170: Chapter 170: 3500 degrees is still too high; the internal temperature is only 36 degrees.

" Holy crap!!!! "

" 3500 degrees??? "

" Compared to 15 million degrees, the interior of the sun has practically no heat at all! "

" Damn it, this is even lower than the interior of the Earth!!! "

" What the f*ck, this isn't just subversion, it's literally stomping the old solar model into the ground and throwing it into the ocean! "

" We, the interior of our Earth is much hotter than the interior of the sun... "

" ... "

Millions of viewers were completely dumbfounded after hearing 3500 degrees.

Inside the Dougu operations department, Wang Shulin and his colleagues, who had just been joking and laughing, were instantly enveloped in a cloud of smoke after hearing the answer.

Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief and shock.

" He... really dares to say that! "

Just as Wang Shulin wanted to say something, the number of people in the livestream surged past 10 million, and the barrage comments were increasing by the tens of thousands.

He was willing to believe that Jiang Zhe had a handle on what he was saying next.

At this moment, inside the Huaqing University lounge.

Jiang Zhe's statement made all the physics students stand up, their faces filled with disbelief.

Professor Wu was the first to snap out of it, shaking his head repeatedly. " Nonsense, this is pure nonsense—he is completely swapping concepts. A candle is chemical combustion, the sun is nuclear fusion; even if he said it was plasma, I could accept it. But comparing a candle to nuclear fusion? The underlying physical mechanisms are worlds apart! "

" How can he make such a simple analogy? "

" 3500 degrees is absolute nonsense! "

The slight fondness Professor Wu had for Jiang Zhe was about to vanish completely.

Perhaps Jiang Zhe had real talent, but why did he dare to make such a conclusion?

Dr. Li Mo and Professor Guan gasped, their faces full of disbelief; they couldn't believe Jiang Zhe would say such a thing.

It was simply too outrageous!

Only Professor Ouyang remained slightly calmer, as if he were contemplating something.

On the other side, inside Principal Fu's office.

Principal Fu, Professor Wang, Xiao Wang, and the other teachers were also stunned into silence by this conclusion.

Only Old Yu the Physicist stood up abruptly, causing his chair to slide back.

He shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe it. " 3500 degrees, he... he really dares to say it; but this analogy between a candle and the sun... "

In normal physics, the sun is nuclear fusion.

In non-normal physics, such as the Time Stream theory Jiang Zhe just mentioned.

Then the sun could be something other than nuclear fusion. Once it's not nuclear fusion, then... it can be compared.

That damned hot-exterior-cold-interior temperature structure was like a thorn in Old Yu's side.

He couldn't explain why the solar wind was getting faster using the nuclear fusion model; only Jiang Zhe's Time Stream model could explain it.

And now, a bizarre temperature analogy between a candle and the sun had popped up, making it difficult for Old Yu's stubborn worldview to handle.

At this moment, inside the History Staff Quarters.

The four old professors looked at each other. Professor Chen Runzhi's bread, which he had just taken a bite of, was now suspended in mid-air.

Professor Zhang Qinian opened his mouth, but stopped himself.

Professor Wang and Professor Liu Guangyi exchanged a glance, noticing the surprise on each other's faces.

" He's crazy, he's absolutely crazy! "

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Kyoto, inside Qingfeng Temple.

Watching Steel Rain, who was stunned into silence by Jiang Zhe on the big screen.

Zheng Ming's fists clenched, and he managed to squeeze out, " How does he dare to say that? "

Even the steady-minded Celestial Master Zhang and Wang Chongyang were dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhang Qinian lost his composure on the spot: " Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Earlier I thought you had some real skills, but now you come up with this conclusion—a candle is ordinary chemical combustion, which is completely different from nuclear fusion; this analogy is simply misleading everyone! "

At this very moment, similar reactions were happening all over the country.

After a long while, Steel Rain on the living room sofa on the big screen finally took a deep breath.

" My god, Xiaoyu's brother, how could the inside of the sun possibly only have this much temperature? "

Jiang Zhe didn't delve deeper into this concept, but instead curled the corners of his mouth slightly and continued:

" Steel Rain, 3500 degrees, that's not all! " He changed the subject, his fingers sliding rapidly across the tablet. " The temperature of a candle's outer flame is 2.3 times that of its core; and the temperature of the sun's corona is 1 million degrees, which is 167 times the 6000 degrees of the sun's surface! "

" If the relationship between the sun's surface temperature and its core temperature follows a similar astonishing 167-fold temperature difference as that between the corona and the surface... "

As he spoke, he wrote down that shocking calculation:

6000 degrees (Sun surface) ÷ 167 (multiplier) ≈ 35.9 ℃!

He held up the tablet, facing Steel Rain, who had just calmed down.

Whoosh!

Steel Rain jumped back like a startled Border Collie, retreating repeatedly, "????? "

Her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand to shield herself. " You and your filthy answer, get away, get away, get out of my sight, Steel Rain! "

Jiang Zhe's voice came again.

" Then, under the premise that the sun is not nuclear fusion—its interior can only be... "

" A cozy home of about 36 ℃! "

As soon as these words were spoken, the millions of viewers and teachers and professors who were still in shock from the previous 3500-degree claim...

...upon hearing this even more outrageous temperature, everyone was shocked into standing up, all of them dumbfounded.

Nearly 10 million people froze instantly, rendered speechless by this astonishing answer.

After a long while, nearly a million barrage comments flooded the livestream!

" How much? 36 degrees??? "

" F*ck, I'm literally falling apart right here! "

" 36 degrees inside the sun? That's cooler than my living room—damn, brother, don't do this to me! "

" Help! My CPU is fried right now! "

" 6000 divided by 167... I calculated it several times, it really is 35.9. Damn, how can it be such a coincidence? If it were even a little bit less, the temperature wouldn't be habitable. "

" So the sun is a thermos—hot on the outside, room temperature on the inside? "

" If this is true, should I burn the copy of 'Introduction to Astrophysics' I studied? "

" Mom is asking why I'm kneeling while watching the livestream! "

" Noooo!! "

" ... "

At this moment, inside the History Staff Quarters.

Professor Chen Runzhi's mouth, which had just chewed a couple of times on his bread, stopped abruptly. " F*ck! "

Beside him, Old Qian opened his mouth with difficulty, and after a long while, managed to utter: " Thirty... thirty-six degrees? This... this is absolutely ridiculous! "

Professor Liu Guangyi felt terrible, his heart felt so tired.

Once he accepted the identity of Xiaoyu's brother and the conclusions he stated...

His worldview would have to shatter 2.5 times every day!

Beside him, Professor Wang looked sharply at Professor Liu Guangyi. " Professor Liu Guangyi, if this number, if this number is true, then the foundation of astronomy is completely wrong! "

Professor Liu Guangyi simply slumped onto the sofa, lit a lonely cigarette, and didn't say a word.

...

Inside the Principal's office.

Principal Fu gently lit a cigarette, looked at the night sky outside the window, and without turning his head, gave a thumbs up to Jiang Zhe on the big screen. " Awesome! "

Professor Wang and Xiao Wang gasped in unison.

" Xiao Wang, is it possible? "

" This is no longer a matter of possibility. Once you accept his Time Stream concept... then the sun is not nuclear fusion, and then it is possible... "

Finally, several teachers looked at Old Yu.

Old Yu was frozen in place, all the blood drained from his face, staring intently at the AI's text on the big screen: 35.9 degrees.

" No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible; if it really follows his calculations... the hot-exterior-cold-interior structure... the inexplicable solar wind acceleration... "

" Could it be that the interior of the sun... really doesn't have such a high temperature? "

He didn't believe in the 36 degrees, but deep down, he somewhat believed in the 3500-degree answer—provided that the sun was not nuclear fusion!!!

...

Inside Qingfeng Temple.

Wang Chongyang and Celestial Master Zhang exchanged a glance, then ruthlessly lit a cigarette in the living room.

Amidst the clouds of smoke, they realized that the 36-degree answer wasn't impossible to accept.

Meanwhile, Zheng Ming was pale with shock and immediately stood up, cursing.

" 36 degrees? "

" What kind of infinite multiverse, parallel, black hole, white hole, relative, macroscopic, quantum, microscopic, quark, boson, God particle, metaverse joke are you making? "

" The inside of the sun is warmer than f*cking spring; I could go in for a stroll wearing short sleeves. Do they charge an admission fee, huh? "

Professor Zhang Qinian held his forehead, feeling numb and exhausted. " Absurd, too absurd, it's just a young brat stirring up trouble for the sake of it! "

" Are a candle and nuclear fusion the same thing? "

" It's a game of completely swapping concepts!!! "
