Electromagnetic waves are sent out from the stars one after another, flying to the distant solar system!
At this time, all the empires on the star had gathered together and began to discuss and study what kind of thing this was, which seemed to be very advanced. In particular, what interests everyone the most is the precise positioning system and the energy that remains powerful even after crossing slow and long distances!
At this moment, on Venus, it has been the 46th year of the Imperial Calendar, but the Empire is now a little nervous. A huge challenge to the survival of the entire human race is about to come!
Supernova wreckage!
As early as a hundred years ago, scientists have estimated that the solar system will enter a supernova debris range; and according to current detection, there are still 18 imperial years before this unprecedented test is about to come. By then, even the sun will be tested... A supernova remnant covers a light-year area, and the outermost temperature is more than 160 K (K is the absolute temperature, about minus 110 degrees). This is when the average temperature is only 3- Among the cosmic background temperature of 6K, it is extremely high!
And this is just the periphery. The solar system will spend the next thousand years in this supernova remnant. Therefore, facing this test, the empire has no choice! All we can do is wait! Let God decide!
In the Imperial Academy of Sciences in space, all astronomers, cosmologists, high-energy physics and other elites from the Earth, Venus and the entire human race gather together!
When people on earth bring disaster to others, they themselves are about to face challenges from the universe!
Hundreds of detectors are hovering in the outer reaches of the solar system and within the Oort cloud. In addition to receiving detector signals from all directions in the universe, they also need to detect the space around the solar system.
Now, the data being detected is worrying. After more than 10 imperial years of exploration, this supernova remnant is still not very clear. But now, affected by the remnants of the supernova, the heliosheath of the solar system has begun to fluctuate far more than before. This is a battle between gravity. An obvious high-temperature ion belt appeared in front of the heliosheath, with a height of 30 billion kilometers, a thickness of 2 billion kilometers, and a length of more than 270 billion kilometers! ! ! A leather shell that wraps up half of the solar system's direction!
Based on existing observations. The solar wind is affected by the gravity of the sun and is difficult to fly out of the solar system; these charged particles will continue to accumulate and eventually form an invisible shell. Some people call this the sun shell, and it is at the top of this shell. It's what scientists call a heliosheath. The heliosheath has natural radiation protection capabilities and is also an alternative protective layer. Some star rays, etc., will be filtered out a lot.
Of course, the solar shell also has another function. Affected by the rotation and gravity of the solar system, its thickest part is on the same plane as the planet's orbit, which forms an alternative prism - for example, sometimes, only You can only see the bright stars in the planet's orbit or within a certain range; but if you leave the orbital plane, you may not be able to see the stars in space, etc. This skin effect once caused panic in the earth science community - thinking that the earth is a virtual world! But now it has been solved, and detectors have been launched into the universe. It is necessary to calculate the light distortion and impact caused by the skin.
But the problem now is: the outer shell of the solar system is absolutely unable to stop the supernova remnant - compared to this remnant that covers at least a light-year area, the small solar system is really powerless. It's like putting a tightly wrapped egg into boiling water. No matter how well prepared you are, as long as you persist for a while, it will always be cooked! This is the current situation of the solar system - how can a small leather shell compare to the debris left behind after the whole explosion! At that time, it will be like a sand castle under the huge waves. Disintegrate as soon as it rushes!
Didi... Didi... There was never a moment of leisure in the Academy of Space Science. From the moment it was established, it immediately entered into non-stop research. This 150-kilometer-long object looks like an artificial continent from space! Perhaps the technical content is not as high as that of a spacecraft, but it should not be underestimated! now. There are more than 300,000 people living here, and except for a few students, they are all truly top scientists - in fact, even those students are top students! If this place is taken down, human scientific research capabilities will definitely be set back 20 years!
Let a random scientist out here. It’s enough to build a high-tech enterprise!
"Your Majesty, there is insufficient data to make effective calculations!" Chen Feng looked a little pale. He had been stationed in space for two consecutive years in order to calculate the impact of this supernova remnant on the solar system. If Zhang Wenliang hadn't been forced to rest for several months, maybe his body would have collapsed now even though he was practicing cultivation.
"Whether it's sufficient or not, tell me your research now. Don't forget, every citizen knows that the solar system is entering a supernova remnant; now, everyone is waiting for your research report! Even if it is false, OK! ”
Zhang Wenliang rubbed his temples vigorously. It was not easy to sit in the emperor's position; and it was even more so now! The entire solar system is about to enter the supernova debris, and people now have an inexplicable panic - can the supernova debris melt steel?
Especially now, because of the highly developed science and technology of Venus and the openness of society, people on Earth have directly got rid of the government and asked the imperial royal advisory group: What should we do? Therefore, the pressure on Zhang Wenliang's shoulders is actually very high now: human civilization has a population of tens of billions, and it is on his shoulders!
"Your Majesty, although the data is insufficient, the calculated results are quite good. It is more in line with the previous conjecture, which is that the temperature of the interstellar space in the solar system will rise to about 20 degrees. By then, even the moon, Mars, Europa and Europa , Pluto and other planets are all suitable for habitation in terms of temperature. What humanity is about to face is not a disaster, but a good fortune!
Moreover, this increase in temperature will not have any impact on the sun itself. The surface of the sun has temperature fluctuations of several thousand degrees, and temperature changes of more than 200 degrees have little effect. However, the Earth and Venus must be prepared to block more sunlight, otherwise our temperature may exceed 50 degrees under the high temperature and sunlight.
The reason for this phenomenon is that, in addition to the temperature of the supernova remnant itself, the light and heat of the solar system itself cannot be dissipated after the collision, which will cause a galaxy-wide greenhouse effect. But it's around 20 degrees. will stabilize on average.
We have calculated this many times and the result is the same every time. ”
"Professor Chen, does this mean that humans will be able to immigrate within the solar system?" Zhang Wenliang's eyes lit up.
"No, Your Majesty. Among the current planets in the solar system, except for Venus and the Earth, the rest do not have enough gravity, and they cannot even reach half of the minimum standard. In such an environment, it is okay for a short time, but for more than three years, human beings It will become waste. For example, bones will become loose, blood vessels will swell, internal organs will degenerate, etc. Moreover, according to current life science research, humans can gradually adapt to a larger gravity environment; but they cannot gradually adapt to a smaller gravity environment, otherwise humans will. A very tragic turn will take place.”
"Hey. So, it seems that interstellar immigration is still the way to go."
Information from space is constantly being aggregated, and calculations are becoming more and more precise. But all the results show that in addition to the radiation being somewhat strong, the impact on the solar system will also be felt. It turned out to be good! ! ! By then, cold Pluto will become a mining site for humans! You must know that the development of Venus over the years has created an unlimited demand for your mineral resources. Interstellar Era. It is the pinnacle stage of a steel civilization! At this time, humankind's demand for steel and any metal can no longer be expressed in numbers!
Just to build a spaceship would require blowing up a 3,600-kilometer-diameter planet to mine—not to mention breaking it into pieces, but also dragging it back to Venus to crush its bones and ashes. And the current empire can only be regarded as touching the edge of interstellar civilization. Based on this inference, it is conceivable. When interstellar civilization actually enters, the mineral resources stored in the solar system itself will simply not be able to meet the needs of such a civilization!
Suddenly, Zhang Wenliang thought of the Zerg in interstellar movies or games: they eat wherever they go, not even the planets! Why does this look so much like humans!
The original definition of viruses given by humans. In the end, I found that the most suitable person turned out to be human beings themselves!
But now Zhang Wenliang suddenly discovered that the most suitable definition of human beings for the imaginary Zerg is still human beings themselves!
Shaking his head hard, Zhang Wenliang threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind. If he continued to think like this, he would be thrown a tomato!
After thinking about it, Zhang Wenliang suddenly thought of interstellar immigration, "Professor Chen, do you think this supernova debris will have an impact on interstellar immigration?"
"Ah..." Chen Feng suddenly froze! Yes, among the interstellar immigrants, Chen Feng also held a certain position in this technology team, and of course he had some understanding; but in recent years, Chen Feng has focused mainly on the supernova debris, so much so that he combined these two things. The relationship between them has been ignored; or in other words, everyone is busy in their own fields and ignores other things intentionally or unintentionally.
But now that Zhang Wenliang pointed it out at once, Chen Feng was suddenly stunned. Yes, will this change have any impact on mankind’s first interstellar migration?
This is definitely a big deal. This immigration, whether it is among the people, the scientific community or the ruling class, strictly requires a 100% success rate! If it succeeds, it will have a profound impact on the future interstellar expansion of the empire. And if it fails - hey, if nothing else, the lives of about 20 million people are enough for Zhang Wenliang to commit suicide to thank the world. Not to mention the confidence in the empire’s interstellar immigrants after the failure.
It can be said that this time is not just a simple immigration, but also a threshold! An empire is on the threshold from space civilization to interstellar civilization! The consequences of failure are not something the current empire can bear! To be precise, that responsibility cannot be quelled by introducing a scapegoat. The national essence of the entire empire for more than 40 years may be shaken.
"I'll do some research!" Chen Feng was serious and didn't give the answer on the spot. This is a scientific attitude. I am not an expert. I just say: I think...
ps: I have updated more than 10,000 words per day for seven consecutive days. I guarantee the quality and quantity. I am shamelessly asking for votes. There will be another update later.
