Earth Era

According to Rodriguez, the mass of the black hole in the base is about 100 million tons. According to the Schwarzschild formula, the radius of the event horizon of such a black hole is only about 1.5 times 10 minus 16 square meters. For comparison, the radius of a proton is about 8.5 times ten minus sixteen square meters, that is to say, the size of a black hole with a mass of 100 million tons is only about one-sixth of the size of a black hole. Proton size.

This is completely within the scope of the microscopic world, and it is naturally impossible for the human eye to see it. No matter how huge its gravitational force is, if calculated according to the gravitational formula, the gravitational force after one centimeter away from it has shrunk sharply to only about 7,000 times that of the earth's gravitational force, and this number is difficult to cause changes in light visible to the naked eye.

So the black hole is actually invisible. But now Rodriguez said, "I have a way for you to see it", which made Zhao Lan not surprised.

But after a while, Zhao Lan understood again, "Well, Rodriguez is probably going to feed the black hole."

Black holes are invisible. In real astronomical observations, people cannot see black holes except to calculate their existence through the influence it has on surrounding space and matter. And its influence on the surrounding space is generally divided into three aspects, one is gravitational lensing, the other is attracting surrounding stars to revolve around itself, and the third is eating.

If the astronomical telescope sees that the picture of a river system in the sky is suddenly distorted, or if two identical river systems are observed at the same time, then people can probably know that a black hole passes between this river system and the earth, And it used its own gravity to distort the light from the river system to the earth, so that strange phenomenon appeared on the earth. This is the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. And if one observes a star, or a neutron star, or something like that, revolving around an invisible point. Then people can probably know that there is a black hole there. And if there is a sudden burst of extremely strong gamma rays and x-rays in a certain place, then people can probably know that there is a hungry black hole that is frantically swallowing the surrounding matter.

These three phenomena can be seen to mark the existence of black holes. Therefore, although people cannot directly see black holes, they can still be found through various phenomena. But obviously, this small black hole in the base cannot be marked by gravitational lensing or star rotation. Then there is only one last possibility left, marking its existence through the black hole's feeding.

"Ms. Zhao Lan. You are the first scientist outside the base to actually see a black hole eating." Rodriguez said with a smile, "Today happens to be our base helping government research institutions deal with hazardous waste. In the days of 2019, about a ton of hazardous waste is going to be thrown into the black hole, and you can watch the whole process.”

"Really...?" Zhao Lan felt a little excited in his heart.

"Yes." Rodriguez nodded, "When the government used to deal with these hazardous wastes, it used to pay about 5,000 human dollars for each gram of waste. The company established by the boss offered The price is 1,000 human dollars per gram of waste. We have saved the government four-fifths of the waste disposal funds. All we need to do... is just throw them into a black hole, that's all Simple."

Zhao Lan couldn't help but shook his head in disbelief. One thousand human coins per gram, one ton is one billion human coins... This price is enough to buy one of his own Sylvia spaceship.

One billion human coins is the wealth that ordinary people cannot accumulate in their lifetime without food or drink. As a scientist, all his monthly income is only a little more than ten thousand human coins. If it wasn't for a special award from the government, he would have given him a spaceship for the sake of his ancestor Zhao Huasheng, and he would never have thought of being able to afford a private spaceship in his lifetime. For Li Yunfan's base, one billion human coins is just as simple as feeding a ton of hazardous waste to the black hole.

"This... It's too easy to make money." Zhao Lan thought silently, "No wonder Li Yunfan can accumulate so much money in a short period of time."

"Look... they're about to start," Rodriguez said, pointing to another monitor.

So Zhao Lan saw several staff wearing full-body protective suits manipulating a forklift-like machine, placing a tightly sealed large box on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt kept turning, transporting the box to the depths of a machine.

"This machine is the entrance to the black hole. Black holes are too dangerous, in order to prevent accidents. Everyone, including all matter, except this conveyor belt. No one is allowed to go near the black hole." Rodriguez The introduction, "Look... it has been processed by the electric field, and the instrument that binds the black hole will control its movement through the electric field binding, and accurately throw it into the black hole."

Through another monitor, Zhao Lan saw that the big iron box that wrapped the black hole began to slowly expand at this moment, and it has been expanding from two meters to about eight meters before it stopped. A hole with a length and width of half a meter was also opened on it.

"Before the box is opened. The glass cover has been evacuated, so there is no need to worry about the accidental feeding of the black hole." Rodriguez said.

Zhao Lan nodded. If there is no vacuum inside the glass cover. The black hole will first absorb the air around itself, and then under the action of air pressure. The air in other parts will continue to converge towards the black hole until the black hole finally **** all the air in the glass cover. And if there is communication between the glass cover and the base, then the black hole will absorb the air in the entire base. And if this base is connected to the natural environment...then this black hole will stay here, and one day it will be able to **** the entire atmosphere of the earth into itself. Of course, the most likely situation is that after the black hole absorbs a certain amount of air and its mass increases to a certain point, the electric field binding instrument can no longer support it to exist in the air, it will fall directly, and then penetrate everything to come The center of the earth will eventually swallow the entire earth.

The box containing the hazardous waste finally appeared inside the glass cover, and then floated into the air, and began to slowly fall toward the black hole. As it fell, a number on the display kept jumping and expanding. Zhao Lan knew that the number showed the magnitude of the black hole gravitational force that the sealed box was experiencing at the moment.

When it came to the gap in the iron box that bound the black hole, the gravity reading was one in thirty-seventh. The distance is five meters, that is to say, at a distance of five meters, the gravitational force of the black hole it receives is one-thirtieth of the Earth's gravitational force.

When the distance is shortened to three meters, the gravitational force of the black hole it is subjected to is about one-third of the gravitational force of the Earth.

When the distance is shortened to one meter, it is subjected to about two-thirds of the gravity of the black hole.

Combined with the gravitational force of the earth itself, it has nearly twice the gravitational force of the earth. But twice the gravity of the earth has no way to affect the material of this sealed box.

As the distance between it and the black hole got shorter and shorter, until it was only two decimeters away... A strange thing happened. This black hole can be approximately regarded as a particle, and this box is a macroscopic object, which cannot be regarded as a particle. Therefore, there must be a gap between its different parts and the distance between the black hole. Just like now, its center is only two decimeters away from the black hole, but there is still about 5.8 decimeters between its edge and the black hole. This will cause a huge gravitational gap. The pressure on the part two decimeters away from the black hole is seventeen times the gravity of the earth, and the gravitational force on its edge is only twice the gravity of the earth.

So the center of the sealed box began to bulge toward the black hole, and the bulge became smaller toward the edge. As the electric field control instrument controls it to get closer and closer to the black hole~www.readwn.com~ The bulge in the center of the sealed box becomes larger and larger, until the distance is only four centimeters... That bulge is as high as more than four hundred Under the pull of the Earth's gravitational pull, it finally broke. So a thin strip extends from the sealed box to the invisible black hole. When the material is only one centimeter away from the black hole, the gravitational force has risen to 6,800 times that of the earth's gravitational force. When the distance is shortened to When it is only one millimeter, the gravitational force is 680,000 times that of the earth. When the distance is shortened to only one-tenth of a millimeter, the number is 68 million times... and this number has exceeded the neutron star's gravitational force. gravitational strength.

So the whole box was torn apart. It was pulled into a long strip by the black hole, and began to revolve wildly around the black hole, and was gradually swallowed by the black hole into its own body in the process of rotation. In the process of rotation, these substances still collide, so extremely bright visible light is emitted, which is extremely dazzling inside the dark box. Zhao Lan knew that this was only what he saw. In the wavelength band that he couldn't see, a large amount of gamma rays and other wavelengths of radiation were released.

This process continued for a while, then all the matter was swallowed up by the black hole, and darkness and silence returned to the box. As much as one ton of hazardous waste, which requires human civilization to pay a price of one billion human dollars to dispose of, was easily swallowed up by the black hole, completely and completely disappeared from the visible universe.
