A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 335 Dark Matter Life

Not only America and Japan, but many other countries were also excited when they heard the news that Kagata was about to make landfall in Guangdong Province. They all wanted to see China suffer a setback under the power of nature.

It's not that I think Kagaza will cause much damage to China, or that Kagaza alone will defeat China; only someone who has lost their mind would have such thoughts.

However, over the years, this powerful behemoth has been suffocating them, making them feel that no matter how hard they try, they can't defeat it.

But now, seeing that China is just as powerless as they are under the might of nature, this myth has been shattered, and the fact that even giants can be injured brings them hope.

The most important thing for a person to live is hope; otherwise, the country will collapse sooner or later. The same applies to a nation.

……

In the America Conference Room, Wilson chuckled and looked at Fury, pointing to the predicted trajectory of Hagara. "Hagara's landing in Guangdong Province isn't the point; the point is for you to see its next move!"

Fury raised an eyebrow and, after a careful examination, suddenly realized that the Hagaza would pass through a long section of the equatorial orbit. At that time, the China Chaos Ring Project would face enormous challenges, or even be devastated.

After nearly a year of construction, given China's reputation as a construction powerhouse, the Chaos Ring is now taking shape. It is precisely because of this that Hagaza is able to cause even greater destruction.

If China stubbornly continues with the Chaos Ring Project, this huge gap might actually drag down this soaring dragon of China.

Politicians from various countries reveled in the spectacle, but netizens with no vested interests showed great compassion and spontaneously offered prayers for Guangdong Province.

[We're all in this together, and Guangdong is getting better and better. Friends in Guangdong, please stay safe!]

It's heartbreaking to see the trees fallen in Zhanjiang... We'll send pandas there after the typhoon passes to be cute and heartwarming. (Panda hugging bamboo.jpg)

We're delivering roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) and terracotta warriors to help you quell the typhoon!

We steamed 300 buns. If you don't know how to make dough-based foods, just tell me, and I'll pack and ship them out immediately!

We're delivering snail rice noodles! The smell will drive away even a typhoon!

[I've already donated half a month's salary; our brothers from Guangdong helped us during last year's floods in northern Hunan...]

In the face of disaster, everyone is united and determined. Some people are even editing videos on Bilibili (a Chinese video-sharing website) to cheer on the people of Guangdong Province in various local dialects.

Of course, this excludes netizens in Guangdong Province.

They posted various photos online, some with microphones pasted on their windows because water counteracts fire, and microphones...

There were also people posting pictures of Nicholas Tse on their windows, and others showing photos of penguins being firmly tied to the ground outside the Penguin Tower...

No one was too worried about it.

……

At the Yinglong Central Control Center, staff members hurried about, and the entire hall was bustling with activity.

In the main control center hall, on the giant three-dimensional light screen that occupies the entire main wall, Typhoon Hagasa looks like a huge, endlessly rotating gray-white spiral galaxy. Its eye is so clear it's heart-stopping, and its outer cloud system greedily stretches towards the coastal continent.

A shocking red forecast line, like the scythe of death, points directly at the Pearl River Estuary, with less than forty-eight hours remaining.

"Report the readiness status of each unit!" Commander-in-Chief Wang Lei's voice was steady, penetrating the low-frequency server hum and dense keyboard clatter in the background. He stood in front of the command platform, his posture upright, his eyes piercing, staring intently at every tiny tremor of the Hagasha.

"Data from the Nanhai-1 buoy array confirmed!"

"Drone swarms along the Zhuhai coast are on standby!"

"Ionospheric modulator power boosted to critical point!"

"The computing resource pool is ready, and the Yinglong core load has reached 92%!"

Reports came from each of the control panels.

There are no soldiers in hazmat suits here, only operators in white technical suits. They are magicians of the new era, and their weapons are data streams and energy fields.

After several years, they have digested the meteorological forecasting model submitted by Chen Hui and named it "Yinglong". Now it is the first time that Yinglong has been used for meteorological interference.

They tried to defy nature and reverse the course of the battle in Hagaza!

"Initiate the first phase of the Windcalling Project," Wang Lei ordered, his voice completely calm. "Create a warm-core high-pressure ridge that will last for twelve hours on the southeast side of Hagasha."

With the command given, operations in the control center reached their climax.

"At 18.53°N, 117.20°E, release buoy number one, initiate hydrogen electrolysis combustion, and raise the sea surface temperature by 0.5 degrees Celsius!"

"A swarm of drones takes off and disperses hydrophilic nanoparticles into the lower atmosphere of the target area, promoting localized water vapor condensation and releasing latent heat!"

"Ionospheric modulators focus energy to disturb upper atmospheric circulation with micropulse energy, guiding lower-level airflow to change direction!"

On the light screen, the originally smooth pressure field began to show subtle ripples.

On the southeastern side of the massive circulation around the Hagasa, a tiny blue area representing higher pressure is being painstakingly mapped.

It's like a wedge, trying to pry open the path of this behemoth, the typhoon.

"The humidity field has shown the expected shift!"

"The outward divergence velocity in the core area increased by 0.3 m/s!"

"Model correction... The predicted path for Hagatha is beginning to deviate westward!"

A suppressed cheer rang out in the corner of the control room, but it was immediately replaced by an even more tense silence.

Because on the light screen, the main body of Hagasha seemed to tremble slightly, and its massive cloud system seemed to have a life of its own, instinctively resisting this foreign force that was trying to guide it.

"Report! The typhoon's own feedback mechanism is intensifying core convection, and the central pressure is still dropping! It's resisting our intervention!" a chief analyst warned loudly.

Wang Lei's fingertips moved rapidly across the virtual sandbox on the console, bringing up layers of data.

"Activate the second phase of the contingency plan, reduce the asymmetry of its internal structure, and inject a cold sheath into the cloud wall on the south side of the Hagacha eye wall."

This is a more delicate and dangerous operation.

Several high-altitude Global Hawk drones, like brave assassins, rushed into the designated cloud wall area, braving the turbulent currents at the edge of the storm, and precisely seeded special condensation nuclei that were carefully calculated to promote ice crystal formation rather than water droplet merging.

On the light screen, the purple core region, representing the storm's intensity, began to show subtle unevenness in color. The eyewall convection on the south side seemed to have been pinched, becoming slightly looser. It was this subtle structural change that altered the torque balance within the typhoon.

"The path model has been updated again!" The modeling team leader's voice trembled slightly. "The westward deviation angle has increased by 1.5 degrees! The predicted landfall point... has moved away from the Pearl River Estuary and is pointing towards the coastal area from Yangjiang to Maoming!"

In the control center, the taut string seemed to loosen slightly by a millimeter.

But no one celebrated; everyone's eyes were fixed on the new predicted path and on the screen of light, on which the once-powerful but still destructive figure of Hagaza was now manipulated.

It will still make landfall, and it will still bring strong winds and heavy rain, but for now, it has avoided the mega-city cluster with a population of over 20 million and the economic lifeline of the region.

Wang Lei slowly exhaled, knowing that this was only a victory in one round.

With each swing of its claws, Yinglong was wrestling with the complex climate system on a planetary scale. He looked up at the storm on the screen, whose direction had been slightly reversed, and murmured to himself, "Not enough... We must calculate further."

Outside the window, the night was deep, but inside the Yinglong Control Center, the light never went out. This war to steal the secrets of heaven for humankind and to vie for dominance with the wind and thunder was far from over.

The staff, who had been busy all day, did not leave. They still needed to keep a close eye on Hagasha. The dense data on the big screen kept changing, and they performed real-time calculations based on the real-time monitoring data.

Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere inside the Yinglong Control Center was completely different from what it had been a few hours earlier.

That meticulous, confident busyness was replaced by a gradually spreading anxiety and uncertainty.

On the main light screen, Typhoon Hagasha not only did not deviate from its predetermined new path, but its core rotation speed was also strangely increasing, and the cloud top brightness temperature was continuously decreasing, indicating that its internal energy was rapidly accumulating.

"No! The high-pressure ridge has not formed stably, and the ocean heat transport in the target area has exceeded the extreme values ​​we modeled!" An operator's voice was hoarse.

"Warning! The Hagacha eye wall is being replaced; its structure is not weakening but rather becoming more compact, and its extent is expanding!"

Chief meteorologist Li Lan's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. Her hand, which was gripping the laser pointer, trembled slightly as she pointed to a scarlet path on the screen that had been recalculated and was now closer to the Pearl River Estuary. The path was even wider than before.

"Command, our intervention... seems to have become its fuel. The localized energy we released was efficiently absorbed and reorganized by its circulation system, which in turn strengthened its internal asymmetric coercion, causing it... to become even more violent."

Commander-in-Chief Wang Lei's face was ashen. He growled into the communicator, "Activate the emergency plan! Utilize all backup energy sources! Create a dry zone along its main water vapor pathway! We must kill it with thirst!"

More resources were invested.

Drone swarms ventured deep into the storm's outer periphery to spread more hygroscopic agents, while multiple energy platforms in the South China Sea operated at overcapacity in an attempt to create downdrafts in key atmospheric layers.

However, on the screen, Hagaza resembled an enraged ancient behemoth.

Its massive cloud system suddenly expanded outwards, and new, even more menacing spiral rainbands clearly formed. The central pressure dropped at an alarming rate, indicating that its intensity was climbing to an unprecedented level.

"The energy feedback got out of control, and our intervention parameters resonated unpredictably with the typhoon's own feedback mechanism!"

"The emergency response plan failed, and the dry area was easily bypassed by its newly formed outflow channel!"

"The model...the model has crashed! The Yinglong core is reporting an error and cannot provide a definitive prediction for the next six hours!"

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, a corner of the main light screen turned a glaring red, indicating that a key ocean monitoring node had lost contact and was likely destroyed by the intensifying storm.

A deathly silence descended upon the control center.

Only the servers continue their futile roaring, trying to comprehend the monster they themselves have optimized to be even stronger.

All the experts stood frozen in place, their faces filled with disbelief and a profound sense of powerlessness. Their proud technology and their precise control over the forces of nature seemed so clumsy and ridiculous in the face of this unexpectedly unleashed power of nature.

Commander-in-Chief Wang Lei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with determination. He turned to his deputy, his voice low and clear, carrying an undeniable power:
"We have lost control of Ying Long. Notify Qian Lao to activate the highest emergency protocol."

He paused, then uttered the name that held sway within the center like a pillar of stability, yet was rarely used.

"Go and fetch Professor Chen immediately!"

……

All of this was irrelevant to Chen Hui. He was still working hard on the unified model. At this point, he had temporarily given up thinking about it and instead turned to solving other physics-related problems while improving his physics proficiency.

For others, accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it might depend on luck, but for him, it was an inevitable event.

After months of hard work, his proficiency had undergone a dramatic transformation, and he was now contemplating the possibility of dark matter life.

This is the conclusion he has reached after thinking about it these past few days. As is well known, in the theory of cold dark matter, baryonic matter in the universe, such as humans and everything that humans can come into contact with, is composed of baryonic matter.

While baryonic matter accounts for only 4.9% of the entire universe, dark matter accounts for 26.8% and dark energy accounts for 68.3%.

Therefore, the matter that constitutes human civilization is only a minority in the entire universe, and most of the life-forming matter composed of baryonic matter relies on electromagnetic force.

In other words, everything we see, touch, hear, taste, and smell is essentially a variation of electromagnetic frequency.

Among the four fundamental forces, the electromagnetic force, the strong interaction, and the weak interaction all require a certain field or a certain quantum to transfer energy.

Or to put it another way, this is a force from a low latitude.

Therefore, we, who are composed of such low-dimensional forces, are naturally low-dimensional life forms.

But gravity is not necessary; gravity is an illusion created by New York City in spacetime.

The Earth revolves around the Sun not because the Sun's gravity pulls on the Earth, but because the spacetime around the Sun is distorted, which is why the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Therefore, gravity is a force generated by the distortion of higher-dimensional spacetime. At the same time, dark matter does not participate in electromagnetic force and does not emit photoelectric signals. When it collides with us, it passes directly through us. Because our electromagnetic forces do not affect each other, we cannot perceive them at all.

Lower-dimensional beings are completely unable to perceive higher-dimensional beings.

Therefore, if dark matter, like baryonic matter, could constitute a form of life, then it might depend on gravity just as we depend on electromagnetism. In that case, such life would certainly be higher-dimensional, and they would be closely related to the structure of spacetime...

For a moment, Chen Hui was lost in thought.

dong dong dong...

A rapid knocking sounded at the door, and Dai Yafeng rushed in. "Professor Chen, something's happened..."
