On the fourth day after the storm subsided, the fleet from Bohai Bay also arrived in Longyearbyen, the initiator of Operation Glacier, Professor Zhang Can, and academician Qin Yi from Changping Research Institute, finally arrived at the camp.

“The last time I came here, Longyearbyen was just a slightly larger village town, and I didn’t expect the camp to come back so much.Shocked by the sight of the sight, he had been in the city of Longyearbyen, and remained in the doomsday seed vault half a mountainside for nearly a week.

The city of Longyearbyen has changed so much that the former docks were only berthed for smaller fishing boats, but now it extends to the other side of the small airport a few kilometers to the west.There are many ships moored in the port, and from time to time there are cargo ships leaving here, and more ships enter the port.

Longyearbyen is an airport, located on the west side of the town, but was abandoned because of its small size, unable to support the take-off and landing of large transport aircraft.Now most of the airports have been converted into docks, just to be able to berth more freighters.

Zhang and others arrived in Longyearbyen during the day, but the polar night had already arrived here months earlier.The blue-gray snowfields and mountains are still as familiar as they were when they came here for half a year.The only difference now is that there is a huge camp at the foot of the mountain, and the lights add a lot of anger to the ice field.

More than a dozen nuclear reactors have been hoisted, and the project has entered the end, only waiting for the protagonists of the operation to arrive.

The protagonist of "Operation Glacier" is naturally sent by countries to carry out the people, and everyone has received a relatively satisfactory quota according to the number of efforts made for this action.

The United States is three, two are Gypros, China is two, and there is only one other country.

In the camp in Longyearbyen, the United States supports nearly half of the nuclear reactors, and the relevant equipment for the operation is also provided by them, and the Chinese side plays the main role in infrastructure work, and Gipros and other countries have a lot of materials to support because of the proximity, so the quota is determined, and there is no dispute.

The number of people involved in crossing time is also a symbol of national strength, and in this regard, the United States is still the world leader.If the delivery capacity is not up to the energy and equipment limit, you may also ask for an increase in the number of people.After all, sending people to three years ago is a great risk, and if someone in their country has an accident in the transmission process, it can almost be said that the most complete data in the first place is missing.

The greater the number of people, the greater the probability that their countries will reap the benefits of action, which is the tacit consensus of all participating countries.Everyone is also selfish in unity, after all, competition is everywhere.

“Finally ready!”After some repair, Zhang Cang finally waited for the notice to prepare for the action, he himself is one of the two members who represent China to participate in the crossing action, so when this moment came, he was very excited and trembling.

This is a excited reaction, Zhang can as the initiator of the action, he is full of confidence in the direction of his project, but also take the initiative to participate as a member of the crossing.Although he knows the risks, he has a determination to devote himself to scientific research.

“Why should my own project let others take risks on my behalf, and if I don’t dare to stand up for it, how can I get everyone’s trust?”This is the reason given by Zhang, for which he also conducted a short period of professional training at the Changping Research Institute.

There is not much time left for the world, more than a dozen sets of reactors and tens of thousands of equipment are all ready, and the limit time for energy and equipment to support is more than three years, and now the time is close to this value.

"Start," Zhang can be confidently ready to go to the crossing cabin set in the doomsday seed vault, but after arriving there, he suddenly heard a bad news.

The equipment has a problem of calculation errors in the valuation, and the energy ratio and related parameters may not match the actual situation.

“What are the consequences of these problems?”Zhang can ask.

“A person who travels through a powerful energy field is torn up and turned into a molecule or atom smaller than a powder.”George Mather's look was a little heavy, "I'm sorry, Professor Zhang, it was my mistake."

“How long does it take to recalculate?”His heart groaned, and his face became anxious.

“It will take a month at the earliest,” said George Mather, who had come to the conclusion just after the review.

“There’s not that much time.”

"I know," said George Mather, whose fault, though taken by him, was worth understanding.

The erection and commissioning of the equipment are the responsibility of George Mather and his team, but the number of equipment this time is too large, and there is very little time left for him, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in computing and valuation.

“We only have one week at most, and beyond that time, the success rate of the operation will fall below 10%.”George Mather said, "My team is still working, and if it doesn't work, it's only going to forcefully start."

"I see, Dr. George," Zhang could not have nodded, "doing his best."

“Do your best,” George Mather nodded, his eyes full of apologies.

Zhang could return to the camp in a dejected manner, and his appearance aroused Zhao Kang's curiosity.

“Brother Zhang, what happened?”Zhao Kang saw that he sighed a few times and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Zhang Can can tell the situation out, Zhao Kang can not help but be surprised, "less than 10% of the success rate?"What’s the difference between this and death?”

"As long as there is a little hope, even death is worth it."

"Brother Zhang, take me to see Dr. George Mather, and I want to talk to his team."Zhao Kang hastened.

“Talking about what?”

“Talk about algorithms.”

Zhang Can and took Zhao Kang to the equipment warehouse management room in the middle of the mountainside, and the two found George Mather, waiting for Zhao Kang to explain his intentions, and George Mather gathered all his team members.

“Young man, you should know that our time is very valuable,” said a U.S. researcher to Zhao Kang, who had just been pulled out of his work and was a bit upset.

“I would like to hear about the way you calculate and the difficulties that prevent you from increasing your speed.”Zhao Kang's heart is also very anxious, but he does not mind the researcher's slightly emotional words.

After listening to each other's description, Zhao Kang thought about it, and he raised three fingers.

"Give me three days, and I'll give you the results, of course, you'll have to give me the data you need to calculate."

“Young man, why do you think that what so many of us can’t do in a month, you can do it yourself in three days?”The American researcher stood up and said with some anger that he saw the young Chinese young man who had reported the figure for three days, and felt that he seemed to be insulting his team.

“By what?”80% to 90% of the data calculated by the first atomic bomb in China was calculated by hand.If you say it or not, we Chinese can create the possibility when everyone thinks it is impossible.”Zhao Kang also held a breath, he said three days is not a mouthful, how to help each other misunderstand their meaning.

Zhao Kang did not intend to argue with the American researcher again, he also stood up and said, "Give me the data needed for calculation, more than three days if I can't cash in what I said today, I will send my face to the door."

The U.S. people didn’t know what it was to “send a face to door,” but they heard Zhao Kang’s tone knowing that the young man had issued a military warrant.George Mather nodded, motioning a member of his team to get the backup data.

The astrophysicist is both looking at Zhang's face and some dead horses as living horse doctors.In any case, the Chinese people themselves took the initiative to ask to participate, and then the responsibility for failure caused by the wrong calculation of the data was shared.

“Zhao Kang, are you sure?”On the way down the mountain, Zhang could ask.

"Sixty percent sure, but that's enough."Zhao Kang nodded his head.

"Well, I trust you."Zhang could pat his arm, and didn’t ask him much about his method.Because Zhang can know, even if Zhao Kang tells himself his method, he will not necessarily understand.

Zhao Kang said that the bottom of the 60% grasp is based on the creation of a separate algorithm, this set of algorithms need to use a wide range of knowledge, in the creation of it is very complex, but as long as the creation of success, it will simplify most of the calculation methods, greatly improve the calculation efficiency.

This is similar to doing a mathematical problem, a simple analogy, the same two people together to do "1 + 2 + 3 ... + 100" arithmetic problem, the former will only start from 1 to add the following numbers, his calculation speed will be very slow, and the algorithm of the other person, he can not calculate a mouthful to report 5050 answers.

This is a simple analogy, but it is the epitome of all algorithms.

The reason why Zhao Kang has this confident report of three days is that his algorithm is already ahead of George Mather's team.

After burying himself in the room for three days, Zhao Kang really came up with another calculation result, which he gave to George Mather and compared the results of his team's initial calculation.

“You mean we’re wrong to use certain scalar data as vectors?”George Mather was not a wise man in the scientific community, and less than a quarter of an hour after the two data were obtained, he found out the problem.

“How do you make sure your results are correct?”The U.S. scholar who competed with Zhao Kang three days ago was a bit unconvinced.

"I counted the result and then reversed it, believe it or not."Zhao Kang also responded politely.

"Based on your calculations, you are ready to do the final equipment test work."There is not much time left for us, and now one of the two results has been proven wrong and the other may just be wrong.Finally George Mather quipped.
