Zhao Lan is the discoverer of this quasar.∈◆, Zhao Lan still remembers that at that time, he first entered his father's research institute. Perhaps because his father thought he was too naughty and did not let him affect his work, so his father gave himself a photo after technical processing and told himself that if he could find the fifty hidden spots from this, his father would take him to the playground to play on weekends.

But Zhao Lan searched and found only forty-nine. The remaining light spot could not be found anyway. In order to allow her always busy father to take her to the amusement park, the young Zhao Lan refused to admit defeat and sat on the ground, searching for the photo for a whole morning, one by one, one pixel by one. Finally, in a corner of the row and one column, Zhao Lan found a light spot that was slightly brighter than the surrounding pixels.

That was a very small difference. If Zhao Lan had not calmed down and kept searching, Zhao Lan would not have discovered this. Zhao Lan, who found this spot of light, excitedly told her father about this discovery. Perhaps she could not bear to hurt her enthusiasm. Her father still used his work authority to aim the telescope's observation angle at the highlight displayed in the photo, so... he really discovered a distant and ancient quasar.

This quasar is too far away. Although it is extremely powerful, the light it emits has gone through a long journey of 10 billion light years. When it arrives on the earth, it can only enhance the brightness of only one pixel on the negative of the high-precision telescope. This difference is so small that even electronic programs ignore it, and just regard it as a product of light pollution or gravitational lenses, and does not analyze it in detail. But it did not miss Zhao Lan's search. It was Zhao Lan's work that morning that gave another number to the list of human civilization's astral bodies.

As promised, his father led Zhao Lan to the amusement park for a whole day, and the door to Zhao Lan's astronomy world was also opened. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Lan took the same path as his father in the future and became a Tian Family.

More than twenty years have passed since this incident. The strong and energetic father, who used to be, had already passed away due to illness, but this incident has been buried deep in Zhao Lan's memory. This quasar means a lot to Zhao Lan. It not only means the dream of youth, but also means the father's loving and generous gaze.

But now, it disappeared under Zhao Lan's gaze, and disappeared without any signs. Just like when his father left him.

Zhao Lan left his office. After reporting this to the person in charge of the observation base, Zhao Lan got higher authority to call the sky-covering telescope with a higher share of usage. In addition to observations in the optical band, Zhao Lan also got permission to use telescopes in radiation such as gamma rays, soft x-rays, hard x-rays, infrared bands, etc.

Zhao Lan can be sure that there are absolutely no errors in the position and direction parameters he inputs into the telescope console. However, no matter which type of observation it is, the returned one is blank and dark. All observation results clearly tell Zhao Lan that there is no object that can be detected by human civilization in that direction.

However... Zhao Lan's previous observation records clearly and clearly recorded that in that direction and at that location, there was a quasar, and even, just two hours ago, Zhao Lan was still staring at it.

The vastness and depth of the universe made Zhao Lan feel a little powerless. After all Zhao Lan's search attempts failed, Zhao Lan even wanted to go to that place to see it himself. See what happened there and what kind of existence could swallow a powerful quasar. But Zhao Lan clearly knew that the word 10 billion light years meant not only the distance in space, but also the distance in time. 10 billion light years meant that the light transmitted to the earth from there was emitted from 10 billion years ago. Even if he could reach that position, he did not return to his ability 10 billion years ago...

What exactly happened in the universe?

It is obvious that a powerful quasar cannot disappear for no reason. The quasar is composed of a supermassive black hole in the center and an accretion disk that circulates it and is bound by its powerful gravity. The diameter of the quasar is only a few light days, but its radiation power is much stronger than the Milky Way, which has a diameter of 100,000 light years. Its radiation power comes from the collision and friction of the accretion disk materials, whether it is the radiation in the visible light band or the radiation in other bands.

Then, of course, a quasar will "dead". When it finally swallows up all the matter surrounding its accretion disk, the central black hole will quiet down and no longer release the radiation, so people will naturally not be able to observe it. But... it only took ten minutes for this quasar to go from normal luminosity to complete disappearance. It was only ten minutes... How could it take a long journey from strong to death?

This is absolutely impossible. But why did it disappear?

Zhao Lan finally gave up on her desire to continue searching. Zhao Lan left the operating room, wrote an observation log in his office, recorded what she saw and heard today, and then went back to prepare for a rest.

"Maybe a cloud of dust happened to pass there and blocked the radiation of the quasar." Zhao Lan thought this way, comforting himself like this. "I think it only takes a few days at most, the dust cloud will float away and the quasar will reappear."

It is not uncommon in the universe that the star body disappears due to the obstruction of dust clouds. There is the most obvious example that humans cannot see the core of the Milky Way from the visible light band until now because of the obstruction of dust clouds. However, if this quasar disappears because of the obstruction of dust clouds, its situation is different from the situation in the core of the Milky Way. Obviously, the dust cloud did not block the quasar before, but now it blocks, then it must have movement. If it exists, then it will inevitably continue to move until it leaves the obstruction path.

However, there are some loopholes in this explanation. Because the blockage of dust clouds is unlikely to block all bands of radiation, and now, Zhao Lan cannot see this quasar from the telescope he uses.

"Stay waiting for a while." Zhao Lan thought so.

Then Zhao Lan waited for more than a month. During this more than a month, Zhao Lan would take time to observe the quasar every day. However, Zhao Lan never found anything. With no choice, Zhao Lan had no choice but to write a work report and submitted it to the Central Academy of Sciences, hoping to use the power of the Central Academy of Sciences to find a reasonable explanation for this matter.

After this matter was temporarily completed, Zhao Lan once again received a message from Xu Ming, the head of Mars Port.

"Hello, Ms. Zhao Lan, according to the requirements of the current laws of human civilization, I will inform you of some latest progress in the theft of your Sylvia spacecraft."

Xu Ming's appearance has not changed much, but the hair on his head has become even thinner. It seems that Xu Ming has been suffocated by the spacecraft theft case for a while.

"After our joint government departments conducted a lot of investigations, we have basically confirmed that this matter was done by Li Yunfan." Xu Ming said with a wry smile, "because we found some of Li Yunfan's unique means of committing crimes within the port of Mars, as well as some marks that he deliberately left to declare his identity. Yes, Li Yunfan stole your spaceship, but we still don't know the specific reason."

"The department responsible for tracking the whereabouts of the spacecraft has not made much progress. We have carried out a lot of work and finally locked the last place where the spacecraft appeared, which is only three million kilometers away from the earth, which is already within the monitoring range of the 108 space base. Any flight instruments entering and leaving the earth from this direction will be inspected and recorded by the 108 space base, but the 108 base does not record any data about your spacecraft. After that time period, all the recording equipment in our civilization did not see your spacecraft again. In other words, after the Silvia spacecraft arrived near the 108 observation base...it suddenly disappeared. No one knew where it went, and no one knew what methods Li Yunfan used to do this. So far, several months have passed, and we still cannot trace any clues."

When Zhao Lan heard Xu Ming talk about this, he moved a little in his heart. Because Zhao Lan found that there seemed to be something in common between the Sylvia spacecraft and the disappearance of the quasar. This common point is that both of them suddenly disappeared inexplicably. With the power of human civilization, no reasonable explanation for this disappearance can be found.

But Zhao Lan then dispelled the idea. A quasar 10 billion light years away and a modern small spacecraft of human civilization. If there is any connection between them, this is the most incredible thing.

"This is probably a coincidence." Zhao Lan thought so.

"We are still investigating this matter, but I will say in my personal capacity, Ms. Zhao Lan. You should not have any fantasies about retrieving your spaceship report." Xu Ming said, "Li Yunfan is too elusive. Unless he appears on his own, we probably won't be able to catch him..."

"Okay." Zhao Lan replied, "I know it's not your fault. As long as you finally compensate me for my new spaceship, I promise not to continue to pursue this matter."

Although he was a little regretful about the theft of the Sylvia spacecraft, Zhao Lan was an easy-going person and did not want to make things too difficult for Xu Ming.

"Thank you for your cooperation." After a delay in communication, Xu Ming's figure appeared on the communication instrument again and bowed to Zhao Lan repeatedly: "We will definitely deliver the new spacecraft to you as soon as possible."

After pausing for a while, Xu Ming continued hesitantly: "Ms. Zhao Lan, we think we should tell you in advance...that is...you are famous."

"Me? Am I famous?" Zhao Lan felt a little strange about this sentence.

Xu Ming said with a wry smile: "Ms. Zhao Lan, you know, as the most legendary thief, Li Yunfan has many fanatical fans and extremely high attention in our society. Anyone who is involved in Li Yunfan will receive public attention. Now the same is true. Li Yunfan used all kinds of incredible methods to finally steal one of your ordinary spacecraft. The media has discovered... and has been reported and spread to society. You know, this is the first time that Li Yunfan has had a relationship with a young, excellent and beautiful lady like you. And because you are the only direct descendant of Zhao Huasheng, the savior of humanity, your identity is also quite special... So now, there have been many speculations about you and Li Yunfan in society. You are now... more famous than stars."

"What media have reported this and mentioned my name?" A sudden burst of anger in Zhao Lan's mind: "I'm going to the court to sue them for violating my privacy rights!"

Li Yunfan is a very legendary thief. Until now, except for this name, all personal information about Li Yunfan has not been leaked. Every case he has made is incredible and earth-shaking, but these cases have one thing in common, that is, these cases are not socially harmful, and no one suffers from these cases. Strictly speaking, these cases of Li Yunfan are more like pranks. One is because of their mystery, and the other is because of the entertainment of pranks, Li Yunfan naturally has a very high reputation, and even has many fanatical fans and admirers. In this case, Zhao Lan was implicated, and it became a natural thing to be attracted by the public because of Li Yunfan.

"This matter is also caused by our inappropriate confidentiality measures." Xu Ming continued to smile bitterly, "We will cooperate with your accusation and provide you with all the evidence of accusation you need. At the same time, we will also give you proper compensation for the trouble caused by our mistakes in work..." (To be continued.)
