Earth Era

readx();>, !

Haishan Er is 7,700 light-years away from the solar system. △, which means that the radiation of various bands and visible light coming to the solar system at this moment has traveled long distances in the universe for 7,700 years. In fact, Haishan II erupted as early as 7,700 years ago, and what people see at this moment is actually just some images that have passed 7,700 years.

But it is precisely because of this that Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan's colleagues, and all the people who are following Haishan Er are more amazed at the power of Haishan Er. With such a long distance apart, it can still make the people here look as bright as a full moon... In the face of this stalwart power, Zhao Lan couldn't think of what words to use to describe it.

"The gamma-ray burst caused by the explosion of Haishan II lasted for 30 seconds. During these 30 seconds, the energy it released was equivalent to the total radiation energy of all the stars in the entire galaxy for more than 230 years... Haishan Er used this explosion so heroic that words can't describe it to announce the end of his life to the whole universe." Zhao Lan thought silently.

What appeared in front of Zhao Lan was a high-precision composite photo processed by the electronic system. On top of this photo, Zhao Lan saw a dense cloud at the position of Haishan Er. They appear in different colors in visible light, and different colors mean different temperatures and energies, as well as elemental compositions. At present, due to the occlusion of these dense clouds, researchers cannot temporarily see the black hole formed by the explosion of Haishan II, but by observing the explosion of X-band radiation, people can basically confirm this, that is... At this moment, there is a black hole in the original position of Haishan Er. It is using its powerful gravitational force to control the surrounding clouds to revolve around itself. And keep eating them...

The dust cloud is accelerated by the black hole's powerful gravity to speeds that may even approach the speed of light. in such a fast movement. They are constantly rotating and colliding. During the process of rotating and colliding, extremely strong radiation such as gamma rays and x-rays will be produced, and then sprayed out along the poles of the black hole, and will be ejected together. What came out was extremely high-energy, extremely high-speed plasma jets...

After coming to the sky survey observation base. Just like his colleagues at the base, Zhao Lan devoted himself to the task of observing the wreckage of Haishan II.

Thanks to the existence of the high-speed and precise positioning system for gamma-ray bursts, the relevant observation instruments arranged in different areas aligned their observation directions within one second after Haishan II began to erupt and began to observe and collect data. Therefore, the observation of the second seamount eruption this time will be the one with the best observation conditions and the most collected data in human history. Scientists hope that the data collected by this observation process can solve some problems that have puzzled mankind for a long time, such as the problem of supernova explosion model, or the evolution of giant stars.

Observations of the remains of the Haishan II eruption have continued for more than a month and have not stopped. Up to now, the radiation of the Haishan II wreckage in the visible light band has been reduced so much that it can no longer be seen with the naked eye. This also means that for an ordinary person, Haishan Er has completely disappeared. People will never see it again. But it is different for Tianjia. With the help of scientific instruments, one can still observe quite intense visible light as well as X-rays from that place. And gamma ray radiation. It still has high observation value, so the observation action has not stopped.

The observation operation continued for more than a month, and Zhao Lan worked continuously in the observation base for more than a month. Every new data, or every new idea, new phenomenon will make Zhao Lan excited for a long time. Zhao Lan has already devoted himself to his work completely and completely. If the staff of Mars Port hadn't contacted Zhao Lan actively, Zhao Lan would have almost forgotten his car, and the Sylvia spacecraft had mysteriously disappeared there.

"Ms. Zhao Lan, I'm sorry it took so long to contact you. Because during this period of time, we have been investigating the mysterious disappearance of your Sylvia spacecraft, and this investigation is more difficult than we imagined. It's a lot tougher. We didn't have a tentative conclusion until now, so we didn't get in touch with you until now."

The communication equipment in Zhao Lan's hands displayed the pre-recorded video communication information sent from Mars Port. It was a slightly bald middle-aged man who said this to Zhao Lan. Zhao Lan remembered that the middle-aged man named Xu Ming was the first manager of Mars Port.

Judging from Xu Ming's personal explanation of this matter to himself, Mars Port still attaches great importance to his own affairs. This made Zhao Lan feel the sincerity of Mars Port.

"We've found your ship's port entry in the electronic system's records, but we've never been able to find your ship's departure record. This means that the electronic system thinks your ship is still in port. But obviously your ship's The spacecraft has disappeared, so there must be something wrong with the electronic system. We spent a lot of time on manual inspection of the electronic system, and finally found a video recording information 15 days before your departure. The camera equipment is clearly shooting The whole process of your spacecraft's departure from port has been reached, but for some reason, the electronic system directly ignored this departure event and did not record it in the database. We also found the maintenance record of your spacecraft through manual investigation. and fuel and survival material refill records, but again, these records are also ignored by the electronic system.”

"Also through manual investigation, we found the following recording clips... As you can see, the man came to your spaceship berth without any hindrance without attracting the attention of any electronic equipment. And drove off your ship... We determined that this man must have hacked the port's electronic systems, tampered with the review and alarm systems in the electronic systems, and then... stole your ship."

"Yes, your spaceship has been stolen." Xu Ming said with a wry smile, "Although it is unbelievable, it is indeed the case. Of course. We will not shirk our responsibility. We will definitely take care of your loss. Compensation will be made in accordance with procedural requirements... We just wanted to ask you. Do you know this man?"

What appeared in front of Zhao Lan was the face of an ordinary young man. This face is neither handsome nor ugly, it's just a very ordinary public face, the kind that grabs a lot of people in the crowd. Zhao Lan shook his head after only one glance. Zhao Lan can confirm that he does not know this person at all, and has no impression of this person at all in his mind.

After a period of communication delay, Xu Ming's second message continued to be sent: "We contacted the Ministry of Security, the military, and the police, but no one could confirm the identity of this man. He is A person who is not recorded in the information system of our civilization. He can unknowingly bypass the strict monitoring of electronic equipment. And has superb disguising skills, has countless different faces, and no one has ever known him. There is only one person who has never left any records in the citizenship system, and that is... Li Yunfan. Of course, we did not say that we have confirmed that the person who stole your spaceship is Li Yunfan, we just It's just suspicion. Because apart from Li Yunfanfan, we really can't think of any other thief with such superb abilities."

Li Yunfan is one of the most legendary thieves in human civilization. Apart from the name, no one knows any exact information about Li Yunfan. I don't know his true appearance, I don't know his age. I don't know his real identity, not even his gender. And Li Yunfan committed the crime for the first time ten years ago. And after making more than a dozen major theft cases that shocked the entire human civilization in the following period of time, he has been at ease until now.

Among these cases, including the production template of the latest set of currencies in the central bank of the human civilization government, including the tie worn by the head of human civilization when preparing to attend the celebration the next day, including a set of precious jewelry for the head’s wife, and the central bank Thirty tons of precious minerals stored in the treasury... Every case that Li Yunfan makes is unbelievable, even if it is not for Li Yunfan who will declare responsibility for these things and publish all the process information of the crime every time after the incident, the security of human civilization. Strength has no way to find out who did these things.

And this case has many similarities with previous cases made by Li Yunfan. The theft of a spaceship in a port has never happened in history, and people can't figure out what Li Yunfan would do by stealing a spaceship. The modus operandi of this theft case was too superb, so Xu Ming suspected that the robber Li Yunfan did this.

Li Yunfan and Zhao Lan are people who live in two different worlds. Zhao Lan can be sure that there has never been an intersection between his life and Li Yunfan. And now... Li Yunfan was eyeing him and stole his spaceship from the Mars Port? This made Zhao Lan very unbelievable. Zhao Lan couldn't think of any reason why Li Yunfan should keep an eye on his spaceship. You must know that the Sylvia spacecraft can only be called high-end in the category of civilian spacecraft. With Li Yunfan's ability, if you want to steal the spacecraft, why not steal other spacecraft with more powerful performance? What's more, what did Li Yunfan do by stealing a spaceship? Since it is a spaceship, it is necessary to refuel and replenish materials in the supply port. After the Sylvia spaceship is stolen, human civilization will inevitably pay close attention to the spaceship. As long as the Sylvia spaceship appears in the In the supply port, it will be controlled. Facing such a net, it can't escape even if it wants to run. Could it be possible that it will not enter the port all the time?

"This is ridiculous." Zhao Lan whispered, "Li Yunfan... What did he come to steal my spaceship for?"

"We don't know either." Xu Ming continued with a wry smile, "The Ministry of Security has taken over this incident, and is currently analyzing the tail flame traces of the Sylvia spacecraft, trying to restore its flight path, and then pass the positioning system. Track it down. Please wait for the notice of the Ministry of Security for further investigation results... In order to compensate for your loss, we have ordered a brand new ship from the shipyard, which is more powerful than the Sylvia ship, probably It can be built and delivered to you after half a year. The engineer from the shipyard will contact you within a few days to determine the interior shape, power layout and other information of the spacecraft. Well, by the way, the new spacecraft will be delivered to you Before using it. We will bear all your transportation expenses. Ms. Zhao Lan. On behalf of Mars Port, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you again. I hope you can accept our compensation plan."

Zhao Lan thought for a while and finally agreed to the compensation plan. So after signing an online contract with Xu Ming, Zhao Lan hung up the communication and continued to work.

It's just that Zhao Lan can no longer concentrate on work. In Zhao Lan's mind, there was always a question that lingered for a long time: the robber Li Yunfan...why did he come to steal one of his own spaceships?

No matter from which perspective, Zhao Lan could not find a reasonable explanation for this matter. If Li Yunfan is concerned about himself rather than his own spaceship... Then, what else should he pay attention to? Zhao Lan believes that he is not beautiful, although he can be regarded as a scientist, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is high. But in the eyes of people like Li Yunfan, Zhao Lan didn't think his identity would be attractive. In terms of wealth... Zhao Huasheng did not leave any legacy for his descendants. Before Zhao Huasheng and Li Wei both passed away, they had donated all their property, except for an honorary title, what? None left to their descendants.

The current Zhao Lan is completely just an ordinary scientist. Zhao Huasheng still has a lofty reputation in human civilization, but that has nothing to do with Zhao Lan. Even Zhao Lan himself did not take this matter too seriously.

Unable to figure out these things, Zhao Lan did not continue to think about it. The pursuit of Li Yunfan and the like should be done by the government and has nothing to do with him. Just do your own work.

Observations of Haishan Er are still in progress. But now the data collection has come to an end, and the next work is to analyze the images and data collected in the previous stage. The mysteries of the universe hidden under these materials will be revealed. This is a very large and long project, and it may even take more than ten years to parse the data. To put it another way, the tens of thousands of heavenly families who participated in the analysis of the Haishan II outbreak will contribute at least a quarter of their careers to this matter.

A scientist needs at least two decades of education from birth to growth before he can do his job. And then tens of thousands of such scientists spend a quarter of their careers doing it to decipher the mysteries hidden in Haishan Er's eruption. Compared with the entire scientific world, the outbreak of Haishan Er was not even a drop in the ocean. The contrast between the vastness of the universe and the depth of its mysteries and the insignificance of individual power is hopeless. But the science and technology of human civilization and the understanding of the universe are constantly progressing under such circumstances.

This is a road of progress paved with the painstaking efforts and sweat of countless scientists, as well as life. Zhao Lan is an ordinary member of these countless scientists.

Time passed quietly in such a calm and slightly boring rhythm. In a blink of an eye, a month has passed. In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Lan, who had finished his day's work, couldn't help but input the series of familiar parameters into the telescope console, and adjusted the direction of the telescope to that familiar angle.

So a dim and faint light spot entered Zhao Lan's eyes again.

Zhao Lan knew that it was a quasar, which was extremely far away from the earth, at least 10 billion light-years away. Zhao Lan's work includes research on this ancient quasar, so calling a telescope to observe this quasar at this moment cannot be said to be a personal gain. It's just that only Zhao Lan knows his selfishness.

Zhao Lan didn't want to study or analyze this quasar~www.readwn.com~ because Zhao Lan didn't want to turn this beautiful and distant star into a series of numbers describing its physical state. Zhao Lan thinks that is very unbeautiful. When observing this star, Zhao Lan is more often watching here.

This quasar has a very special meaning for Zhao Lan. Although a quasar that is more than 10 billion light-years away from the earth has a special meaning for a human, it sounds incredible, but human beings are such a race that is good at association and sustenance.

Zhao Lan has watched this quasar hundreds of times. But things seem to be a little different today. Under Zhao Lan's gaze, for some unknown reason, the luminosity of the quasar suddenly began to slowly decrease. This reduction was clearly and intuitively presented in front of Zhao Lan through the change in numbers. So after about ten minutes, the quasar disappeared from Zhao Lan's sight and the lens of the telescope, and could no longer be seen.

Zhao Lan blinked in disbelief, and then looked at the display screen again. But the screen was still pitch black. Total darkness means that there is no light source that can be captured in the direction the telescope is aimed at.

But... what about that quasar? Why did it disappear? (To be continued..)
