Chapter 146: Extreme Heat Event
Ida didn't really go far. This alien woman has been stuffy in the life capsule on the planet Gliese for a long time, and even when she goes to explore other planets as a planetary messenger, she can only use her own virtual images.
And now that I have finally applied for such an opportunity with the highest governor, I will naturally cherish it. These days, Ida has been orbiting the blue planet in her own spaceship, like a satellite of Earth. She had also gone around the moon for a while, but found it dead silent, and soon lost interest.
For this alien woman, Earth is arguably the most beautiful and vibrant planet she has ever seen. If these two adjectives were to be taken out arbitrarily, perhaps the answer would not be so, because she had seen planets full of colorful flames, and planets with towering plants and trees and various creatures huddling together, but compared to them, the earth was undoubtedly a perfect combination, neither monotonous nor irritable.
As she looks at the ground from the transparent shield of the ship, Ada can't help but think of her and her dog, Crick's "good intentions".
Although this alien woman has a very respectful attitude towards the supreme governor of her own planet, she is not in the form of superstition, and sometimes doubts the legitimacy of certain prohibitions, such as the rule that "it is not allowed to transmit technology to intelligent beings on other planets".
In Ada's eyes, the reason why the Supreme Governor gave such a @" rule may be related to a crisis on the planet Gliese a long time ago.
The crisis did not arise because of the ecological balance caused by the opening of the genetic lock, nor was it a riot within the planet, but an invasion from the extraterrestrials.
At that time, the planet Gliese was still in a state of fragmentation, and each area had its own governor. They are in their own ways and constantly fighting for their own interests.
The most technologically advanced regions are expanding their spheres of influence. It even began to set its sights on alien planets, starting the so-called "interstellar alliance program". They used spacecraft to transport the scientific researchers on the Gliese to find a planet that was already home to intelligent life a few light years away from the Gliese planet, and spent a long time teaching them high-end technology.
But the end result is that after thousands of years of continuous learning, the higher beings of that planet have learned a lot about the technology on the planet Gliese. And he has also achieved certain achievements, and then began to invade the planet Gliese unscrupulously.
Fortunately, the ruler of Gliese at that time was not completely brainless, but knew how to keep a hand in some aspects. After the first wave of aggression, the entire planet's defenses were established and fully activated almost instantly, so that the subsequent waves of attacks were like hitting cotton without any effect.
Despite this experience, Ada doesn't think there's anything wrong with teaching technology to Earth's only intelligent being. Even if this dinosaur defy the sky, there must be no way to do anything to destroy a planet, not to mention that it is limited by its body structure and lifespan.
Because Ida has a good impression of this behemoth on Earth. In addition, she was very curious about how far this intelligent creature could evolve with herself, so she wanted to tell it all the useful knowledge of her planet, and as for how much she comprehended, it was the dinosaur's own ability.
However, if you simply teach him everything, if you don't speak up properly, you may cause misunderstanding or some kind of suspicion to the other party; Second, it does not meet the requirements of the Supreme Decree of Gliese.
But let Crick sue Sù to Qiao Hua for these things, and Ida felt that it was no big deal. Because Crick was not originally a member of the Science Department or the Planetary Secrets Department, his profession was only his own pet, and he was theoretically not restricted by these decrees. What's more, this big dog originally wanted to stay on Earth for a while longer. This is just the right time to fulfill its wishes.
Just as Ada stood there with her arms crossed and looked down, thinking about her own business. Something seems wrong with the scene on Earth.
Puffs of smoke rose and red magma converged into streams, and fire raged......
Even Ada, who was near the atmosphere, felt a slight tremor in the spacecraft, wondering if it was due to a change in gravity or the effect of the hot air rushing up below.
In short, this alien woman knows that the earth is in trouble.
……
By the time Ada's ship arrived near Johua and Crick's location, some ash had spread from afar. The sky was no longer as clear as it had been, and it looked as if it had been separated by a layer of frosted glass.
Originally, Crick did not have much hope for the distress signal he sent, because his owner was really unreliable and often ran around in the name of scientific research. If it flies away from the solar system, it is not certain when this signal will be received.
And if the ash continues to spread. This can lead to two very different outcomes.
Volcanic ash and other fine particles that obscure the sky remain in the atmosphere, preventing sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, causing temperatures to plummet for a long time. On the other hand, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air will gradually increase with volcanic eruptions, causing a strong greenhouse effect, a sudden rise in temperature, and suffocation of animals and plants.
Of course, volcanic eruptions can also cause certain toxic substances to appear in the air, but for many organisms, such concentrations of poisonous gases are not enough to be fatal. A small amount of poison can even help dwarf tyrannosaurs and baby squirrels open the genetic locks that protect against the lethality of the gas, so they don't have to think about it for now.
As for whether the earth will get cold or hot, it depends on the competition between the two forces. But either way, it would be a great disaster for life on Earth.
In fact, if Qiao Hua thought about it carefully, recalling some of the paleontological knowledge he had learned, he would be able to know the results of this global volcanic eruption in advance.
In the early Cenozoic Era, more than 50 million years from the 21st century, there was a period when the average temperature on the earth was unusually much higher, and scientists regarded this period as the dividing line between the "Paleocene" and the "Eocene", and called this event that led to the abnormal increase in temperature "Paleocene-Eocene extremely hot event".
But until Qiao Hua was reborn, scientists didn't really understand what this so-called "extreme heat event" was, but all the various assumptions they made and the "reasonable inferences" made by some broken clues.
Qiao Hua didn't know that the period he was in now happened to be the beginning of the "extreme heat event". (To be continued......)
