Time passes day by day, and one data after another continues to gather. Because black holes extremely distort space and time, the environment here is completely different from normal circumstances.
Under normal star conditions, the closer to the star, the faster time flows; however, this is not the case with black holes! At first, this was indeed the case, but when we got within the third danger line, because gravity extremely distorted space and time, causing space and time to collapse, so time here actually began to slow down. When the black hole's event horizon approached, time became almost Stagnation! And this leads to a consequence - here, even if you reach the speed of light, you cannot escape and can only be slowly pulled into the black hole, because you have been limited in time.
"This is a scene captured after hundreds of detectors crashed at the same location!" Liu Haibo looked at the analyzed scene in surprise.
It turns out that because time is extremely slow, everything within the horizon is almost stagnant, so the light here is even tens of thousands of years ago! It's just that these lights are constantly superimposed, forming a shape like a layer cake, so the black hole's horizon is actually colorful. It's just that the light stays here, and the light cannot escape, so that the outside world cannot see the internal shape of the black hole. It is only because of the development of space communication technology that this series of phenomena can be easily explored.
Another point is that when you look at a black hole from the outside, you sometimes see light and shadow flowing so fast that they are not mixed together; but if you look from inside the black hole, you will find that these light and shadows are records of segments, and they are arranged according to time and space. wait. Orderly arrangement. The reason why internal and external observation is different is because time and space have changed! There are two worlds inside and outside the black hole!
"Using more than 500 detectors, we took an image of tens of thousands of years ago. I wonder if it is cost-effective?" Li Canglan shook his head, but he could understand that scientists never care whether it is cost-effective in exploration and research, they just care Final result. Therefore, until now, at least three-tenths of social wealth in the entire China has flowed into scientific research and other related directions.
certainly. China can develop so fast. It is also closely related to the emphasis on scientific research. There are two aristocratic systems in China, one is the traditional aristocratic system, and the other is the scientific research promotion system; and scientific research also has patents, such income. It is beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.
Year after year. In the blink of an eye. Three years have passed since we started exploring black holes. In the past three years, an unmanned spacecraft has even attempted to fly over a black hole. However, the data obtained and direct feelings are not complete. There are many key phenomena that instruments can never achieve, that is - experience it personally!
Inspiration, personal experience, etc. are all the most important components of scientific research.
Also, in the past three years, Zhang Jingyuan has finally arrived. Boss Zhang also attaches great importance to this challenge to the limit.
"Report, the final trial of warp escape capsule and space movement escape capsule technology is underway. Please two adults, be prepared." The phantom of the scientist appeared.
"Thank you." Li Canglan nodded. Now that they are both Dukes, they should be called Sirs. As for the current scientist, Li Canglan still remembers that his name is Zhang Guan, he is Zhou Qing's mentor, and he is a genius who has studied space translation technology. Of course, studying black holes requires the use of many scientists. Scientists from all aspects of time, space, energy, light and radiation, original energy, matter, etc. are involved. Even in the past three years, three scientific research ships traveling hundreds of kilometers have arrived one after another, bringing a large number of scientific instruments and scientists. Even the Empire's First and Second Aerospace Technology Research Institutes are rushing here.
"Didi... the final route has been determined. It will fly over the black hole at a distance of 1.020 billion kilometers from the black hole's event horizon, which is 1.070 billion kilometers from the black hole. Please receive the diagram of the black hole and surrounding space structure that has been explored so far. ”
It has not been possible to explore the internal structure of black holes so far, and we can only stay at theoretical derivation; but the space-time structure beyond the event horizon has been almost explored. Tens of thousands of detectors, thousands of unmanned spacecraft, and millions of scientists analyzing around the clock, used the country's power to the extreme, and in three years, the outer reaches of the black hole were clearly analyzed.
The space structure outside a black hole is like an onion, but this onion has tens of thousands of layers, and the space-time structure of each layer is slightly different. Changes in space and time, especially changes in time, make the thickness of the surrounding space layers different.
Even if the thickness seems to be the same, because the time flow rate is different, for the aircraft, the thickness of the space layer is increased and reduced in disguise. This is relative. For example, if time flows fast, it is equivalent to a thin space layer; if time flows slowly, like mud, it thickens the space layer in disguise.
"Didi... all preparations have been completed, heroes please board the ship."
A unique spaceship slowly flew out from the middle of a spaceship hundreds of kilometers away. Different from ordinary spaceships, this spacecraft's thrusters are extremely powerful. Generally, spacecraft thrusters are sufficient. Now, with the advancement of space technology, it is generally enough to accelerate the spacecraft to 0.5 times the speed of light and use warp flight or space movement technology; so the general thrusters of spacecraft are Not manifested.
But the current spacecraft looks like the oldest rocket. The entire spacecraft is more than ten kilometers long, but it is 7 kilometers long. It is obviously a propeller! Of the remaining three kilometers, one kilometer is the living cabin and cockpit, and the rest is the warehouse and backup mechanism. During the two kilometers, everything loaded was energy blocks and so on.
In addition to these, there is a ring outside the spacecraft. These rings are also densely packed with thrusters.
"The inspection of Space Base No. 1 is completed. I wish the warriors a smooth journey and create our own glory."
"The inspection of the No. 2 Space Base has been completed. Time and space correction is our specialty. Fellow warriors, when we come back, we will make a wonderful film and television together. Make sure to turn on the general light and shadow capture device. Have a smooth journey, haha..."
< br>
"The 5,000 scientists at Space Base No. 3 are ready. When we come back, let's go find the White Fox Tribe and have some fun together."
"Old rogue, Base No. 4 is ready. The space-time interference around the black hole is too severe, I wish everything goes well!"
……
Each space base is a huge scientific research spacecraft, but these spacecrafts that are hundreds of kilometers away are so inconspicuous in space.
"Come here." Li Canglan took a step back.
"Thank you." Liu Haibo smiled gratefully and stood at the front, "Dear friends, I believe that we are the best. It took us a thousand years to rush out of the solar system. We conquered the 300 light-year sky, so we are not afraid of being unable to conquer it. A little black hole. Get ready for dinner!
Arrow. Set off! ”
"Boom..." The Shenjian spacecraft shook suddenly. Then in just a few seconds, the acceleration climbed to 500 times standard gravity! But now the exploration spacecraft is full of masters. Even the handymen are in the divine transformation stage; a powerful civilization has enough qualifications to be so "wasteful".
But with such a huge acceleration, even if Li Canglan and Liu Haibo were pressed on the seats for a while, it would take at least a while to react.
Looking from the outside, you can see that the spacecraft instantly sprays out ion flames that are tens of thousands of meters long, and the spacecraft also accelerates instantly and quickly gets rid of the fleet! Today's spacecraft engines are all space technology engines, and traditional plasma engines have long been unable to meet the needs of the starry sky. But the reason why the transmitter can still spray ion flames is because the power is too high, the space is distorted, and the energy consumed is discharged.
The fleet originally orbited the black hole at a certain speed, about 500 kilometers per second, but this speed was not worth mentioning compared to the speed of light.
But seeing the rapid increase in speed of the Shenjian spacecraft, this is a spacecraft built with the most advanced technology in China today. Although it looks old-fashioned, its power technology alone is at least one era ahead of today's mainstream technology!
The tail flame is still extending, changing from the light blue at the beginning to red-white. A large amount of energy is ejected. In the silent space, the spacecraft explodes with unprecedented acceleration.
It's really like an arrow traveling through space. Compared to a black hole, this arrow is very small, but its tail is long enough! The initial "tail" has not dissipated yet, the spacecraft has reached 0.01 times the speed of light, and the speed is still accelerating!
Everyone was staring at the screen, but except for the scientists, most people were staring at the small "meteor" that suddenly appeared in the universe.
accelerate! accelerate! ! accelerate! ! ! Speed is the greatest weapon to conquer the universe, and it is also the most basic driving force for the advancement of human society!
War horses allowed humans to initially transcend their own limits.
Machinery has allowed humans to initially exceed the limits of biology.
Airplanes allowed humans to initially get rid of the constraints of the ground.
Breaking through the first cosmic speed allowed human beings to look down at the earth for the first time.
Breaking through the third cosmic speed allows humans to look back at the sun for the first time.
Today, humans are going to challenge the first limit of the universe - the speed of light!
Previously, the spacecraft continued to accelerate and could reach 0.95 times the speed of light; but further upward, it is said that it can reach 0.98 times the speed of light. But in the universe with the speed of light, 0.98 and 0.981 are two completely different stages; and this time, humans are going to hit 0.99 times the pure physical speed of light! At this acceleration, the mass of the spacecraft is times the mass at the initial low speed! This is a challenge like a chasm.
One hour, reaching one-twentieth the speed of light!
But as the speed increases, the mass of the spacecraft also increases slowly; at least below 0.7 times the speed of light, the mass of the spacecraft increases very slowly.
It reaches one-tenth the speed of light in just over two hours!
8 hours, reaching 70% of the speed of light!
But the acceleration after that started to slow down significantly!
After 20 hours, the speed is 90% of the speed of light!
But at this time, the acceleration has begun to be difficult.
After 50 hours, the speed is 95% of the speed of light!
Some scientists with cultivation base have not slept for 50 hours, and they are closely monitoring all the status of the spacecraft.
At this moment, the Shenjian spacecraft has passed the black hole at the second danger line for the first time. It has initially detected some data and transmitted it back; it is currently in the process of moving away from the black hole.
"Report, the Shenjian has reached its first goal and is currently in good condition. Next, the spacecraft will use the gravity of the black hole to turn."
in such a rapid state. It is not easy to make a turn. A turn may have a radius of billions of kilometers.
120 hours later, the speed of the spacecraft reached 0.98 times the speed of light, and the spacecraft had completed its turn.
"Report to the command center that the spacecraft has completed its rotation and entered the expected orbit. Now, let's challenge the limit!" This time it was Li Canglan who finished the report.
Afterwards, Li Canglan and Liu Haibo looked at each other and saw the burning light in each other's eyes. In this black hole environment, once the spacecraft crashes, it is estimated that there will be no time to open the escape capsule; in fact, it is challenging the limit. There is a 30% chance that no bones will be left.
"Everyone is in position. Start the final program!" The two of them entered their passwords simultaneously and pressed the red button simultaneously.
In the dark space, the spacecraft adjusted its direction for the last time, suddenly. A brilliant burst of blue-white light. This is a devastating explosion of the spacecraft engine - burning energy blocks!
A spacecraft whose acceleration has been reduced to ten times standard gravity due to the increased mass of the spacecraft. It’s hard to start accelerating again!
10 seconds... "Energy warehouse No. 1 is exhausted!"
15 seconds... "The No. 2 energy warehouse is exhausted!"
20 seconds... "Start the explosive separation process!"
boom! ! ! A big explosion of purple, blue, red and white light occurred! turn out to be. All the bodies 5 kilometers behind the spacecraft exploded! The front part of the spacecraft was blasted out like a bullet! The spacecraft instantly broke through to 0.988 times the speed of light!
Such violent advancement made the spacecraft tremble violently. The outer shock-absorbing shell fell off, and the spacecraft suddenly shrank by 70%! At this moment, some masters in the transformation stage were already trembling with excitement, fear, and the influence of the spacecraft itself.
"Start energy warehouses 11 to 20 simultaneously!"
Boom...the remaining spacecraft exploded again! But what erupted this time was purple energy tail flame! It turns out that this is also a top-level engine that also uses the method of burning energy blocks. Although this burning method is explosive, it consumes a lot of energy. One energy block is equivalent to ten years of civilian energy consumption on a planet. At this moment, these energy blocks are as worthless as a mountain of stones and are consumed quickly!
At least 10% of the energy has no time to burn and is directly emitted, so the tail flame appears lavender.
"No. 1, No. 1, pay attention to the monitoring color! The time to activate the escape capsule is only 0.5 seconds! Our current speed is 0.9883 times the speed of light!"
"The distance from the black hole event horizon is 1.543 billion kilometers, and it is accelerating using the black hole's gravity."
"The speed is 0.9891 times the speed of light, and the distance from the black hole event horizon is 1.422 billion kilometers. It is about to exceed 0.99 times the speed of light!"
"Beep!!! The speed is 0.99 faster than the speed of light! The distance to the event horizon is 1.362 billion kilometers! All indicators are currently normal, and the engine loss is 2%."
There was a lot of light outside the spaceship, but neither Liu Haibo nor Li Canglan was in the mood to pay attention, and they were fully monitoring the status of the spacecraft.
But no one on the Shenjian spacecraft knew that after the spacecraft exceeded 0.99 times the speed of light, the surface of the spacecraft suddenly changed - light!
A layer of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the spacecraft, just like an umbrella, just wrapping the front edge of the spacecraft. The light was sacred and beautiful, mainly white, with red, yellow, blue and green mixed in, and it was beautiful.
"Close to the black hole at 1.1 billion kilometers, 1.09 billion kilometers, 1.08 billion kilometers, 1.07 billion kilometers... No, the black hole's gravity is too strong, and the spacecraft is still sinking!"
"Outbreak! Last resort!" Without any delay at this moment, Li Canglan immediately activated the emergency procedures.
Boom...the engine exploded again! The remaining energy in the ten warehouses two kilometers behind the spacecraft plus the engine exploded instantly.
"Pay attention to the status of the escape cabin! Pay attention to the status of the escape cabin!"
With this burst, the spacecraft's speed instantly increased to 0.992 times the speed of light.
"The three-stage engine started successfully. Burning the stored energy of deceleration! Acceleration... uh... 1 meter per second." The key is the follow-up. Although the acceleration is only one meter, it is enough to change fate!
The sudden explosion of the spacecraft, coupled with the slight acceleration of the three-stage engine, caused the spacecraft's flight path to take a slight turn and rub the edge of 1.06 billion kilometers before suddenly moving away.
"Oh oh oh...successful. The speed is 0.9918 times the speed of light, and the distance is 1.08 billion kilometers from the black hole."
"The speed is 0.9916 times the speed of light, and the distance from the black hole is 1.1 billion kilometers."
"Accelerate! We hit 0.995 times the speed of light!"
"The speed is 0.99163 times the speed of light, and the distance from the black hole is 1.102 billion kilometers; the acceleration cannot be increased, and the spacecraft is too massive at the moment."
"Request the command center, request the command center, the spacecraft is burning the energy of the deceleration warehouse, so the spacecraft may not be able to automatically slow down, request rescue!"
………………
"Successful!" cheers also came from the distant space base! Although there was some danger at the last moment, Li Canglan's prompt decision and the perfect production design of the spacecraft allowed the spacecraft to get out of danger immediately.
However, because the spacecraft is in space and does not have any force, the energy consumed by acceleration and deceleration is theoretically the same (not counting the waste of insufficient combustion). Now, although the spacecraft is out of danger, the energy used for deceleration is burned at the critical moment, so the spacecraft can no longer use its own energy to complete the deceleration.
But the spaceship at this moment is also spectacular! Although the rest of the spacecraft is only three kilometers in length and 200 meters in thickness, because the spacecraft has turned into light, there is a rapidly expanding light layer in front of it; at this moment, the light layer is tens of thousands of meters in diameter, and it is overflowing with light, as if it were The light of creation, all kinds of light dramas are being performed in the brilliance. Different lights combine and superimpose each other to become a special artistic creation!
Against this light layer, the Arrow spacecraft passed 5 billion kilometers away from the space exploration fleet.
"Chase!" The spaceship behind immediately dispatched a fleet, "Stop these lunatics!" Although he said this, Zhang Jingyuan still had a satisfied smile on his face. (To be continued...)
