Earth Era

The black hole cooling equipment and feeding equipment installed in the base are the two most important tools for controlling the mass of the black hole. The cooling equipment is naturally the radiators installed around the base, and the feeding equipment is a material conveyor belt that leads directly to the electric field control box. Black holes are not picky eaters. They can eat anything, so the things they feed to black holes are usually rocks, soil, or waste. Of course, in order to enhance the black hole's feeding efficiency, these things will undergo some necessary processing before being fed to the black hole, such as grinding them into powder.

Zhao Lan is the figure seen here. The man was a middle-aged man, wearing a uniform white uniform inside the base, and he didn't look out of the ordinary. Even late at night, there are naturally a large number of staff working in the base, so it is not strange to see a figure or something like that. It's just that this place is near the black hole feeding equipment, and few people come here, so Zhao Lan walked over, intending to take a look at what the staff member was doing.

Zhao Lan walked over, and An Liya followed behind Zhao Lan. An Liya has a carefree personality, and they are both women, so Zhao Lan and An Liya get along very well. The two of them love to be together no matter what they do, and this time is no exception.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, the staff member in a white coat turned around suddenly. Just as Zhao Lan was about to ask something, he noticed that the staff member's expression was a little strange. After taking a closer look, he found that his expression was The thief looked as panicked as if he had suddenly been caught by his owner.

Usually few people come here, and the guards in the base do not stand guard here. But Zhao Lan looked at An Liya who was following him and relaxed. Zhao Lan walked over and asked, "Which department are you from? What are you doing here?"

"I...I am..." The man's voice stuttered at first, but he regained his fluency after a moment: "My name is Allen. I am a high-energy physicist. I came to check what was fed to the black hole today. What kind of material is it? Our working group has a topic, which is to study what different phenomena occur when different materials rotate around a black hole at high speed. This is my job card."

The staff member said as he took off the work badge hanging on his chest and handed it to Zhao Lan. Zhao Lan checked it and found that it was indeed what he said. The reasons given by this staff member are also very reasonable. Although Zhao Lan is not very proficient in this project, he also knows that there is such a research topic.

Everything is flawless. Everything was reasonable, but Zhao Lan still felt a little strange. Zhao Lan secretly thought in his heart: "Why did this person panic when he saw me coming here?"

But then Zhao Lan thought: "In such a quiet environment, it is probably normal to be startled when I hear footsteps suddenly. I should be worrying too much."

So Zhao Lan returned the work badge and said, "Okay, then you continue and I won't disturb your work."

"My work has been done. I'm leaving now." The staff member said as he was about to leave. But at this moment, An Liya, who had been keeping quiet, suddenly said: "Please wait a moment."

The staff member turned around with an increasingly unnatural look on his face: "Excuse me, do you have anything else?"

An Liya said with a smile: "The skin on your face seems not to be very good. Look, there is dead skin here..."

Zhao Lan felt a little strange. Before he could react, he saw An Liya's hand quickly reaching out to the staff member's face, and then tearing it apart with force. As if by magic, the staff member in front of him immediately changed his face and became completely different from before.

Zhao Lan exclaimed. In an instant, he realized that the staff member just now must have a mask on his face. Didn't find it myself. An Liya discovered it. Now that An Liya has taken off the mask from his face, his appearance has naturally changed.

But the next moment he saw the new face of the man in front of him clearly, Zhao Lan let out another exclamation. Because Zhao Lan suddenly realized, this person in front of him, this face, this, this... isn't this Rodriguez?

How come Rodriguez is here? ! How could Rodriguez have Allen's identity? It was already late at night, what was he doing sneaking around here alone?

A series of questions welled up in Zhao Lan's heart, but he saw that the smile on An Liya's face became even stronger: "I didn't expect it. Rodriguez, it's you... It's been a long time since we last met. How have you spent this time? Okay? Have you digested the legacy left by the boss?"

It was precisely because of Rodriguez's betrayal. Only then would the base be occupied by the government, only then would Zhao Lan be arrested and thrown into prison, only then would Zhao Lan and An Liya almost die in space before the situation could be saved by a narrow margin. All these unnecessary troubles were all caused by Because of Rodriguez!

Just as Zhao Lan was about to call out to the guards, he heard Rodriguez yell, turn around and run away. Zhao Lan shouted anxiously: "An Liya, catch this guy quickly, don't let him run away!"

"No need to worry, no need to worry." An Liya said calmly, casually took out the mobile phone she carried with her, and then threw it hard at Rodriguez, who ran away in panic. The phone drew a beautiful arc in the corridor, and then hit Rodriguez accurately on the head. Rodriguez yelled, staggered, and fell suddenly. But in front of him was a material entrance that feeds the black hole. Rodriguez lost his grip and fell down.

An Liya shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "Sorry, I used too much force."

Zhao Lan shouted anxiously: "Quick, turn off the conveyor belt, we have to catch Rodriguez, and then ask him what the hell he is doing here."

But it was clear that time was running out. Any operation on the black hole needs to be reported at all levels. Even Zhao Lan, who is the commander-in-chief of the space blocking plan, cannot make changes to the black hole at will. When Zhao Lan finally hurriedly reported, reviewed, and stopped eating for the black hole, Rodriguez had no idea where he was.

Zhao Lan hurriedly ran back again, retrieved the video data from the first-level transmission channel of the electric field control box from the vast sea of ​​video surveillance data, and saw a horrifying picture from the display device. .

The first thing the screen showed was Rodriguez screaming in panic and struggling desperately, but the speed of the conveyor belt was too fast, and he had no place to escape. So Zhao Lan saw that one minute after Rodriguez fell into the feeding port, he followed the black hole's food to the isolation cabin. Immediately afterwards, under the operation of the automatic air extraction equipment, the air density in the isolation cabin began to decrease rapidly. Rodriguez was screaming and struggling desperately, but no one would come to save him at this moment. Zhao Lan saw that blisters began to bulge on Rodriguez's body, his eyes began to protrude outward, and his body began to expand, as if it would explode in the next moment.

The boiling point of a liquid is closely related to atmospheric pressure. The lower the atmospheric pressure, the lower the boiling point of the liquid. There are many liquids in the human body, such as blood, tissue fluid, cell fluid, etc. Now that the air pressure has dropped, the temperature of those liquids has not. So they began to boil, and it was precisely because of the boiling of these liquids that blisters appeared on Rodriguez's body. It's a real rush of passion.

The human body will not explode in the vacuum environment of space because the temperature there is too low. But the temperature in the isolation cabin is different. The temperature there is even a little higher than room temperature. Therefore, Rodriguez's body will expand under the pressure inside the body.

Rodriguez struggled for only a moment and then stopped moving. By now, Rodriguez was undoubtedly dead. Dying in a vacuum is a very painful way to die, but the torture that is about to be inflicted on Rodriguez is obviously more than that. After the isolation cabin became a vacuum environment, the automatic instruments began to operate again, and Rodriguez's body came to the next processing step along with the black hole's food.

In this processing step, all the food fed to the black hole will be processed into high-temperature gas, because only in this way can the black hole's feeding rate be ensured. So under the high temperature, Rodriguez's body turned into fly ash along with the food, and was then dumped into the electric field control box.

Rodriguez died and was swallowed by the black hole. Although this black hole will "vomit" everything in its body again in the near future in the form of Hawking radiation, it is obvious that those basic particles can no longer assemble into a complete Rodriguez.

Rodriguez has completely disappeared from this universe since then. Although he had no favorable impression of Rodriguez and was extremely disgusted with him, Zhao Lan still felt a little nauseous when he saw a similar person die in such a miserable way.

Zhao Lan asked An Liya with a little low energy: "You did it on purpose, right? You had already calculated that you would hit Rodriguez directly into the conveyor belt."

An Liya still shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "I thought you couldn't tell."

Zhao Lan shook his head helplessly and said to An Liya: "Let's go to that place again to see what Rodriguez did." (To be continued ~^~)
