Chapter 11: Opportunity or Disaster
In the expectant gaze, the slightly blurry image was finally fully revealed, with a starlight in the background, not a star light years away.
In the center of the photograph is a large spherical planet, Europa, and of course, the main focus is not on Europa, but on a small black spherical object next to it. This object is nearly 10,000 times smaller than Europa, but it is what everyone needs.
"Can you zoom in on that area?" Li Ping asked Professor Ma.
Professor Ma didn't answer, he directly typed on the keyboard on the computer, a command was entered, and the mysterious thing on the picture was magnified, and people could finally see its true face.
The black spherical object, the main body is black, and there are many dazzling points of light in the middle, as if a spherical obsidian is set with a lot of diamonds, beautiful and attractive.
"That's right, this should be a wormhole, a wormhole with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters." Liu Xuan's voice trembled, and the hair on his head was forced to pull off a few strands.
The wormhole was hypothesized by Einstein and Rosen in the study of the gravitational field equation thousands of years ago, so it is also known as the Einstein Rosen Bridge, and the theory at that time was that the wormhole was produced with a black hole, and the wormhole was a channel connecting the black hole and the white hole. Later, it was discovered that wormholes can appear on their own, that is, there is not necessarily a black hole next to the wormhole.
The whole research room was quiet and terrifying, and everyone was amazed, carefully admiring this beautiful thing that only existed in books. Since the wormhole was proposed in the 1930s, almost all astronomers have been obsessed with it and have tried every means to find its existence. However, they were exhausted and could not find the true face of the wormhole, and now, thousands of years later, people finally saw the existence of the wormhole.
In the early days, people wanted to travel through the starry universe through wormholes, but due to the harsh technology and generation conditions, this wormhole was just something that existed in hypothesis. Now, they have finally found the real wormhole, and it is still in the solar system.
"God, is this the end of humanity or an opportunity for humanity?" Li Ping said to herself next to her.
After Liu Xuan said that, he continued to rub his hair, and the speed was even faster, and the dandruff on his head made him get out and fell to the ground. None of this has been noticed. They were thinking about whether to be Columbus, who discovered the New World, or Satan, who destroyed the world.
The emergence of wormholes is undoubtedly an opportunity, an opportunity for humanity to go further. The solar system has already been explored by humans, and because of the aero engine, humans can only stop there, and now, the wormhole next to Europa is the perfect opportunity for humans to greet the universe.
However, this also created conditions for alien civilizations to invade the earth, in the eyes of humans on the earth, their weapons and equipment are already at the top level, but in the eyes of extraterrestrial highly intelligent life forms, human weapons are just children's household props.
Not to mention the threat from extraterrestrials, in terms of ethics, there is also a big problem, are those humans who enter another universe through wormholes still real humans?
None of this is known, and with the protection of the earth, we know the charm and beauty of the starry sky. Without the protection of the earth, human beings can only feel the cruelty of the starry sky when they enter the universe.
"What the hell are we going to do?" Professor Ma said this sentence tremblingly.
"Whew!"
Li Ping exhaled deeply and said: "These are not things we have to think about, according to the inference, at least enough antimatter is needed to pass through the wormhole, at present, according to our antimatter production rate, we can't create enough antimatter in 10,000 years, unless we can improve the extraction methods of antimaterials." ”
"These are all things for our children and grandchildren to worry about, so let's do what we have to do first." Professor Ma also wanted to open it.
"If the wormhole is a high-dimensional universe, then that message should be a reminder from someone in the future. Traveling through time and space through five dimensions, or even higher dimensions, is really a time-traveling information. Liu Xuan said with a sigh.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Liu Xuan's statement, if it is really a wormhole, the source of this news can only be the future.
"Interpret the treaty and value the speed of light."
Liu Xuan said silently, thinking quickly in his mind, these eight words were obviously sent to them by future human beings, don't underestimate the news with only eight words, flying at the speed of light from the future, I don't know how much energy will be lost in the middle, future human beings want to remind a few more words, but the energy is limited, based on the actual situation, they can only send these eight words.
Eight words, two sentences, the meaning is clear, the previous sentence reminds mankind to analyze the treaty, it seems that this treaty is very important. The latter sentence is to pay attention to the speed of light, it seems that the people of the future need the lightspeed spaceship to rescue them at that time, they may have ignored this aspect in the past, and in their time, it was very urgent, so they tried to send a message in a vain attempt to change the past.
Liu Xuan shook his head, and lamented helplessly in his heart, time can be stretched or shortened, but it can't be changed, everything is a fixed number in the dark, even if you can travel through time and go back to the past, you can't change the fait accompli of the future. Liu Xuan believes that this reminder from the future is fundamentally useless.
The human who sent the message must have received it earlier, but the future is still happening, and all this fundamentally cannot be changed.
"I'm going to report to the higher authorities, and I guess we'll be summoned directly by the Earth Council." Li Ping stood up, tidied up her clothes, and said with a somewhat sloppy look in her eyes. After that, I wanted to go back to the office.
Liu Xuan looked at Li Ping's back, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.
"Now, let's do what we can, analyze the three agreements and work on a new space engine." Standing in front of the door of the office, Li Ping said one last word, and entered the office without waiting for everyone's answer. She had to carefully report the matter to her superiors with careful language.
It is also ridiculous to say that the major events of the entire human society require a few people to make the final decision, and ordinary people do not even know about the great changes that have taken place in space.
The crowd next to the observer also looked at each other and dispersed, they had witnessed a miracle today, but they were not sure whether this miracle was the glory of mankind or the end of the world.
Liu Xuan also returned to his place with Professor Ma and began to discuss the preparation of a new type of space engine.
Compared to the ancient universe, the earth is still in its infancy. Now the baby walked in front of the abyss, there are two bridges above the abyss, connecting different roads, no one is sure how strong the bridge is, no one is sure of the end of the road ahead, no one is sure of the specific scene under the abyss, the baby probes his brain, trying to figure out what is inside the abyss, but as everyone knows, when you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.
The fate of the baby of the earth has once again come to a fork in the road, and many times, mankind has chosen the right path. However, this time the situation is different, once you choose the wrong one, you will fall into the abyss, be crushed, and there will be no return.
