Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 47 Jinghai Plain
moon?!
This immediately shocked even Jiang Yang.

Sun Changhe asked the question before Jiang Yang: "How credible is this judgment?"

Lu Zhaoming gritted his teeth: "One hundred percent."

A neutrino telescope can determine the angle at which a neutrino is incident, and conversely, it can determine the direction in which a neutrino is incident.

With a single telescope, we can only determine the direction but not the distance, and the error is relatively high. However, it's different when multiple telescopes observe together.

The incident angles of neutrinos observed by the eight telescopes are simultaneously extended in opposite directions in space. Obviously, the place where these extensions eventually intersect is the coordinate of the neutrino source.

Now, data shows that this neutrino source has landed on the moon.

At the same time, these neutrinos have extremely high energy, which is distinct from neutrinos produced by the sun, the earth's interior, and artificial nuclear reactors.

These neutrinos have previously only been occasionally observed in high-energy cosmic radiation.

The words "moon" and "high-energy neutrinos" kept intertwining in Jiang Yang's mind, making his thoughts a jumbled mess.

"Professor Lu, do you believe that these high-energy neutrinos are the cause of acute radiation sickness in humans?"

"Our existing physical theories do not support this possibility at all. But in reality... I don't know."

We know far too little about the physical world. Perhaps high-energy neutrinos do possess some properties that we don't yet know about?

Or, it's possible that neutrinos also possess characteristics similar to electromagnetic waves, with different frequencies exhibiting different properties, just as visible light is harmless to the human body, but lasers can kill it.

In this regard, I can only offer some guesses. But that's really not important.

Professor Lu Zhaoming's expression finally hardened: "We don't need to know what role neutrinos played in the apocalypse, or what scientific principles are involved in this process that we don't know."

All we need to know is that the apocalypse is indeed related to neutrinos, and that the source of neutrinos is on the moon.

If we could destroy that neutrino source…

Jiang Yang was shocked.

It does!

Like a primitive man, he may not understand the principles of modern firearms at all, not know why the small things fired by the gun can kill him, and may not think about how to stop the bullets.

All he needed to do was one thing.

Just smash that gun with a stone.

In this context, if we can find a way to destroy the neutrino source on the moon, human civilization may be able to survive this doomsday!
Having figured this out, Jiang Yang felt instantly invigorated.

This is my fifth time going through this cycle.

In this cycle, he saw far too many people who, despite having no hope ahead and knowing full well that they would die in this life, still persevered in their fight against the apocalypse.

Lifetime after life of failure, death after death, endlessly repeating this cycle for just ten days.

After repeated failures and deaths, in this life... is there finally a glimmer of hope?

Sun Changhe calmly asked, "Professor Lu, what are the precise coordinates of the neutrino source? Where on the moon is it located?"

"Due to the short observation time, these data cannot determine coordinates that are too precise."

What is currently confirmed is that the neutrino radiation source is located within a sphere of approximately 10 kilometers in radius within the Mare Tranquilum on the Moon. "A sphere?"

"Yes. It doesn't necessarily have to be on the lunar surface; it could be above or below the lunar surface."

"Our most urgent task right now is to figure out what's going on at the corresponding coordinates. Professor Lu, do we have the capability to do that right now?"

Lu Zhaoming whispered a few words to his colleagues and said, "If it's located on the ground or on the surface, then yes."

Currently, my country's lunar exploration satellite is operating smoothly in lunar orbit, at an average distance of about 50 kilometers from the lunar surface.

Its resolution reaches approximately 0.4 meters, making it the highest resolution among the only two visible light-band exploration satellites currently in lunar orbit.

If there are any special objects on the surface of Mare Tranquillitatis on the moon, it can definitely be photographed.

If it exists underground, then there's nothing that can be done.

Sun Changhe decisively ordered: "Contact the satellite's operation and maintenance team and immediately begin reconnaissance of the corresponding coordinates! We'll see if there's anything there first!"

"Yes."

The secretary agreed and hurriedly left the conference room where Sun Changhe was, obviously to contact the relevant team.

A moment later, Sun Changhe glanced down at his phone and said in a deep voice, "I have received a reply from the satellite operation and maintenance team. Including the time for maneuvering and orbit change, the first image of Tranquil Sea should arrive in about two hours."

Professor Lu, prepare the analysis team.

"Yes."

Sun Changhe looked at Jiang Yang: "Commander Jiang, I suggest we adjourn for now."

At this stage, without clarifying the specific situation at the Jinghai coordinate point, it is difficult for our side to make any further judgments or decisions.

At the same time, the amount of information is simply too much and too overwhelming. Everyone except Jiang Yang needs some time to process and process it.

Jiang Yang nodded slightly: "Okay."

A radio wave was emitted from the Earth control console and crossed the 38-kilometer distance between the Earth and the Moon in about 1.27 seconds, successfully entering a satellite that was the size of a small car and had large solar panels and a dish-shaped antenna.

The next moment, the long-dormant thrusters ignited, and the hydrazine fuel stored inside the satellite began to burn, ejecting high-temperature, high-pressure gas.

Under the influence of the thrust, the lunar reconnaissance satellite changed its flight direction and flew rapidly along the dark gray, crater-strewn moon at an altitude of about 50 kilometers.

Gradually, it arrived above a vast lunar plain covered with dark gray basalt.

This is Jinghai.

More than three billion years ago, when the moon had just formed, its core had not yet cooled down and was still experiencing relatively active geological activity.

An ancient lunar volcano erupted, spewing lava that flowed freely and cooled slowly over the next tens of thousands of years, eventually creating this vast plain with a diameter of about 900 kilometers and a total area of ​​about 42 square kilometers.

This plain is so vast that it can be seen with the naked eye from anywhere on Earth.

During a full moon, the large, dark area located in the upper right part of the moon is the Tranquil Plain.

For a long time, people have conducted extensive explorations of the Tranquil Plain. However, this is the first time that such detailed photography has been carried out at the highest resolution, specifically targeting an area of ​​only about 300 square kilometers within Tranquil Plain.
