Chapter 568 This is caused by a black hole
“Ning Chen... I don’t know what kind of threat this is, and I don’t know if this threat is real. But this is the most powerful thing I have ever felt. It was a strong one, so I still have to tell you these feelings of mine..."
At this moment, Song Xiyun also seemed very entangled, because Song Xiyun knew that this feeling of hers might just be... It's just an illusion, because there is no other evidence to prove that Song Xiyun's premonition is real.
“It doesn’t matter, no matter whether these threats really exist or not, we must always stay vigilant. Perhaps our previous monitoring of these potential crises was not enough, so I will re-examine this information in detail. Let’s test it.”
Song Xiyun nodded slightly after hearing this. After all, the environment in this universe is so complicated, and there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Ning Chen first checked various information about robot civilization. This time, Ning Chen's detection was much more detailed than usual. However, after some testing, Ning Chen did not notice any abnormal information.
This is not to blame for Ning Chen’s lack of careful detection. After all, the virtual space is completely isolated from the real space. If one were not aware of the existence of the virtual space, it would indeed be very difficult to find traces of this matter. of.
Next, Ning Chen turned his attention to this alien civilization, but after careful inspection, Ning Chen still did not find any abnormalities.
"Song Xiyun, I have not found any abnormalities in the robot civilization and this alien civilization so far. Of course, this does not completely rule out their threat to us, but we can also extend the detection range further. "
Looking at Ning Chen shaking his head and saying these words, Song Xiyun suddenly remembered something and said anxiously:
"Ning Chen... Do you think that this alien civilization has revealed the location information of our Blue Star civilization and let other alien civilizations discover it? This may also be the reason why I have this uncomfortable feeling. . ”
“This possibility does exist, but according to my calculations, the probability of this actually happening is still very small. In the universe, the distance between two civilizations is usually a few light years. Even more distant, the distance between us and this alien civilization is already very close.”
According to Ning Chen’s understanding of the universe, even if there are planets with life, it is not uncommon. However, it is not easy for life to develop into a highly developed civilization. It is more likely to perish before it evolves to possess intelligence, and it is difficult to fully adapt to its current environment.
Although the reason for Song Xiyun's uncomfortable feeling was not immediately found, Ning Chen did not give up thinking about this matter, but continued to analyze various situations in the universe.
Until a few days gradually passed, Ning Chen finally noticed something very wrong in the depths of the universe.
"How is it possible...According to the laws of normal electromagnetic wave propagation, the electromagnetic wave distribution here cannot be like this. But according to the information we searched, this is indeed the data we actually observed..."
Listening to Ning Chen’s somewhat incoherent words, Song Xiyun couldn’t help but asked in confusion:
“Ning Chen, such electromagnetic wave data does not conform to our existing physical laws of the universe. But ...What could be the essential cause of this incident?”
Ning Chen frowned and thought for a while, and then gave Song Xiyun a very wild inference.
“This phenomenon is very difficult to describe. If I use a relatively simple example to compare it, it is like the refraction of light. But the actual situation will only be more complicated. If there is no problem with my analysis... …I’m afraid there may be a scene where space is folded…”
"Space...is actually folded? Is such a situation really possible in the universe?"
Humans have proposed the concept of space folding many years ago, but that's it The situation more often appears in science fiction novels and science fiction movies. In the actual universe, humans have never observed a similar scene before, and they have never really believed that space can be folded so easily.
“Yes, judging from the information I have obtained so far, I can basically confirm this. And this phenomenon should not occur naturally, but is deliberately caused by some kind of force... "
After listening to Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun's brows suddenly furrowed, knowing what Ning Chen meant.
"Ning Chen... you are saying that deep in the universe, there is a civilization with higher technological strength that can already achieve the technology of folding space? If this is true, , then our Blue Star civilization is not at the same level as them!”
Although after these years of continuous development, Blue Star Civilization is no longer the "weak" civilization it was before. Not only has it exceeded the level of a first-level civilization, it has also spread its sphere of influence to multiple planets and defeated invasions. Powerful alien civilization in the solar system.
But even so, Blue Star Civilization has never tried such a powerful technology as "space folding", and has only conducted research on increasing the speed of space navigation.
Ning Chen and Song Xiyun both know in their hearts that if there really is an alien civilization with the powerful ability to fold space, then they can reach where they want to go faster than the speed of light. place.
After being silent for a while, Ning Chen took out a piece of white paper and said to Song Xiyun:
"Assuming that this white paper is a two-dimensional space, normally, if you want From one place to another, you can only go through the path on the white paper. The shortest distance is the line segment between these two points..."
As he spoke, Ning Chen suddenly folded the white paper.
“However, if we make some changes to this two-dimensional space, from the inside of this two-dimensional space, this two-dimensional space may not change, but from a higher-dimensional perspective , the distance between these two positions is completely different. This is a simple space folding concept. As long as we extend this theory to three-dimensional space, we can explain this technology..."
Even so, Ning Chen can only understand the general principles of this technology now. As for many details inside, Ning Chen cannot know immediately. If these things are really as they feared, then when this alien civilization that created space folding learns about the existence of the Blue Star civilization, it will be able to come to the Blue Star at a speed exceeding the speed of light, because they can Use the ability of space folding to greatly shorten the distance between these two locations.
In this way, the time for Blue Star Civilization to face the next crisis will be greatly advanced.
Seeing the worried look on Song Xiyun's face, Ning Chen suddenly smiled and said:
"Of course, there is no need for us to worry too much about this. All the signs now can show that even if This alien civilization really exists and has not noticed us. Moreover, the use of space folding technology cannot be completely unlimited. We can use the current time to study this technology. "
Ning Chen's comfort did make Song Xiyun feel a little more relaxed, but there were still some other worries in Song Xiyun's heart. It seemed that it was not just this one thing that made Song Xiyun worried.
"Ning Chen... I still think that we still have some undiscovered crises. If possible, you'd better investigate other situations in the universe."
Song Xiyun's words made Ning Chen feel a little unexpected, because apart from these traces of space folding, Ning Chen did not find any other abnormalities.
"Okay, I will pay more attention to various situations in the universe. No matter what, we still gained something this time, at least we won't be as confused as before."
...... …
In the following time, Ning Chen focused his main energy on research on space folding technology.
Actually, it’s not that Ning Chen didn’t take Song Xiyun’s words to heart, but on the premise that no other threats were found, it would not make sense to search for them deliberately. It would be better to fold the space first. Technical research understands.
When Ning Chen began to study this technology, he realized how complicated it was. Even if Ning Chen used all his brainpower, he could not get started with this technology right away.
It wasn't until a few days passed that Ning Chen continued to change his entry point into researching this technology that he finally began to find the key to this technology.
“It turns out that the core of the method of creating space folding is to change the gravity at a certain location. If you want to create a more obvious space folding, the gravity required will be even greater...”
Thinking of this, Ning Chen has basically guessed how to artificially create the phenomenon of space-time folding.
In the universe, the densest known object is a black hole.
Although humans have not had direct contact with black holes so far, black holes have been discovered in multiple universes. The objective existence of black holes is an undisputed fact.
If this alien civilization has the ability to artificially create black holes, then they can achieve the result of folding space by changing the curvature of space.
Ning Chen informed Song Xiyun of these thoughts. Song Xiyun was also very shocked after hearing this. This greatly exceeded Song Xiyun's original understanding of this technology.
“It’s really scary. It’s so difficult for us to even discover a naturally existing black hole. This civilization has actually been able to independently create a black hole. But if they have really created a black hole, So why haven't we observed any traces related to black holes? "
"Because this black hole is considered a very small black hole in terms of size, and it can even be described as mini at this distance. Under the premise of being far away, it is not possible to observe information related to this small black hole. This is also a very normal thing. The black holes we can observe now are mainly extremely huge black holes. There is no difference between the two. It’s not on the same scale.”
“I see, but it is very difficult to create a small black hole. It seems that our Blue Star civilization still has a lot of technology. Need to learn.”
"Yes, in the face of various technologies that objectively exist in the universe, our understanding is only a drop in the ocean. The location where we found this space-time folding trace is about tens of light years away from the Blue Star, and the degree of space folding is It's not very obvious. This means that the Blue Star civilization is relatively safe and will not be invaded by this civilization soon..."
As Ning Chen had guessed before, the space folding technology is not It cannot be used at will. If you want to achieve a better space folding effect, you need more resource investment and a more powerful technical level.
With the technical level of the "space civilization" that Ning Chen observed, it can only perform relatively slight space folding. At most, it can reduce the distance between two positions to a certain extent, which is not possible. "Teleportation" effect.
However, due to the hysteresis of electromagnetic wave information transmission, this also means that this happened decades ago. In these decades, has this "space civilization" emerged? The huge technological progress was something that Ning Chen could not predict.
Fortunately, Ning Chen still has relatively ample time to conduct more in-depth research on this technology. With Ning Chen’s trust in his own abilities, since it is something that other alien civilizations can do You can do the same things yourself.
"To reproduce this technology, the first thing you need to do is to artificially create a black hole. In fact, this technology is not as complicated as imagined. At least it only creates a small or even micro black hole, or Something that is completely possible in theory.”
Although according to Blue Star Civilization’s original research on black holes, this seems to be something that is impossible for humans to do, but at the technological level of Blue Star Civilization. After rapid development, many technologies that were originally thought to be impossible have appeared in the world one by one.
Therefore, even if it is an extremely difficult goal like creating a black hole, Ning Chen can still think of many ways to try.
After some analysis, Ning Chen felt that relying on the huge energy of antimatter to create a black hole was the most feasible method.
