Earth Era

There is a very obvious fact in front of Zhao Huasheng and all human beings on the earth, and that is the most basic law of conservation of mass and energy. This law shows that energy cannot disappear for no reason, so if there is some kind of blocking material in the solar photosphere, then... where does the blocked energy go?

Maybe that kind of blocking material forms an endothermic layer, but the radiation power of the entire sun is very terrifying. What kind of heat absorption layer can withstand such a huge energy shock?

A word appeared in Zhao Huasheng's mind, Dyson sphere.

Dyson sphere is a kind of virtual sphere that fully utilizes the energy of the sun in the speculation of human civilization. This virtual sphere can consist of many mirrors that completely envelop the entire star, absorbing all the energy it radiates.

The Kardashov index divides the possible civilizations in the universe into three levels, namely K1, K2, and K3. A K1-level civilization can utilize the energy of an entire planet, a K2-level civilization can utilize the energy of an entire star, and a K3-level civilization can utilize the energy of an entire river system. According to the Kardashov index, the Dyson sphere is the most iconic product of the K2-level civilization. Obviously, by creating a Dyson sphere, the energy of an entire star can be harnessed. And if the speculated heat sink really exists in the photosphere of the sun, is it a type of Dyson sphere?

One thing that needs to be pointed out is that according to the grading standard of the Kardashov Index, the human civilization on earth at this moment is only a K0.7 civilization, and there is still a lot of distance from the Dyson sphere. And if a certain civilization really came to the sun and created a Dyson sphere around the sun to try to absorb all the energy of the sun... Then, with the strength of human civilization K0.7, it is impossible to fight against a K2 level anyway. Civilized.

If this is really the case, then this is undoubtedly the end of human civilization.

"Fortunately, this is only a preliminary inference, it is unlikely to be true." Zhao Huasheng thought, "The physical world has some commonalities, even if it is a K2-level civilization that is much more advanced than us, it is unlikely to go It violates some basic laws of physics. Just like the law of gravity is still in use today when the theory of relativity has made great progress. If it is really a Dyson sphere, then it must have follow-up energy harvesting devices, and we have not observed it at this moment. to the presence of energy harvesting devices.”

"The Thunderstorm Mercury probe has changed its trajectory and is rushing to the other side of the sun at full speed. We will get accurate information from the back of the sun in about five days... Everything, let's wait until then." Zhao Huasheng sighed He took a breath and put down the information in his hand.

Zhao Huasheng stood up and walked to the window.

A bright red sun hung under the western sky, and it was already evening. The air conditioner in the room was not turned on, so Zhao Huasheng, who had recovered from the document, immediately felt a chill. Pedestrians on the street are all in a hurry, and even the constantly flashing neon lights seem to have a depressing meaning for some unknown reason.

Meng Zhuo was still missing, and he didn't know where he was hiding. Zhao Huasheng didn't care about him, he just took a piece of bread and swallowed it, and then sat down in front of the computer again.

This time, Zhao Huasheng didn't go to check some information or the like, but came to several well-known forums.

After casually flipping through some posts complaining about the recent abnormal weather, Zhao Huasheng refreshed the page, and a title jumped into Zhao Huasheng's eyes.

"The recent abnormal decrease in temperature is not due to the climate! It is the decrease in the level of solar radiation!"

Zhao Huasheng frowned and clicked on the post.

There is no specific observational data in the post. The poster claimed that he was an astronomy enthusiast who happened to have a set of solar observation equipment in his hand. At some point, he aimed the observation instrument at the sun, and after detailed observation and calculation came to this conclusion. At the end of the post, the poster also wrote in a very scary tone: "The government must have known about these things, but the government has concealed it, and we have reason to suspect that the government is doing something secretly. As for these actions Whether it is to build an underground shelter or a population screening program is unknown. In short, the government is unreliable now, and all we can do is save ourselves! From now on, store as much food, water and fuel as possible, earth The end is coming!"

Some of the replies below expressed doubts and some ridiculed them. Basically, no one believed these words. But Zhao Huasheng's worries became more and more serious.

This matter can't be kept secret for long. Quite simply, observing changes in solar radiation intensity is not something that requires high-end equipment and theory. Any veteran astronomer who actually spends some time observing the Sun in detail can come to the same conclusion. The government can monopolize all communication channels, but the government cannot monopolize knowledge.

Zhao Huasheng came to a certain professional astronomy forum again. The speech here verified Zhao Huasheng's idea. Here, the "reduction of solar radiation intensity" has basically become a recognized thing, but the people here obviously do not have much information. What they are discussing is only the formation mechanism of this event and the background behind it. physical principles.

They still regard this event as a normal process of solar activity, and have not suspected other aspects.

"But...if the level of solar radiation doesn't go up, they'll figure that out sooner or later. At that time, the information will spread to the whole society from people with astronomy expertise as the source, and everyone will know these things. This process is unstoppable, irreversible. By that time... there is no telling how many riots will break out above society, how many people will die."

"I hope the processing center is ready to deal with the riots... I hope that the construction of large-scale shelters near the equator can be completed before the riots become uncontrollable." Zhao Huasheng sighed deeply and turned off the computer.

It's already eight or nine o'clock. For the summer night, this time is still early. But Zhao Huasheng has no interest in doing other things. Zhao Huasheng took a simple shower and lay down on the bed.

Zhao Huasheng has a habit of lying in bed and thinking about things before falling asleep at night, integrating the information he has received throughout the day, and digging deeply into the aura that occasionally pops up during the day. Now, Zhao Huasheng hopes that he can draw conclusions by sorting out the information he obtained during the day at the most efficient time of the day.

But unfortunately, Zhao Huasheng's thoughtful thinking did not get any effect, but this thinking seriously affected Zhao Huasheng's sleep. Whenever Zhao Huasheng closed his eyes, a scene would appear in his mind. In this scene, the sky was snowing heavily, the cold wind was blowing constantly, and the tired people put all the clothes they could find. Clothed on the body but still unable to resist the invasion of the cold, someone suddenly fell down and died while walking, and the surviving people can fight for even a little food or fuel, life is in this scene. So humble, so insignificant.

That is hell, it is the cruelest **** that human beings can imagine. Civilization dies, order collapses, people degenerate into pure beasts without any morals, without any law and conscience, who can do anything in order to survive... that's the end of civilization. No, not just human civilization, that is the end of all life on earth.

A sense of mission and responsibility is forcing Zhao Huasheng to stay awake, forcing Zhao Huasheng to turn his brain desperately, trying hard to think about ways to change all this. Therefore, Zhao Huasheng still did not fall asleep until the early morning.

The sun once again completed a cycle of its own, emerging from below the horizon again, and pouring its already quite weak light and heat onto the earth. The cool morning breeze blew toward Zhao Huasheng from the open window, making Zhao Huasheng wrap his quilt tightly again.

There has never been such a moment when Zhao Huasheng feels that sunshine and warmth are so important. For the past four billion years, the Earth has been bathed in a steady stream of light and heat from the sun, so stable that all life on Earth ignores its existence and sees it as something something as it should be. Until it begins to show signs of fading, life on earth, including humans, can truly appreciate its preciousness. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Because sunshine means life. There is no life without sunlight.

Zhao Huasheng lifted the quilt, exposing his chest to the cold morning air. Zhao Huasheng was unkempt, with a shaggy beard and pale complexion, described as haggard, but Zhao Huasheng's eyes were bright. There is a power emanating from the depths of the heart supporting Zhao Huasheng's body. Zhao Huasheng got up and washed his face casually without brushing his hair or teeth.

"Meng Zhuo, are you there?" Zhao Huasheng called to the empty room.

"I'm here." Meng Zhuo walked out from the balcony with an indifferent face and no expression, his body still straight, and his clothes still neat.

Zhao Huasheng has long been used to Meng Zhuo's elusiveness. It seems that no matter when Zhao Huasheng calls Meng Zhuo, Meng Zhuo will immediately appear neatly dressed and appear in front of Zhao Huasheng with an indifferent face.

"Drive, take me to the research institute, I'm going to find something..." Zhao Huasheng said.
