As time passed, the planet on Earth, which carries all the hopes of human civilization, finally turned into an ordinary star. ◇↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ Novel.￥f At least in Zhao Lan's opinion. The earth has no other characteristics except that it is a little brighter than other planets in the galaxy.

Zhao Lan's Sylvia spacecraft had been sailing in the vast universe for three days. During these three days, Li Yunfan sent Zhao Lan a batch of observation information about the empty universe where he was. Because the spacecraft Li Yunfan was riding was not a professional scientific research spacecraft, the information sent was not complete or accurate, but even so, the information was enough to make Zhao Lan feel heavy in his heart.

That universe... is really terrible. It's a piece of stagnant water and an empty space. Zhao Lan even doubts whether there is the concept of "time" in that universe. Time is a physical quantity that describes the movement of matter. Without matter, there will naturally be no time, or time is meaningless. For that universe, there is no difference between ten thousand years or 100 million years. Under this situation, the spaceship Li Yunfan was riding on could actually maintain the normal passage of time, which is the most incredible thing that made Zhao Lan feel the most incredible.

Moreover, it does not seem to be troubled by entropy increase or energy loss. An empty, completely empty universe has a fixed entropy value, and a spacecraft arranged in a certain law does not have a lower entropy value. According to cosmological laws, the matter of the spacecraft tends to diverge and eventually spreads completely uniformly throughout the entire universe. Although according to the existing cosmological theory, this time will be long, but it is not a normal universe. Who knows what strange physical laws will be used in that universe.

Everything is unknown there, and at the same time, everything is dangerous. Li Yunfan's life can be said to be in danger at any time. But even so, Li Yunfan still maintained a normal psychology and emotions without being affected by the environment at all. This is what makes Zhao Lan admire the most.

The more I know Li Yunfan, the more I admire Li Yunfan. Sometimes Zhao Lan even has this idea: "If this star disaster is real, if human civilization really faces the threat of a life-and-death crisis... Maybe human civilization really has to rely on Li Yunfan to survive this crisis. Li Yunfan might be able to turn the tide like my ancestor Zhao Huasheng. After all, this person is too powerful. I don't know who else can compete with him in human civilization."

During these three days of voyage, Zhao Lan was nearly 30 million kilometers away from the earth, and the point in the Robachevsky space was still less than one million kilometers away. After finally confirming some things with Li Yunfan, Zhao Lan set the spacecraft into an automatic navigation mode, then left the driving position, came to the control cabin, preparing to operate the most sophisticated observation instruments to start the measurement.

Optical instruments first choose to project a circle on a flat screen prepared in advance and in a vacuum environment. The circumference data of the circle is stored in the instrument. Zhao Lan manipulates the observation instrument to start measuring the diameter of the circle. After obtaining the diameter data, Zhao Lan divides the circumference and diameter and obtains a series of data.

"Three points, 14, 15, 92, 6, 57..." Zhao Lan silently recited the string of numbers. Zhao Lan was very familiar with this string of numbers. In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, Zhao Lan had already remembered all the numbers from the decimal point to one thousand digits. Zhao Lan compared this series of numbers with the precise pi numbers calculated through mathematical calculations, and then came to the conclusion: "The instrument's measurement accuracy of pi is as high as 300,000 digits after the decimal point."

Because this string of numbers is exactly the same as the first 300,000 digits of the standard pi, a slight difference occurs only after 300,000 digits. This shows that at least the first 300,000 digits of the measurement data of this instrument are correct.

Zhao Lan changed the size of the circle projected by the optical instrument again, and then measured it several times repeatedly to finally confirm this. After confirming the accuracy, Zhao Lan stopped operating and started waiting.

The spacecraft was still driving quietly. Because the spacecraft was slowing down, it took the spacecraft a full eight hours to complete the distance of one million kilometers. Then the spacecraft remained at a relatively quiet state from the sun and stopped here.

The universe here is no different from the universes elsewhere. They are both the same empty and the same darkness. Zhao Lan's gaze can still see the stars in the sky through the porthole, the bright sun in the distance, and the planet with a slightly blue light next to the sun. The spacecraft is also working normally here. The navigation instrument and the gyroscope are also working normally without any abnormalities.

But Zhao Lan knew that this was unusual. Because mathematical model calculations showed that this place must be different from other places. If this is a normal space, it means that the mathematical calculation process was wrong. Zhao Lan thought that such a thing could not happen.

Zhao Lan took a deep breath, manipulated the optical instrument to reflect a circle again in the vacuum environment. Then he used the measuring instrument to measure it again. The two numbers were quickly drawn and entered into the calculation program to start the calculation. Soon, the number extended out of hundreds of thousands of digits, and it was still extending rapidly.

The measurement accuracy of this instrument is 300,000 bits, so there is no need for too many bits. Zhao Lan stopped the calculation process and then input the pi data obtained this time into the comparison program through the program. The program only ran for a moment and presented the calculation results.

Zhao Lan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the calculation result. The calculation result was as Zhao Lan expected, and the pi data measured in this Robachevsky space... was exactly the same as the first 237,684 digits of the pi data measured in Euclidean space before, and a deviation occurred at 237,685 digits.

The measured data in the standard space is four, while the measured number here is six.

Zhao Lan already knows that the measurement accuracy of this instrument is 300,000 bits. In other words, the first 300,000 bits of these two strings of different numbers are correct, but they are different from each other, which can only prove that... it is the space that changes. There are some distortions or inequality in space here, and it is this change in space that leads to the change of pi.

The results of a measurement may be a bit inaccurate, so Zhao Lan repeatedly made dozens of measurements. However, the results obtained by each measurement are exactly the same, and the number above the digit is six each time.

Zhao Lan let out a light breath, then stopped measuring, and stored all the computing data on the computer. To this day, everything Li Yunfan said has been confirmed, and... the real situation is even worse than what Li Yunfan said.

Because Zhao Lan realized that the increase in space curvature seemed to be accelerating. The greater the space curvature, the faster the stars disappeared, and the faster the earth fell into that empty universe. This is obviously not a good thing for human civilization.

Zhao Lan felt a little urgency in her heart.

"I have finished measuring." Zhao Lan whispered, "Your words have been confirmed. The space around the earth, or in the solar system, has indeed changed. The earth... is indeed falling into that empty universe."

This is a very bad result. Before this measurement appeared, Zhao Lan even prayed in her heart that all this would not happen. Zhao Lan would rather have these experiences be deceived by Li Yunfan and his organization than to be true. Because the deception is only aimed at himself, and if the disaster of the stars is real... it faces all mankind.

Now, all the hope in Zhao Lan's heart has finally been completely shattered. The most cruel truth has been presented to Zhao Lan.

Li Yunfan's reply arrived after the communication delay, and his voice was still lazily: "Now you finally believe me?"

Zhao Lan did not answer this question directly, but asked a little helplessly: "What should I do? What should we do with our human civilization? The current technological level of our human civilization is not enough to affect space... Can we find a way to prevent the earth from falling into the empty universe?"

Faced with Zhao Lan's slightly panicked question, the laziness in Li Yunfan's words finally disappeared, replaced by a firmness like steel: "Zhao Lan, you must believe that the potential of our human civilization is infinite. As long as a disaster occurs, there will be heroes who can turn the tide and change everything. In the sun crisis, your ancestor Zhao Huasheng is such a hero, and in this crisis, there will be heroes who can compete with Zhao Huasheng."

The strong confidence and firmness in Li Yunfan's words finally calmed down Zhao Lan's emotions. Zhao Lan whispered: "I'm sorry, I, I'm losing my composure. Indeed, we still have time, and now we are far from despair. I will return to the 105 Institute and announce these things to scientists of all mankind. I believe that with the efforts of all mankind, we will definitely find a solution to the problem."

"Don't forget to share your research conclusions with me," said Li Yunfan. "I don't have the ability to conduct scientific research now, but I think that as long as I have data and data support, my brain can still make some contribution to humans."

Zhao Lan replied in a low voice: "Yes." (To be continued.)
