Chapter 31 Batteries
The moment Xu Zhenghua's words fell, the originally serious and silent decision makers couldn't help but look shocked on their faces, and they didn't even react for a short time.
Xu Zhenghua had long anticipated this. In fact, when he first came to this conclusion, he was also shocked and unbelievable.
But numbers and data won't lie.
It took a long time for a decision maker to subconsciously say, "This is impossible!"
The head of state narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Xu Zhenghua's figure on the screen, and quietly waiting.
At the Heihe No. 3 underground base, Xu Zhenghua quietly felt his own state - he felt a little tiredness, which came from long-term work without sleep; he felt a little hunger and thirst, which also came from endless work without sleep; he felt a little greasy on his face, which was because he had not washed his face for too long.
But all this is normal. There is no sudden feeling of discomfort to take away my life.
This means that even if you tell the truth - at least the truth you think, the savior is civilized and the emperor still has not done anything to you.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhenghua continued: "My calculation results tell me this is how it is. If you briefly describe it in non-physical and mathematical language, the mechanism is probably like this:
Inside stars like the sun, due to their special environment, there is a natural energy storage mechanism, which we can simply understand as a battery. The energy released by the fusion of the star's core will first charge the battery. Only after the battery is fully charged will radiate the fusion energy to the outside world. At the same time, the charged "battery" will also release its own energy together, superimpose it with the energy of the star's own fusion, and radiate to the outside world together until its energy storage level drops to a certain threshold.
In other words, most of the normal solar radiation power we think comes from nuclear fusion, but a small part comes from that ‘battery’. The superposition of the two maintains the current radiation power level.
But after the energy stored in that energy storage mechanism has dropped to a certain threshold, the process is very slow, and stars of the sun mass will take about millions of years. In addition to part of the energy generated by the fusion of the star, the remaining energy will be used to maintain its own stability, and the remaining energy will be given priority to charge this energy storage mechanism. Only by returning its energy storage level to a certain threshold will the energy supply be stopped. At that time, the energy of the star's own fusion and the energy of the "battery" will be superimposed again to radiate energy to the outside world.
Compared with the lifespan of stars, no, even just compared with the lifespan of us humans, the process of "charging" to "batteries" is quite short. In fact, according to my calculation results, for the sun, this time is only about thirteen days and seven hours. Now, it has been about eight days, sixteen hours and twenty-five minutes since the sun disappeared, that is, if my calculation is correct, the sun will appear again after four days, four four hours and thirty-five minutes, and return to the normal radiation level that has lasted for millions of years.
That's what I calculated. So, my advice is that the Savior civilization is not that scary. We don't need to surrender to them, we just need to wait for a while."
This is why he found that the solar radiation power calculated by the special M theory is one billionth lower than the actual power. Because that one billionth of radiation energy does not come directly from the fusion of the star, but from the "battery".
Xu Zhenghua finished speaking. He looked down at his body, but everything was still as usual, without any signs of death coming.
In the virtual conference room, no one spoke except for some sizzling noises.
It is indeed difficult to accept this explanation.
Decision makers are not scientists and do not have enough expertise. But they must know some common sense.
The education I received since childhood told them that the sun is not like this. The so-called energy storage mechanism is simply nonsense. This is too ridiculous and incredible.
Even if they do not have these common sense, they can still prove these inferences through some analysis in other aspects.
It's very simple. If what Xu Zhenghua said is true, why has this phenomenon never been discovered before?
You should know that there are countless billions of stars in the universe. According to the probability distribution, even if "the energy storage mechanism is exhausted, the star energy begins to supply energy to it, resulting in no longer radiating energy to the outside world, that is, from the outside world, the star is extinguished", the time is insignificant compared to the lifespan of a star. With such a huge base, in any time period, there will inevitably be a large number of stars at this stage.
But the fact is that astronomers in the human world have never discovered this phenomenon on other stars.
To take a step back, geology can study the history of the earth for billions of years. According to the frequency of the solar periodic extinguishing for more than ten days every five million years, there will definitely be enough geological evidence to remain in the strata. But the fact is that geologists have never found such evidence.
There are many arguments that can be found that can be falsely accused of this inference.
If the person who told this was not Xu Zhenghua, but another person, the decision makers would definitely think he was crazy.
But Xu Zhenghua said this.
"Is it ridiculous?" Xu Zhenghua whispered: "It's ridiculous indeed. I don't know why, but that's how formulas and data tell me."
The head of state tapped the table gently: "Let Li Cheng call on all the relevant outstanding scientists to review your data."
Xu Zhenghua nodded slightly.
Scientists scattered in different bases gathered in the virtual conference room of the Ministry of Science as quickly as possible. Xu Zhenghua's calculation process and data were immediately released, and a huge wave was caused in the minds of scientists.
Some people blushed and slapped the table excitedly, calling it a fantasy and ridiculous; some people questioned whether Xu Zhenghua's mental state was normal; some people simply tore the documents in front of them into the trash can to protest against the paper, because they believed that asking them to analyze the paper was an insult to their professional knowledge and identity.
Xu Zhenghua looked dull, without giving any explanation, nor had he expressed any opinion.
In fact, even himself fell into deep self-doubt about this absurd conclusion. But facing the formulas derived by himself and the calculated data, theories told him that he should believe these things.
Compared with the virtual conference room of the Ministry of Science, the virtual conference room of the decision makers is still calm.
Policymakers have detached from a scientific level and have thought about the impact of this matter on the situation.
There is an obvious conclusion that if the Sun extinguishing is indeed caused by natural phenomena rather than the influence of the civilization of the Savior, then the things behind this will be quite interesting.
Perhaps, the emperor only predicted the time of this natural phenomenon in advance and decided to use it to exploit what benefits from the human world and force the human world to make greater concessions. Then, the fact that the emperor's attitude towards the human world suddenly changed without any signs and no major changes in the situation can be explained.
It is proactively provoking the human world. It knows that the human world cannot accept the conditions it puts forward, and knows that the human world will inevitably exercise the right of rejection, but it makes unreasonable demands.
It also calculated that after the sun disappears, the human world will inevitably realize that fighting is meaningless and surrender to itself. After that, it pretends to promise that the human world will return the sun, and then the sun will brighten again.
In the human world, the Savior civilization turns its hands to make clouds and rain. It is easy to control a star, and I am afraid that there will be no intention of resistance in the future. But in reality, the Savior civilization does nothing at all.
Decision makers must consider this possibility.
If Xu Zhenghua had not come forward to expose it, all decision makers would be sure that the human world would have made decisions as planned by the emperor. Because no one could have thought that all this was just a natural phenomenon, not the emperor's conspiracy.
This possibility makes all decision makers, including the head of state, feel cold all over the body.
No, no, this inference has a large enough loophole.
Why, why... Xu Zhenghua is not dead?
Why didn’t the emperor kill Xu Zhenghua to prevent his plan from failing?
Questions after question circling in the minds of decision makers. But in the current situation, the only thing they can do is wait for scientists to discuss the results.
At this moment, there was still fierce discussion in the virtual conference room of the Ministry of Science. Some people believe that at least from the framework and logic, Xu Zhenghua's paper is not a problem and has value for further verification, but only a few people. More people think that this paper has no value at all and is simply a madman's rhyme. Some people strongly ask Xu Zhenghua to come out and give a further explanation. Several teams started a fierce debate on this.
But the arrival of the latest news ended everyone's argument in an instant.
A scientist at the Modo Mountains Infrared and Visible Light Observatory uploaded an analysis of observation data.
A star system numbered HD24496, one of the stars disappeared from the observation field about thirteen days ago, but appeared strangely about 15 hours ago.
Data analysis has ruled out the possibility of massive celestial bodies and interstellar dust cloud obstruction.
It is a G-type star with the sun, but its mass, temperature, luminosity, etc. are smaller than that of the sun.
