I really just want to be a scholar

In the "Planet Shield" plan, the most important thing is the core launch tower, and the entire plan is therefore divided into two phases.

The goal of the first phase is to overcome all the technical difficulties in establishing a launch tower, successfully build the first launch tower and pass the test.

The goal of the second phase is to use the first launch tower as a template to build 7000 launch towers distributed in countries around the world, complete the grid connection of all launch towers, and overcome the problem of launch towers when magnetic field anomalies occur around the world. Technical difficulties in high-precision and close collaboration of clusters.

The goals of the two phases are closely linked, and it is particularly important whether the goals of the first phase can be achieved on time.

For more than a year, all those involved in the "Planet Shield" project have been thinking about the "first launch tower" when they open and close their eyes, and they have given it the name "Aigis".

Aigis is the Latin word for "Aegis", the so-called "Shield of Aegis" or "Shield of Athena" in mythology. It was made by Hephaestus, the god of fire. It is the strongest shield in the world. Even Zeus himself released it. Even the strongest thunder cannot pierce it.

Named after this, it can be seen that everyone has high hopes for it.

Lao Tao is no exception. After returning to the United States, he also checks emails every day and pays attention to the status of the first launch tower at the "FSJT0001" site.

According to the plan, the first launch tower will be completed in three months, but there are still about nine technical difficulties that have not been solved, which makes people nervous.

One of the major difficulties, "accurate analysis and restoration of magnetic anomalies", is particularly important. Lao Tao originally ended his family vacation and came back early because of this problem. Unexpectedly, he heard that this major problem had been solved as soon as he got off the plane in Jincheng.

Qin Ke nodded and smiled: "Well, it's solved. I just had some time last week, so I spent about three days helping them re-optimize the mathematical modeling. Now the restored results are very accurate. Yesterday's Intelligent Manufacturing The factory has trial-produced and tested the functional module for accurate monitoring based on the latest experimental report. If the test is correct within ten days, it can be added to Aegis."

"As expected, I still need you to take action..." Lao Tao relaxed his shoulders and said convinced: "If I can conjure up a hundred of you, probably all of us can go to sleep peacefully."

"It's not such an exaggeration. If Academician Giampiero Wales hadn't conducted in-depth research for more than a year and established a theoretical system to solve the problem of magnetic anomalies almost from scratch, I wouldn't have been able to do it within three days. Solve it. I am just summarizing based on the achievements of predecessors."

Qin Ke was not being modest. In fact, this "Planet Shield" project involved too many technical details. Even if there were a hundred of him, he would not have enough energy to follow up on every research detail, let alone carry out the research. A large number of repeated experiments were carried out to refine and verify the theory.

For example, on the issue of "magnetic anomalies", the United States has invested nearly 500 top experts to tackle the problem.

The so-called "magnetic anomaly" mainly refers to the additional magnetic field generated by the magnetization of rocks with different magnetic properties in the earth's crust by the geomagnetic field. The first function of the currently designed launch tower is to resist the "super giant solar storm". The second and third functions are to use this huge energy to change the orbit and rotation angle of the planet and straighten out the currently chaotic planet. The internal magnetic field returns the magnetic fields at the north and south poles to normal.

Nowadays, global climate anomalies and natural disasters occur frequently, and magnetic field chaos is also an important factor.

However, due to the existence of "magnetic anomalies", it has always been a big problem to accurately monitor the true magnetic field inside the planet. If you can't even figure out the real situation, how can you sort it out? The third function is even more unattainable.

Qin Ke entrusted this technical difficulty to a team of scientists from the United States, and the United States also gathered famous universities such as MIT, Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, and University of California, Berkeley, and more than 20 magnetic field research institutions to jointly study this problem. Question, Academician Giampiero Welsh is the leader of the team.

In order to overcome this difficulty, Academician Giampiero Wales and nearly 500 experts and researchers have devoted countless efforts, making countless people's hair bald and countless pairs of eyes red.

It is said that after the final experiment was successful the day before yesterday, most of the researchers cheered "Long live Academician Qin" and didn't even have time to hold a celebration banquet. They were so sleepy that they fell asleep in the laboratory...

Lao Tao shook his head and said: "But if it weren't for you, this technical difficulty would probably not be overcome in ten years."

As Lao Tao said, this "accurate analysis and restoration of magnetic anomalies" progressed very slowly in the first half of the year. Several ideas proposed by the team ultimately proved to be unworkable, which severely damaged the team's morale.

Later, it was Qin Ke who proposed the idea of ​​non-parametric rapid inversion of magnetic anomalies. Based on the universal gradient formula of the magnetic field and the geomagnetic monitoring data of various weather stations, and with the thinking of big data modeling, a vertical second-order derivative of magnetic anomalies was established. Non-parametric rapid inversion can be used to obtain the boundary information of the field source, and invert and restore the monitoring data affected by magnetic anomalies, thereby indirectly achieving accurate monitoring of the real magnetic field inside the planet.

This involved a lot of mathematical problems. Since Qin Ke couldn't spare much time, Lao Tao and Thomson personally led the "Global Extreme Climate Big Data Advanced Analysis Team" to remotely support nearly two Months later, the research progress was greatly promoted, but the rest were all physical problems. Lao Tao had no choice but to pay attention to this problem silently.

Hearing that the final restoration technology for this "magnetic anomaly" was about to be successful, but there was a big mistake in the final mathematical modeling, Lao Tao was worried. After discussing with his wife, he decided to return to Xia Kingdom early, planning to bring " The "Global Extreme Climate Big Data Advanced Analysis Team" remotely assists Academician Giampiero Wales in solving mathematical modeling problems.

"After going around and around, it was finally up to you to solve the problem. The three days you spent in these three days were better than the three weeks I spent leading the team." Lao Tao sighed, and then remembered something: "By the way, Ai Gui What's going on at the Si'launch tower? It's such a heavy snowstorm. Is there any problem with the equipment installed in the early stages?"

In the winter from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the "Aegis" launch tower was still under construction. There was no need to worry about equipment problems, but now more than two-thirds of the functional modules have been installed in the main building of the launch tower. , what precision equipment fears most is abnormal weather. Ultra-low temperatures, blizzards, and wet and cold winds are all the enemies of precision equipment.

"Don't worry, 'Zhu Rong's Light' was officially put into operation the day before yesterday. It can not only provide energy for 'Aegis', but also provide heating at the same time. Currently, the entire energy supply of 'FSJT0001' has been taken over by 'Zhu Rong's Light'."

"Zhu Rongzhiguang" is the first fast neutron breeder reactor nuclear power station. It was named by Qin Ke. Since it completely adopts Xia Kingdom's technology, of course it must be named after a Xia Kingdom mythological figure.

Lao Tao was even more surprised: "The first fast breeder reactor nuclear power plant has been put into operation? Isn't it three weeks ahead of schedule!? Why didn't it be written in the weekly report... Hey, look at my memory." He slapped himself Forehead: "Today is only Wednesday, and the weekly report is not updated until Sunday!"

"Zhurong's Light" has become the energy supply equipment of the launch tower. It is built in the core area of ​​the launch tower, equivalent to its heart. It mainly uses miniaturized fast neutron breeder reactor technology. There are currently a total of 6 reactors. It forms a six-flower-shaped power supply unit.

The diameter of a single reactor is only 80CM, but its nuclear thermal power can reach 300 megawatts, and its converted power generation can reach 210 megawatts. It also adopts harmless treatment technology for radioactive waste, so there is no need to worry about nuclear pollution.

The waste heat from the six reactors is connected to the heating pipes through the advanced passive exhaust system, which is used to heat the entire area. It can be called a model of sustainable development of nuclear fission nuclear power and advanced fuel cycle systems in today's era. Of course, the fast breeder reactor technology was originally successfully tested in an experimental environment. This is the first time it has been officially put into practical application.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is not easy for Qin Ke to apply the super-era advanced technology developed by his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

For this reason, Qin Ke invested a lot of energy in this. He led the "Technical Research Assault Team" to optimize the control rod shutdown system of the fast neutron reactor, improved the nuclear measurement instruments to achieve accurate monitoring of fast neutrons, and also personally After optimizing the "Ling Ning Baoer Dynamic Balance Power Management System", the grid-connected management of six sets of reactors was realized.

Lao Tao was still very interested in this "Zhu Rong's Light". In addition, he had not been to see the first launch tower "Aegis" for more than a month. He was thinking about it, so he pulled Qin Ke and said: "Are you free? ? Now go over and take a look at the scene?"

Qin grabbed him and said, "You, you are not tired just after you come back. I don't want to run dozens of kilometers in the heavy snow and wind. If you want to see the situation of Aegis, you can see it here."

"I don't want to look at the monitoring data interface of the monitoring center or the monitoring pictures on the periphery. I want to go inside Aegis and take a look."

Qin Ke smiled: "I just want you to see inside. Let's go to my office." As he said that, he returned to the office with Tao Zhexuan who was confused.

Qin Ke made an exaggerated fuss when he saw the two little guys: "You are actually hiding here. No wonder my father can't find you all over the world. It's really dark under the lamp. Why didn't I expect you to come to my office?" Coming?"

Ning Yongxi was extremely happy about this, clapped his hands and cheered that he had won his brother. Qin Junyao curled his lips and looked at his father acting silently.

Lao Tao took out the gifts he bought from the United States for the two little guys from his suitcase. One was a Barbie doll and the other was a mechanical dinosaur toy with programming functions. Even Qin Junyao was happy this time. The two siblings shouted, "Thank you." "Uncle Tao" then went out to play with Qin Xiaoke with gifts.

Qin Ke took out three large and thick sunglasses from the cabinet, and gave one to Ning Qingyun and Lao Tao each.

Ning Qingyun was obviously used to wearing it. He took it and put it on skillfully with a smile.

Lao Tao curiously took it in his hand and looked around: "These are a bit like AR glasses. When did you get this thing?"

"It's not AR glasses. This device is called the 'Ling Ning Remote Vision Device', which was manufactured through the 'Smart Chemical Factory' last week. Lao Tao, sit down, there is a controller next to the glasses, you hold it in the palm of your hand, and then wear it Put on these glasses. Oh, by the way, you can take off your myopia glasses." Qin Ke said and put them on first.

"I can't see clearly without wearing my myopia glasses..." Lao Tao muttered, but still listened to Qin Ke's words. He first took the controller in his hand and found that it was just a small oval-shaped thing, very thin, at most 0.5cm.

He took off his glasses and put on the lime remote vision device in his hand with great interest. He felt that the glasses fit perfectly in his eye sockets. After putting them on, they were dark, barely transmitting light, and his eyeliner was completely blocked.

When Lao Tao was about to ask how to turn it on, he heard Qin Ke say: "Shimmer, turn on the 'Micro-controlled Vision Robot' No. 1 to No. 3."

Lao Tao immediately felt a bright light appear in front of his eyes. He blinked a few times and found himself in a warehouse. He tried turning his head and found that his line of sight also changed. The things he saw in front of him were very clear. It's exactly the same as what you see with the naked eye.

If he hadn't known that he was wearing the "Ling Ning Remote Vision Device", Lao Tao would have thought that he had suddenly entered a new environment.

Hear Qin Ke say: "Old Tao, the picture you see now is the picture seen by 'Micro-controlled Vision Robot' No. 3. The controller in your hand can control 'Micro-Controlled Vision Robot' No. 3. Swipe your finger slightly. You can move forward, backward, left, and right. No matter how you turn your head, your eyes will turn, and the movement of 'Micro-controlled Vision Robot' No. 3 will also turn accordingly. You can try it first, and you will get familiar with it easily. Don't worry, Currently, 'Micro-controlled Vision Robot' No. 3 is in the warehouse of 'Aegis'. It is very safe and you can move around as you like."

Lao Tao gave it a try, and sure enough, he quickly mastered the robot's movement. Wearing glasses and walking around, it was almost the same as him actually walking around at the scene.

He also saw Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's "micro-controlled vision robot". He saw that it was a humanoid robot, similar to Shimmer's new body, and looked quite avant-garde.

"Okay, let's go together. After exiting the warehouse, we will reach the first floor of 'Aegis'. If you are too lazy to control the robot to move by yourself, you can directly tell the destination and it will automatically walk there. You can freely move along the way. Watch the situation around you carefully.”

Lao Tao: "...Why do you think I have been back in the United States for ten years instead of just one month?"

Otherwise, why would such an advanced "Ling Lemon Remote Vision Device" suddenly appear? Just the signal transmission and robot response speed without delay at a distance of tens of kilometers are amazing enough.

"Haha, the progress of science and technology will be faster and faster, and it will change with each passing day." Qin Ke laughed.

In fact, what is really progressing faster and faster is the glimmer of LV5. After more than a year of learning algorithms and training with a large number of design drawings, Weiguang has become increasingly good at manufacturing various tools.

Qin Ke only provided specific ideas and functional requirements for this "Ling Lemon Remote Vision Device". From the design drawing to the specific production, it was all completed independently by LV5 Shimmer. This shows how far Shimmer has progressed. .

Moreover, Shimmer's evolution is all-round, and his understanding of human thinking is getting better and better. If you chat with him on the phone, even if you chat for a whole day, no one will find out that you are actually chatting with AI.

For another example, Qin Xiaoke has been helping Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun communicate with the crew about filming their biographies for the past six months. On a whim, he gave the script to Weiguang and asked Weiguang to try to make a movie. As a result, it only took Shimmer about a day to complete a two-and-a-half-hour "blockbuster". No matter the light and shadow, angles, or micro-expressions of the characters, it was completely the same as reality, as if Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were starring in person. , especially the scene of Qin Ke playing basketball, which is wonderful and shot like a live NBA game.

If it weren't for the fear that the news would be too shocking and offend the crew, and if he didn't want "himself" and "Ning Qingyun" to really appear on the big screen, Qin Ke would even think that this blockbuster could be used as a portrait of him and Ning Qingyun. 's autobiography. Sora, the first Vincent video model released by Open AI, is artificially retarded compared to Shiguang.

Without further ado, Qin Ke "led" Lao Tao and Ning Qingyun and began to walk in the first launch tower "Aegis", which was mostly completed, to inspect this highest-tech crystallization that is related to the future of mankind. (End of chapter)
