Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Inexhaustible Power

After I finished speaking, Bai Su said in surprise: "Then what should we do? Such a strong magnetic force exists in the bottom of the sea, wouldn't it cause huge disasters?" I sighed: "Of course we can't let it just stop there, we have to try to remove it." Bai Su smiled wryly: "Remove it? Use something to move it? Not even a little steel can get close to it!" I stayed for a long time before saying: "I have to use a wooden boat!" Bai Su didn't say anything, she cooked a bowl of noodles with ham and shrimp in clear soup for me, and when I finished the bowl of noodles, the time agreed with Colonel Jack was almost over.

Sure enough, not long after I put down my chopsticks, Colonel Jack's call came!He said: "All relevant personnel are here, please come immediately." "To your office?" I asked. Jack said: "No, you come directly to the conference room, there are so many people who want to meet you, more than you expected!" I put down the phone, Bai Su saw that I looked very tired, and immediately said: "I'll go with you, I'll take you there." I held her hand, and we went out together. Thirty minutes later, we arrived at the door of the conference room. A police officer guarding the door saw us and pushed the door open. Bai Sucai and I As soon as I walked in, I was shocked. The entire conference room was densely packed with people!

It was a fairly large conference room, which could accommodate seventy or eighty people, which seemed very ample, but now, with two to three hundred people, it naturally seemed extremely crowded. I stood dumbfounded at the door, and Colonel Jack came towards me. He stood beside me, but facing the crowd, he said loudly, "Everyone, this is Mr. Wesley and his wife." In the meeting room, there was a buzzing sound immediately, but the sound stopped soon. Colonel Jack said to me again: "There are too many people. I won't introduce them to you one by one. All our guests are consuls of various countries, representatives of the military, and representatives of shipping companies and airlines."

Looking around, I can see that those people in the conference room are all very distinguished figures, and most of them look very restless. I nodded, and Colonel Jack said: "Okay, now, you should explain to us why you asked all ships and planes not to pass through that area, and please report that you witnessed the cargo ship crash." I slowly took a breath, this matter, if you want to talk about it, there are so many things, I really don’t know how to say it, but I have to explain it in detail, because this matter is too important, I thought about it for a while Thinking about it, he said: "Please listen to me patiently, because this matter has to be told from the beginning!"

Although I said "starting from the beginning", in fact, I still omitted many unnecessary parts. I first mentioned the stone forest in Yunnan Province, and then I talked about a stalagmite in the stone forest, which has a spherical surface. , exposed outside, attracted the attention of a certain country's secret agents. As I said this, I saw three or four people in Zama, showing rather disturbed expressions.Needless to say, they must be diplomats of a certain country. Then, I said that Captain Kirk invited me to cooperate. I did not mention the repeated entanglement between me and Captain Kirk, but immediately said that Captain Kirk finally got the stone kite at the bottom of the sea and the circle The ball, right there on his yacht, sliced ​​open the orb.

Then, I narrated what happened: the destruction of the yacht, we were drifting at sea, and the freighter rushed over and sank in the same place. After I finished telling these facts, I paused for a while. At that time, the meeting room was surprisingly quiet, and there was no sound at all.Before I could speak, Colonel Jack asked, "What kind of power is that?" My voice became quite deep, and I said: "According to my inference, it is an extremely powerful magnetic force." As soon as these words were uttered, there was another buzz in the meeting room, and I immediately raised my voice: "It sounds like it's impossible, but I believe my deduction is correct!"

A middle-aged man stood up: "If it is a strong magnetic force, then, according to you, it should cause changes in the earth's magnetic field!" Another tall middle-aged man also stood up, and he said loudly: "I support Mr. Wei's opinion, everyone, I have received reports from several observation stations in our country that the earth's magnetic field, once mentioned by Mr. Wei During that period of time, it was continuously disturbed." The voices in the meeting room became even more chaotic, and I said loudly, "Please be quiet and listen to this gentleman!"

The tall middle-aged man said again: "But this kind of interference, within two hours, quickly weakened, and finally became zero." I was stunned: "What does this mean?" The man said: "This proves that in a certain area of ​​the earth, there was indeed an incredibly strong magnetic force, but although this magnetic force was strong enough to affect the entire earth's magnetic field, it continued to weaken within two hours until The magnetism is completely gone." I stayed for a moment: "You mean, this magnetic force no longer exists?" The man said: "From the information I got, the result is exactly the same."

I felt very confused in my heart. If that extremely powerful magnetic force really disappeared, it would be a great blessing. But has it really disappeared? In the meeting room, everyone whispered to each other, discussing different things.Bai Su whispered a few words in my ear, and I immediately said: "Everyone, it is very simple to prove this matter, we can ask the local police to arrange a big wooden boat, let us go there Go and observe!" The tall middle-aged man said: "Actually, any ship can be used to approach that place, because the magnetic force has disappeared. I believe in the detection records of scientific instruments."

Several people said at the same time: "We have to take a look!" The proposal, "We've got to go and have a look," got a majority of the votes.Colonel Jack immediately arranged for the ship, and a group of scientific researchers also arranged for the instruments. We are scheduled to set off tomorrow morning. For the sake of caution, everyone agrees that ships and planes will not pass through that area for the time being before conducting field observations. The next day, a total of three sailboats set off with us. The sea is calm and the field of vision is boundless. For the sake of caution, a magnetic response instrument is placed on the bow of each ship. Once the instrument has a report, it is ready to abandon the ship and board the small wooden boat prepared in advance.

Originally, we planned to use wooden boats entirely, but it was a rather long voyage after all, and it would be a waste of time to use wooden boats. Therefore, we adopted a compromise method and used motor sailboats to go there. If there is any response, abandon the ship immediately. After a few hours of sailing at sea, I had a good night's rest, and I can say that I looked refreshed. The ship I was in, at the forefront, was a very experienced navigator. When the ship gradually approached the wreck site, everyone became tense, and everyone gathered around the magnetic lateral stabilizator to see if there was any reaction from the instrument. The pointer on the instrument has always been in the normal position, and it is getting closer and closer to the accident site, but it still does not change. Colonel Jack looked at me: "Disappeared!" Although I was still very puzzled in my heart, I didn't understand why such a strong magnetic force would disappear, but at this time, I had to admit that the magnetic force had indeed disappeared. Looking at the calm sea, I nodded: "It seems that the magnetic force has indeed disappeared!" Colonel Jack looked at me, and suddenly smiled maliciously: "Perhaps, there is no such magnetic force at all!" I just feel angry. If there were not many people on the deck, and there were many diplomats among them, I would definitely have killed Colonel Jack. But at this moment, I suppressed my anger and said with a sneer, "Colonel, you remind me of coral polyps in the sea!" Colonel Jack blushed, turned and walked away. He wanted to deny the existence of that magnetic force, but it was naturally impossible, because records from all over the world indicated that the earth's magnetic field had been disturbed during that time. After one night, more information has been obtained, and the radio communication in many places has also been strongly interfered, and the degree of interference is higher than the largest explosion of sunspots. Astronomical observatories around the world have also made reports, and some observatory directors even believed that a new, undetectable explosion occurred on the sun to cause this phenomenon. However, I understood very well that what caused this phenomenon was only a small ball—a small black ball no bigger than a ping-pong ball! The ship finally arrived at its destination. On the surface of the sea, there were no marks to identify, but Captain Kirk remembered the exact location of the yacht when it happened, and we came from this location. The sea was extremely calm, and there was no unusual response from the instrument at all.The three ships joined together, and all the people gathered again. Colonel Jack announced loudly: "Okay, the matter is over, we can all go back!" An oceanographer said: "For the sake of safety, I think we should dive to the bottom of the sea to have a look. Fortunately, we have diving equipment and divers." This proposal was echoed by many people. Colonel Jack turned his head and looked at me: "Of course you also want to dive to the bottom of the sea to find out, don't you?" I said coldly: "If you approve!" Colonel Jack's powers are great, but naturally not high enough to prohibit me from diving under the sea.So he immediately understood that I was mocking him by saying this, and he gave me another hard look. I understand his feelings very well. He once suffered a big loss from Captain Kirk, but it was I, not him, who caught Captain Kirk. Moreover, Captain Kirk is now in the hands of the Thai police! Jack stared at me for a long time before saying: "You are a person who is treated specially by the international police. This time, you have captured Captain Kirk. Naturally, it is even more extraordinary!" I couldn't help laughing, not only because Colonel Jack was small, but because I already expected him to be upset with me about it. I smiled and said, "Colonel, it's all thanks to your leadership!" The colonel's face became even redder, and he said sharply, "Don't mock me unscrupulously!" I pretended to be surprised: "Hey, did I say something wrong? That's what I told the head of the Thai police. I believe the international police must have received the same report!" Colonel Jack's anger disappeared immediately, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Really, how do you tell people, can I know the content first?" I said: "I said, I was able to deal with Captain Kirk under your guidance. Everything is due to you!" Jack rubbed his hands: "You can't say that either!" I laughed, I had already expected that the situation like today would happen between me and Colonel Jack, so I did give him all the credit for arresting Captain Kirk, I didn't mean to please him, and On the one hand, I have no intention of doing this kind of work, and on the other hand, Colonel Jack and I will always meet in the future, so why bother him to be unhappy when he sees me? Jack reached out, shook my hand, and shook, "Thank you, Wesley, you are ready to go into the water!" I smiled and said, "You can also prepare to accept the award!" He "hehe" smiled happily. At this time, three divers had appeared on the boat, and I quickly changed into the diver's equipment and jumped into the sea with them. Five hundred feet deep, this kind of deep sea diving is really beyond my ability, but I still managed to dive down. When I could see the bottom of the sea, the three divers and I were gesticulating, and we all expressed extreme surprise. The situation on the bottom of the sea is indeed amazing. The bottom of the sea in that area is as flat as if it has been squeezed by a steamroller. It is just flat sand, almost nothing, no rocks, no seaweed, completely like a seabed. desert. Ordinarily, such a situation shouldn’t happen on the bottom of this area. When we swam close to the bottom of the sea, we found that the flat sea sand also had slight ups and downs, and those ups and downs formed a big whirlpool. After a while, we found the center of the vortex. The central part of the "vortex" is a rather deep pool, more than ten feet deep. The nearby sea sand is slowly sliding down to the central part of the vortex. I believe that if you dive into the bottom of the sea later, That vortex must also disappear, and this deep pit must have been deeper than it is now when it was first formed. My mind was very confused. I expected to see a large mass of steel after I dived into the water, but now I saw nothing, only such a vortex. Where did the steel from that yacht and cargo ship go?And what kind of force formed such a large vortex on the bottom of the sea? A series of questions circled in my mind, but I couldn't get the answer.A diver was taking pictures under the sea, and I didn't wake up until they finished their work and one of them reached out to pat me on the shoulder, and I surfaced with them like a dream.On the way home, I was still thinking about this question. Six days later, the military convened a meeting of experts and invited me to attend.There are many experts participating in this meeting.At the meeting, the photos taken at the bottom of the sea that day were enlarged and hung on the shelf. An expert pointed to the deep vortex on the photo: "After detailed research, we believe that this deep vortex is caused by a huge vortex. The sinking force is like the vortex formed when the plug of the bathtub is opened and the water leaks downward, which can be seen from the distribution of sea sand beside this deep vortex." When he talked about this, he paused for a while, and then said: "When this powerful sinking force occurs, the bottom of the sea must be turned upside down. was pulled, so it caused the extreme flatness of the seabed." The expert looked at me after talking about this: "The question now is, where does that powerful sinking force come from?" I thought he was addressing me with this question, so I stood up: "We have been sure that there is an object with a strong magnetic force. The steel, with it at the center, is squeezed into a huge steel mass. I don't know how this steel mass affects the magnetism. That will leave the opinion of experts." A very thin person stood up: "If that object really has such a strong magnetic force, then the molecular arrangement of the steel it attracts will change and become a magnet with strong magnetism." I immediately asked: "Your opinion is that the formation of the steel group will make the magnetic force stronger than before?" The man nodded and said, "Yes!" I immediately said again: "But in fact, its magnetic force gradually disappeared within two hours!" After a moment of silence in the venue, an old man said hoarsely: "My guess is that this big iron ball has sunk." I immediately asked: "What force caused the big iron group to sink?" The old man leaned on his cane and stood up: "I speculated that there happened to be an iron ore on the bottom of the sea, and the magnetic force had an effect on the iron ore. Of course, no matter how powerful the magnetic force was, it could not pull up the entire iron ore, so the only one The result is that the big iron ball sinks down, passes through the sea sand and sea mud, even if it encounters hard rocks, due to the strong magnetic force, the big iron ball will turn into countless tiny magnets and disperse. , burrowed into a crevice in the stone, and continued to sink. We use the word "sink" just in passing. In fact, the object and the steel around it were driven by a powerful and unparalleled force. , squeezed downwards, it is possible that most of the steel in it lost its magnetism due to too much force squeezed into the cracks in the stone, but a small part of it must still be squeezed downwards.” All the people in the venue were listening to the old man's opinion with awe. When the old man gasped slightly and stopped, I said, "Then, do you think the disappearance of the magnetic force is due to too much barrier?" The old man nodded: "Yes, it may have sunk thousands of feet. Under such a deep barrier, it is naturally difficult for the magnetic force to penetrate the seabed, unless there is a greater attraction on the ground than the seabed iron ore." The explanation of the veteran expert was praised by all the participants, who unanimously agreed to use his speculation as the conclusion of the meeting. The atmosphere of the meeting became relaxed, and I took the opportunity to ask a question, saying: "Everyone, this matter can be said to have been resolved, but why is the thing with such a huge magnetic force in the ball in the rock? How did it come here? It is definitely not a natural thing, because it is surrounded by a layer of something, which is only a few inches thick, but it can block the strong magnetic force, and scientists from a certain country have studied this Matter, and think that it is not everything on the earth.” This question of mine has caused everyone to discuss for a long time, but no conclusion can be drawn.Now, I have to mention Captain Kirk. After being requested by the international police, Captain Kirk was extradited to this port for trial. He was sentenced to death and is waiting to serve his sentence in the local prison.The night before his execution, I went to see him in the death row, and he seemed very calm. The purpose of my visit was to tell him the results of the meeting and the opinions of experts. After listening to my report, Captain Kirk said: "The expert was wrong. My guess is that it is not that there is an iron ore on the seabed, but that it is attracted by the outer layer of magma in the earth's core. The outer layer of magma is iron, and the thing directly Drilled down to the center of the earth." I stayed for a while, and he said again: "I have thought about the origin of that thing for a long time, and I have come to a conclusion." I said, "What's your conclusion?" Captain Kirk said: "I think there are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that before our generation, advanced organisms appeared on the earth, and the ball was left by them. After that, the earth passed by again. The earth-shaking changes happened, the ball sank into the magma, the magma turned into rock, and after hundreds of millions of years of weathering, it was revealed again." I took a slow breath and said, "What about the second possibility?" Captain Kirk waved his hand and said: "The second possibility is that someone else left behind. Suppose hundreds of millions of years ago, the earth was still a molten world, and the "people" in other galaxies flew close to the earth and left behind. That ball has become in the rock. If that's the case, then, it is very possible that this kind of 'human' spaceflight, the powerful power is definitely not solid fuel, but magnetic force, using various planetary problems Magnetic traction, for unimaginable high-speed flight!" I didn't say anything, but both assumptions made by Captain Kirk may, of course, be entirely different.But if I have to make a choice, then I would rather choose the second possibility. Especially his last sentence left a deep impression on me. Indeed, if the unparalleled magnetic force is applied to interstellar flight, it will truly exist forever, and it will never be afraid of being exhausted. It can be said to be the only ideal for long-term interstellar flight. Power up! (full text)
