Annihilation of the solar system

The car plunged into a dense rainstorm not long after driving. The dividing line between the bright sun and the strong wind and rain was as clear as if it were drawn artificially.

Cao Rui drove the car slowly forward in the arrow-like heavy rain. The wipers twitched and waved on the windshield, but they could only ensure that they could see the road ahead clearly for a very short time.

"Lao Zhou, look at these trees on the roadside." Cao Rui glanced at the roadside.

Zhou Cheng was surprised when he saw it. The first two times he passed by here, he didn't notice it, maybe because he was driving too fast or for other reasons. There were almost all the trees on the roadside that were as thick as a bowl, from near to far.

was broken.

For the broken trees closer to the road, the broken parts have been cleared away, leaving only a bare trunk. For the broken trees farther away from the road, the broken crowns and withered branches are still lying in the underground bushes.

inside.

"What happened to these trees?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Cao Rui pointed to a place a little further away. It was a eucalyptus tree that looked like a curved bow. Its trunk was very thick and looked like an old tree. There were not many leaves left on the crown, and it was being blown by the strong wind.

It flew around like a frightened bird.

"This area, oh no, it should be around the base. It seems that it has withstood this kind of strong convective weather for a long time, and the smaller trees were blown directly. Even such a big tree is like this.

Already."

Zhou Cheng understood what Cao Rui meant, and the car gradually moved out of the heavy rain zone, and the rain turned back to a flying drizzle.

"Have you seen everything around here?"

Cao Rui nodded:

"I have been to places with highway access, and the situation is similar to here. Basically, it is a climate anomaly that occurs one or two kilometers away from your high-energy particle research base. According to my observations, the weather in this area should be

More extreme than normal weather."

Zhou Cheng glanced at the pattering rain curtain in front of him, and then looked at the wind and rain gradually receding in the rearview mirror.

"You mean that the climate that should have been above the base has been squeezed to the surroundings?"

Cao Rui waved his hand and smiled:

"I haven't studied the rising convection of hot air in meteorology. But it looks like what you said. Haven't you asked your genius student about it?"

Zhou Cheng sighed lightly:

"I only know now that this weird climate phenomenon is related in time to an experiment being conducted at the base. But the specific connection is not yet clear."

Cao Rui stared at the misty road ahead:

"Then we can find the answer to this matter in another way, and it may be easier to draw a conclusion."

"In what way?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"We can first determine whether this strange climate phenomenon is the purpose of the experiment or a by-product of the experiment."

Zhou Cheng understood what Cao Rui meant, which also pointed out the direction for his verification method after receiving Liu Chaowen's mathematical model of quantum fluctuation experiment.

Because they were driving far away from the industrial area, there were very few vehicles, and there were more weeds and dead branches on the roadside than elsewhere. Outside the car window was the largest playground in Chengdu, which was the city's largest playground before the crisis era.

One of the lively places.

But now, this place is like a cemetery where giants duel. The colorful square bricks are now overgrown with weeds, and no trace of their previous color can be seen. Dark red rust is like coagulated blood, covering the roller coaster track.

The rail supports lying on the ground are covered with vines and plants. In this rainy and foggy scene, they look like the skeletal remains of a giant.

On the main tower of the revolving flying chair, the once colorful paint has been mottled. The steel cable hanging the flying chair swayed slightly in the wind, and the colorful seats looked dilapidated whether they were damaged or covered with dust.

It’s unbearable. And the once tallest revolving flying chair in the country now looks like a broken sword stuck in the ground.

Zhou Cheng subconsciously glanced around the playground, because in his impression the Ferris wheel was the symbol of every playground. Finally, he found the huge wheel lying on the ground covered by shrubs.

.Many of the Ferris wheel cars have been scattered everywhere, and only a rusty triangular support is still standing next to it.

Along the way, Zhou Cheng told Cao Rui everything that happened in the base today. Not long after, the car drove into a dilapidated residential area that looked almost abandoned. Cao Rui led Zhou Cheng into the house. Here and the dilapidated

The appearance was very different, the house was very tidy, and the living facilities and supplies were complete. They turned off their mobile phones in unison.

"This is our 'safe house'. It's useless in this crisis era. After thinking about it, it's better to live here."

Cao Rui said as he pulled away the gray film on the sofa.

"I went to several high-energy particle research center material collection points in the city today, and then retrieved the surveillance video of the only way in and out of the base. I didn't find anything abnormal. Fixed people came out to collect a fixed amount of supplies. But since then

According to surveillance, Liu's car still enters and exits the base occasionally, but Liu Chaowen has not been directly seen leaving the base."

Zhou Cheng nodded, his face full of doubts:

"I went to talk to Chaowen and Lao Liu today. On the surface, everything seems normal, but I always feel that Chaowen made this scene specifically for me. He wanted me to feel that everything is normal."

Cao Rui handed over a cigarette:

"Hey, I'm talking about Lao Zhou. You said before that the low-energy experiment was the main cause of the abnormal weather. And Liu Chaowen didn't directly come up with the mathematical model basis you wanted. You can't use your reputation as a professor at Zhou University

And prestige, ask him to come up with what you want immediately, and then ask for real-time monitoring of the experiment."

Zhou Cheng smiled bitterly:

"Haha, Lao Cao, if you had told me this idea a few years ago, I might have actually considered it. But now, Liu Chaowen has made such a great contribution to crisis warning and has been engaged in cutting-edge science for generations.

An achievement that no one could achieve. Now it can be said that from the Academy of Sciences to EDA, the entire scientific community revolves around him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to build such a large-scale particle accelerator on the moon because of his request. If I stand up and question him now, it will be the entire scientific community and even the entire human race. Do you think it will be effective?

not to mention..."

"What's more, if Liu Chaowen really has a problem, this will alert the enemy." Cao Rui took over Zhou Cheng's unfinished words.

Zhou Cheng nodded silently, and the two dim figures in the room remained motionless, with only the lingering smoke hovering leisurely in the room.

"Sometimes I wonder if we have thought wrong. Everything Liu Chaowen did from beginning to end was to ensure the survival of mankind. If it weren't for him, we might not even know that the enemy is already moving. etc.

When two bands of light brighter than the Milky Way appeared in the sky, we really had no choice but to leave it to fate." Zhou Cheng's voice was deep, and his words were full of doubts about himself and the world.

"Do you believe in a creator?" Cao Rui's question made Zhou Cheng smile lightly, but the smile quickly disappeared because Cao Rui's determined eyes did not seem to be joking with him. He stood up and walked to the window to look.

The windy and rainy world was silent for a long time:

"No, of course I don't believe it. But this world is too precisely designed to be the product of natural evolution. On a microscopic scale, any slight change in a basic constant will cause our world to change after the Big Bang.

Everything will collapse. If there really is a Creator, it cannot be a human God. It must be some kind of law and law."

Cao Rui's stubble-covered face put on a bit of a smile again. He walked up to Zhou Cheng and patted him on the shoulder:

"Yes, if the Creator does not have human nature, then there cannot be unreasonable good and unreasonable evil in this world. All of these have causes and effects."

Zhou Cheng suddenly realized, he turned around and looked at Cao Rui anxiously:

"you mean?"

Cao Rui nodded:

"Instead of believing in gratuitous kindness, I would rather believe in another basic law of nature that we are already familiar with - the law of the jungle."
