Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 110 Go all out
Stepping out of his rented room and onto the main street, Jiang Yang saw a bustling scene of cars and people.

A sense of urban prosperity washes over you.

Jiang Yang felt almost no emotional fluctuation, but a smile appeared on his lips.

"It's better to have a human-inhabited Earth..."

More than an hour later, Jiang Yang sat in the confidential conference room, just like in the previous cycle. After several more hours of detailed explanation and communication, all the attendees accepted the intelligence he had brought.

Next comes the most important piece of information: the intelligence I gained in my previous life.

From the moment they entered the passage, Jiang Yang recounted in detail everything they had seen, including the age of the underground passage and chambers, the various pieces of information detected, and most importantly, the various texts recorded there.

At this moment, the image, which had undergone multiple compressions, had been decompressed into numerous text characters after Jiang Yang explained the compression algorithm to him.

These texts were then presented to the many attendees.

Sun Changhe said seriously, "Immediately hand it over to experts in information encoding, text deciphering, and other fields for interpretation."

The action must be swift, and all involved institutions must cooperate unconditionally.

"Yes."

Gu Changshan agreed and immediately went to make the arrangements.

After arranging this matter, Sun Changhe looked at Jiang Yang: "Based on our judgments from previous lives, and the information you and the astronauts discovered on the moon, I believe the situation is as follows:"

That underground floating city was the culprit behind the extinction of human civilization, and it could be destroyed by a hydrogen bomb. The only obstacle was a negative matter field shield of unknown principle surrounding the floating city, preventing any external object from entering.

The key to ending the apocalypse lies in how to deliver the hydrogen bomb into the underground chamber.

Based on your research on the object that you speculate to be a spacecraft carrier, you believe that superconducting materials may be able to penetrate the protective layer of this negative matter field, allowing us to successfully deliver the hydrogen bomb into the underground chamber and destroy it.

Jiang Yang nodded slightly: "Yes."

Sun Changhe looked at Lu Zhaoming.

Lu Zhaoming pondered for a moment and said, "Comrade Jiang Yang, the first thing we must clarify is that our scientific system does not cover anything like the so-called negative matter field, and we don't know whether superconducting materials can really resist its influence."

Of course, this does not affect our subsequent judgment—in any case, this is a point that can be tried to break through, our only hope, and we must give it a try.

Let's assume for now that superconducting materials can indeed resist the influence of negative matter fields.

However, there is a problem: is it that a certain material with superconducting properties also has the ability to resist the influence of negative matter fields, or is it that any material with superconducting properties has the ability to resist the influence?
These two are different. Did you conduct any further analysis, research, or judgment on this matter initially?

Jiang Yang was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't really thought of that before. But clearly, Professor Lu Zhaoming's analysis made a lot of sense.

Is it "superconductivity" that resists the negative matter field, or is it the material with superconducting properties that resists the negative matter field?
For example, a knife made of metal has electrical conductivity because it is made of metal.

In certain emergency situations, it can temporarily serve as a connector between two electrical wires. Someone unfamiliar with the underlying principles might then assume that any knife-shaped object can conduct electricity.

But this is actually incorrect. Only by understanding the principle of electrical conduction can one understand that what truly makes it conductive is its material itself, not its shape.

Just like now, what might have withstood the onslaught of the negative matter field was the material itself; its superconducting properties were merely a matter of its "shape," completely irrelevant. Jiang Yang shook his head slightly: "We couldn't obtain any more information from it at the time."

But I think that's equally unimportant. What's important is that, apart from this, we have no other routes to try.

We have no choice but to try and follow this path. Whether it will be successful or not, we'll only know once we actually try.

Professor Lu Zhaoming nodded silently.

Sun Changhe looked at him: "Then Professor Lu, do we have the capability to manufacture a superconducting material shield, complete its delivery to the moon, and make it operate in the lunar environment?"

Jiang Yang said in a deep voice, "One point that needs special attention is that the area where the underground floating city is located cannot be powered by electricity. If this superconducting material shield needs power, it can only rely on mechanical energy."

Professor Lu Zhaoming's forehead was beaded with sweat: "I need to discuss this."

Half an hour later, he logged back in.

"First of all, it is clear that we humans do not currently have any materials that can maintain superconductivity at temperatures around minus 30 degrees Celsius under normal pressure or even in a vacuum."

The most advanced achievement in high-temperature superconductivity research to date is copper-based superconductivity, which can maintain its superconducting state at a maximum temperature of around -140 degrees Celsius under normal pressure or even vacuum conditions.

This is 110 degrees Celsius lower than the temperature of the underground chamber and passageway, which was minus 30 degrees Celsius.

If we were to use superconducting materials that are already in mass production, the upper temperature limit would be -180 degrees Celsius, with a temperature difference of 150 degrees Celsius.

This means we must create an environment with sufficiently low temperatures for these materials to exhibit superconducting properties.

If electricity is available, the problem will be much simpler; at worst, we can just send a cooling system up.

But if we can't use electricity... then we'll have to design a cooling system that's powered by human labor or chemical energy. This system also needs to be mobile. Combined with the unique lunar environment and the specific requirements of the mission, this will be very complex and difficult.

Just by thinking about it, Jiang Yang could tell just how complicated and cumbersome such a device would be.

But he also knew that this was the only way, and it had to be done.

There is no second way to go.

Sun Changhe looked calmly at Lu Zhaoming: "We have no other choice."

"Assemble relevant experts and have them manufacture this device within five days."

Lu Zhaoming stood up, his voice trembling slightly. "Yes."

Sun Changhe turned to look at Jiang Yang, his gaze filled with gentle warmth.

"Comrade Jiang Yang, thank you for your patience, sacrifice and dedication."

It is because of your many reincarnations that we in this life can see the dawn of hope.

I cannot guarantee that this era will necessarily see the end of the world, but I can guarantee that the entire nation, and indeed the entire civilization, will give it their all.
