April 2027, Liangguo
In the Oval Office of the Colorful House, Administrative Officer Quinlan looked at the briefing paper handed over by Nancy and said to Mr. E:
"How did your investigation team get this information? Is the information reliable?"
"Yes, Ms. Consul, the target of our investigation was originally the Yuhan people, but we accidentally got the information that the Luzhi people were preparing to blow up almost all the Jade Khanate's nuclear facilities. This was said by the relevant person in charge of the Dingtian organization. , it should be confirmed.”
Consul Alice Quinlan raised her eyes and looked at Nancy. She seemed to realize something again. She came to a conclusion first and said firmly:
"Tell the people in Luzhi that we firmly oppose their doing this. Haven't the people in Luzhi caused us enough trouble?"
Nancy held back her praise for the consul's quick response. It seemed that her advice to the consul to show firmness and decisiveness these days had indeed achieved results. This was undoubtedly the most important thing for the Liang Kingdom's first young female consul who had taken over in a hurry. important.
Nancy followed the Archon's statement for further analysis.
The enriched uranium and tens of thousands of high-speed centrifuges that the Jade Khanate has painstakingly accumulated are the most important bargaining chips in their hands. If the people in Chihiro rashly destroy them all, it will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences.
Liang's military facilities and personnel in the Gubo Bay area are likely to suffer large-scale retaliation.
What makes Liangguo even more embarrassed is whether the Liangguo aircraft carrier battle group that routinely patrols the waters off Gubo Bay evacuates in advance or pretends not to know.
To continue on duty, or to send additional aircraft carriers deployed in the Pacific to the Gubo Bay area, would put Liang's country into a catastrophic embarrassment.
Avoiding it in advance would be a sign of weakness and would reveal a tacit attitude towards the host country.
If the troops are increased, if the Jade Khanate recklessly attacks the Liang Kingdom's aircraft carrier, then the Liang Kingdom will have to go to war against the Jade Khanate.
In front of Mr. E, Nancy had a more important reason that she didn't say. As long as the people in Chicago blew up the Jade Khanate's nuclear facilities, the Liang Kingdom's Congress and voters would definitely think that the Quinlan governor of the Equal Rights Party had tacitly supported it. , even actively provoked.
If the incident escalates due to the Jade Khanate's retaliation, it will be equivalent to directly announcing that Alice Quinlan has lost the 2028 consul election.
Mr. E stood up and said:
"Madam Consul, I fully understand. I will immediately inform the people in Chicago, and at the same time cooperate with the Overseas Intelligence Service to stop their actions."
After David Halsey received the instruction, he immediately informed the people in Chicago to cancel the operation.
David knew that his notice was only a courtesy, and that the Overseas Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would use a more official form to greatly oppress or even obstruct the people traveling to Chicago.
There are more important issues that trouble David Halsey. His task is to investigate the mysterious message of the "little girl" from Jade Khan.
Does the couple of Jade Khanate agents have anything to do with this matter? Is my intuition wrong?
Before returning from Port Ravi, Loew had handed over the relevant materials of Bashir and Camilla to David.
The Bashirs' cover identities are citizens of the Kingdom of Merkin and owners of agricultural companies. They have farms in the Kingdom of Merkin, the Jade Khanate, the southern Shuangzhou Kingdom, and even the Southern Lions Gate Islands, a territory of Country F.
Not long ago, they cooperated with a biological company in Yuhua Country to develop and produce agricultural water-retaining agents.
Intelligence shows that both Bashir and Kamila (real name Roxana) are orphans, and the identities of their biological parents are unknown.
Aquasorb? Is it just a cover to purchase air environment equipment for the cave, or does it have some unknown purpose?
If it's just a cover, do the Yuhan people need to open agricultural companies in so many places?
Even if it's a fake show, isn't it a bit overdone? There are too few clues, but as an excellent professional agent, David still trusts his intuition.
The Jade Khanate couple is probably related to the "little girl" incident, and the water-retaining agent must have a special purpose!
David found Professor Braun again. After hearing David's troubles and questions, the professor couldn't help laughing and said:
"I am engaged in astronomy and astrophysics. Water-retaining agent? You have to ask an agriculturalist about this?"
David smiled bitterly and said:
"Then put the water-retaining agent away for a while, and then you can tell me about Tesla's theory and the experiment of Super Horizon. The Yuhan people have told us very clearly that their method of dealing with us is related to Tesla's theory. .”
Professor Braun talked about the experiment conducted by the Beyond Horizon probe near Pluto on July 14, 2015 to verify the existence of Tesla ultra-light waves.
In order to reach Pluto at the scheduled time, Transcendence's launch speed reached 16.2 kilometers per second, making it the fastest spacecraft to launch.
In addition to fast launch speed, it is also necessary to reduce the weight of the spacecraft as much as possible. The total weight of the spacecraft cannot exceed half a ton.
The spacecraft carries the necessary power system, various imaging systems and nuclear fuel, leaving very little space and load capacity for the instruments of the ultra-light wave experiment.
Project T researchers racked their brains to design an experimental plan that could obtain reliable verification results using the least amount of equipment.
The experiment is as follows: According to Tesla's theory, any object whose diameter is greater than the wavelength of super-light waves will be incident on the object, and the absorbed energy will cause the surface of the object to become abnormally heated.
Experimenters placed 180,000 kilometers of nanometer-diameter carbon fiber wires at the back of the detector.
When it was close to reaching Pluto, an ultra-small power unit was ejected from the cabin. It used inertia to keep the same direction and speed as the spacecraft 180,000 kilometers away. The silk threads were straightened and tied to both ends of the small power unit and the spacecraft.
If ultralight waves are present, the temperature of the thread will rise to several hundred kelvins.
Even so, another problem is that the equipment in the spacecraft cannot directly measure the surface temperature of the wire, and it is not feasible to install sensors on the wire.
Scientists asked Beyond Horizons to carry two specialized instruments: the Solar Wind Analyzer (SWAP) and the High Energy Particle Spectrometer (PEPSSI).
Neutral atoms escaping in Pluto's atmosphere will turn into charged high-energy particles under the influence of the solar wind. Two instruments can compare the difference in high-energy particles near and far away from the surface of the silk thread to calculate the temperature of the silk thread surface.
If the surface temperature of the silk thread is several hundred Kelvin, the existence of super-light waves is verified. If the measured temperature is only the same temperature as the environment, that is, about 3 Kelvin, then the super-light wave theory is wrong.
To put it simply, if there are super-light waves, then the silk thread will generate heat, and the particles close to the thread will have a stronger abnormal electromagnetic response than the particles that are far away or more normal.
That is, if the nearby particles are normal and super-light waves do not exist, but if the nearby particles are abnormal, the existence of super-light waves is directly proved.
A crucial condition for completing the experiment is a strong solar wind, because the Beyond Horizon probe is very fast and reaches Pluto almost in a flash.
In order to ensure that there would be sufficient solar wind strength at that time, Project T researchers set the experiment date for July 14, 2015, more than nine years in advance.
This is the day when Jupiter conjuncts Regulus.
Because the solar activity of this astronomical phenomenon is most strongly affected by the ultra-light wave occlusion relationship, the probability of the solar wind intensity increasing is the highest.
"I have told you the subsequent results. The solar wind arrived as expected on July 14, and we also successfully detected an abnormal heat signal, which directly verified Tesla's prediction of super-light waves. The experiment was a complete success." Professor Braun was proud. said.
"I understand, professor. However, what I am curious about is, if this experiment is done in low-Earth orbit, can a more direct experimental method be used?" David asked.
"I have long said that you are really underachieving if you don't engage in astronomy and physics research!" Braun was surprised by David's understanding and continued:
"The experimental conditions in low-Earth orbit are much better. Two spacecraft can be used to pull thicker micron-sized carbon fiber filaments, and the thermal signal power will be greater. The thermal signal can also be directly measured using a third spacecraft or satellite nearby. ." The professor pondered for a moment and then said:
"We cannot do this experiment in low-Earth orbit to keep Tesla's secret, so we have to go as far as Pluto to do the experiment. The extremely low-frequency radiation produced by the experiment in low-Earth orbit is likely to be discovered by long-wave stations in other countries."
David thought and asked again:
"How powerful is the heat signal, and can it be received by a long-wave antenna on the ground?"
Professor Braun thought for a moment with the thinking habits of a rigorous scientist and said:
"The signals measured in space are more accurate and the experimental results are more reliable. There is no need to measure the signal strength on the ground. Whether it is a nano-scale or micron-scale silk thread, its long-wave radiation intensity is extremely low. In addition to satisfying curiosity, in What’s the point of terrestrial reception?”
