The meeting resumed after a short adjournment, and military officials from various countries were still discussing the weapons used by the irregular body. Obviously, they were more enthusiastic about the weapons than they were about the soldiers who died in this brief contact.
Only Li Jianfeng and Snate were looking at the small amount of information, trying to find subtle clues, even the smallest clues.
What worries Li Jianfeng the most now is the two nuclear-powered submarines. In his subconscious, he hopes that the two nuclear submarines will disappear without leaving a trace like the "Nanchuan".
Because the total number of nuclear weapons equipped on the two boats has reached a terrifying 64, most of which are intercontinental strategic missiles, and some even have multiple warheads. Once a nuclear leak occurs, it will be catastrophic to the global ecological environment.
This does not include the two pressurized water reactors equipped by the two nuclear submarines. Obviously, they are far more fragile than the 64 nuclear weapons.
Thinking of this, Li Jianfeng felt as if a big mountain was pressing on him, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.
He put down the materials, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at the participants.
"Regarding this contact incident with the mysterious irregular object, do you have any questions?" Li Jianfeng's words were obviously addressed to the military representatives from various countries.
The military representatives shook their heads.
"Now let me give the floor to Li Mosen, professor of space physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Li Mosen stood up, and a picture of the moon appeared on the projection, with the huge craters on the moon's surface clearly visible.
The details of the silver moon surface and the dark part of the lunar maria are extremely clear, as if they are within reach. In the lower left corner of the moon is the blue earth.
However, in this picture with the moon as the main subject, the earth appears very small and hangs alone below.
As soon as the picture of the moon appeared on the projection, military representatives from various countries let out a brief sigh, obviously expressing their dissatisfaction and resentment that this all-too-familiar celestial body appeared here.
"Is this a screensaver?" Jacques Francois asked sharply.
"What do you think?!" Li Mosen retorted.
Another round of boos...
"In a sense, the moon is a barrier and protection system for life on earth. If there was no moon, you can imagine what would happen?" Li Mosen spread his hands and motioned for the military representatives to speak.
"Are we having an exam or a meeting?" Heydrich seemed even more dissatisfied.
"Of course it's a meeting!"
"Does this have anything to do with that alien irregularity?" Miyazawa and his party asked as politely as possible, but his expression was not very friendly.
"It is not yet certain what the relationship between the two is, but what is certain is that the two are not a single isolated incident. Maybe there is some connection, maybe..."
"Maybe not?" Charlie Wellington added.
"Yes."
Except for Li Jianfeng and Snett, almost all the military representatives stood up and made a gesture of leaving.
"This is not the quality of a gentleman, especially in such an unknown crisis." Li Mosen said with a cold expression and firm eyes, "Military representatives, please answer my question just now?"
"Let's all go, get as far away as possible!"
A voice roared, and everyone looked around and saw black hole expert Sir Ekes Burton like an angry lion, his eyes widening as he searched for his prey with ferocious gazes...
He was waiting for his prey's rebuttal.
Strangely, no one made a sound, because they had long heard of this man commonly known as a scientific madman, and any rebuttal would end with him having a heart attack.
Burton grabbed a bottle of mineral water and drank it in one breath, as if to accumulate saliva for the roar below.
"Bang!" Burton slammed the bottle on the table and roared: "You spent two hours talking endlessly about irregular objects, sinking, and disappearance... We poor scientists have always been you. Loyal listeners, we even breathe in accordance with your rhythm. I am a person who loves to fart, and I even save the effort of farting in order to listen to your long speech."
Burton opened another bottle of water, took a big mouthful of water, and threw the bottle forward with a "whoosh" sound. The bottle passed over the heads of the military representatives one by one, and flew accurately into the garbage basket. The military representatives Astonished.
Burton's eyes were blazing with fire, his gaze was sharp and majestic: "Professor Li Mosen played a picture of the moon in 1 second, maybe less than a second, because that is the speed of light. You are extremely impatient, and now the world is facing destruction. !destroy!"
As he read "Destruction", Burton's volume reached an extreme height, and he began to twitch a little. His hand touched his left chest, his eyes rolled up, and his mouth opened wide, as if he was stuck in a breath of air. .
When Liu Hanyang saw this, he was so frightened that he quickly rubbed his chest. Fortunately, Burton's assistant, Ms. Rice, was quick to react. She quickly took out a pill from her pocket and stuffed it into Burton's mouth, and then, she violently rubbed his behind. A pat on the back.
After a while, Burton's long breathing was finally heard. This time, these military representatives were really frightened. They may have heard it before, but today they witnessed it.
Liu Hanyang was shocked by Rice's actions. This was the first time he had seen a heart patient treated in such a rough way! But Les didn't take it seriously. She shook the medicine bottle in her hand and raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the medicine was a common medicine and her movements were unique and habitual.
"For the sake of Dr. Burton's health, I think... I think everyone should sit down," Charlie Wellington said.
"I don't need your pity!" Burton roared again, "You can get out now, get away."
The military representatives stood blankly, a little at a loss.
"Sir Burton, Lieutenant General Li Jianfeng and I are always ready to listen to your analysis below." Snart said while motioning for the representatives to sit down.
"Please also respect the order of the venue." Li Jianfeng said.
Burton did not speak any more, but his face was extremely ugly. He folded his hands on his chest and his eyes were still scanning the military representatives opposite.
They were all trying their best to avoid his eyes, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Mosen, for fear of being locked by Burton's sharp eyes.
Li Mosen nodded to everyone, indicating that he could start?
The representatives smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Since no one wants to answer my question directly, there is no need for me to prepare you mentally. I will get straight to the point." Li Mosen pointed to the moon on the projection. "According to the data observed by my country's Sky Dome Radio Telescope, the moon It is moving away from the Earth at a speed of 2.0357 meters per second, which is much higher than the distance speed of 3.8 centimeters per year. It will not be long before this celestial body will no longer appear in our sky."
"It used to be years! Now it's seconds!" Burton raised his hands with an excited expression, "There are also units! It used to be centimeters, but now it's meters!"
The military representatives looked at each other in astonishment, their eyes full of doubt and extreme shock.
"At first, we thought it was a false alarm caused by atmospheric circulation or slight distortions in space, like the irregularity that appeared, but this data was quickly verified by the Sierra Observatory in South America."
Li Mosen looked at the person in charge of Xila Observatory.
"Yes." said the person in charge of Xila Observatory, "We collected observation data for 7 consecutive days, and the results obtained are exactly the same as the sky dome observation data, both are 2.0357 meters\seconds. This data has also been obtained Data verification by the Aeronautics and Space Administration of China.”
The person in charge of the Sila Observatory sat down, and a picture of the moon landing in the last century appeared on the projection.
Li Mosen pointed to the screen and said slowly: "When the Apollo landed on the moon, the astronauts placed a rangefinder on the surface of the moon. To be precise, it is a mirror composed of countless small three-sided reflecting surfaces."
"After that, scientists fired lasers at the mirror from the earth and measured the distance between the earth and the moon through the round-trip time of the laser. The results showed that the moon's speed away from the earth was about 3.8 centimeters per year. But this time, the calculated result was 2.04 meters \ seconds, which is almost astonishingly consistent with the data measured by the Sky Dome and the Sierra Observatory."
"Please note that it is 2.0357 meters per second, and the unit is seconds, not years. Moreover, this phenomenon occurs suddenly without any warning."
The military representatives made a sound of astonishment, which can be said to be unbelievable, because they knew very well what this would mean? I'm afraid it's not just as simple as the earth losing this satellite permanently.
"How long will it be before we lose the moon forever?" Andlov asked.
"Five years!" Li Mosen waited around for a week, and then continued, "This is just a conservative estimate, it may be faster."
The venue fell completely silent, so quiet that even the breathing of the participants could be clearly heard. The military representatives stared intently at the celestial body on the projection that they were no longer familiar with, as if they wanted to keep it with their frozen eyes. of.
This is a celestial body that has been with the earth for billions of years. It has witnessed the birth of life on earth and the rapid development of human civilization.
It seems to have formed a symbiotic ecosystem with the earth. It hangs above people's heads almost every day, but in the next five years, everything will eventually end.
"Where will the earth go after it loses the moon?" Francois still waved his arms, this time in a far away gesture.
"I would like to ask Dr. Liu Hanyang to answer this. He is a quantum and astrophysicist and an expert in this field." Li Mosen gestured to Liu Hanyang.
Liu Hanyang stood up: "Within 5 years, the moon will either be captured by Venus and become its satellite! Or it will break through the Roche limit with Venus and be torn into pieces! However, what we should be more worried about is our earth."
The military representatives looked at Liu Hanyang in surprise. He paused and continued: "The complete collapse of the earth-moon system will be catastrophic for the earth.
The military representatives looked solemn and almost listened with their ears pricked up.
"First of all, the tides between the moon and the earth will no longer exist, and the ocean ecosystem will be destroyed. With the disappearance of the tides, the ocean currents will become disordered, and the nutrients in the ocean will not be effectively transferred. The ecological cycle system will be completely destroyed."
"In five years, 90% of marine life will be permanently extinct. Secondly, the tilt of the earth's rotation axis will be out of control, and its autobiography will accelerate. One day will not last 24 hours now, but 5 to 6 hours."
"This will lead to the extinction of a large number of species! What is even more terrifying is that a global tsunami will sweep across every coast of the earth, and then the earth will enter a long ice age."
“How long does the disaster last?”
"Indefinitely!"
"Is there a way to stop this?"
"No!"
"Can we still be saved?"
"..."
