Chapter 25 Battlefield
This rocket was originally only used to launch near-Earth satellites, and its design was not used to launch things outside the Earth's orbit. However, in an emergency, it is not impossible to make a slight adjustment, change the download weight, and use it to achieve the second universe speed.
However, in this way, the transmission level cannot be guaranteed. But then again, people do not need any accuracy this launch mission. As long as they can throw this thing away, it will do whatever direction.
When it reached the orbit of the earth, the third and second stages of the rocket had fallen off. At this moment, its length was much shorter, and it no longer had the momentum of a proud finger at the sky, and its whole body looked short and fat.
Originally, when it arrived here, its first-level fuel should have consumed all and then fell off. However, because the load capacity was reduced most, its first-level fuel was still left. So this fuel was used to push the box to reach the second cosmic speed. So it broke free from the earth's gravity and flew towards the depths of the universe at a high speed of nearly twelve kilometers per second.
At this moment, eleven hours have passed since people discovered that there was a black hole inside the box.
During the assessment, it will probably be detonated between the next hour and thirteen hours. This time means the straight-line distance between 20,000 and 300,000 kilometers.
At such a distance, in the empty space, this is a safe distance in any case. So the people who knew about this finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, there is still a lot of things people have to do.
Major observatories around the world, whether they are optical telescopes, radio telescopes, neutrino telescopes, etc., all aimed at the direction of the box and began to pay attention to any signs from there.
It is not easy to observe the phenomenon that a micro black hole evaporates due to Hawking's radiation at such a close distance. This means a lot of scientific data, which may promote the development of human science.
No matter what situation is now, no matter how uncertain there is in the future, no matter what purpose the giant came here for, and gave this "gift" to mankind, no matter what, it would be impossible to do everything possible to develop technology.
While countless people were waiting anxiously, after more than four hours passed, the explosion came as scheduled.
All telescopes around the world that are aiming in that direction all see the "glitter" from there.
Optical telescopes see visible light, various types of radio telescopes and radiation detectors detect various radiation, while neutrino detectors detect a large number of neutrino bursts.
A black hole consumes all its energy in the process of transforming virtual particles into real particles. All its energy is carried on these particles and emits in all directions with it as the center of the circle.
So, people on Earth saw the aurora again.
The area where the aurora appears at this moment is not the hemisphere where the giant is located, but the hemisphere in the direction of the box. It is at night, so the night sky is shrouded by colorful aurora.
In the convoy still following the giants, Ning Yushan, who saw this scene through the computer, turned his head stiffly and looked at the two newly dispatched natural science experts: "Will the explosion of a black hole also cause aurora?"
"Yes, there is this possibility." The expert swallowed and said with a little difficulty: "In the past, we didn't know how the black hole would evaporate completely. But now we know, it turns out that's what it is..."
"A large number of virtual particles will be transformed into real particles. In that moment, all possible particles will appear from the void. Particles and particles will react with each other at extremely high energy levels, be accelerated and ionized. They come to the Earth's magnetic field, just like the solar wind coming here, causing aurora..."
Zhan Zhengye murmured: "If you say this, then the two previous aurora were caused by the evaporation of micro black holes? But at that time we didn't know the specific way of black holes evaporating, and we didn't recognize them, and mistakenly thought it was the solar wind."
The expert said: "This is very likely. There is no specific data comparison yet, but I am at least 99% sure."
A thought flashed through Ning Yushan's mind: "From now on, those inferences that believe that giants have nothing to do with these changes, but have predicted these changes in advance, can be given up."
Although I still don't understand the purpose of the giant doing this and the motivation for it to do this, the giant's behavior has undoubtedly proved that these things are what it does - countless pairs of eyes actually saw the giant handing over the box to humans.
With a gentle sigh, Ning Yushan said: "Our comrades have successfully dealt with this emergency. Their mission is over, and our mission is still continuing."
"Why did the giant hand over this box to us, what is the purpose, what is the motivation, and why the giant came to earth... It is our mission to figure out these things. This is our battlefield."
...
Wuhua City, Institute of Physics of Haiyuan University - Although Haiyuan University is gone at this moment, Lu Jingming still calls it its previous name.
The phone rang quietly, Lu Jingming pressed the answer button, and Wu Qinghe's voice came out.
"Jing Ming, you already know all the things that just happened, right?"
Putting down the documents in his hand, rubbing his temples a little tiredly, Lu Jingming said: "I already know. A miniature black hole is amazing. I even think that the method of creating a kilogram-level micro black hole and then temporarily 'cooling' it has no lower technological content than lighting Jupiter."
Wu Qinghe ignored this: "This is not a question we need to care about. I called you this time, mainly to ask you what you think. Jingming, are you still sticking to your ideas now?"
Lu Jingming believes that the giant may be just a trick, and it has nothing to do with those changes. It is just used to attract sight and disturb people's thinking. There are other people who have led to all these changes.
But now, there is no doubt that people have already had tangible evidence to prove that this is what the giants do.
Lu Jingming smiled: "The person behind the scenes secretly handed over the box containing this small black hole to the giant, and then handed it to you by the giant, and finally let you discover the mystery of the box and then confirm that all this was done by the giant - there is a certain reason for this possibility, right?"
Wu Qinghe frowned and said, "If it is not necessary, do not add substance. Your speculation is meaningless."
Things that only require a giant to explain, why do you have to make the logic so complicated and create a mastermind behind it?
This does not conform to scientific thinking.
Lu Jingming put away his smile and whispered: "So, from another perspective. Why did the giant never do anything other than triggering a change before I left the analysis team and decided to find the problem from the most fundamental point. And just a few days after that, the giant couldn't wait to prove that all this was done by it? Don't you feel weird?"
"Jingming, Jingming, you, you..." Wu Qinghe sighed and said, "You are too narcissistic. Do you think the giants came about this time because of you? I dare say that even the Secretary-General of the ruling committee dare not think so."
The Secretary-General of the ruling committee is the head of state of all humanity in the world. In some ways, he is the representative of all humanity.
"It's still the same sentence. Even if I'm wrong, I won't lose anything. There are enough people who analyze the logic of giants' behavior, and many of them are. In that case, why can't I do some research on this possibility?"
"Before you, many people were doing research on this, why did the giants not move, but wait until you came to move?"
Although he knew that Wu Qinghe could not see it, Lu Jingming still pointed to his head: "I think the mastermind behind the scenes may also think that my head is different from others."
"This is outrageous. If I were the mastermind behind the speculation, I might as well kill you directly and get it simple and quick. Why do you have to be so troublesome and do so many things."
Lu Jingming smiled: "If I were the mastermind behind the scenes, I would never kill someone who might be close to the truth. Because this would instead let others know that this person is right - if it is incorrect, why did you kill him? So, killing someone will make countless people start working in this direction. I will only find ways to mislead him and let him give up his efforts in this area."
"It's not difficult to arrange an accident and make a person disappear seamlessly. If the mastermind you speculate exists, it's even less difficult for them."
"If I die of a traffic accident next moment, and no matter where I investigate it, what would you do?"
Wu Qinghe thought for a moment and said helplessly: "No matter how you die, even if all the evidence proves that your death is completely normal, the decision makers of the ruling committee will dispatch more scientific research forces to continue your research direction."
"Yes. I think the mastermind behind this can understand this."
Wu Qinghe was speechless for a while before saying, "It's your reason here and outside, what else can I say."
Wu Qinghe once again gave up his efforts to persuade Lu Jingming to return to the analysis team.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingming did not continue to look at the analytical data, but looked out the window, as if there was an invisible figure there.
