Annihilation of the solar system

In the university's astrophysics laboratory, Xia Lan and Wei Xu were packing their things and preparing to go to the cafeteria for dinner. Suddenly, several figures walked in outside the door. When they looked up, they turned out to be Wu Fan, Liu Mengzhu and Lin Tianyu. Everyone met each other.

With a surprised smile on his face, Liu Mengzhu had a pretentious look on his face:

"Sister Lan, you called us that day and asked us to come back without saying anything. But when we got back to school, people from the Security Bureau questioned us about Oumuamua for a long time, and finally signed a confidentiality agreement before letting us

Let’s go. Isn’t there really a problem with Oumuamua?”

Wu Fan and Lin Tianyu also looked at Xia Lan with question marks on their faces. Xia Lan glanced at Wei Xu and smiled helplessly:

"I can't tell you more about Oumuamua now, but you should know about it soon. By the way, I have prepared the information you want about suspected Venusian life forms."

After saying that, Xia Lan turned around and took out three USB flash drives from the desk drawer and handed them to Liu Mengzhu. When she was about to hand them over, Xia Lan stopped her hand:

"These are all internal information. Although there is no confidentiality level now, they must not be shared outside."

Liu Mengzhu snatched the three USB flash drives from Xia Lan's hand and gave one to each of Wu Fan and Lin Tianyu:

"I know, Sister Lan!"

Lin Tianyu Mosuo said with the USB flash drive in his hand:

"This discovery also confirms that the core of our detection plan - the formula of life - is very likely to be correct."

Xia Lan nodded:

"At present, it seems to be roughly correct, but it is not ruled out that there are still errors. From the current situation, the conditions for the existence of life may not be as harsh as we imagined. The specific precise correction will have to wait for the next step of the Venus Space Laboratory and the upper atmosphere.

The shuttle machine can’t complete it until it gets the actual data.”

Lin Tianyu said thoughtfully:

"I remember that we also used the life formula to apply the life formula to Europa and Titan. The probability of life existing is not low. If the conditions are relaxed, then the possibility of life existing on those two moons is also very high.

possible?"

Xia Lan replied:

"Theoretical speculation should be yes. The Academy of Sciences also plans to start a plan to detect life on Jupiter, Saturn and their satellites after the Venus Space Laboratory."

A girlish smile appeared on Liu Mengzhu's already immature face:

"If Venus, Callisto and Europa are all confirmed, then our solar system, oh no, it should be said that the universe will no longer be the desert of life we ​​think, but a forest full of flowers of life.

Now. We are no longer alone in the universe.”

When they were no longer lonely, Xia Lan and Wei Xu glanced at each other to prove it. Thinking of what they had discovered in Oumuamua a few days ago, the current "no longer alone" was not at all in their hearts.

Romantic, but with a touch of coldness and fear.

Lin Tianyu held the USB flash drive in his hand and said leisurely:

"There is still a long way to go between the discovery of extraterrestrial life and the discovery of extraterrestrial civilization. This distance may be much longer than the time from when we did not discover extraterrestrial life to the discovery of extraterrestrial life. I think the evolution of human civilization itself is

It is an extremely small probability event, and the distribution of civilizations in the universe may be very rare. If we add the distance of light-year level units, I think the probability that we can find alien civilizations is still very small."

Wu Fan is much more optimistic:

"No matter how small the probability is, it will definitely happen. At least we may soon identify the cornerstone of civilization."

Liu Mengzhu put the USB flash drive into his bag:

"Okay, okay! Don't talk here anymore, we should go have a good meal today to celebrate Sister Lan's great discovery. We are all hungry now."

Wei Xu on the side became interested:

"Yes, yes, hurry up and eat. Eat a good meal. I have been eating in the cafeteria and simple meals for several days. I can't bear it anymore."

After saying that, several people walked out of the laboratory talking and laughing.

Four days later, at the Space Flight Control Center, although it was already late at night, the lights were brightly lit in the control room. In the small conference room where you could see the control room, there were full ashtrays, turbid air, and buzzing sounds.

Ventilation aggravated the already anxious atmosphere. Minister Zhong and Director Yin looked at the control room below with dull eyes, while Xia Jigang was pacing back and forth.

"Report, the seventh laser target calibration failed, completed!"

A voice came from the intercom on the conference table that made the atmosphere even more anxious. A trace of anger was clearly visible on Xia Jigang's face, Director Yin's brows furrowed tighter, and only Minister Zhong only had a slight tremor between his brows.

Xia Jigang couldn't help but sigh and said anxiously:

"Hey, Director Yin! Is it possible or not? This is...hey..."

Minister Zhong looked at the watch on his wrist, his tone was calm but his words contained a heavy burden:

"How long until the detection window closes?"

Director Yin’s voice trembled slightly:

"There's less than an hour left...well...we still have time to do another proofreading."

Minister Zhong nodded lightly and said nothing. Xia Jigang leaned down and put his hands on the conference table, looking at Director Yin fiercely:

"Is success guaranteed?"

Director Yin was forced back a few minutes by the oncoming momentum. He stood up after being silent for a few seconds and said in a still trembling voice:

"Please rest assured, two leaders, I will personally go down and watch them do it to ensure success!"

Xia Jigang glanced at Minister Zhong, who was calm and confident, and nodded to him.

After Director Yin left the house, Xia Jigang also slumped down on the chair. He also knew that he had lost control of his emotions just now. He took a few deep breaths to adjust his mentality, and then he came to Minister Zhong and forced a smile on his face:

"Minister Zhong, this operation is indeed very difficult. The original design distance between the three satellites was 3 million kilometers, but now it has been adjusted to 6.9 million kilometers, which is close to the limit of the design margin. Director Yin and the others will definitely do their best.

OK."

Minister Zhong's face twitched slightly, and he said calmly without leaving the control room under the glass curtain wall:

"Under the premise that it may pose a threat to human civilization, we must do such critical work. Because no one can afford the price of failure, are you right? Vice President Xia."

Xia Jigang was stunned in his seat by these seemingly plain words and could not move. Every word fell on him like a huge burden. At this moment, no matter how sophisticated his political skills were, he could not avoid the consequences of failure in proofreading.

as a result of.

Xia Jigang couldn't speak anymore and could only sit on the chair with clenched fists and wait for the news below.

In the empty and cold space, the three Tai Chi gravitational wave laser interference satellites form an equilateral triangle with a side length of 6.9 million kilometers as the vertices. Under the remote control of the ground flight control center, they are trying to use their own laser emission

The laser is used to illuminate the receiving target of another satellite, and finally the Samsung lasers are connected to form an array.

At this distance, if there is a disturbance in space and time that generates gravitational waves on the order of picometers, when the ripples of space and time pass through an array composed of three satellites, the space and time distortion caused will cause the lasers irradiating each other to produce slight interference displacements, and then

After analysis and calculation, the observation results can be obtained.

And that result affects every person and every ant on the entire planet.
