The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 738 What will happen to the Earth if the sun disappears? Li Bai: Anyway, I won't live to see that, so there's no need to worry.

Wouldn't it be perfect if the uncle and nephew could learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses?

One is proficient in civil administration, and the other is good at martial arts. If they can work together with one mind, they may be able to accomplish great things.

Unfortunately, things in the world often go against one’s wishes. I’m afraid that such a complementary scene can only be seen in plays.

But then again, if an uncle and nephew with such different personalities could live in harmony, it would be a great story in the world.

It’s a pity that the world is unpredictable and human hearts are hard to measure. Such beautiful expectations can only be a dream after all.

A new video appeared on the sky screen.

[Today let's think about a creepy question: What would happen if the sun suddenly disappeared? ]

[Don’t rush to say this is impossible, let’s imagine something terrifying. Suppose one day, you are browsing your phone and suddenly find that the sunlight outside the window disappears in an instant, as if someone has pressed a switch! ]

[Do you think it was dark clouds that covered the sun? No, no, no, when I looked up, the sun disappeared from the sky without a trace, as if it had been erased by photo editing software! ]

[“We are doomed!” you thought. But the truth is far more terrible than you imagined…]

[First, the Earth will still be bathed in the last rays of the Sun for the first 8 minutes and 20 seconds. This is because it takes that long for the Sun to reach the Earth.]

[That is to say, we still have 8 minutes and 20 seconds of "honeymoon period". But when the last sunshine disappears, things will start to get exciting...]

[The temperature on the Earth's surface will drop at an alarming rate. In the first hour, the temperature will drop by about 20 degrees! ]

[Don't think this is the end. By the 40th hour, the global temperature will drop to minus 18 degrees Celsius. The sea will begin to freeze and plants will begin to wither.]

[And this is just the beginning. Without the gravitational pull of the sun, the earth will start to fly freely in space like a wild horse. ]

[Imagine that our blue planet is speeding towards the unknown area of ​​the vast universe at a speed of 30 kilometers per second! ]

[At this moment, the Earth is like a spaceship that has lost its power, carrying 78 billion human passengers, drifting aimlessly in the dark space. ]

[But the most chilling thing is that this is not the worst case. Because what happens next will bring unprecedented challenges to human civilization...]

[What will happen? Let's keep it a secret for now. Guess how long humans can survive on Earth without the sun? ]

[Before revealing the answer, let’s think about this: If there really comes such a day, how should we deal with this disaster? ]

[Of course, all of this is hypothetical. But through this hypothesis, we can more deeply understand the importance of the sun to the earth. ]

When the ancient people looked at what was on the sky curtain, they couldn’t help but be shocked!
If the sun really disappeared, wouldn't it be more terrifying than the collapse of the sky and the earth?
Some people even subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky, fearing that it would suddenly disappear!
If that day really comes, where should I hide?

Many people can't help but scoff when they hear that the earth is drifting in space!
This storyteller is exaggerating too much. The earth is clearly solid, so how could it float?

The ability of this person on the sky curtain to talk nonsense is getting stronger and stronger!

……

Spring and Autumn plane.

It was a cool night, and Confucius was drinking tea and discussing philosophy with his disciple Zigong in the courtyard.

After reading the contents on the sky curtain, both of them fell into deep thought.

The plum trees in the courtyard cast mottled shadows in the moonlight, adding a touch of tranquility.

"Teacher, what is written on the sky is really frightening."

Zigong put down the teacup in his hand, looking worried.

Confucius stroked his beard and smiled: "Ji Lu, do you think it is the disappearance of the sun itself that is scary, or the changes after the disappearance?" "Teacher, I think that if the sun disappears, all things in the world will wither. Such a disaster is really terrible."

Zigong answered seriously.

"No."

Confucius shook his head and said, "The sun is to heaven and earth as virtue is to the human heart. If virtue disappears, the human heart will be cold; if the sun disappears, heaven and earth will be cold. Isn't the coldness mentioned on the sky similar to the coldness of the human heart?"

Zigong seemed to understand something: "Teacher, are you saying that the disappearance of the sun will not only bring about changes in nature, but also changes in people's hearts?"

"That's right. Did you notice that the sky curtain said that humans can only survive for one year at most? However, if such a disaster really happened, I'm afraid that before the weather turns cold and the earth freezes, people's hearts will have already been desolate."

"Teacher is right. In the face of such a disaster, I am afraid that the world's order will collapse first."

Confucius looked up at the bright moon in the night sky and said: "So, the way of heaven and the way of man are one. The changes of the sun, moon and stars are changes in the order of the world. If we want to deal with such disasters, we should first govern people's hearts and then observe the celestial phenomena."

"The disciple is taught, but the teacher, if that day really comes, how can we keep people's hearts from being confused?"

Confucius looked up at the sky and said earnestly: "Rituals cannot be abolished, and music cannot be eliminated. Even in desperate situations, we must uphold the bottom line of being human. This is the way of a saint."

The night wind blew, shaking the plum branches in the courtyard.

……

Tang Dynasty plane.

"Is it really so horrifying?"

Li Bai looked at what was on the sky curtain and couldn't help but shudder.

If this were true, wouldn't even the strongest wine be frozen into ice?
Not to mention drinking and admiring the moon, even the moon would be lost.

But then I thought, I won't live to that time, so there's no need to worry about it.

Just thinking about it this way makes people feel a little proud.

While the sun is still there, we should drink and write poetry happily.

If such a day really comes, poetry and wine will become a thing of the past, and the elegance of the world will disappear completely!

The sun disappears and the moon floats. Wouldn't this strange scene be more spectacular if it could be accompanied by some poems?

But in this cold weather, even the strongest liquor may not be able to warm the body.

Fortunately, these are just clouds in the sky, and the sun is still warm.

[Someone will ask, isn't it just going to get cold? Can't we just move to the basement? ]

[Hahaha, if only it were that simple! Let me tell you something even scarier...]

[In the first week after the sun disappears, the average temperature on the Earth's surface will drop to minus 50 degrees Celsius. Do you think your home heater will hold up? Sorry, without solar energy and fossil fuels, most power plants will stop working.]

[Some people say you can burn wood to keep warm? Not to mention that trees will soon die in the extreme cold, the key is that without sunlight, you will slowly run out of oxygen! ]

[Yes, 90% of the oxygen on Earth is produced by photosynthesis of plants. Without sunlight, the plants will also fall down. Oxygen will gradually decrease, while carbon dioxide will increase. ]

[The most exciting thing is the change in the atmosphere! As the temperature drops sharply, the water vapor in the atmosphere will condense quickly. Imagine that the whole earth will be shrouded in a blizzard that lasts for months! ]

[Some netizens said: Then why don’t we just stockpile food? Wait, the problem is not that simple. ]
