Annihilation of the solar system

Zhou Cheng and several students were working on detailed calculations of fusion reactors and fusion ion thrusters in his research laboratory. Shen Manling's sudden appearance gave him a bit of a surprise, and he said jokingly:

"Man Ling, your Space Defense Research Institute is so busy, come and see me if you still have time."

The students all greeted the teacher's wife respectively. Shen Manling was not angry and said with a smile:

"I want to have so much free time. Xia Lan and the others have made a new discovery over there. I'm here to coordinate the allocation of space satellite resources. I happen to be passing by you and stopped by to see you. Isn't it time for lunch? That’s it.”

Zhou Cheng looked at his watch and saw that it was already past twelve noon. He smiled and said:

"Oh, it's a good thing you're here. Otherwise, these hungry young people would have starved with me."

Several students below burst into laughter. Shen Manling glanced around the students below, and finally her eyes fell on Zhou Cheng and asked:

"Hey? Why didn't you see Chaowen?"

Zhou Cheng said while packing up the documents on the table:

"Originally, I planned to keep him in the research group to do verification calculations, and he himself didn't say he was unwilling. However, I considered that there were originally few people working on the cutting edge of theory, and now there are even fewer in this current situation. He is better at high-energy physics. Direction. I asked him to go to Sichuan to participate in the high-energy collider project. Originally, that project was also improved according to his thesis plan, and the key to solving the crisis may be found in cutting-edge basic fields."

Shen Manling's face darkened slightly:

"Don't worry about him going alone? He has such an introverted character."

Zhou Cheng smiled:

"Chaowen is not a child anymore, so why can't he go? Besides, I have also considered what you have considered. I have arranged for Lao Liu to accompany him on the project, so that father and son can be reunited, so don't worry."

Shen Manling thought about it and realized that her worries were unnecessary. The couple went to the cafeteria to have lunch together.

While having lunch, Zhou Cheng's phone rang, and it turned out to be Cao Rui's call:

"Old Cao, what's going on?"

"Is it easy to talk?"

"Your sister-in-law and I were having lunch in the school cafeteria, tell me."

"Hey, we don't have lunch until this hour. Then I'll just tell you."

"You tell me, there are no outsiders. There is no one in the cafeteria either."

"Have you verified the plan you received in the last email? How about it?"

"It's almost finished. 90% of the detailed calculations have been completed. The theoretical derivation is feasible, and the on-site construction project team has already started making preliminary preparations according to the plan."

"What's the situation with the Space Center and Fuyao System?"

"It's almost the same. What's wrong? Have you found the problem?"

"It's not convenient to elaborate on the matter on the phone. If you are free in the afternoon, come to my place. First, I will explain to you clearly the situation we have now. Second, we may indeed need you here. professional knowledge and provide me with some advice.”

When Zhou Cheng heard about the plan, he had an idea, and both his curiosity and competitiveness were aroused:

"I don't have anything important to do this afternoon, but I don't know where your office is."

Cao Rui on the other end of the phone chuckled:

"It's not easy to invite you, Professor Zhou Da. Whenever it's convenient for you, I'll pick you up."

Zhou Cheng said angrily:

"Stop wearing your hat on me and just finish your meal."

After hanging up the phone, his wife looked at him with concern:

"Why, have you figured out who sent the plan?"

Zhou Cheng took out the car keys from his pocket and placed them next to Shen Manling's dinner plate while shaking his head:

"No, Lao Cao said he just had an eye for something. The specific situation is not clear yet, but he said he would pick me up in a while. Just drive away. If I don't contact you when you get off work, you can just go home and wait for me.

"

The couple had lunch and just came out of the cafeteria when Cao Rui's car arrived. He still had the same mischievous smile, greeted Shen Manling politely and drove Zhou Cheng away from the car.

, Cao Rui handed Zhou Cheng a work tag:

"This is your work badge. With this, it will be easier for you to enter and exit our office area. There is an identification chip here. But you can't lose it. It will be very troublesome if you lose it."

Zhou Cheng took the tag and saw that the upper third of the tag was the bright national emblem. Under the national emblem was a line of eye-catching red letters "National Security Secret Service", below it was his photo, and further down was "Name: Zhou

The last line of "Cheng" is "Position: Scientific Advisor".

Zhou Cheng looked at the tag and said with a bit of ridicule:

"I've become your scientific advisor without even going to your office. This is a bit of a trap."

Cao Rui scratched his head, a little embarrassed:

"Didn't you agree last time? Besides, if you've been there today, you haven't been there yet."

The journey was smooth, and the car soon arrived at the city police building. Cao Rui drove the car directly into the underground garage.

Zhou Cheng was a little disappointed:

"I thought you had your own office, but it turns out it's still in the police station."

Cao Rui smiled and said:

"It's almost the same, but it's different. You'll know after a while."

The car came to a corner of the garage on the second underground floor. After getting off the car, there were no obvious signs around. However, Cao Rui led Zhou Cheng to find an elevator entrance skillfully, but the words "under maintenance" were displayed on the panel.

Cao Rui took out his work ID and pasted it on the panel, and the elevator door opened normally.

This was a very spacious freight elevator. Zhou Cheng looked around and walked in. Cao Rui pinned his work permit to his chest, then pointed to a camera on the top of the elevator and said to Zhou Cheng:

"Hang up the work badge I just gave you, and then smile at that camera."

After Zhou Cheng complied, all the buttons on the elevator turned red. Cao Rui pressed the buttons on the 13th and 17th floors at the same time and said to Zhou Cheng:

"Remember, when the button turns red, press these two floors at the same time to go down to the Secret Service floor."

"Going down?" Zhou Cheng was about to ask, but before he could speak, the slight feeling of weightlessness brought about by the elevator's descent had already answered his question.

We were probably three or four floors down when the elevator door opened. There was no front desk or sign in the foyer, and what came directly into view was a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor were offices.

Cao Rui led Zhou Cheng in from the corridor on the side. The corridor was very long and the visible end was connected to the horizontal corridor. He had no idea how big this place was. The staff he met along the way would give Cao Rui and

Zhou Cheng nodded and said:

"Director Cao! Hello Professor Zhou!"

Zhou Cheng asked Cao Rui with confusion on his face:

"How do they know me?"
