Chapter 143: Spatial Interaction
Through the description in Rodriguez's documents, Zhao Lan probably knew the interaction between the strange space and the earth at this moment. Perhaps because of the gravitational pull of the Earth or some other special reason, the team of scientists led by Rodriguez did not observe the change of geometric values on the Earth and in the Earth's near-Earth space, that is, the space in which the Earth is located is normal. But that strange space has almost enveloped the entire earth inside itself, and it is unknown how far the exterior has extended. In other words, the size of the area of influence of this strange space cannot be determined for the time being.
However, at this moment, even the farthest probes from the Earth equipped to observe distant objects have also observed the anomalous disappearance of distant objects, which is enough to prove that the entire space of the solar system within Pluto's orbit has been affected.
However, the impact of this singular space on the space of the solar system cannot be understood simply by the concepts of "filling" or "occupying". Scientists need to build extremely complex mathematical models to describe this.
The 105 Research Institute and the team of scientists at the base led by Li Yunfan belong to two independent research teams. The 105 Research Institute, which belongs to the government forces, knows about the abnormal disappearance of the stars from the perspective of the earth, but they don't know about the existence of that strange space, and the team of scientists at the base belonging to Li Yunfan knows about the existence of the strange space, and has carried out quite detailed and in-depth research on it, but maybe because of negligence, or maybe because there is no corresponding observation force arranged around the earth, they found that those stars disappeared, but they did not find that more and more stars are disappearing, And the distance between the earth and the earth is getting closer and closer.
If these two aspects of intelligence can be combined, then the truth of the matter is about to come out. And now, Zhao Lan acts as a bridge between the two teams of scientists. Zhao Lan is a member of the 105 Research Institute, which has access to the latest research results at the government level, and because of Li Yunfan's authorization, he has access to the research information of the base's team of scientists.
Zhao Lan closed the document in his hand, then closed his eyes and thought for a while.
Zhao Lan can basically be sure of the authenticity of the information in his hand, but ...... Zhao Lan is always 100% sure. Zhao Lan has the rigorous thinking that a scientist should have. This rigorous thinking told Zhao Lan that anyone's description could not be trusted until he saw the observational data with his own eyes. So Zhao Lan must find a way to verify this matter.
Zhao Lan pressed the alarm bell, and Rodriguez walked into the office. Then he asked Zhao Lan, "Miss Zhao Lan, have you finished reading this information?" ”
Zhao Lan nodded: "I've finished reading the information...... I would like to ask you, can I take this information with me within my authority? Or...... Tell someone about it? ”
This information is so important if it can be brought to the 105 Institute. Or if Zhao Lan relays these information, then the dilemma faced by the 105 Research Institute will be solved. The 105 Research Institute naturally has the power to verify all this, and if all this can be verified, then the truth of the matter will be revealed to the world, and human civilization can focus its energy on finding solutions to problems, instead of continuing to dwell on "what happened" and continue to waste time.
This is an extremely important event for the entire human civilization, and in the end, Zhao Lan will publish this information anyway, but if he can get Rodriguez's authorization, he will undoubtedly reduce a lot of trouble. It's the best of both worlds. Zhao Lan didn't want to be threatened by such a powerful underground force in his future life.
Rodriguez thought for a moment, then replied, "I don't have the authority to accede or refuse your request. This requires you to go and talk to your boss in person. Whether this information can be leaked in the end depends on the boss's intentions. ”
Zhao Lan thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Okay, I'll personally ask your boss for this matter." But...... There's one thing I think I can probably tell you is that this should be considered an oversight on your part, you could have found out, but you don't seem to have found out. ”
Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"About the anomalous disappearance of distant celestial bodies." Zhao Lan replied. "It's not as simple as you think. According to current observations...... We have confirmed that more than 1,000 distant stars have disappeared from human view, and this number is still increasing rapidly. Moreover, the distance between those anomalously disappearing celestial bodies and the Earth is getting closer and closer. Mr. Rodriguez, I think, you can probably understand what that means. ”
Rodriguez thought for a moment, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Miss Zhao Lan...... Is it really like what you say? This...... This thing is too serious, and it means the earth. No, it is possible that the curvature of the entire solar system is increasing, and we are constantly "sinking", and eventually our solar system, or the earth, may break away from this universe and eventually fall into a space that is completely unfamiliar to us. ”
Rodriguez wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then smiled bitterly: "The government seems to have stepped up reconnaissance of our base recently, and the boss doesn't know where to go, so our actions have been much more restrained recently, and we haven't even conducted a large-scale sky survey observation." I really didn't expect such a big thing to happen during the time we were dormant. Miss Zhao Lan, thank you for telling us about this. I immediately organized a human investigation into this matter and carried out subsequent calculations. ”
Zhao Lan said: "Mr. Rodriguez, you should know my identity, I work for the 105 Research Institute affiliated to the government, and the 105 Research Institute is the institution that conducts research on the anomalous disappearance of this distant celestial body, and you also know what this matter means, so I want to tell the government this information, and use the power of the government to study this matter, so as to seek a way to prevent all of us from humanity and our earth from falling into a crisis." ”
After all, the government's scientific research strength is much stronger than the scientific research strength in this base, and the reason why the government has not discovered the strange space, or the reason why this base can discover the strange space, is entirely because Li Yunfan is lucky, and he happened to pass through the strange space at the right time, which does not mean that the government's scientific research strength is not comparable to here. In the face of this crisis, which may affect all of humanity, Zhao Lan has always trusted the power of the government.
If there is an institution that can turn the tide and save the earth and human civilization from the crisis, then this institution can only be the government that represents the entire human civilization and can mobilize the resources of the entire human civilization, and it will definitely not be some other institutions or organizations.
In the face of Zhao Lan's inquiry, Rodriguez thought for a moment again, and then replied: "Disclosing these materials may lead to the leakage of information related to our base. As you know, the presence of our base is a bit sensitive to the government, and this matter is really outside my purview. You should ask your boss directly. For such a thing, only the boss can make a decision. ”
"Well, I'll ask your boss." Zhao Lan sighed, "Okay, I've obtained the information I want, I'm not interested in other things in your base, and I don't want to explore it, so now ...... Can I get out of here? ”
Rodriguez immediately said: "Miss Zhao Lan, you are a distinguished guest with A-level permissions, of course you have the right to decide your own itinerary, how can our base restrict your freedom?" If you want to leave, I'll arrange for someone to take you out. ”
"Okay, please send me to Hope City, and I'll take care of the rest myself." Zhao Lan said.
Hope City is the city that Zhao Lan arrived in before coming to this base. This is a stretch of lofty mountains, and if there is no suitable means of transportation, Zhao Lan really has no way to return to Hope City by himself.
So Zhao Lan returned to Hope City about an hour later, and after saying goodbye to the people who sent him here, looking at the bustling flow of people in Hope City, feeling the power of civilization and technology, Zhao Lan had a feeling of being reincarnated.
Zhao Lan turned around and projected his gaze into the distance again. From here, the shadows of the mountains in the distance could be vaguely seen, and if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Zhao Lan would never have believed that there was such a huge base in the depths of the mountains in a place that the human government had not noticed.
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart about the secret base, especially the fully enclosed rectangular building in the secret base, Zhao Lan took out the communication instrument he was carrying, and then said, "Li Yunfan...... There's one thing I need your consent for. I've found the information I'm looking for in your base, so now I'd like to ask you, can I tell the scientists at Research Institute 105? ”
After saying this, Zhao Lan put away the communication equipment. Zhao Lan knew that this signal would first be transmitted to his own spaceship moored in the Earth Harbor, and then sent by his spaceship to Li Yunfan in that strange universe. (To be continued.) )
