"No, Mr. Felix, I don't agree with your point of view!" Just when people were desperate, a cold female voice came from behind, Jack took a closer look, and it turned out to be his assistant Yuriko!
In other words, her real occupation is actually an outstanding physicist, followed by her assistant. But after getting along these days, Jack often neglects this because of his age.
She is too young, after all, she is only 20 years old. It seems that Yuriko is also a genius.
Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Yuriko continued, "Judging from the size and depth of the crater, it is impossible for this spaceship to be as heavy as you said. If it has a mass of billions of tons, even if the speed is not high, it can easily Break through the entire moon!"
"In fact, the spaceship smashed a small hole, and part of it is still exposed on the surface."
Felix nodded after listening. Although she was questioned, what she said did make sense. In fact, Felix hopes that his point of view is wrong. If the spaceship can be lighter, then the chances of human beings will be more!
"What's more, assuming that the alien spacecraft has a huge mass, it will inevitably produce a strong gravitational force! We have lived here for so long and have done so many high-precision experiments, but we have never found any abnormality in gravitational force."
"This shows that its mass will not be very large! We cannot use our human knowledge level to imagine alien technology!"
These words are like a ray of sunshine in winter, a clear spring in the desert, everyone's thoughts are activated, even Jack is no exception.
Everyone was discussing in a low voice, Yuriko's words were well-founded, indeed, people have built bases for so long, and haven't found any abnormalities in gravity. Therefore, it cannot be billions of tons, as long as it is reduced by several orders of magnitude, human beings have a solution!
This is hope! This is hope! If this spaceship is really light, maybe there is hope!
If it is light, humans can escape from the moon; if it is heavy, they can only stick to it. This is the quality that determines fate!
But what is the mass of the spaceship? Discussions alone won't yield results, and soon, some scientists began to design experimental plans for the purpose of weighing this alien spacecraft!
The material of the spacecraft is unknown, and people have no way to disassemble part of it, so there is no way to use the formula of "mass = density * volume", but this is not difficult for scientists. They have a lot of ways, and it only took an hour , more than 20 proposals were submitted.
Jack took a quick look and found that he had various ideas. The fastest and most reliable is an experiment similar to the "Cavendish torsion balance", which converts the small changes that are not easy to observe into the significant changes that are easy to observe, and then calculates the small changes based on the relationship between the significant changes and the small changes .
Look again, other programs also have their own characteristics, and it is impossible to judge which one is good or bad.
Seeing the hopeful faces of the scientists, Jack felt a little relieved.
"Then, this morning's meeting ends here. Please measure the mass of the alien spacecraft before three o'clock in the afternoon. Also, all production in the base will continue as usual. Everyone must keep it secret from the public to avoid riots. Please!"
Jack had just announced the end of the meeting, and some anxious scientists had already rushed out. They can't wait to experiment.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, unexpectedly, he finally asked for help from the aliens' black technology. Although the feeling of not being able to control this kind of fate in his own hands is uncomfortable, Jack still hopes that it will bring more surprises to mankind...
"Mr. Jack, wake up! Wake up!" Just after a while, Jack felt someone patting him on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Yuriko.
Her expression didn't seem to have changed, even such a big event didn't change her expression, she still had that cold look.
"You still have five places to inspect and 21 documents to review. There are more than 30 unread documents in your mailbox that need to be answered, please hurry up!" Yuriko kept urging.
"Okay, okay, I got it!" Jack was very curious about how Dr. Roman raised such a daughter. In terms of appearance, with curved eyebrows and big eyes, he is actually not bad, but in terms of personality... he looks like a robot! No wonder, there are no gay men pursuing her.
He shook his head and walked to another inspection site. Immediately afterwards, his face became serious and he made a call.
The situation of the moon base is improving day by day, and the plants in the food production base are growing day by day, but there are always some unsettled elements secretly making small moves.
Most of them were officials from the original base, because they escaped Calvin's death by hiding in the underground facility. Now that they have been transferred to the grassroots due to personnel changes, they may be out of jealousy or unwillingness, and they always make some small moves secretly.
Anyway, we should take this opportunity to suppress the last unstable factor.
"Di, di, di" the phone rang three times, and someone answered the phone.
"I am Jack, the No. 1 Special Forces of China's Third Brigade!"
"I am the third team of China, the first special force, Jimmy!"
After the two met in the army, Jack quickly asked, "Sean, how is it? Is the law and order in the base okay now?"
"Reporting captain, it's basically good and relatively stable." Jimmy replied, "The members of the security team committed some crimes and were willing to follow our arrangements. After all, they were also rescued by us. Now, the military power in the base is fully controlled In our hands!"
"That's good, we must ensure the safety of the base!"
"Yes!" Jimmy hesitated for a while, "Captain... We are really too busy now, we don't have enough manpower! The entire base has less than a hundred soldiers, but we have to manage 50,000 soldiers. Two squads are facing each other. There is basically no time to rest, so busy! No matter how many policemen have to be recruited?"
"Don't even think about conscription. Now all the production groups are working hard and there is not enough manpower. How can anyone be willing to serve as a soldier?" Jack said with a smile, "It's good if you can survive."
"Yeah, it's good if you can live." Jimmy nodded and said, although the conditions are countless times more difficult than those on Earth, everyone still wants to live.
Jack paused for a while, not knowing how to speak. But in the end, he organized his language and told Jimmy that "the moon may be destroyed".
Jimmy was silent for a long time, as if in a daze, he suddenly smiled, "Captain, we haven't experienced anything, we are all people who have died several times, the worst is to die again. What you said is nothing, just leave it to the scientists , I trust them!"
"That's right, Captain, isn't there still six months left? It's early! I haven't seen you for a long time, come and see us!" Yao, the black fat man next to him, yelled.
"Shut up! How can you speak!" Jimmy said angrily.
Jack suddenly felt a sore nose, his comrades are still the cutest and closest people, "When this wave of work is over, we will practice shooting on the spaceship! Feel free to try out the latest equipment!"
"Haha, Captain, you're a superhuman, it's only fair that you have to be beaten by several!" Yao seemed to have his mouth covered, but he still yelled.
"Captain, don't pay attention to him, this is a big mouth, discipline is so bad, he must be disciplined." Jimmy said.
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and then, Jack coughed lightly, which was his habitual action before talking about the business, "Okay, Jimmy, let's talk about the business."
"Yes, captain!" Jimmy's tone became serious, and Yao's playfulness stopped abruptly.
"There may be people who are dissatisfied with us now, and they still want to make trouble at this time. It's hard to guard against villains. You should pay close attention to it. I think someone may spread rumors. Take this opportunity to arrest all these people!"
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Jimmy said decisively, with a trace of murderous look in his eyes. According to his understanding, these people were all saved by them, can they still turn the world upside down?
The base has been messed up once, and it must not be messed up again!
...
In the afternoon, after only five hours, the second emergency meeting started again, and the moment to decide the fate of people has arrived!
