In front of the Tianquan telescope, Lu Zhou quickly set this device to manual mode and swiftly looked towards Sirius.
As expected, just like the image showed, under the influence of dark matter,
Sirius appeared to be in a dense black fog.
“So that’s what Sirius A looks like, what about Sirius B?”
Lu Zhou quickly pivoted the telescope and started to search for Sirius B, using previously calculated coordinates.
Sirius is actually a binary star system, consisting of a white dwarf and a blue dwarf star, one big one small.
The Sirius that people often mention is usually Sirius A, because it is large and bright enough to almost overshadow the brightness of Sirius B.
Sure enough, he quickly found Sirius B in Canis Major’s precise location. Just like Sirius A, Sirius B also appeared to be shrouded in a black fog.
“Incredible, this black fog can cover an entire planet!”
“What on earth is that?!”
Suddenly, Lu Zhou spotted a black line between the two stars, whereupon he quickly expanded his telescope to the limit.
“How is this possible?”
In the telescope, not only were Sirius A and Sirius B enveloped by a black fog, but there was also a black line between the two!
He observed that black line, somewhat bewildered, uncertain as to what it might be.
“Dark matter… Sirius… big and small… connection…”
Suddenly, as if he had figured something out, he quickly readjusted the telescope to intrasolar detection mode.
Shortly after, he retracted the telescope’s field of view and began observing the other planets within the solar system.
“Mars…”
He first adjusted the telescope to Mars’s current orbit and started to observe.
No black fog!
He furrowed his eyebrows, Mars was the planet he most likely thought of where life could exist in the solar system…
“The planet in the solar system most likely to harbor life?”
“No, what I should be looking for is a planet that could harbor life forms more than a hundred times larger than humans…”
“Jupiter has more than 300 times the mass of Earth..
“Saturn has around 100 times the mass of Earth…”
“Could dinosaurs, insects have possibly come from these planets?”
Lu Zhou shook his head, if it were ordinary people, they would generally believe that the larger the planet, the larger the size of its land animals. However, the reality is the opposite!
“Under normal circumstances, the smaller the star’s gravity, the larger the creatures on its planet…”
“This is because terrestrial animals need to withstand their own weight and overcome gravity to pump blood to the upper parts of their bodies. The greater the gravity on a planet, the smaller its creatures! So, what I need to look for is a satellite or a planet that is not far from Earth and has a mass smaller than that of Earth by tens to hundreds of times!”
Lu Zhou squinted his eyes, various planetary and lunar data both flashed in his mind, suddenly, he lifted his head, looking towards the moon hanging high in the sky.
“The moon has a diameter one-quarter of that of the Earth, yet its mass is only one-eighty-first of the Earth’s!”
It’s very light, atypically light for a natural celestial body.
Meanwhile, he recalled a lot of information related to the moon.
Its center of mass is always facing the Earth, always showing the same face to the Earth, as if the Earth was tied to it with a string.
On the moon, there are mountains, water, lakes, seas, glaciers, plains, valleys…
Human beings have always been contemplating lunar colonization plans, because the moon has certain conditions that enable human survival, unlike Saturn or Jupiter which are surrounded by hydrogen and helium gas.
As he thought about this, Lu Zhou remembered news from six years ago.
“On October 5, 2014, scientists discovered a gigantic rectangular structure hidden underground on the moon, this structure alone had a width of 2500 kilometers!”
“What if… dinosaurs, insects, these creatures… have been hidden in its interior space…”
Lu Zhou hastily redirected the telescope towards the moon.
Indeed, on the moon’s surface, there was a layer of black fog!
This layer of black fog was the same as what he had seen on Sirius A and Sirius
B.
Shortly after analysing the moon’s exterior, he located a small passageway similar to a pipe within its black fog.
This pipe-like fog was connected to the black fog that surrounded Earth!
“Huh…”
Lu Zhou quickly sat down and took several deep breaths.
Suppressing the emotions welling up inside him, he then slowly closed his eyes.
“Let’s sort this out…”
“Voyager 2, reaches the outer edge of the solar system and comes into contact with a membrane…
“That very day, calculations were made on the changing situation of dark matter, confirming Earth’s enclosure by a force of dark matter… That’s the layer of black fog outside Earth…”
“No matter what the membrane at the edge of the solar system is, it has an activation mechanism, and has activated countless spatial channels on Earth…”
“For all these years, countless meteors and meteorites have been entering and exiting the solar system, but none of them activated this mechanism… Only Voyager 2 managed to…”
“What does Voyager 2 have?”
“Metal?”
“A signal?”
“A product of technology?”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said: “One thing we can be certain of is that natural objects floating in space can’t activate the signal, but a product of technology can… ”
“So, this disaster is not of natural origin, rather it was preemptively planted by a more advanced intelligent life form…”
“And the source of these spatial channels isn’t from the Dark Universe as I originally imagined, but from the moon… However, the entity that deposited these objects leverages dark matter or an energy that Earth’s inhabitants can’t comprehend…”
“What’s the purpose?”
Lu Zhou brainstormed quietly.
“To destroy humanity? For a civilization capable of setting up an activation device at the solar system’s edge, humans are nothing!”
“So… research?” “To observe?” “Evolution?”
“Nurturing?”
He did not continue to guess, thinking about it now would be a waste of time, so he quickly moved on.
“If we could sever the black dark matter channel connecting the Earth to the moon, would the spatial channels disappear?!!”
Lu Zhou had a strong feeling that this could be plausible. If the black fog channel connecting Earth to the moon were to disappear, everything would come to an end!
“Would it work if we destroyed the moon?”
As soon as he spoke, he couldn’t help but chuckle at his own words.
The most powerful weapon humanity has is the nuclear weapon.
The total atomic weapons of the entire humanity, even multiplied by ten thousand times, would only cause a Chicxulub Meteorite-like impact. An impact of this magnitude, for something the size of the moon, which has a diameter equal to one-fourth that of Earth, could only be considered a minor wound.
Bombing the moon with human weaponry? Just dream on.
“What really needs to be researched is the black fog!”
Lu Zhou squinted his eyes, regardless of what this matter is, if an advanced civilization can use it as a transmission channel, perhaps humans, if they work hard enough, might be able to harness it and master this technology!
