I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 994 An answer that changes the world and changes the status quo of human civilization!

When Qin Ke convened outstanding scientists from all over the world to hold a "Ten Thousand Scientists Conference" to jointly study and refine the detailed design plan of the "Planet Shield" project, the world was not entirely peaceful.

Because of the changes in the distance between the Earth and the Sun, the chaotic magnetic field of the planet itself, and the imbalance of internal energy, the world is still in an abnormal state where various natural disasters occur frequently.

As the old Tao Tao Zhexuan said, if you see the photos of disaster scenes reported from all over the world, it is easy for people to feel depressed and desperate, "Ah, it turns out the world is really about to end."

Volcanic eruptions, small tornadoes, hail, cold waves, floods, flash floods, droughts, frosts, acid rain, earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides, sandstorms, severe thunderstorms, and even a super large ball lightning with a diameter of more than 10 meters occurred somewhere in New Zealand, destroying Half of the power station caused another fire, causing serious losses...

Last year, when the northern hemisphere entered the "Little Ice Age" and was almost covered in ice, the southern hemisphere was either experiencing heavy rains and floods, or drought and drought. An extremely rare and serious insect disaster broke out in Africa. The overwhelming photos of locusts made people panic. Diseases are about to break out, especially when locusts cover the sky and eat up all the vegetation and leaves in their path, which almost causes a food crisis in the southern hemisphere, which is already short of food.

The reason why it is said to be close is that a large number of perfect desert sweet potatoes are grown locally. The leaves of this sweet potato have a very unique smell. Except for a few insects such as bees and butterflies, other insects are naturally afraid or disgusted. This allowed the areas where perfect desert reds were planted to luckily escape the locust plague, and also preserved the last trace of food vitality in Africa.

Newspapers in many African countries have reported on the "perfect desert sweet potato", a miraculous crop that is easy to grow, care for, have high yields and is free from pests, calling it "the most sacred gift from the East". Many people are looking forward to that land. Pay homage to the green life area on the edge of the desert.

In general, severe natural disasters in various places have caused a lot of panic and chaos, and the economic losses have been astronomical.

This is why countries around the world fully supported Qin Ke when he proposed the need for industrial robots. In the face of such natural disasters, no country can survive alone. For the common survival issue, the whole world can only put aside their prejudices and unite as one to find new answers to old troubles and find a way to "survive" for themselves and future generations. .

The leader on this road to survival is undoubtedly the 25-year-old Xia State academician Qin Ke, who has already reached the dual divinity of the God of Mathematics and the God of Physics.

If this was only the "consensus" of various meteorological centers in the past, now the collective recognition of more than 12000 top experts at the "World Conference of Ten Thousand Scientists" has made this "consensus" a "consensus" that almost no one in the scientific community questions. ".

This time the European Meteorological Center asked for help. Qin Ke decided to suspend the work at hand and set aside two days with Ning Qingyun and Lao Tao to focus on this direction to see if they could help the European Meteorological Center optimize and improve the earthquake prediction model. to determine whether Europe will experience severe earthquake disasters in five days.

——The "almost" mentioned here is because Academician Qin insists that the "Planet Shield" project will eventually be fully automated and controlled by artificial intelligence. This makes some scientists still doubtful and retain their own opinions. After all, to what level has the current "artificial intelligence" developed? These top experts know very well that it is difficult to safely entrust the future of mankind to artificial intelligence technology that is still not truly mature, even if the person who proposed this plan is Academician Qin, known as the "God of Science".

Without further ado, Qin Ke’s focus is now on hosting the “World Conference of Ten Thousand Scientists” and the “Planet Shield Project”. However, natural disasters and extreme climate disasters monitored by meteorological centers in various countries will still be reported to Qin every day. Ke's fluid mechanics laboratory will enable Qin Ke's team to further extract the disaster-producing environment and disaster-causing factors, optimize the extreme climate disaster prediction model, and continuously improve the coverage and accuracy of disaster prediction.

"It seems that the work for the next two days will be handed over to Edward. Wife, Old Tao, come and help me."

Qin Ke's fluid mechanics laboratory team and the "Global Extreme Climate Big Data Advanced Analysis Team" are still responsible for the analysis and prediction of extreme disasters around the world.

Now that the team has determined that three earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.0 are very likely to occur, Qin Ke still takes it very seriously.

The report Qin Ke was holding in his hand was from the earthquake research team of the European Meteorological Center. This team not only includes scientists from the original European Meteorological Center, but also brings together the best earthquake engineers, earthquake dynamicists, geologists, physicists, and a large number of mathematicians from major universities and research institutions across Europe. It can be said to symbolize the most powerful force in earthquake research in the European scientific community.

However, the situation is obviously different now...

When he experienced the Enshu earthquake in August last year, he originally wanted to take time off to focus on earthquake prediction. However, he later found out the cause of extreme climate phenomena in the Arctic and predicted the arrival of the "Little Ice Age". After careful consideration, he decided It was even more important to deal with the "Little Ice Age", a large-scale extreme climate disaster involving the entire northern hemisphere, so the research on earthquake prediction was put aside and the responsibility was entrusted to the European Meteorological Center.

"What's wrong?" Ning Qingyun noticed that Qin Ke's expression was wrong, so she walked over and asked with concern.

Compared with the past, a single meteorological center studied dozens of natural disasters at the same time. Now, thanks to Qin Ke's "series" effect, the research team of each meteorological center only needs to focus on the research of one or two natural disasters, and can obtain With access to relevant past research materials and monitoring data from around the world, research efficiency has made a qualitative leap, and team efforts can be more fully utilized.

The European Meteorological Center has the strongest research capabilities and is mainly responsible for the research direction of earthquakes. The American Meteorological Center with a long coastline is responsible for tsunami research.

Qin Ke told everyone in the "decision-making team" about the report, and then expressed his decision.

However, due to Qin Ke's limited energy, the team's main focus was on various extreme climate disasters. The research on natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, flash floods, mudslides, and tsunamis was not in-depth. Qin Ke asked meteorological centers from various countries to assemble a team of experts. , respectively, to increase the prediction of different natural disasters.

Yes, although it is incredible, no one could have predicted ten years ago that mankind's hope of resolving the world crisis would actually focus on a young scientist who is only 25 years old. But now, this has basically become the consensus of the scientific community around the world.

The work of the "decision-making team" is temporarily in charge of Edward Witten, with the help of Brian Schmidt, Andre Haim, Kajita Takaaki and others, and the advice of various seniors, basically Able to ensure normal operation, this is also the main operating mode of the "decision-making team" when Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are "on vacation" at the weekend.

When everyone heard that it was such a major emergency, they all understood and supported Qin Ke's decision. In particular, three old men from Europe, Klaus Haselmann, Roger Penrose, and Gerard Moreau, are even more anxious because their family and friends are within the currently predicted earthquake circle.

Edward Witten sighed: "It's such a troubled time. Qin Ke, Xiao Ning, Xiao Tao, you three go quickly, leave this place to us." "Okay, we will do our best, Please rest assured!”

Qin Ke and the others just went ahead. Since the European Meteorological Center had sent over their earthquake prediction model, Qin Ke and the other three people worked separately to analyze and understand the model as quickly as possible.

Qin Ke's flipping speed was the fastest. It only took Qin Ke an hour to read through the extremely complex mathematical models and more than 200 pages of information. He did not disturb Ning Qingyun and Ning Qingyun who were studying the mathematical models. Lao Tao took out his paper and pen and began to think about it.

Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon in which the earth's crust vibrates and generates seismic waves during the rapid release of energy. Dislocations and ruptures caused by the mutual compression and collision of continental plates are the main causes of earthquakes.

It can be said that the key factors of the earthquake prediction model are the momentum, power, energy, friction, and magnetic field of plate movement, as well as the energy "fluid movement" generated when the core fission, as well as the evolution and movement of the internal material of the planet caused by the rotation and revolution of the planet. Qin Ke believes that after the "unification of the three forces of strong, weak, and weak electromagnetic forces", the movements as subtle as the interior of molecular atoms are most likely related to the movement of huge continental plates.

There is no conclusion in the current scientific community on how so many factors influence and interact with each other to cause earthquakes.

The earthquake prediction model provided by the European Meteorological Center's earthquake research team only uses various current mainstream academic theories and weights various influencing factors based on big data analysis.

There is nothing wrong with this mathematical model itself. It can be seen that it is indeed the result of countless efforts of a group of elite scientists. Especially according to Qin Ke’s suggestion, the internal friction coefficient of the planet and the application of the NS equation were added to the mathematical model, making it The accuracy rate should be ahead of the world today.

But after Qin Ke carefully looked at all the information and data analysis results, he always had the intuition that "something is missing and it is not perfect enough."

Even if a mathematical model is fine in itself, if several key parameters are missing at the beginning of its establishment, it will lead to the failure of the data model. Especially natural disaster prediction models like earthquakes are not theoretically perfect. It is completely established after analyzing basic past data, not to mention that this model also uses the "Gutenberg-Richter recurrence relationship" (M=a-bN) regression algorithm, which is to analyze the historical data. The data is fit to form a fitting equation, which is then used to predict new data.

As the god of mathematical modeling, Qin Ke has a deep understanding of this. In the process of mathematical modeling, "regression algorithm" is a commonly used method, but because it is so commonly used, Qin Ke himself rarely uses it because of this. It can easily lead to "empiricism" and "subjective fitting", which in turn affects the accuracy of predictions.

Qin Ke is very confident in his god-level intuition. Since the intuition "is missing something and is not perfect enough", then the earthquake prediction model is probably "missing something and is not perfect enough", and the deduction and prediction results are also likely to be "missing something and not perfect enough". There is a problem.

Qin Ke casually wrote down the formula of earthquake magnitude M=lg(A/T)max+1.66lgΔ+3.5, where A represents the maximum ground motion displacement of the earthquake surface wave, taking the vector sum of the two horizontal sub-directional ground motion displacements, in micrometers (μm); T is the corresponding period, in seconds (s); Δ is the epicentral distance, in degrees (°).

He pondered for a while, and then motioned to Shimmer to analyze the historical earthquake data from the European Meteorological Center.

These data are extremely detailed. In addition to the magnitude (M), time of earthquake onset, latitude (°), longitude (°), and depth (km) of each earthquake, there are also strong vibration records of the main shock, including epicenter distance and maximum peak value. Acceleration, epicentral distance of strong earthquake stations, horizontal and vertical acceleration peaks, velocity peaks, instrumental seismic intensity, ionospheric oblique measurement data, ionospheric observation network, and aftershock data, and even the boundaries of new tectonic blocks and structural landforms Unit division boundaries, Mesozoic and Cenozoic basins, pre-Quaternary geotectonic unit divisions and main structural boundaries, Cenozoic magmatic rock distribution, digital elevation model landform shadow maps, etc.

Qin Ke continued to instruct Weiguang to sort through these huge data of more than 30T in various ways to form various data charts and display them on the display. The display time of each chart is only about 3 seconds. Others would definitely see it. Although his eyes were dazzled, Qin Ke could clearly and completely read and memorize the information on the entire screen.

Time waits for no one, and the three of them have only two days at most. After two days, they must give the European Meteorological Center a reply anyway, because if you want to evacuate a large city with a population of one million, three days is enough. Compression is at its limit.

It has been a long time since Qin Ke concentrated all his energy and studied a problem in an almost immersive way. This made him seem to have returned to the period when he studied the Polignac Hypothesis and Riemann Hypothesis.

Tens of thousands of diagrams are constantly reflected in his retina, forming a large network that is constantly superimposed in his brain...

I don't know how much time passed, but Qin Ke's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a conclusion flashed in his mind: "Yes, the cause of earthquakes is ultimately the transmission of energy waves, and energy waves also 'flow' in rock formations. As long as you find this energy wave, you will grasp the main cause, and the transmission of energy waves under the earth's surface is indirectly reflected through the following monitoring data..."

Qin Ke's originally sparkling inspiration suddenly burst out, and countless ideas and inspirations spewed out, allowing him to easily find the door to the truth.

Without thinking, he immediately picked up the pen and started writing on the draft paper.

His actions attracted the attention of Ning Qingyun and Tao Zhexuan. Tao Zhexuan said unexpectedly: "What is Qin Ke thinking? He feels... so strange now that people dare not approach him."

If he has read martial arts novels, he will understand that this is the atmosphere when a great swordsman is dancing with his sword, which makes people dare not disturb or approach, but is breathtaking.

Ning Qingyun made a gesture of silence and whispered: "Don't disturb Qin Ke, he must have an idea."

She has seen Qin Ke like this many times and knows that she must not disturb Qin Ke's train of thought until he "comes out" from such a state of inspiration and brings an answer or conclusion to the world. An answer or conclusion that changes the entire world and even changes the status quo of human civilization!
