The sky is of course the most likely source of fluctuations. In the universe, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, high-energy particles and various rays are like a pot of boiling soup, oscillating back and forth endlessly.
And the energy they contain is also amazing.
Just take the fast radio burst as an example - after the GW binary neutron star merger event, a powerful fast radio burst arrived at the earth. This fast radio burst lasted for 1.7 seconds and released X-ray energy equal to that released by the sun in five years.
The total energy of.
Compared with the extremely occasional fast radio bursts, pulsars are more "stable" and more violent. This "blinking" celestial body is the product of a supernova explosion. It is also a neutron star, but its rotation speed is astonishingly fast
.Their rotation period ranges from 0.0014 seconds to 11.765 seconds. And the period is very stable.
Pulsars also emit fast radio bursts, but the conditions for their occurrence are more stringent. Only after a supernova explosion with sufficient mass is it possible to leave behind a rapidly rotating neutron star and an extremely dense surrounding free electron cluster.<
/p>
Under the rapid rotation of the pulsar, its magnetic axis will also undergo strong periodic changes. The surrounding free electrons will be transformed into projectiles shot by the slingshot under the action of the rapidly changing magnetic axis.
The emission frequency ranges from 0.0014 seconds to 11.765 seconds, and the energy of a single emission is almost equivalent to the total energy released by the sun in one year. The number of such celestial bodies, which can be called cosmic Gatling, is relatively limited even in the entire universe.
.
This level of celestial activity would presumably meet the conditions for a "huge disturbance." However, according to Baozi's investigation, in the records of the entire two hundred years before the Great Collapse, no qualified "supernova explosion" or "new rapid explosion" could be found.
Record of "Radio Burst Activity".
There was a sign in the sky saying "This road is blocked", so Lu Chen could only throw his efforts towards the ground.
If there are any shortcomings of cosmic phenomena as disturbances, then distance is definitely the most important one. With the addition of long distances, powerful fast radio bursts will gradually be weakened - even if the energy of particles and rays is huge when they are emitted. But as time passes,
As the distance extends, the energy dissipates in all directions, and the energy that can reach the earth is ultimately less than one ten millionth of what it was at the beginning.
But...the crustal activity is different.
It happens under human feet, and the depth is no more than 6371 kilometers.
According to Baozi's investigation, in the two months before the great collapse, the earth's crustal activity was indeed very frequent. In two months, three earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or above occurred in the Pacific Rim seismic zone, and in the Asia-Europe seismic zone.
There were as many as five earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0.
The largest earthquake occurred about 320 kilometers east of Mateaiti Island under the ocean surface. The earthquake intensity was estimated to be 9.1. The tsunami caused by the earthquake swept across Micronesia, Melania and Bolasini.
Sub-region.
Could it be caused by an earthquake? Lu Chen frowned. This reasoning made sense. But he himself didn't agree with it - earthquakes are more common than the stars in the sky. Why would a 9.1-magnitude earthquake deep in the Pacific Ocean cause such an earthquake?
What about triggering a big collapse?
More than 13,000 earthquakes occur on the earth every day, about 130 of which can be felt by humans.
Homo sapiens has been at the top of the food chain for at least 200,000 years, and earthquakes have occurred at least one trillion times. Earthquakes of magnitude 9 or above have been recorded by humans about ten times. Why is this one so special?
As a clinician, Lu Chen subconsciously did not want to accept this "mundane" answer. The lack of uniqueness meant that the probability of this answer being wrong was extremely high - humans learned through "cholera patients all drank water from the same well."
To confirm that cholera is transmitted by water, rather than "cholera patients all wear clothes", so it is arbitrarily believed that cholera is transmitted by contact.
If that earthquake didn't have any unique properties, it probably wasn't the real source of the disturbance.
------------------
The problem of the source of the disturbance troubled Lu Chen for a long time. It was not until he saw Watanabe pushing a motorcycle downstairs of his dormitory that Lu Chen's confusion was slightly relieved.
"Professor Yang asked me to bring you a message." Watanabe parked Lu Chen's motorcycle on the side of the road, then started to light a cigarette and said, "The content is as follows: 'I am not a physics major!'"
After finishing the message, Watanabe threw the motorcycle keys towards Lu Chen, and then said, "This answer was the one that Professor Yang came up with after two days of insomnia."
Lu Chen shook his head with regret, "I thought he would have to think about it for three days."
"It's possible. But other experts in the same group couldn't stand it anymore, so they reminded Professor Yang." Watanabe said while smoking, "In addition, we have already checked the information you asked for internally - General Investigation Bureau
There are no unpublished records of earthquakes or supernova explosions in the database."
Watanabe looked at Lu Chen as if he was mentally retarded, wondering what was wrong with the mind of this medical doctor who was studying quantum mechanics, "That was a natural disaster, a natural phenomenon... Even if our General Investigation Bureau and the coalition government have advanced brains,
We want to hide the occurrence of natural phenomena that have nothing to do with us. It is impossible to achieve the level of 'no one can still remember' - it is impossible for us to manipulate the memory of all mankind!"
"I know, I know." Lu Chen nodded, "I just want to try my luck - what if you really have this ability?"
"Then you will definitely find yourself lying naked in an alley, aching all over but not knowing what happened." Watanabe said very calmly, "If there were such a convenient tool, then our daily work would be much easier.
It saves a lot of trouble."
"I always feel that you are hostile to me." Lu Chen looked at Watanabe and asked, "Although our first meeting was not pleasant, I was at least cooperative, right? Where did your hostility come from?" "The gray suit you tore was a birthday gift from my wife." Watanabe said very calmly, "That was also the last thing she left me - now, this gift is yours.
Torn."
Before Lu Chen expressed his apology for being on duty, Watanabe said first, "The fabric has no repair value. Even if it is repaired with a synthesizer, it cannot accurately simulate the fading degree of the surrounding fabric." He blinked, looked at Lu Chen and said, "This is not true.
Good, at least I have a specific target to be hostile to."
"If it's just hostility, the problem isn't too big." Lu Chen said helplessly, "You wouldn't deliberately embarrass me because of this hostility... right?"
"It's hard to speak politely at most. After all, I'm a professional." Watanabe returned to his muddle-headed, lazy look. "But there's something I need to tell you - your experimental group may have some problems recently.
A little bit of other tasks."
"Is it convenient to disclose it?" Lu Chen asked with a frown, "We still have a lot of experiments to do, and there really is no time to waste."
"You'd better cooperate - the committee wants to see you." Watanabe snorted twice and said, "Professor Yang Jianmin and Academician Tang Qinglong will also go with you."
