Mo Yu went downstairs to ask the teacher.

She opened the door to the lab, entered the isolation room, put on a hazmat suit, and disinfected herself.

"Stationmaster?"

"Huh?" Jiang Zi's voice came from the laboratory, "Is it Moyu?" We're busy, what's going on? ”

Through the glass on the security door, Mo Yu could see four big men standing around.

"Come and see a few of you busy people." She put on her breathing mask and zipped it up.

At the end of the corridor on the first floor, it is the largest laboratory in Cassini Station, which can barely meet the requirements of a biosafety protection level 3 laboratory according to the standards of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

It's a miracle to be able to build a high-level laboratory on Titan, the space in Cassini Station itself is limited, all air and fresh water must be recycled, and the construction requirements of the P3 laboratory are just the opposite of the former, the air emitted by the laboratory must not be circulated, the two are completely contradictory in terms of design requirements, and I don't know how the designers did it, but they finally did it, put these two things together, and built it on Titan.

Despite its lofty, the P3 lab is rarely used because of its strict and cumbersome standards and procedures, and normal people are reluctant to stand in the lab for two hours in a sack-like airtight protective suit, and it is doubtful that the lab will really be able to play its role on Titan - does it really need to face research samples like Ebola and SARS?

"What are you doing...... What is this? ”

When Mo Yu entered the door, he saw the black ball in the glove box at first glance.

Four men stood around in silence.

Lou Qi searched for a long time before he found a word to describe it.

“BUG。”

"BUGS IN THIS UNIVERSE."

A black ball with a mass of e and a circumference of π is either a bug in the universe or a ruler used by God at the creation of the world.

Mo Yu leaned against the cabinet and stared at the black ball for a long time.

"You know what came to mind?"

"What?" Liang Jing asked.

"2001: A Space Odyssey, the famous black obeligor." "If we touch this black ball, will the life form be sublimated?" ”

"Jiang Zi has already touched it." Liang Jing replied, "Do you see him sublimated?" ”

Mo Yu looked Jiang Zi up and down and shook his head.

"It's still a South African gorilla, not only has it not evolved, it may have degenerated."

Five people stood in silence in the lab, the ventilation system humming slightly.

They are thinking, and their brains are spinning rapidly.

Everyone present was watching the black ball and making their own judgment.

"I don't understand that." Mo Yu crossed his arms, "Whether it's kilograms or centimeters, these units are artificially defined by us...... Big white, what is the definition of kilograms you use? ”

"According to the accreditation standards of the International Conference on Weights and Measures, Planck's constant and Avogadro's constant are used as benchmarks." Dabai replied, "In terms of physical definition, when Planck's constant is 6.62607015×10∧-34J·s, the mass of one kilogram is determined by a 28-spherical kilogram original of pure silicon. ”

"Then the mass of this black ball is exactly e times that of this result, and its diameter is exactly 10 times the centimeter as defined by humans." Mo Yu nodded, "Is this possible?" Could it be that there are other places besides us that also use units such as kilograms and meters? And the definition is exactly the same as ours? ”

"It can't be." Liang Jing said, "But the facts are already in front of your eyes. ”

"So it's definitely a man-made object."

Acquiesced assertions.

"But humans certainly can't build a standard sphere with a mass of e kilograms and a diameter of 10 centimeters." "It's a real standard sphere, much more standard than all the spheres we've ever built in history, and to the limit of our measurement capabilities, it's all ten centimeters in diameter, which means that if we zoom in to the size of the Earth's Sun or even the Oort cloud, the difference between the highest point and the lowest point on its surface is still zero." ”

No wonder Lou Qi said that this thing is a bug.

It is so accurate that it is impossible for nature to come into being spontaneously, and if the universe is a system designed by someone, then the ball is undoubtedly a bug or a compilation tool.

"So the surface should be absolutely smooth." "What is its molecular structure?" ”

"That's our second point next." Hu Donghai exchanged glances with the other three, "We don't know." ”

Mo Yu was taken aback.

"How could you not know?"

Hu Donghai didn't answer, Lou Qi and Jiang Zi pushed the scanning electron microscope next to them, and the probe entered the vacuum glove box, slowly descending to touch the surface of the black ball.

Mo Yu looked at the monitor of the electron microscope, and the screen was pitch black.

At first, she thought it was because the power was not turned on, and she subconsciously wanted to poke the button, but then she saw the parameters changing on the screen - the scanning electron microscope was working normally, and the magnification had exceeded 600,000 times.

Mo Yu has seen normal scanning electron microscope images, 600,000 times magnification resolution accuracy can be as low as sub-nanometer, the electron microscope in the laboratory is generally used to analyze the surface structure of mineral crystals, in the words of the laboratory director Hu Donghai, with this electron microscope to shoot E. coli, you can judge what E. coli is talking about at night by their mouth shape.

The result of the shooting should be a hilly area with heavy mountains and potholes, or dry concrete that has been trampled by the crowd, no matter how neat and smooth the object is macroscopic, it is miserable on the microscopic, just like the face of a peerless beauty is enlarged and full of pores, in Muyu's cognition, even the smoothest glass and metal in the world, as long as the magnification is large enough, they will still become rough sandpaper.

Of course, she is also mentally prepared for another kind of mental preparation, this black ball may really be an object completely beyond her cognition, magnified more than 600,000 times and still smooth as a mirror.

But the end result was unexpected.

The microscope simply went black.

No matter how you debug, it's a black screen.

"Glitch?" Asked silently.

"There are no glitches." Hu Donghai shook his head, "The microscope is working normally, we have checked, no matter how you shoot, no matter how you zoom in, even if you zoom in to a million times, it will be a black screen." ”

"Why is this happening?"

Several men glanced at each other, Hu Donghai's eyes were very solemn, Liang Jing's eyes were very frightened, Lou Qi's eyes were very surprised, and Jiang Zi was very dazed.

"Because we can't observe it." Hu Donghai hesitated for a moment, "From a certain point of view, ......"

He paused.

"It doesn't exist."
