Chapter 95 - 95: 95: A Discovery That Could Shake The World! (Seeking Recommendation)

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..
“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!
