Chapter 2: Goodbye! earth
When this neutron star approaches the Earth, its surface temperature can reach 15 million degrees Celsius, and all the rivers, lakes and seas that are the source of life on Earth will evaporate in an instant.
The flowers and trees that produce oxygen for humans will also be burned out in an instant. A hellish scene will play out on Earth.
And the bright orange-red light. It is the continuous eruption of volcanoes all over the earth, and dark red magma gushes out in billowing black smoke.
Human beings have no place to live.
The blue planet turned into a fiery fireball, sending its last cry for help to the universe, but it could never wait for help.
In this final stage, the powerful gravitational pull of the neutron star continued to tear the devastated Earth, tearing the Earth into thousands of pieces, and ruthlessly compressing every atom of the Earth into neutrons.
After that, they all become part of the neutron star. Naturally, the moon cannot escape such a tragic fate.
The Earth and the Moon were torn into countless pieces by a neutron star. It may not be long before the escaped debris arrives on Mars.
Ruan Lin had stopped thinking and just stared at the screen, tearfully communicating.
In the last moments of the video, the Earth and the Moon are torn to pieces.
Time seems to freeze. The 'Klein Bottle' on Ruan Lin's chest also glowed orange-red.
Ruan Lin is like a baby who has been coaxed to sleep by his mother.
He felt as if he had a dream, as if he had experienced it himself.
He saw 10,000 years ago in the Neolithic Age, when several Neanderthals burned a mammoth to death with fire. He saw that more than 4,000 years ago, Dayu was located in Ziqi, creating a precedent for Chinese civilization. He saw that more than 2,000 years ago, Qin Shi Huang sat on the throne of his dragon chair, waved his sleeves, dominated China, and became the first emperor of the millennium. He saw that 500 years ago, Bruno was burned as a pagan in Rome's Campo de' Campo d'Époire for his hype about heliocentrism and cosmology. He saw that 40 years ago, mankind officially stepped out of its home planet and began its space voyage.
He saw the present, sitting in his chair, facing the image of the Earth being torn to pieces.
At this moment, endless knowledge was engraved into his mind. From the first time humans knew how to use fire, to how to build a sailing research ship today. Ruan Lin felt that he had received all the knowledge of mankind from ancient times to the present day.
The human brain can store up to 7.6 terabytes of knowledge. From ancient times to the present, there are 20 zettabytes of human knowledge.
To put it more intuitively, the total amount of knowledge equivalent to 20 billion terabytes was engraved into Ruan Lin's brain like an imprint.
Ruan Lin's current brain is now like a hard drive with no storage capacity. Small enough to write down in his head how a Turing machine works and how to make it, big enough to draw how to make a spaceship, he can retrieve any piece of knowledge.
He could feel a surge in telomerase activity in the cells in his body, and he seemed to be able to 'upload consciousness'. Just now, he felt that his consciousness could be separated from his body and uploaded to a nearby small host, which was equivalent to achieving digital immortality.
If there was a supercomputer on Earth to store this knowledge, so much information would flood into the computer and only cause a momentary crash and damage
"It's kind of like the decades-old game, 'flesh and blood are weak, and machines are rising'. Maybe I should really upload my consciousness to the computer. Ruan Lin quipped
"Is it because of you?" Ruan Lin endured the sharp pain in his brain and stroked the 'Klein Bottle' in his chest again and again.
Is this the heritage of all mankind? Or rather, the will of mankind.
Ruan Lin's ears seemed to hear all mankind say goodbye to him in various languages.
It wasn't until he heard his native language that he could no longer suppress his feelings.
"Goodbye".
"Earth, the Moon, my fellow human beings. Goodbye, goodbye......" Ruan Lin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and muttered.
"Dr. Ruan, this collision has produced more debris and more powerful. We need to change the destination of our trip and fly to the front and back of Mars to avoid this massive debris impact. Wit poked out his funny camera head and said.
"We also need to get out of the solar system as soon as possible. After this event, the orbits of all the planets in the solar system are unstable, and other planets in the solar system may run directly to the sun, and in serious cases, the entire solar system will fall apart.
In contrast, Mars may only be farther away from its current orbit, which may be considered safer. Ruan Lin sighed silently in his heart.
Flying out of this star system would be nonsense even to the omniscient and all-powerful self, and at least it would require the ship to reach the fourth cosmic velocity. Now I can only stay on Mars for the time being, and plan for the next step of development.
Observing Mars from this distance, you can already clearly see the highest volcano on Mars, Mount Olympus. It is about 600 kilometers wide and covers an area of about 300,000 square kilometers. It covers an area the size of Italy.
This reminded Ruan Lin of the highest peak on earth, Mount Everest. It's a pity that I haven't been there myself, and I don't have a chance to get a glimpse of it anymore.
"Wit, there's no human landing on Mars yet, right? Mars is a starting point for a fresh start. Heavy elements are abundant and can replenish much-needed fuel. If we have enough time, we can even build a spaceship. Ruan Linto said, holding his hands and staring at Mount Olympus.
"Yes, there hasn't been a human landing in the true sense of the word." Wit replied
"Haha, do you feel Gagarin's feelings? It's a small step for me, but it's a giant leap for all of humanity......"
The 'Titan' that Nguyen Lin was riding on was about 34m long and 6m high. Circumferentially around the hull is a centrifugal force generator equipped with a solar sail.
As the number one historical excavator on the earth, Ruan Lin took over the task of the association this time: to conduct deep exploration and excavation of Martian geology.
Unexpectedly, this also left the last spark for human civilization.
In this free time, Ruan Lin made some logical calculations.
It is impossible for a neutron star a few hundred light-years away from Earth to suddenly appear in the solar system.
Does the speed of light change under certain circumstances? Could the fixed speed of light of 300,000 kilometers per second accelerate by a factor of 1,000? Why is it such a fixed value?
The destruction of the earth in such a dramatic way seems to be a doomed thing.
With so many illogical changes in such a short period of time, isn't it just a pile of waste paper for human beings to calculate the speed of light and research on neutron stars?
Not to mention the big theories that have put so much effort into it. These illogical things are as if they were scripts that have been finalized, just waiting for the day when the curtain will be lifted.
