Earth Era

There is an obvious fact in front of Zhao Huasheng and all human beings on the earth, that is the most basic law of conservation of mass and energy. This law shows that energy cannot disappear without a reason, so if some kind of blocking substance appears in the sun's photosphere, then... where did the blocked energy go?

Perhaps that kind of barrier material forms a heat absorbing layer, but the radiant power of the entire sun is terrifying. What kind of heat absorbing layer can withstand such a huge energy impact?

A word appeared in Zhao Huasheng's mind, Dyson ball.

The Dyson sphere is a virtual sphere that fully utilizes the energy of the sun in the speculation of human civilization. This virtual sphere can be made up of many pieces of mirrors, and these mirrors completely wrap a whole star and completely absorb the energy radiated by it.

The Kardashov index divides the civilizations that may exist in the universe into three levels, namely K1, K2, and K3. A K1-level civilization can utilize the energy of an entire planet, a K2-level civilization can utilize the energy of an entire star, and a K3-level civilization can utilize the energy of an entire river system. According to the Kardashev index, the Dyson sphere is the most iconic product of the K2 civilization. Obviously, by creating a Dyson sphere, the energy of a whole star can be harnessed. And if the speculated heat absorbing layer really exists in the photosphere of the sun, is it a type of Dyson sphere?

It should be pointed out that according to the grading standard of the Kardashev index, the human civilization on Earth at this moment is only a K0.7 civilization, and there is still a long way to go from the Dyson sphere. And if a certain civilization really came to the sun and created a Dyson sphere around the sun to try to collect all the energy of the sun... Then, with the strength of human civilization K0.7, it is impossible to fight against a K2 in any case level civilized.

If this is the case, there is no doubt that this is the end of human civilization.

"Fortunately, this is just a preliminary inference, and it is unlikely to be true." Zhao Huasheng thought, "The physical world has some commonalities, even if it is a K2-level civilization that is much more advanced than ours, it is unlikely to go to the It violates some basic laws of physics. Just like the law of universal gravitation is still in use today when the theory of relativity has been greatly developed. If it is really a Dyson sphere, then it must have a follow-up energy harvesting device, and we have not observed it at the moment to the presence of energy harvesting devices.”

"The Thunderstorm Mercury probe has changed its forward trajectory and is rushing to the other side of the sun at full speed. We will get accurate information from the back of the sun in about five days... Let's wait until then to talk about everything." Zhao Huasheng Sighing, he put down the documents in his hand.

Zhao Huasheng stood up and walked to the window.

A bright red sun hung under the western sky, and it was already evening. The air conditioner in the room was not turned on, so Zhao Huasheng, who recovered from the information files, immediately felt a chill. Pedestrians on the street were all in a hurry, and even the constantly flashing neon lights seemed to have a sense of bleakness for some reason.

Monjo is still missing, and I don't know where he is hiding. Zhao Huasheng didn't care about him, he just took a piece of bread and swallowed it hastily, and then sat in front of the computer again.

This time, Zhao Huasheng did not check some information, but came to several famous forums.

After flipping through some posts complaining about the recent abnormal weather, Zhao Huasheng refreshed the page, and a title jumped into Zhao Huasheng's eyes.

"The recent anomalous decrease in temperature is not due to climate! It is the decrease in solar radiation levels!"

Zhao Huasheng frowned and clicked on this post.

There is no specific observational data in the post. The poster claims to be an amateur astronomer who happens to have a set of solar observation equipment in his hand. At a certain point, he pointed the observation instrument at the sun. came to this conclusion. At the end of the post, the poster also wrote in a very horrifying tone: "The government must have known about these things, but the government has concealed it. We have reason to suspect that the government is doing something secretly. As for these actions It is unknown whether to build underground shelters or conduct a population screening program. In short, the government is unreliable now, and all we can do is save ourselves! From now on, store as much food, water and fuel as possible, earth The end is coming!"

In the replies below, some expressed doubts and some laughed, but basically no one believed these words. But Zhao Huasheng's worries became more and more serious.

This matter can't be hidden for long. Quite simply, observing changes in solar radiation intensity is not something that requires high-end equipment and theory. Any experienced astronomer can also come to this conclusion if they really spend some time observing the sun in detail. The government can monopolize all communication channels, but the government cannot monopolize knowledge.

Zhao Huasheng came to a certain professional astronomy forum again. The speech here verified Zhao Huasheng's thoughts. Here, "reduced solar radiation intensity" has basically become a recognized thing, but the people here obviously don't have much information, what they are discussing is only the formation mechanism of this incident and the background behind it. physical principles.

They still regard this event as a normal process of solar activity, and have not suspected other aspects.

"But...if the solar radiation levels don't go up, they'll figure it out sooner or later. By then, the information will spread to the whole society from the people with astronomical expertise, and everyone will know these things .This process is unstoppable and irreversible. At that time... I don’t know how many riots will break out in the society, and I don’t know how many people will die.”

"I hope that the processing center is ready to deal with the riots... I hope that the construction of large-scale shelters near the equator can be completed before the riots become uncontrollable." Zhao Huasheng sighed deeply and turned off the computer.

It was eight or nine o'clock. For Xia Ye, this time is still early. But Zhao Huasheng has no interest in doing other things. Zhao Huasheng simply washed up and lay down on the bed.

Zhao Huasheng has a habit of thinking about things in bed before falling asleep at night, integrating the information he has received throughout the day, and digging deeply for the occasional flashes of light during the day. Now, Zhao Huasheng hopes that he can draw some conclusions by sorting out the information he got during the day at the moment when his brain is most efficient.

But unfortunately, Zhao Huasheng's exhaustive thinking did not achieve any results. On the contrary, this thinking seriously affected Zhao Huasheng's sleep. Whenever Zhao Huasheng closes his eyes, a scene will appear in his mind. In this scene, the sky is snowing heavily, the cold wind keeps blowing, and the tired people put all the clothes they can find Clothed on the body but still unable to resist the invasion of the cold, some people suddenly fell down and died while walking, and the surviving people could fight for even a little food or fuel. Life is in this scene So humble, so not worth mentioning.

That is hell, the cruelest hell that human beings can imagine. Civilization dies, order collapses, people degenerate into pure beasts without any moral etiquette, without any law and conscience, and can do anything in order to survive... That is the end of the entire civilization. No, not just human civilization, that is the end of all life on Earth.

A sense of mission and responsibility is forcing Zhao Huasheng to stay awake, forcing Zhao Huasheng to turn his brain desperately, trying to think of ways to change everything. So Zhao Huasheng still didn't fall asleep until early in the morning.

The sun once again completed its own reincarnation, reappeared from below the horizon, and sprinkled its already rather weak light and heat on the land. The cool morning breeze blew towards Zhao Huasheng from the open window, causing Zhao Huasheng to wrap his quilt tightly again.

There has never been such a moment that makes Zhao Huasheng feel that sunshine and warmth are so important. In the past four billion years, the earth has been bathed in the stable light and heat from the sun, which is even so stable that all life on the earth ignores its existence and regards it as something something that should be taken for granted. Until it begins to show signs of fading, life on earth, including humans, can truly appreciate its preciousness.

Because sunshine means life. There is no life without sunlight.

Zhao Huasheng lifted the quilt, exposing his chest to the slightly cold morning air. Zhao Huasheng was unkempt, unshaven, pale and haggard, but Zhao Huasheng's eyes were bright. There is a power emanating from the depths of his heart supporting Zhao Huasheng's body. Zhao Huasheng got up and washed his face casually, without even combing his hair or brushing his teeth.

"Mengzhuo, are you there?" Zhao Huasheng called into the empty room.

"I'm here." With an indifferent face and no expression, Meng Zhuo, whose body was still straight and his clothes were still neat, came out from the balcony.

Zhao Huasheng has long been used to Munjo's elusiveness. It seemed that no matter when Zhao Huasheng called Mengzhuo, Mengzhuo would immediately appear in front of Zhao Huasheng with clean clothes and an indifferent face.

"Drive, take me to the research institute, I'm going to find something..." Zhao Huasheng said.
