Earth Era

Through the description in Rodriguez's file, Zhao Lan roughly knew the interaction between the strange space and the earth at this moment. Perhaps due to the Earth's gravity or some other special reasons, the team of scientists led by Rodriguez did not observe changes in geometric values ​​on the Earth and the Earth's near-Earth space. In other words, the Earth's The space is normal. But that strange space has almost wrapped the entire earth within its own body, and it is unknown how far it extends outside. In other words, the extent of the influence of this strange space cannot be determined for the time being.

But at this moment, even the detectors that are farthest from the earth and are equipped to observe distant celestial bodies have also observed the phenomenon of distant celestial bodies abnormally disappearing. This is enough to prove that the entire solar system space within the orbit of Pluto has probably been affected. .

However, the impact of this strange space on the space of the solar system cannot be understood simply by concepts such as "filling" or "occupying". Scientists need to build extremely complex mathematical models to describe this.

Research Institute 105 and the team of base scientists led by Li Yunfan belong to two non-overlapping research teams. The 105 Research Institute, which belongs to the government, knows about the abnormal disappearance of stars from the perspective of the earth, but it does not know about the existence of that strange space. The base scientist team belonging to Li Yunfan knows about the existence of the strange space and has already They carried out quite detailed and in-depth research on it, but perhaps due to negligence, or perhaps because there was no corresponding observation force arranged around the earth, they discovered the disappearance of those stars, but did not find that there were more and more stars. More and more stars are disappearing, and the distance between them and the earth is getting closer and closer.

If these two aspects of information can be combined, then the truth of the matter will be revealed. Now, Zhao Lan acts as a bridge between the two scientist teams. Zhao Lan is a member of Research Institute 105 and has access to the latest research results at the government level. He also has access to research information from the base's team of scientists because of Li Yunfan's authorization.

Zhao Lan closed the document in his hand, then closed his eyes and thought for a while.

Zhao Lan can basically be sure of the authenticity of the information in his hand, but... Zhao Lan is always not 100% sure. Zhao Lan has the rigorous thinking that a scientist should have. This rigorous thinking told Zhao Lan before seeing the observation data with his own eyes. No one's account can be trusted. So Zhao Lan must find a way to verify this matter.

Zhao Lan pressed the alarm bell, and Rodriguez walked into the office and asked Zhao Lan: "Miss Zhao Lan, have you read this information?"

Zhao Lan nodded: "I have finished reading the information... I would like to ask you, within my authority, can I take this information away? Or... tell others about it?"

This information is really important, if it can be brought to the 105 Research Institute. Or if Zhao Lan passes on this information, then the dilemma faced by Research Institute 105 will be easily solved. Research Institute 105 naturally has the power to verify all of this, and if all of this can be verified, then the truth of the matter will be revealed to the world, and human civilization can focus on finding solutions to problems, and Instead of continuing to dwell on "what happened" and continue to waste time.

This is an extremely important event for the entire human civilization. In the end, Zhao Lan will publish this information no matter what, but if he can get Rodriguez's authorization. There is no doubt that I will save a lot of trouble. This is the best of both worlds. Zhao Lan didn't want his future life to be threatened by such a powerful underground force.

Rodriguez thought for a moment and then replied: "I do not have the authority to agree or reject your request. This requires you to communicate with the boss in person. Whether this information can eventually be leaked depends on the boss's intention."

Zhao Lan thought for a while, then sighed. Said: "Okay, I will personally ask your boss about this matter. But... there is one thing I think I can probably tell you. This should be regarded as your negligence. You could have discovered this. , but it seems you didn’t notice it.”

Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What happened?"

"About the abnormal disappearance of distant celestial bodies." Zhao Lan replied, "This matter is not as simple as you think. According to the current observation information... we have confirmed that more than a thousand distant celestial bodies have disappeared from human beings." have disappeared from the observational field of view so far. This number is still increasing rapidly, and the distance between those celestial bodies that have disappeared abnormally and the earth is getting closer and closer. Mr. Rodriguez, I think you You can probably understand what that means.”

Rodriguez thought for a moment, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Miss Zhao Lan...is it really what you said? This...this matter is too serious, it means The Earth, no, it is possible that the curvature of space in which the entire solar system is located is constantly increasing, and we are constantly "sinking". Eventually, our solar system, or the Earth, may break away from this universe and eventually fall into a space that is completely unfamiliar to us. .”

Rodriguez wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly: "The government seems to have increased the intensity of reconnaissance of our base recently, and the boss doesn't know where he has gone, so our actions have been much restrained recently. Not even a large-scale sky survey has been carried out. I really didn’t expect that such a major thing would happen during our dormant period. Miss Zhao Lan, thank you for telling us about this matter. I immediately Organize manpower to investigate this matter and carry out subsequent relevant calculations.”

Zhao Lan said: "Mr. Rodriguez, you should know my identity. I work for the 105 Research Institute, which is affiliated with the government, and the 105 Research Institute is conducting research on this abnormal disappearance of distant celestial bodies. Agency, you also know what this matter means, so I want to tell the government this information and use the power of the government to study this matter to find ways to avoid all of us and our planet from falling into crisis. .”

After all, the government's scientific research power is much stronger than the scientific research power in this base. The reason why the government did not discover the strange space, or the reason why this base was able to discover the strange space, is entirely because of Li Yunfan's luck. Well, just passing through that strange space at the right time does not mean that the government's scientific research power is not as good as here. In the face of this crisis that may affect all mankind, Zhao Lan still trusts the power of the government.

If there is an organization that can turn the tide and save the earth and human civilization from crisis, then this organization can only be a government that represents the entire human civilization and can mobilize the resources of the entire human civilization, and it will definitely not be some other institution or organization.

Faced with Zhao Lan's inquiry, Rodriguez thought for a second and then replied: "Disclosing this information may lead to the leakage of relevant information about our base. As you also know, the existence of our base is somewhat sensitive to the government. This matter is really not within my authority. You'd better seek the boss's opinion directly. Only the boss can make a decision on such a matter."

"Okay, I will ask your boss." Zhao Lan sighed, "Okay, I have obtained the information I want. I am not interested in other things about your base and don't want to explore it, so now …Can I leave here?”

Rodriguez immediately said: "Miss Zhao Lan, you are a distinguished guest with A-level permissions. Of course you have the right to decide your own itinerary. How can our base restrict your freedom? If you want to leave, I will Just arrange for someone to take you out."

"Okay, please send me to Hope City. I will handle the rest myself." Zhao Lan said.

Hope City is the city that Zhao Lan arrived at before coming to this base. This is a stretch of high mountains. Without suitable transportation, Zhao Lan would not be able to return to Hope City alone.

So Zhao Lan returned to Hope City about an hour later. After saying goodbye to the person who sent him here, looking at the bustling flow of people in Hope City and feeling the power of civilization and technology, Zhao Lan felt quite The feeling of being human again.

Zhao Lan turned around and cast his gaze into the distance again. From here, you can vaguely see the shadows of the mountains in the distance, and if you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, Zhao Lan would never have believed that there was such a thing deep in the mountains that the human government had not noticed. Huge base.

Suppressing his curiosity about the secret base, especially the fully enclosed rectangular building in the secret base, Zhao Lan took out the communication device he carried with him, and then said: "Li Yunfan... there is one thing I need to ask for. Your agreement. I have found the information I want in your base, so now I want to ask you, can I tell the scientists in Research Institute 105 about this information?"

After saying this, Zhao Lan put away the communication equipment. Zhao Lan knew that this signal would first be transmitted to his own spacecraft parked in the Earth Port, and then sent by his own spacecraft to Li Yunfan in that strange universe. (To be continued ~^~)
