Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 19: What if we fail?

Regardless of type, requisitioning all particle accelerators nationwide would be an extremely large-scale operation, potentially involving the entire country.

Whether this action is worthwhile, and whether the country should expend such enormous resources, manpower, and most precious time on it, can only be judged by one's own perspective as a time traveler and a cycler.

Jiang Yang took a deep breath, his brain working at lightning speed.

A mere ten seconds later, he raised his head and looked at Sun Changhe.

"Director Sun, I request that the government intervene to cooperate in completing this project."

Sun Changhe's expression was serious: "Received, mission accomplished."

The meeting should be coming to an end at this point.

All eyes were on Jiang Yang, waiting for the words "Meeting adjourned" to be uttered.

But Jiang Yang hesitated again and did not say those two words.

After a long silence, he slowly said, "Doing only this one project is not enough."

He looked at Lu Zhaoming and said, "Professor Lu, what do you think is the success rate of finding a radiation formula?"

Lu Zhaoming hesitated for a moment, then his expression hardened: "If we mobilize the power of the state, I think the success rate is very high."

"What if it fails?"

Lu Zhaoming remained steadfast: "I believe that in the face of such a major event as the end of the world, every link in the operation and every person involved will go all out. No matter the cost, we will do our utmost to ensure success."

"But what if everyone gives it their all, and the result is still failure?"

Jiang Yang said in a low voice, "I want to know, if the plan to find the radiation formula fails, what information can we leave for the next life?"

Sun Changhe paused for a moment, and Lu Zhaoming also fell silent.

Faced with such an apocalyptic disaster, no one has a way out, and everyone is determined to do everything in their power to succeed.

But Jiangyang is different.

His identity as a time traveler naturally allows him to consider issues from a higher perspective.

Faced with Jiang Yang's question, Lu Zhaoming remained silent for a long time before smiling wryly and saying, "It depends on the specific situation. If the solution to finding the radiation formula is successful, but the problem of dealing with this type of radiation ultimately fails, then there's nothing to say. You can take the information from this life with you and continue to try to find a solution in the next life."

If the search for the radiation formula itself fails, then let's take advantage of the unique circumstances of the apocalypse to pinpoint the source of the radiation as accurately as possible.

"Give me a definite and feasible solution."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhaoming requested a temporary recess and spent more than ten minutes exchanging ideas with the other scientists before giving his answer: "Generally speaking, we can take advantage of the fact that this radiation only affects the human body and is ineffective against other organisms and equipment by arranging a large number of experimental personnel in multiple specific experimental bases, and then use molecular-level radiation tracing equipment to trace the source of the radiation in reverse."

Simultaneously, a large number of detection devices will be deployed in natural environments such as outer space, high altitude, and underground, in conjunction with manned bases, to create another vast network for gathering as much intelligence as possible.

Jiang Yang nodded and looked at Sun Changhe: "This project also requires the government's involvement."

"receive."

Having finalized the two projects, Jiang Yang looked once more at the numerous experts in the video conference room and uttered those two words.

"Meeting dismissed."

The screen in front of him went black, and Jiang Yang leaned back in his chair, rubbing his forehead wearily. Although less than ten hours had passed since this cycle began, the physical and mental exertion he had expended in those ten hours was more than that of a 10,000-meter race.

It seems there's nothing more for me to do. After all, with the government involved, I don't need to worry about the specifics of these two projects.

But Jiang Yang still did not choose to rest.

Upon finding Gu Changshan, Jiang Yang said, "Arrange for someone to conduct a thorough assessment of my knowledge of physics, especially high-energy physics, as soon as possible, and then develop a learning plan for me based on the assessment results."

I don't need to actually become a physicist; I just need a general understanding of various fields of knowledge, to be able to detect anomalies when I see or encounter related phenomena, to be able to describe them relatively clearly, and to have a preliminary judgment.

"I'll get on it right away. Someone will contact you within half an hour."

Gu Changshan left in a hurry, while Jiang Yang lay on the bed in the lounge staring at the ceiling, trying to relax his slightly tense nerves.

As the chief commander of the doomsday plan, standing on the front line of humanity's fight against the apocalypse, I must seize the time to improve my knowledge base.

Otherwise, there might be a lot of hidden information within the details of the apocalypse that one cannot discover or understand, making it impossible to bring it back. At the same time, every decision one makes requires sufficient knowledge to support it.

Although having top scientists nationwide, such as Lu Zhaoming, as scientific advisors is important, it is ultimately not as good as truly mastering the knowledge yourself.

For others, with only ten days left until the end of the world, starting to learn about the vast amount of related knowledge in such a short time is completely useless.

But it's different for me.

Each cycle will have a new ten days; the more you learn, the greater your chances of escaping the apocalypse.

In less than twenty minutes, a file was transferred to Jiang Yang's computer. Upon opening it, he saw that it was an exam paper.

After a quick glance, Jiang Yang determined that this was a test paper covering almost all knowledge points from junior high school to cutting-edge physics.

After completing this test, your physics level will be fully revealed.

After completing the exam and clicking submit, the unknown physics teacher or scientist on the other end of the line sent back the results in just a few minutes.

"Based on our analysis, your physics knowledge level is roughly equivalent to that of a first-year university student majoring in a physics-related field. Based on your current level and your needs, I have developed the following learning plan for you..."

Jiang Yang opened the document and saw titles such as "An Introduction to Special Relativity", "Mechanics", and "Thermodynamics".

"Our team is on call 24 hours a day. You can contact us anytime you have time."

Jiang Yang took a deep breath and replied, "Let's begin now."

"it is good."

Upon opening the video link, Jiang Yang saw a slightly overweight middle-aged man standing in front of a blackboard: "Hello Mr. Liu, I am Wang Dashan, you can call me Teacher Wang."

Next, I will present the relevant course to you.

He had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.

"I wonder what kind of treatment Gu Changshan gave to make this teacher so happy."

A thought crossed his mind, and Jiang Yang focused his attention and immersed himself in his studies.
