Hearing the questions coming from beside him, Lu Yongchang sighed deeply.
The worst result came out.
The unusual activity of the sun was indeed pushed forward by two months!
In addition, the aging speed of the sun is obviously faster than in the previous life!
According to Lu Yongchang's calculations, the Sun will experience another helium flash in about 15 years.
The corner of Lu Yongchang's eye twitched slightly.
It actually shortened the time by five years!
"Professor Lu?"
Ye Nangeng's urging voice came from the side.
Lu Yongchang pulled the corners of his mouth with great effort, revealing an ugly smile: "Taiyang, something happened."
…
Half an hour later.
Ye Nangeng stared at Lu Yongchang in front of him in a daze.
"Impossible... How is this possible?!"
"So far, the sun has only existed for 4.6 billion years, but according to the model, it can exist for at least 10 billion years!"
"It, how could it enter the aging period just like that?!"
Ye Nangeng's face flushed, and his gray beard trembled slightly. He shouted loudly: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Your calculation is definitely wrong! There is no way the Sun can enter the red giant stage in just over a decade!"
Facing the emotionally agitated Ye Nangeng, Lu Yongchang revealed a trace of pity deep in his eyes.
In the previous life, countless scientists collapsed when they learned this incredible news!
No one with higher education believes this conclusion!
However, the facts are before mankind!
The astrophysics edifice that humans have spent countless time and energy to build has been toppled so easily!
"Mr. Ye, calm down." Lu Yongchang said softly, "The calculation process is all here. I have just explained in detail all the steps you don't understand."
"Do you think there is a loophole?"
Mr. Ye's expression suddenly froze.
It was precisely because he knew clearly that there were no loopholes in Lu Yongchang's calculation formulas that he found it difficult to accept all this!
Mathematics doesn't lie.
In mathematical models, the Sun ages at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In fact, in the near future, the Sun will enter the red giant stage!
He raised his wrinkled hand tremblingly and pulled out a strand of his beard.
"hiss!"
Ye Lao took a breath and muttered to himself: "This, this is true..."
The next moment, Mr. Ye turned his head sharply and looked at Lu Yongchang beside him. He grabbed his arm with his skinny right hand: "Professor Lu! Then... then what should we do now?!"
Lu Yongchang looked serious and said word by word: "Go find the chairman of the council!"
…
Beijing, within the first ring road.
Inside the Speaker's office.
"Yongchang?" The moment he saw Lu Yongchang, Councillor Li showed a faint smile on his face. "Why? Why do you have time to come to me instead of focusing on your fusion reactor miniaturization task?"
Lu Yongchang's face was full of bitterness. He slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Chairman, I have something very important to report to you!"
Seeing the serious look on Lu Yongchang's face, Councillor Li's expression also gradually became serious.
He put down the pen in his hand and said to Lu Yongchang with a serious face: "Go ahead."
Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and slowly said, "Chairman, the sun has entered a stage of rapid aging!"
"According to predictions, it will enter the red giant phase within ten years and explode with a helium flash within fifteen years!"
"By then, human civilization will no longer exist!"
"…"
As Lu Yongchang finished speaking, the Speaker's office fell into silence.
After a long while, the Speaker took a deep breath.
"hiss..."
He frowned tightly, and tapped his right knuckles unconsciously on the desk...
"Yongchang, are you sure what you just said is true?"
Seeing the deep suspicion in the eyes of the Councillor, Lu Yongchang nodded helplessly: "Councillor, if you don't believe it, you can find some astronomy experts to verify my speculation."
Councillor Li smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yongchang, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this... is a little too outrageous."
Lu Yongchang fell silent.
The Speaker is right.
To be honest, if he hadn't been reborn and actually witnessed the scene of the helium flash explosion, he wouldn't have believed what he said!
The Sun, now in its prime, will enter the red giant stage within ten years and experience a helium flash within fifteen years?
To be honest, the Speaker of the House of Representatives didn't kick him out directly, which was already quite good for him!
"Mr. Ye from the Xia Kingdom Observatory is just outside the door. How about... I call him in and you ask for his opinion?"
Seeing the chairman nod, Lu Yongchang hurriedly opened the door and pulled Ye Nangeng in.
The chairman frowned and looked at Ye Nangeng who was standing next to Lu Yongchang: "Mr. Ye, do you think that Yongchang's calculation is likely?"
Facing the question from the chairman of the parliament, Ye Nangeng nodded bitterly: "Chairman, I...I didn't find any loopholes."
Although he had expected Ye Nangeng's answer, when the chairman heard this, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip in an instant!
"Da…da…da…"
The sound of knuckles rapping against the solid wood desk filled the entire office.
Even though Lu Yongchang was very anxious, he still waited obediently for the chairman of the council to make a decision.
After all, facing a disaster of this magnitude, without the help of Xia Guo, he would never be able to "turn the tide"!
"Since both of you say so, I will believe you this time."
The chairman of the council said solemnly: "I will immediately hold a meeting to verify this situation. If the situation is true..."
"We may have to start thinking about our way out."
After saying this, the council chairman leaned back in his chair and sighed once again.
Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly.
"Chairman, according to my speculation, extremely strong auroras will erupt over the skies around the world tonight!"
"This is a sign that the sun has completely entered the aging stage."
The councillor's eyes moved slightly.
As the chairman of the parliament, he naturally knew some basic common sense. The aurora usually only appears over the Antarctic or the Arctic.
As for the global aurora outbreak...
The last time this phenomenon occurred was in 1958, when there was a violent outburst of solar activity!
The current solar activity is clearly not enough to support such a grand outburst!
So he nodded gently: "Okay, I understand."
"If there really is a global aurora outbreak, I think... your inference will be more convincing!"
As he spoke, the chairman looked at Lu Yongchang meaningfully.
…
That evening.
In the Great Hall of Xia State, an emergency meeting kicked off, inviting most of Xia State's astronomers and physicists.
