

As a result, after the actual replacement work began, Zhou Cheng realized that the complexity of the process was far beyond his imagination. In addition to replacing the startup module, which required temporarily disabling the many interrelated warning systems of the sentry tower, adjusting the bomb's energy gathering direction was even more difficult.

Troublesome things.

Although the entire process is completed by various robots, the accuracy and completion can be fully standardized. The only link that requires Zhou Cheng's personal participation is the replacement of the startup module. However, he still participated in and carefully recorded the entire Sentinel accompanied by Qingwen.

The entire process of tower adjustment.

During this period, Qingwen also persuaded Zhou Cheng several times to go to the glass restaurant on the Eternal Beginning Dam to drink coffee. Not only could she see the work progress here, but she didn't have to crowd with these various buzzing robots.

.But Zhou Cheng always said that serious participation and recording are habits he has developed over the years and he will never get rid of them.

"Click!" Accompanied by the clear mechanical locking sound, Zhou Cheng personally installed the redesigned startup module into the body of the heavy nuclear fusion directed bomb. He walked down to the weapons bay on the top of the tower, and Qingwen handed over 1

After drinking a cup of coffee, he clinked the cup with Zhou Cheng and said:

“Finally almost done!”

Zhou Cheng raised his head and glanced at the weapons bay above his head:

"The only thing left is to re-establish the spatial distortion monitoring induction field. I can't help with this task, but it can all be done by the robot. We just need to check regularly to see if the improved startup module is working."

Qingwen looked at the Yangtze River slowly flowing like gold inlaid with diamonds under the afterglow of the setting sun, towards the Eternal City covered with stars in the distance and sighed:

"It is so refreshing to be able to appreciate the sunset of the Eternal City at such a time, in such a place, and in such a mood!"

Zhou Chengqian took a sip of coffee and looked in front of the bell mouth of the heavy nuclear fusion directional bomb. There was obviously nothing in the air. Even the sky in the background was as clean as a piece of blue-gray glass, but he looked at it.

There he was in a daze.

After a long time, Qingwen, who received no response, turned around and saw Zhou Cheng still looking at the trumpet in a daze, so she asked curiously:

"Zhou Cheng, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Cheng shuddered as if waking up from a dream:

"Oh nothing nothing!"

Qingwen's face once again had a gentle smile like the sunset:

"Don't you think the scenery here is particularly beautiful? And it's unique."

Zhou Cheng seemed to be still immersed in the thoughts just now, and had not fully come back to his senses:

"Oh yes, no one else can come here casually, no one can!"

Qingwen still felt that Zhou Cheng's expression was a little strange and was about to speak. Zhou Cheng said with a smile on his face:

"It's quite beautiful, but with this big bomb on your head, it always makes people feel scared. I remember you said several times that you wanted to have dinner at the Cloud Restaurant. Now that our work has been completed, it's worth celebrating. How about

Shall we go there now?"

"Wow! That's great!" If it weren't for the coffee in her hand, Qingwen would have jumped up happily.
