Hammer of Technology

Headquarters of CERN in Switzerland.

The world's high-energy physics research center, which was once prosperous for a while, has experienced multiple blows such as the reduction of key scientists and investment in recent years, but it has not completely become lonely.There are still many professors coming here one after another.For no other reason, many secrets of the microcosm still have to be revealed through a huge collider.

And joining at this time is actually an opportunity.Some projects that were once dismissed by the management now have the opportunity to use the equipment here for research and verification.Especially for many doctoral students, a letter of introduction from their supervisor makes it easier for them to gain a foothold in CERN, a large research institution, which is undoubtedly good for many latecomers.

You know it wasn't so easy before.

It was time for a break, and many scientists were watching the live broadcast in their own ways.At this time, if March's attention is here, call up the surveillance shots one by one, and you will see many scenes that you like to hear and see.

For example, someone is drinking coffee in front of the coffee machine, but he is watching the live broadcast without blinking his eyes. The cup of coffee has already been filled without knowing it, and the overflowing coffee has flowed to the ground...

Someone else stood up from the chair, raised his head, opened his mouth unconsciously, as if he had never seen the world.But he was wearing an expensive suit, and he knew it was expensive at a glance.

Some even stared at the screen, sometimes frowning, sometimes in a daze, and even pulled their hair unconsciously.

More people picked up their mobile phones and started making calls; if several people were watching together, a heated debate would ensue at this moment, and some even thought that these images were fake and a complete hoax...

It's a pity that today is not April Fool's Day, otherwise this kind of saying probably has a lot of market.

Of course, whether it is fake or not, in fact, all parties have verified it. After all, there are satellites in the sky. As long as there are accurate positioning, maybe anyone with satellites in the sky can take pictures of this unprecedented aerial work platform...

After all, this large aerial mobile platform has just been launched into the sky, and today's live broadcast has only started for 10 minutes. According to the previous forecast, this live broadcast will last for a full two hours, including an air rescue exercise.

In other words, it is easy to verify whether the Mir will be swaggering in the air for a long time, is it a scam...

------------

511 Congratulations

And so it is.

This live broadcast for the whole world has just been carried out for about 10 minutes, and countless extremely important calls from all over the world are ringing one after another.

God knows how many big shots turned on various devices after receiving the call and began to watch the live broadcast.There are many more people who have to rush to work after get off work, because the next task is actually very heavy.Some people want to check the authenticity, some people want more information, some people see these and feel that they may not be able to sleep well at night, and they have to let others sleep well...

Of course, the most emotion is shock.

Shocked with these pictures, and the unknown background hidden behind these pictures.

High-rise buildings cannot be built in a day. The taller the building, the more stable the foundation needs to be.What can be displayed for everyone to see is far from the scariest.What is really scary is what is hidden and refused to be shown.

Taking a step back, in this era of countless disciplines, sending a large platform comparable to an aircraft carrier to the sky, how terrifying the related technology is, as long as you have received nine years of compulsory education, know that the earth is round, and understand gravity Anyone with an acceleration equal to 9.81m/s^2 can think of it as long as they are willing to use their brains.

In this way, under the expectation of everyone, the live broadcast screen finally switched to Mir.

……

"Hi everyone, I'm Tan Shuang, the shipboard reporter for this live broadcast. I'm standing on the Mir, which is undergoing its first trial voyage. This is the crew rest area of ​​the Mir, and it's also the floor closest to the deck. Everyone It can be seen that the space here is huge, and there are no common load-bearing columns inside, but a large and open place."

The camera began to slowly sweep across the interior of the fifth-floor ship. At this time, the reporter's position was indeed very large, the size of another football field.Divided into several recreational areas.The overall space is still open, and some internal personnel have already sat and drank coffee in the place where drinks are provided, but more people are still looking out from the railing on the edge of the ship.

"I was really excited at this time. Because before boarding the Mir today, I didn't expect this mobile aerial work platform to be so huge! Please forgive me, I can only describe it as huge, not really It’s impossible to experience that kind of shock when standing on it. Now we are cruising at an altitude of about 6000 meters, and you can see that the Mir is surrounded by clouds...”

The camera is aimed at the outside of the cabin, which is actually similar to what you see on the plane, with stacked white clouds below.But it’s not like you can only look at the high altitude through a small window on the plane. The overall transparent outer wall allows people to have a clear view of the high altitude.

The wide field of vision makes people feel refreshed, as if they are really in the sky.

"I have noticed that the netizens on the live barrage have many questions, but unfortunately, the Mir is about to conduct a rescue exercise. As the chief designer of the Mir, Professor Luo Zhiqiang needs to personally direct this exercise, so there is no time to accept us. On-site interview. However, we were honored to invite Dr. Cheng Xiaolu, a student of Professor Luo and also the publicity ambassador of Mir, to popularize some basic information about Mir. You can also actively ask questions in the bullet screen, and valuable questions will be asked Select it, and then Dr. Cheng will explain it to everyone."

After the voice fell, the camera began to move back, and then Cheng Xiaolu and the reporter all appeared in the camera. At this moment, Cheng Xiaolu gained enough exposure that many people would envy.Even though the live broadcast did not attract such a large amount of attention at the beginning, it is no exaggeration to say that at least one-fifth of the people in the world are following the live broadcast at this moment, and the group of people at the top of the pyramid in all walks of life in the world has at least 90.00% are deeply concerned.

This kind of treatment is really not something an ordinary doctoral student can enjoy.

"Hello, Dr. Cheng."

"Hi reporter Tan, just call me Xiaolu."

Cheng Xiaolu, who was on camera for the first time, brushed her hair casually in order to relieve her nervousness.

"Okay, Xiaolu, you should have seen it on our live barrage just now. Our netizens were very excited to see the Mir launch. Now everyone is very concerned about the basic situation of the Mir. You Can you briefly introduce it to our netizens?"

"Okay, Reporter Tan. Now let me introduce some basic parameters of the Mir to you, first-hand data."

I have to say that Cheng Xiaolu is still very photogenic, especially her psychological quality is good, and she does not have any stage fright when facing the camera: "Our Mir has a maximum length of 1776 meters, a usable deck gliding length of 1667 meters, and the widest point is 583 meters. , from the bottom to the top of the command tower reaches a maximum of 46 meters, with an average height of 38 meters. In the words of netizens, it is a real big guy."

"The maximum loading capacity of the Mir is 6.5 tons, which is roughly equivalent to the displacement of a medium-sized aircraft carrier. But our Mir is actually quite different from an aircraft carrier. My teacher, Professor Luo, who is also the chief designer of the Mir, In other words, the Mir is actually an empty shelf, and Academician Ning, the chief scientist of the Mir, also agrees with this statement, and said that the most advanced part of the Mir lies in the main material it uses.”

"For example, the Mir's power system is actually a very common electric drive technology in the laboratory. At the same time, the Mir's imitation gravity system is also very simple and can only affect the inner area of ​​​​the control tower, so the Mir does not have the ability to stay in space for a long time to achieve space. The ability to teleport…”

"Ah, wait, Xiaolu, I'm sorry, let me interrupt, you just mean that our Mir has the ability to shuttle into space?"

"Yes, Reporter Tan. Mir can stay in space for a short time. According to current standards, the maximum time in space is recommended to be no more than 100 hours. In extreme cases, it can stay in space for 135 hours, which is about six days. look."

"Oh my God, do we have plans to go into space today? To be honest, this is really exciting. After all, it is still very exciting for an ordinary person who has not been trained to go into space. I believe that the majority of netizens Surely they are too?"

Cheng Xiaolu smiled and said: "Well, there is a plan to enter space orbit in today's live broadcast plan. We will return to the atmosphere immediately after orbiting the earth for a week. This is part of this long-distance voyage test. But unfortunately, For safety reasons, all staff including myself who have not been trained in space weightlessness will be evacuated by plane before Mir enters space."

"Ah, what a pity. Well, then you go on, Xiaolu."

"Well, I just said that the Mir serves all mankind. Academician Ning Wei also mentioned this in his video conference. The biggest difference between our Mir and an aircraft carrier is that the Mir is a civilian ship. In addition to constantly testing performance, the most important role is to improve the happiness level of all human beings for the benefit of the people."

"So in the future, the Mir will take on the most important tasks of rescue, transportation, scientific research, and space services. Rescue is mainly for civil aircraft in the air. When an emergency occurs, our Mir can provide air rescue; transportation is mainly for ground-air Transportation, as we just said, Mir has the ability to stay in space for a short period of time, which gives Mir the ability to deliver satellites."

"According to the calculation of the maximum stay in space of [-] hours, combined with the load capacity of Mir, we have the ability to deliver hundreds of satellites into the predetermined orbit at one time. At the same time, we can also provide repair and maintenance platforms to complete satellites in outer space. The task of renovating and repairing the telescope can greatly extend the use time of various space satellites. At the same time, we can also provide recycling services for old satellites.”

"Besides, the most important function of the Mir is a future-oriented large-scale international response disaster relief platform. The ultra-long battery life and support capabilities enable the Mir to have ultra-fast response and global delivery capabilities. Arrive at the disaster site as soon as the disaster information is received, no matter where the disaster occurs. After the Mir arrives, it can establish a temporary but reliable communication network for the disaster area as soon as possible, and through the surrounding exploration, determine the possible occurrence Secondary damage and provide early warning."

"At the same time, the Mir itself can also provide emergency rescue supplies and crisis rescue centers for the disaster-stricken areas in an emergency. If conditions permit, it can also transport the injured to the Mir for emergency medical treatment and transfer services. And these are the reasons that Academician Ning followed. The original intention of all the staff of our Qingshan Research Center to design and build the Mir. Of course, before providing these services to countries and regions other than China, we will seek local consent."

"It's so amazing. Some of our netizens asked, the moment Mir lifted off, it seemed like clouds and mist were transpiring. Is there any explanation for this?"

"Oh, because the Mir is a large-scale aerial work platform for civilian use, under normal circumstances we will not carry weapons on the voyage, so we need to have a certain self-protection capability. Therefore, the Mir emphasized its stealth function at the beginning of the design. In During the live broadcast just now, everyone saw that the same cloud floating from the mountains is actually one of Mir’s stealth capabilities. At the same time, its body can also filter multi-band radar waves.”

"In this way, we can avoid unnecessary troubles during the daily cruise of the Mir. These are all security efforts to better serve the people of the world. Of course, even if we encounter the threat of force, we will Not afraid. In an emergency, we can quickly enter space to avoid some possible attacks."

"Of course, netizens should rest assured that although our Mir is mainly for everyone, we also have comprehensive considerations for protecting our own safety. There are not many weapons on this planet that can really pose a threat to Mir. .And even in the most dangerous situation, all personnel on the Mir have enough time to safely evacuate with the vehicle, and have the ability to independently choose the crash site under any circumstances."

"Eh... independently choose the crash site?"

"Yes, in fact, if the Mir is decommissioned normally in the future, according to the original design, it will enter space and fly to the sun under automatic control, which will not cause any burden to the earth. But if it crashes in the atmosphere due to an accident, because the Mir itself Due to its particularity, the consequences may be dire. Fortunately, according to our deduction, Mir’s self-preservation capabilities allow it to ensure that the crash site it chooses will minimize China’s losses no matter how critical it is.

how to say……

These words are really very level. As for where the crash will cause the least loss to Huaxia, that is a matter of opinion...

There are many directions to understanding.But this kind of question is actually very similar to a brain teaser that has been circulated among student groups for many years, where are you not afraid of acne?

Basically, the most standard answer is probably that acne grows on other people, and I am not afraid at all.

"Ugh..."

Just as Cheng Xiaolu's voice fell, the alarm in the cabin suddenly sounded.Everyone moved immediately and gathered towards the stern. Cheng Xiaolu was not in a hurry, and continued to speak to the camera calmly: "This is the warning signal that today's rescue drill is about to start. Let all the crew members take their positions. We only need to Need to rush to the relatively safer command tower within 10 minutes."

"Of course, this rescue exercise is mainly to simulate the air rescue operation carried out by Mir when it receives a business jet facing a double-engine failure in the air. The whole process will also be broadcast live to all audiences. Next, everyone will see the whole rescue process."

"Okay, thank you Cheng Xiaolu, then please continue to pay attention to the rescue operation of the Mir. Thank you for your attention."

When Reporter Tan's voice fell, the signal switched to the scene of the Mir flying through the clouds.

……

Huaxia, Beijing, Yanbei University, International Mathematical Research Center.

Ning Wei, who was sitting at the desk, raised his hand after seeing the screen change and turned off the simultaneous live broadcast.

It was concluded that Cheng Xiaolu was doing well.So he doesn't need to watch the next rescue exercise, it's meaningless. The whole rescue process has been simulated many times in March, and he has watched it many times. Basically, all possible emergencies have been considered. Now, there's really little chance of something going wrong.

Not to mention that this exercise is more or less a performance. The rescuers, pilots, and crew members participating in this exercise are all carefully selected professionals with top professional ability and extremely strong psychological quality.Ning Wei even doubted that the pilots of the exercise would be able to successfully land the plane even if they were faced with a situation where both engines were stalled in the air.

Not to mention that for the sake of safety, the aircraft used for this exercise is still a Gulfstream series of business jets, and there is almost no difficulty. If Ning Wei chooses, he is more inclined to go directly to the big guys of Boeing.

In short, it's not interesting, and he is going to the Centennial Auditorium, and he will have to face a group of curious babies later.

Picking up the phone, glanced at it, and saw more than a dozen missed calls.Ning Wei smiled and ignored it, after all, he didn't know what to say now.So he put the phone in his pocket naturally, and then walked out of the office slowly.

In Beijing, the weather is fine today, and even Comrade Xiao Yuan, who has been waiting outside, looks handsome, perfect!

"Let's go!" Ning Wei beckoned to Xiao Yuan, and took steps proudly.

512 The most important advertising link

Xu Xiaobin was sitting in the driver's seat, looking out the window.

The Gulfstream 750er he was driving was cruising along the route at an altitude of 12369 meters at a speed of 980km/h.In fact, this business jet can climb higher and fly faster, but although he is the captain in name, he has no right to decide these things.

What made him feel uncomfortable was that he could not listen to the familiar command of the ground tower for this flight, but had to listen to the instructions from the cockpit broadcast.

Fortunately, more than 200 hours of flying time have made him very familiar with this aircraft, and his task this time is actually not difficult, it is nothing more than shutting down the two engines in the air according to the instructions.

Parking in the air sounds like a dangerous thing, but actually Xu Xiaobin doesn't have much fear.Not to mention the multiple preparations for this drill.The chosen route has multiple airports for emergency landing. Even if the twin engines are really turned off, even if there is an accident in the exercise, his current speed is enough to glide to a landing location that meets the conditions.

Not to mention that this kind of autonomous shutdown can also start the engine at any time.

The biggest discomfort is actually the need to obey the instructions of the intelligent platform, and according to the exercise plan, the most critical part needs to be completed by the so-called artificial intelligence.

Yes, if there is a choice, Xu Xiaobin actually hopes that his life can be controlled by himself, not by a machine.

But there is no way, he has to obey orders.

Of course he was fully prepared.

In the event of a predictability problem, he had a predetermined method of reassuming control of the aircraft.

"Meow...you can stop the engine."

In the cab, the hateful voice sounded again.

Well, Xu Xiaobin actually doesn't like this sound very much, it's weird, especially that "meow" always makes him feel like he's going to get goosebumps.This is not an opinion on March, in fact, he quite likes the smart software on his mobile phone, such as the latest "co-produced" by Ningfeng Software.

Several of his friends who chat well were met through this software during vacation.So Xu Xiaobin felt that he hated this voice probably simply because he didn't like to listen to other people's bb when he was doing what he was best at.

However, he subconsciously completed the instruction, and then reported: "The dual engines have been turned off."

"Meow... I will take over the automatic driving next."

Xu Xiaobin didn't say anything, but focused on the dashboard.Finally, he started to feel a little nervous. After all, his life is not in his own hands now, so he has to pay attention to the airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter and rudder surface at all times, so that if he really finds a problem, he has time to rescue it. Own.

After all, even if the guy who made the sound of the plane crash won't die, he will definitely die.

Fortunately, except for the engine being turned off, everything is normal.

The biggest advantage of the aircraft now is that even if all the engines in the air stop and fail, the design of the aircraft can still maintain the attitude and fly a long enough distance like a glider to ensure a successful emergency landing.Of course, this requires the pilot to have enough experience to coordinate the air resistance and speed of the aircraft by constantly adjusting the attitude of the aircraft.

Judging from the aircraft's instruments and rudders, the guy who is controlling the aircraft seems to be doing a good job, even better than him...

"Well, why don't I see the air rescue platform in the exercise plan?"

After 3 minutes passed like this, Xu Xiaobin couldn't help asking.Although there is no problem with March's operation from the data, it is inevitable that Xiao Ming will be a little nervous in the hands of others.

"Meow... You have to know that this exercise is for others to see. We need to wait for enough satellites to clearly capture the entire forced landing process. They have worked hard, but it will take some time, so don't worry. If If you are nervous, I can play a soothing music for you to relieve your emotions, do you need it?"

Xu Xiaobin subconsciously shook his head and said, "No need, actually I'm not nervous, it's just that I'm used to being able to communicate with people at this time, can I contact the control tower?"

"Meow...Of course it is possible. When the entire forced landing process is just beginning, in order to increase the authenticity of the exercise, we can increase the link of sending out public information."

"Huh? What message?"

"Meow... You can shout through the radio device after contacting the control tower or a nearby plane, come and save me, the plane is about to fall, honorable Lord March, help me! Then broadcast it through the live broadcast."

Xu Xiaobin's face twitched subconsciously, and after a moment of silence, he said in a muffled voice: "I don't think there is any need to add this link."

"Meow...doesn't it increase? That's a pity. If the pilot is panicked, it will touch the emotions of ordinary viewers who are watching the live broadcast. If you can act real enough, maybe you can also let the The viewers who are watching the live broadcast can’t help but see cold sweat on their backs, so that the effect of the live broadcast is full. After you are rescued, you can also express your reflections to the camera and praise me when the time comes, okay?”

After hearing this, Xu Xiaobin felt the urge to seize control and drive the voice out of the plane.This cat is really too cheap, and I don't know what kind of person taught it, well, it must not be Academician Ning...

He is a cold pilot, how could he do such a thing?

In this way, about seven minutes later, when he was in various moods, the hateful voice sounded from the cockpit again: "Meow... perfect! The signal we just released has already sent enough satellites Pay attention to this, and we will complete this exercise in 5 minutes, and after 126 seconds, Mir will appear in your field of vision."

"Meow... Attention, after 120 seconds, the global live broadcast camera will switch to you. It is recommended that when you see Mir, you should shout loudly in a surprised and crazy tone, Mir, Mir is finally here, I'm saved. Now the question is, are you willing to sacrifice your personal image for the sake of the sense of substitution of the audience who are watching the live broadcast?"

Xu Xiaobin: "?"

Yes, he really couldn't understand, what the hell is a request that a human being can make?

Oh, this thing does not seem to be human...

I'm in a mess, and the camera is about to focus on him in 2 minutes. What kind of expression should I keep?

It's better to be expressionless, it's just a drill, it's like acting...

However, just after 2 minutes, when March reminded him that the camera had been aimed at the cabin, a rapid alarm sounded in the plane, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant.
