Chapter 46 - Chapter 46 The foundation of astronomy is shaken?

Xia State Assembly Hall.

The top physicists and astronomers from Xia State took their seats.

The chairman of the House of Representatives sat at the front of the hall with a serious expression.

There was a deep worry in the depths of his eyes.

"Ahem!"

The chairman of the council reached out to straighten the microphone and cleared his throat.

Noticing that everyone in the audience was looking at him, Councillor Li pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Dear professors and academicians, I called you all here in a hurry today because I just learned a piece of news."

As he spoke, Councillor Li reached out and turned on the projector in the Xia State Assembly Hall.

A paper appeared on the huge projection screen.

After seeing this paper, all the professors and academicians present frowned.

A slight discussion followed.

"Is this... the paper that appeared in Nature a few days ago?"

"Yes, I am quite impressed by this paper."

"What does Councillor Li want to say by bringing out this paper at this time?"

"Not sure... maybe the sun has really entered its aging period?"

"Nonsense! How is this possible?!"

"…"

Seeing the discussion in the audience, Councillor Li's expression became more serious: "Quiet!"

"Based on the data in the paper and the observation data from the Xiaguo Observatory in the last month."

"Professor Lu Yongchang has come to a conclusion after calculations."

"The sun is aging at an unprecedented rate. According to the model, the sun will become a red giant within ten years and explode a helium flash within fifteen years!"

Councillor Li paused for a moment and added: "This calculation data has been verified by Ye Nangeng of the Xiaguo Observatory."

"…"

After the words fell, the huge Xia State Assembly Hall fell into silence.

The pupils of all the participants instantly shrank into needle points!

After more than ten seconds, there was an uproar!

"What?!"

"How is that possible!"

"Professor Lu Yongchang? Isn't he studying controlled nuclear fusion? Why is he suddenly studying astronomy?!"

"I heard that he is still a sophomore undergraduate student. This... this is not a joke!"

"But... Mr. Ye actually approved of Professor Lu's calculation results. Doesn't that mean..."

"Don't make random guesses yet, let's wait for the chairman's explanation!"

After a few minutes, the discussion gradually faded away.

Councillor Li glanced at the people in the audience and spoke again: "To be honest, I don't really believe this conclusion."

"I have called you all together today to conduct a verification."

As he spoke, the image on the projection screen changed.

Looking at the neat rows of deduction formulas above, every professor frowned deeply.

"This is Professor Lv Yongchang's latest solar model. Let's take a look and see if you can find any loopholes."

"In addition... according to this model, extremely strong auroras will occur around the world at around 22:50 tonight."

The moment they heard this, everyone turned their heads and looked out the window.

The sky outside was pitch black, with no sign of the aurora.

The Councillor raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

21:56

There is less than an hour left until the predicted time.

"Academician Yang Jianchuan, what do you think of this statement?"

Councillor Li asked quietly with a calm expression.

Academician Yang Jianchuan, who was named, frowned and muttered to himself, "Impossible..."

"Although there was an extremely strong aurora event in 1958, that was during a period of strong solar activity."

"According to recent observational data, solar activity is far from meeting this standard!"

Councillor Li nodded slightly. "That means the possibility of a global aurora is extremely small at the moment, right?"

Seeing Academician Yang Jianchuan nod, Councillor Li took a deep breath and said, "That means if a global aurora really occurs in an hour..."

Having said this, Councillor Li stopped talking.

Everyone present here is not a fool, so they naturally understood the meaning of the congressman's long speech.

After a moment of silence, Councillor Li spoke again with a serious expression: "Dear professors, it's still early, so let's first verify Professor Lu's model!"

22:35 in the evening.

All the professors and academicians frowned as they looked at the page of deduction process on the projection screen.

"Mr. Yang, do you see what's wrong?"

An academician showed some worry in his eyes and asked softly to Yang Jianchuan beside him.

Yang Jianchuan shook his head slowly: "I...I can't see the problem."

"After looking at this model, I even felt that there was something wrong with the star model we had built before."

"What?!" The academician was shocked and said repeatedly, "This... Mr. Yang, you can't make such a joke!"

As a leader in the astronomical community of the Xia Kingdom, Mr. Yang rarely makes mistakes in his astronomical judgments.

That is why Mr. Yang's views will directly influence the judgment of most people!

Elder Yang looked solemn and sighed deeply: "I hope not."

"Human history is too short and the level of technology is too low."

"The only star we can actually contact is the sun, so... it's normal even if the model is wrong."

When he saw the unacceptable expressions on the faces of several professors around him, Mr. Yang slowed down his tone a little.

"Of course, maybe our model is correct, but there are some problems with the sun that we don't know about, which led to this strange phenomenon..."

Hearing this, the expressions on the professors' faces eased a little.

After all, once the basic model of stars is wrong, it means that the foundation of human astronomy has been completely shaken!

This is unacceptable to every researcher!

"Ahem…"

The voice of the councillor clearing his throat came from the stage: "Ladies and gentlemen, have you found any loopholes?"

"Or, does anyone have any objection to this deduction result?"

Time passes slowly, bit by bit.

The huge Xia Kingdom Assembly Hall was in silence.

Hundreds of professors and academicians lowered their heads, not daring to look at the chairman on the stage.

Several senior academicians of astronomy and physics also sighed and shook their heads helplessly.

Seeing this scene, a hint of disappointment flashed in Councillor Li's eyes.

He slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"In that case, then..."

Before he could finish his words, a cry of surprise came from the audience!

"aurora!"

"The Aurora is really happening!"

Councillor Li suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look out the window!

A brilliant red light appeared in the sky above the capital!

The red light gradually spread across the entire sky.

Under the reflection of the aurora, the originally bright moon was also stained with a layer of blood, as if foreshadowing the future of mankind!
