Until now, it is only 8.6 light-years away from the Sun - a distance that would take a full 8.6 years to reach even at the speed of light, but at such a huge scale of the universe, this distance can be regarded as far from back to back.

No, it should be described as the front and rear feet. It's too close. When the star with a high probability of being a black hole was really discovered at this distance, Professor Wen Chengcheng realized that it seemed that this Mr. Lu with a mysterious origin ...... There was such a foreknowledge early on.

But how is this possible? No one could have predicted in advance what would be there. Faced with this question, Lu Ming couldn't answer it.

He had to say perfunctorily: "Luckily, hehe, I'm also more interested in celestial bodies like black holes, so I sponsored you to look for them casually." Professor Wen Chengcheng was not suspicious.

"I see. Okay, Mr. Lu, I immediately organized people to confirm the next step, and it is estimated that it will not take much time. When the time comes, I will inform you as soon as there are further discoveries. ”

"Okay." Hanging up the phone, Professor Wen Chengcheng was in high spirits. It's not the same now. In the past, he was just an ordinary scientific researcher, but now he is the leader of a whole large project.

Not only that, but if it is finally determined that it is really a black hole, then he can even make another leap and complete the transformation from an ordinary scientific researcher to a famous scientist.

His name even had the opportunity to be printed in textbooks, and it was praised thousands of years later. As for the rest of the honors, it goes without saying, and the various awards will definitely be soft.

Now several well-known and powerful scientists have joined his team. For the rest, team leaders from a full three telescopes have joined the group.

After formulating a follow-up observation and data analysis plan, the newly formed team immediately threw themselves into intense work.

The vastness of space, the vastness of the sky. There is no distinction between up, down, left, right, front and back, and no matter which direction you look here, you can only see the stars in the sky.

No matter which direction you move, no matter how fast you fly, there is no change in the surrounding scenery.

There is only the darkness and loneliness that seems to be eternal. In this case, a complete

"Stealth" celestial bodies quietly pass by. It emits almost no radiation to the outside world. Only one thing is called

The "Hawking radiation" is also completely obscured by the cosmic microwave background radiation because it is too faint, and it cannot be detected at all.

It cannot be seen by the naked eye, nor can it be detected by any detection tool. Its passage directly distorted the surrounding space.

If there is a person here looking at it, this person can see that the whole starry sky is distorted as it passes by.

It's like looking at the distant scenery through the hot air of a fire on the earth. It's a piece of land that's in

A black hole in a "dormant" state. The dormant state does not mean that the black hole cannot swallow the material that is close to it.

Rather, it is precisely because there is no matter near it at the moment, no matter for it to devour, that it will be dormant.

As soon as matter comes close to it, is bound by its strong gravitational pull, and is finally swallowed by it, the dormant black hole is immediately activated, releasing the power it contains.

This is a vast void of space. There are no macroscopic objects in this vicinity up to two light-years.

But it's not empty. It is possible that the dust thrown by many different exploding stars has been brought together for various reasons.

They had roughly the same speed and direction, and they came together as one

The "clouds" are moving forward in the vastness of space. This dormant black hole plunged headlong into this cloud of interstellar molecules.

A strong gravitational pull kicks in, and the interstellar dust cloud begins to spin and be swallowed up by it. The black hole's gravitational pull accelerates these interstellar dusts that are too close to itself to extremely high speeds.

They frantically swirled around the black hole, and an accretion disk was formed. Where there is abundant matter, the accretion disk that revolves around a black hole can be extremely bright, even releasing a brighter light than a massive star.

At the extreme, it can even emit a brighter light than an entire galaxy, such as quasars.

- At the center of the quasar is a supermassive black hole. But here the material is thin. Interstellar dust clouds are called though

"Clouds", but in no way the same as the misty clouds above the Earth. Its material density is still rare, even less than the highest vacuum that can be created in a laboratory on Earth at this moment.

Thus, although the gravitational pull of the black hole is strong enough, the radiation power of the accretion disk that forms around it is still low.

Black holes themselves are not observable. What can be observed is the accretion disk of the black hole. In the accretion disk of a black hole, because matter is accelerated to such a high speed, it can release an astonishing amount of energy when it rubs against each other.

The efficiency of this mass-to-energy conversion can even be as high as 50% or more. This is almost one of the most efficient ways to convert energy in the universe.

In contrast, the proportion of matter converted into energy in the nuclear fusion process is only about 0.7%.

Nuclear fission is even lower, only about 0.15%. This is a gap of up to dozens of times. At this moment, in the accretion disk around the black hole, the mass of interstellar dust is converted into energy, and it begins to radiate at the speed of light to the surrounding cosmic space.

After a long distance and a whopping 8.6 years, this radiation travels to the solar system and to the Earth.

After a long distance, the radiation is very weak. However, the detection equipment made by human civilization with the highest technology still accurately captures these radiation signals and turns them into numbers and data.

At this moment, the Black Hole Hunter project team, Professor Wen Chengcheng, together with the team members, is analyzing these data.

The preliminary analysis is now complete. At this stage, there is the last and most important piece of data, X-ray analysis.

- Of course, it's the X-rays radiated by the accretion disk around the black hole, not the black hole itself. If the results are as expected, the probability that the star is a black hole will skyrocket to more than 99%.

Conversely, if it does not meet expectations, then the possibility that the star is a black hole is basically ruled out.

At this moment, the relevant data has been imported into the supercomputer, and the final stage of calculation and analysis is underway. When the final result returned, Wen Chengcheng only felt that his heart was beating uncontrollably.

He didn't even dare to look at the number. But under the expectant gaze of his subordinates, he still opened the result.

He froze there instantly. After another moment, an uncontrollable look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"As a result, in line with the ...... Anticipate! In the office, everyone stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

An hour after the final result appeared, Lu Ming received a notification and got the relevant data. After finally confirming that there was indeed a black hole there, he sighed softly.

It is impossible to fully confirm a black hole at this stage, and it is impossible to say that there is a black hole 100% there.

With a probability of more than 99%, it is generally considered that it is indeed a black hole.

It's already dark by now. Outside the window of the hotel where Lu Ming is located, there is a city surrounded by neon lights.

There weren't a few stars in the sky, only the brightest ones twinkling there. Lu Ming recalled the relevant data, and then looked in a direction in the sky.

It was dark, nothing could be seen, nothing was there. But Lu Ming seemed to see the distant space a few light years away, and saw the black hole in the interstellar dust cloud, which was frantically devouring matter.

It is only 8.6 light-years away from Earth. Don't...... Was it really its arrival that led to a series of eucalyptus that took place on Earth?

led to the birth of several masters, led to the inexplicable suicide of thousands of people, and led to the tragic situation of thousands of families...... As early as after Lu Ming summed up the three elements, that is, the reversal of cause and effect, the confusion of time, and the loss of information, Lu Ming faintly thought of this possibility.

This is in some agreement with the current physical theory of conjecture about the physical characteristics that occur around the black hole or inside the black hole.

Or, to put it another way, only a celestial body like a black hole, which has almost broken through the current physical limits, has the theoretical possibility of causing such a strange phenomenon.

Later, after seeing and talking to researcher Hu Xiaozheng's published paper, Lu Ming knew some theoretical possibilities.

This led to the final decision to search for black holes around the solar system. Even he himself was a little unexpected, and this search was really found.

Originally...... There really is an active black hole near the solar system. Is this a coincidence?

Of course, it could be a coincidence. But...... Lu Ming is first based on one

"Prophecy", there is

The expectation that "there is a black hole around the solar system" did not lead to the actual search, not the discovery of the black hole first, and then the reason for the connection between the two things.

And make this

The premise of "prophecy" is the series of events in the fate of the eucalyptus and one's own speculation. This in itself implies a certain tendency, which means that there is indeed a high probability that there is some kind of correlation between the two things.

And if this correlation does exist, that is, the series of events that happened on Earth were all caused by the influence of this black hole that is too close to the solar system, then this is how the whole thing happened.

In the vicinity of black holes, there will be some strange phenomena that are beyond the current theoretical level, such as:

"Borrowing quality from the future, resulting in an abnormal increase in quality at the moment", and

"A fate that must happen in the future, and there will be an abnormal decrease in quality one day in the future."

Looking at the process from another angle, it is the increase in quality

The "results" are here. And the quality reduces this

The "why" is in the future. Cause and effect are inverted. There is confusion in the timeline. How similar is this to the fateful eucalyptus, where the victim first commits suicide inexplicably, and then the reason for the suicide appears in the future?

From the microcosm to the macrocosm, from the inexplicable appearance or disappearance of a particle, to some human behaviors in the macrocosm, there seems to be a big gap, but the distance from the microcosm to the macrocosm may not be as big as imagined.

Although it is not clear how the process progresses from micro to macro, it is sufficient to assume that the link does exist.

At this moment, the key evidence found by Wenchengcheng's team that there is indeed a black hole only 8.6 light-years away from the Earth fills in the last large gap in Lu Ming's logic.

Lu Ming looked fixedly at the direction where the black hole was located, and his heart was full of thoughts. After a long time, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Dingshan's number.

At this moment, in the Blue Lake City base, in the command hall, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei both looked heavy.

For hundreds of families, there are hundreds of special service teams busy on the front line. In the last month, the situation has not been good.

Several families that had already shown signs of bad luck had suffered irreversible misfortune, and although some dangers had been niphalized in the bud through their own efforts, there were still three families that suffered irreversible bad luck.

Bankruptcy, family ruin, illness, car accident, accident...... This

The state of "I have done my best, but the result has not improved in the slightest" is the most tormenting of people's hearts.

is not only torturing the victim's family, but also Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

"Captain, does it really make sense for us to do this? ......" He Wei looked dark. Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment and said firmly: "As long as we do it, it will be meaningful." "Jingle bell bell...... The phone rings.

Answering the phone, Zhang Dingshan heard Lu Ming's voice.

"Captain, I've made some new discoveries here. I think I've probably found a way to prevent the families of the victims from happening to them. Zhang Dingshan's left fist suddenly clenched, the green tendons on the back of his hand bloomed, and his eyes were suddenly sharp.

But his voice remained calm.

"Good. You're right back. We do it right away. Circumstance...... It's getting worse and worse. ”

"Yes, I'll go back immediately." Lu Ming got on the plane again and rushed back to Blue Lake City overnight. After a few hours of flying, the plane came to the skies over the city of Blue Lagoon.

Looking at the lights of the city in Blue Lake City and feeling the prosperity and tranquility of the city, Lu Ming's heart was full of different tastes.

He couldn't be sure that his solution would work. But he believes that this approach is likely to be effective.

It's just that those who have already suffered bad luck, and those who have been because of

The deceased who committed suicide by "cursing" has nothing to do with it.

"Do your best and do as much as you can."
