Three days later.
"Yongchang, have you read the latest issue of Nature?"
Just as Lu Yongchang was sitting in his office, pondering the meaning behind the sonoluminescence phenomenon, Fang Xu's voice came from the side.
He was slightly startled, then looked up at Fang Xu: "Huh? I didn't see it, what's wrong?"
Looking at Fang Xu's mysterious expression, a hint of doubt flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
Nature...
As far as I can remember, nothing major should have happened in the academic world during this period.
"Then you really should go and see it!" Fang Xu's eyes became more mysterious, "I have never seen such a fantastic thing in my life!"
A trace of uneasiness flashed through Lu Yongchang's heart. He frowned and asked softly, "Brother Xu, what's going on?"
Fang Xu smiled and shook his head, saying: "You... are just too impatient!"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. An astronomical laboratory in the United States published a paper in Nature. According to their observations, the sun has shown a lot of abnormal data in the past month."
"Based on these observational data, the laboratory inferred a conclusion."
"Hahahaha, Yongchang, you will never guess what their conclusion is!"
Just when Fang Xu was halfway through his words, Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly changed!
Hearing Fang Xu's question, Lu Yongchang murmured to himself: "The sun has entered its aging period..."
Fang Xu was about to say this absurd conclusion when his expression froze for a moment. He then looked at Lu Yongchang with a strange expression: "You...didn't you say you haven't read the latest issue of Nature?"
Lu Yongchang ignored Fang Xu's words.
At this time, he was already in a state of confusion.
How could it be so fast?!
I remember that in my previous life, this paper appeared two months later!
Could it be that... the changes in the sun are accelerating? !
The horrific scene of the helium flash appeared before him again.
"Yongchang? Yongchang, what's wrong with you?"
Perhaps because Lu Yongchang looked so bad, Fang Xu panicked. He called out Lu Yongchang's name loudly and turned to the researcher beside him and shouted, "What are you doing? Call the medical staff!"
Lu Yongchang waved his hand slowly to stop the researcher's actions.
"I'm fine... no need to call for paramedics."
Fang Xu frowned and whispered, "Is it okay? Do you know how your face looks like?"
Lu Yongchang swallowed slightly and said softly: "Brother Xu, I need an astronomical telescope."
Fang Xu: "Huh???"
Lu Yongchang suddenly reached out and tightly grasped Fang Xu's arm: "Brother Xu, believe me! No matter the reason, I need an astronomical laboratory that can analyze solar data!"
Looking at the extreme fear deep in Lu Yongchang's eyes, Fang Xu swallowed slightly.
Although he didn't know what happened, he nodded gently and said solemnly: "Okay... I understand."
"And... show me the latest issue of Nature magazine!"
Lu Yongchang gritted his teeth and added softly.
…
When looking at the extremely familiar data in Nature magazine, the only remaining glimmer of hope in Lu Yongchang's heart was completely extinguished.
The changes of the sun actually happened earlier than expected!
This doesn't make sense!!!
Could it be that... the changes in the sun in the previous life were not a natural phenomenon? !
A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in Lu Yongchang's mind.
He quickly shook his head and threw away the desperate thought in his mind.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
There was a knock on the door.
Lu Yongchang didn't look up, but just stared blankly at the Nature magazine on his desk: "Come in, the door is not locked..."
"Click…"
There was the sound of a latch snapping, and the door opened.
"Yongchang, I have applied to Minister Hong."
Fang Xu's voice came.
Hearing this news, Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up slightly. He raised his head and looked at Fang Xu who was standing at the door: "Have you contacted a reliable astronomical laboratory?!"
Fang Xu nodded slightly.
"Minister Hong took your words very seriously and contacted the Xiaguo Observatory directly."
"Now it's up to you. When are you going to leave?"
Lu Yongchang suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Fang Xu with burning eyes: "Of course now!"
"We have to hurry! I...we may not have time to waste..."
Speaking of this, a hint of bitterness flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
Seeing this, Fang Xu's doubts became more intense, but he still nodded gently: "I understand."
"There is a helicopter outside the laboratory right now, you..."
Before Fang Xu finished speaking, Lu Yongchang grabbed the pen on the desk and walked out of the office door resolutely.
…
Two hours later.
An armed helicopter slowly landed on the helipad in front of the Xiaguo Observatory.
Before the helicopter came to a complete stop, Lu Yongchang jumped down.
The whirring sound of the propellers above his head made a gleam of nostalgia flash through his eyes.
"Professor Lu, welcome!"
When the helicopter propeller slowly stopped, an old man with gray hair came towards Lu Yongchang.
"You are..."
There was a hint of doubt in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
"Haha, I forgot to introduce myself." The old man's face was full of smiles, and he said cheerfully: "I am the director of the Xia Kingdom Observatory, Ye Nangeng."
Lu Yongchang was slightly startled, and quickly bowed to the old man with a respectful look on his face: "Mr. Ye, I am sorry for not recognizing a great man!"
Ye Nangeng waved his hand with a smile and said nonchalantly: "Don't say that!"
"Compared with controlled nuclear fusion, there is nothing much to say about me as the director of the observatory!"
Suddenly, Ye Nangeng changed the subject.
"By the way, I heard from Director Hong that you came here to study the data of the sun?"
Lu Yongchang nodded quickly: "That's right!"
"What's the reason?" Mr. Ye frowned, "Could it be because of that paper in Nature?"
Seeing the change in Lu Yongchang's expression, Ye Nangeng instantly knew that he had guessed correctly.
As he led Lu Yongchang towards the observatory, he frowned and said, "Professor Lu, I'm not saying that."
"This paper in Nature is full of water!"
"The sun is still in its middle age, this is an indisputable conclusion."
"When we saw this paper, we also observed the sun. Although some of the data are indeed a bit abnormal, this definitely does not mean that the sun has entered a period of aging!"
Listening to Ye Nangeng's words, a hint of bitterness flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
That was how it was in my previous life.
Everyone thought that these tiny changes in the sun's data were just a coincidence.
As a result, humans lost two full years to escape!
