Chapter 51: The Movie (16)
"The result?" asked the blue cat in a faint voice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"It has been conclusively proven that there is no solution to the three-body problem. "The voice of the scientific advisor is still so resolute.
The blue cat looked at the pendulum and stood speechless.
History continues to move forward, but it has come to the original point.
"As we have long predicted, the three-body problem is a chaotic system that will infinitely amplify small perturbations, and its operation laws are mathematically unpredictable. The scientific advisor explained.
The blue cat looked a little worried, pulled the hair in front of his forehead, and said, "If even an extremely simple system like the three-body problem is in unpredictable chaos, then how can we have confidence in exploring the laws of the complex universe?"
"God is a shameless old gambler, he has abandoned us!" Einstein came over at some point, took the blue cat's words, brandished his violin, and was still so childish.
The Secretary-General looked very agreeable, nodded and said: "Yes, God is a gambler, and the only hope for the three-body civilization is to gamble." β
The great moon rose again, and the pendulum reflected each other, releasing a strange light.
"When you talk about civilization, it seems that this civilization has developed to a considerable level. The blue cat's voice raised slightly.
"Yes, mastered nuclear energy, to the information age. The secretary general said discouragedly, not proud, even very contemptuous.
"Then there is the hope that civilization will continue to develop and reach another level, and although it cannot know the laws of the sun's movement, it will be able to survive in the chaotic era, and it will be able to withstand the devastating catastrophes caused by the abnormal movement of the sun in the past. The blue cat's voice raised a little more.
People used to think like this, which is also one of the driving forces for the tenacious regeneration of the three-body civilization, but it makes us realize how naΓ―ve this idea is. The secretary general stretched out his hand, and the whole person looked at the big moon, and said: "You may see this huge moon for the first time, in fact, it is almost a quarter the size of our planet, it is no longer a moon, but a companion star of this planet, it is the product of a great tear." β
"Big tear?" the blue cat's voice dropped to freezing all of a sudden.
The Secretary-General explained: "The catastrophe that destroyed the last round of civilization. In fact, compared with previous civilizations, the early warning period for this disaster is still quite long. Surviving records show that astronomers of Civilization 191 observed 'flying stars not moving' very early on. β
"At that time, three flying stars were stationary at the same time. The people of Civilization 191 stood on the ground and looked helplessly at the three flying stars hovering in the sky, at the three suns that were rushing towards their world. β
A few days later, at a visible distance from one sun to the outer atmosphere, in the quiet night sky, the flying star suddenly changed into a brilliant sun, and at intervals of more than thirty hours, the other two suns also appeared. This is not a 'three-day volley' in the ordinary sense of the word, when the last flying star becomes the sun, the first visible sun has passed the planet from an extremely close distance, and then the other two suns have passed closer one after the other!"
"The tidal forces produced by the three suns in their rows all exceed the Loch limit (Note: The French astronomer Loch proved that any solid object that approaches another object much larger than it will be torn to pieces by strong tidal forces. The distance at which this smaller celestial body is crushed is called the Loch limit. Usually 2.44 times the equatorial radius of a large celestial body) The first sun shook the deepest geological structure of the planet, the second sun tore a large crack in the planet that went straight to the core, and the third sun tore the planet in half. β
"This is the smaller half, with the ruins of Civilization 191 on it, but it's a lifeless world. β
"It was the most thrilling disaster in the entire history of the Three-Body World, when the planets were torn apart, the irregularly shaped two parts re-became spherical under their own gravity, the hot and dense planetary core material poured to the ground, the ocean boiled on the magma, the continents floated like melting drift ice, after they collided, the earth became as soft as the ocean, and the huge mountains of tens of thousands of meters could rise in an hour and disappear in the same short time. β
"For a period of time, the two parts of the planet that were torn apart were disconnected, and between them there was a river of magma that crossed space, and these magma cooled in space, forming a ring around the planet, but due to the gravitational disturbance of the two parts of the planet, the ring was unstable, and the rocks that composed it fell one after another, leaving the world in a centuries-long meteorite shower...... Can you imagine what hell it was!"
"The destruction of the ecosphere by this disaster is the most serious in all history, life on the companion star has become extinct, and the mother star has almost become a lifeless world, but the seeds of life have actually germinated here again, with the stabilization of the geological state of the parent star, in the unrecognizable continents and oceans, evolution has begun to falter again, until the one hundred and ninety-second appearance of civilization, this process, took 90 million years. β
"The universe in which the three-body world is located is even colder than we imagined. What will happen next time the star does not move? There is a good chance that our planet will no longer pass by the edge of the sun, but will plunge headlong into the sun's fire. Over time, this possibility is almost inevitable. β
"This would have been just a terrible speculation, but a recent astronomical discovery has made us completely hopeless about the fate of the three-body world. β
"This study aims to infer the history of star and planet formation in the galaxy through some residual signs in this galaxy. β
"I accidentally discovered that there were twelve planets in the three-body galaxy a distant time ago! And now there is only one of us, and there is only one explanation: in the long astronomical epoch, those eleven planets were swallowed by three suns! Our world is nothing but a remnant of this cosmic hunt, and it is just a kind of luck that civilization can be reborn after one hundred and ninety-two reincarnations. β
"Through further research, we also discovered the phenomenon of respiration in these three stars. β
"Stellar breathing?" the blue cat was a little puzzled.
"It's just a metaphor that you discover the outer gaseous layer of the star, but what you don't know is that this gaseous layer expands and contracts incessantly in a long period, like breathing," the secretary general explained. When the gaseous layer expands, its thickness can increase by more than ten times, which makes the diameter of the star greatly increased, like a giant palm, making it easier to capture the planet. β
"When a planet rubs against the Sun at close range, it enters its gaseous layer, slows down sharply in violent friction, and finally falls into the Sun's sea of fire like a meteor with a long tail of fire. According to research, in the long history of the three-body galaxy, every time the solar atmosphere expands, it will swallow one or two planets, and the eleven planets fall into the sea of fire one after another when the solar gas layer expands to its maximum. β
