Chapter 90 Iron Hand Pursuit

at the same time.

Bai Zhen and Wang Ning were sitting in the living room looking through documents. The paper materials Zhao Bowen brought back could fill one suitcase, and the electronic files could fill another suitcase. This afternoon, when Zhao Bowen stacked up the colorful folders one by one until they were taller than everyone present, Bai and Wang thought that he had just robbed the printing shop downstairs. But Zhao Bowen turned around and took out solid-state drives from the suitcase, and stacked them up one by one to be taller than everyone else - it seems that he also robbed Bai Nao Hui. Zhao patted the folders and hard drives on the coffee table and said to everyone that this was all the work we had done in the past half month.

It was hard for both of them to imagine that Zhao Bowen had completed such a huge amount of work in just half a month. They watched in amazement.

"Nanjing's high-altitude ionosphere F2 layer... balloon-suspended radar reflection experiment..."

"Wide-area monitoring records of electromagnetic signals in all frequency bands in East China from September to December."

"Monitoring records of sunspot activity and changes in the Earth's magnetic field from September to December."

"Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Map... What is this? CERN? European Organization for Nuclear Research?" Bai Zhen frowned. The paper in his hand was all in English, and he only understood the word Nuclear. "Nuclear weapons? My goodness, you guys got nuclear weapons?"

"CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research." Fanjiangshu, who was sitting opposite Bai Zhen, explained, "It does high-energy physics research, not nuclear weapons."

"Have you never seen high-energy particle accelerators and large hadron colliders in the news?" Wang Ning showed his erudition and at the same time despised Lao Bai's ignorance.

"Europe? Have you found Europe?" Bai Zhen asked.

"To be on the safe side, I asked CERN for a record of past experiments." Fanjiangshu replied.

Bai Zhen put down the materials in his hand and said, "Great! You guys have done a lot in the past half month."

When the five people heard this, they all felt a little awkward, as if they were uncomfortable all over. They all turned their heads to glance at Bai Yang's room at the same time, and then Jiang Shu lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it because of the Iron Hand chasing us?"

"Iron Hands Chasing Life?"

Bai Zhen and Wang Ning were stunned.

"Old Zhao?"

Fanjiangshu nodded: "Teacher Zhao."

"Why is it called Iron Hand?" Bai Zhen asked.

"Because he always asks people to applaud." Che Di Shu looked helpless, "If you are not an iron hand, you can't handle it."

"Why is it called chasing life?"

"You'll see him push you to work when you have a chance." Sandshrew, who was sitting on the same sofa, was still frightened. He hesitated for a moment, "The donkeys in the production team don't work like this."

Bai Zhen opened another thick black folder and saw a striking red stamp on the first page - "Top Secret".

With a snap, he closed the folder again.

"This... can we watch it for free?" Bai Zhen raised his head and asked them.

"Feel free to look at it." Che Dishu nodded, "You can look at all the documents brought here. They are what you need to know."

Bai Zhen took a deep breath and solemnly opened the folder. Since he took the college entrance examination at the age of 20, Bai Zhen had never come into contact with a document with such a high level of confidentiality.

He felt like an important person at this moment.

In the folder was a project plan, a thick book with roughly a hundred pages.

"China Construction Eighth Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd."

“Purple Mountain Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences.”

“Rock Mechanics Laboratory, Rock Physics and Reservoir Geomechanics Group, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.”

"That's a long name," Bai Zhen muttered. "Nanjing Deep Geomechanics Project... Geomechanics? That's civil engineering, right?"

Wang Ning also came over to take a look out of curiosity.

The two of them flipped through the pages one by one, and after a cursory glance, they roughly understood what the plan was about. It was a scientific project to study the impact of human engineering on the deep underground rock and soil structure of Nanjing. It was jointly planned by the Purple Mountain Observatory and the Institute of Geology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and constructed by China Construction Eighth Bureau. According to the plan in this engineering project book, they would dig a deep pit underground in Nanjing and install a small unmanned laboratory to measure the stress conditions of the rock strata.

But Bai Zhen didn't understand why he had to see this thing. He wasn't engaged in geology or civil engineering. How did a scientific research project on geology and geotechnical mechanics get into the Amateur Radio Emergency Communication Command Center of Reverse the Future and Save the World?

"This is another time capsule." Che Dishu said, "Super time capsule."

Bai Zhen and Wang Ning were surprised.

"In the past half month, we have been researching ways to slow down time delivery. We have previously proven that a sufficiently long distance can escape the Great Filter, but sending a time capsule into space is too limited, too expensive, and takes a long time to prepare. We are also limited by the rocket's carrying capacity, so we are actively researching other effective methods." Che Di Shu continued, "Chief Wang, one of your previous experiments gave us inspiration. You used cement to cast the time capsule into the wall."

"To be precise, it's the gate of the community."

Wang Ning curled his lips. The time capsule was still at the gate of Meihua Villa community.

"This proves that in addition to sending the time capsule into space, giving it strong enough protection and fixation can also allow it to successfully survive until the doomsday era," said Fanjiangshu.

"Is this also a means to weaken the purpose?" Bai Zhen asked.

"This can weaken the purpose." Flip River Rat nodded, "We bury it deep underground and seal it at the same time. There is no doubt that in essence it is no different from being sent to the orbit of Mars."

"So what are you going to send this time?" Bai Zhen asked.

"It's the black box." Zhao Bowen's voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhao Bowen leaning against the door frame of Bai Yang's room with his hands folded.

"What we are going to send over this time is a black box." Zhao Bowen walked over. "Do you know what a black box is? Every civil airliner carries a black box. It is a recorder with a solid shell that loops and records the conversations inside the plane. In the event of a plane crash, the black box is the most direct and clear evidence, allowing people to analyze the cause of the disaster. What we are going to send to the future is such a black box, which can tell us what happened in the future."

"A tape recorder?" Wang Ning asked.

"A robot," Zhao Bowen said, "an AI system that will experience everything in the next 20 years on our behalf and then tell us what the end of the world will look like."

"It's hard to imagine." Bai Zhen said.

In his mind, he imagined a small robot like WALL-E. When disaster strikes, this small robot will find a place to hide and stay hidden for twenty years until BG4MSR finds it.

"It's not as complicated as you think. Our era is a world with highly developed information technology. Every day, huge amounts of data are transmitted between everyone's mobile phones. No matter what happens, the news will be released on the Internet in the first place. Therefore, the black box does not need to actively search for information. It only needs to listen, hiding deep underground to listen to the movements of the world. It has a set of keyword capture and filtering systems. Once suspicious information is found, it will be captured and stored." Zhao Bowen said, "This technology is actually very mature. Government departments use this method to monitor public opinion. We can just copy it. Tencent has a ready-made one."

"Then you have to ensure its safety," Bai Zhen said, "make sure it can survive these twenty years and can still work normally after the apocalypse."

"This is the most difficult thing to do. We can't launch it into space, so the safest place is underground." Zhao Bowen nodded, "Dig a deep pit and bury it."

"This thing should be much bigger than a time capsule, right?" Bai Zhen asked. "From your description, it needs at least a server room, as well as data transmission lines, power supply system, and cooling system... You want to dig a deep pit to bury such a huge set of things? Then you have to dig a very deep and large hole, and then hoist everything down. The amount of work is terrifying."

“We borrow what’s available.”

"off the shelf?"

Zhao Bowen pointed to the ground below him and said, "Under our feet, in the underground of this city, there is a huge tunnel system that extends in all directions."

Bai Zhen and Wang Ning suddenly understood.

Yes, there is a well-developed tunnel system underground in this city, and thousands of people move underground every day.

subway.

"We have comprehensively investigated the subway system in Nanjing, taking various factors into consideration, and finally selected two locations." Zhao Bowen spread out the map on the coffee table, took out a marker and drew two circles, one at Gulou Park and the other at Mochou Lake. "Line 4 is under the office building of the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Mochou Lake Station of Line 3 is next to Mochou Lake."

Like most underground laboratories in the world, Zhao Bowen used the method of digging branches horizontally in the tunnel. Jinping Mountain in Sichuan has the world's deepest dark matter laboratory. It is a space branching out from a tunnel that runs across the mountain. The top is covered with 2,600 meters thick mountain rock. Nanjing Metro Line 3 has the deepest subway station in Jiangsu Province, Mochou Lake Station. Zhao Bowen dug a small tunnel horizontally from the tunnel of Line 3, and there is 30 meters thick soil and rock layers above his head.

"We dug a secret room under Zitai and another one next to Mochou Lake Station. The two serve as backup for each other. All equipment can be transported from the subway station and placed in the secret room. After everything is arranged properly, the entrance to the subway tunnel will be sealed." Zhao Bowen said, "In this way, we only need to dig a very small passage from the ground, which can accommodate one person, and the workload can be reduced by at least 80%."

“What about the power system?”

"Nuclear battery." Zhao Bowen thought without hesitation, "If multiple nuclear batteries are connected in series to generate electricity, the service life can exceed 25 years."

"What about cooling?"

"There is a lake next to Mochou Lake Station, and we designed a water-cooling channel." Zhao Bowen replied, "The secret room under Zitai is shallower and can be ventilated."

This guy has taken all the considerations into consideration.

How much did they accomplish in just half a month?

"We have four groups working on the project simultaneously, and Teacher Zhao is the second in charge of the entire project," said Fanjiangshu.

"I said I would bring a huge army."

Zhao Bowen looked down upon the audience: Am I awesome?

Bai Zhen: Awesome!

Wang Ning: Awesome!

Zhao Bowen: Applause!

The audience applauded warmly.

"The entire project is described as a geotechnical science project, but its actual purpose is kept absolutely confidential. The purpose of digging the hole is to install a rock stress detection device, but in fact it is to bury a data recording system." Zhao Bowen continued, "Once the system is sealed, only one person in the world can open it."

"BG4MSR." Bai Zhen said.

This is indeed a super time capsule. Countless manpower and resources were mobilized to open up a space underground in Nanjing that only that girl can open.

"Among all of us, you, Lao Zhao, are the best to her," Wang Ning said. "You have given her many gifts, from reaching for the moon in the sky to catching turtles in the oceans."

"When will this project start?" Bai Zhen asked.

"Start construction?" Zhao Bowen sneered and said in a disinterested tone, "It's already completed."
