Sitting on the sofa, Chen Yike held his mobile phone and his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Yu's figure appearing on the screen.
"Finally live broadcast!"
Standing up suddenly, she clicked on the screen recording software to record, then carefully placed her phone on the coffee table, picked up a screaming chicken, and tiptoed towards Chen Yu's room.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Chen Erke, who was playing with his mobile phone on the sofa, asked in confusion.
"Shh!"
Making a silent gesture, Chen Yike walked through the living room and walked to the door, listening carefully to what was going on in Chen Yu's room.
"Sister, what are you going to do again?"
"I'm revealing the big secret!"
"***?" Chen Erke was surprised.
"Shh. Don't talk and just stand behind me."
"oh oh!"
"Huh?" Chen Yike was suddenly in a daze: "Do you think this scene is familiar?"
"Where does it feel familiar?"
"It's a bit like reading a novel, where some bad author re-writes the previous plot..."
"No."
"It's my imagination..." Muttered, Chen Yike put his ear against the door panel and listened for a long time. When he found that there was no sound, he picked up the Screaming Chicken with a smirk on his face, ready to snap it suddenly.
If Chen Yu was inside, she was sure he would be shocked.
If there is no reaction under such a sudden attack, it is enough to prove that there is no one inside!
"Boy, cover your ears, don't be afraid." Chen Yike whispered.
"Is it a prank?" Chen Erke licked his lips and covered his ears in excitement.
"3."
"2."
"1!"
"oh!!!"
The screaming chicken was instantly pinched!
But the next moment, the door was opened without any warning!
"You..." Before Chen Yike could react outside the door, a stick fell from the sky and hit her on the head with a "dong" sound.
"Plop."
Seeing Yike falling to the ground, Xiao Taohong was eager to give it a try, so she picked up the amnesia stick and hit Chen Erke on the head.
"Boom!"
"Plop!"
Erke also fell to the ground softly and fell into a coma. Still keeping the action of covering his ears...
Bending down, she picked up the screaming chicken on the ground. Xiao Taohong fell to the ground in admiration: "If you see something bad about the chicken, you can take the initiative to attack! Is this the '***' you're talking about? It turns out that Mr. Chen had expected it a long time ago. It's amazing."
"You...who are you?! What are you doing?!"
Mother Chen in the master bedroom heard the sound and walked out. She was shocked when she saw Xiao Taohong and her two daughters on the ground.
"Uh-huh!"
The black shadow flashed, and Xiao Taohong appeared beside Chen's mother as if teleporting, knocking her down with a stick: "Take the initiative!"
Then, she knocked Chen Sanke and Husky down again, with her hands on her hips and she was very proud.
"The stability of my little Taohong is the real stability..."
…
same time.
Floating Castle, Principal's Tower Study Room.
Chen Yu explained everything about "Tabby Star" to the audience in a solemn tone.
"As we all know, if a star has a planet rotating around it, then when the planet 'blocks' in front of the star, it will cause the star's luminosity to drop. This phenomenon is called a transit. Modern astronomers use the transit method to obtain other information. Information such as whether there are planets in the star system, how many planets there are, and the mass of the planets.”
"But usually, this luminosity drop is only about 1%, or even smaller."
"And strangely, KIC 8462852, Tabby's star, has a luminosity drop of up to 22%! This is completely beyond common sense. Within the current human star system model, such a drastic luminosity drop alone cannot be predicted by the star itself. It could happen."
"So, after 2011, the astronomical community has some relatively authoritative hypothesis explanations for this."
Turning to the seventh page, Chen Yu showed the text in the newspaper in front of the camera: "First, the cloud hypothesis. After excluding problems with equipment or data, the "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society" believes that the decrease in the luminosity of Tabby's Star may It was the gravitational influence of the surrounding stars that caused a large number of comets in the Oort cloud of Tabby's star to fall towards the star, and the evaporated comet cloud gas and dust obscured the star."
"Evidence supporting this hypothesis is that there is indeed a red dwarf star 885 AU away from Tabby's Star. It is very close and has the ability to affect comets in the Oort cloud region of Tabby's Star."
"But then, in 2016, two Chinese astronomical institutions calculated and ruled out this hypothesis. This is because the cometary gas of Tabby's Star orbited the star in an elliptical orbit after being disturbed by gravity. It also did not have enough mass to cause 22 % brightness decrease."
After a slight pause, giving the audience ten seconds of buffering time, Chen Yu turned to page eight and continued: "Second, the planetary collision hypothesis. Several planets surrounding Tabby's star collided, producing warm dust that blocked the Bright. But collisions between planets will emit strong infrared light! However, the astronomical community has conducted several years of spectral energy distribution analysis through high-resolution spectrographs and the Nordic Optical Telescope in Eastern Spain, but has not observed any Excessive infrared energy."
"The planetary collision hypothesis is self-defeating."
"In addition to the two, there are many other explanations that are less likely. For example, errors in instrument data, volatile Be stars, cosmic dust, companion stars, protoplanetary disks, etc."
"For every hypothesis, there is a lot of evidence that proves them wrong."
Putting down the newspaper, Chen Yu looked at the camera, his tone getting lower and lower: "Only a seemingly absurd, but impeccable statement can explain the decline in the brightness of Tabby's Star. Since 2015, more and more astronomers have been leaning towards this theory. Opinion. Not because evidence was found, but because all other hypotheses were declared wrong."
"As Sherlock Holmes said, after all impossibilities are eliminated, the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable it is, is a fact."
"This statement is the hypothesis of civilizational creation!"
[Fuck!]
[Stop it…]
[Why does it feel like a joke?]
[There are many people in the industry who really think so, and I am one of them. You may not know that officials from various countries and the astronomical community pay a lot of attention to this star!]
[I still don’t understand something. Does it mean aliens? Can you come over? !]
[Isn’t it a Dyson ball? This thing is actually very retarded...]
[More than fourteen hundred light years, it’s very close.]
[It’s scary to think about it carefully.]
[Eradicate human tyranny! The world belongs to Tabby's Star!]
Waiting for the barrage to subside slightly, Chen Yu picked up "Civilization's Shining Moment" again, turned to page ten, pointed to a photo of a white man, and spoke faster: "Many astronomers agree with the hypothesis of civilizational creation, but this He was the first to publish a related professional paper. He was Jason Wright, an astronomer at Pennsylvania State University, who is still active. In that paper, it was clearly hypothesized that the luminosity change of Tabby's star is very likely It is caused by the giant structures built by alien civilizations. For example... "
"Dyson Sphere."
After closing the newspaper, Chen Yu stood up and opened his arms: "Jason Wright should also be watching my live broadcast at this time. Congratulations to you and Penn State University. Half of your reasoning is correct."
"The non-periodic brightness changes of Tabby's Star are indeed caused by a giant structure made by some kind of intelligent life."
"Next, I will present a series of indisputable evidence, including several new discoveries in 2019, to prove your point of view."
"And the reason why your reasoning is half correct..."
Stepping out of the camera, Chen Yu took the express box containing the 22nd Century Astronomical Telescope next to it: "It's because this giant structure is not the so-called Dyson sphere."
"But..."
