Chapter 150: The General Assembly (Part 3)
After confirming the matter of sharing research materials, Zhao Lan continued to ask: "Li Yunfan...... Based on your current wisdom and the existing known conditions, what do you think can be done to put an end to this crisis? ”
"If I had to speculate, then I think the key to ending this crisis is undoubtedly energy." Li Yunfan said without hesitation, "I don't think the outbreak of Haishan II is unrelated to the emergence of this Star Calamity. It is highly likely that the explosive energy of Seamount II eventually led to the emergence of this crisis. This means that energy can have an impact on space, although we don't yet know what the specific mechanism of interaction between space and energy is. But as long as energy can have an effect on space, since the burst energy of Seamount II can make space fall, then theoretically there must be another type and intensity of energy to restore space to normal. ”
"That energy must be huge. It is clear that the energy of the explosion level of the hydrogen bomb is not enough. Zhao Lan said in a low voice.
It has been hundreds of years since the invention of the hydrogen bomb, but it is still the most powerful weapon in human civilization. And the energy of the hydrogen bomb cannot be compared with the explosive energy of the entire solar system, which is also the eruption energy of Seamount II, which caused the star disaster. These two are not at all an order of magnitude.
In a relaxed sense, there is no upper yield limit for hydrogen bombs, and hydrogen bombs with a yield of 100 million tons or 1 billion tons can be built. In this respect, as long as the yield of the hydrogen bomb is large enough, human beings can grasp a high enough energy, but this is not the case.
The hydrogen bomb releases energy through nuclear fusion, and in this respect, the sun is actually just a large hydrogen bomb, but the sun's nuclear fusion fuel does not release all the energy in a short period of time, and it will slowly bend this process for nearly 10 billion years. The hydrogen bomb, which is too large in yield, also faces this problem. If the equivalent is too large, it will not be able to release all the energy in a short period of time, but will start a slow burning process similar to that of the sun. That's the case. A hydrogen bomb that is too large loses its relevance.
Regarding Zhao Lan's words, Li Yunfan agreed: "It's true, the energy level of the hydrogen bomb explosion is really not enough. But that doesn't mean we're dead. Although I am conceited and intelligent, I dare not use my wisdom alone to match the wisdom of all the scientists of all mankind. We can't think of a way right now. It doesn't mean that others can't find a way. Maybe we'll find out that we don't need that much energy to solve the problem. ”
"I hope so." Zhao Lan's mood was a little low: "I'm going to return to Base 105 as soon as possible, and then release this information to the others." The sooner human civilization pays attention to this matter, the sooner we analyze and study this matter, the greater our hope of victory. ”
The measurement has ended, and Zhao Lan has also obtained the information and data he wants. There is no point in staying here anymore. So Zhao Lan set the course of the Sylvia spacecraft and began to set off for the 105 Research Institute. It took about a day for the spaceship to complete this voyage, so Zhao Lan took advantage of this time to take a good rest. By the time Zhao Lan had finished packing everything up and his mental and physical strength had recovered again, the spaceship had already arrived in front of the port of the 105 Research Institute.
It was the morning of the 105 Institute. Now when I go back, it's time to get to work.
After going through the procedures for canceling the leave with Zhang Hong, the person in charge of the research institute, Zhao Lan took out the materials he had prepared long ago and handed them to Zhang Hong: "Director Zhang, during my vacation...... By chance, I discovered something. I think, if nothing else, I've probably discovered the real cause of the anomalous disappearance of the stars. ”
Zhang Hong's expression tightened, he took the information from Zhao Lan's hand, and then quickly browsed it. It took Zhang Hong about half an hour to read this information, and then it took about half an hour to think. Zhao Lan has been waiting here quietly.
"All the information and data on this...... Have you verified everything? Zhang Hong asked.
Zhao Lan nodded: "I have already verified it within the scope of my ability." My conclusion is that everything described in this information is correct. Of course, it would be better if the power of the institute could be used to verify these data with more sophisticated instruments and more powerful computing power. After all, this is a major event that concerns all of us. We can't afford to be negligent. ”
Zhang Hong put this information on the table, then stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the dark starry sky outside the window. Speechless for a long time. In the middle of the ring, Zhang Hongcai said, "Zhao Lan, do you know...... In just a few days of your vacation, the number of anomalous vanishing objects has risen from less than a thousand to more than 100,000. The closest anomaly to Earth is less than 100 million light-years away. ”
"During this time, there has been no progress in the study of this phenomenon in our institute, but every one of us knows it. The progress of the disaster is accelerating. Each and every one of us is shrouded in negative emotions such as helplessness and fear. Zhao Lan...... Thanks to these contributions, the information you have provided has the potential to change the fate of the entire human civilization. Although the truth revealed by this information is so brutal...... But the truth is the truth, and it is not something that we don't know or cover it up and it disappears. ”
Facing Zhang Hong's words, Zhao Lan didn't know what to say. Because Zhao Lan knew very well in his heart that he was not the discoverer of these things, he was just taking on the role of a porter. But because he had an appointment with Li Yunfan in advance and couldn't expose the existence of that base, Zhao Lan had no choice but to accept these compliments with great anxiety.
Zhang Hong turned around and patted Zhao Lan on the shoulder: "I will immediately use the power of the research institute to verify these things, and after the verification is passed, I will immediately submit it to the Central Academy of Sciences and publish it to scientists within the scope of mankind for review." Zhao Lan, you go to work first, I will keep in touch with you at any time about this information. ”
Zhao Lanru was granted amnesty, immediately left Zhang Hong's office, and then returned to his job.
A few days flew by. During this period of time, the information submitted by Zhao Lan was evaluated several times within the institute, and all researchers from various industries participated in the discussion, which greatly enriched the information from the details, and Zhang Hong used the advanced scientific research instruments in the institute, and even used 30% of the calculation share of the most powerful computer in human civilization to check the data and models, and finally finalized the information, and then submitted it to the Central Academy of Sciences.
The collaborative work of many scientific research workers in the 105 Research Institute made Zhao Lan clearly understand one thing, that is, no matter how strong an individual's ability is, it cannot be compared with a huge collective. The team of scientists led by Li Yunfan is undoubtedly excellent, but the information they have drawn up is still a little rough. It's like a big tree with a trunk and no branches. The trunk is the most important component of a tree, but it cannot survive without branches.
The staff of the 105 Research Institute have greatly supplemented this material from the aspects of mathematical structure, high-energy physics, extremely supernova explosions, warped space, gravitational field, magnetic field, and cosmic high-energy rays, and expanded the number of pages of this material from 30 to more than 200 pages. And that's just the work of one institute. Zhao Lan knew that after this information was submitted to the Central Academy of Sciences and accepted by all outstanding scientists in the whole of mankind to supplement and study, its number of pages would increase at least tenfold. In the cosmic environment, the slightest possible influence on Lobachevsky's space is taken into account. Human civilization will try to find a solution to the problem after combining all factors and intelligence.
This is not something that can be done by a single team or a certain base or a certain research institute. Even with Li Yunfan's ability, Li Yunfan didn't dare to say that he could complete one-ten-thousandth of this job.
Time passed quietly in waiting. After submitting this information to the Central Academy of Sciences, the work of the 105 Research Institute was reduced to simply counting and recording which celestial objects disappeared every day. Because of the large number of anomalous disappearing objects, the staff of the institute have even developed a set of automatic recording software to record the newly acquired data on a daily basis.
Zhao Lan watched the number skyrocket from 100,000 to millions in less than half a month. The speed at which the celestial anomaly disappeared was accelerating, and Zhao Lan knew that this meant ...... The rate at which the earth is falling is also accelerating.
On this day, Zhang Hong hurriedly found Zhao Lan, and then said to Zhao Lan: "The information we submitted has been preliminarily reviewed by the Central Academy of Sciences, and in five days, there will be a conference that gathers professionals from all disciplines and industries of all mankind, and we will start discussing this issue together." I was notified that you were invited. You hand over your work and come with me to this meeting. (To be continued.) )
