Chapter 656: Extra 7

The moment Su Yun's name was uttered, the air seemed to freeze for three seconds.
All eyes were fixed on him, filled with scrutiny, curiosity, and a hint of disdain.
Everyone was waiting to see this "crown prince" make a fool of himself, or to see how he would use his power to intimidate others.
"The report you just gave was quite interesting."
Su Yun ignored the strange looks around him. He simply spoke calmly, his voice clear and bright,
"If I had to offer some commentary, I think... the 'independence' issues encountered by the CSS project and the LUCID project are actually fatally related."
This statement caused a huge stir!
The meeting room instantly erupted in commotion.
What kind of logic is this?
These two projects, one working on ice underground, the other on the atmosphere in the sky, are completely unrelated. What could they possibly have in common?
The CSS project manager frowned, his tone unfriendly: "Do you want to hear what nonsense you're spouting?"
Su Yun ignored the skepticism. His brain had already completed the logical construction; now it only needed to output the result.
“CSS aims to control the geothermal flux beneath the Arctic ice cap.
But in your pursuit of extremely rapid cooling, you introduced a superconducting quantum interference structure into a large-scale bismuth telluride array.
You only saw the cooling efficiency, but ignored the consequences when megaampere-level currents flow in a closed loop within the shallow crust.”
“Current?” The CSS head was taken aback. “So what?”
“It’s the induced magnetic field generated by the circumferential current, and in a singularity like the Arctic where magnetic field lines converge perpendicularly!
In other words, you’ve created a giant electromagnet!
Although it’s very weak compared to the Earth’s core magnetic field, it’s enough to form a ‘geomagnetic distortion lens.’”
Su Yun’s voice suddenly became stern.
“If it continues to operate, the magnetic field lines shooting into space will be forcibly twisted and knotted.
In other words—you’ve artificially torn a hole in the Earth’s magnetic shield!”
Whispers rippled through the room. Several senior experts’ expressions changed, as if they had realized something.
“This…this is only a theoretical possibility…” The CSS head began to sweat.
"Theory?" Su Yun's eyes sharpened, his aura imposing.
"Recently, some low-orbit satellites have experienced unexplained attitude control issues or inexplicable power losses, right?"
"This…" The CSS head was stunned.
A deathly silence fell over the room.
This wasn't just speculation; it was concrete evidence!
They had indeed lost contact with two satellites recently, and the cause remained unknown.
This was a classified malfunction that hadn't been made public yet!
"Perhaps it's due to a failure in the satellite's electronic shielding layer…"
"No." Su Yun interrupted directly.
"A simple magnetic field distortion would at most cause a compass to malfunction.
But the problem is, the LUCID project, at this very moment, also pulled off a major blunder."
Tian Ming, the head of the LUCID project, suddenly stood up: "What did you say? What does this have to do with us?"
"The aerosol plasma you deployed created a high-conductivity channel in the upper-level jet stream.
CSS below distorted the magnetic field lines, while LUCID above altered the ionospheric potential."
"According to the magnetohydrodynamic equations, these two will resonate, causing 'Alfvén waves' to oscillate wildly in near-Earth space!"
Su Yun turned to the man, his eyes sharp as knives.
"This causes GNSS navigation signals to experience not only delays but also violent 'phase flicker' when passing through the ionosphere.
This isn't a 1-centimeter error; it's a systemic 'signal lockout'!
The entire global satellite navigation system will be completely paralyzed because it can't calculate the correct coordinates! It will all become blind!"
As Su Yun spoke, he walked straight to the podium, picked up a marker, and wrote a series of complex derivations on the whiteboard with fluid strokes.
Those complex symbols and numbers, under his pen, moved like obedient soldiers, quickly forming a chilling conclusion.
Everyone present, initially mocking and disdainful, gradually turned to shock, stunned silence, and finally, deep fear.
"If this derivation holds true..."
"This isn't just a project failure...this is practically creating a global catastrophe!"
"Yes. The magnetosphere is collapsing, and the solar wind will pour in."
Su Yun stopped writing, turned around, and stared intently at the audience.
"In about three days, a stream of high-energy particles will breach the atmosphere above the equator.
We will see blood-red auroras in the night skies of Singapore or Brazil.
That's not a beautiful sight; it's the first cry of despair from Earth as its magnetic field is stripped away!"
Boom!
These words struck like a hammer blow to everyone's hearts.
Blood-red auroras, appearing at the equator?
This is practically an apocalyptic phenomenon!
The entire lecture hall was deathly silent.
Everyone was stunned by this deduction.
They had come expecting to see the Crown Prince humiliated, but instead witnessed an academic crushing defeat worthy of being recorded in history!
Two seemingly unrelated projects, through the young man's effortless deduction, had formed a perfectly closed loop capable of destroying the world!
Zhou Yi's mouth gaped open, all the sarcastic remarks he had prepared stuck in his throat.
He looked at the confident, almost godlike young man on the stage, and felt a chill run down his spine.
Is this a spoiled brat?
Is this a manufactured genius?
Damn it, what kind of powerful family could raise such a monstrous, otherworldly monster?!
After a brief silence, Zhou Yi snapped out of his daze, glaring at the two project leaders, his voice booming:
"What are you two idiots standing there for?!"
"Huh? Ah! Director..."
"Isn't this your project? Get back to your seats and do the simulations right now!
If it's really like he says, we're using trillions of dollars for a plan to destroy the Earth!
You two bastards are first-class war criminals who will destroy the world! Get out of here now?!"
"Yes! Yes! Right now!"
The elites of the two teams scrambled out of the lecture hall like their pants were on fire, their previous arrogance completely gone.
Zhou Yi, panting heavily, slowly turned his head, looking at the young man who had silently returned to his seat and closed his eyes again to "rest."
This was the parachuted-in recruit he considered a "royal relative," someone "good for nothing except being born into wealth."
Having only listened to one report, he saw through everything within minutes, effortlessly resolving two top-tier problems that had plagued the Gaia base for a long time!
He had initially thought this was just a pretty face, a figurehead trying to gain prestige for the throne.
He thought this was just a spendthrift son living off his father's fame.
Zhou Yi looked at Su Yun, his lips twitching involuntarily, before he forced a bitter smile that was more like a grimace.
To hell with being a pretty face!
This was clearly a Tyrannosaurus Rex that had barged into a china shop!
Just as ferocious as his father!
No! Even more powerful than his father!
