Chapter 369 Gravity

Blue Lake City base, conference room. After Lu Qingliang also received the notification to go online, the four of them gathered together.

"Lu Ming, tell me quickly, what did you find? What is going on?"

He Wei was full of eagerness. The same is true for Lu Qingliang. Although Zhang Dingshan's expression remained calm, his eyes betrayed his heart.

Faced with this kind of thing, especially as a participant, of course you will have an extreme desire for the truth of the incident.

Lu Ming organized his language and said: "This starts from a conjecture I made. At that time, after summarizing those three elements, I thought of a strange existence..."

He began to tell slowly, from visiting researcher Hu Xiaozheng, to visiting the black hole hunter organization, organizing the search, and so on, until now.

"Black hole? The black hole is close to the solar system and affects us?"

He Wei was a little confused. She couldn't quite figure out the logic and connection. After thinking about it, she still didn't quite understand. She simply stopped thinking about it and just asked: "If it's a black hole, how do you solve it? It's 8.6 light years away. We humans can't even land on Mars. It's impossible to reach such a far place." to exert any influence there.

Even if we could reach that far away, it would be of no use. "

"The solution is actually quite simple."

Lu Ming said solemnly: "Just as researcher Hu Xiaozheng speculated, the increased mass at this moment has destined a fate of 'there will definitely be a decrease in mass' in the future.

This is just like our case. The cursed person commits suicide, which is doomed to the fate of "there must be a reason" in the future.

This cannot be changed.

but……

Although the mass will definitely decrease in the future, from which object will it decrease? Is it a table or a stool, the collider body, or the ceiling of a room? We cannot change our destiny, so can we change the way we achieve this destiny? For example, can we find a way to get this reduced mass out of this table? Or out of the wall?

Looking at the current case, although those who commit suicide must have a reason for committing suicide, but... can we find a way to make the reason for those who commit suicide no longer the tragic experience of those close to them, but other reasons? "

Lu Qingliang was still a little confused. He Wei was thoughtful, while Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "I understand."

He Wei suddenly became excited: "I understand too. In fact, in the final analysis, those who commit suicide just need a reason. This reason must be there, but is this reason the tragic experience of the close person or something else?" The reason, but it doesn’t matter. In this case, we will give him a reason! Give him a reason to commit suicide! As long as there are enough reasons and reasons, their close people will no longer have to be in a miserable situation! "

Lu Qingliang finally woke up this night.

"I see... This should be based on some kind of 'economic' principle, right? After all, the tragic experience of the close person, or the close person's harm to themselves, is the most direct, simplest, most convenient and quickest way to cause the cursed person to commit suicide. The reason. If we don't intervene, this destined 'fate' will appear in the most economical way. So no matter how we try to protect them and prevent them from being harmed, it will be useless. But if we participate By giving the rest of the reasons for the suicides of those cursed, it is possible to prevent those close to them from becoming the cause..."

For example, it is like a family that keeps a thousand dollars in cash at home at all times.

The child of this family owed a debt of 1,000 yuan one day. For some reason, this debt must be repaid. As a result, the fate of "the child must come up with 1,000 yuan to repay the money" is doomed in the future.

Without other interference, the child could only take the one thousand yuan in cash from home to pay back the money, which is equivalent to the fact that in this case, the reason for the victim's suicide was revealed through someone close to him.

But if another person directly gave the child a thousand yuan at this moment, he would no longer have to steal the thousand yuan in cash at home, which is equivalent to the fact that in this case, the reason for the victim's suicide no longer needs to be passed through other people. The Intimate comes to present.

At this moment, Lu Ming's plan is to give those victims another reason to commit suicide. In this way, it is very possible to rescue those close to them and save them from bad luck.

"This plan is very promising!"

In the video, Lu Qingliang stood up and slapped the case: "I really have your Lu Ming, I can think of all this!"

He Wei solemnly said: "Without further delay, we will make arrangements immediately and formulate a plan. During your absence, the situation here is not very good. Several families have already suffered bad luck. The longer the time drags on, the more victims will be. "

Zhang Dingshan pondered slightly, and suddenly asked: "Why Blue Lake City? Why Wang Quan and those masters? And...

I saw information that the black hole's motion speed relative to the solar system is about 68 kilometers per second. Compared to distances of several light years, this speed is very slow. In other words, this black hole will be near the solar system at least thousands of years ago and thousands of years in the future.

So, will we all be affected by this black hole for such a long time? After Wang Quan dies, will a new master appear? "

If this incident was really due to the influence of the black hole, then why was the scope of this incident limited to Blue Lake City? Those survivors, even if they are cursed by Wang Quan, can they be safe as long as they leave Blue Lake City?

Why did that black hole happen to intersect with Blue Lake City?

And why does the influence of the black hole, or the "power" of the black hole, obey the instructions of Wang Quan or the other masters? Whom Wang Quan curses will the power of the black hole show its power?

What’s so special about Blue Lake City and Wang Quan?

Lu Ming didn't know the answers to any of these questions at the moment. However, he also has some related speculations.

"The black hole broke into an interstellar dust cloud at this moment. It was originally dormant and was activated because of new food."

Lu Ming talked about a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with these issues: "By weakening the luminosity of distant stars by this interstellar dust cloud, we can roughly measure its density and size.

The Wenchengcheng team’s observations concluded that the width of this interstellar dust cloud is about 400 billion kilometers. However, the relative motion speed between it and the black hole is about 102 kilometers per second.

At this moment, based on relative position determination, we can calculate that the time when this black hole broke into this interstellar dust cloud and was activated was approximately 129 years ago.

Subtracting the 8.6 years it takes for the black hole's radiation to reach the Earth, this time is about 120 years.

And...do you know what this number means? "

Lu Ming looked at Lu Qingliang, who remained silent. Looking at He Wei, He Wei said with some uncertainty: "The construction time of the Zhou Family Archway seems to be not much different from this number."

"Yes." Lu Ming nodded: "The truth about the construction of the Zhou Family Archway was that the first-generation master wanted to punish the Zhou Family. At that time, we can confirm that he had mastered this power. This time point coincides with the activation of the black hole The time point is so close, I have to suspect that what really causes black holes to affect us is not dormant black holes, but activated black holes.

Only activated black holes can cause this effect. "

Zhang Dingshan nodded slightly: "This guess does have some truth. Well... 102 kilometers per second, a width of 400 billion kilometers, has broken into 129 years, then..."

He raised his head and looked at Lu Ming: "At this moment, the black hole should have left the range of this interstellar dust cloud. At this moment, it should have entered a dormant state again."

It only takes about 124 years in total to pass through this interstellar dust cloud.

Now, if our own observations are correct, it has been away from this interstellar dust cloud for up to 5 years.

Lu Ming shook his head slightly: "But the subsequent impact, which is unknown to us but may also be transmitted at the speed of light, is still reaching the earth continuously. It will take about 3 to 4 years to completely disappear.

If our guess is true, it's actually very simple to verify it. Wait 3 to 4 years to see if Wang Quan's ability disappears. If it really disappears, that means we guessed it right. "

It’s only 3 to 4 years, which is not a long time. At least the four people here, if no one dies due to the accident, will definitely survive until that day.

At the same time, on that day, human civilization will completely lose the ability to observe this black hole.

Because there is no food to eat, a dormant black hole emits almost no radiation to the outside world. It's impossible to see it anymore, except for a bit of gravitational lensing. Even that little bit of gravitational lensing is very difficult to capture.

After all, the mass of this black hole is not very large, only about 2.6 times the mass of the sun. It is truly small in the black hole circle.

The black hole at the center of the Milky Way has a mass of more than 4 million times the mass of the sun. In the centers of other galaxies, and even in the cores of quasars, there are super-giant black holes with masses as high as one billion times the mass of the sun.

"Then we will verify it when the time comes. If Wang Quan's ability really disappears, then the connection between the two things will be completely confirmed."

As for what type of correlation this is, what scientific principles it is based on, what mysteries are hidden in black holes, and what is the process of rigorous proof, that is the job of scientists, not the second action team.

As long as the logic is self-consistent enough and there is enough logical proof, Action Team 2 can already use this to determine certain things.

"And... there are special issues about Blue Lake City and Wang Quan."

Lu Ming pondered for a moment: "I don't know why it is Wang Quan or why it is those 'masters', but why it is Blue Lake City, I found some information."

"Oh? Is there really something special and unique about Blue Lake City?"

"Yes. After highly suspecting that this incident was affected by the black hole close to the solar system, I focused on the special characteristics of Blue Lake City at the physical level. This investigation, I really found something. "

Lu Ming said slowly: "Gravity. On the entire earth, the area where Blue Lake City is located has the lowest gravity."

"gravity?!"

As we all know, the earth’s acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8 meters/S^2. But this is only a rough value and not precise. At the same time, there are slight differences in different places on the earth, depending on factors such as local topography, stratigraphic density, earth rotation speed, etc.

The weight of an object of the same mass will be different between the place where the gravitational acceleration is the greatest and the place where the gravitational acceleration is the smallest on the earth's surface. However, this difference is very small and will not have any impact on daily life.

Blue Lake City is the place where the acceleration of gravity on the earth's surface is the smallest.

Lu Ming said: "I don't know if this factor is the reason why the black hole's influence only comes to the Blue Lake City area, but at present, we can only make this guess. After all, the rest of Blue Lake City is a unique place in the world. It really has nothing to do with black holes or physics.”

For example, Blue Lake City has one of the best in the world. This was selected by a boring media, "Among all the cities in the world, Blue Lake City is the city where 40-year-old middle-class healthy men like to say 'f*ck' the most."

To get Lu Ming to agree that it was because of this particularity that led to the connection between Blue Lake City and the black hole, it would be better to make Lu Ming believe that it was the black hole that went crazy.

Lu Qingliang asked: "Then, why the earth?"

"I don't know." Lu Ming shook his head: "But how can you be sure that it is only the earth? Maybe this phenomenon also exists on other planets, but we just don't know about it. And, similar questions, 'Why the solar system?' I could have given the same answer.”

Lu Qingliang thought for a while and agreed with Lu Ming's point of view.

"Okay. The rest of the questions, regardless of whether they are the truth in the end, at least have a logical answer for the time being. Only 'Why Wang Quan', there is no answer for the time being. But let's not worry about this for the time being. Let’s deal with the misfortune that will befall those close to the victims.”

Lu Qingliang looked at Lu Ming again: "What exactly do you plan to do?"

Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "Based on the current situation, the reasons for the deceased to commit suicide under natural development conditions all conform to this criterion, that is: 'If the deceased is still alive at this moment, the situation at this moment will make him choose to commit suicide. '. It would be great for us to follow this principle and do something that would force him to commit suicide if he were still alive."

"Family No. 725."

Zhang Dingshan directly stated this number: "There are currently only orphans and widowed mothers in this family. The daughter is working during the summer vacation, and the mother is doing part-time jobs. So far, this family has encountered up to 4 crises, each one getting more serious. Although we have solved them all, we are not confident that we will solve them next time.

Let’s use this family as a guinea pig. "
