At 4:30 in the morning BJ time, a touch of red cloud gradually painted the surface of the "Tiangong", and the huge "Feng"-shaped structure of the space station gradually appeared in the dark space.
Liu Wei has lived on the space station for more than half a year, and he is no longer surprised to see more than ten sunrises and sunsets here every day. When not on duty, he still maintains the life routine he developed on the ground. At 11 p.m.
I fall asleep at around 4 o'clock in the morning and wake up to work around 4 o'clock in the morning.
He got out of his sleeping bag, first took out a piece of "dentifrice" and put it into his mouth to chew - this is the astronaut's unique way of gargling. Then he unfolded a small wet wipe and briefly wiped the corners of his eyes and face in the mirror. After cleaning up, he
, then hummed a little tune and floated towards his work station.
His main job on the space station is to monitor and collect data on sunspot and solar wind activities.
The other crew members hadn't gotten up yet. Only the instrument panel and ambient lighting strips were glowing dimly in the cabin, but they were soon illuminated by the sunlight shining through the portholes.
As usual, Liu Wei's first job was to routinely check the X-ray telescope's observation records of the sun in the past few hours. The data showed that just half an hour ago, the hydrogen and helium particle parameters of the solar wind once went negative.
The peak value dropped abnormally and lasted for nearly a minute.
Liu Wei has studied these data repeatedly for a while, but it is not clear why this phenomenon occurs. Under normal circumstances, the changes in the number of solar wind particles are basically within a threshold range. Only when solar activity intensifies will the upward breakthrough of the threshold appear.
Single peak or multi-peak state; but after that, it will still return to the threshold range. And this time the negative peak value is exactly the single peak that breaks through the threshold downward and shows a sharp decrease, which is very rare! So, he started to call out X
The observation records of the ray telescope are played back frame by frame in order to find some clues...
Suddenly, his attention focused on one of the frames - in the halo of the sun's corona, there seemed to be a dark object floating loomingly.
At first, he thought that the surface of the telescope was stained with large particles of interstellar dust that affected the image quality. This situation had occurred before, but the current object was almost a standard spherical shape in the light of the corona, which obviously did not look like a
Caused by impurities on the lens.
Liu Wei continued to look at the subsequent pictures and found that within one minute, this spherical object had undergone significant displacement in the corona!
"Oh my God! What is this?" He couldn't help shouting.
He compared the appearance time of the unknown object recorded by the X-ray telescope with the solar wind parameter change data received by the instrument. After calculating the time difference between the two using a computer, he proved that the number of hydrogen and helium particles in the solar wind dropped sharply to the negative peak.
It happened at the same time as the appearance of this object! Then, he calculated its diameter based on the mutual ratio of the object and the sun, and the result was even more incredible to him - the diameter of this spherical object was at least more than 130,000 kilometers. This means that it
Its size is even comparable to Jupiter!
Liu Wei immediately woke up the other crew members of the space station and informed them of the incident.
After carefully checking Liu Wei's observation records, commander Pan Zhaoyu said silently: "This black shadow has appeared on foreign websites before, and it was said to be photographed by NASA. Because NASA did not make a public explanation or explanation about this at the time.
explanation, so everyone thought it was just someone trying to impress people. Now it seems that this object may really exist!"
"It's so big... could it be the mysterious ninth planet?" Someone was muttering.
"Impossible!" Liu Wei said. "It is near the solar corona. If it were the ninth planet, it would have exceeded the Roche limit long ago. It would be torn to pieces by the sun's gravity, and there is no way it is still there!" p>
"Then is it a celestial body? Or a celestial phenomenon?"
Pan Zhaoyu frowned and said nothing. He believed that this was not a celestial phenomenon, but probably an unknown celestial body. Thinking of the XK-1 celestial body that appeared at the beginning of the year and entered the solar system, a kind of worry and fear filled his heart.<
/p>
Although Pan Zhaoyu is only in his early 40s this year, he has recorded many space flights. He is also the oldest and most qualified among the astronauts performing this space station scientific research mission. He is known for his rigor, rationality and persistence.
During the more than 180 days on the "Tiangong" this time, he spent almost ten hours every day devoted to work, and even gave up several video calls with his family on the ground, and gave the opportunity to other members of the team.
.For this reason, his daughter, who has just entered the first grade of elementary school, complained very much to him. Fortunately, his wife is a very reasonable person. Not only did she take the initiative to take on all the responsibilities of taking care of her daughter's study and life, she also repeatedly advised him not to miss his daughter and encouraged him.
He works with peace of mind and successfully completes the task.
Now, facing this unknown celestial body that appears near the sun and is more than 1,000 times larger than the earth, Pan Zhaoyu can't help but see the smiles of his wife and daughter again...
The winter in Nanbin City is warm. There are still green grass and flowers among the buildings and along the avenue. Even if people are doing outdoor activities, they only need to put on a thin cashmere sweater at most. The cold current sweeps in from Siberia.
, due to the obstruction of Nanling, it has become the end of the war and has lost all its power.
Jacob, who comes from the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, likes the spring-like feeling here. Compared with the cold cave life, here he can enjoy the bright sunshine and breathe the fresh air freely. If it were not for the God Anu,
mission, he prefers to live here for a long time.
The information Katz conveyed to the Elders of the Society of God made them suddenly panic. The hierarchical advantage over ordinary humans formed over hundreds of years may be difficult to resist the invasion of an unknown civilization. And where does this unknown civilization come from? What will happen to it?
Endangering the evolution of earth's civilization? How far is the end of human destiny... These have become realities that the elders of the Gods and the immortal human race must consider.
Jacob knows very well that these immortal people are just a special group of people living on the earth. They coexist with ordinary humans and need to supplement energy through food and maintain body temperature through clothing like ordinary humans; the difference is that they can
By communicating with each other or influencing others with their thoughts, they can also sense the coming of risks in advance - this is their instinct for long-term survival. They can see and touch it, so in order to avoid exposing the secret of their super long lifespan, they must move frequently.
Or live a secluded life. However, from ancient times to the present, immortal people have been passing down one thing from generation to generation: in a mysterious and inaccessible place, there is a higher level of immortal human beings - because they possess the creative power.
The genes of the world god "Amoada" can come and go without a trace like the wind. These high-level immortal people are the real protectors of the home of life on earth.
The elders of the Anu God Society have always hoped to establish contact with high-level immortal people, but they have never been able to do so. In the long history they have experienced, although there have been messengers who can receive the thoughts of the gods from time to time, they all come from a long time ago.
Most of the legends were "eureka moments". In confusion and helplessness, they felt that they were actually as insignificant as ordinary humans. Therefore, when they realized that Aisen might be the messenger they were looking for, how could they let go?
Pass this opportunity?!
Among the information received by Eisen, one thing puzzled Jacob, that is, the solar energy is experiencing an abnormal decrease. Generally, scientists predict that the sun is currently in the middle and prime stage of its life cycle, and its lifespan is still
5 billion years, compared to humans who have only been born for two to three million years, it is far from the time to worry about things. Therefore, if the "marginal space" suddenly tells Eisen that the energy of the sun is abnormally declining, it should be a warning to Eisen.
Human beings are warned that other major events are about to happen.
This is the main reason why Jacob came to Nanbin again.
Jacob and Katz met at the outdoor tea seat of a cafe. As usual, the two of them did not need to speak to each other. They could communicate only by the exchange of ideas, so that the people sitting next to them had no idea that they were doing it.
What, or they just thought they were waiting for someone.
"Eisen should be the messenger we are looking for. 'Marginal Space' has been transmitting information through him, but it's not clear why they use passwords instead of a more direct method. '601' has now gathered a group of life sciences,
Experts in astronomy, aerospace dynamics, psychology and code-breaking, they also obtained some fragmented information from Eisen, but they can only speculate and cannot verify the accuracy or form a conclusion." Katz reported to Jacobs.<
/p>
"We should bring Eisen back to the Kunlun Mountain base as soon as possible. Only under our protection will he be absolutely safe."
"It's still very difficult to do at the moment. In fact, '601' has very complete protection measures for Eisen, and I have almost no chance to contact him alone. Moreover, they have also strictly protected and monitored me. Therefore, he is
It should be safe here."
"Eisen is the messenger, we must rely on him to establish contact with the gods. Now the crisis is coming, we don't know how long the time is left for us, we can only place our hope in him!"
Jacob closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then continued to look at Katz: "They already know your identity as an immortal, but they have not disclosed it to the world, which shows that they are still very cautious about it. Or, in other words, they are really
They want to cooperate with us. If this is the case, we need to add another bargaining chip!"
"You mean..."
"I can tell them that I am also an eternal person."
"Oh my god! But you are the elder of the God Association!"
Jacob's gaze suddenly looked over Katz's shoulder. "Who is that woman? She is spying on us!"
Katz didn't look back. He knew that Jacob saw Mei Zi sitting at a nearby table drinking milk tea. He knew exactly what she looked like now, so he dismissed her.
"She is Dr. Plum." Katz smiled slightly. "She also came to work at '601'. Her main task was to study me, but she got nothing. I knew she was following me, so after getting here I
It has already hypnotized her."
"You seem to like her a bit." Jacob looked at Katz.
Katz knew that Jacob could see through him completely. In fact, he admitted that he did already have a little crush on Meizi, so he didn't explain much.
"Are you sure that she will not interfere with your consciousness and behavior?"
"Please don't worry! It won't happen!"
When Jacob and Katz left, Meizi also stood up, mechanically following them like an out-of-body body. But in her eyes, there was only Katz, not Jacob.
She didn’t know how she walked to the side of the road or got into the taxi. It wasn’t until the driver repeatedly asked about her destination that she woke up as if from a dream.
"Excuse me, where are you going?"
"Oh... go to Science and Technology City. Sorry, I was thinking about something just now and didn't hear you."
