Son of the Stars

Chapter 42 The Great Change
The research team is not to say that it is torn apart, at least it is scattered here and there.

Watanabe had to meet his local colleagues, and he needed the local General Bureau of Investigation agency to resubmit the investigation report on Giuseppe Piano.At least it must be confirmed that this person's security level is sufficient to access the possible research results of the research team.

Director Li Xiaohui was still struggling with Tianxiang, but a flash of inspiration from Lu Chen pointed out the direction for her.But this kind of point is only based on logical analysis - the credibility is not enough.Director Li Xiaohui began to look up all the historical records after Tianguan Kexing. The history books of East Asia, the myths of sub-Asia, the secret scrolls of sheepskins in the Mediterranean region, and other church collections were all her investigation targets.

The hydrogen atoms in the human body will not complete the transition from the ground state to the excited state overnight, and the external electrons of those lithium atoms cannot all change the direction of rotation without warning.

Director Li Xiaohui's investigation has made some progress, and the clearest change is that when the star of Tianguan was still shining in the sky, the church, which is the ruler of almost the whole of Europe, split—Christianity officially split into Roman Catholicism and Orthodox Church .Strictly speaking, this religious division that has affected mankind for thousands of years occurred No. 12 days after the guest star Tianguan suddenly appeared in the sky.

If this is used as a dividing line, the major events that occurred afterwards seem to have begun to show the characteristics of "frequent turmoil".In the No.12 year after the classification of the East and West Churches, the Battle of Hastings began.The Normans from Normandy conquered England.The blood of the French ruled England for 300 years, and the two important countries facing each other across the sea have been entangled ever since.

Two years later, the general of the Eastern Roman Empire ascended the throne after forcibly marrying the widow of the first emperor, and launched a campaign against the Seljuk Empire.The war lasted on and off for nearly 200 years.And in 1073, five years after the war began, the Seljuks took Jerusalem.

Jerusalem thus became the "Holy Land that must be regained" in the Christian world of Western Europe. Twenty-two years later, Pope Urban II delivered a speech at the Clermont Conference, calling for the formation of an army to aid the Eastern Roman Empire and help them regain their lost Holy Land.

The Crusaders, originally formed to assist the Eastern Roman Empire in regaining the Holy Land, sacked Constantinople, the capital of the ancient empire, 1261 years later.The huge country split and changed hands. It was not until [-] that Constantinople returned to the successor Nicaea Empire.And restored the identity of the Eastern Roman Empire.

So far, at least in Europe, some different characteristics of human activities have appeared.It seems that since the split between the Eastern and Western churches, human society has suddenly entered the stage of "conflict for ideas".

Prior to this, human conflicts and wars often had a very direct purpose.For land, for resources, for living space, for personal wealth... superficial, naked, but direct.

And after the star of Tianguan guest shines, wars still occur frequently, even on a larger scale than before.But the reason for the war began to become abstract or ethereal.Humans no longer directly fight for resources and wealth, but start to be connected by some... some abstract, or exorbitant, or universal reasons.Then fight for these "reasons" that have nothing to do with them.

This kind of analysis and conclusion made Director Li Xiaohui palpitate for a while, human beings really deserve the title of terrifying erect ape.In order to fight with his own kind, he actually came up with so many excuses and tricks.

Taking 1054 as the node, the Asian region also showed similar changes.Song Shenzong's reforms strengthened the country's power, but it aroused dissatisfaction among the local gentry and even the entire literati class.The old and new party and government are fierce and do not repair, which seriously distracts the energy of the whole country.

People who supported the reform and those who opposed it attacked each other, and the political battle ended in the victory of the conservatives.And when these people attacked each other for their ideas, a powerful enemy in the north rose.The conservative faction represented by Sima Guang won the final victory, and Sima Guang abolished all the new reform laws in the last eight months of his life.

39 years later, Liao was destroyed by Song and Jin forces.Another two years, the shame of Jingkang, Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.Song people moved south to Lin'an.

104 years later, the Southern Song and Mongolian allied forces joined forces to wipe out the Jin Dynasty together.Another 45 years later, in the Battle of Yashan, the Southern Song Dynasty fell under the iron heel of Mongolia.

And the twinkling Tianguan guest star has long since disappeared—as if it was just a "guest star" across the sky.

But from the perspective of modern people, the influence of that distant supernova on the earth has almost never stopped.

Within a certain range, the increase of lithium in the brain can stabilize people's mood.Lithium preparations have always been a very important drug for the treatment of mental illness, and the effect of lithium preparations on mental illness is a major discovery that opened the way for drug treatment of mental illness.

Under the influence of the guest star Tianguan, the electrons of these lithiums are all rotated downward—from Yelu Hongji to Wokuotai Borjijin, from Song Shenzong Zhao Xu to Urban II and Romanus IV For a lifetime, the lithium element in their brains was spinning downwards.

What effect did such a rotation have on them?
"According to your question, I have made some inferences." Director Li Xiaohui's scientific research AI Feng Te answered her question, "The change of the physical properties of lithium element has led to the change of its chemical properties, and the three electrons are all rotated downward. It may mean that it is more difficult to react with other chemical substances - when other chemical substances exchange electrons, they should also comply with Pauli's exclusion principle. The electrons that spin down mean that some chemical substances may not be able to complete the electron exchange. Overall From a macro perspective, the bioavailability of lithium in the human body may decrease."

Those emperors, kings, popes and sultans; those prime ministers and ministers, generals and nobles, they all threw themselves into the boundless vortex in front of them with sudden excitement and determination, with their spirits and emotions unstable.They will be more impulsive and more gullible.It wasn't because they were stupid or irritable, but because [-] light-years away, a gigantic star was reaching the end of its life, and exploded in a powerful explosion that blew heaven and earth.

The changes or influences caused by Tianguan Guest Star are far from being as simple as "making people more emotionally volatile".

The electrons other than hydrogen are also directly transitioned from the ground state to the excited state under the influence of the Tianguan guest star. An excited state with n=2 might not sound like a big deal—but that's in the "single atom" perspective.This conclusion becomes dire when the perspective is extended to an individual human being, and then to the entire human species.

An adult with a weight of 2976 kg contains about 2 moles of hydrogen in his body.To raise all the electrons of these hydrogens to the excited state of n=121.6, it is necessary to release energy equivalent to four hundred tons of TNT to the human body.At the same time, the hydrogen in the excited state will easily fall from the excited state back to the ground state - during this fall, the hydrogen atoms will release ultraviolet light with a wavelength of [-]nm and a very small amount of heat.

To keep hydrogen in an excited state, energy needs to be continuously and repeatedly released to hydrogen.The sum of energy to maintain the excited state of hydrogen in each human body will be thousands of times that of [-] tons of TNT.

And this maintenance process has lasted for thousands of years.
