Chapter 165: Believe, or Don't Believe
Up to now, of course, Zhao Lan has completely believed in the existence of the black hole, and also believes that Li Yunfan has indeed studied this black hole for more than ten years, but this does not mean that Zhao Lan can completely and thoroughly believe Li Yunfan's words. The most critical point, that is, why the factor of the earth's mass should be added to the calculation of the intensity of the energy burst, Zhao Lan has not yet found evidence.
When he came to this base, Zhao Lan carried with him the instrument that could communicate with Li Yunfan, and Zhao Lan planned to let Li Yunfan tell him his ideas in detail and thoroughly under the condition that all the test verification equipment and test materials were complete.
But Zhao Lan soon found that this was unrealistic. There are too many and too many research materials to be used, and the experimental data involved in them is as numerous as the stars in the sky. To fully reproduce these experiments and obtain first-hand experimental data, it is too late in time to do so. Zhao Lan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, first acquiescing that these experimental data were real, and only intended to understand Li Yunfan's ideas from a scientific logic, but Zhao Lan then found out again...... This is also not feasible.
If Zhao Lan is given a few years of time, Li Yunfan is allowed to be a teacher, and Zhao Lan is taught a few years completely, Zhao Lan may be able to integrate these things, but Zhao Lan will also face a problem, that is...... Not enough time.
"I have to admit that my wisdom is insufficient, but it is impossible for human civilization to be without people who are equal to your intelligence. Li Yunfan, can you make all these research data public? I'm going to figure out how to explain where this data came from, and then I'm going to give it to the Stellar Scourge Command for the people of the Executive Committee to organize scientists to interpret it...... They must be able to understand these things. In this way, we can convince them that it is not feasible to interrupt the connection between Lobachevsky space and Earth with the help of a large-yield hydrogen bomb explosion, and that it can only be done with the help of black holes. ”
In the face of Zhao Lan's request, Li Yunfan was silent for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Zhao Lan, you think things too simply. Even if I make the research materials public. Even if I disclose the existence of my base, I will hand over the matter of this black hole and all the experimental equipment here to the people of the scientific research department to take over, and let them verify the authenticity of these materials on the spot...... Will that change? No, it won't. They still won't believe it. ”
Zhao Lan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why?" ”
"First of all, Zhao Lan, tell me, why do you believe me?" Li Yunfan did not answer Zhao Lan's question. Instead, another question arises.
"Why do I believe you?" Zhao Lan muttered this sentence to herself, fell into thought, and did not answer for a long time.
"Yes, if you remove the emotional factor and think only with reason...... Why do you believe me? First of all, on the one hand, the mainstream scientists of human civilization, they not only have the right to speak, but their theories and calculation results also have complete and solid theoretical support, compared to the data used in my calculation process, you have no time to verify them one by one. Even the logic of my thinking you don't fully understand. Secondly, I am a thief, I am completely outside the mainstream scientific community, and I am afraid that you have such a reliable impression of me as both good and evil...... Zhao Lan, you are a kind person, you were infected by me in your relationship with me, so you believe me, but you have to understand that this is your emotional choice. And not your sane choice. ”
"Really?" At this moment, Zhao Lan was a little distracted.
And the rest of the scientists, what reason do they have to trust me and not their own calculations? I'm sure if I fully disclose the existence of my base and all of my research. So what would be their reaction...... First of all, there will be a large number of soldiers with loaded guns to control this place, satellites in the sky will be aimed at this place, a large number of armed aircraft will occupy the sky here, and the government will turn this place into a forbidden place for mosquitoes to escape. And then a horde of scientists will come in, and they'll parse everything inside my base - oh, these actions don't really matter. If they can trust my research and adopt my conclusions to carry out the disruption program, and ultimately avoid the fate of the Earth falling into the empty universe, sacrificing this base is not unacceptable to me, but that kind of thing is not going to happen. ”
"When analyzing the data in my base, they will also face the dilemma you face, that is, the problem of lack of time and the inability to verify the experimental data. They can't be sure what kind of person the thief Li Yunfan is, but neither the government nor the mainstream scientific community will have a good impression of me, and they will probably see me as a terrorist hiding in the shadows, and they will have a deep prejudice against me. Coupled with the fact that the data cannot be verified, they will inevitably not accept the data, which means that it will not change the outcome of the matter. ”
"And that's not all...... They will also take care of the black hole with the strictest measures ever taken by mankind, and at the same time try to eliminate the black hole by any means. Because the human government will not allow a thing that can destroy the entire earth at any time to exist on the earth. In this way, we will be completely finished, including the earth will fall into the empty universe due to the wrong calculation results, and the entire human civilization will be finished. ”
Zhao Lan muttered, "This seems to be a dead end...... In other words, whether or not you disclose your base or your research materials, the human government will not accept your calculations. If you don't believe your calculations...... The earth will fall into the empty universe, and human civilization will perish. But there is one suspicion. Li Yunfan, why did you even hesitate to grant me the highest authority of your base, and disclose all the secrets of your base to me, but also make you believe you? I can't figure it out, what's the use of convincing me in you when the mainstream scientific community of human civilization is already destined not to believe you? ”
"Useful, of course useful." Li Yunfan said with a smile, "This involves my next plan." I want to go back to our universe, and at the same time, I don't want human civilization to perish, but human civilization refuses to accept the results of my calculations, so we will carry it out ourselves, and we will find a way to transport this black hole to a designated point in space and detonate it there, and use our own power to stop the earth from falling into the empty universe...... And if you want to execute this plan, your position is crucial. Because you are the commander-in-chief of the Space Interruption Program, your identity and status can provide a lot of help in this matter. Only if you fully believe in me can this plan succeed. ”
"Me?" Zhao Lan covered her mouth in surprise, "With my identity...... Helping with this? ”
"Yes." "This is the best I can come up with." Your official identity provides cover, and my team of adventurers and my team of scientists take care of the implementation, and we'll do it together. Only by doing so can the earth be saved from the end of the crash. ”
Zhao Lan hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
Li Yunfan continued: "So...... The decision on how this will develop is yours. ”
It was really difficult for Zhao Lan to make this decision. Because Zhao Lan has always been an ordinary person, Zhao Lan has never experienced such a thing. In his more than 20 years of life experience, one of the most important decisions Zhao Lan made was to make the choice of the Sylvia spacecraft from several options provided by the government, but now, Zhao Lan's choice is related to human civilization and the fate of the entire earth.
If Li Yunfan is wrong, and Zhao Lan chooses to believe Li Yunfan, then after successfully implementing the plan proposed by Li Yunfan, the black hole that erupts at the key space node will have an immeasurable impact on Lobachevsky space, and this impact is likely to cause ripples in the space that would have been cut off again, and once again involve the earth in the empty universe. If the mainstream scientific community of the human government is wrong, and Zhao Lan chooses to refuse to believe Li Yunfan, then the earth will also fall into the empty universe, and human civilization will also perish.
Finally...... How to choose?
Zhao Lan felt a heavy pressure pressing on him. One of your own decisions can change the fate of the entire human civilization, this kind of thing is fun to say and very fulfilling, but when it is really put on yourself, the psychological pressure brought by this choice to yourself may make people go crazy directly.
At this time, Zhao Lan once again remembered his ancestor Zhao Huasheng. No matter which film and television works tend to portray Zhao Huasheng as a wise, resolute and resolute image that is not like a human being, but Zhao Lan knows that Zhao Huasheng is actually just an ordinary person, and at that time, Zhao Huasheng's psychological pressure must be no less than that of himself at the moment.
When he really faced similar things, Zhao Lan really realized Zhao Huasheng's greatness. This greatness is not manifested in wisdom, but in the tenacity of the heart.
Facts have proved that Zhao Huasheng at that time finally made the right choice and finally saved the entire human civilization, but ...... What about me now? Myself...... Can you make the right choice?
"Zhao Lan, I'm waiting for your answer." Li Yunfan's words came out again. (To be continued.) )
