Why has the temperature dropped so drastically?
Need I say more?
Everyone who spoke with Cheng Wanli immediately thought of CW-7 from a couple of days ago when they heard this question.
Could it be that Mather already knew about the effects of CW-7 and deliberately released it?
Or perhaps, the CW-7's performance simply exceeded Mather's expectations?
But then, almost simultaneously, everyone wondered if they were being too conspiratorial.
"CW-7 was only released once, so it shouldn't have caused such drastic global weather changes, right? If it really has such a powerful effect, then is the existence of this refrigerant beyond the scope of current technology?"
"But its effects were indeed exceptionally remarkable, and the meteorological anomaly occurred right after its emissions..."
Did Mather actually know the true effectiveness of the CW-7? And were the data he released accurate?
Every idea has its supporters, and after listening to these opinions, Cheng Wanli was actually undecided.
He wasn't getting hung up on any conspiracy theories.
As someone who can distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions, he knows that the primary contradiction right now is not to find out what conspiracy is behind CW-7.
More importantly, how should we respond to this disaster?
What he needs to do is simultaneously cope with the drastic climate change to prevent disasters from causing huge losses, and find out the real reason for the cooling of the atmosphere.
If it really is related to CW-7, then he needs to obtain the actual data on CW-7 before he can take targeted measures to salvage the current situation... xS12
Of course, given the current urgency, these things cannot be done step by step.
If he does that, who knows how much time will pass before he gets the actual data.
Judging from the current rate and extent of the temperature drop, it is estimated that even more severe disasters will occur soon.
He has to use multiple methods simultaneously, and also streamline the process...
"I hope you can work with me to put pressure on them and get Mather to hand over the real data."
This was the last thing Cheng Wanli said to the others, and everyone readily agreed.
No one made excuses.
Besides this appeal.
Information warfare, espionage, and many other methods of acquiring information have been developed by Cheng
The system was launched simultaneously across thousands of miles.
He doesn't necessarily have to wait for Mather to hand over the data; he can go and get it himself!
After arranging things for CW-7, Cheng Wanli didn't relax. He then inquired about other possibilities that might have caused the cooling phenomenon.
Sun, geothermal energy, ocean currents, monsoons...
Calls have been issued to all possible directions to conduct rapid research and tackle key problems, attempting to uncover any underlying causes related to atmospheric cooling.
Meanwhile, overnight, the work of preventing cold and disaster relief was quickly mobilized across the country. People in various places had just gotten up when they saw various disaster warnings on television, on the streets, and on buses and subways.
Wait until morning.
Cheng Wanli finally had a moment to turn his attention back to what had happened the night before.
"We have now determined that the blue streaks that appeared in the sky last night were actually a type of artificially created high-temperature plasma... and were by no means naturally formed."
The speaker was Xu Chi, the leader of the temporary research group.
The team leader rubbed his eyes, looking a little sleepy. The plasma flow had just appeared yesterday, and less than an hour later, he had been ordered to go to the site to investigate.
After spending half the night there without finding any immediate clues, I returned in the morning.
Of course, people on site were already observing changes in gas composition and temperature.
Cheng Wanli thanked him for his hard work, then said, "But the problem now is, someone who can create a plasma jet hundreds of kilometers long probably doesn't exist on Earth, right?"
Xu Chi paused for a moment, then instead of answering the question, he took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it, revealing lines of calculation formulas:
"Based on my calculations on the plane, these plasmas carry enormous energy. They are not only extremely hot, but also have high speed and high pressure, which indicates that their previous environment was very unusual."
How extraordinary is it?
"I think they are most likely byproducts of nuclear fusion."
Cheng Wanli's expression shifted slightly as he stared at the piece of paper in Xu Chi's hand.
There's no need to say anything more at this point.
Nuclear fusion, and the ability to eject such a terrifying stream of plasma, is simply beyond the capabilities of humankind.
Unless there are still on Earth
There is a country called White Panther...
"Besides this, what other information can be confirmed?"
"Could these ejected plasmas be a special weapon?" Cheng Wanli recalled the phone calls he had received from other countries, many of whom worried that it was a secret weapon.
"Judging from the results, they do indeed possess enormous destructive power. Currently, no material can withstand their high temperature and impact, much like plasma cannons in science fiction works. Moreover, they may also have the effect of weather attacks," Xu Chi said.
"Eighty military drones took off last night, but the vast majority were damaged by the surrounding high temperatures. Only two were able to get close enough to observe the situation in detail."
"However, I think that's unlikely," Xu Chi shook his head. "The energy required to launch such a plasma stream is enormous; it would require at least a super-large fusion reactor specifically designed to power it."
Xu Chi explained in detail how much energy would be needed to launch such a "plasma cannon," and how the reactor would need to be designed to travel...
"But how can such a reactor be used to power a plasma cannon?"
Xu Chi raised his voice at the end of his sentence and shook his head again, admitting that he couldn't understand and even doubted whether his perspective was too narrow.
Cheng Wanli also found it hard to understand why such an advanced device would be used to power a cannon.
What kind of Zenith Star technology is this?
Could those aliens be the culprits behind global cooling?
"It seems that in addition to global cooling, we also have to deal with these aliens, and we don't even know where their spaceships are docked."
Cheng Wanli was very worried.
But Xu Chi was taken aback. "Spaceship?"
He felt as if an electric current was running through his body, and his hair almost stood on end.
"You're asking if it's possible that that plasma was ejected from the engines of an alien spacecraft?"
Cheng Wanli did not reply to him.
But Xu Chi's heart was pounding; he felt he had found the truth:
"Those plasmas are characterized by high pressure, high speed, and high energy. The high energy is an inherent property of the fusion reactor, while the high pressure and high speed are complementary!"
"If we could eject all that plasma from a single nozzle, we could definitely generate terrifying thrust!"
Xu Chi's eyes were bright and piercing.
