In the Pacific Ocean, an environmental working group affiliated with the United States is tracking and analyzing the Eighth Continent, the world’s famous garbage continent. Soon, all aspects of data are gathered on the work boat.
Project leader Vera frowned when she looked at the data. She turned her head and looked at the person operating the computer and said, "Trafigura, you are sure that there is no problem with your GPS system."
"Head, my GPS system is the latest data that was upgraded just half a month ago. At the same time, my computer is the latest model purchased two months ago. There is no problem with the data," Tok said with a smile on his face.
Vera shook her head. "We people on the west coast are in trouble. The ecological environment on the west coast has deteriorated enough. Now it seems that in a few years, the west coast of the United States will be surrounded by garbage."
"At that time, it will be difficult not to breed viruses, and a new round of great migration will begin."
"Head, why are you so pessimistic, what happened?" Tok asked.
"The garbage continent drifted 14 meters to our coast last year. According to the analysis of seabed currents, this speed is accelerating. It is expected that the drift speed will reach a record 20 meters this year," Vera said.
"God, how could this be?" Tok began to calm down.
The other staff members were also very shocked. They immediately surrounded them. They were all professionals who could understand various data. After reading the information, everyone's faces were gloomy.
"Vera, this matter must be reported and made public," a staff member said from the side.
"NO, this matter can be reported, but it cannot be made public. Making it public will cause panic among residents along the coast," another staff member said directly.
After that, everyone divided into two factions and started to quarrel. Each had its own reasons. Many people were worried that the government would suppress the matter and not release it. Therefore, they strongly supported the disclosure of this data.
"Enough" Vera yelled.
Everything was stunned, and turned to look at Vera, not to mention that Vera is a woman, but Vera is very prestigious.
"Gentlemen, this matter is reported, and it will not be made public. Don't speak for now, just listen to me," Vera said as she looked at the crowd, comforting those who were about to stop her from speaking.
"Gentlemen, even if the garbage continent keeps advancing at a speed of 30 meters per year, it will take many years to reach the United States. Don’t forget, it’s more than one million meters away from the United States."
"What's more, the garbage continent drifted in the direction of Asia in the past few years. Now it has changed its direction. Will it change its direction again in the next few years"
"We cannot predict the submarine ocean current, nor can we grasp its laws. If this news is announced now, it will cause panic for residents along the coast and cause them to lose a lot."
"If any of you can guarantee that the garbage continent will not change its direction, and 100% will drift to the coast of the United States, I can unify your public requirements" Vera finished speaking and looked at everyone.
Everyone is silent. Vera is right. It does take many years for the garbage continent to drift to the United States. It is obviously inappropriate to issue an early warning now.
Vera saw everyone's expressions and smiled, "Well, everyone is working normally, maybe there will be a decade or eight, and the garbage continent has changed its direction again."
Everyone started to get busy, but one person took a deep look at Vera, then turned and went out. Vera greeted a lot of people and left the studio to get some air outside.
Walking out of the cabin, I saw a person sitting on the deck railing and looking at the garbage continent in the distance. Vera walked directly over to "Lille, what are you looking at".
Lille didn't look back and said directly "Vera, why don't you tell them the truth".
"Why should I say, if I tell them that the trash continent drifts at a speed of more than 60 meters, and the speed is still accelerating, how would they react?"
"The data just over 20 meters has made many people nervous. If they tell the real data, they will go crazy"
"Furthermore, even if it is to maintain a speed of 100 meters per year, it will take many years to get to the United States. Whether to say or not, it has no practical meaning," Vera said while leaning on the railing and looking at the sea.
"The reason for extreme weather is that extreme weather accelerates the speed of the garbage continent. It is not impossible to drift hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters in more than a year."
"You know very well that the global extreme weather phenomenon is getting worse every year," Lille said, turning his head to look at Vera.
"So what? Even if he drifts at a speed of one kilometer every year, and a distance of more than 1.6 million meters, how many years will it take to reach the United States, I don't need to say how to convert it." Vera retorted unceremoniously. To.
"The spread of germs. There are no fish around the garbage continent. Even if there are, they are dead. There are more than 20 kinds of germs that we have detected."
"Once the sea water brings these germs to the coast of the United States, what should we do? A strong typhoon can form an ocean current that can reach several kilometers. At the current frequency, you think it will take several years.
"You don't know the degree of pollution along the coast of the United States. There is a hotbed for these germs. Once the germs migrate, they will take root and spread quickly." Lille retorted directly, based on facts.
"Lille, I know what you said, and I will write it in the report truthfully. We are only workers, not decision makers. Before we set off, we all signed a confidentiality agreement."
"A lot of people in our group are counting on this project to survive. Once we do something illegal, many people lose their financial resources. They are all people with families."
"It's okay to let the big people worry about this. We can do our job well. For the sake of confidentiality, they will definitely not dissolve our group. The income in the next few years will be guaranteed."
"Lille, don't smash these people's jobs" Vera turned around and left after saying these words.
Lille looked at Vera's back and began to meditate. Vera said it was very realistic. There were 38 project team members on board and more than 20 people had no other part-time jobs. They were truly unemployed after leaving the project team.
For a while, Lille looked at the sea in the distance "sigh...".
In the evening, Vera submitted her report, and the analysis was very detailed, especially the existence of that kind of bacteria, and she gave a detailed explanation.
In the afternoon of the next day, Vera received a call and stayed alone on the deck for almost half an hour, and finally stood there for a while before returning to the cabin.
"Papa Papa" Vera clapped her hands and focused everyone's attention.
"Everyone, the relevant departments are very satisfied with our work. From next month, everyone's salary will increase by one thousand dollars, and the working period will be temporarily extended indefinitely."
"All we have to do is to sign a new non-disclosure agreement" Vera announced the news, and everyone immediately began to cheer, only a few people found the abnormality.
Two days later, the new confidentiality agreement was printed out, and after everyone signed it, it was sent back to the relevant departments via the Internet. Many people sighed inwardly that the new confidentiality agreement became more stringent.
The salary has increased by one thousand, which is really not easy to get.
Hawaii, at the Meteorological Monitoring Center, everyone is busy. A cyclone is already in the process of being formed. I don't know how far it will eventually develop and how much impact it will cause.
However, according to the procedure, there is no standard for issuing a warning.
Hangzhou, Tianqi Technology Headquarters, Xu Pingan watched a physical experiment on the third underground floor, a regional gravitational fixation experiment, this time the experiment was top secret.
By installing special equipment on the surface of an object, a gravitational zone is artificially created, which can block the attacks of bullets and rockets.
This layer is full of three layers of sound insulation materials. This is a refurbishment that has just been completed and is made of the latest sound insulation materials of Tianqi Advanced Materials Research Institute.
The five-layer silencing material is also the latest material used. They have just been refurbished and refurbished. The purpose is to prevent sound from being transmitted.
In the middle of the huge field, there is a huge sphere. The top of the sphere is full of protrusions. At the bottom, there are densely packed wires. Many people wear dust-free clothes walking back and forth for the final inspection.
Xu Pingan and Qiao Yicheng, the two watched in a special protective room. This kind of glass is also specially made. You just fire a rocket at the glass, and it won't break the glass.
Moreover, this kind of glass has three layers, the protection is well done, and the safety factor is extremely high.
Qiao Yicheng was notified, and when he came to his side, he whispered "President, everything is ready."
"Let's get started" Xu Ping'an said.
Qiao Yicheng walked to the side, pressed the button, and said to a wheat, "Start experiment."
The personnel began to evacuate, and a ten-person team appeared, three of them carrying fully automatic rifles, two of them carrying bazookas, and the rest of them carrying protective shields.
The guns were specially approved by the relevant departments, but the rocket launchers were not. They were smuggled in secretly. They were taken away as soon as the experiment was over, and no disaster should be left behind.
The other scientific researchers have already evacuated, and the equipment has started to operate. It is not long before the leader of the team waved, and the three men with automatic rifles began to take aim.
The captain said "fire".
"Da da.... da da da" three tongues of flames fired at the huge metal ball.
Xu Pingan and Qiao Yicheng both looked silly, everything in front of you subverted your perception, and all the bullets hovered around the metal ball one by one.
Just hovering in the air weirdly.
To be honest, these security personnel also ate it. This was a fully automatic rifle. The bullet with amazing lethality was hovering in the air, which obviously violated reality.
"Rocket preparation" the captain said sternly.
The two men immediately began to load the rockets to aim, set up the rocket launcher one step forward and aimed at the huge metal ball.
The "launch" captain yelled.
"Swish" two rockets flew towards the metal ball. "Boom boom" Two explosions came over. After launching the rockets, the person immediately squatted and hid behind the shield to avoid being injured by the shrapnel.
When the fire dissipated, everyone was surprised, including the experimenters who were surprised. The same was true of Xu Ping'an. The huge metal ball was unharmed.
There are still many fragments of rockets that are fixed around, and the impact force caused by the explosion will knock part of the bullets hovering in the air.
"Ohhhhhhhhh" project team members began to cheer, the security team members were completely dumbfounded, this is too damn good, the rockets are actually useless.
If this device is installed on the tank, the power is simply unimaginable.
In my mind, a large number of heavy tanks lined up to push forward, all the enemy's weapons were useless, and all anti-tank weapons were ineffective.
The iron torrent can reproduce its former glory.
Only if I bombard you with cannonballs, your cannonballs have no effect on me. When this picture appears in everyone's minds, everyone is agitated.
Xu Ping'an reacted and began to applaud. Qiao Yicheng accompanied and applauded. Xu Ping'an came to the front of the loudspeaker and pressed the button and said, "Congratulations, you have done a miracle."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Qiao Yicheng, "This project must be sealed, top secret + level, all personnel of the project team will be relocated to Idrius Island"
"Notify Chen Fansheng and Coster that their two project teams have also moved over, and the mechanics project team is all placed on the island of Edreus."
"If there are researchers who are unwilling to go there, sign a ten-year confidential contract with them, sign and compensate according to the strictest standards, and make it clear in advance that once the information is leaked, a price must be paid."
"Tianqi Group will definitely pursue the investigation to the end. It is not allowed to engage in research in this area for ten years. This must be clearly reflected in the contract."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away" Qiao Yicheng said directly, understanding the power of this project.
"Don't forget, completely destroy the things that don't exist" Xu Ping'an said with deep meaning.
Qiao Yicheng understood that items such as rocket launchers must be completely trimmed, and "I will begin trimming immediately" in Tianqi Technology Park.
Xu Ping'an nodded and patted Qiao Yicheng's shoulder, turned and left, and the surrounding bodyguards all left. Qiao Yicheng immediately arranged for a thorough investigation of the entire basement.
Not a single piece of shrapnel can be kept, and all are collected and transported out. Different from abroad, this is contraband. Once it is discovered, it will be a big deal.
