Chapter Seventy-One: Who Destroyed the Stars?
Five years after the birth of the curvature engine, Noah had mastered gravitational wave communication technology in addition to faster-than-light sailing technology. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The discovery of the "space-time sea surface" effect during the development of the curvature engine greatly enhanced Noah's understanding of gravitational waves, and Noah knew that with the help of gravitational wave communication and space-time sea surface effects, he would be able to go further in the field of gravity and develop a truly strategic gravitational weapon.
During this period of time, the top diplomat Lolita has been making a false deal with the orthodox government of Kara, but it has to be said that there is only one diplomat on Noah's side, and the entire Supreme Council is supported by the entire Supreme Council on the other side, Lolita's negotiating ability is undoubted, but the other party is also a veteran in this area, and as the previous sentence "Three stinkers top Zhuge Liang", the negotiations are temporarily deadlocked.
Although Lolita took advantage of the Orthodox government's sense of crisis, the orthodox government was not stupid, and they were also thinking about whether Noah deliberately "pretended to be weak" for them, and they didn't dare to act rashly until they came to a conclusion.
But the negotiation process was not completely fruitless, although he still failed to get the inheritance cabin, but the orthodox government provided Noah with some conventional technology technology, which also promoted Noah's development to a certain extent.
It is worth mentioning that during this period of time, the rebel government still did not chase after him, which made Noah quite puzzled, for them, is the orthodox government and tens of billions of people really worthless things? And although this can give Noah more time to develop, it also makes the girl feel uneasy.
What added to Noah's anxiety was that a month earlier, the girl had observed something unusual.
The apparent magnitude of Proxima Cent α auri, which is Proxima Centauri, suddenly became much larger, as if it had been transformed from a small red dwarf into a superstar, completely surpassing the absolute magnitude of the Sun, but this process lasted less than ten minutes, and Proxima Centauri quickly dimmed.
After that, Proxima Centauri never shined again.
Noah made observations of the three-body system where he had stayed, and came up with a terrible fact.
Proxima Centauri is gone, and only a stunky nebula remains remains in the place where it originally existed, and the remaining stars A and B were finally freed from the three-body system, and the stellar light from the wreckage nebula was like a teardrop of the three-body system that had passed away.
Noah knew that Proxima Centauri was in the same stable period as the Sun, and its mass was much smaller than that of the Sun, which proved that its lifespan would even exceed that of the Sun, and that it was absolutely impossible for it to have a nova explosion or helium flash on its own.
What happened? Noah saw the "teardrops" on the wreckage nebula, and an inexplicable fear instantly invaded Noah's logical thinking.
Why did Proxima Centauri suddenly destroy? Unknown effects of the three-body system? Inaccuracies in Proxima Centauri observations? Or...... It's the answer that some Noah doesn't want to know.
Who destroyed the stars?
Although Noah's current ability can also destroy ordinary planets, stars and planets are not on the same order of magnitude at all, stars are far superior to planets in terms of mass, lifespan, and stability, and that kind of gap is like a stone and a mountain range, Noah can lift a stone, but he can't shake the mountain range at all.
Noah knew that the current maximum output power of his helium flash weapon was simply tickling the star, at most making the star sneeze and release the stellar wind that swept across the galaxy, but it was absolutely impossible to destroy a star.
Even for a red dwarf star with a relatively small mass like Proxima Centauri, Noah estimates that if his output can be magnified by a factor of 1,000, he may barely have the power to shake this little red dwarf.
And Noah knows that his current civilization level should be above 1.80 type, with each increase of 0.1 type representing 10 times the use of communication energy, if it is replaced by a simple energy output calculation, to make a weapon that can instantly destroy a star, it will be the domain of type II civilization.
Noah was uneasy, and although she didn't believe it was man-made, she connected with the leader of Kara's orthodox government to inform her about it.
The leader of the Orthodox government firmly denied that this was caused by the Kara civilization, and he was convinced that his civilization did not have that kind of weapon, and that destroying a star would not do Kara any good.
Noah also didn't want to believe this conclusion, and after being confirmed by the leader of the orthodox government, his heart settled down a little.
If Kara is really strong enough to arbitrarily decide the life and death of the stars, then Noah will never have the idea of confronting them again, and he can escape as far as he can with the earth!
In the face of violence that is absolutely irresistible, the only instinct left for humanity is to flee.
In the months that followed, Noah focused on whether there were any stars that had evolved abnormally within a hundred light-years, but Noah was slightly relieved that all stars except for Proxima Centauri, which seemed to be short-lived and then withered, maintained their original activities, and still quietly released light and heat there forever.
It seems that Proxima Centauri is really just an example, and maybe there is some kind of astronomical phenomenon that I don't know about happening in that Samsung system.
After Noah gave such a definition of the destruction of Proxima Centauri, he devoted all his attention to research.
It is worth mentioning that there have been some gratifying changes in the Gliese 581 galaxy, which has made Noah revise the schedule for the development of civilization, because in a long time, the earth has finally evolved a complete atmosphere again!
Although this basically came from the ozone generators that Noah built in various parts of the atmosphere, Noah was still full of emotion when the complete atmosphere appeared on the surface of the earth.
The earth has not yet given birth to any life, and the atmosphere has already appeared.
In the 21st century, someone once did a simulation experiment to simulate the evolution of the earth with a supercomputer, but removed the existence of life options, and explored what kind of evolution the earth would have taken if no life had been born.
The final conclusion was that a barren and dead dust planet with no atmosphere, no oceans, and even mountains would be scarce.
Without the birth of primitive microorganisms and plants, there would be no photosynthesis on Earth, the composition of the atmosphere would be very different, unable to block ultraviolet rays and solar wind, the oceans would evaporate, turning the Earth's atmosphere into a steamer like Venus, water vapor would leak from the top of the atmosphere into space, and the oceans on the surface would gradually dry up.
Without the ocean, the geological movement would be greatly altered, the tectonic plate movement would be completely different, and the mountains could be formed, but because there is no vegetation in the soil, the towering mountains are easily weathered and flattened, and finally the surface is mostly plains or hills of similar height......
Eventually, it becomes a barren and dry planet about the size of Mercury.
It would be a planet that had nothing to do with the Earth where life existed, the experimenter came to a conclusion.
The earth's environment is the home that life has created for itself, and it has little to do with the planet itself and God.
But Noah's promotion of the earth's evolution this time is undoubtedly exercising God's authority.
The atmosphere has been modified by Noah quite well, and it is completely composed of rare gases such as 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% carbon dioxide, etc., when humans were living, and if a human was standing on the surface of the earth now, he would not feel uncomfortable breathing.
But without the appearance of plants, the rate of renewal of the atmosphere will be slow, and although nearly a hundred years have passed, the movement of plates on the surface has not stopped, and at this time, it is not suitable to sow plants on the surface of the earth.
Due to the fact that the Earth was robbed of a lot of water by stellar winds when it was in the solar system, and when the glaciers formed again, the sea level was lowered considerably, and Noah had to collect liquid water and hydrogen and oxygen from the Gliese 581 galaxy and make them part of the Earth's oceans, replacing the liquid water that had been taken away.
It is worth mentioning that due to the large-scale eruption of submarine volcanoes, the bottom of the ocean is currently full of a variety of geocentric elements, which is a natural medium for primitive life, due to the improvement of the environment, the emergence of life has also been accelerated a lot, in some marine environments with very suitable living conditions, a small part of primitive life has begun to be born.
This surprised Noah, who originally thought that even if she had built the ecology, the first primordial life would appear a long, long time later, and Noah didn't know how long it would be.
Noah has always been curious about how the first primitive cells on Earth were born, and a biologist named Wershaw discovered the cell in the history of Earth civilization, which became a milestone in the biological world that broke the two fields of life in animals and plants, and he came to the conclusion that all cells come from pre-existing cells.
This conclusion has not been overturned until the extinction of human beings, knowing that it is wrong, but no one can explain how the first cell appeared, in Noah's observation of the earth, the first primitive life appeared very suddenly, Noah collected some samples to get the answer, but to Noah's disappointment, this so-called "first primitive life" is actually the remains of the last era on the earth, and a very small part of life has adaptive mutations in extreme environments, similar to "hibernation" The forms are preserved in the strata, and when the environment is suitable again, they wake up.
The first life that evolved this time was not the first life in the true sense of the word. And when this batch of lives appears, Noah can't know who will appear next will be the real first batch of lives.
If you want to explore this question next time, you must find a planet that has no life at all and conduct an experiment.
Noah thought a little depressed.
