Chapter 40: It's Man-Made

Professor Dou Lishan got up and spoke after the assistant introduced the situation: "Experts, we are all engaged in scientific research, we all know that scientific research has never been easy, failure is an unavoidable fact of science, especially experimental science, and all successes are based on countless failures. We are gathered here today to first observe a moment of silence for the victims of this accident, whose sacrifice will be remembered by future generations, and they will have a share of the medal of success tomorrow. Since the birth of human beings on earth, every advance has paid a heavy price, but our pace of exploration will not stop, and we will reach the peak of infinite scenery by following in the footsteps of our predecessors! Please stand and observe a moment of silence for three minutes! In the solemn mourning, everyone remembered the victims together.

What followed was a lengthy discussion, what exactly caused the nuclear explosion, and the people at the scene discussed a lot, and they were almost as good as the records in the log, and soon divided into two factions, one believed that the helium nucleus participated in the fusion and caused the helium flash, resulting in a concentrated energy explosion. Their reason is that there are so many fusion materials, and the energy that can be produced is at most certain, but deuterium-tritium fusion cannot release so much energy, and it will not have such a large breaking power. The disadvantage is that there is no way to explain the more demanding conditions required for helium flashes, and if they don't have it, how can it happen.

The other school insists that the purity of the materials used to make the vacuum chamber is faulty, and that the inclusion of the fissile element uranium is caused by poor quality. Their reason was that fissile material had been found in the samples brought back by Ling Moyu, and there must have been a problem with the construction of the vacuum chamber. The disadvantage is that the fissile material uranium element should have been discovered earlier, if any, why it was not discovered before, and now it is appearing.

Ling Moyu didn't speak, he looked at the people at the scene arguing with red faces. There is some truth in both sides, but both are flawed and cannot be justified. Although he didn't know why the nuclear explosion occurred, he had a hunch that the accident was man-made, and who caused the disaster. And how did this catastrophe come about? There was no answer to these haunts in his mind.

Listening to the arguments of all parties, he felt a little boring, and inadvertently put his hand in his pocket and touched the talisman, so he took out the piece of jade and played with it, and originally wanted to return it to Huang Weixuan's widow and child, but before he was free, he took it with him. Only now did he take a serious look at the piece of jade, the jade itself was white and flawless, seemed to have a thick grease, translucent, oval shape, and a dragon was engraved on it. A bolt of lightning protruded from the dragon's mouth, striking a thunderbolt in the air, and the dragon's body loomed in the clouds.

It happened that Ling Moyu's position was facing the south window, and a ray of sunlight shone through, shining right on the amulet, Ling Moyu felt as if there was something inside, and he looked at the sunlight as if it was vague and flawed inside.

"Let's ask Dr. Ling Moyu to share his opinion!" General Huo saw that everyone's opinions were very confused, so he proposed to let Ling Moyu talk about it.

Ling Moyu didn't want to say that he didn't have a mature and complete idea, it was very inappropriate to say it, since the general had spoken, he couldn't shirk it, so he said: "Our current fusion technology is still in the early days, and the conditions for the realization of fusion are still very harsh, and the direction of the future development of fusion technology is cold fusion, and nuclear fusion can be achieved without tens of millions of temperatures." Since cold fusion is theoretically possible, it is also possible to achieve low-temperature fusion of helium nuclei under certain conditions. ”

"I've been to the site of a nuclear explosion, and a lot of strange things happened at the site, where the local organisms mutated, and the mutation happened very quickly, far beyond what we generally know about biology. Even the theory of biological evolution is no longer applicable here, so it is possible that the nuclear fusion of the helium yard nucleus at low temperatures will suddenly occur. ”

"The accelerator research center where I work has envisioned using a collider to create tiny black holes and use the pressure of black holes to induce nuclear fusion, but initial results have been achieved." Ling Moyu's speech was over, he didn't draw a direct conclusion, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what he meant.

"But the conditions you said don't exist in the fusion center, if it's really like the situation you said, wouldn't it be easier to use fusion technology in the future?" A middle-aged scientist present asked.

"The induction conditions may exist in the fusion center, but we have not yet discovered that the fusion energy must be broken through, otherwise mankind will soon face the end of the world." Ling Moyu said.

"Are you saying that someone has mastered cold fusion technology and smuggled it into the fusion center to interfere with the experiment and try to sabotage the fusion experiment?" A female scientist asked.

"There is not enough evidence yet, but I believe that a second search of the scene will reveal clues." Ling Moyu said.

"How is it possible, who has the technical ability to manufacture such advanced equipment? The device must be miniaturized in order to be brought into the fusion center and not be detected. Could it be that aliens did it? A young scientist finished causing a burst of laughter from those present.

"A lot of things can't be understood by us, not because of how mysterious they are, but because we haven't found enough evidence and clues, as long as we find it, everything will be solved. Now the priority is to go to the scene and look for clues. Ling Moyu said calmly.

It is a common practice that whenever something incomprehensible comes across, it is the work of aliens! This is also a lazy approach, and everything that can't be explained is left to the aliens, and no one has seen it anyway. Aliens have a hard time arguing, and you can't find aliens to confront anyway. Like God, what people can't understand or can't prove is left to him, the old man, who makes him omnipotent!

Ling Moyu has always only scoffed at the story of the so-called intelligent civilization outside the earth visiting the earth, not to mention the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent beings, assuming that it exists and has science and technology that the earthlings can't match, and can cross the entire sea of stars to come to the earth, is it just to catch a few people to go back to do hybrid experiments?

In film and television works, it is often even more ridiculous that aliens want to occupy the earth and rule over mankind as the highest ideal of extraterrestrial life. The earth is bland and unremarkable in the universe, and the resources possessed by the earth are almost squeezed out by the earthlings themselves, and the incomparably intelligent aliens can only eat the leftovers of the earthlings?

A huge starfleet that spans hundreds of millions of years of time and space to reach the Earth requires more energy than the entire solar system can be quantified!
