"astronomical?"
"To be precise, there was a problem with the observation satellites. During your vacation, more than twenty observation satellites lost their signal."
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow and opened the document with some confusion. He didn't understand why this was happening, nor did he know why the astronomical community, which he had never been involved with before, would be in contact with him.
However, after reading the entire report for more than ten minutes, he was filled with a turbulent and unsettling feeling.
Yes, just as many researchers have guessed, space debris cannot possibly render all observation satellites ineffective; only a terrifying extraterrestrial civilization could achieve that!
Jiang Cheng immediately had the same suspicion in his mind.
He realized almost instantly how serious this matter was, perhaps the most severe challenge humanity had ever faced in the long course of history.
Why did Mr. Chen want to talk to me about this issue?
Jiang Cheng suppressed his doubts. The plane had already taken off, and as he gazed at the endless clouds outside, his heart still couldn't find complete peace.
······
As soon as Jiang Cheng got out of the car outside the Huaxia Energy Technology Institute, the researchers gathered at the entrance discussing something spotted him immediately. Although he was wearing a mask, they recognized him after only a moment.
The reason is simple: Jiang Cheng is quite young, making him unique among the leaders of the Energy Science and Technology Institute. A nineteen-year-old dean is also a first in the world! And the tall and beautiful Gu Qingwan beside him is also a striking sight.
"Dean Jiang! You're back in Kyoto!" A researcher expressed his excitement directly, making no attempt to hide the admiration in his eyes. Around the world, many people have already taken Jiang Cheng as their role model.
Completing three super projects within a year and developing theories that overturn our understanding of the universe is an achievement that is hard not to admire.
Jiang Cheng smiled politely at their intense gazes, nodded, and walked inside. He was going to Chen Lao's office in the main building of the Science and Technology Institute.
Originally, he thought he had come to discuss engineering issues related to the establishment of two base stations for controlled nuclear fusion, but after reading the document on the plane, Jiang Cheng realized that was not the case, and he became even more curious.
What connection does this satellite loss have with me, a researcher in the fields of biotechnology and energy technology?
Jiang Cheng took the elevator and walked to his office. He was unaware that the most crucial issue in this incident lay with him, so he knocked on the door and went inside.
Dean Chen Shi, who was deep in thought, looked up and his face lit up with joy the moment he saw him.
"You've finally arrived, Xiaocheng. I've been sitting in the office all morning, just waiting for you."
"What exactly is it, Mr. Chen?" He asked directly, needing no tedious small talk with this old man he had known for so long.
Everyone knows Jiang Cheng's personality; they know he dislikes procrastination and prefers things to be done cleanly and efficiently.
Old Chen's face suddenly turned serious. "This task should have been done by Old Zhong, but he was busy with official duties and couldn't get away. I'm conveying the leader's message on his behalf."
As the superior of both Zhong Lao and Chen Lao, Jiang Cheng naturally knew who the leader he was referring to was, and immediately straightened up and listened attentively.
"I believe Qingwan has already shown you that document. This is an unprecedented event. Currently, almost all the observation satellites of major powers have been wiped out. Fortunately, China was among the last to suffer. Except for one small scientific satellite, all the other observation equipment has been withdrawn. The United Nations is preparing to hold a meeting, and you will be the most watched person at this meeting."
"I?"
"Yes, according to the information from the United States, in order to confirm the fundamental nature of this matter, or the extent of its harm to humanity, we must send probes into the Death Dimension to obtain information from within. However, the current level of technology is completely incapable of achieving this. There is only one possibility, which is that your brain-like project, combining the RBN experimental subject with the probes, allows the fourth experimental subject to act as our eyes and spy on whether there are any intruders."
After listening to what Elder Chen said, Jiang Cheng instantly understood the fundamental purpose of this global conference!
It turns out that the RBN experimental materials were what they were looking for. As the American report stated, humans currently cannot control mechanical equipment without remote signal control, but Jiangcheng's brain-like technology has broken through this bottleneck, allowing RBN to replace this step. The only other method is to launch a manned spacecraft into the Death Dimension, but this is clearly impossible.
First, whether they can come back is one question, and then there's another question: who should go?
Whoever proposes this manned spacecraft will be advised to enter the Death Dimension; otherwise, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves? This would undoubtedly be an act of suicide.
Why send humans to alien nests? For dissection and research?
Therefore, many people, even if they have this thought, dare not say it aloud.
The US proposal actually coincides with Jiang Cheng's original intention in researching the brain-like computing project. He once said that besides helping humans better calculate massive amounts of information, the strategic significance of brain-like computing lies in replacing humans in certain situations where humans are incapable. Because they are inanimate, they would not violate ethics and morality, such as entering space to reconnoiter enemy positions.
This is to reduce unnecessary sacrifices.
Moreover, in some fields, a device that surpasses quantum computers is far superior to the human body.
