As for the second hypothesis...... This hypothesis holds that due to some accidental reasons, a large number of heavy elements accumulate in the solar core, which reduces the radiation power of the sun, and because under extreme environments, heavy and light elements converge to participate in fusion, as well as the participation of some unknown reasons, resulting in a more intense fusion reaction in the solar core, so that the sun is in a dangerous equilibrium phase, in which the sun does not shrink in volume due to the decrease in internal radiation pressure, nor expands in volume due to uncontrolled nuclear fusion. It's just a drop in temperature......"

"It's ridiculous." Zhao Huasheng shook his head, "It's impossible. With the mass of the Sun, the temperature and pressure of the Sun's core are not as high as the high level for heavy elements to participate in fusion. ”

"There are also many people within the research department who oppose these two hypotheses, but at the moment...... We don't have any clue. No hypothesis that has stood the test has been brought up. Even if these two hypotheses are absurd, the Ministry of Scientific Research has decided to send relevant forces to test these two hypotheses. It's better than us being headless flies. "The truth is...... In the face of this strange change that is far beyond our technological level, we can only let go of any idea that may lead to a breakthrough like this. No matter how ridiculous the idea is, we have to try to verify it. ”

"That's why I'm so valued." Zhao Huasheng smiled bitterly.

"Yes." Meng Zhuo nodded: "That's why the Führer said that most of the fate of the human race on Earth is in your hands. ”

Zhao Huasheng nodded, falling back into silence.

Outside the window, the scenery is still the same, with snow and ice, cold winds, and a gloomy sky. Even in the fully sealed cabin, Zhao Huasheng seemed to be able to feel the cold of the outside world. It's freezing cold that can make even polar bears, which are known for their resistance to the cold, shiver.

Li Wei also looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze, and her thoughts seemed to have drifted to nowhere.

"Has there been any progress on the Psychology Expert Group?" Zhao Huasheng asked.

"Nothing big has happened." Meng Zhuo said, "By analyzing Richie's psychology and the traces left by Richie, the Psychology Expert Group judged that Richie noticed you a long time ago. Li Qi has retrieved your information and personally interfered in your work arrangement. It's very unusual, you know, you were just an intern at the time, and Li Qi was the director of the entire Stellar Physics Institute. ”

Hearing the name "Li Qi", Li Wei came back to her senses from her reverie.

"Yes, I can confirm that." Li Wei said, "My brother has mentioned you at least ten times in front of me. Normally, my brother would never tell me about work. ”

"It's a pity that even the team of psychology experts can't tell what Rich is paying attention to you for. Otherwise, the puzzle that Richie left us with would be much easier to solve. Monjo said.

Zhao Huasheng smiled bitterly: "Even I can't figure out what aspects of me deserve Director Li Qi's attention." Indeed, I was just an intern at the time, and I didn't have any reason to be worth paying attention to. Having said that, can the panel of psychology determine when Director Li Qi began to pay attention to me? If I know the exact timing, I might be able to make some guesses. ”

"About two years ago. This time coincides with the point when Li Qi began to change and "became less like himself". I just don't know if Director Li Qi noticed you first before he changed, or if he changed first and then noticed you. Well, there is an event that has an exact point in time, and this event is recorded within the education system. One year, ten months, and nine days ago, Director Li Qi retrieved your student file from the education system. Probably because Director Li Qi did not have the authority, this retrieval record was not deleted. ”

"One year, ten months, and nine days ago...... Zhao Huasheng fell into deep thought.

"September 5th, 13, 10:08 p.m." "By recovering the surveillance data in the Institute, as well as restoring your computer, phone records, and surveillance records around your place of residence, the Psychology Expert Group confirmed that it was just a normal day for you. You leave home at 8 a.m. to go to work, go to lunch at 12:21 p.m., then lie down on your desk and take a nap, and come home at 6:13 p.m., at home, you make your own dinner, play games for an hour and 39 minutes, browse some websites, and fall asleep. There is nothing noteworthy about this day. ”

"The team of psychologists is looking for records about you from the previous time. Of course, because so much time has passed, the records found cannot be too complete. If there's anything you can recall at this point in time, that's great. Monjo said.

"I can't think of anything I've ever done." Zhao Huasheng thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Give me all the records you have collected about me." The period from the earliest time Director Li Qi and I may have known each other until Director Li Qi accessed my archival records. ”

"Okay." Meng Zhuo said lightly, "This is the information that has been collected so far, and the rest of the data is being collected by the Psychology Expert Group. This time period is up to a year, and there will be a lot of information, which you can read and recall slowly. ”

Zhao Huasheng nodded silently and took the notebook handed over by Meng Zhuo. Looking at the text, audio, and video records on it, Zhao Huasheng fell into a long-lasting memory, until the helicopter began to land.

Zhao Huasheng put away his notebook, put on a special cold-proof suit, and walked out of the cabin. Not far from the helicopter landing site, dozens of low-rise bungalows form a living compound, where several staff members, also dressed in heavy winter suits, are already waiting.

The Arctic Long Mountain Station is built on top of the ice sheet near the North Pole. Because of its proximity to the North Pole, it is frozen all year round and has a cold climate. The lowest temperature on earth measured some time ago was measured by the staff at Changshan Station.

The solid ice sheet beneath your feet is no different from the land. Although there is no land here, the ice sheets can be more than 30 meters thick, and they are as tough as the land. There is snow on top of the ice sheet, and when the cold wind blows, the snow will be rolled up, making the whole sky look a little gray. Even with a thick hat, Zhao Huasheng could still hear the whimper of the cold wind.

It's the polar day, and even though it's night, the sun still hangs in the sky and refuses to set. It's just that there doesn't seem to be much difference between having a sun and not having a sun, and its little heat doesn't make any difference here.

Standing on the ice cap of the North Pole, facing the snowstorm and paleness, a feeling of eternal wilderness, cold and desolate filled Zhao Huasheng's chest. Along with this feeling is a sense of powerlessness as a small human being in the face of the nature of heaven and earth.

"It's getting colder and colder." A staff member who greeted him sighed, took the supply box from the medical and safety team, and asked, "When we evacuated, we sat on these guys?" ”

"Yes." Meng Zhuo nodded, "We have also taken on the task of helping you capture polar bears, wolves, arctic foxes, reindeer and other biological specimens. ”

"I really don't understand, retreat, retreat, what to do with those animals." The staff member complained, turned around and beckoned to the back: "What are you still doing in a daze, come and move things." ”

With everyone busy, supplies were quickly moved from helicopters to residential areas. The helicopter was properly positioned to prevent it from being frozen, and Zhao Huasheng, Meng Zhuo, Li Wei and others entered the house with a special cold-resistant arrangement.

The double-glazed glass with a special structure blocks out the cold of the outside world while retaining excellent light transmission. Zhao Huasheng took off his heavy winter clothes, sat at the table in front of the window, and looked out the window in a daze. After a long time, Zhao Huasheng took out the information that Meng Zhuo handed over to him and looked at it carefully.

This look saw twelve o'clock in the evening. The sun was still hanging in the sky and refused to set, but Zhao Huasheng felt a tiredness spreading from the depths of his heart. Zhao Huasheng rubbed his forehead, pulled down the curtains, and then lay down on the bed.

"I used to want to come to the North Pole to see the aurora with my own eyes, but now I really go to the North Pole, but the aurora is gone." Zhao Huasheng smiled slightly bitterly in his heart.

Auroras occur because of the collision between a stream of high-energy charged particles from the sun and the Earth's magnetic field. At this moment, the level of solar radiation has decreased so much, and the aurora will naturally no longer be visible.

This is probably the first thing lost on the earth because the sun is getting colder. But Zhao Huasheng didn't feel much sad or lost, because Zhao Huasheng knew that in the future, the earth would lose more, more than everyone imagined, beyond everyone's bottom limit.

In this slightly uneasy state of mind, listening to the cold wind whistling outside the window, accompanied by this somewhat pale world, Zhao Huasheng entered his first dream after coming to the North Pole.

When I woke up, the sun was still hanging in the sky. After following the staff of Changshan Station to eat breakfast and clean up his body, Zhao Huasheng once again put on heavy cold-proof clothes and left the base with Li Wei, Meng Zhuo and others, as well as the staff of Changshan Station.

"Our mission today is to catch at least three polar bears, and it would be nice if we could catch two more reindeer along the way." The staff member said.
