Earth Era

By now, of course, Zhao Lan has completely believed in the existence of black holes, and also believes that Li Yunfan has indeed conducted research on this black hole for more than ten years, but this does not mean that Zhao Lan can completely and completely believe in Li Yunfan's words. . The most critical point is: Zhao Lan has not yet found evidence for why the earth's mass factor should be added when calculating the intensity of energy bursts.

When he came to this base, Zhao Lan brought with him the instrument that could communicate with Li Yunfan. Zhao Lan planned to let Li Yunfan conduct a detailed and thorough test here under the condition that all test verification equipment and test data were complete. Tell yourself a little bit about his conception.

But Zhao Lan soon discovered that this was unrealistic. There are too many and too many research materials, and the experimental data involved are as numerous as the stars in the sky. To completely reproduce these experiments and obtain first-hand experimental data, first of all, it is too late in terms of time. Zhao Lan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, first acknowledging that these experimental data were real, and only intending to understand Li Yunfan's ideas from a scientific and logical perspective, but Zhao Lan later discovered that... this was also not feasible.

If Zhao Lan is given a few years, and Li Yunfan is allowed to be the teacher, and he teaches Zhao Lan thoroughly for a few years, Zhao Lan may be able to master these things, but Zhao Lan will also face a problem. That's... not enough time.

"My wisdom is insufficient, I have to admit it, but it is impossible that there are no people with equal wisdom to you in human civilization. Li Yunfan, can you make all these research data public? I will find a way to explain the source of these data , and then hand them over to the Star Catastrophe Command, and let the people on the executive committee organize scientists to interpret these data... They will definitely be able to understand these things. In this way, we can convince them and make them realize that with the help of large-yield It is not feasible to explode the hydrogen bomb to block the connection between Lobachevsky space and the earth, and it must be done with the help of the power of a black hole."

Facing Zhao Lan's request, Li Yunfan was silent for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Zhao Lan, you think things are too simple. Even if I disclose these research materials. Even if I disclose the existence of my base , leave the matter of this black hole and all the experimental equipment here to the people of the Scientific Research Department. Let them verify the authenticity of these data on the spot... Will the situation change? No, no, they will still I won’t believe it.”

Zhao Lan was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Why?"

"First of all, Zhao Lan, tell me, why do you believe me?" Li Yunfan did not answer Zhao Lan's question. Instead, another question was asked.

"Why do I believe you?" Zhao Lan muttered this sentence to himself, fell into thinking, and did not answer for a long time.

"Yes, if you remove the emotional factors and just think rationally...why do you believe me? First of all, on the one hand, there are the mainstream scientists of human civilization. They not only have the right to speak, but their theories and calculation results also have complete and Solid theoretical support, in comparison. You don’t have time to verify the data used in my calculation process one by one, and you can’t even fully understand my thinking logic. Secondly, I am a thief. I am completely outside the mainstream Outside of the scientific community, I’m afraid you have both good and evil views of me. It’s not a reliable impression... Zhao Lan, you are a kind person, and you have been infected by me while getting along with me, so you Believe me, but you have to understand that this is your emotional choice, not your rational choice."

"Really?" At this moment, Zhao Lan was slightly absent-minded.

"As for the rest of the scientists, what reason do they have to trust me instead of trusting their own calculations? I'm sure. If I fully disclose the existence of my base and all my research data, their reaction will be like this ’s... First, a large number of soldiers with live ammunition will control this place. Satellites in the sky will be aimed at this place, a large number of armed aircraft will fill the sky here, and the government will turn this place into a forbidden place where mosquitoes cannot escape. Then a large number of Scientists will come in, and they will analyze everything inside my base - oh, these actions are actually irrelevant, if they can trust my research data and adopt my conclusions to implement the space blocking plan, and ultimately prevent the earth from falling As for the fate of the empty universe, sacrificing this base is not unacceptable to me, but that kind of thing will not happen."

"When analyzing the data in my base, they will face the same dilemma that you face, that is, insufficient time and the inability to verify experimental data. They cannot determine who the thief Li Yunfan is, but no matter who he is, Neither the government nor the mainstream scientific community will have a good impression of me. They will probably regard me as a terrorist hiding in the dark, and they will have a deep prejudice against me. In addition, the data cannot be verified, so They will definitely not accept these data, which means it will not change the outcome of the matter."

"Not only that... they will also monitor this black hole with the strictest measures in human history, and at the same time try their best to eliminate this black hole. Because the human government will not allow a thing that can destroy the entire earth at any time. Existing on the earth. If this happens, we will be finished. The earth will also fall into the empty universe due to wrong calculation results, and the entire human civilization will be finished."

Zhao Lan murmured: "This seems to be a dead end... In other words, no matter whether you disclose your base or your research data, the human government will not accept your calculations. It will not accept your calculations. If the calculation results...the earth will fall into the empty universe, and human civilization will perish. But there is a doubt. Li Yunfan, why did you even grant me the highest level of authority in your base and disclose to me the contents of your base? You want me to believe you even though you have all the secrets? I can’t figure out what’s the use of asking me to believe you when the mainstream scientific community of human civilization is destined not to believe you?”

"It's useful, of course it's useful." Li Yunfan said with a smile, "This involves my next plan. I want to return to our universe, and at the same time, I don't want human civilization to perish, but human civilization does not If you are willing to accept my calculation results, then we will execute it ourselves. We will find a way to transport this black hole to a designated point in space and then detonate it there, using our own power to prevent the earth from falling into the empty universe. The fall... And if this plan is to be implemented, your position is crucial. Because you are the commander-in-chief of the space blockade plan, your identity and status can provide a lot of assistance to this matter. Only Only if you completely believe me can this plan succeed."

"Me?" Zhao Lan covered his mouth in surprise, "In my capacity... provide assistance for this matter?"

"Yes." Li Yunfan said, "This is the best way I can come up with. Your official identity will provide cover, and my team of adventurers and my team of scientists will be responsible for the specific implementation. Let's complete this together. Something. Only by doing this can the earth be saved from crashing."

Zhao Lan hesitated and said nothing.

Li Yunfan continued: "So...how this matter will develop, the decision is in your hands."

Making this decision was really difficult for Zhao Lan. Because Zhao Lan has always been an ordinary person, Zhao Lan has never experienced anything like this. The most important decision Zhao Lan made in his more than 20 years of life experience was to choose the Sylvia spacecraft among several options provided by the government. But now, Zhao Lan's choice is related to human civilization and the fate of the entire earth.

If Li Yunfan is wrong and Zhao Lan chooses to believe Li Yunfan, then after the plan proposed by Li Yunfan is successfully implemented, the black hole that explodes at the key space node will have an immeasurable impact on Lobachevsky space. This impact It is very likely that the space that was originally cut off will once again cause ripples, and the earth will once again be involved in the empty universe. If the mainstream scientific community of the human government is wrong, and Zhao Lan chooses to refuse to believe Li Yunfan, then the earth will also fall into the empty universe, and human civilization will also perish.

In the end...how to choose?

Zhao Lan felt a heavy pressure pressing on himself. One of your own decisions can change the fate of the entire human civilization. This kind of thing is fun to say and has a sense of accomplishment, but when it is really put on yourself, the psychological pressure this kind of choice brings to you may make you feel uncomfortable. People just go crazy.

At this time, Zhao Lan once again thought of his ancestor Zhao Huasheng. No matter which film or television work interprets that story, they tend to portray Zhao Huasheng as a wise, courageous and resolute image that is inhuman. However, Zhao Lan knows that Zhao Huasheng is actually just an ordinary person. At that time, Zhao Huasheng endured The psychological pressure must be no less than that of myself at this moment.

Only when he actually faced similar things did Zhao Lan truly realize the greatness of Zhao Huasheng. This greatness is not reflected in wisdom, but in the tenacity of the soul.

Facts have proved that Zhao Huasheng finally made the right choice at that time and finally saved the entire human civilization, but... what about himself now? Can you... make the right choice?

"Zhao Lan, I'm waiting for your answer." Li Yunfan's words came out again. (To be continued ~^~)
