Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 45 Micro Fireworks Show
Gu Changshan's tone remained serious and calm, as if he were just talking about something very normal.

But to Jiang Yang, those few words sounded as heavy as a mountain.

He seemed to see, after those words, the millions of scientists, engineers and workers at the two probe bases, the countless helicopters and transport planes shuttling through the sky, and the countless workers bustling in the factory.

It took mobilizing the entire nation's resources, even resorting to strategic weapons like intercontinental ballistic missiles, to achieve this result in just ten days.

Jiang Yang took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

It was still that familiar experimental hall, and it was still those familiar people.

With half an hour to go before the end of the world, the hall was completely silent.

After familiarizing himself with the changes in this experiment, Jiang Yang lay back down in the chair, letting all sorts of devices connect to his body.

Then, another person in a white coat came in carrying a refrigerated box.

Jiang Yang glanced at Sun Changhe, then at Gu Changshan, then at Lu Zhaoming, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhou Yu.

"Want a shot?"

Zhou Yu's expression was tense, and he forced a smile: "There is a very important branch of psychology, near-death psychology..."

"Come on, come on."

Jiang Yang interrupted her directly: "Last time you were rolling on the ground in pain, and you even told me to make sure you got the injection this time. If you don't have the willpower, don't pretend to be a steel warrior. Just get the injection."

"what?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback, her face growing even paler: "Really?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Zhou Yu stood there for a moment, looking lost and bewildered, then gritted her teeth and said, "Director Sun, do you... do you have any extra painkillers?"

"Yes, anyone who wants to play can."

Sun Changhe waved, and another doctor came in carrying a refrigerated box.

He looked at Jiang Yang: "So, all of us made it through?"

"Well, it doesn't really matter. If you can suffer less, then you can suffer less."

Sun Changhe smiled and shook his head.

Zhou Yu lay down on another recliner, and two injections were simultaneously injected into Jiang Yang and her body.

There is only one minute left.

The atmosphere inside the experimental hall had become so heavy it was almost tangible.

In that familiar sense of detachment, Jiang Yang seemed to be floating above his own body, manipulating it like a robot as he turned to look at Zhou Yu not far away and called out, "Hey, do you still want that prank in the next life?"

Zhou Yu's voice sounded exceptionally ethereal and distant at this moment: "As you wish..."

"Countdown, 10, 9, 8... 0!"

The instant the time changed to 0:00:00, Jiang Yang saw people in the experimental hall looking up with surprise, shock, and confusion, as if trying to see clearly what had changed.

But people saw nothing.

Everything outside seemed normal, but the changes happening inside the body were very real.

Countless people's expressions turned ferocious, and countless others began to howl in pain.

Jiang Yang's attention remained undisturbed, still focused on the screen in front of him.

However, no data has been generated at this time.

"The observation, generation, analysis, and summarization of data also take some time."

He thought silently. At this moment, in the numerous muon detection cloud chambers distributed around the world, the frequency of "ballistics" appearing in the supersaturated steam remained the same as before, neither slowing down nor speeding up.

Those "trajectories" are traces left by the saturated steam as the particles penetrated it.

The fact that the frequency did not change indicates that the intensity of muon radiation did not change at this moment.

The data observed by the Muon detector was transmitted to the Arctic 4 supercomputer in just tens of milliseconds via optical fiber and radio waves.

Including the one that was just built in China, all four of the world's only gravitational wave detectors are operating normally and have maximized their detection accuracy.

The laser moves back and forth within the vacuum chamber, constantly and precisely measuring the changes in distance within its surrounding space.

The data they generate is also transmitted in real time to the Arctic 4 supercomputer for unified analysis and processing. So far, no anomalies have been detected.

Moriyama Neutrino Detection Center.

The inside of the completely sealed telescope was pitch black, with no light and almost no radiation.

More than 50,000 tons of pure water are quietly stored inside the large tank, in an almost absolutely stable state.

Because it is located at an extremely deep underground location, even the most penetrating particles can only reach this place and interfere with observations less than twice a year, which is negligible.

Within the known scope of humankind, only neutrinos can reach this point.

On average, about once every hour, a rather unlucky neutrino will happen to hit the nucleus of a hydrogen or oxygen atom, exciting muons and electrons, which in turn causes Cherenkov radiation, releasing a faint blue light in the pure and black water, which is then captured by thousands of photomultiplier tubes.

At this moment, a faint light blooms in the pure water.

Of course, this only applies to highly sensitive instruments. Even if its intensity were increased ten thousand times, it would still be impossible for the naked eye to see it.

This ray of light was precisely captured and then transmitted in real time to the Arctic 4 supercomputer.

This did not attract the attention of the analysis program, because it would likely be this frequency under normal circumstances.

But the next moment, less than a second later, another blue light appeared. Then a third, a fourth…

At this moment, inside the pure and pitch-black water tank of the Moriyama Neutrino Telescope, in a darkness absolutely imperceptible to the human eye, a magnificent fireworks display in the microscopic world is unfolding.

Similar situations are occurring simultaneously in six neutrino detectors located elsewhere on Earth, which are temporarily under the control of domestic scientific teams.

A torrent of observational data surged toward the Arctic 4 supercomputer. Under the control of a pre-programmed analysis procedure, the relevant signals were generated and presented to Jiang Yang in the form of charts of different colors.

Jiang Yang's pupils suddenly widened.

Having gone through several rounds of cyclical learning, he can now roughly understand the meaning of the data in the chart.

Those are neutrinos!

At the time of the apocalypse, the intensity of neutrino radiation received by Earth increased by at least 200 times in an instant!
But how could neutrinos possibly cause acute radiation sickness?

He quickly memorized the chart in front of him, then turned to look to the side and saw that Professor Lu Zhaoming was already on his deathbed.

He still stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, his face full of confusion.

Some readers have questioned whether this book is a short story, so I'd like to clarify here: this book is not a short story; it's quite long, at least over 200 million words.

Of course, the story's pace will remain unchanged. Readers don't need to worry that the author will be stuck in the current plot and rely on padding and dragging out the story to reach 200 million words.

As for how the author specifically arranged it, dear readers, please read on patiently.

The author already has a clear outline and synopsis of the entire book in mind and will complete it according to plan, so please rest assured, dear readers.

Because it's Monday, this chapter will be updated at 00:01 AM, and the second update will be at 19:00 PM as usual.

Also, a new week has begun, and I hope you, my dear readers, will continue to support me!
