In the distance, although the Shenjian spacecraft has escaped from the black hole, as Zhang Jingyuan said, these lunatics want to accelerate the spacecraft to 0.995 times the speed of light, even at the risk of being punished and deprived of credit.
Zhang Jingyuan just smiled at this. It is this kind of spirit that allows human beings to make such rapid progress. Of course, those who deserve rewards should still be rewarded, but those who deserve punishment should not be lenient. This success is not the success of a few people, but the success of a civilization. A Shenjian spacecraft involves billions of technologies. During the construction process, millions of engineers were concentrated on design and manufacturing. In the end, several spacecraft were produced and the most perfect ones were selected.
It can be said that the cost of building such a spaceship is higher than hundreds of top military spaceships! Just like the difference between a space shuttle and an ordinary passenger aircraft. Of course, it has a higher meaning, representing the ultimate technology of a civilization.
In fact, it seems that manufacturing such an aircraft is a huge burden, but as long as you persist, it will also have a huge promotion effect on the development of science and technology. Obviously, this success will definitely bring endless benefits to China's development. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the spacecraft turned into light after the speed exceeded 0.99 times the speed of light was an incredible gain.
But when it comes to expenses, Zhang Jingyuan feels a little heartbroken! Let’s not talk about anything else but just the energy consumption of the spacecraft. In just half a month of exploration, the spacecraft consumed more than 700 stellar units of energy! That is the total energy production of the sun in 700 days! This amount is almost more than 500 billion energy blocks! One energy block is enough to support the energy consumption of ordinary residents of a planet for 10 years. One can imagine that Boss Zhang was grinning in pain.
However, Li Canglan and Liu Haibo did not accelerate the spacecraft to 0.995 times the speed of light in the end, because at this speed, the quality of the spacecraft was higher, and a small part of the power system of the spacecraft had been damaged. In the end, the spacecraft was still able to use space to move. Use gravity, magnetism, etc. to capture it.
Don't look at the difference between 0.99 times the speed of light and 0.995 times the speed of light. At such a high speed, every increase in speed means a rapid expansion of the mass of the spacecraft. At 0.99 times the speed of light, the mass of the spacecraft is times the initial mass; while at 0.995 times the speed of light. The mass of the spacecraft is twice the mass! When approaching the ultimate speed of light. The mass of matter will expand infinitely, and every increase means extreme sacrifice. Therefore, the ultimate speed of the spacecraft. It only briefly increases to 0.992 times the speed of light near the black hole.
But that's why. It also brought great trouble to the capture work. The speed is too fast and the mass is too large; although China's current technology can easily capture planets, they are all low-speed objects. This capture process took more than a month. By the time we returned to the space research base, it was already 40 days later.
The Shenjian spacecraft, which was only three kilometers long, was dragged slowly closer to the mother ship when it left. Then the mother ship opened a window and slowly wrapped the spacecraft.
However, the warriors who succeeded in the adventure were no longer on the narrow Shenjian spacecraft, but had already arrived on a larger spacecraft to enjoy themselves. After the fleet approached, a group of people appeared in the mother ship through the teleportation array.
"Congratulations to the heroes on their return! Your names will be written into the textbooks!" Zhang Jingyuan received it personally. But the eyes looking at Liu Haibo and Li Canglan were full of a different kind of teasing. However, the adventure team of more than 50 people also returned with a full load. In just half a month of adventure, 70% of all the record disks have been enriched. Countless information is enough to keep scientists busy for several years; of course, In a few years, China's technology will definitely reach another level!
"Oh, Your Majesty, why did you greet me personally?" Liu Haibo and Li Canglan, who wanted to take the opportunity to hide, were a little embarrassed. Not only did you not slow down after exiting the black hole, but you also used your last energy to continue accelerating. This is a prelude to death.
"Hey, let me see our hero. I want to make the spaceship hit 0.995 times the speed of light. I wonder what the final result will be?"
"Next time, Your Majesty, next time we will hit 0.995 times the speed of light!" Li Canglan gave a military salute, blocking Zhang Jingyuan's words.
"Hmph, go and have a rest. The rewards that should be given to you will not be less. But for those who violate discipline, you will be allowed to enjoy it slowly." Zhang Jingyuan waved his hands and walked out. However, Li Canglan, Liu Haibo and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jingyuan finally did not blame them and gave them rewards first and then punishment. This is tolerance. At least some of the credit and the like will not be reduced; if the merits are calculated as if the merits are equal to the merits, these warriors who have fought with their lives will cry to death. It is estimated that the original reward of the earl will be reduced to a viscount; and Zhang Jingyuan will also be titled : A title for an unpopular and cold-hearted monoman - this is obviously not a good idea. Li Canglan and Liu Haibo may not care about such rewards, but ordinary warriors who are fighting for titles and nobility have to care.
However, Zhang Jingyuan left the teleportation array hall and turned around to the center of the research room. The recording disks on the Shenjian spacecraft have been removed. These recording disks are one cubic meter in size. The information stored in them is very complete. Even every vibration of the Shenjian spacecraft has been recorded. Of course, processing such complicated information is not a small project.
"Squeak..." The recording disk was placed into an interface slot and instantly connected to a powerful scientific research computer. Then the scientists all put on helmets, including Zhang Jingyuan and the Shenjian warriors who came later, all put on helmets and reorganized the data.
Everything went dark, and then everyone entered a world of brilliant lights. This was of course a virtual world, but the powerful virtual technology was enough to make people who didn't know think they were in a new world.
Everyone is at the center of a world, with different "continents" floating around, some big and some small. Each of them is divided into categories, including time, space and gravity, mass changes, brilliance changes, spacecraft structure and materials, human body neurological reactions, and physiology. Reactions and more, hundreds of categories big and small.
Zhang Jingyuan looked around. Then he slowly said: "This is the information collected by the spacecraft this time. Next, we need to work together. I hope that everyone can complete the analysis and research of these technologies and information as soon as possible, so that China's technology can reach a higher level.
We strive to conduct a second extreme leap test within five years and get as close to the event horizon as possible. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty Taizu." The scientists dispersed with a bang, each looking for their own fields.
As time passes, scientists are busy analyzing the secrets of the universe. In the eyes of today's scientists, if the secret of the universe is 10. Time and space occupy 6.5%. Visible matter accounts for 2.50%; and the secret connection point between space-time and visible matter is the black hole, which accounts for 10%. Countless people want to study black holes, and this was the case in the Pearl Star Field at the beginning. In fact, space technology in the Pearl Star Region can be developed. It is also due to black holes; and the formation of the Pearl Star Field. It also benefits from black holes!
during the study. The rewards for Li Canglan and others have also been reduced; of course, the punishments have also been reduced! Zhang Jingyuan found something for these courageous "warriors" to do - clean the spacecraft! Each person has a rag and a small space backpack; anyway, everyone is a master in the transformation stage and can already stop in space; let alone after turning on the energy protection layer. The surface of the spacecraft can be filled with air for ordinary people to live. But wiping the surface of a spacecraft with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers - this is equivalent to cleaning an area the size of Europe, all by hand!
During these research processes, Li Canglan, Liu Haibo and others were constantly called to cooperate and use human senses to proofread. For example, scientists simulated some situations at that time, and then let Li Canglan and others feel, check, and proofread; don't underestimate this process, which involves countless calculations, from energy to matter to materials to time and space. Series changes.
Sometimes a subtle feeling represents two possible situations, such as changes in time and space, etc.
Research results are delivered to Zhang Jingyuan every moment, and heavy research results can be seen every day. Although the cost of this adventure is very high, the rewards are also visible.
First of all, for example, the space-time around the black hole is affected and torn apart by the extreme gravity, allowing everyone to find a regular pattern, which is: space stratification! When we explored the destroyed wormhole earlier, we had already discovered that besides the main space, there were several layers of auxiliary spaces, just like a thousand-layer cake. But there is currently no way to reach other spaces; but this time, similar space fluctuations were found around the black hole! This means that humans hope to build their own wormholes in the short term!
There is also a very important discovery, that is, the phenomenon of the spacecraft turning into light. When the spacecraft exceeds 0.99 times the speed of light, to be precise, when the mass of the spacecraft increases to 2525 times its original value and maintains 0.99 times the speed of light, a phenomenon will occur. The mysterious phenomenon is light!
All the energy of the spacecraft is turned into power to push the spacecraft forward; but under rapid conditions, the speed is converted into mass through wonderful phenomena; and when it reaches a certain critical point, the mass actually consumes energy by turning into light!
This forms a phenomenon. When the speed of the spacecraft exceeds 0.99 times the speed of light, a large amount of energy will be converted into mass to hinder the continued increase of speed; in addition, under some inexplicable rules, a large amount of energy will It will consume energy through the phenomenon of light!
But don’t underestimate the light. In the process of turning into light, the secrets of the universe will be revealed through the blending and evolution of light of different colors! This is also a kind of reward. In addition to these, there is also the study of time; in this high-speed state, human society has ideas and intuitive feelings about the ethereal time for the first time. Although this feeling is very slight and cannot even trigger inspiration, it is enough to indicate that mankind has seen a brand new door! And the black hole can't escape even though it's here, just study it slowly in the future!
The rest, such as the structural design of the spacecraft, material screening, the physiological response of the human body, etc., must be studied. These studies are crucial to future scientific development! (To be continued...)
