Chapter 8 Solar Environment Simulator

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Huasheng came to the Institute of Stellar Physics, which he was extremely familiar with. Zhao Huasheng spent three years here. There are many people and things that Zhao Huasheng is familiar with, but at this moment, all of this seems a bit strange.

Almost all of my colleagues are here. As the main body of studying stellar physics, everyone in this institute bears heavy responsibilities. Obviously, they have been working from yesterday to today.

The atmosphere in the institute was a bit heavy and depressing. Zhao Huasheng greeted a few people and took Meng Zhuo to another building.

The building looks very tall, but its interior is hollow. There is a huge machine installed inside, and Zhao Huasheng has also used it himself.

It was a set of equipment that Director Li Qi applied for construction about two years ago. Its main function was to simulate the physical operation mechanism inside the sun. Since it was built, many research topics have been made breakthroughs.

But one of the instruments in this set of equipment is very special. No one has used it except Li Qi, nor has he obtained any data from it. At the beginning, the institute once rumored that Li Qi was working on a big topic and for the sake of confidentiality, it was prohibited from contacting others here. I don’t know if this is true.

But now Zhao Huasheng plans to verify this problem. Zhao Huasheng wants to know what exactly happened that Li Qi has been busy for the past period of time. Perhaps this matter has something to do with the obscure code left by Zhao Huasheng.

There are still many people coming in and out here, and everyone seems extremely busy. Zhao Huasheng knew that a lot of data was being generated at this moment, and then he was entangled in the minds of these researchers and analyzed that they were trying their best to find clues from these data.

If Li Qi's relics were not available, Zhao Huasheng might be busy here at this moment, trying to explore what happened on the sun.

With a little emotion in his heart, Zhao Huasheng came to Li Qi's office. As Zhao Huasheng expected, several members of the United Security Ministry stopped Zhao Huasheng and told Zhao Huasheng that it had been blocked and that it was not allowed to enter for the time being.

Meng Zhuo took out an item that seemed to be a certificate and gave it to those people for a look. The people looked at each other and retreated silently.

When Zhao Huasheng walked into this office, he found that it was better to say that it was an operating room than an office. There was a computer in the middle of this room, and a huge screen was installed on the wall above the computer. The picture in the screen was a larger hall, with many instruments installed around the hall, and many cables were traversing in the hall. In the middle of the hall was a machine that Zhao Huasheng could not name.

In the middle of the machine was a thick pillar, and a circular machine like a tire was installed on the pillar. This pillar just passed through the middle of the tire-shaped circular machine.

Some researchers who Zhao Huasheng didn't know were busy here and in the hall on the screen. After those people were busy for a while and reported something to the place, everyone evacuated the hall. Then some strange air fluctuations appeared in the hall, which could even be seen with the naked eye. Zhao Huasheng knew that it was the exhauster working, and the fluctuations were caused by the disturbance of the rapid flow of air to the light.

"What did they do to vacuum this hall?" Zhao Huasheng felt a little confused. But Zhao Huasheng did not ask, but stood quietly and watched. Meng Zhuo stood next to Zhao Huasheng without saying a word. No one in the room paid attention to them, as if he thought these two people did not exist.

The exhauster stopped after working for a while. After another scientific researcher confirmed the air content reading in the hall, he tapped something on the computer in the room. Zhao Huasheng saw that the ring on the pillars on the screen began to rotate. Its rotation speed was getting faster and faster, and it was even faster and faster, and later it was so fast that it could not be seen clearly by the naked eye.

"This speed is probably faster than the speed of helicopter propeller?" Zhao Huasheng asked.

Meng Zhuo said lightly: "The propeller speed of helicopters is generally about 600 revolutions per minute, and now the speed of this machine is at least 1,000 revolutions per second."

"One thousand revolutions per second!" Zhao Huasheng was a little shocked. Even if he didn't know much about materials science, Zhao Huasheng knew how huge centrifugal force the circular structure would have to withstand such a high speed. How tough is the material that can withstand such a huge centrifugal force but still maintain intact?

"What topic should Director Li Qi use this machine to study?" Another question arose in Zhao Huasheng's mind.

As the huge ring began to rotate rapidly, changes also occurred on the huge screen in the operation room. A new picture appeared on the screen. Zhao Huasheng only took a look and felt shocked.

Zhao Huasheng is very familiar with this scene. In the past three years of work, Zhao Huasheng has seen it many times.

The picture shows something like magma, and you can feel the amazing heat contained in it just by just a glance. The picture has undoubtedly been extinguished many times, so it looks like a dark red color mixed with yellow, and things that seem to be gas rise from it. At some point, those things that seem to be gas will be connected into a circle in the air, and then they are torn apart by the huge force that seems to be the air flow, and then connected, and then torn apart, and then circulate continuously.

This is clearly a photo of the surface of the sun! But why does it appear here at this moment?

"The real-time speed is 1,135 revolutions per second, and the real-time temperature is 5,867 degrees Kelvin. "Apollo" has reached the gravity and temperature level of the sun's surface at this moment." The researcher who operated the computer lit a cigarette, exhaled a breath of smoke, and said to Zhao Huasheng.

Zhao Huasheng had already understood something at this moment, so he nodded to the scientist.

"Zhao Huasheng...I know your business." The scientist said, "I am a member of the scientific research department of the Crisis Coordination and Handling Center. My name is Wang Tang. I was borrowed by the psychology group that specializes in Li Qi to help them figure out some things."

"Then have you figured it out?" Zhao Huasheng asked.

"I figured it out." Wang Tang pointed to the huge quickly rotating ring on the screen and the photo of the sun's surface in the lower right corner of the screen, "That's all."

"Director Li Qi has been studying this some time ago? But what does it have to do with simulating the surface environment of the sun and...Director Li Qi's last words?"

This weird instrument simulates the surface environment of the sun. With the help of the centrifugal force generated by the extremely high speed, a huge gravity that can even be comparable to the surface of the sun will be generated inside the instrument. Then, the temperature and magnetic field of the sun's surface can be simulated through the electromagnetic heating system outside the ring and the magnetic field simulator. With gravity, temperature and magnetic field, coupled with some other fine-tuning of the instrument, it can simulate the sun's surface at least 95% true.

This instrument is undoubtedly of great use. With this instrument, scientists can measure material properties similar to the real sun's surface, simulate solar activities, and even study the internal structure of the sun. It is indeed very useful. Before dying, Li Qi performed operations alone here for more than a year. It can be said that Li Qi's energy before dying was devoted to this instrument. But... what does this have to do with Li Qi's last words?

"I don't know." Wang Tang shook his head. "This is the question the psychology team is going to study. I'm only responsible for telling them what the instrument is useful and what the data it produces means for a stellar physicist."

Zhao Huasheng was silent. After a moment, Zhao Huasheng asked: "Can you give me a copy of your evaluation results?"

Wang Tang said very simply: "Yes. I have received a notice to give you the greatest support within my ability. If you need me to assist you in researching the physical environment of the solar surface, I can come to you immediately to report it."

"No, no need." Zhao Huasheng shook his head, "I just want to know what Director Li Qi is doing and why he does this..."

"Each of us wants to know." After saying this, Wang Tang paused for a moment, and then continued: "Young man, at least half of the fate of mankind is in your hands. Your work is very important."

Zhao Huasheng smiled bitterly. This feeling was very bad. Everyone knows that Zhao Huasheng is very important, and Zhao Huasheng also knows that he is very important, but what is the important reason? What is the key to solving all puzzles?

Zhao Huasheng came behind Wang Tang and looked at the beating data on the computer monitor. Zhao Huasheng was also familiar with these data, nothing more than something that measures certain physical quantities on the surface of the sun.

After looking for a while, Zhao Huasheng discovered something strange. So Zhao Huasheng pointed to one of the data and asked: "High-precision light intensity detectors?...How can the accuracy be so high? Is it necessary to have such high accuracy?"

"No need." Wang Tang said bluntly, "But this was what Li Qi asked to install at the beginning. As for why, we don't know."
