Earth Era

Trust also comes in degrees. Zhao Lan undoubtedly trusts Li Yunfan, but if this trust involves too many things, Zhao Lan will inevitably hesitate. But now, what is related to this trust is simply the most important thing that Zhao Lan can imagine. Zhao Lan really doesn't know how to make a choice.

"I...I want to give it a try." Zhao Lan said.

"How to try?" Li Yunfan's voice reached Zhao Lan's ears after the communication delay.

"Take this information to the Executive Committee and ask them to organize scientists to analyze this information... I will go all out to try to convince them, and at the same time... maybe they will really have a way to verify this information. Don't worry, I won't leak anything about the base. I understand the importance of keeping the secrets of the base and the black hole. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival when things are impossible, and we can change everything through our own efforts. I know, so I will never leak the black hole thing," Zhao Lan said.

There was a sigh in Li Yunfan's voice: "Okay, you can give it a try."

There is no doubt that Zhao Lan is evading. Zhao Lan is assigning the responsibilities that should have been borne by himself to the executive committee. But at the same time, Zhao Lan was also forcing himself. Because under the current situation, this option can also be regarded as a retreat. If the Executive Committee really refuses to accept this information... Zhao Lan will be forced into a dead end. At that time, Zhao Lan had no other choice except to choose between the two options of believing or not believing.

Zhao Lan couldn't make a choice now, so Zhao Lan delayed the time of making the final choice a little longer.

After staying in this base for a few more days, Zhao Lan left here and returned to the Scientific Research Department building. The first thing Zhao Lan did when he returned here was to go to the office of the Executive Committee and report the matter to the members. Zhao Lan came up with an excuse to confuse the source of this information, saying that it was an inspiration he had obtained accidentally, without revealing anything about Li Yunfan and the base.

The information about this information immediately attracted the attention of the members of the Executive Committee. The space blockage plan is an important event involving whether human civilization can continue, and everything about this plan will receive the highest degree of concern. After a preliminary review of this information, I found that I could not fully understand it based on my ability. The executive committee immediately distributed this information to many relevant scientists, who analyzed it respectively. During this process, many meetings were held, and the discussions lasted for nearly two months.

Just as Li Yunfan and Zhao Lan had expected, some scientists were opposed to this data, while a few scientists were in favor, believing that the earth's mass should be included in the calculation process. But there is a very serious problem, that is. All scientists who agree are unable to produce solid experimental data to support their conclusions. Faced with this situation, the Executive Committee announced a meeting of all scientists. All the thousands of scientists involved in analyzing the data will attend the meeting. They will decide whether to accept the data at this meeting.

"As you can see, Ms. Zhao Lan, the commander-in-chief of the space interdiction program, submitted this analytical data. In this data, Zhao Lan believes that there is an error in our current calculation process. We should change the earth's mass into Factors are included in the calculation process. This will cause the burst energy required to cut off the space link in the calculation to increase by another five percent; and the calculation process that everyone generally agreed before did not include the factor of the earth's mass. This issue is The success or failure of the space blockage plan is also directly related to the life and death of our human civilization. Everyone here is a leader in their respective fields. It can be said that we represent the highest wisdom of human civilization. So here, this time During the meeting. I ask everyone to make a final decision on whether to accept this information."

"The fate of the earth and human civilization is in your hands. I hope that everyone will participate in this meeting with the most cautious attitude. The future fate of the earth and human civilization depends on this meeting."

"First of all, I would like to invite Zhao Lan, the commander-in-chief of the Space Interdiction Program, to speak." The host of the meeting briefly explained the significance of the meeting, then exited the stage and focused on Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan exhaled softly, then walked onto the podium and stood in front of the microphone.

Zhao Lan looked around the audience and took a look at all the thousands of outstanding scientists present. Each of these individuals represents the highest achievement in their respective fields, and these individuals come together. It represents the highest wisdom of the entire human civilization. In addition to these people, there were also heads of state and leaders of various government departments sitting in the spectator seats. This is a major event related to the life and death of human civilization. Of course they won't be absent. But here they have no say because they have no relevant scientific literacy. Scientists decide what to do, and the government is responsible for implementing the decisions that have been made.

Zhao Lan felt a little emotional in his heart, but this emotion only lasted for a moment. After calming down the fluctuations in his heart, Zhao Lan slowly opened his mouth and said the words he had prepared long ago: "Hello everyone, I am Zhao Lan. My reasons for supporting this calculation process are as follows:..."

Every scientist has an electronic device in his hand. Through this electronic device, scientists can be divided into many different virtual discussion groups according to their respective disciplines and fields. In these virtual discussion rooms, many scientists began to discuss Zhao Lan's The speech started a heated discussion.

After Zhao Lan finished his speech, an elected scientist made a request to speak. The host of the meeting handed him the right to speak, and the scientist's voice spread throughout the venue: "I do not agree with the calculation method proposed by Ms. Zhao Lan. Although I have no way to deny its correctness, Similarly, we have no way to determine its correctness. It is more like a conjecture rather than a calculation system that has been verified by solid experimental data. From a risk perspective, we believe that our original calculation method The calculation process should be more reliable. Because in that calculation process, every step of our calculation logic and the data used are reliable and have been tested. "

The scientist's remarks were echoed by hundreds of people. After his speech ended, another scientist got the right to speak: "I agree with Ms. Zhao Lan's conclusion to a certain extent. At least based on my scientific literacy, the information submitted by Ms. Zhao Lan is perfect and A logical system that is so self-consistent that it looks like a work of art. Although it can only be classified into the category of conjecture, it is hard to believe that a work with such a perfect logical system can be fake. Because based on experience, generally people with The theories of these characteristics will eventually be proven to be correct. I propose that we should verify these things through experiments as quickly and efficiently as possible."

"We don't have enough time. There is only a little more than a year before the Star Disaster finally arrives. During this time, it will be good if we can fully understand the logical architecture of this information. How can we still have time to verify the specifics? data. In fact, everyone here is the same. We can neither deny this data nor confirm this data. We can only use our experience and intuition to comprehensively weigh risks and benefits at the same time, and finally decide between the two. Make one choice between two options. I think that in the end, compared with the two options, our initial calculation process has higher credibility, and I support the implementation of the first option.”

"Ms. Zhao Lan, I have a question. You raised the issue of insufficient burst energy in the original plan. So, can you find a way to find a higher level of burst energy? At least as far as I know, the current technology of our human civilization is There is no way to increase the burst energy by 5% in just over a year. If your answer is no, then I think... your proposal is actually meaningless. Because even if it is finally verified Your plan is correct, but we don’t have the energy explosion method to match it. Instead of that, we might as well try our original plan. In this case, we still have a certain chance of success."

Zhao Lan saw that the scientist's speech was approved by almost 90% of the people.

Zhao Lan replied: "The focus of the issue we are discussing now is not this. If we finally determine that we need to find a higher-level energy burst mode, I believe that with our collective wisdom, we will be able to find a specific and feasible method. .I have absolute confidence in this."

…

This meeting lasted for two full days. During these two days, the participating scientists and Zhao Lan explained their reasons and expressed their opinions from various aspects. Zhao Lan tried hard to convince the scientists. , but Zhao Lan did not disclose the existence of the base and the black hole in any case. Because Zhao Lan knew that by concealing the existence of these things, when things couldn't be done, he still had the possibility of using his own private power to complete the matter. If it were leaked in advance, it would be exposed to the eyes of the government, and he would not be able to convince him. If scientists accept Li Yunfan's conclusion, then everything will be over.

The meeting has finally come to an end. Now, it's time to take the final vote to determine whether to adopt this information. (To be continued ~^~)
