When this black hole was first discovered, Professor Jiang and his colleagues estimated that it might disappear in about ten years.

When Qin Jingyu saw the data, he shortened the time to about four to five years, but he did not expect that as the gravitational field weakened, the black hole would disappear so quickly, faster than people could imagine.

She guessed that it might be related to the Star Whale rescue, but it was just her guess and she couldn't provide any substantial evidence.

After the four missing astronauts returned to land, they underwent a full-body check-up immediately. Everyone was surprised to find that after more than ten years, these astronauts had not aged at all. Including various physical function data, there was almost no slight change from the last check-up they had in space ten years ago.

Even when Lin Ge and the others learned that they had disappeared for more than ten years, they themselves found it unbelievable, because for them, their memories of everything seemed to have stayed in yesterday, and they were completely unable to perceive the changes in ten years.

They looked at each other in disbelief, trying to comprehend this shocking fact. Everyone's face was full of doubt and confusion, as if time had stopped for them.

They even further verified this statement by looking at the food storage on the spacecraft. They found that the food reserves on the spacecraft had not decreased much compared to when they set out, which meant that they had indeed only spent a short time.

However, reality told Lin Ge and his friends that they had been away from Earth for ten years.

Everyone was amazed by all these phenomena. They began to wonder if some unknown time and space distortion or other strange events had occurred, causing them to lose their perception of time. This mystery made them fall into deep thought.

At this moment, Lin Ge and Jiang Yao suddenly saw their father, Professor Jiang Yuantao, and the old man appeared in front of them.

They stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they saw and heard. Professor Jiang Yuantao looked much older than when they left, and his face was full of traces of time.

Only then did they truly feel that everything they had experienced was real, and they really had disappeared for ten years.

But why can they feel the passage of time and even do not age themselves?

All of this is filled with too many unknowns and even weirdness.

The four missing astronauts were originally a state secret. Now that they have been found, they are naturally still kept secret from the outside world, so this matter has not been widely publicized.

After a series of questioning, Lin Ge and several other astronauts were secretly transferred to a military hospital for further examination and observation.

Qin Jingyu was busy at the time, so she did not see Xiaobai's parents. Professor Jiang went to the hospital with her. She learned all this from Team Leader Li and others.

When Team Leader Li and the others talked about how Lin Ge and the others hadn't changed in their appearance at all, they all felt a chill down their spines. They could only say that it was all too shocking.

Qin Jingyu originally wanted to go to the hospital to see Xiaobai's parents. After all, he had only seen them in photos before and had never met them in person.

After listening to the description of Team Leader Li and others, Qin Jingyu became interested and gave up the idea of ​​going to the hospital. They asked H to copy all the surveillance footage of Lin Ge and his search spacecraft.

It took her three days to finally find a clue.

Sixteen hours before their surveillance footage completely disappeared, a strange phenomenon occurred. She asked H to copy the scene separately for careful study.

After a week of research, she discovered that in space, the rules of time and space seemed to be broken, which might be the reason for the disappearance of the Discovery spacecraft and Xiaobai's parents.

In this phenomenon, the rules of space and time are disrupted, causing the passage of time in space to slow down, the image in space to remain unchanged, all signals to be interfered with by the magnetic field, and the monitoring image to become ineffective.

This is also the reason why Xiaobai's parents could not perceive the change of time and were sucked into the black hole for unknown reasons and appeared near the wormhole.

The time it takes for a black hole to form and disappear is extremely slow, but the disappearance of the black hole this time broke scientists' previous understanding of black holes.

It disappeared so quickly, so its formation must have taken the same amount of time as its disappearance. According to Professor Jiang's initial calculations, this black hole would disappear in about ten years, but no one knows how long it existed before that. Or perhaps, it could disappear suddenly or reappear suddenly?

Qin Jingyu's idea is not based on any scientific basis, so it cannot be counted, but the only thing that is certain is that the disappearance of the Exploration is related to the disruption of the rules of space and time.

However, she still needs substantial theory and experiments to verify this conclusion.

Half a month later, Qin Jingyu went to the military hospital in Zhonghai City.

In the car, Team Leader Li smiled at her, "You are finally out of isolation. Don't you know that Lin Ge and the others are very curious about you, and they are also very grateful to you for saving Xiaobai."

Qin Jingyu rubbed his brows tiredly and asked calmly, "I heard that the higher-ups are going to set up a new research department to study the Exploration?"

Team leader Li was stunned for a moment. "We did have this plan. We originally wanted you and Professor Jiang to continue to take the lead, but Professor Jiang is no longer in good health. Now that Lin Ge and the others have been found, he will retire at the end of the year. In fact, we all selfishly want to continue to follow you. You are the most suitable person to be Professor Jiang's successor."

Qin Jingyu nodded and said calmly: "It just so happens that I need your help with a research project that is also related to the Discovery."

Team leader Li paused and said happily, "Jingyu, you mean you want to stay?"

You know, all the research institutes of major projects in the country are waiting for Academician Qin to help them after he completes the starship project. They want Academician Qin to stay and continue to lead them in the project, but it also depends on what Academician Qin himself wants, right?

Now that Qin Jingyu has taken the initiative to ask to stay, it couldn't be better.

The management of the military hospital is stricter than before during this period. After Team Leader Li's car was checked for documents, he was allowed in.

Team leader Li parked the car outside the inpatient department, and the two guards beside Professor Jiang were waiting outside the gate to pick them up.

After Qin Jingyu got off the car, he immediately caught a glimpse of Lin Shen standing under a tree, smoking and dialing the phone. It seemed that the person on the other end of the phone was difficult to deal with and he was getting anxious.

She asked, "Is Xiaobai back?"

Team leader Li: "It seems that they are back. I received the news half a month ago. I heard that they had given up their work and came back. After all, they are my parents. They have finally come back after more than ten years. I must see them."

She nodded slightly. Jiang Jibai was such a busy man, and he had been absent from work for half a month. No wonder Lin Shen was so anxious.
