Chapter 170: Concealment and Deception
After Li Yunfan's familiar, somewhat lazy voice came out, Zhao Lan clearly noticed that Zhou Xiaoming, An Liya, and Cruise all stopped breathing for a moment. The communication equipment returned to silence, and An Liya immediately screamed, "Boss, where have you been all this time?" Why haven't you been in touch with us for years? ”
An Liya's words made Zhao Lan's heart ripple as well: "Hey...... Yes, it's been several years since my Sylvia spaceship was stolen by Li Yunfan, and it has been several years since the first star disappeared abnormally......"
After An Liya, Zhou Xiaoming and Cruise also shouted at the same time: "Boss, where did you go?" ”
After the communication was delayed, Li Yunfan's voice came again, and this time, there was a bitter smile in Li Yunfan's voice: "This matter is a long story...... Something incredible happened to me. ”
Zhao Lan listened quietly, Zhou Xiaoming, An Liya, and Cruise also remained quiet, and Li Yunfan's words kept coming out of the communication equipment. Li Yunfan kept talking, and he kept talking for more than half an hour before he finished talking about what happened to him.
"That's the way it is." Li Yunfan said, "I inexplicably entered another empty universe, and only with the help of the spatial fluctuations caused by severing the connection between Lobachevsky's space and the earth's space, I can return to our universe from this empty universe." So, saving the earth, saving human civilization, and helping me escape from this empty universe is the same thing. I asked Zhao Lan to contact you, so that you can cooperate with Zhao Lan to find a way to transport this black hole from the base to the space node. ”
It took a few minutes for Zhou Xiaoming and the three of them to digest the information that Li Yunfan had narrated. After finally sorting out all this, Cruise wiped his sweat and said, "Boss, I think this operation should include Rodriguez, the head of the base. After all, he has always been in charge of the affairs of the base and the black hole, and he knows the situation of the base best. ”
Li Yunfan replied, "Yes." Before I plunged into the empty universe, I had already decided to raise Rodriguez's trust level to an A+. It's just that before this matter could be announced, an accident happened to me. ”
"Okay boss, I'm going to contact Rodriguez. Let him come to this meeting as well. An Liya immediately took out a communication device, and after waiting for a while, she said to the device: "Rodriguez, please come to the following coordinates quickly...... There are important things to discuss with your boss. ”
"Okay. I'll be there right away. Among the communication instruments, Rodriguez's voice was as quiet as ever.
As Rodriguez said, it took less than an hour for him to be here. Zhao Lan had long been accustomed to the vast supernatural powers of this group of people, so he didn't feel strange at all.
"Ms. Zhao Lan, hello." After Rodriguez came in, he first greeted Zhao Lan politely. Then he turned his head and asked Zhou Xiaoming and the three of them: "Where is the boss?" ”
"Here." Zhou Xiaoming casually pointed to the communication instrument placed beside Zhao Lan, and Cruise took over the conversation: "Rodriguez, you sit down first, things are a little complicated, I need to explain to you first." ”
An Liya said, "Rodriguez, the boss just announced that you have raised your trust level to A+. From now on, you will be the most trusted person by the boss except for the adventurer squad. ”
Rodriguez's eyes widened, and then he returned to normal. He nodded, dragged a chair and sat down: "I won't let the boss down." Right now. Please tell me what the hell happened to the boss. ”
"I'll tell you." Cruise said, repeating Li Yunfan's words to Rodriguez again.
Rodriguez's mental qualities seem to be a little better. After listening to Cruise's story, Rodriguez held his chin in his hand, thought quietly for a moment, and then opened his mouth, the voice was still as calm as usual: "So, does the boss have any plans?" How do we do that? ”
"The pigs in the scientific research department insist that the method of relying on the explosion of a high-yield hydrogen bomb is enough to complete the severance of the connection between Lobachevsky space and Earth's space, while the boss believes that only the method of relying on the explosion of a black hole is enough to meet the energy demand," said Anlia. Whether or not the connection between Lobachevsky's space and Earth's space can be severed is related to whether the boss can smoothly return to the normal universe. So, what we need to do is to hide the human government from the past. Reduce the mass of this black hole to about 100,000 tons, and then secretly transport it to that key space node. Rodriguez, the black hole and the base thing has always been in your charge, then. Do you have any suggestions on how to reduce the mass of black holes to the order of 100,000 tons without attracting the attention of the government? ”
Rodriguez was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't think of any way. We cannot do this without attracting the attention of the Government. You know, reducing the mass of a black hole from 100 million tons to 100,000 tons is not something that can be done in a short period of time. We had to turn up the power of the instrument to the maximum and work with all our might for at least a little more than a year to do this. And it is better to conceal the government for a day or two, and to conceal it for more than a year...... That's impossible. ”
"Because in the process of reducing the mass of the black hole. There will be a lot of energy emitted in the form of heat, which is so much that it can even completely change the ecology of a small area. According to my estimates, even in winter, the temperature will remain around minus 30 degrees Celsius within a radius of at least 100 kilometers around the base, the vegetation will not wither, the green will not turn yellow, there will be no snow, and the animals will not hibernate...... This, how is it possible to hide the past? ”
Zhao Lan also knew this, and when Rodriguez was talking about these things, Zhao Lan was also thinking about this question. But like Rodriguez, Zhao Lan didn't find any feasible solution. In the feudal era, the climate change in a small area may be able to hide the past, which is impossible in a modern society where technology has developed to such an extent. Not to mention the satellites in the sky, even if a flying car that happened to pass by here could detect the anomaly here when it saw that the plants on the ground that should have withered were still green.
Zhou Xiaoming and the three glanced at each other, and they all nodded silently. Obviously, they also agree with what Rodriguez is saying. Since the human government will never tolerate the existence of a black hole, once it is discovered, the entire base will be occupied, and a black hole with a mass of 100 million tons has no way to transport it at all, and reducing the mass of the black hole will attract the attention of the government...... This problem seems to have become a dead knot, and there is no solution to it.
"Is it possible to channel this dissipated energy to other places?" Zhao Lan asked.
"It's a problem-solving idea, but it's not feasible." Rodriguez shook his head, "It takes a lot of engineering and the most rigorous grooming design, and it's not something that can be done in just ten or eight years. It's too late. Moreover, even if there is time, I think it will be no less difficult to conceal such a large-scale project than the current problem. ”
"That's true." "I just had some calculations in my mind based on the intensity of the heat dissipated, the local geology, and the mountain construction, and came to the conclusion that it would only be more difficult than Rodriguez had said." ”
"What should I do then......" The atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull. This is a very difficult problem, but this problem is the most basic, and without solving this problem, there is no way to carry out everything in the future.
"You're all in the middle of a dead end." At this time, Li Yunfan's voice came out through the communication instrument: "Our purpose is to complete the work of slimming down the black hole without being constrained by the government and without the government's attention. But you must know that the only way to be unfettered and unnoticed by the government is to hide it...... In addition to concealment, there is also deception. ”
"If your mom is watching TV in the living room, and the living room is the only way to get to the door, then obviously there's no way to hide your mom and run out on a date with your girlfriend. But concealment is not the only way. You can totally go and tell your mom that you're going out to a friend's house to do your homework, and then run out to meet your little girlfriend. Li Yunfan said lightly, "The topic returns to the problem we are facing now...... Don't forget Zhao Lan's special identity. Zhao Lan is the commander-in-chief of the space interdiction program, Zhao Lan was the first to discover Lobachevsky space and the first to propose a feasible plan to save the earth, so Zhao Lan naturally has a high degree of trust. And this can bring us a lot of convenience. ”
"Zhao Lan, you can go and tell the Executive Committee that you want to borrow a secret experimental base of the military, report to the military and the Ministry of Joint Security that a secret base of the Ministry of Scientific Research is going to conduct a large number of nuclear energy tests recently, and apply to the head of state to raise the security level of the secret base, and ...... to the Nuclear Energy Bureau ...... to the Ministry of Supervision You can tell different things to different departments, and the truth of the matter is known only to you.
