Chapter 3 If there is no accident, there will be an accident
After half an hour, the meeting ended.
Hao Xiaoxi and Zhou Zhezhi returned to the independent office of the Huaxia representative. She asked with a worried look, "Teacher Zhou, why is the earth spinning in the opposite direction?"
Although she swore on stage that the experiment was a great success, she actually had no idea.
She didn't know whether the experiment was successful or not.
Although the engine ignition caused the earth to move larger than expected, this was completely inconsistent with scientific laws because the earth was not pushed by the engine, but rotated on its own.
There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, and that is that at the moment the engine ignites, a force several times that of the planetary engine acts on the earth in the opposite direction.
But where does this power come from?
Hao Xiaoxi's mind was filled with questions. She thought of the space station crash seven months ago, when a similar situation occurred.
Zhou Zhe kept silently looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Why does the earth rotate backwards?
He doesn't know either.
Although he has extraordinary political wisdom and extraordinary foresight, neither of them can help him see through the fog in front of him.
However, he has a feeling...
An invisible ghost seems to be hanging over the earth.
"Let the scientists solve this problem." Zhou Zhezhi said slowly, "No matter what, the mountain-moving plan will continue to advance."
The sun's helium flashes before our eyes.
Humanity must find a way out for itself.
Today, when the Digital Life Project and the Ark Project have gone bankrupt, mankind is left with only the Mountain-Moving Project. No matter what happens, we must continue on this path firmly and never look back.
If we look back, civilization will be destroyed, but if we continue to move forward, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Jingle bell bell bell…
The office landline phone rang.
Hao Xiaoxi stepped forward to check, and she whispered: "It's a call from the Academy of Sciences."
Zhou Zhe turned around and sat down behind his desk.
He picked up the phone and said, "I'm Zhou Zhezhi."
"Director Zhou, the same problem occurred in this ignition experiment as when the space station fell."
On the other end of the line is the scientist overseeing the ignition test.
He said straight to the point.
"An unexplainable force appeared out of thin air, counteracting the thrust of the engine and causing the earth to rotate upside down for twelve pico-arc seconds!"
"The cause has not yet been determined."
"and......"
The scientist paused: "We don't know when we can find out the cause, maybe fifty years later, because we have no clue now."
Fifty years later...
When any project is titled "fifty years from now", the subtext is that it is completely impossible now, but I can give you a piece of cake to comfort you and wait until fifty years from now.
Zhou Zhe was silent for two seconds and then asked: "Will this affect the mountain-moving plan?"
"There will definitely be an impact, but it's not necessarily a good impact or a bad impact."
The scientist considered it and said: "This force has only appeared twice in total. If it can appear a few more times, we may be able to master its laws and make it a boost for the mountain-moving plan."
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
At the end of the research, maybe it’s good news?
Zhou Zhe asked directly: "What should we do?"
"We hope to conduct several more ignition experiments next month to see if that force will appear again." The scientist replied calmly, "If it appears, we will observe its pattern. If it does not appear, we will proceed with the mountain-moving plan as usual."
It's best if it doesn't happen. If it does, study it.
Zhou Zhezhi said: "Report your plan and I will give them full support."
Ensuring that the mountain-moving plan goes smoothly is the most important thing now.
Everything must serve the mountain-moving plan.
Hearing that Zhou Zhezhi readily approved the request of the Academy of Sciences, the scientist said with excitement: "Although we currently lack understanding of this power, if we can study it thoroughly, human scientific level may be able to achieve a leap.
!”
Science is always sublimated by exploring the unknown.
After a brief period of confusion and fear, scientists became extremely interested in this ghostly power.
This is a force that can dominate the planet!
Whoever can understand this power may become the Newton and Einstein of the new era.
This is a great honor!
Science has not had such a big opportunity in decades.
Zhou Zhe thought for two seconds and then asked: "Do you have a direction for your thinking now?"
"Not yet." The scientist replied, "We need to communicate with scientific teams from other countries first, and then determine the research direction."
Zhou Zhe nodded and said, "Okay, let's go ahead and do it."
...
With the help of Zhou Zhezhi, the second ignition experiment was quickly completed. The ghost-like power enveloped the earth again, and the scientists who had been prepared rigorously recorded all the data related to it.
Then came the third ignition test, the fourth ignition test, the fifth ignition test...
As the number of experiments increased, scientists discovered that this ghost-like force was extremely random. It was not only difficult to predict the size of each appearance, but also the direction of each appearance.
Most of the time, this ghostly force goes against the thrust of the engine, but sometimes, this force goes in the same direction as the thrust of the engine.
Scientists have never been able to find the source of this force, nor the factors that may affect it.
Israeli scientists proposed the space glue hypothesis.
They speculate that space itself has a huge mass and has a strong attraction for ultra-high-mass celestial units like the Earth, so when the Earth rotates, space will pull on the Earth.
But this conjecture was quickly rejected.
Because this ghost-like force also appeared when the space station fell, and the space station only has a mass of 2.1 million tons. According to the theory of Israeli scientists, 2.1 million tons is not enough to cause the space glue effect.
Other conjectures, such as the earth's self-balancing, dark matter vortex, dark energy tide, etc., all remain at the level of conjecture without any theory or data support.
The world's top scientists gathered together, but they struggled for a whole year and found nothing.
But the good news is that this ghostly power doesn't last long.
It always appears at the beginning of the engine ignition, briefly pushes the earth for a moment, and then disappears as silently as it appeared.
So it had no impact on the mountain-moving plan.
Time passed little by little, and the earth slowly stopped rotating as planned.
Fourteen years passed in a flash.
Although scientists are still interested in the ghostly force, their enthusiasm has gradually waned because they can't find anything to study.
If you don’t understand it through research, then you don’t understand it.
Anyway, it did not hinder the mountain-moving plan, as long as there are no accidents in the future.
