Gu Nianzhi looked ahead in surprise.
The fog above the circular crater was getting thicker and thicker, and the water vapor seemed to be evaporating faster.
His body and face were wet as if he was submerged in water.
Huo Shaoheng flew to Gu Nianzhi's side and pulled her back from the crater with one hand. He held Song Jinning's arm with the other to protect the two most important women in his life.
Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning didn't notice Huo Shaoheng at all.
Song Jinning stared at the data on the detector in front of her. She didn't even dare to blink, for fear that she would miss an important piece of data.
The undulating curve formed by the data flipped and moved on the small LCD screen, forming a three-dimensional cube. The branches inside seemed to have a life of their own, constantly folding and colliding.
When a curve at the top of the 3D cube suddenly caved in, and a curve at the bottom suddenly protruded, the middle part of the two curves suddenly overlapped.
Just as the two curves intertwined and overlapped, the thick fog in front of them slowly dispersed.
As the fog receded, what appeared in front of them was not a blue sky and white clouds. Instead, it was like a big screen in a movie, from gray to clear, and then to dazzling.
What appeared in front of them was a scene of heavy traffic.
What was going on?!
The thick fog above the circular crater became a movie screen, reflecting a skyscraper rising from the ground. The pointed roof was very distinctive.
Gu Nianzhi could see that it was the Empire State Building in New York City!
One of the landmarks of New City!
Sunlight shone in between the two rows of skyscrapers. On the not very wide road, cars came one after another. The traffic lights kept flashing, and the pedestrians on the road hurried to and fro. It was bustling and lively.
Statue of Liberty holds her torch high, looking down at the Hudson River.
Everyone's eyes followed the sunlight. Like a montage in a movie, the direction suddenly changed, and two more tall buildings appeared in the thick fog.
“Twin
The Twin Towers! "Gu Nianzhi called out in a low voice, her pupils suddenly constricting.
Huo Shaoheng had been on high alert and was not confused by the sudden scene in front of him.
Until Gu Nianzhi called out, "Twin!
Huo Shaoheng looked up abruptly.
It's really Twin from Newtown.
Tower！
Weren't the twin towers destroyed by terrorists more than a decade ago?!
How did he appear in front of everyone?
"Mirage! Oh my god! I actually saw a mirage here! "
The Russian scientists screamed and scrambled to operate the instruments to record all kinds of data.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Song Jinning in confusion. "Ms. Song, is this a mirage?"
Why did she remember that mirages were usually produced at sea or in the desert?
Could a mirage appear in an inland area like Tunguska, Siberia?
Song Jinning didn't even raise her head. She looked at the instrument in front of her and calmly said, "Mirage is actually a type of optical phenomenon. When the temperature difference between the surface and the air is relatively large, the hot air will rise, and when light passes through the air layers with different densities, it will refract and project the distant scene to a nearby place. This is what the ancients called a mirage. "
"So it's possible for a mirage to appear here? As long as there are layers of different densities? "Gu Nianzhi looked at the fog above the circular crater thoughtfully.
Maybe it's because of the fog?
But they could actually refract the scene of New City on the other side of the Blue Planet?!
But how could the Twin Towers, which had already been destroyed, appear?
The terrifying scene of a terrorist plane crashing into a building that had shocked the entire Blue Planet was still in many people's memories.
Song Jinning looked up at the monitor on the other side and saw the Twin Towers that had just appeared.
Towers (Twin Towers) was also shocked, but she quickly reacted and said in surprise, "This isn't a mirage!"
The Russian scientist, who was busy recording the data and taking videos, said to Song Jinning indignantly, "This is clearly a mirage. Look at the angle of the light refraction. These data meet the conditions for a mirage to appear."
Song Jinning turned to look at the Russian scientists. "But how do you explain the appearance of the Twin Towers?
Why would these two buildings appear in a mirage? Why would these two buildings appear in a mirage when they were clearly destroyed more than a decade ago? As a phenomenon of light refraction, a mirage always reflects timely scenes, not delayed scenes. "
The Russian scientists were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and asked Song Jinning in unison, "Then what do you think this is?"
"I think …" Song Jinning paused and swept her gaze across the faces of these people. Finally, her gaze returned to the silhouette of the city that had appeared in the fog in front of her. "I think that what appeared in this fog is New City from more than a decade ago, not the current New City."
Everyone: "…"
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She nodded vigorously in agreement with Song Jinning's statement. "I think Ms. Song is right. Look, in addition to these iconic buildings, there are also the twin towers that were destroyed more than a decade ago. Just look at the way these people are dressed and the style of the phones in their hands. Do you think it's fashionable now? "
Gu Nianzhi's explanation was exactly what Song Jinning was thinking.
From a purely theoretical point of view, she felt that this was not a mirage in the ordinary sense, but a physical phenomenon with a special meaning.
However, Gu Nianzhi was meticulous and observant. At a glance, she could see things that scientists like them might not have noticed, such as the way they were dressed and even the style of the phones in their hands!
In the past decade or so, Song Jinning had been in a daze. After she woke up, she had some understanding of the major events that had happened in the past decade or so, but she was not sensitive to these fashions.
Although Gu Nianzhi was young, she was not an internet child for nothing.
Thanks to the internet, she had read a lot of information about the terrorist act of the plane crashing into the twin towers.
She remembered very clearly what the people in those pictures were wearing at that time.
At that time, the Apple phone had not yet been invented, and it was not as popular as it was now on Blue Planet. At that time, the most fashionable smartphone was still the Blackberry.
Song Jinning continued, "So what we saw wasn't a timely mirage, but this huge circular crater was like a huge antenna that received the light projected from New City more than a decade ago. Then, it gathered and formed an image, allowing us to see the situation more than a decade ago."
As she spoke, Song Jinning looked at Gu Nianzhi again and smiled. "I remember that Nianzhi asked me on the first day she came here if we could see with our own eyes the events that happened in history or the era of the dinosaurs if the conditions were right. Now this fog is showing us that it's completely possible. "
Every moment, light and all kinds of force fields lingered around us. They were also constantly radiating outward, even into the future.
Song Jinning pointed at the scene passionately and said, "Since we can see the neutron star collision more than a hundred million years ago through gravitational fluctuations, we can see the situation more than a decade ago through the same gravitational fluctuations!"
"… But just like I told this young girl the other day, we can see the neutron star collision because the energy field it produces is huge enough. What kind of energy can this city produce that its scene can be recorded by light and radiated more than a decade later? Even if New City could produce such energy, it would have been destroyed by the energy long ago and would no longer exist. And now that New City hasn't disappeared, it's enough to show that it hasn't carried a huge energy field. "
"So, tell me, how did these scenes radiate from more than a decade ago to more than a decade later, and were received by us?"
Song Jinning thought for a moment and said, "I think we need to study the exact reason, but I think the transmission process is the same as a television signal. The signal sent out by New City more than a decade ago was received by us more than a decade later, and then it was converted into a visible image by the television. "
