Thanks to the high-speed and accurate positioning system of gamma-ray bursts, different regional phase observation instruments were arranged, and one second after the second eruption of Haishan, their observation direction was aimed there to observe and collect data. This observation of Haishan’s second eruption will be the best observation condition for human history, and the observation scientists hope that the data received during this observation process can solve some problems that have plagued mankind for a long time, such as the supernova explosion model or the evolution of giant stars.

The observation of the wreckage of Haishan II has been going on for more than a month, but it has not stopped until now. The visible light radiation of Haishan II wreckage has been much lower than that of the naked eye, which means that for an ordinary person, Haishan II has completely disappeared and people will never see it again, but for astronomers, it is different. With the help of scientific instruments, people can still observe quite strong visible light and gamma ray radiation from that place, and it still has high observation value.
The observation has been going on for more than a month, and Zhao Lan has been working continuously in the observation base for more than a month. Every new data is born or every new idea and phenomenon appears, which will make Zhao Lan excited for a long time. Zhao Lan has finished and completely devoted himself to the work. If it is not for the Mars port workers to actively contact Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan has almost forgotten the bizarre disappearance of her car Silvia spacecraft.
"Ms. Zhao Lan, I’m sorry it took so long to contact you, because during this time we have been investigating the bizarre disappearance of your Silvia spacecraft, and this investigation is much more difficult than we thought. Until now, we have reached a preliminary conclusion, and we have not contacted you until now."
Zhao Lan’s communication equipment showed the recorded video communication information before it was sent from Mars Port. It was a slightly bald middle-aged man. Zhao Lan remembered that this middle-aged man named Ming Xu was the first manager of Mars Port.
Judging from Ming Xu’s personal explanation to himself, Mars Port still attaches great importance to its own affairs, which makes Zhao Lan feel the sincerity of Mars Port.
"We found your ship’s entry record in the unified records, but we couldn’t find the ship’s departure record. This means that your ship is still in the port, but obviously your ship has disappeared. There must be a mistake in the system. We spent a lot of time on the manual investigation of the system. Finally, 15 days before your departure, you found a video recording. The video recording equipment clearly captured the departure process of your ship, but I don’t know why the system directly ignored the departure event and didn’t record it in the database. We also found your ship maintenance record and fuel and raw materials filling record through manual investigation, but equally.
"It was also through manual investigation that we found the recorded fragments … as you can see, the man didn’t attract the attention of the equipment, so he came to your spaceship berth and took your spaceship … We determined that it must be the man who invaded the port system, tampered with the evaluation and alarm system of the system and then … stole your spaceship."
"It was your spaceship that was stolen," Ming Xu said with a wry smile. "It’s hard to believe, but this is the truth. Of course, we won’t shirk our responsibility. We will certainly compensate you for your loss according to the procedural requirements … We want to ask you if you know this man?"
Then Zhao Lan saw an ordinary young man’s face. This face is not handsome or ugly. It is a very ordinary public face. When I grabbed a handful of Zhao Lan and looked at it, I shook my head. Zhao Lan could confirm whether I knew this person or not. I was not impressed by this person in my mind.
After a period of communication delay, Xu Ming’s second message continued to be sent. "We contacted the Abe military and the police. Everyone confirmed the identity of this man. He is a person who has no record in our information system, but he can unconsciously bypass the strict equipment monitoring and has superb skills. He has several different faces. No one has ever known his true appearance and never kept a record in the citizenship system. Of course, we didn’t say that we have confirmed the theft. The person who left your spaceship was Liu Yunfanfan. We are so suspicious because we really can’t think of any thief who has such superb ability except Liu Yunfanfan. "
Li Yunfan is the most colorful thief in human literature. Except for this name, outsiders don’t know Li Yunfan’s exact information, his true appearance, his age, his real identity and even his gender. Li Yunfan has made more than a dozen major crimes that shocked the whole human literature theft since the first case ten years ago.
These cases include the latest set of monetary templates in the central bank of the human culture government, the tie worn by the human culture head of state when preparing to attend the event celebration the next day, and the 30 tons of precious minerals in the central treasury of the head of state’s wife … Every time Li Yunfan made a case, it was more incredible than if Li Yunfan had not announced responsibility for these things every time and published the process information of the case. The human culture security forces would have no way to find out who did these things.
This time, the case and the case committed against Li Yunfan have many similarities. The history of the theft of a spaceship in the port has never happened. People can’t figure out what Li Yunfan did by stealing a spaceship. The theft method is so superb that Ming Xu will suspect that Li Yunfan is the thief.
Li Yunfan and Zhao Langen are two people living in different worlds. Zhao Lanke is sure that his life and Li Yunfan have never crossed paths … Li Yunfan actually stared at himself and stole his spaceship from Mars Harbor? This makes Zhao Lan feel very unbelievable. Zhao Lan can’t think of a reason why Li Yunfan should stare at her own ship. You know, the Silvia spacecraft is just a high-end civilian spacecraft. Li Yunfan’s ability is just high-end. If you want to steal the spacecraft, why not steal it with more powerful performance? What’s worse? Why did Li Yunfan steal a spaceship? Since it is a spaceship, it is necessary to refuel in the supply port. After the Silvia spacecraft is stolen, human beings will inevitably put a tight note on it, so that the Silvia spacecraft will be controlled as soon as it appears in the supply port. In the face of this, tight encirclement can’t run away even if it wants to. Can it never enter the port?
"This is ridiculous," Zhao Lan said in a low voice. "Li Yunfan … what did he do to steal my spaceship?"
"We don’t know," Ming Xu continued with a wry smile. "UNA has taken over the incident. At present, it is analyzing the tail flame trace of Silvia spacecraft, trying to restore its flight trajectory, and then tracking it to its further investigation results through the positioning system. Wait for UNA to inform us … In order to compensate your loss, we have ordered a new performance Bisir Weiya spacecraft from the shipyard, which will be built after about half a year and then delivered to you, so that shipyard engineers will meet with you in a few days. You contacted to confirm that the information such as the decoration, shape, power and layout of the spacecraft is not correct. Before the new spacecraft is delivered to you, everything that happens to you due to traffic will be borne by us. Ms. Zhao Lan, on behalf of Mars Port, I sincerely apologize to you again and hope that you can accept our compensation plan. "
Zhao Lan thought for a while and finally agreed to this compensation plan, so after signing the line contract with Ming Xu, Zhao Lan hung up the communication and continued to enter the work.
Zhao Lan is no longer a spiritual worker in France and China. Zhao Lan’s mind is always haunted by a question: Li Yunfan, the thief, will not go for a long time … Why do you want to steal your own spaceship?
From which aspect to think about Zhao Landufa, find a reasonable explanation. If Li Yunfan notes himself rather than his spaceship … then what’s his good note? Zhao Lan believes that she is not beautiful. Although she can be regarded as a scientist, the eyes of ordinary people are high, but in the eyes of people like Li Yunfan, Zhao Lan does not recognize her identity. What is the attraction if she says wealth … Zhao Huasheng did not leave any legacy for her descendants. Zhao Huasheng and Li Wei both donated all their property to their descendants in ancient times, except an honorary title.
Now Zhao Lan is just an ordinary scientist. Zhao Huasheng still has a high reputation in human literature, but it has nothing to do with Zhao Lan. Even Zhao Lan himself does not take this matter too seriously.
I can’t figure out these things. Zhao Lan didn’t continue to think that chasing Li Yunfan and other things should be done by the government and that there is nothing for himself or just do his own job.
The observation of Haishan-2 is still in progress, but now the data collection has entered the middle stage. The next task is to analyze the images and data received in the early stage and reveal the mystery of the universe that covers up these data. This is a very huge and long project, and it may take more than ten years to analyze these data. To put it another way, tens of thousands of astronomers will contribute a quarter less of their careers.
From birth to growth, a scientist needs less education for 20 years before he can succeed in his own work, and then tens of thousands of such scientists will spend a quarter of their careers doing this thing to analyze the mystery hidden in the seamount II explosion, which is not even a drop in the ocean compared with the whole scientific world. The contrast between the profound mystery of the universe and the small personal strength is desperate, but human science and technology and understanding of the universe are constantly improving.
This is a road to progress paved by the painstaking efforts and sweat of several scientists, among whom Zhao Lan is an ordinary member.
It was so calm and slightly boring that I quietly passed in the rhythm. In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and the afternoon ended. Zhao Lan couldn’t help but input that string of familiar parameters into the telescope console and adjusted the telescope direction to that familiar angle.
So a faint light once again entered Zhao Lan’s eyes.
Zhao Lan knows that it is a quasar far away from the earth, at least 10 billion light years away. Zhao Lan’s work includes adjusting the telescope to observe this quasar at the moment, which can’t be said to be selfish, but only Zhao Lan knows his selfishness.
Zhao Lan doesn’t want to study or analyze this quasar, because Zhao Lan doesn’t want to turn this beautiful and distant star into a series of numbers describing its physical state. Zhao Lan thinks that it is very unattractive. When observing this star, Zhao Lan often looks at it here.
This quasar has a very special meaning for Zhao Lan. Although a quasar more than 10 billion light years away from the earth has a special meaning for a human being, it sounds very strange, but human beings are so good at associating and entrusting races.
Zhao Lan has watched this quasar hundreds of times, but today it seems that the situation is a little different. Just as Zhao Lan stared at something, the luminosity of the quasar suddenly and slowly decreased. This decrease was clearly and intuitively presented to Zhao Lan through digital changes, so after about ten minutes, the quasar disappeared from the lens of Zhao Lan’s line of sight telescope and could not be seen again.
Zhao Lan blinked in disbelief and then looked at the display screen again, but the display screen was still dark, which means that there is no light source that the telescope is aiming at in this direction.
But … What about a quasar? What did it disappear?
Chapter one hundred and twenty-nine Common ground
Zhao Lan is the discoverer of this quasar. Zhao Lan still remembers the first time he entered his father’s research institute at that time. Perhaps it was because his father thought he was too naughty to affect his work, so his father gave himself a technically processed photo and told himself that if he could find 50 hidden spots from this side, his father would take himself to the playground on weekends.
But Zhao Lan searched and found forty-nine of them, and there was a light spot left. For example, I couldn’t find a young Zhao Lan, so I could let my busy father take himself to the playground when he took it out, so I refused to sit down and look for the photo all afternoon, line by line, pixel by pixel, and finally Zhao Lan found a light spot slightly brighter than the surrounding pixels.
That’s a very small difference. If Zhao Lanjing hadn’t been looking for it, Zhao Lan wouldn’t have found this point. Zhao Lan was so excited that he told his father about this discovery. Perhaps he couldn’t bear to discourage himself. His father still moved his work to aim the telescope at the bright spot shown in the photo, so … he really discovered a distant and ancient quasar.
This quasar is too far away. Although it is extremely powerful, the light it emits can only enhance the brightness of only one pixel when it reaches the earth after a long journey of 10 billion light years. This difference is so small that the programs ignore it in the past and just regard it as light pollution or gravitational lens products. It has not been analyzed in detail, but it has not missed Zhao Lan’s search. It was Zhao Lan’s afternoon job that added another number to the list of human satellites.
When his father took Zhao Lan to the playground for a whole day, Zhao Lan’s door to the astronomical world was also hit. It was because of this that Zhao Lan took the same road as his father and became an astronomer.
At this moment, it has been more than 20 years since this incident. My father, who was strong and energetic in the past, has long since passed away due to illness, but this incident has been buried in Zhao Lan’s memory. This quasar means a lot to Zhao Lan. It means not only his dreams when he was young, but also his loving and generous eyes.
But now it’s gone without warning, just like when my father left him.
After Zhao Lan left his office and reported this to the person in charge of the observation base, Zhao Lan got a higher limit to adjust the sky survey telescope to make her share higher. In addition to optical band observation, Zhao Lan also got a telescope limit for gamma rays, soft rays, hard rays, infrared bands and other radiation.
Zhao Lan can be sure that there is absolutely no error in the position and direction parameters he entered into the telescope console. However, no matter what type of observation, all the observations are white and dark. All the observation results are clear and tell Zhao Lan that there is no object that can be detected by human language in that direction.
But … Zhao Lan went to the observation record and clearly recorded that there was a quasar in that direction and that position, even more than Zhao Lan was staring at it just two hours ago.
The vastness and profundity of the universe made Zhao Lan feel a little strong. When Zhao Lan’s attempts to find it failed, Zhao Lan wanted to go to that place and see what happened there in person. But Zhao Lan clearly knew that the word 10 billion light years meant more than distance. It also meant that the distance of 10 billion light years meant that the light was transmitted from there to the earth. Even if she could reach that position, she did not have the ability to return to 10 billion years ago …
What that hell happen in the universe?
Obviously, it is impossible for a powerful quasar to disappear. Quasar consists of a supermassive black hole in the center and an accretion disk bound by its strong gravity. Quasar is only a few light days in diameter, but its radiation power is much stronger than that of a galaxy with a diameter of 100,000 light years. Its radiation power comes from the collision and friction between accretion disks, whether it is visible light band radiation or other band radiation.
Then a quasar will, of course, "die". When it finally devours the matter around its accretion disk, the central black hole will be quiet and no longer release those radiation. People will naturally observe it … It takes only ten minutes for this quasar to disappear from normal luminosity … How can it complete the long journey from robust to death?
This is absolutely impossible, but for what reason did it disappear?
Zhao Lan finally gave up looking for it. Zhao Lan left the operating room, wrote an observation log in his office, recorded what he saw and heard today, and then went back to prepare for a rest.
"Maybe a dust cloud happened to pass by and blocked the radiation of this quasar." Zhao Lan thought this way to comfort herself. "It will take a few days at most for the dust cloud to float away and the quasar will reappear."
It is not uncommon for stars to disappear due to dust clouds in the universe. There is a most obvious example. Until now, human beings have been unable to see the core scene of the Milky Way from the visible light band because of dust clouds. However, if this quasar disappears due to dust clouds, its situation is different from that of the core of the Milky Way. Obviously, the former dust cloud did not block the quasar, but now it is blocked, so it must move. If it moves, it will continue to move until it leaves the blocking path.
However, there are some loopholes in this explanation, because dust clouds are unlikely to block all bands of radiation, and now Zhao Lan talks about how to see this quasar from any telescope
"Continue to wait for a while," Zhao Lan thought.
Then Zhao Lan waited for more than a month. During this month, Zhao Lan took time out to observe this quasar every day, but Zhao Lan finally got something to do. Zhao Lanyou wrote a work report and handed it over to the Central Academy of Sciences, hoping to find a reasonable explanation for this matter with the help of the strength of the Central Academy of Sciences.
