All evils come from greed for life. Who wouldn't want to have a better physique, a smarter mind, and a higher lifespan? In particular, the emergence of Jack, a successful example, has inspired everyone's greed...
However, the quantity of Perfection is limited after all, and can only be used by less than one-thousandth of the people in the world. Once the secret is revealed, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the entire society. If it is more serious, World War III is not impossible!
Therefore, there is some reason for the coalition government to strictly keep the secret of perfection, but it is not entirely wrong. The governments of various countries have secretly wrestled a lot around the perfect element, and many inexplicable geopolitical conflicts have a good explanation from now on, and that is the distribution of the perfect element.
In the end, the five most powerful countries reached a consensus, "put aside disputes and develop together!" So, people set up a coalition government, sealed most of the perfect elements in the moon base, and protected them with nuclear bombs. Any experiment needs the approval of the coalition government. approve.
No one could have imagined that the earth would explode like this... All the conspiracies and schemes disappeared with the destruction of the earth. It doesn't seem to make much sense to pursue the fault of the previous government, because most of the responsible persons have died, and the few living people are only accomplices, just obeying orders...
An anticlimactic trial ended hastily in this way, and Calvin's verdict was not even reached, so the court chose to adjourn the court and "sentence at another day."
This kind of morale-destroying thing, people all choose to forget it intermittently, let's talk about everything later...
...
The work in the base is still going on in an orderly manner. One approval is only a trivial matter for the entire base.
Thomson, male, 33 years old, former Swiss physicist, has published more than 60 articles in SCI, 7 of which were included by the most authoritative "Nature" magazine.
At the same time, he is also a famous astronomer and has his own laboratory on the moon base. Thomson's usual job is to monitor the entire starry sky.
After the earth exploded, a large number of rock fragments burst out. When these rock fragments approached the moon, they might be captured by the moon's gravity and turn into meteorites to attack the moon.
In astronomy, the point at which the gravitational forces of two planets balance is called a Lagrangian point. On the Lagrange date line, the gravitational force between the moon and the earth just cancels out, and the meteorite can maintain a balanced state. Meteorites that exceed this limit may hit the moon and bring disasters to humans.
On the first day when the earth exploded, more than 3,000 meteorites from the earth hit the moon! These meteorites are not big in size. For humans far away on the south pole of the moon, they can only feel some small earthquakes, which are nothing.
But for astronomers, it was a day of terror and despair. They watched the sky all the time, and when a meteorite hit, it was like hitting them, and the apex of their heart would beat, for fear that they would suddenly suffer a catastrophe.
Asteroid impact is a huge threat to life! 65 million years ago, a meteorite with a diameter of ten kilometers hit the earth, producing overwhelming dust, melting polar snow, destroying plants, and filling the sky with volcanic ash, all of which led to the extinction of dinosaurs. Thanks to this, mammals can rise .
If a meteorite of the same magnitude falls on the moon, then an earthquake of magnitude 13 or above will occur on the entire crust! If this meteorite lands in the Bailey crater, there is no doubt that the energy released by the simultaneous explosion of 100 trillion tons of TNT explosives can wipe out the entire Antarctic.
There are a total of eight such threats, and the largest one has a diameter of more than 20 kilometers... Now Thomson can only pray to God that these giant meteorites will not hit the moon .
The nuclear weapons in the base pose no threat to these meteorites, they can only slightly change their direction... This feeling of powerlessness in praying to God is very uncomfortable for scientists. But there is nothing to do but pray.
However, with the passage of time, Thomson's heart was relieved a little bit. The possibility of such a catastrophe has become smaller and smaller, because the earth is covered with a thick atmosphere, and the meteorite will continue to rub against the atmosphere during its movement, and its kinetic energy will continue to decrease.
When the kinetic energy of these asteroids decreases, they will be attracted back by the gravity of the earth itself, so the moon will become safer and safer.
The base is located at the south pole of the moon. The location is not bad. Few asteroids can pass through many obstacles to come here, so human beings have enjoyed a period of peaceful development.
"Mentor, this is the latest satellite image." His student Thomas sent an email.
"Okay, I got it." Thomson clicked on it, and it was a satellite image of the earth.
Judging from the image, the original azure blue planet has long since ceased to exist, replaced by a gray nebula-like envelope composed of sandstone, atmosphere, and water vapor, and the structure inside is completely invisible.
These nebular materials are constantly moving and colliding, and in the future there will be turbulent eddies, which will cause rotation. However, this process is extremely slow, maybe tens of millions of years, hundreds of millions of years later, under the action of universal gravitation, a new earth can be formed here.
Perhaps, a new life will be born.
"Perhaps, only some microorganisms can survive... According to the spectral analysis, the innermost temperature is around 2000 degrees Celsius, and all animals and plants are extinct." Thomson sighed.
The original super-large mushroom cloud also dissipated. Two weeks later, this mushroom cloud gradually spread behind the earth, spreading to a distance of 500,000 to 600,000 kilometers, forming a magnificent white light curtain under the sunlight .
In fact, this light curtain is very thin, not even one-hundred-thousandth of the original earth's atmosphere, but it is superior in size, and under the sunlight, it will have different colors, magnificent and gorgeous.
Now, as the moon revolves around the earth, it is about to enter this light curtain.
Thomson had a . This premonition was mysterious and mysterious, and he couldn't grasp what it was. Thomson thought hard for a long time, but he didn't understand where this uneasy feeling came from.
"Maybe it's too much work pressure."
He comforted himself that this light curtain is actually composed of sand, stone, air, and water vapor, and has no special ingredients, and it is impossible to cause harm to humans. Humans can't even perceive it because it's so thin.
He casually clicked on the video of the super explosion and watched it again and again. The super explosion that destroyed the human parent star is the nightmare of the entire human being. Many scientists have studied it and wanted to find out why it happened.
The same is true for Thomson. What kind of weapon can cause such an effect? Antimatter bomb? Neutron star? black hole? or something else?
In two weeks, he reviewed the video countless times and calculated it countless times, and finally came to a strange conclusion: it was a kinetic energy weapon!
An aircraft with a mass of one hundred tons and close to the speed of light can cause such an explosion effect! It's unbelievable. He repeated the calculation many times on the supercomputer and simulated it many times, but he came to exactly the same conclusion.
Could it be that the spacecraft of aliens accidentally crashed to the earth?
This calculation result has been reported to the Academy of Sciences, and it has been put together with many other results, and there is no conclusion yet.
If it is really a light speed vehicle, what kind of technology should it be...
The speed of light, anyone who understands its meaning, knows that it is a speed that is both desperate and yearning. Only at this speed can human beings rush out of the solar system and search for a new "earth" within a limited lifespan.
And the fastest spacecraft of human beings is only 20 kilometers per second, which is a drop in the bucket compared with the speed of light of 300,000 kilometers per second.
With the current progress of human science and technology, when will it be able to approach the speed of light? Human beings so far are still struggling with the food crisis...the gap is too big!
The more he understood, the more he realized how small he was, and a heavy sense of despair appeared in Thomson's heart. The ocean of truth, its vastness, is perhaps far beyond human imagination.
"Oh," Thomson shook his head, shaking off some bad emotions. Although he was only 33 years old, he felt old.
"Mentor, look, I have collected ice!" His student Thomas shouted outside the laboratory. A few days ago, he designed a simple water storage device with a plastic film. When water molecules encounter the film, they will condense and turn into ice.
You know, there is no atmosphere on the surface of the moon, and it is almost a vacuum. In normal times, this kind of experiment will basically not be successful.
Thomas said happily: "Our moon has begun to pass through the light curtain, and there is also a thin atmosphere near the ground. Although it is not enough to provide breathing, we can get water from it!"
"It's good to be young!" Thomson thought. His genius student Thomas was only 16 years old, but he was already at the doctoral level .
Suddenly, Thomson seemed to think of something, and his heart skipped a beat. He finally grasped that uneasy feeling!
