Chapter 173: Fog, Wind, and Rain

Zhao Lan's work is very busy, and there are many specific things in the space blocking plan that Zhao Lan needs to decide, but Zhao Lan still found time to come to the base twice to inspect the progress of various tasks in the base.

The first time I came to the base, it was the day when the Black Hole Slimming Program officially began. Zhao Lan, Zhou Xiaoming, An Liya, and Cruise, accompanied by Rodriguez, visited the interior of the base. It's been less than a year since the last time I was here, and the inside of the base has changed dramatically. Almost all facilities unrelated to the black hole have been dismantled, in other words, at this moment, all the equipment in the base is in the service of the black hole slimming program. It was a dense mass of pipes and cables, as well as numerous electronic devices and researchers in white coats.

Zhao Lan really saw the black hole again. It remained silently in the electric field restraint device, and apart from a slight distortion of light, Zhao Lan could not find any sign of the existence of a black hole. But whether it is Zhao Lan or others, it is very clear that it is there.

Zhao Lan pressed the open button with his own hands, and a low and slightly weird sound resounded throughout the base. It was the sound of countless huge machines starting to work. Under this sound, Zhao Lan felt a little dizzy, and at the same time, his heartbeat seemed to speed up a little. Rodriguez handed over an earmuff next to him, and Zhao Lan took it to feel better.

The temperature in the electric field binding device began to drop extremely rapidly. At this moment, this huge refrigerator has already begun to work. As the temperature drops, the black hole in the center of the device begins to brighten. Zhao Lan knew that it was a manifestation of the black hole radiation beginning to intensify. Among the monitoring equipment, Zhao Lan once again saw the appearance of this black hole. It had begun to awaken from its silence and began to unleash its vast energy, so that it became like a small sun, so bright that people dared not look at it directly.

But Zhao Lan knows that the radiation in the visible light band is only a very small part of the overall radiation of the black hole. The main manifestation of Hawking radiation is gamma rays, which are invisible. But it also carries the most energy.

All of this energy will be carried by the electric field-bound devices around the black hole. It was a huge special steel plate with hundreds of square meters on each of the six sides. They are made from the toughest materials in the field of human technology. But without the rest of the equipment to support them, the plates would have been burned into molten iron by the black hole's terrifying radiation in less than a second. conAd1();

Countless pipes and cables are the supporting equipment for these special steel plates. They will carry excess energy away from these steel plates, and then carry them out of the base through a series of extremely complex steps. And then through the tens of millions of heat dissipation points, this excess energy is released.

"We're killing a black hole." Zhao Lan sighed silently.

"Ann, la, la." An Liya smiled lightly. "This guy isn't a good thing. To be honest, being on the same planet as a black hole always gives me a bit of a trepidation. ”

Zhao Lan shook his head silently. At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for An Liya, a beautiful and almost abnormal woman.

The so-called ignorant are fearless, if they do not know the terrible thing about something. Then it's not a good idea not to be afraid of it. But Zhao Lan was sure that An Liya must know the horror of this black hole, which was a terrifying force that was enough to destroy an entire planet. This power has completely surpassed the existing control capacity of human civilization. In the face of this kind of power, Zhao Lan always can't help but feel that he is a primitive person. And then there was a button in the hand that could launch a nuclear weapon.

It was an instinctive fear of unknown terrorist forces. Until now, Zhao Lan couldn't get rid of this fear, but An Liya didn't seem to care about this black hole at all. It doesn't matter if it's a big nerve bar. Whether the psychological quality is super strong, Zhao Lan feels that An Liya is a woman who is a little too strong.

"Let's go, let's go outside and have a look." Zhao Lan beckoned, so a ferry car came to the five people, carried them to the port, got into a flying car, and left the base.

It's winter, and the wind is howling everywhere, and the snow is snowy. Especially in the mountainous area, the temperature is even lower. Zhao Lan looked at the thermometer, and the temperature displayed on it was minus forty-five degrees Celsius.

There was a gentle area in front of him, Zhao Lan pointed to that place, and the driver lowered the flying car gently. Putting on special warm clothes, Zhao Lan, An Liya, Cruise, Zhou Xiaoming, and Rodriguez walked down together. conAd2();

It's about fifty kilometers from the base, and it's still within the scope of the Black Hole Slimming Project.

The traces of the previous month-long construction have been obscured by the vast white snow. Zhao Lan looked around, and could see nothing except the rolling hills and snow. It's like any other mountainous area, cold, chilly, quiet, and nothing special. But Zhao Lan knew that the intricate pipes laid under the dirt in these places were transporting the energy and heat of the black hole, and then dumping it between heaven and earth.

"The cooler the temperature, the greater the ability of the natural environment to dissipate heat, and now is a good time to start a black hole slimming program," Rodriguez said. ”

"How much is the temperature expected to rise here?" Zhao Lan asked.

"Temperature simulations show that the temperature here will rise to about 40 to 60 degrees Celsius after the program starts." Rodriguez replied.

So Zhao Lan stopped talking, and just stood here quietly looking into the distance.

I don't know why, after Zhao Lan looked at it for a while, Zhao Lan felt that his vision had become a little blurred, as if he was looking through the fire. Seeing through the fire becomes blurry and distorted because of the movement of the air and the distortion of light, so what is the reason for the distortion at the moment?

"Well, probably because the air is starting to get heated." Zhao Lan thought so. So Zhao Lan continued to watch, and the world became like a steamer after a while.

A boundless mist began to appear, enveloping all of Zhao Lan's vision. All the mountains, all the paleness were hidden behind the fog, and visibility dropped to less than twenty meters. There was a vast fog all around, and nothing could be seen but the fog.

"The ground is heated, the snow is sublimated into water vapor, and the water vapor begins to condense when it meets the cold natural air, and it becomes fog." Zhao Lan muttered to himself, "I'm afraid this fog will last for a while." ”

Zhao Lan noticed that the snow under his feet had begun to loosen a little. conAd3(); The snow should feel hard when trampled on, but now it's starting to melt.

"It's going to be for a while, but not for long." "Soon the wind will come and blow the fog away." Because the hot air will rise, the cold air around will flow over, and the movement of the air will carry away these fogs. ”

Cruise also said: "During the period when the black hole slimming plan is being implemented, I am afraid that it will become very rainy here. ”

"Behold, how great we are." An Liya still smiled lightly, "We used our own hands to change the weather within a radius of nearly 100 kilometers. ”

Zhou Xiaoming shook his head noncommittally and did not speak.

As Rodriguez said, after a while, the wind did blow. Then the fog began to roll and fluctuate like the waves of the sea. When Zhao Lan lowered his head, he could even see the wet and muddy ground under his feet.

In just a few hours, the heat from the black hole had melted the snow. The fog, wind, and rain that followed were just some cascading reactions.

"It looks like the machines are running smoothly." Zhao Lan said.

"Of course, this is a cooling solution that I designed myself." Cruise said with some smugness, "Achieve the highest efficiency with the lowest energy consumption." In this matter, I am the best, there is no one. ”

Zhao Lan ignored Cruise's boasting, and most of his peers ignored Cruise's interest. Cruise closed his mouth and said no more.

After continuing to stay here for a while, and after confirming that everything was stable, Zhao Lan and the others got into the flying car again and left here. Because the surrounding fog is so thick, the flying car needs to be lifted off first, and it can only fly after it is out of the fog enveloping area. So in the sky, Zhao Lan once again saw a strange scene.

The thick fog undulates with the undulations of the mountain, and it looks like a quilt covering the peak. Its height is only a little more than 100 meters, and its length extends to tens of kilometers. Dozens of kilometers away, it came to an abrupt end, and beyond the range was a clear place, where there was still a vast expanse of snow, still a vast expanse, without any signs of fog or human involvement. Within this area, the fog is completely shrouded, and there is no mountain or anything above the ground.

The flying car flew over the white fog and flew all the way to the base. After observing the machinery working here again and making sure that everything was in order, Zhao Lan left here.

Three days later, the first super-large yield hydrogen bomb was delivered, and as the commander-in-chief of the space interdiction program, Zhao Lan had the obligation to come forward at this time. (To be continued.) Taven:
