Earth Era

Zhao Lan is undoubtedly a junior in the scientific community, and this is his first time to participate in such a high-level meeting. Zhao Lan couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of being able to directly face so many scientific masters and idols at a conference.

The meeting started in five days, and there was still plenty of time, but Zhao Lan and Zhang Hong did not dare to neglect it. The two of them boarded Zhao Lan's Sylvia spacecraft and once again embarked on the journey back to Earth.

The psychological shadow caused by the last incident on Zhao Lan has not faded away, but this time he is accompanied by Zhang Hong, and Zhang Hong already has a certain status and reputation in the scientific community. Traveling with such a scientist is not afraid of what will happen again. Accident.

The two hurriedly returned to the Earth, and then discussed some details with some scientists on the Earth. They also made some adjustments to some of the data, logic and calculation processes in this document. Time slipped away quietly. This time It was time for a meeting related to the fate of the entire human civilization to be held.

The meeting was held in a large auditorium of the central government of the capital city. Participants included all important figures in human society. Not only scientists from various disciplines, but also figures in the government, and even the heads of human civilization participated in this meeting in person. The total number of attendees has exceeded 2,000.

After the head of state delivered his opening speech, the first person invited to the rostrum by the host of the meeting to speak was Zhao Lan. Experiencing such an occasion for the first time, Zhao Lan felt a little excited and a little ashamed at the same time. He was excited because he was able to receive such treatment as a junior in the scientific community. He was ashamed because Zhao Lan knew that all these achievements had little to do with him. These results were made by a team of scientists hidden in Li Yunfan's base who were outside the mainstream scientific community, and they were just using a name.

"I am not a vain person. If one day you can stand in the sun, I will definitely return all these honors to you." Zhao Lan thought silently.

Standing under the spotlight, standing in front of the microphone, facing thousands of pairs of eyes in the auditorium, Zhao Lan calmed down his excitement, and then opened his mouth.

"Hello everyone, I am a researcher from Research Institute 105. My name is Zhao Lan." Zhao Lan said slowly, "I think everyone already knows what happened in our civilization sky recently... from about a few days ago It started a few months ago. I observed the first abnormal disappearance of a celestial body, which was a distant quasar more than eight billion light-years away from us. At the last moment, it was well within the field of view of my telescope, but The next moment, it’s gone.”

"To this end, I submitted an observation report to the Central Academy of Sciences, and then I learned that the phenomenon of abnormal disappearance of stars was not an isolated case. In the following months, the number quickly climbed to millions. There were already hundreds Tens of thousands of known and recorded celestial bodies have disappeared from the sight of our human civilization. At the beginning, we didn’t know what this meant, but by chance, I discovered that somewhere in the space around our earth , the value of pi is not the same as the value of pi we calculated..."

Zhao Lan spent more than ten minutes briefly describing what happened and his findings, and then used virtual animation to explain Lobachevsky space, space curvature, and the fall of the earth to all participants. Related events.

Most of the scientists attending the meeting were actually unaware of the incident. Yesterday, they were still working at various space stations and research institutes throughout the inner solar system and the surface of the earth. After receiving an urgent notice to attend this meeting, they received such heavy news and learned that... the earth is very dangerous. It may fall out of this universe after a while.

"Based on the calculation of the curvature of space, we speculate that if there are no accidents, the earth will completely break away from the current universe in less than five years and completely enter another completely unfamiliar space. By then. In our night sky The stars will disappear completely, not a single one will be left. Even the sun will disappear. Because in the calculation, the sun will not fall into that strange space with the earth. As for what is in that space, We don’t know what kind of environment it is. But we are almost certain that in that strange space, there will not be a star that happens to be in a stable state waiting for us at the right distance."

Because he could not reveal anything related to Li Yunfan, Zhao Lan did not tell anything about the empty universe. Anyway, in this incident, it doesn't matter whether the relevant information about the empty universe is released or not.

"And this is undoubtedly a catastrophe for our human civilization. Our greatest possibility and luckiest possibility is to fall into an empty space. In that space, it may be the closest to us. Stars are millions of light-years away. We don't have any group of stars within ten light-years of us that could serve as a springboard for developing interstellar navigation. In other words, we would be trapped and dead on Earth, After all the resources on earth are exhausted, our human civilization will perish."

After Zhao Lan said this, a scientist raised his hand. So Zhao Lan signaled: "If you have any questions, please tell me."

The scientist said: "Although I don't know the details of this star disaster, through your story, I still have a question, that is, how did you determine that the space where the earth is about to fall is very small?" Where is the open space?”

Zhao Lan replied: "It is precisely because the earth keeps falling into that strange space that the stars in our field of vision disappear. And if there are many stars in that universe, the light of those stars should also be caused by the fall of the earth. Only some of them reach the Earth. The changes we observe on the Earth should be: some of the old celestial bodies disappear, and some new celestial bodies appear. But we only observed the disappearance of the old celestial bodies, but not the new ones. celestial bodies appeared, so we can basically be sure that the strange space must be empty. Well, we have not observed the emergence of new X-ray sources or gamma ray sources, or new radiation sources in any other waveband. This It also proves the emptiness of that universe from another aspect.”

The scientist nodded and sat down. Then, another scientist raised his hand.

"I have been initially exposed to the content of this star disaster before, and I have always had an idea in my mind, that is, since we have known the curvature of the space in advance and established a space model for this, then we can completely calculate it Find a "point" that is flat in space near the earth and is not affected by the surrounding curved environment. From this point, we should be able to observe all the celestial objects that disappear from the earth's field of vision. I wonder if you have ever thought about this. Has the problem been verified?”

"We have verified it." Zhao Lan nodded, "The verification result is that all the stars that seemed to disappear on the earth and nearby have all reappeared at that specific observation point. This is powerful It proves our view that "the stars themselves have not changed, it is the earth or the environment around the earth that has changed, so they cannot be observed." At the same time, this verification also shows that our knowledge of Lobachevsky space The models and calculations are absolutely correct, which also means that our prediction that the Earth will fall into unfamiliar space is also correct. We have detailed information about this verification process, which will follow later. A detailed introduction to the incident will be distributed to everyone."

"Okay, thank you." The scientist thanked him and sat down in his seat.

Another scientist stood up: "Excuse me, have you done any research on the cause of the formation of this twisted space?"

Zhao Lan replied: "There has been research, but there is no gain at all. Maybe it is a twisted space weapon thrown by a super alien civilization passing here, or it may be because of some unknown things that happened in the universe. A special area formed by physical processes... There are so many possible reasons, who knows what is going on."

The scientist sat down, and another scientist raised his own question: "I noticed that the time of the abnormal disappearance of the celestial body almost coincided with the time of the explosion of the star Eta Carinae. I would like to ask if there is any connection between the two. Have you done any research on this matter?"

"My team and I have conducted research." Zhao Lan replied, "Although we are not sure, we believe that the relationship between the two is basically not a coincidence, and there is a very high probability of a causal relationship between them. We The most likely scenario is that there is a small distorted space area in the solar system that has no impact on the earth and the solar system space. This area was created due to the stimulation or influence of the energy emitted by the explosion of Eta Carinae. It suddenly expanded and eventually affected the earth, leading to our current crisis. Regarding the possible interaction of high-energy gamma rays and neutrino bursts with space, we will attach detailed research information later. Send it to everyone.”

Another scientist stood up and said, "I have a question for you. Excuse me... There are so many planets in the universe, and even in our solar system, there are dozens of dwarf planets and above. There are so many, so why is it the earth? Why is it the earth that has to suffer this kind of misfortune?" (To be continued~^~)
