Hu Donghai held the tablet in his hand and sat motionless in the laboratory, like an old monk.

He had been sitting like this for more than ten hours, with a pen between his fingers, occasionally writing and drawing on the tablet, and his eyes almost never took off the black ball.

As an old salted fish of the Titan, who is known to have a destiny, Hu Donghai has never had such a moment, his heart beats as if he met his first girlfriend around the corner thirty years ago, and he has not been so excited and shocked for many years. Two hundred years ago, in 1900, two dark clouds over the edifice of physics almost reconstructed the world's perception of the universe, and today, two hundred years later, a black ball has fallen into the complete theoretical physics system.

It is so unbelievable and unreasonably incompatible with existing theories that Liang Jing says that this thing cannot exist - if it does not really exist, one can easily prove that such a sphere cannot exist.

Its mass is exactly equal to the natural constant e, and its diameter is exactly 10 centimeters, if this only represents some kind of incredible manufacturing precision, which is still conceivable and not beyond people's understanding, then its property of absorbing all electromagnetic waves is obviously contrary to the conservation of energy and thermodynamics.

Dabai has determined very accurately that the black ball does not release any thermal radiation to the outside world, and it should be strictly absolute zero in the eyes of people from the outside world, because anything above minus 273.15 degrees Celsius will emit infrared radiation.

Jiang Zi touched the black ball with his hands, but he didn't realize the low temperature of the ball through the thick protective suit, and if he touched it with his bare hands, he would inevitably get frostbite.

Hu Donghai reasoned step by step in his mind, what would happen if a ball continued to absorb electromagnetic waves and thermal radiation from the outside world without scattering?

There is no doubt that its internal energy will continue to increase.

An increase in internal energy means an increase in temperature.

So it can't be absolute zero.

Hu Donghai thought of the mythical Eye of the North Sea, the legend of which is that the Eye of the North Sea is a bottomless hole in the bottom of the sea, as if the gap in the world, the sea water flows out of this gap all the time, and the black ball is a real Eye of the North Sea, which always maintains absolute zero, and the heat is constantly absorbed by it, and then disappears without a trace.

It is the lowest point of energy in the whole universe, it is the floor drain of this world, as long as the life of this universe is long enough, then the energy of the whole universe can even flow into this black ball.

Due to the problem of the communication system, he was unable to communicate with his counterparts on the earth, and the appearance of this black ball was a subversion of the existing theoretical system, and the thermal radiation came from the vibration of the atoms, and it did not radiate externally, which shows that the constituent atoms inside it were actually non-vibrating...... Damn it, why did the communication go wrong at this time?

Hu Donghai's long salted fish career finally ushered in a turning point, the more carefully he studied it, the more he could realize that the black ball is a treasure, there are too many unknown secrets on it, each of which is beyond imagination, this will be the beginning of the next revolution in physics, the two dark clouds at the beginning of the twentieth century revealed the other side of the world for mankind, so what kind of amazing discoveries will this black ball appear in the early twenty-second century?

Hu Donghai is an atheist, otherwise he would really think that this is the favor of the goddess of fate, and at the moment when theoretical physics was about to enter a dead end, they actually discovered the key to God's creation.

As a theoretical physics researcher, Hu Donghai himself has to think that the research of theoretical physics has come to an end, the accelerator can no longer be bigger, and the theoretical research is only playing a mathematical game, Hu Donghai is a staunch verifier, and those who use bells and whistles to describe the crazy flooding behavior is what he disdains, so in his opinion, since the CSHC (China Super Hadron Conllider) shutdown thirty years ago, Theoretical physics in high-energy directions has stopped advancing.

Hu Donghai held the pen in his hand and thought silently.

If there really is a big filter in this world, then the desperately high energy requirements are probably one of them, and if you want to further peek into the secrets of the world, human beings need to make the solar system into a particle accelerator, which is unimaginable in Hu Donghai's view.

But the Black Ball brings hope, it has so many secrets on it, and yet it can be kept in a box for people to study.

"Director." Dabai called out to him.

"Huh?" Hu Donghai didn't move, "What's the matter?" ”

"You haven't lifted a finger for more than two and a half hours, and for the sake of your health, I recommend that you move a little." Dabai said, "I prepared coffee for you." ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Hu Donghai nodded, put down the tablet in his hand, "Dabai, when will the communication system be repaired?" ”

He waited for the communication system to return to normal, and in this day and night, Da Bai's observation and measurement of the black ball accumulated more than a dozen petabytes of data, and as soon as the communication was restored, he would send all the data to the earth, and then all the relevant physicists around the world would be picked up and locked up in the small black room, and no results would be allowed to come out.

In Hu Donghai's eyes, this ball is the bridgehead on the road of future research, which he can't overcome alone, and needs to brainstorm. Hu Donghai is not a top physicist, he is actually more inclined to experiments, not proficient in mathematics, the real theoretical masters are all shrunk in the offices of Princeton Stanford and Tsinghua University of MIT at this time, short-sighted, presbyopic and astigmatism, five meters away can not see the face clearly, but can keenly perceive the truth of the universe.

"The preliminary estimate is that the eruption of the ice volcano smashed the antenna, and the specific damage needs to be further assessed, and it is expected that it can be restored to normal tomorrow." Dabai replied, "In addition, Mr. Stationmaster is repairing the energy cabin, and he also plans to repair the communication system tomorrow." ”

"Is it going well over there?"

"There is good news and bad news."

"What's the good news?"

"Mr. Stationmaster's maintenance work is going very well."

"And what about the bad news?"

"The last one is fake."

Jiang Zi sighed and let go of his hands, he had to admit that he was not as good as Da Bai, and the name of the little prince of video games was not good for him today, and it was really too late.

The Devil's Claw Robot slowly retracted its mechanical arm, and in the past half an hour, it had tried to connect the fallen cable six times, but the final result was only a few paw prints left on the interface, and the damn cable was somehow stuck in the box, and it couldn't be pulled out, and the Devil's Claw Robot was clumsy, Jiang Zi felt that he was manipulating the excavator to perform appendix surgery on people, and the problem was that he was not a graduate of Lanxiang, a century-old school.

"I told you a long time ago, trust my instincts, put your claws in at a different angle, you won't listen." Lou Qi sat on the sofa with the benefit of hindsight, "Failed, right?" ”

Liang Jing came back from helping the cook, took two glasses of water and handed them to them, "What?" The energy capsule hasn't been done yet? ”

"Nope." Jiang Zi shook his head, "The situation is a little more complicated than I thought, and the robot may not be able to handle it." ”

They are using robots to repair the energy cabin, the maintenance robot is nicknamed "Devil's Claw", using a universal walking platform, but its biggest feature is a flexible robotic arm, this robotic arm is more than a meter long, integrated cameras and motors, can undertake a considerable part of the maintenance tasks, in the Cassini station, what can be done by the robot is basically done by the robot, this is for the sake of safety.

The devil's claw robot can be controlled by remote control by Dabai, and Dabai manipulated it to try to repair it twice, all failed, so Jiang Zi patted his chest, he said that when he was a child, he was known as the little prince of video games, and the control of the mechanical arm was as flexible as his arm, like an arm like a finger, anyway, the robot's control system is no different from a video game, not just a joystick and a few buttons.

Next up is the time for the little prince of video games to hit the streets.

Jiang Zi underestimated the difficulty of operation, at this time the outside air was filled with white smoke, which seriously interfered with the robot's vision, Jiang Zi said that this damn fog of war is unruly and never dissipates, and the devil's claw robot is also a veteran like a little bee, the claws of the mechanical arm are loose and loose, the motor is not effective, and it is quite old, and it can still eat, but it can only eat liquid food.
