I! Pretending to Be Reborn, Director of Doomsday Hoax

— [-] meters.

300 m.

At this depth, it is already the limit of human constant weight diving.

However, the depth of the dive this time is the bottom of this sea area.

They want to find evidence of supernova explosions from the deep sea.

During the two long hours, the depth of the submarine continued to drop, and it gradually became dark outside the window. It didn't look like it was on the bottom of the sea, but it looked like an eternal night.

Yang Shaowei, Zhao Xu and others were all surprised by this scene.

They are astronomers who have been studying the stars in the universe, and they have never seen the appearance of the deep sea.

But when the submarine entered the dark deep sea, at a certain moment, when they saw unknown luminescent creatures floating in the deep sea, they actually had a feeling of floating in the Milky Way...

The staff turned on the searchlight, and a small area ahead was illuminated, and deep-sea fish kept fleeing away, with a large number of air bubbles rolled up in their tails.

"What's down there?"

The detection personnel looked at the picture on the monitor and said in surprise.

Yang Shaowei quickly looked over, and instantly, his mood became agitated.

The bottom of this sea area has been reached below. There are seamounts rising from the seabed, and the exposed rocks of the mountains are covered with layers of black matter.

Yang Shaowei shouted: "According to Director Xu, Fe-60 may be in this black substance. If it is confirmed that it is a mineral or contains metal elements, it can be collected and surveyed! Turn on the shallow seabed profiler!"

This is an instrument specially used for geological exploration of the seabed.

The working principle of the submarine shallow profiler is the same as that of the echo sounder.

With the help of the relationship between the beam echo intensity and the bottom quality of the seabed, according to the bottom surface image obtained by the side-scan sonar system, the judgment of the surface layer and deep bottom quality of the seabed sediment can be realized.

After more than ten minutes, the sound of surprise from the detection personnel rang out, saying: "Professor Yang, the black substance below is indeed a mineral..."

"Down the radiation detector!" Yang Shaowei hardly hesitated for a moment.

His body was shaking.

He and his team have been searching around the world for nearly three years for evidence of supernova explosions leaving behind blue stars.

In fact, as early as the 70s, some astronomers speculated that

Radiation from a nearby supernova could damage the blue star's ozone layer, exposing plants and animals to harmful ultraviolet light and further leading to mass extinctions.

Moreover, many astronomers supported the "supernova explosion" theory for the five mass extinction events at that time, but there was no evidence in the end.

In addition, the theoretical knowledge involved in supernova explosions is too complicated for ordinary people to accept and understand. Therefore, the simpler and more logical "continental drift" theory has become the mainstream.Zhao Xu was completely stunned at the moment, shocked by the sight of the submarine mountains.

He remembered a theory in the astronomy world, and said quietly at this moment: "According to some extreme astronomers, there may be a supernova that is close enough to the blue star, and it will be close to the blue star about every billion years. The star's ozone layer had a huge impact..."

"So, is this little ice age related to the supernova mentioned in this theory?"

"Or is it related to the extinction of the sun after eleven months?"

There was silence in the submarine, and no one answered this question.

All eyes are closely following the radiation detector. If this thing sounds, it means that this black mineral may really exist iron 60!

At this time, an expert in underwater archeology couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "Professor Yang, there is nothing unique on the blue star. Even if iron 60 is found, how can you be sure that it came from a supernova explosion?"

Yang Shaowei's eyes were fiery, and he said without turning his head: "There is no iron 60 in nature. This is an iron isotope with 4 more neutrons than the conventional isotope. If it appears on a blue star, it can only be a supernova explosion or come from the universe. and the interstellar dust from the birth of the solar system...”

"However, the half-life of iron-60 is only 260 million years. Although it is almost equivalent to eternity for human beings, it is only a moment before the life of the solar system and the universe."

"If it came from the beginning of the universe and the birth of the solar system, then these iron-60 would have decayed long ago and become undetectable at all. It can only be found by our radiation detectors, which can only come from supernovae in the past few million years or tens of millions of years break out!"

But at this moment, a sharp reminder sounded suddenly.

Didi! !

Yang Shaowei's heart contracted violently, his eyes were full of excitement, and he shouted: "It's done! There is really iron 60!"

"It really worked!"

"The radiation detector isn't broken! It really detects iron-60!"

Zhao Xu jumped up and down excitedly. For a while, he thought the radiation detector was damaged, and it never made any noise.

Now, it is sounding an urgent alarm in the mountains of the deep sea, and this voice will herald that paleontology, blue star geology and astronomy will turn a subversive page!

Sakura Country.

The commander stared at the deep dive record in shock, with a dull expression.

Saito said with longing in his expression, "These seabed minerals are actually crusts of fierce iron."

"Its formation process is a bit like a stalagmite, which precipitates out of a liquid and accumulates layer by layer, but the ferroic crust is composed of metal and forms a wider shell, not like a stalagmite. Individual pointed cones."

Saito just let out a deep sigh, and said in a far voice: "Who would have thought that the evidence of a supernova explosion actually came from the deepest seabed?"

The commander has not yet recovered from the shock. The document in his hands at this moment is proof that a new era will be opened and many old theories will be overthrown.

He continued to scroll down.

An expert in the field of supernova research in Longguo, under the guidance of Xu Qiu, turned his attention to the deep sea and found the black minerals on the seabed mountains.

The birth of this black mineral is very strange.

When iron, manganese, and other metal ions are washed from land into seawater, or spewed out of submarine volcanoes,

They react with the oxygen in the seawater to form a solid mass that settles to the seafloor or floats around until it attaches to an existing crust.

The exact process of the initial formation of the ferro-ferroic crust in the rocky zone of the seabed is still a mystery. Once the first layer is accumulated, more rock layers will continue to accumulate. The thickest rock layer excavated by Yang Shaowei's team reached [-] centimeters.

This crust not only records changes in the chemical composition of seawater, but also includes some elements that can indicate dying stars.

After three hours of research, survey, and collection, the oldest iron crust salvaged by Yang Shaowei's team can even be traced back to more than 7000 million years ago.

At that time, dinosaurs were still roaming the Blue Planet, and the Tianzhu subcontinent was just an island between Antarctica and Asia.

The commander's pupils were shaking. He confirmed that he was not mistaken, then cast a look at Saito Gang, and asked, "More than 7000 million years? Is this true?"

Saito nodded heavily, and said: "The growth of iron crusts is one of the slowest processes known to science, only increasing by about 5 millimeters per million years. In comparison, human nails grow about 700 mm faster. [-] million times

"The reason is that there are less than 1 iron or manganese atom for every billion water molecules in the ocean, and they must resist the pull of passing ocean currents and other chemical interactions to become anchored in a new crust n

O

"Therefore, in a sense, the thicker the ferrite crust, the longer the growth cycle, and the older its lifespan."

The commander had too many doubts, he asked; "Is there an inseparable relationship between the ferocious iron crust and the supernova?"

Saito just nodded and explained: "In contrast to the slow-growing fierce iron crust, supernova explosions happen instantaneously."

"In the most common type of supernova, the star runs out of hydrogen and nitrogen fuel, after which its core begins to burn heavier elements until eventually iron is produced. This process may take millions of years, but the star's final moments require only Milliseconds."

"As heavy elements accumulate in the stellar core, the core becomes unstable and implodes, sucking outer material into the core at a quarter of the speed of light."

"But the density of particles in the core quickly stopped the implosion, setting off a massive explosion that sent a cloud of stellar debris into space, including the Fe-60 isotope, some of which ended up in the ferroic crust.

The leader felt a headache when he heard it.

He has no experience in this area of ​​knowledge, and the only knowledge he has is hearing about some new discoveries by the following physicists and astronomers.

"I just want to know one thing, can the iron 60 in this fierce iron crust really overthrow the 'land drift' theory of the Ordovician mass extinction?"

Saito just touched his chin and said: "Once the theory of supernova explosion and extinction is put forward, some scholars will definitely raise objections. However, under the iron evidence of Iron 60, their logically self-consistent statements that only rely on speculation and conjecture , theory, the stick is untenable."

"And, Your Excellency Commander, I don't know if you have noticed something."

"Dragon Kingdom, never do meaningless things. At such an important time, before the end of the Little Ice Age and the extinction of the sun, they are still searching for evidence of supernova explosions everywhere..."

"Does this mean that the Little Ice Age, or even the extinction of the sun, was associated with supernova explosions!"

After hearing this sentence, the leader slapped his thigh and exclaimed:

"The Ordovician mass extinction was also a big drop in temperature, and the Little Ice Age was also a big drop in temperature. Maybe they are really looking for the reason for the eruption of the Little Ice Age!"

Saito just stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the blue sky.

He sighed, and said: "The Dragon Kingdom not only wants to open up an underground era, I am afraid that the discovery of Iron 60 will cause a great disturbance in the astronomy and physics circles."

At a time when the whole world is anxious and preparing for the Little Ice Age and the extinction of the sun.

In the world of physics, a sensational event is taking place.

[International Astronautics News]: "Longguo scientists have discovered significant evidence that supernova explosions have affected blue stars, and the cause of the mass extinction may be rewritten!"

[Star News]: "The rare metal iron 60 has been discovered, and the evidence is solid! Scientists have confirmed that there has been a supernova explosion near the solar system!!"

[Berry Country Science Magazine]: "A ferocious iron crust appeared in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, physics, paleontology, and astronomy will usher in an earthquake!"

Seeing that the major scientific newspapers and periodicals published articles in the first time, astronomy enthusiasts and physics enthusiasts around the world are all excited.

A netizen in Yingguo exclaimed: "It turned out to be evidence of a supernova explosion! My God, does this mean that the disaster prophecy of Longguo is correct!"

A netizen in Sakura Country expressed fear: "If a supernova did explode close to the solar system, we should be thankful that the blue star survived..."

Netizen Helan gloated: "Guys, I suddenly feel that the extinguishing of the sun is not so scary. After all, if there is another supernova explosion, the blue star will be wiped out in an instant. We can't even feel the pain. It's even more insensitive than euthanasia!"

The netizen of Berry Country kept awake and said: "I heard a theory that there is a supernova at a distance just enough to affect the blue star. Every billion years, it will have a big impact on the blue star. This will It caused a huge disaster in the entire Blue Star, such as... the global temperature dropped by [-] to [-] degrees!"

A netizen from Sakura Country said: "I have also seen this theory, and I thought it was ridiculous at the time, but now, when the Little Ice Age and the sun extinguished, I began to re-examine this theory, maybe we misunderstood the theory proposer at that time, he ...is a great prophet!"

A netizen from Berry Country said: "Great prophet. If the Little Ice Age two months later was affected by this supernova, then the extinction of the sun in eleven months is entirely possible due to a closer supernova explosion. Or the obscuration of dusty galaxies...°

"Dragon Kingdom has discovered direct evidence of supernova explosions at this time, whether in the future, it will reveal why they can predict so many disasters!"

now.

The godfather of physics in Berry Country, who has won the Nobel Prize in Physics twice, and now the only physics master standing at the top of the academic field, Professor Ain, was shocked when he saw the research results just announced by Long Country.The nearly 90-year-old scholar, who proposed the founder of the Berry Country Fortress and the Wind and Snow Wall, said slowly from the stage:

"There was an explosion in such a distant place, and a small amount of debris traveled across the galaxy to the blue star, but it ended up being deposited in the deep ocean, which is incredible."

The deep sea and the universe are almost two extremes.

One is diving from the sea level to the bottom of the sea, and the other is flying from the horizon to space.
