Chapter 1580: The Plan That Shocked Everyone

“This is impossible!”

Looking at the calculation and simulation results projected in the holographic beam, Professor Zhu Haiqing’s face was red. He stood up from the table with the help of his hands and said in disbelief, “There must be a problem when importing parameters!”

Academician Liu was still secretly gloating.

After all, he was an old man in the industry. He didn’t express this emotion too much on his face. He just gave a light cough and said casually, “That is the largest supercomputing center in the entire solar system. If you can’t even test your design there, I am afraid that only aliens can help you.”

Professor Zhu Haiqing’s face flushed red. His fists clenched and loosened, and he finally sat back.

Scientific research was very realistic. It either worked, or it didn’t.

If he submitted an excellent design plan, he could certainly lift his head proudly.

But now it seemed like...

Not adopting his plan had at least saved hundreds of billions of dollars for the Pan-Asian Cooperation.

Academician Ge did not make any comments, but he nodded at Professor Zhang with a blank expression.

This was normal.

In any case, there were at least twenty design proposals that could be used as alternatives.

After receiving the signal from Academician Ge, Professor Zhang immediately understood. His index finger tapped on the holographic keyboard again.

Next on display was the design proposal submitted by Academician Liu of the Institute of Aeronautics for the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

The researchers sitting in the conference room raised their spirits one after another.

Seeing that it was his turn to be scored, Academician Liu also slightly reduced the smug expression on his face. He put on a serious attitude and waited for the announcement of the results.

To be honest, he was quite optimistic about the results of the calculation and simulation.

Because before that, he had already established a similar mathematical model and ran it on the supercomputer at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, and the feedback obtained was quite gratifying.

However...

He froze, and the look on his face was gradually replaced by a shocked expression.

Almost exactly the same as Professor Zhu, Academician Liu suddenly stood up from his seat and exclaimed aloud, “This... How is this possible?!”

Success rate of 4%!

Only one percent higher than the success rate of Professor Zhu’s plan!

This is ridiculous!

Academician Liu couldn’t bear it anymore. He adjusted his expression, looked at Academician Ge, and argued fiercely, “I seriously suspect that the calculation model was changed! Or the quantum computer array itself has a serious hardware failure! Before submitting the design plan for review, our experts from the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study have already built a model. We have performed simulations, and it was definitely not like this!”

Professor Zhu smirked. He wanted to ridicule Academician Liu, but when he thought about how he was also a “victim” of the calculation simulation results, he decided to hold back.

The simulation results of several other shortlisted design proposals were released one after another. Almost none of the design proposals reached a satisfactory level of evaluation results.

Seeing that the voices in the conference room became noisier and noisier and gradually turned from a discussion to an argument, Professor Zhang looked at Academician Ge next to him with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

He whispered, “I also think that the results of this simulation are a bit too ridiculous. They are all our top-notch design experts in the field of aerospace engineering. How can it be possible that the success rate is only 4%? I heard a military conflict broke out on Ceres... Could it be that it caused damage to the computer server? For example, EMP weapons...”

“This is not something we can worry about... The problem now is that there are almost no design schemes with a success rate greater than 5%.” Feeling a headache, Academician Ge gave a wry smile and continued, “If the evaluation results are not wrong, the situation we are facing may not be which one to choose; it’s that we can’t choose any of them.”

Professor Zhang fell into silence. He couldn’t think of anything for a while.

Academician Ge still didn’t give up and ordered, “Submit those plans that were screened out in the primary selection too!”

Professor Zhang sighed.

“This is our only choice...”

Professor Zhang submitted the remaining 80 sets of design plans that were screened out to the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, and the military conducted calculation simulation evaluations on all 80 sets of plans.

It took a little longer this time.

After waiting for two hours, they finally received the results.

However, none of the design schemes met the standard.

The expression on Academician Ge’s face was a bit ugly. He was a little embarrassed.

Maybe it’s the supercomputer’s problem?

This doesn’t make sense.

At this moment, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the meeting room. When the door was pushed open by Academician Ge’s assistant, a happy voice said, “It’s Academician Lu—”

“Academician Lu is here?”

Academician Ge stood up from his seat with a smile. He immediately looked at his assistant who had been sent outside and asked excitedly, “Where is he now?”

With an embarrassed look on his face, the assistant coughed lightly and said, “He... may still be in his own home.”

The assistant didn’t dare to disappoint his boss, so he quickly added, “But he sent something... This is it.”

The assistant handed out the thumb-sized memory card in his hand.

Looking at the thumb-sized memory card, Academician Ge was stunned for a moment. He immediately handed it to Professor Zhang and said, “Quick! Put it on the holographic projector!”

Professor Zhang did not dare to waste time, so he quickly did what Academician Ge said.

Soon, a gyroscopic space station appeared in the holographic beam.

From the appearance alone, this design scheme was nothing special; it could only be regarded as satisfactory.

After seeing the blueprint displayed in front of him, whispers were heard again in the conference room.

“This design plan... seems a little ordinary? Is it really the work of Academician Lu?”

“It’s normal. After all, he is engaged in controllable fusion research. I haven’t heard anything about him designing space stations.”

“Not necessarily. Look at the four spindle-shaped cantilevers. They are probably meant to provide vertical lift by rotating? So the height of the center of gravity of the space elevator can be controlled?”

“Can this work?”

“I don’t know... but I think it’s a bit difficult. It’s difficult to achieve, either in the engineering sense or in the theoretical sense!”

The researchers in the conference room started discussing.

Academician Ge, who was sitting on the judge’s seat, also had a solemn expression on his face. He was thinking meticulously.

After pondering for two minutes, he suddenly seemed to have snapped back to reality and looked at Professor Zhang next to him.

“Send this blueprint to the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences and let the supercomputing center on Ceres run again!”

“Okay!”

Without the slightest pause, Professor Zhang immediately acted upon the order.

After more than 10 minutes of waiting, the simulation results were quickly presented to everyone.

The moment they saw the results, the faces of Professor Zhu and Academician Liu suddenly twitched.

The faces of Professor Zhang and Academician Ge were filled with surprise.

Everyone in the entire conference room was stunned.

Not because Academician Lu also failed...

It was because the results of the simulation calculations were exactly the opposite of what they expected.

The success rate was 49%!

Although this result wasn’t perfect, it was the only one that had a double-digit success rate...
