Chapter 121 Electron Neutrinos
Zhou Cheng took a helicopter to the neutrino telescope base numbered 11.
Although this place has been renovated and various auxiliary facilities, such as elevators, lines, and power supply, have been repaired, an obvious sense of dilapidation can still be seen.
Zhou Cheng ignored the repair work of the supporting facilities - the technical content of these things was not high anyway, and any team could complete the repair. He went straight to the core area.
Hundreds of ordinary staff were already waiting for him.
After a detailed investigation and understanding of the damage to the telescope, and after several days of thinking, the repair work finally began.
The repair of the neutrino telescope is mainly divided into two aspects.
The first is the mechanical repair of the telescope body itself, which includes tidying up the circuits, replacing the photomultiplier tubes, and repairing damage and rust.
The second is the configuration of ultrapure water.
Zhou Cheng didn't have much confidence in his plan in either of these areas. But no matter what, he decided to just go for it and adjust later if he made any mistakes.
Under his command, the workers began to organize the lines, repair the damage and other work in an orderly manner.
The workers had no idea why they were doing this, what the purpose was, and what effect it would achieve.
The only thing they could do was to follow Zhou Cheng's orders. They did whatever Zhou Cheng told them to do. Beyond that, they didn't ask any questions.
All these repair plans are in Zhou Cheng's head, and only in his head.
Except for his head, no matter whose head it is put in, that person's life will be in danger.
No one doubts this because there have been too many such deaths in the past period of time.
But this will lead to a problem, that is, Zhou Cheng will be extremely tired.
Any small decision needs to be made by Zhou Cheng, and any subtle construction plan requires Zhou Cheng's on-site guidance.
Because no one understands these things except him.
At the same time, because there was no one to discuss with and the knowledge he possessed was not comprehensive, Zhou Cheng's plans would often go wrong and need to be adjusted.
Sometimes when encountering unsolvable obstacles, Zhou Cheng can only try to find solutions from the knowledge taught by senior scientists and the knowledge base.
Whenever this happened, the hundreds of workers who were transferred here could only stand there and wait with their eyes wide open.
Only when Zhou Cheng has finished learning and found a solution can he start construction work again.
But even after adjustments, the plan often goes wrong, and then we have to rework it again.
Zhou Cheng was exhausted and tired, but he always insisted on standing on the front line and never fell.
If you fall, no one can replace you.
Gradually, half a year passed, and the restoration of this best-preserved neutrino telescope was still a long way off.
At this moment, the rest of its supporting facilities have been repaired, and most of the relevant personnel have been evacuated, leaving only a small number of debugging and maintenance personnel here.
"Professor Zhou Cheng, how long will it take you to complete the repair?"
Facing the World Government staff's question, Zhou Cheng pondered for a long time before sighing, "At least a year."
"Okay. The First Decision Maker asked me to tell you to take care of yourself."
"Yes, I understand."
Zhou Cheng had just agreed the moment before, and the next moment, he was once again devoted to it.
Besides repairing the telescope itself, Zhou Cheng was constantly worried about another matter. It was precisely because of this matter that he never dared to slack off and always devoted his full attention to his work.
That is, if the neutrino telescope can really locate the neon trifluoride production plant and then completely destroy it, making the plan of the dimensional ascenders completely fail...
Will the dimensional-ascending faction allow themselves to complete the repair work so slowly?
Previously, they assassinated all the old scientists related to this, which in itself proved that they did not want their side to really repair the neutrino telescope.
Now, he has adopted the method of memorizing all the knowledge points in his own head and only using ordinary workers to repair the telescope, making the assassination of the ascending faction meaningless, thus preventing their assassination attempts.
But... apart from assassination, does the Ascending Dimension Faction really have no other way to stop us?
During this period, Wei Ning led the special forces to guard the area around the telescope base to prevent any sabotage.
However, considering the technical level of the dimensional ascending faction, it is really questionable how effective this kind of vigilance can be.
So what are they going to do? What are they planning?
The possible actions of the Ascending Dimension Sect were like a sword hanging over Zhou Cheng's head, forcing him to not slack off at all.
Maybe if I work a little faster, I can finish repairing the telescope before the Upward Dimension Faction completes their plan.
Zhou Cheng worked day and night, devoting all his energy to the project.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, another year had passed, and the repair work on the telescope was still not completed. It was not until another six months later that the telescope began its first power-on test.
At this moment, all the people who had worked in this underground base for two years gathered in front of the huge tank of the telescope, full of tension and anticipation.
Whether the two years of hard work will bear fruit depends on today.
Unlike the others, Zhou Cheng was not very excited at the moment, but instead full of complicated thoughts.
"For two years, the Ascending Sect has not taken any action to stop us. Why is that?
Is it because they've already decided we can't repair the telescope?"
Amidst the complexity, the telescope was turned on and all auxiliary modules were ready.
People began to wait silently.
From now on, if a neutrino collides with an ultrapure water particle and triggers Cherenkov radiation, people will be able to obtain information about it through this device.
Of course, that is on the premise that the telescope is functioning normally.
In this silent waiting, several hours passed, and suddenly a staff member shouted.
"Professor Zhou, we seem to have detected a signal!"
Um?
Zhou Cheng's heart tightened and he immediately came to the screen.
The staff member excitedly pointed at the data on the screen: "Look, the neutrino in this collision has an energy level of approximately 0.3 MeV, is an electron neutrino, and is heading towards the sun. This is clearly a neutrino from a proton-proton chain reaction!"
He looked at Zhou Cheng excitedly: "We really succeeded in repairing this neutrino telescope!"
In an instant, the hall was filled with cheers.
There was a hint of confusion in Zhou Cheng's expression.
Really...was the repair successful?
Why didn’t the ascenders stop us?
