Earth Era

If Zhao Lan hadn't seen these scenes with his own eyes, Zhao Lan would never have believed that such a terrifying monster was hidden in such darkness. No matter what kind of power is used, it is impossible to describe the terror of this power. It is too extreme and too invincible.

It took Zhao Lan a long time to recover from the shock. Rodriguez happened to turn off the monitoring screen of the black hole at this time, and then said to Zhao Lan with a smile: "Is there anything else you want to know?"

"You... no, how did your boss get it in the first place? Don't tell me that it was cultivated from an ultra-micro black hole, that's impossible. Things like black holes... are completely beyond the limits of our human technology." Zhao Lan asked feebly.

This base has given Zhao Lan too much shock. It made Zhao Lan feel like she was living in a TV series before, so false and unreal. Zhao Lan could never imagine that such an astonishing truth was hidden in a corner that he had never touched.

Humans have actually had the ability to create micro black holes for a long time. As early as hundreds of years ago, people could create miniature black holes through large particle colliders. The specific principle of creating a black hole is to use extremely high energy levels to create a black hole with a mass of only proton level in an instant - mass and energy are actually one. If a black hole can be created with extremely high mass concentration, then extremely high Of course, energy concentration can also create black holes. A particle collider is such an instrument. After two beams of particles moving extremely close to the speed of light collide, their instantaneous energy level can even reach the energy intensity of a few microseconds after the Big Bang. As a result, an ultra-micro black hole becomes Created within an ion collider. However, the smaller the black hole, the shorter the time it can exist. A black hole with a proton-level mass, calculated according to the lifespan formula, can only exist for a Planck-scale time. And because the microscopic world is extremely empty, There is basically no matter around a proton black hole, and it has no ability to eat. So it evaporated just a moment after it was created.

Obviously, even if the science and technology of human civilization develops for several hundred more years. No human civilization has the ability to cultivate a proton black hole into a macroscopic black hole. That's why Zhao Lan had such questions. This black hole cannot be created by humans, so where did it come from?

"The boss picked it up accidentally." Rodriguez said with a smile, "Did you know? There are actually many black holes around us, and there are endless black holes..."

"But what does this have to do with us? Those are just ultra-micro black holes. Whether they exist or not will not have any impact on us." Zhao Lan questioned.

Zhao Lan can understand what Rodriguez said. According to the latest research results, ultra-micro black holes are actually a ubiquitous thing. Zhao Lan knows. At this moment, around me, on the surface of the earth, even inside the earth, and within the entire solar system... there are endless ultra-miniature black holes that are born and destroyed. They are constantly being created and destroyed. , but whether they are alive or dead, they will not have any impact on the macroscopic world.

These black holes are caused by high-energy cosmic rays. High-energy cosmic rays also have extremely high energy levels, and the energy they contain is no lower than the energy level of the two beams of particles colliding in a particle collider. Since particle colliders can create ultra-micro black holes, high-energy cosmic rays can also create ultra-micro black holes. After they collide with matter particles, ultra-miniature black holes may be produced. High-energy cosmic rays are almost everywhere, so ultra-miniature black holes are also everywhere.

The solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field can resist high-energy cosmic rays, but it is inevitable that a very small dose of high-energy cosmic rays will reach the Earth's surface. This means. At this moment, there might be hundreds of millions of ultra-micro black holes inside Zhao Lan's body. They are born and destroyed, destroyed and born again...but they will not have any impact on Zhao Lan.

That's why Zhao Lan became suspicious of Rodriguez's words. Because there is no essential difference between these ultra-micro black holes and the black holes produced inside particle colliders, humans do not have the technology to cultivate black holes in particle colliders, and there is no way to cultivate ultra-micro black holes created by high-energy cosmic rays.

Faced with Zhao Lan's doubts, Rodriguez smiled and shook his head: "Oh, that's not what I meant, I was just making an analogy. As you know, a black hole is very difficult to discover, except for it and the matter around it. Apart from the interaction of the You can't look for black holes by evaporating them. This means that there may be many black holes in the starry sky that we can't see, and we know nothing about them."

Zhao Lan couldn't deny what Rodriguez said, but Zhao Lan didn't know what Rodriguez's words meant.

"Then..." Rodriguez continued with a smile, "Let's assume this situation. If there is a miniature black hole, well, the mass level is about hundreds of thousands of tons, and such a black hole suddenly enters the solar system, Even if they reach the edge of the earth...can we humans discover them?"

A black hole with a mass of only hundreds of thousands of tons has a lifespan of no more than ten days. It is difficult to imagine that it would travel such a long distance in ten days, but the point of Rodriguez's words is It was obvious that he was not here, so Zhao Lan did not dwell on this issue: "We probably won't be able to find it."

"What if you happened to be only a few kilometers or even a few hundred meters away from it? Can you spot it?" Rodriguez said with a smile: "More than ten years ago, the boss took his own spacecraft to explore the environment. When the earth was flying, he suddenly saw a gamma ray radiation source near him. So the boss was very curious and approached the thing cautiously. Then through observation, he found that it turned out to be a miniature black hole... It was moving in an approximate direction. It is orbiting the Earth at a speed of 7.7 kilometers per second, and is losing its mass very quickly through radiation. If there is no external interference, it will probably gradually move away from the Earth as it continues to lose mass, and eventually break away from the Earth's gravity. The bondage, then ran into the endless space, and finally dissipated in space."

"Including the boss, none of us know where it came from, what kind of life it has experienced, where it was born, or whether it was naturally formed but man-made... We don't know anything. The boss just I discovered it just a dozen days before it dissipated, then carefully cultivated it, and finally found a way to bring it back to Earth, and this is what we see now." Rodriguez spread his hands and said .

Zhao Lan shook his head in disbelief. The probability of this happening is much lower than the probability of a person winning the lottery jackpot every day for several years. Based on Zhao Lan's life experience, it is difficult for Zhao Lan to believe such a thing. Even if a person is hit by a gold mine while walking and becomes the richest man in mankind, it is far more credible than just picking up a black hole while walking on the road.

"Are you sure...this is true?" Zhao Lan asked.

"Of course I'm not sure." Rodriguez shook his head, "But the boss told us so. Maybe there are other hidden secrets, but if the boss doesn't tell us, we won't explore these things. Just be loyal to the boss. Having said that, who can have no secrets at all? Let alone a person like the boss. Maybe you will get to know the boss in the future, and the boss will tell you more secret things."

Therefore, Li Yunfan became much more mysterious in Zhao Lan's mind. The actual process of obtaining this miniature black hole...except for Li Yunfan, I am afraid no one in the world knows.

But the understatement in Rodriguez's words still frightened Zhao Lan. In Rodriguez's words, the description that Li Yunfan obtained this black hole from outside the earth should be quite credible. In other words, Li Yunfan really tried to find a way to bring this black hole back from outside the earth. to the earth, and then placed it in this base.

Now of course Zhao Lan knew that there was no accident during this process, but Zhao Lan still couldn't help but feel scared. If even a little accident occurs during this "bringing back" process and eventually causes the black hole to fall into the earth, the consequences will be catastrophic and the earth will be completely destroyed. More than ten years ago, Zhao Lan was probably still struggling with problems in middle school, and occasionally had a little ignorant longing for things like love. Who would have thought that at that time, somewhere in the corner of the earth, there was a crazy person? The guy brought back a black hole that could completely destroy the earth...

"Okay." Zhao Lan said, "Since your boss said it was picked up by accident, then just treat it as picked up. Now, please hand over all your research materials on this black hole to me, and provide I offer an undisturbed room where I need to stay for a while.”

"I am happy to serve you. Please come with me." Rodriguez said politely. (To be continued ~^~)
