Earth Era

Unlike what many people expected, this black hole will not be transported directly to the earth port tens of thousands of kilometers away from the surface, it will only be transported to a place only a few hundred kilometers away from the ground. .

This scheme was designed after precise calculations. The reason is very simple. The farther the space elevator is from the surface, the faster it revolves around the earth, and the lower the gravity, until the gravity of the earth completely disappears and centrifugal force dominates. Transport this black hole to a place hundreds of kilometers away, where the black hole can just revolve around the earth stably, neither will it escape from the earth's gravitational field because of its speed, nor will it fall due to its excessive gravity. to the surface of the earth.

In such a place, the black hole can be simply regarded as "free-floating", and it is the safest and fastest to operate the black hole under such circumstances.

Hundreds of giant cranes stretched their long robotic arms toward the black hole at the same time, and the ultra-high-strength ropes made by the latest technology collapsed straight at this moment. The huge box loaded with black holes, electric field equipment, and load balancing equipment was hoisted by these giant cranes, and then placed into the huge transport equipment on the ground side of the space elevator.

During this whole process, a total of tens of thousands of soldiers participated in the security work. Countless soldiers with guns and live ammunition surrounded the ground end of the entire space elevator, and even Zhao Lan couldn't move around in it. Anyone or things entering or leaving here will be subject to the strictest inspections, and the head of state also signed a special order giving soldiers here the right to shoot without warning.

That is to say, as long as the soldier thinks a certain person is a threat, and at the same time, as long as the person shows a little sign of uncooperativeness, the soldier has the right to directly shoot and kill him.

Zhao Lan welcomed this order, because Zhao Lan knew exactly what he was doing now. It can be said that if there is a terrorist or anti-human element who wants to destroy the entire earth or the entire human civilization, now is the best time for him to act. Because as long as a more powerful bomb explodes next to the electric field control box, it destroys the equipment of the electric field control box. Or if the load balancing device is destroyed, the black hole will fall into the earth and destroy the entire planet.

Special measures are taken in special times, at this time. No amount of draconian security measures can be taken.

Fortunately, nothing happened during the transport of the black hole into geosynchronous orbit. Unidentified people did try to get close to the space elevator, but the military personnel decisively shot and killed seven people, and the rest disappeared without a trace without knowing where they went. The rest only arrested two drunk men. And just killing a wild dog.

Not even a wild dog can come here without permission. Because wild dogs may also have pre-placed bombs, such things cannot be taken lightly. Killing it is the best option.

The head of state and Zhao Lan participated in the entire transportation process together. It was only after receiving that the black hole had successfully entered orbit and started to revolve around the earth at a constant speed, the heads of state and Zhao Lan were completely relieved.

According to the laws of mechanics, the greater the mass of an object, the more difficult it is to change its state of motion. And the mass of this black hole is as high as 100,000 tons, and it is already in the orbit of the earth at this moment, which means that unless the government takes large-scale action, it will start from this moment. No one can push it back into the earth. In other words, the earth has completely eliminated the threat of this black hole since then.

Having a black hole on the same planet as oneself is not a good experience after all. Now that this guy is finally sent out, everyone can feel at ease.

But this mission is not over yet, and there is still a lot of work to be done in the future.

In space, a heavy cargo spacecraft controlled by a special operations team began to slowly approach the black hole that was freely floating in space, revolving around the earth, and then opened the hatch, opening its mouth like a monster The electric field control box swallowed into his body. After securing it, the heavy cargo spacecraft began to accelerate slowly. It has been orbiting the earth twice before it can get the speed to break free of the earth's gravitational field. So it left the earth in a parabola and began to travel towards the third space node.

After counting the mass of the black hole, the total mass of the heavy cargo spacecraft rose to a somewhat frightening level. The originally designed high-thrust engine was a little powerless in the face of such quality, even if the engine risked overload and burnt out to work at full strength. But it was still unable to increase the forward speed of the spacecraft to a suitable level. As a last resort, the earth urgently installed six boosters on the spacecraft, which increased the forward speed and sent the black hole to the third space node above the predetermined time.

After arriving at the predetermined location, the heavy cargo spacecraft opened the hatch again and spit out the black hole with the electric field control box that bound it. The ship then moved away. After the spacecraft left, the electric field control box automatically stopped working and opened an outlet on it.

From this moment on, the black hole was finally exposed to the space environment without any blockage. But this is a near-vacuum environment, and even if it comes into contact with the outside world, it can't find anything to eat.

The thruster equipped on the electric field control box began to ignite. After leaving the black hole here, it flew into the vast expanse of space under the impetus of the thruster, and has since disappeared.

Its mission has been completed, and from this moment on, mankind no longer cares about its fate.

In addition to this black hole, the remaining more than 30 space nodes have all been equipped with hydrogen bomb spacecraft of different yields as planned. All it takes is the first signal from Earth for these hydrogen bomb ships to explode. But there is still a day before the scheduled time node, and it is not yet time for them to explode.

The scientific research department and the military jointly dispatched a large number of scientific research and security forces to inspect these arrangements and provide the necessary protection for these devices to ensure that they will not be damaged. In terms of Earth, Zhao Lan has stayed in the scientific research department for several days without leaving, and has been nervously checking whether there are any omissions in the task, and whether there is anything that he has overlooked.

The city is still brightly lit, and even in the middle of the night, the downtown area is still crowded with people. Entertainment, shopping, food, views, everything is as usual. Occasionally, someone raised their head to look at the pitch-dark sky without a single star, and it was just a glimpse, and they would take back their eyes in an instant.

This is an important action related to the entire human civilization, and the fate of human civilization will be judged in this action. But this incident did not affect the public. Other than complaining about why the sky is so dark, no one would waste more energy on it.

Exhausted Zhao Lan left his job at this moment and came to the top floor of the scientific research department building. Standing in front of the railing, he looked at the sky and the ground.

An Liya, who worked as a personal security guard for Zhao Lan, also came here.

The wind in the summer night is very cool, and it has a very comfortable feeling on the body. Zhao Lan stood quietly like this, and the noise of the crowd below seemed to be able to reach here.

Zhao Lan suddenly sighed.

"The history of our human civilization has been thousands of years... You say, in this world and in history, how many people like us still exist? Never exposed in the public eye, only in the Secretly engaged in work that is crucial to the entire human civilization. Success, all the waves remain the same, the public will not feel any changes, failure, but it can bring disaster to the entire human civilization.”

An Liya curled her lips: "Then who knows, after so long, human beings have come here safely. This society has divisions of labor, so just do what you need to do, and do what others want. What. Just like me now, just protect your safety. As for your work, I don't care at all. Even if you fail in the end, it can only prove that it should be like this. No matter how much I care, there is no way to change it. This fact~www.readwn.com~ Zhao Lan was a little speechless at this answer: "Your heart is really big. After a pause, Zhao Lan said again: "If all goes well, in a few hours, your boss will return to our universe. What are you going to do after your boss comes back? "

An Liya was stunned for a moment: "How to do what?" Then she shook her head: "What should I do or how to do it, but you, if I remember correctly, you don't even know what the boss looks like, right? What, have you thought about it, what did you say in the first sentence after meeting the boss?"

This time, it was changed to Zhao Lan in a daze. Zhao Lan has never thought about this issue. Although Zhao Lan has been looking forward to meeting with Li Yunfan, what Zhao Lan thinks is always the "meeting" itself, and he has not had time to think about more things.

After being stunned for a while, Zhao Lan shook his head helplessly: "Let's talk about it later. Let's go, let's go down, and then check the relevant arrangements for the last time. It will be time in a few hours..."

Before turning to leave, Zhao Lan glanced at the dark sky without any stars for the last time, and said to himself in his heart: "I will find all the stars we lost..." (To be continued.)
