Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

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 infiltrate the Blue Star civilization with great difficulty, but now it was completely interrupted.

"No matter what, we have at least obtained the information from Pierce that Ning Chen has temporarily left. As long as Ning Chen cannot come back before then, we still have a great chance of destroying the entire Blue Planet."

"That's right. Even if Ning Chen rushed back at this time, it would be too late. It takes time to prepare to fight against our high-power laser weapons. After all, Blue Star is a fixed target. It is impossible for them to let Blue Star escape the attack range of laser weapons."

At this moment, Pierce was not just "asked" to leave the meeting room. Although Song Xiyun's words were relatively polite, Pierce's current situation was no different from being under house arrest.

Pierce is currently in a room where he cannot communicate with the outside world through the Internet or other means, and can only contact specific staff arranged by Song Xiyun.

Of course, the room is also fully equipped with all other facilities. Judging from the facilities alone, it is not inferior to the standards of a five-star hotel.

Realizing his situation, Pierce still did not resist. After experiencing the difficult time on Mars, Pierce had acquired very strong psychological qualities and could adapt to various environments.

In the conference room on the other side, Song Xiyun also began to explain the whole story of the incident.

"We have just discovered that this alien civilization has launched extremely powerful laser weapons at us. Theoretically, these laser weapons can completely destroy the surface of the blue planet. We must find a way to deal with them before they reach the blue planet..."

After hearing what Song Xiyun said, everyone's expressions became serious.

One of the experts immediately raised his hand and said:
"I think it's best 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 after this crisis is over, it won't be 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 his head firmly and said:

"Unless we have not found a solution before these laser weapons arrive at Blue Star one day later, we will never notify Academician Ning Chen in advance. The work done by Academician Ning Chen this time is very important. It is related to whether the civilization of Blue Star can defeat this alien civilization. We cannot only focus on the difficulties in front of us and ignore more important things. We believe that with the ability of Academician Ning Chen, this problem can be solved within one day."

After hearing what Song Xiyun said, everyone stopped talking about waking up Ning Chen in advance and started thinking about how 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, but there was currently no particularly good practical operation 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, although it is not particularly realistic, but if everyone is willing, I can also talk about this direction."

"Academician Tao Zhexuan, please speak freely. We welcome any solutions that can help Blue Star solve this crisis. No matter how slim the possibility of realization of these solutions is, at least they can open up new directions for us."

Seeing Song Xiyun say this, Tao Zhexuan no longer hesitated and told everyone about the plan in his brain through the biological computer program.

"The core element of my plan is to temporarily change the normal operating state of Blue Star so that it 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 own operating state, it is theoretically possible to avoid this crisis..."

After listening to Tao Zhexuan's proposal, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Just as Tao Zhexuan himself said at the beginning, this plan is indeed as difficult to implement as Xu Zhou's plan, and it may even be more difficult.

It is conceivable that an enormous amount of energy is required to change the operating state of a planet like Blue Star. Even if all of Blue Star's current energy is exhausted, it may not necessarily have a significant impact on its operating state.

But no matter what, Tao Zhexuan's plan still provides everyone with valuable direction, and when necessary, such a plan is worth trying.

"Academician Tao Zhexuan, do you have any ideas about the specific operations of implementing this plan? I believe you are not just proposing a pure theory, right?"

Although Song Xiyun and Tao Zhexuan were not very familiar with each other before and had never communicated alone, Song Xiyun had accompanied Ning Chen and Tao Zhexuan to meet several times, so she had a certain understanding of Tao Zhexuan.

Tao Zhexuan is a very rational person. After communicating with Ning Chen several times, Tao Zhexuan has become more "realistic". He will not focus his research entirely on pure mathematical theory, but habitually consider the possible application directions.

After being transformed by brain biological computer technology, Tao Zhexuan became even more powerful and repeatedly broke through his previous limitations in the field of mathematical research.

Hearing Song Xiyun's words, Tao Zhexuan nodded and said:

"Yes, Mr. Song, I have also thought about the relevant application methods. In fact, as long as we are willing, we are fully capable of creating a planetary engine with sufficient power within two days and drive the movement state of the blue planet to change. Although this process consumes extremely huge amounts of energy, if it is only run for a short period of time, considering our existing resources on the blue planet, it is still enough for us to use..."

When saying these words, Tao Zhexuan's expression was still very serious, and it can be seen that there are still some things that Tao Zhexuan cares more about.

"Academician Tao Zhexuan, what is the biggest problem with this plan?" "The most difficult part of this plan is not in theory or application, but the consequences of this method are difficult to estimate. Although the operating state of the blue planet has not changed over the years, and it can even be said that it has been changing all the time, the process is extremely slow. If we suddenly and drastically change the motion state of the blue planet, I don't know what consequences this will cause..."

After hearing Tao Zhexuan's opinions, the conference room fell silent again.

Everyone knew something about astrophysics and understood what Tao Zhexuan was worried about.

The stars, planets and satellites in these solar systems have been able to maintain a delicate balance over a long period of time.

It is precisely this extremely delicate balance that allows the Blue Planet to have such a suitable environment, allowing humans and various other creatures to survive on the Blue Planet.

If this state of balance is changed without authorization, the environment of the Blue Planet may also undergo drastic changes. Under the premise that such changes cannot be predicted, no one dares to take this heavy responsibility.

"In fact, I personally still don't want to talk about this plan. At present, this plan has too many obvious flaws. As long as the relationship between specific changes and the corresponding impacts is thoroughly studied, this will be a relatively mature plan. But at this time, I still have to put forward this immature plan, and I hope 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. I am afraid that the only one who is capable of giving Tao Zhexuan advice in this field is Ning Chen.

At this time, Ning Chen was still busy analyzing the system principles. If Ning Chen could come back, everyone would not be so anxiously discussing how 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 and try to clear the obstacles for you..."

Everyone felt a little unbelievable that Song Xiyun agreed so readily to let Tao Zhexuan implement this plan. After all, they had not yet solved some of the problems that might arise from this plan, but Song Xiyun had already agreed to carry out this plan and provide 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 so. After all, this was not a joking project.

Realizing that everyone was somewhat confused about her decision, Song Xiyun immediately explained:

"The issue we are most worried about now is whether the change in the operating state of the Blue Planet will affect the future of the Blue Planet and the entire solar system. According to my calculations, such a change can be avoided to the greatest extent. The corresponding method is to first slow down the Blue Planet, then speed it up, so that the Blue Planet can return to the same operating state as before..."

After listening to Song Xiyun's explanation, everyone finally understood what Song Xiyun was thinking, and this can indeed avoid the secondary effects caused by changes in the operating state of the Blue Planet to the greatest extent.

Just now, Song Xiyun was naturally not just struggling with how to choose a plan, but was using her brain to perform high-intensity calculations to make very objective judgments on each plan.

Through complete calculations, Song Xiyun confirmed that as long as the movement state of the Blue Star was restored, the situation that 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 low-probability event is still acceptable to them.

And even if such a thing really happens, as long as the Blue Star civilization can continue to adjust the operating status of the Blue Star according to the situation, it will still be able to solve these subsequent problems.

"Of course, launching this project does not mean that we will definitely implement it. 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..."

Song Xiyun's words made everyone feel a lot more at ease. At least at this time, they already had some options to choose from, so they would not be helpless when facing the laser weapons of alien civilizations.

Next, several experts put forward some other opinions. None of these opinions is satisfactory, but they are all options that can be considered in this emergency.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Song Xiyun had to make her final decision.

Amid everyone's expectant gaze, 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 have 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. When he heard Song Xiyun's specific suggestions for modification, 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 Planet and launch it into space within a few days. We need to reduce the specifications of the lens. As long as it can ensure the safety of a certain area of ​​the Blue Planet, it will be an acceptable result..."

"Then Mr. Song, do we have to give up the lives of the remaining Blue Star people within the 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 will try my best 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, based on the number of Blue Star people that this area can accommodate and the current transportation capacity of Blue Star, this is completely doable..."
