Chapter 829 Nuclear Winter

Since the beginning of the Cold War and the building of the Berlin Wall, the University of Berlin has never had so many Western scholars come to the University of Berlin, nor has it ever held such an international symposium.

As the host of the conference, Felix stood on the podium and addressed all the participants: "Dear experts, scholars, friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the University of Berlin to participate in this discussion on the post-nuclear war environment. First of all, we would like to invite Paul and John to introduce their theories to us again."

The delegates included not only scientists who were involved in environmental issues, but also diplomatic envoys and officials from various countries, educators, business leaders, foreign policy makers and military leaders. For example, even NATO sent a military attaché to attend the meeting, but of course, the US military was absent.

In fact, the research results of Paul and John have been published in the Swedish magazine "Environment". However, many people present, except for those in the scientific community, are probably not interested in such purely academic issues.

So, when Paul and John presented their research results, many people present fell into deep thought, and this contemplation was accompanied by fear.

In particular, an American scientist present was very clear about this.

Carl Sagan, an astronomer at Cornell University in the United States, has been engaged in space weather research for a long time. As early as 1971, after the American "Mariner 9" space probe entered the orbit of Mars, it sent back photos of Mars covered by dust raised by its storm, which attracted his attention. He tracked and monitored this phenomenon for three consecutive months.

Carl was surprised to find that the dust that rose into the upper atmosphere of Mars absorbed a large amount of sunlight and heated this layer of the atmosphere, while the surface of Mars became dark and unclear with a very low temperature.

At that time, Carl thought deeply about this, and now, when John and the others' report came out, Carl suddenly realized it and blurted out: "Nuclear winter, this means the arrival of nuclear winter!"

Winter is cold, and the dust and smoke produced by nuclear explosions will block the arrival of sunlight, which means the arrival of nuclear winter!

The global temperature is quite sensitive. Even if the world's average temperature drops by one degree, it will have catastrophic consequences!

Nuclear winter! This term came out of Carl's mouth. In history, it was Carl who studied this kind of problem and formally proposed this theory in 1983. But now, Carl has not had time to study these! Because the US economy is extremely depressed, this kind of marginal discipline, which does not generate economic benefits, rarely gets research funding. The US finances are already very poor, and only research like shale oil mining will be put into great efforts.

Therefore, Carl could only teach and educate students honestly in the university. The school didn't even subscribe to his environmental magazine. He had only heard of this theory now, but he reacted immediately!

"Mr. Karl, you are right. After our meticulous research, the final result we got is nuclear winter!" Felix was quite curious. After all, this theory was actually proposed by General Andre and assigned to the University of Berlin as a research topic. At that time, General Andre said that this theory was called the nuclear winter theory!

Felix had great respect for General Andrei. A few years ago, when he took his students to the Far East for an internship, he met General Andrei by chance in a Western restaurant. Unfortunately, one of Felix's students was a Western spy who almost harmed General Andrei. General Andrei had grown from an ordinary pilot to an important figure in the Soviet Union over the years, and he had a wide range of knowledge.

However, Flix did not expect that this American astronomer could actually come up with this term!

Hiding his surprise, Flix continued, "We at the University of Berlin have simulated the entire process using computers. Now, please let us show it to you."

Computer simulation! After hearing Flix's words, countless experts and scholars showed envy on their faces.

Computer simulation! Of course, you need a supercomputer! You have to know that in this era, computers were not as common as in later generations. Even in universities, computer courses were considered new. If you want to use computer simulation, microcomputers are not enough. Generally speaking, only supercomputers can perform simulations.

For example, if you want to make a nuclear bomb, you need to first use a supercomputer to theoretically simulate a nuclear explosion. This can greatly speed up the research process and avoid detours.

It can be said that supercomputers are also strategic weapons and national-level weapons. I never thought that the University of Berlin could apply for the right to use a supercomputer!

The lights in the conference room dimmed, and a high-power CRT projector on the ceiling of the conference room began to gradually brighten, projecting the image onto the screen. At the same time, there was also a commentary. Fortunately, the commentary was in English, the internationally accepted language.

E=mc2 (2 is the square, the upper right corner subscript), Einstein's mass-energy conversion equation means that the inside of the atom contains huge energy. When this energy is released, it is equivalent to opening Pandora's box! The first thing that appears on the screen is this formula, and then Einstein's head portrait. It can be said that Einstein single-handedly promoted the emergence of nuclear bombs. At the same time, in his later years, Einstein blamed himself for the emergence of nuclear bombs.

Now, there are tens of thousands of nuclear weapons in the world, and at the same time, we all live in the shadow of nuclear weapons. Nuclear deterrence is not just deterrence. Under special circumstances, it may turn into a real nuclear war. Therefore, the computer simulation we used this time is to assume the result of the explosion of a nuclear weapon with a mass equivalent of 500 million tons. Of course, this is only a fraction of the number of weapons in the world. If we calculate based on a 500,000-ton equivalent, there are exactly 10,000.

As the commentator spoke, a three-dimensional image of the earth appeared on the screen, and the locations with bright lights represented the distribution of nuclear bombs. It can be seen that almost all of them are concentrated in the northern hemisphere, and Europe is the hardest hit area!

Then, beautiful mushroom clouds bloomed on the screen. However, to the people present, these mushroom clouds were all like devils! They would devour the entire earth!
