Chapter 551 Two Alternative Plans
This result made these alien intelligent creatures feel a little disappointed. After all, this was an entry point for them to penetrate into the Blue Star civilization, but now it has been completely interrupted.
"No matter what, we have at least got the information from Pierce that Ning Chen has left temporarily. As long as Ning Chen cannot come back before then, we will still have a high chance of destroying the entire Blue Star."
"Yes, and even if Ning Chen rushes back at this time, it will be too late. It takes time to prepare to fight against our high-power laser weapons. After all, Blue Star is a fixed target, and it is impossible for them to To keep Blue Star out of the attack range of laser weapons.”
At this moment, Pierce was not just "invited" out of the conference room. Although Song Xiyun's words were quite polite, Pierce's current situation was no different from being under house arrest.
The room Pierce is currently in cannot communicate with the outside world through the Internet and other means. He can only contact specific staff arranged by Song Xiyun.
Of course, the other equipment of this room is still very complete. In terms of facilities alone, it is not inferior to the standards of a five-star hotel.
Aware of his situation, Pierce still showed no resistance. After experiencing the difficult time on Mars, Pierce already has a very strong psychological quality and can adapt to various environments.
In the conference room on the other side, Song Xiyun also began to tell the ins and outs of this incident.
"We have just discovered that this alien civilization has launched very powerful laser weapons at us. These laser weapons can theoretically destroy the surface of the Blue Star. We must find a way to deal with them before they reach the Blue Star. method……"
After hearing Song Xiyun's words, everyone's expressions became serious.
One of the experts immediately raised his hand and said:
"I think it's better for us to wake up Academician Ning Chen now and let him find a way to solve this problem. After all, this is a critical moment for the survival of Blue Star Civilization. At least wait until this crisis is over before going It’s not too late to let Academician Ning Chen continue to deal with his own affairs..."
This opinion was also supported by several other experts, but Song Xiyun shook her head firmly and said:
"Unless we have not found a corresponding solution before these laser weapons arrive at Blue Star in one day, otherwise, we will never notify Academician Ning Chen in advance. The work done by Academician Ning Chen this time is very impressive. Important, this is related to whether Blue Star Civilization can defeat this alien civilization. We cannot just focus on the immediate difficulties and ignore more important things. We believe that with the ability of Academician Ning Chen, we can solve this problem within one day. of."
Seeing what Song Xiyun said, everyone stopped mentioning the matter of waking Ning Chen in advance, and started thinking about ways to deal with laser weapons.
Regarding Xu Zhou's previous proposal of using a huge lens to refract the laser beam, everyone felt that it was indeed feasible in theory. However, there was currently no particularly good practical method, so they had to put this plan aside for the time being.
At this time, Tao Zhexuan suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and said to the others:
"I also have an idea here. Although it is not particularly realistic, if everyone is willing, I can also talk about this direction."
"Academician Tao Zhexuan, please speak freely. Now we welcome any solutions that can help Blue Star solve this crisis. No matter how unlikely these solutions are to be realized, they can at least expand our direction."
Seeing what Song Xiyun said, Tao Zhexuan no longer hesitated, and told everyone the plan in his brain through a biological computer program.
"The core element of my plan is to temporarily change the normal operating state of Blue Star, so that Blue Star can avoid the attack of these laser weapons. After all, the operating state of these laser beams has been determined and cannot be changed. , but as long as Blue Star can change its operating status, it is theoretically possible to avoid this crisis..."
After listening to Tao Zhexuan's plan, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became quiet.
As Tao Zhexuan himself said at the beginning, this plan is indeed as difficult to implement as Xuzhou's plan, and even more difficult in terms of difficulty.
It is conceivable that if you want to change the operating status of a planet like Blue Star, you will need to consume a huge amount of energy. Even if you use up all the current energy of Blue Star, it may not be able to have a significant impact on the operating status of Blue Star. .
But no matter what, Tao Zhexuan's plan still provides everyone with valuable direction. When necessary, such a plan is worth trying.
"Academician Tao Zhexuan, do you have any ideas on the specific operations to implement this plan? I think you are not just proposing a pure theory, right?"
Although Song Xiyun was not very familiar with Tao Zhexuan before and had never communicated alone, Song Xiyun also accompanied Ning Chen and met Tao Zhexuan several times, so she had a certain understanding of Tao Zhexuan. .
Tao Zhexuan is a very rational person. After several exchanges with Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan has become more "realistic" and will not focus his research entirely on pure mathematical theory. It is habitual to consider the possibility of application direction.
After the transformation of brain biocomputer technology, Tao Zhexuan became even more powerful, repeatedly breaking through his previous limitations in the field of mathematical research.
After hearing Song Xiyun's words, Tao Zhexuan also nodded and said:
"Yes, Teacher Song, I have also considered the relevant application methods. In fact, if we are willing, we are fully capable of creating a planetary engine with sufficient power within two days and driving the Blue Star's motion state. Change. Although this process consumes a huge amount of energy, if it only runs for a short period of time, based on the existing resources of our Blue Star, it is still enough for us..."
When he said these words, Tao Zhexuan's expression was still very serious. It could be seen that there were some things that Tao Zhexuan was more concerned about.
"Academician Tao Zhexuan, what is the biggest trouble with this plan?"
"The most difficult part of this plan is not the theory or the application, but the consequences of this method are difficult to estimate. Although it is not that the operating status of Blue Star has never changed over the years, it can even be said It is always changing, but this process is extremely slow. If we suddenly and drastically change the motion state of the Blue Star, I don’t know what the consequences will be..."
After hearing these views from Tao Zhexuan, the conference room couldn't help but fall silent again.
Everyone knows something about astronomy and physics, and they understand what Tao Zhexuan is worried about.
The stars, planets, and satellites in these solar systems have maintained a delicate state of balance over a long period of time.
It is this extremely delicate state of balance that allows Blue Star to have such a suitable environment, allowing humans and various other creatures to survive on Blue Star.
If this equilibrium state is changed without authorization, the environment of Blue Star may also undergo drastic changes. Under the premise that such changes cannot be predicted, no one dares to bear this major responsibility.
"Actually, I personally still don't want to talk about this plan. The current plan has too obvious flaws. As long as the relationship between the specific changes and the corresponding impacts is studied thoroughly, this will be a relatively mature plan. It's just that in At this time, I still have to put forward this immature plan, hoping that other experts can give some better suggestions..."
However, Tao Zhexuan is already one of the most capable experts in the field of mathematics in the world. Ning Chen is probably the only one who has the ability to give Tao Zhexuan advice in this field.
At this time, Ning Chen was still busy with the analysis of the system principles. If Ning Chen could come back, everyone would not be so anxiously discussing ways to deal with laser attacks from alien civilizations.
Just when everyone was hesitant about this, Song Xiyun suddenly said firmly:
"Academician Tao Zhexuan, please start the planetary engine project now. Xingchen Technology will provide you with all the manpower and resources you need to clear the obstacles for you as much as possible..."
Everyone felt a little incredible that Song Xiyun so readily agreed to Tao Zhexuan to implement this plan. After all, they had not yet solved some of the problems that this plan might bring. Song Xiyun had already agreed to carry out this plan and provided almost Unlimited manpower and resources.
Even Tao Zhexuan himself was not mentally prepared for this. Tao Zhexuan felt that everyone needed to at least discuss it again before doing this. After all, this was not a joke project.
Realizing that everyone was a little unclear about his decision, Song Xiyun immediately explained:
"The issue we are most worried about now is whether the change in the operating state of Blue Star will affect the future conditions of Blue Star and the entire solar system. After my calculations, such changes can be avoided to the greatest extent. Correspondingly The method is to first decelerate the Blue Star, and then accelerate the Blue Star, so that the Blue Star can return to the same operating state as before..."
Listening to Song Xiyun's explanation, everyone finally understood what Song Xiyun was thinking, and this could indeed avoid the secondary effects caused by changes in Blue Star's operating status to the greatest extent.
Song Xiyun just now was naturally not only struggling with how to choose a plan, but also using her brain to perform high-intensity calculations to make a very objective judgment on each plan.
Through complete calculations, Song Xiyun confirmed that as long as Blue Star's motion state was restored, the situation Tao Zhexuan was worried about would basically not happen.
Although such a probability still exists, compared with the direct destruction of Blue Star Civilization, such a small probability event can still be accepted by them.
And even if such a thing does happen, as long as it can continue to adjust the operating status of Blue Star according to the situation, Blue Star Civilization will still be able to solve these subsequent problems.
"Of course, launching this project does not mean that we will definitely implement this plan. This is just one of our alternative plans. After all, time is too tight now and we really don't have time to wait. Even if this plan is not used in the end, the research on planetary engines is a project that must be carried out, and these invested resources will not be wasted in vain..."
Song Xiyun's words made everyone feel a lot more at ease. At least at this time, they already have some options to choose from, so they will not be helpless when facing the laser weapons of alien civilizations.
Next, several experts put forward some other opinions. None of these opinions are satisfactory, but they are all options that can be considered in this emergency.
After listening to everyone's ideas, Song Xiyun must make his final decision.
In everyone's expectant eyes, Song Xiyun said:
"In addition to starting the planetary engine project, the 'lens' project must also be carried out at the same time. However, I made some modifications to the lens project to make this project more feasible..."
Xu Zhou was very curious about how Song Xiyun would modify his plan, and when he heard Song Xiyun's specific modification suggestions, Xu Zhou couldn't help but admire Song Xiyun even more.
"First of all, according to my calculations, it is basically impossible to create a lens large enough to refract all laser beams outside the Blue Star and launch it into space within a few days. We need to reduce the specifications of the lens. As long as it can protect the safety of a region of the Blue Star, it will be an acceptable result..."
"Then Teacher Song, do we have to give up the lives of the Blue Star people within the remaining range? This is probably not a solution that most people can accept, right?"
"Of course not, I will not give up the lives of most people, but try to ensure the survival of most of the Blue Star people. In the next few days, we will carry out a large-scale migration of the Blue Star people and let them all go to this safe area. According to my calculations, with the number of Blue Star people that this area can accommodate and the current transportation capacity of the Blue Star, this thing can be done..."
