I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 1018 The largest migration in human history

"Yes. We have no other choice." Qin Ke has been thinking about this plan for two days. It can be said that he has considered it carefully. He looked around at everyone: "Either take some risks and leave half of the workers to continue construction, or evacuate all workers, but After the three-month freeze period, if we want to recall so many workers to continue construction, it will take at least another two to three months, and it will definitely be too late to complete the project."

The internal mechanical facilities of the launch tower and the assembly and debugging of functional components can be completed by low light and intelligent robots, but the infrastructure project can only be completed by humans.

Qin Ke said resolutely: "I think these risks must be taken. Moreover, the probability of problems with 'Zhurong's Light' should be further reduced by optimizing the operation algorithm. In the next three months, I will focus on one hundred The status of the fifty-nine launch towers, and try my best to optimize the operation algorithm of 'Zhu Rong Light'. What I need your help now is to transport the core of 'Zhu Rong Light' to these launch towers as much as possible Components, nuclear fuel, and smart robots for construction need to be temporarily built nearby to store enough water, food, and clothing for 100,000 people for three months to ensure that workers and victims can survive the three-month ice period. .”

Edward Witten only thought about it for a few seconds before making a decision. He said to everyone: "Everyone, in terms of understanding of the 'Zhu Rong's Light' and the level of optimization of the algorithm, no one can surpass Academician Qin Ke. He Since I have such confidence, I firmly believe him. And what he said is very reasonable. If we don't take this risk, we will take greater risks in the future. I have made it clear that I agree with Academician Qin's solution. If If an accident does happen, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities together."

Edward had been suffering from a cold recently and was feeling unwell, which made him a little out of breath when he spoke, but his words still conveyed an indelible, sonorous and powerful momentum.

Mr. Qiu also stood up and said: "This is probably the best method we can choose. I also agree with Qin Ke's proposal. If I have to bear infamy in the future, count me in. Regarding material preparations, I am also willing to communicate and coordinate with all parties. relationship and increase material support.”

Two old gentlemen took the lead, and the rest of the people who were still hesitant at first raised their hands in agreement. Not to mention Lao Tao, Ning Qingyun and others, they have always agreed to Qin Ke's decision unconditionally.

This decision-making meeting related to the survival of the entire planet ended quickly. Then Qin Ke issued an announcement to meteorological centers around the world in the name of the "Planet Shield Plan Decision-making Team" and the "Global Extreme Climate Response Command Center" Early warning of secondary changes in Arctic climate and suggestions for evacuation and migration of people.

When the radio waves carried Qin Ke's warning and advice to the capitals of various countries around the world, the whole world seemed to be speechless at this moment.

……

In the city of Zorilsk at the northern end of Goose Country, Professor Vladimir Viktorov, the chief scientist of the Goose Country Meteorological Center, was inspecting here at this time.

This is the northernmost city in the world. The entire city is located in a subarctic climate. It has no four seasons, it is winter every day, and there are at least 300 days of snowflakes in a year. If there is really a city of ice and snow in the world, it must be this city of Zorilsk.

As far as the eye can see, there is white snow, and a bone-chilling chill fills the air everywhere. Goose-feather-like snowflakes rush to cover the city with the cold air, as if they want to bury the entire city.

Professor Viktorov looked at the snowstorm outside the window and murmured to himself: "This year's Zolilsk will probably be completely frozen."

It's only early October, but the minimum temperature has already broken last winter's record.

The whole city has already felt the terrible extreme cold wave coming from the Arctic and is trembling in advance.

Professor Viktorov was also worried about the Arctic anomaly data and photos recently sent back by meteorological satellites, so he came to the city of Zolilsk to get first-hand and most authentic information.

"The team of Academician Qin from Xia State hasn't sent back the final research report yet, right?" Professor Dmitry Sergeyev, a colleague next to him, said unexpectedly.

Although the E Country Meteorological Center now has a strong ability to predict extreme climate disasters, the whole world is now accustomed to waiting for the final judgment from Xia Country before using it as a guide for action. Qin Ke of Xia Country The team has not issued a report for a day, and no one dares to draw the final conclusion easily.

This is something you have to learn to be smart after being slapped in the face countless times.

Professor Viktorov shook his head and said with a look of worry on his face: "Not yet. However, the Academician Qin Group has been very efficient in the past. This time, it has been five days since our data report was sent, but the final research and judgment has not yet been sent back. Report, it is clear that they attach great importance to this and are very cautious. The more their attitude is like this, the more it confirms that our prediction is correct. This climate change in the Arctic will probably cause a lot of trouble."

"It won't be the end of the world, right? Didn't Academician Qin Ke say there won't be the end of the world?" Professor Mitri Sergeyev said this in a joking tone, but he couldn't hide the worry in his heart.

Professor Viktorov sighed: "It is not the end of the world, but for this city, it is probably not far away. Not only the city of Zorilsk, but also the city of Murmansk, Salekhar Cities in Germany, which are located in or close to the Arctic Circle, may become truly frozen cities."

Professor Mitri Sergeyev gasped: "Is it really that bad?"

Before Professor Viktorov could answer, his assistant hurriedly opened the door and said, "Professor Viktorov, Academician Qin Ke of Xia State has personally issued the latest extreme weather warning and evacuation recommendations!"

Professor Viktorov was shocked and immediately took the report. Professor Mitri Sergeyev also leaned over to read it.

Soon the color on both of their faces faded away, and Professor Viktorov's hand holding the report was trembling.

Professor Mitri Sergeyev lost his voice: "Is this a mistake? If we follow the areas defined above, wouldn't 35% of the people in our country have to evacuate, and 41% of the people, including People in the capital must also evacuate as much as possible? Where can we retreat to?"

Professor Viktorov squeezed the report in his hand tightly. The joints on his fingers were a little white from the excessive exertion. He read the report several times before slowly saying: "Copy this report to At the President’s Office, please contact me at the same time. I will personally report to Mr. President tonight.”

The assistant didn't dare to ask more questions when he saw that the professor's expression was not right, so he agreed and hurriedly went to do the work.

Professor Mitri Sergeyev looked at Professor Viktorov in disbelief: "Professor Viktorov, do you really want to propose implementing the recommendations in this report?"

"The report just now stated that Academician Qin Ke will personally connect with the meteorological centers of various countries in the afternoon for further detailed explanations, but since he has issued such a report, there is no way he can make mistakes. The predictions he has made over the years, Have you ever made a mistake?"

"But...he is a scientist from the Xia Kingdom after all, and this evacuation does not involve the Xia Kingdom..." Professor Viktorov was silent for a moment, and then said: "His character and pattern have long transcended nationality, otherwise He would not have issued such warnings and suggestions. The temporary changes in the construction plan of the 159 launch towers, the storage of supplies and the reception of the victims are the best proof. This is not only to save the launch towers, but also to save many people. It is simply impossible for the people who had time to evacuate to survive.”

Professor Mitri Sergeyev could not utter a word of rebuttal. Yes, if this secondary mutation in the Arctic is real, then what could be more devastating to a country than such a natural disaster? No country can withstand the heavy casualties of more than 50% of its people. If Qin Ke was truly selfish, he should conceal such a horrific disaster instead of issuing such a report and evacuation recommendation that would obviously cause great controversy.

"What's more, it has the signatures of all the members of the 'decision-making team'... No one will hide their selfish intentions on such a major matter related to the survival of the world. As the idiom of the Xia Kingdom goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. There are nearly 500 launch bases in our country. Tower, this is directly related to the success or failure of the 'Planet Shield' plan." Professor Viktorov took a deep breath, suppressed the heaviness in his heart, and said in a firm tone:

"No matter how difficult it is, we must carry out it for the sake of the survival of the people and the future of the country and the nation."

……

Similar conversations occur in most countries in the northern hemisphere.

No country dared to ignore Qin Ke's report. Qin Ke connected with meteorological centers around the world through video conferencing that day to conduct professional data interpretation and explain the basis for making these suggestions. In the next three days, , he held more than 20 meetings with representatives of various countries involved in the large and small circles, and was very busy.

Respected senior scientists such as Mr. Rainer Weiss have also given full play to their influence and persuaded various powerful countries to extend a helping hand to severely affected countries as much as possible. This is not only for humanitarian reasons, but also for the sake of disaster. Ensure the smooth advancement of the "Planet Shield" plan.

In the face of such a natural disaster that seriously threatens the survival of mankind, no matter what their thoughts are, all countries in the world can only work together to tide over the difficulties. Otherwise, the "planetary shield" plan fails and the entire human race in the world will face catastrophe.

Naturally, such important news cannot be hidden from the media and the people of the world. The whole world has once again fallen into tension and uneasiness. The Internet is full of various discussions, and panic spreads rapidly.

Qin Ke stood up decisively again and held a press conference for the whole world. He explained to the public the causes and evolution trends of this Arctic climate change in the form of popular science, and how to solve this problem through the "Planet Shield" plan. A way to solve it once and for all.

It has to be said that Qin Ke's lofty prestige and excellent image and reputation in extreme climates played a huge role. The originally spreading panic and soaring prices were abruptly stopped. Although there was still some turmoil and uneasiness, There are still many people stocking up on supplies for the winter, but the well-ordered material supply chain established in the past few years and the widespread knowledge of disaster prevention and response have made these negative impacts within controllable limits.

The green fruit and vegetable varieties previously developed by the Lime Plant Breeding Laboratory based on "computational seed science" and can be easily grown on balconies and indoors have entered thousands of households and have become the best green vegetable reserves for overwintering. .

At the same time, Green Lemon Technology was the first to announce a donation of 20 billion yuan, demonstrating social responsibility and responsibility. Many large companies, especially multinational companies, groups, and chaebols, had to follow suit in the face of huge pressure from public opinion. Those who had money and those who had the capacity to contribute, helped people in severely affected countries receive great relief, and the largest migration of people and materials in human history soon began.

As a major Spring Festival travel country, Xia State has billions of passengers traveling every Spring Festival. It has rich experience in this regard. Xia State has also actively shared its Spring Festival travel experience and vigorously assisted surrounding high-latitude countries in implementing this migration. Action has won an excellent international reputation and reputation.

As the calendar turns rapidly, the extremely cold and huge air currents from the Arctic begin to expand outward.

If you look down at the entire northern hemisphere from a weather satellite at this time, you will see...oh, you will probably not be able to see anything except thick black clouds. But if you look through the camera of a drone flying under the clouds, you can see a long queue of countless vehicles and people, slowly moving towards the south in the howling cold wind, like countless moving teams of ants.

The drone buzzed and flew towards the north along these long lines with no end or end in sight.

The further north you go, you can see that the crowds are getting bigger and more panicked, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. Many areas have received their first snow in mid-October.

Hu Yanfei is from the Xia Kingdom, but he has been doing business in Siberia for a long time, and he thinks he is quite adaptable to the severe cold here. If Academician Qin Ke had not personally issued the call, and the country he was in had repeatedly issued evacuation mobilization orders, and even stated that it would force evacuation, Hu Yanfei probably would not have Will be willing to leave behind his belongings in Siberia and leave. Even during the evacuation, he was still somewhat reluctant, feeling distressed for the hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of goods that were destined to be lost.

But now he was filled with joy of escaping the disaster.

Because he found that the temperature drop in Siberia was extremely tight this time! Hu Yanfei had never seen it snow so early, and it was a blizzard that was freezing to the bone!

You must know that last year’s winter, known as “the coldest and longest in the past century”, only saw the first wave of cooling in early November, and it didn’t snow until the third day after the cooling!

Hu Yanfei had already driven south from his original city for two days. Although he only traveled more than 300 kilometers due to traffic jams, it should be significantly warmer here than in his original city. Unexpectedly, on the night when the temperature dropped, A strong wind immediately started blowing, and half an hour later it turned into a manic blizzard that was shocking.

The north wind was like a knife slaughtering all living beings in the world. Even the cars were shaken by the blow. The snowflakes in the sky almost completely froze the earth. Compared with the snowstorms Hu Yanfei had seen in the past, this time it can be called "gentle".

The center console showed that the temperature outside the car had dropped below minus 30 degrees Celsius!

This also made Hu Yanfei truly realize the horror of nature, and he felt a bit of awe from the bottom of his heart. He held the steering wheel tightly, carefully stabilized the car and continued to move forward.

It is now almost ten days before the "Arctic super cold wave" mentioned by Academician Qin is fully launched. The temperature drop and wind and snow are already so severe that Hu Yanfei simply cannot imagine what kind of "ice and snow purgatory" this place will become in ten days.

Fortunately, ten days were enough for him to escape from this "purgatory area" enclosed by Academician Qin.

Along the way, Hu Yanfei also rescued several Xia compatriots whose cars broke down.

As Academician Qin called for, now is the time for humans to join hands and support each other to survive this last extreme cold winter.

The Xia country compatriots expressed gratitude: "Thank you, brother! You saved our lives!"

"You're welcome. If you really want to thank me, just thank Academician Qin." Hu Yanfei looked far into the distance. Visibility was not high under the wind and snow, but he could still see endless crowds of cars and vehicles.

Hu Yanfei knew that all the people who evacuated south owed their lives to Academician Qin - without Academician Qin's early warning and strong advice, these people would probably become ice sculptures in Siberia.
