Hot Jupiter (1): Lens

65 million years ago, Earth, Victoria Wetlands

"Maria, I need your help." As soon as Nikola Tesla saw Maria again, he couldn't wait to say.

"Nikola, what's wrong now? I don't understand astronomy or physics, what do you need me to do?" Maria asked Tesla back, then teased her beloved lover, "Are you asking me to help save the Solar System?"

Nikola Tesla gave a wry smile and pointed to the warehouse where space debris was stored, saying:

"I'd like to ask you and your friends to help me transport these things to the Moon as quickly as possible for a crucial experiment."

Maria could tell Tesla was serious and not joking. She thought for a moment and said:

"The space elevator is ready, and we have plenty of manpower here, but transporting to the Moon requires a large number of spacecraft. You'll have to figure that out."

"The Alliance has given me supreme special authorization to mobilize Venus's spacecraft and necessary resources. I rushed to Earth because I wanted to understand your manpower situation first. If it's insufficient, the Alliance can send a large number of robots or even special forces," Tesla said.

Maria understood Tesla's intentions and introduced him to the situation on Earth as a penal colony for Venus. A penal colony is not a prison, there are no guards, and the fences are not to prevent prisoners from escaping, but to block the invasion of dinosaurs.

After being sentenced to exile, prisoners arriving on Earth have freedom of movement, and their relationships with each other are equal. They are self-sufficient and sometimes complete tasks for the Venus Alliance in exchange for living supplies not available on Earth.

Maria lived with hundreds of clones she created, forming a small village where they hunted, gathered, and farmed.

Maria didn't feel that being exiled to Earth was a punishment. Being with these clones, who communicated only through music and song, seemed to grant her unprecedented freedom and happiness of body and mind.

"Nikola, not all of my people here are clones. I have a best friend named Vinu. She used to be an accountant. I'll ask her to help you with the calculations," Maria said, taking out an instrument Tesla had never seen before and playing a series of melodious notes.

Vinu arrived, followed by a little girl about ten years old. Maria introduced Tesla and Vinu to each other, then took the little girl's hand and said to Tesla:

"This is our Cynthia, Vinu's daughter. Maria and I were exiled to Earth, and Vinu chose to follow us."

Cynthia had large eyes and was a little shy when meeting strangers, holding tightly to Vinu's clothes and hiding half her body behind her mother. If Maria hadn't told Tesla that Cynthia was a clone, one could not tell the difference from her appearance compared to a normal Venusian.

Vinu was slightly plump, with straight, dark hair and a rosy complexion. There was no trace of sorrow or sadness in her eyes. She smiled and said to Tesla:

"Thank you, Mr. Tesla, for bringing the Earth specialty, fern kimchi, that I made to Brahma. Is he well?"

Tesla then realized that Brahma, whom he had met on Venus not long ago, was Vinu and Cynthia's family.

After the pleasantries, Nikola Tesla entered the data provided by Vinu into the portable computer he carried, including the amount of space debris, the manpower situation in the Earth penal colony, and the maximum daily workload.

Nikola Tesla had already obtained priority access to the interstellar emergency communication frequency band granted by the Alliance. He could maintain video communication with Venus anytime, anywhere on Earth or even Mars via relay satellites.

The video call connected, and Dean Abbott's image from Venus appeared before Tesla.

"Abbott, how are the transport ships between Earth and the Moon coming along? I calculated that we'll need at least a thousand," Tesla asked directly.

Abbott shook his head slightly with a serious expression and replied, "The transport capacity is very tight. We are working on it. You left in a hurry and didn't explain the situation we're facing."

Nikola Tesla pondered for a moment and said, "According to my theory and the calculation results from the Lightning Ball, the explosion of Saturn's moon will cause Jupiter to move closer to the Sun."

"Jupiter moves closer to the Sun, and Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars will also be pushed closer to the Sun. The habitable zone will cease to exist, and the structure of the Solar System will be completely destroyed?" Abbott exclaimed in shock, stating the worst-case scenario.

"I don't want this to happen any more than you do. I've never wanted my theory to be wrong so strongly, which is why I requested to start the lunar mass tumor experiment urgently," Tesla replied to Abbott helplessly.

"Nikola, whether your gravity theory is right or wrong, what I want to advise you is that the experimental results cannot change our predicament. Instead of going to great lengths with the lunar experiment, why don't we find a solution together?" Dean Abbott of the Venus Academy of Sciences said rationally and sincerely.

"I'm not insistent on doing this experiment. It's just that my gravity theory and an immature rescue plan based on it are so unbelievable and risky that I don't even dare to voice them."

Tesla frowned and continued, "Even if I said it, neither the officials of the Venus Alliance nor the scientists of the Academy of Sciences would acknowledge my theoretical predictions and remedial measures. They would only regard me as a madman!"

"How about this, first describe to me how the gravitational relationship in the Solar System will be affected by this massive ice mass formed after the explosion of Saturn's Sedna moon," Abbott asked.

Tesla's theory of gravity was indeed unbelievable. He believed that the magnitude of the gravitational force an object experiences depends on the intensity of the energy it displaces and the radiation form of the gravitational source (energy source). The radiation form can be represented and calculated by the peak radiation wavelength.

Within the Solar System, the Sun's peak radiation wavelength is a constant. The acceleration of planets in the Solar System towards the Sun depends solely on the strength of their respective displaced energy intensities, which is supported by mathematical formulas. The calculation results are identical to Newton's law of universal gravitation.

According to the black-body radiation law, energy intensity decreases with the square of the distance. The acceleration of planets towards the Sun also decreases with the square of the distance.

The unit of energy intensity is watts per square meter. With the planet's semi-major axis as the radius and the Sun's center as the center point, the total energy of the sphere is equal to the Sun's total energy. Ignoring eccentricity, the planet's orbit is a closed, circular, equal-energy line on this sphere.

For example, Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars. The energy intensity E of the equal-energy line is higher than that of Mars, so the acceleration of Earth towards the Sun is proportionally higher than that of Mars.

Physics laws and mathematics are truly magical. The linear relationship between energy intensity and acceleration can also be converted into a linear relationship between the hypothetical temperature of the solar radiation at the planet's location and the planet's average orbital speed.

The Sun's surface effective temperature is 5772K. Radiated to Earth, it is 395K, and to Mars, it is reduced to 319K. 319/395 = 0.8076.

This ratio is the ratio of the average orbital speeds of Mars and Earth! Earth's average orbital speed is 29.78 km/s. Multiplying it by 0.8076 gives Mars's average orbital speed of 24 km/s.

The effective radiation temperature sent by the Sun is proportional to the planet's average orbital speed? How magical!

According to Tesla's theory of gravity, energy transfer is the fundamental cause of object motion. Superluminal waves have extremely long wavelengths (170,360 km) and extremely high frequencies, on the order of 10^16 or higher. If an object's diameter (e.g., the Sun) is greater than 180,000 km, it will be penetrated by superluminal waves.

The Sun absorbs enormous energy, which simultaneously triggers high-frequency resonance in its internal hydrogen nuclei, forming nuclear reactions and releasing immense energy.

In the Solar System, the largest celestial body besides the Sun is Jupiter, with a diameter of approximately 143,000 km, which is smaller than the wavelength of superluminal waves. Superluminal waves cannot be fully incident on Jupiter and are diffracted, thus not triggering strong nuclear reactions in Jupiter's internal microparticles.

Although the nuclear reaction is not strong, it does not mean it doesn't exist. Nikola Tesla discovered a peculiar phenomenon in the Solar System: only Jupiter and Saturn exhibit weak nuclear reactions among all celestial bodies in the Solar System.

The evidence is that the solar energy absorbed by a celestial body should be exactly equal to the energy it emits into space. The observational data from Venus, Earth, and Mars confirm this conclusion.

However, it has been observed that Jupiter and Saturn release twice as much energy into space as they absorb from the Sun. The explanation given by Venusian scientists is that due to Jupiter and Saturn's larger mass and volume, their cores undergo slight nuclear reactions under pressure.

The unreasonable aspect of the above explanation is that the internal pressure of gas giants is closely related to their density. Neptune and Uranus, also gas giants, have densities of 1.6 and 1.3, respectively, which are higher than or close to Jupiter's 1.3, and much higher than Saturn's 0.7. However, the nuclear reactions in Neptune and Uranus are far weaker than those in Jupiter and Saturn.

Tesla's explanation is that although the celestial body's diameter is smaller than the wavelength of superluminal waves, its surface is spherical. When the arc length of its hemisphere is greater than the wavelength of superluminal waves, it also hinders the diffraction of superluminal waves, absorbing some energy and producing a weaker resonance reaction.

Saturn (183,000 km) and Jupiter (225,000 km) have hemispheric arc lengths greater than the wavelength of superluminal waves, while Uranus (80,000 km) and Neptune (77,000 km) still have hemispheric arc lengths smaller than the wavelength of superluminal waves.

When the two planets align with the Sun in a straight line, the outer planet will block the superluminal waves. As the superluminal waves directed towards the Sun diffract, the outer planet will act like a lens, focusing the superluminal waves that could not be directed towards the inner planet onto the inner planet. In layman's terms: Saturn gets bigger, Jupiter suffers!

If the hemispheric arc length of the inner planet (Jupiter) is greater than the wavelength of the superluminal waves, it will receive more superluminal wave energy, producing a stronger energy reaction.

"In three years, Jupiter and Saturn will align on the line connecting the Sun and Regulus. The massive ice clusters of Regulus and Saturn, spanning millions of kilometers, will become a super-sized lens, allowing Jupiter to absorb more superluminal wave energy," Abbott understood Tesla's logic and exclaimed:

"Jupiter's internal temperature will rise, its emitted energy intensity will increase, its acceleration towards the Sun will become greater, and its orbit will tighten, bringing it closer to the Sun. Jupiter orbits once every 12 years. Starting in three years, it won't take many orbits to push all of us inner rocky planets into the Sun!"

"Then won't we have nowhere to live?" Maria murmured.
