Blue Lagoon base, conference room. After Lu Qingliang was also notified to go online, the four of them gathered.

"Lu Ming, tell me quickly, what did you find? What the hell is going on? ”

He Wei was full of eagerness. The same is true for Lu Qingliang. Although Zhang Dingshan's expression was still calm, his eyes betrayed his heart.

In the face of this kind of thing, especially as a participant, of course, you will have an extreme desire for the truth of the incident.

Lu Ming organized the language and said, "This starts with one of my conjectures. At that time, after summing up those three elements, I thought of a strange existence......"

He began to tell slowly, from visiting researcher Hu Xiaozheng, to visiting the Black Hole Hunter Organization, organizing a search, and so on, until now.

"Black holes? Is the black hole approaching the solar system and affecting us? ”

He Wei was a little confused. She couldn't figure out the logic and connections too clearly. After thinking about it, she still couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it, and just asked, "If it's a black hole, how do you solve it?" 8.6 light-years, we humans can't even land on Mars, so far away, it's impossible to exert any influence there.

Even if we could go that far, it wouldn't be of any use. ”

"The solution is actually quite simple."

Lu Ming said in a deep voice: "Just like the guess made by researcher Hu Xiaozheng, the increase in mass at this moment is destined for the future with a fate of 'there must be a decrease in quality'.

This is like our case, where the cursed person commits suicide, which dooms the fate that 'there will be a reason' in the future.

There is no change in this.

But......

Although there will be a decrease in mass in the future, from which object will it decrease? Is it a table or a stool, a collider body, or a room ceiling? We can't change our fate, so can we change the way we achieve it? For example, can we find a way to get this reduced mass out of this table? Or out of the wall?

In the current case, although those who committed suicide must have a reason for suicide, ...... Can we find a way to make the cause of those who commit suicide no longer the tragic experience of those close to them, but the rest? ”

Lu Qingliang was still a little dazed. He Wei was thoughtful, and Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "I understand." ”

He Wei suddenly cheered up: "I also understand." In fact, at the end of the day, the suicidal behavior of those who commit suicide only needs a reason. There must be a reason for this, but it doesn't matter if it's the tragic experience of the intimate or the rest. In that case, let's give him a reason! Give him a reason to commit suicide! As long as there is enough reason and justification, their close ones will not have to be miserable anymore! ”

Lu Qingliang finally woke up at this moment.

"I see...... This must be based on some kind of 'economical' principle, right? After all, the tragic experience of the intimate person, or the harm done to the intimate person by the intimate person, is the most direct, simple, and convenient cause of the cursed person's suicide. If we do not interfere, this predestined 'fate' will be presented in the most economical way. So no matter how much we try to protect them, to prevent them from being harmed, it won't help. But if we participate in giving the reasons for the rest of the suicides of those who are cursed, we can prevent their close friends from being the cause......"

For example, it is like a family with a thousand dollars in cash at any given time.

And the child of this family, one day owed a debt of 1,000 yuan. For some reason, this debt must be repaid. As a result, it is destined to a future fate of "the child must come up with a thousand yuan to pay back".

If there is no other intervention, the child could only take the 1,000 yuan in cash from the home to pay it back, which is equivalent to the fact that in this case, the reason for the victim's suicide was revealed through close friends.

But if another person directly gave the child 1,000 yuan at this moment, he would no longer have to steal the 1,000 yuan in cash from the family, which is equivalent to this case, and the reason for the victim's suicide no longer needs to be presented through his close friends.

At this moment, Lu Ming's plan is to give those victims another reason to commit suicide. In this way, it is very likely that their close ones will be rescued from their fate.

"This plan is promising!"

In the video screen, Lu Qingliang shot the case: "There is really your Lu Ming, you can think of it!" ”

He Wei said solemnly: "Without further ado, we will arrange and formulate a plan immediately." During your absence, things are not going well here. Several have already met with bad luck. The longer it drags on, the more victims there are. ”

Zhang Dingshan groaned slightly, and suddenly asked, "Why Blue Lake City?" Why Wang Quan and those masters? And......

I saw that the black hole is moving at a speed of about 68 kilometers per second relative to the solar system. This is a slow rate compared to a distance of several light-years. That is, at least thousands of years ago, and thousands of years to come, the black hole will be near the solar system.

So, are we all going to be affected by this black hole for so long? After Wang Quan's death, will there be a new master? ”

If this incident is really due to the influence of that black hole, then why is the scope of this incident limited to Blue Lake City? Those survivors, even if they are cursed by Wang Quan, can they be safe and sound as long as they leave Blue Lake City?

Why did that black hole intersect with Blue Lake City?

And, why does the influence of black holes, or the "power" of black holes, follow the instructions of Wang Quan or the rest of the masters? Whoever Wang Quan curses, the power of the black hole will show its ability to whom?

Blue Lake City and Wang Quan, what's so special?

Lu Ming didn't know the answers to these questions at the moment. However, he also has some related speculation.

"The black hole has broken into an interstellar dust cloud at this moment. It was originally dormant, but it was activated by new food. ”

Lu Ming talked about topics that seemed to have nothing to do with these problems: "Through the weakening of the luminosity of distant stars by this interstellar dust cloud, we can roughly measure its density and size.

The conclusion of the Wenchengcheng team's observations is that the width of this interstellar dust cloud is about 400 billion kilometers. The relative velocity of its motion and that of the black hole is about 102 kilometers per second.

At this moment, based on the relative position determination, we can calculate that the time when the black hole broke into this interstellar dust cloud and was activated was about 129 years ago.

Subtracting the 8.6 years it took for the black hole's radiation to reach Earth, that's about 120 years.

Whereas...... Do you know what that number means? ”

Lu Ming looked at Lu Qingliang, and Lu Qingliang was silent. Looking at He Wei, He Wei was a little uncertain and said: "The construction time of the Zhou family archway seems to be not much different from this number. ”

"Yes." Lu Ming nodded: "The truth about the construction of the Zhou family's archway is that the first-generation master punished the Zhou family. At that time, we can confirm that he has mastered this power. This point in time is so close to the point at which the black hole is activated, that I have to wonder if it is not the dormant black hole that really causes the black hole to affect us, but the activated black hole.

Only activated black holes can cause this effect. ”

Zhang Dingshan nodded slightly: "This guess does have some truth. Well...... 102 kilometers per second, 400 billion kilometers wide, has been breaking into 129 years, so ......"

He raised his head and looked at Lu Ming: "At this moment, that black hole should have left the range of this interstellar dust cloud. It should have gone back into hibernation at this point. ”

It only takes about 124 years to pass through this cloud of interstellar dust.

Now, if its observations are correct, it has been out of this interstellar dust cloud for up to 5 years.

Lu Ming shook his head slightly: "But the follow-up, something that we don't know, but it is also possible to transmit at the speed of light, is still reaching the earth in a steady stream." It will take about 3 to 4 years to disappear completely.

If our guess is true, it's pretty easy to verify it. Wait for 3 to 4 years to see if Wang Quan's ability disappears. If it's gone, then we're right. ”

It's only 3 to 4 years, which is not a long time. At least four of you here, if no one dies in an accident, they will surely live to that day.

At the same time, when that day comes, human civilization will completely lose the ability to observe this black hole.

Because there is no food to eat, the dormant black hole emits almost no radiation to the outside world. Except for a little effect caused by the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, it is impossible to see it anymore. Even that little gravitational lensing effect is very difficult to capture.

After all, the mass of this black hole is not very large, it is only about 2.6 times the mass of the sun, which is a veritable small size in the black hole circle.

The black hole at the center of the Milky Way is more than 4 million times the mass of the Sun. In the center of some other river systems, and even in the core of quasars, there are super-giant black holes with masses of more than a billion times the mass of the sun.

"Then verify it when the time comes. If Wang Quan's ability really disappears, then the connection between these two things can be regarded as completely determined. ”

As for what type of correlation is there, what kind of scientific principles it is based on, what kind of mysteries are hidden in black holes, and what is the process of its strict proof, that is the work of scientists, not the work of Action 2.

As long as the logic is self-consistent enough, and there is enough logical proof, the second team can already use this to determine something.

and...... There are questions about the particularity of Blue Lake City and Wang Quan. ”

Lu Ming pondered for a while: "I don't know why it's Wang Quan or why those 'masters' for the time being, but why it's Blue Lake City, I found a little information." ”

"Oh? Is there really something special, unique about Blue Lagoon? ”

"Yes. After highly suspecting that the event was influenced by a black hole that was too close to the solar system, I focused on the physical peculiarities of Blue Lagoon. This check, I really found out something. ”

Lu Ming said slowly: "Gravity." The area on Earth where Blue Lagoon is located is the region with the lowest gravity. ”

"Gravity?!"

IT IS KNOWN THAT THE GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION OF THE EARTH IS ABOUT 9.8 M/S^2. But this is only a rough value and is not exact. At the same time, there are slight differences in different parts of the earth according to local topography, stratum density, earth rotation speed and other factors.

The weight of an object of the same mass will be different where the gravitational acceleration is greatest and where the gravitational acceleration is the smallest. However, this difference is small and does not have any impact on daily life.

The city of Blue Lake is the place where the gravitational acceleration on the Earth's surface is minimal.

Lu Ming said: "I don't know if this factor is the reason why the influence of the black hole only falls on the Blue Lake City area, but at present, we can only make this kind of guess." After all, the rest of Blue Lagoon, the only place in the world, really has nothing to do with black holes and physics. ”

For example, Blue Lagoon also has one of the world's best. It was selected by a boring media out of the world, and it was "among all the cities in the world, Blue Lake is the most popular city for 40-year-old middle-class healthy men to say 'it'".

If you want Lu Ming to agree that it is because of this particularity that there is a connection between Blue Lake City and the black hole, it is better to make Lu Ming believe that the black hole is crazy.

Lu Qingliang asked, "So, why the earth?" ”

"I don't know." Lu Ming shook his head: "However, how can you be sure that there is only the earth?" Maybe it's happening on other planets, but we don't know it. And, similarly, I can answer the question of 'why the solar system?' ”

Lu Qingliang thought about it and had to agree with Lu Ming's point of view.

"Good. The rest of the questions, whether or not they are ultimately the truth, have logically plausible answers, at least for the time being. Only the question of 'why Wang Quan' has not yet been answered. But don't worry about that for now, let's solve the doom that those close to the victim will face. ”

Lu Qingliang looked at Lu Ming again: "How do you plan to operate?" ”

Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "According to the current situation, the reasons for letting the deceased commit suicide under the natural development situation all meet such a criterion, that is: 'If the deceased is still alive at the moment, the situation at the moment will make him choose to commit suicide'." We should also follow this principle and do something that would force him to commit suicide if he were still alive. ”

"Family 725."

Zhang Dingshan directly said the number: "There are only orphans and widows in this family. The daughter is working a summer job, and the mother is doing odd jobs. So far, the family has suffered as many as four crises, and each one is getting worse than the other. Although we have already solved it, we are not confident that it will be solved next time.

Let's use this family as a test subject. ”
