Earth Era

? With the passage of time, the earth, the planet that carries all the hopes of human civilization, has finally turned into an ordinary star. ◇↓ Three ◇↓ Jiang ◇↓ Court ◇↓ Novel. ￥f at least in Zhao Lan's view. Apart from being a little brighter than the other planets in the galaxy, the earth has no other features.

Zhao Lan's Sylvia spacecraft has been sailing in the vast universe for three days. During these three days, Li Yunfan sent Zhao Lan another batch of observational information about the empty universe he was in. Because the spaceship Li Yunfan was on was not a professional scientific research spaceship, the information sent was not complete or accurate, but even so, the information was enough to make Zhao Lan feel heavy.

That universe... is really scary. A stagnant water, an empty space. Zhao Lan even doubted whether there was a concept of "time" in that universe. Time is a physical quantity that describes the motion of matter. Without matter, there is naturally no time, or time has no meaning. For that universe, 10,000 years, or 100 million years, doesn't make any difference. Under such circumstances, the spaceship that Li Yunfan was riding in could maintain the normal flow of time. This was the most incredible thing for Zhao Lan.

Also, it doesn't seem to suffer from entropy gain or energy loss. An empty, completely empty universe has a fixed entropy value, while a spaceship with matter arranged according to a certain pattern has no lower entropy value. According to the laws of cosmology, the matter of the spacecraft will tend to disperse, and eventually spread completely and uniformly throughout the universe. Although this time will be very long according to the existing cosmological theory, it is not a normal universe, and who knows what strange physical laws will be used in that universe.

Everything is unknown there, and at the same time, everything is dangerous. Li Yunfan's life can be said to be in danger at any time. But even so, Li Yunfan still maintained his normal psychology and emotions, and was not affected by the environment at all. This is what Zhao Lan admired the most.

The more he knows about Li Yunfan, the more Zhao Lan admires Li Yunfan. Sometimes Zhao Lan even thinks like this: "If this disaster of stars is real, if human civilization is really threatened with a life-and-death crisis... Maybe human civilization really has to rely on Li Yunfan to survive this time. Crisis. Li Yunfan may really be able to turn the tide like my ancestor Zhao Huasheng. After all, this person is too powerful, I don’t know who else in human civilization can compare with him.”

During the three-day voyage, Zhao Lan was already nearly 30 million kilometers away from the earth, and he was still less than 1 million kilometers away from the calculated point in Lobachevsky's space. After finally confirming some things with Li Yunfan. Zhao Lan set the spacecraft to the automatic sailing mode, then left the pilot's seat and came to the control cabin, ready to operate the most precise observation instruments to start measuring.

The optical instrument was chosen to project a circle on a flat screen in a vacuum environment prepared in advance. And the circumference data of the circle was stored in the instrument, and Zhao Lan manipulated the observation instrument to start measuring the diameter of the circle. After obtaining the diameter data, Zhao Lan divided the circumference and diameter to obtain a series of data.

"3.141592657..." Zhao Lan read the numbers silently. This string of numbers is very familiar to Zhao Lan. In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, Zhao Lan has memorized all the numbers from the decimal point to one thousand. Zhao Lan used the program to compare this series of numbers with the precise pi numbers obtained through mathematical calculations, and came to the conclusion: "The accuracy of this instrument's measurement of pi is as high as 300,000 decimal places."

Because this string of numbers is exactly the same as the first 300,000 digits of the standard pi, there is a slight difference after the 300,000 digits. This shows that this instrument is in the measurement data. At least the first 300,000 is correct.

Zhao Lan changed the size of the circle projected by the optical instrument, and then repeated the measurement several times, and finally confirmed this. After confirming the accuracy, Zhao Lan stopped operating, but began to wait.

The spaceship was still moving quietly. Because the spaceship was constantly decreasing, it took the spaceship eight hours to travel the million-kilometer distance. Then the spacecraft remained relatively stationary with the sun and stopped here.

The universe here is no different from the universes in other places. They are the same empty space and the same darkness. Through the porthole, Zhao Lan can still see the stars in the sky, the bright sun in the distance, and the slightly blue planet next to the sun. The spacecraft is also working normally here. The navigator and gyroscope are also working normally without any abnormality.

But Zhao Lan knew this was unusual. Because mathematical model calculations show that this must be different from elsewhere. If this is normal space, then it means that the mathematical calculation process is wrong. And Zhao Lan thought that such a thing could not happen.

Zhao Lan took a deep breath and manipulated the optical instrument to reflect a circle again in the vacuum environment. It was then measured again with a measuring instrument. The two numbers were quickly obtained and entered into the calculation program to start the calculation. Soon, the number was extended by hundreds of thousands, and it was still expanding.

The measurement accuracy of this instrument is 300,000 digits, so too many digits are completely unnecessary. Zhao Lan stopped the calculation process. Then the pi data obtained this time is input into the comparison program through the program. The program only runs for a moment and then the results of the operation are presented.

Zhao Lan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the calculation result. The calculation result is just as Zhao Lan expected, the pi data measured in this Lobachevsky space... and the pi data measured in the Euclidean space before 237,000 The thousand six hundred and eighty-fourths are completely consistent, and the two hundred and thirty-seven thousand six hundred and eighty-fifths are deviated.

The number measured in standard space is four, and the number measured here is six.

And Zhao Lan already knew that the measurement accuracy of this instrument was 300,000 digits. That is to say, the first 300,000 digits of these two different strings are correct, but they are different from each other, which can only prove... that the space has changed. There is some distortion or unevenness of space here, and it is this change of space that causes the change of pi.

The results of one measurement may be somewhat inaccurate, so Zhao Lan repeated dozens of measurements. But each measurement gave the exact same result, every time the number above that digit was six.

Zhao Lan let out a light breath, then stopped the measurement, and stored all the calculation data in the computer. Now that things have unfolded, everything Li Yunfan said has been confirmed, and... the real situation is worse than what Li Yunfan said.

Because Zhao Lan noticed that the increase in the curvature of space seemed to be increasing. The greater the curvature of space, the faster the stars disappear, and the faster the earth falls into that empty universe. This is obviously not a good thing for human civilization.

Zhao Lan felt a little urgency in his heart.

"I have finished measuring." Zhao Lan whispered, "Your words have been confirmed. The space around the earth, or in other words, the space in the solar system has indeed changed, and the earth... is indeed falling into that empty universe. ."

This is a very bad result. Before this measurement result appeared, Zhao Lan even prayed in his heart that all this would not happen. Zhao Lan would rather that these experiences were just deceived by Li Yunfan and his organization, rather than that it was true. Because the deception is only aimed at oneself, and if the disaster of the stars is true... it is facing all mankind.

Now, all hope in Zhao Lan's heart has finally been completely dashed. The cruelest truth has been presented to Zhao Lan.

Li Yunfan's reply arrived after the communication delay, and his voice was still lazy: "Now you finally believe me?"

Zhao Lan did not directly answer this question, but asked a little helplessly: "What should I do? What should we do with our human civilization? The current technological level of our human civilization is not enough to exert an influence on space... We can Find a way to stop the Earth's fall into the empty universe?"

Facing Zhao Lan's slightly panicked question~www.readwn.com~ The laziness in Li Yunfan's words finally disappeared, replaced by steel-like firmness: "Zhao Lan, you have to believe that the potential of our human civilization is unlimited. Yes. As long as there is a disaster, there will definitely be heroes who can turn the tide and change everything. In the solar crisis, your ancestor Zhao Huasheng was such a hero, and in this crisis, there will definitely be someone who can match Zhao Huasheng The hero appears."

The strong confidence and firmness in Li Yunfan's words finally calmed down Zhao Lan's emotions. Zhao Lan said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I, I lost my temper. Indeed, we still have time, and it is far from the time of despair. I will return to the 105 Research Institute now and bring these things to the full. Human scientists announced. I believe that with the efforts of all mankind, we will definitely find a solution to the problem. "

"Don't forget to share your research conclusions with me." Li Yunfan said, "I don't have the ability to conduct scientific research now, but I think that as long as there is data and data support, my brain can still make a little contribution to mankind. ."

Zhao Lan replied in a low voice, "Yes." (To be continued.)
