Chapter 63: Magnetic Field Exploration

"If the direct jump option is overturned, and the other option, which was rejected at the time of the initial vote, chooses to continue to search for allies, then the Hope will continue to maintain its inertial speed on its path as it does now, until it reaches its destination naturally in almost three hundred years. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but I don't want to choose either of these two options, if I can, I want to make some compromises between the two. ”

"Is it a compromise improvement? Tell me what you think. "Richter, who is well aware that the re-voting of the whole crew is the trend of the times and the desire of the people, convened today's meeting is to listen to the opinions of his subordinates at the request of the captain and other decision-making crews, and then to write and improve the voting options for the next vote.

Now, therefore, when Ping An says that she thinks that the two original plans can be compromised and improved, Richter is eager to hear her opinion in order to discern whether her ideas have reference and reference value.

"My personal superficial view is that if we want to choose a compromise that can quickly reach our final destination, the sixth planet of the Cullen star system, and search for allies as far as possible on the next unknown route, then we should change the search method we have used for the past few hundred years and move away from relying on special magnetic fields to use the traditional signal search mode."

"For the past few hundred years, we have used a magnetic field signal search model that can be used by both adventitious insects and spaceships. Just as the adventitious insects can sense the special magnetic field generated by the converted matter in the process of generating electricity and find us, we who can also search for this special magnetic field can also rely on this method to search for the indeterminate insects and other spaceships. ”

"As long as the electrical energy stored in the body is used to steer, accelerate or decelerate, and change the original state of motion in which it is located, the corresponding special magnetic field will be released, and the range that we detect the adventitious worm that can be explored is a sphere formed by taking the center of Hope as the center of the sphere and the distance of fifteen days of the track as the radius of the current inertial speed of Hope."

"Within the confines of this sphere, as long as any adventitious worm emits a special magnetic field, it will be immediately detected by us. In the same way, by searching for the same magnetic field signal, taking the weakest one of the four spaceships that lost contact more than 500 years ago as the calculation base, then as soon as it enters, we can immediately lock its position by changing the exploration radius from a 15-day sailing distance to a three-month sailing distance. ”

"It stands to reason that using this search mode, the stronger the magnetic field, the larger the exploration radius, is very convenient, fast and effective for us to find adventitious insects and allies. But in fact, the real results are not satisfactory. ”

"All the spaceships that jumped to coordinates 2-8 at the beginning have never completely lost contact with each other, so the magnetic field exploration method actually did not come in handy in the process of the ship's rendezvous. Among the seven spaceships that were lost at the beginning, there is only one that has been really searched through magnetic field exploration. ”

"Due to the failure of the 3D coordinate positioning system, after completing the jump, not only did it deviate greatly from the original jump target, but also completely did not know where it was The first spaceship, it took more than 100 years just to repair the 3D coordinate positioning system and confirm its coordinate position by comparing various celestial bodies around it."

"After figuring out where we are after a hundred years, we didn't dare to make a risky space jump, but chose to use inertial navigation to return directly to the first spacecraft on the way, and the reason why we were able to get in touch with us was actually completely unrelated to the magnetic field exploration method we adopted."

"Unlike traditional communication signals, which can be transmitted in a circular shape, faster-than-light communication signals that can only be transmitted in a radial shape like a laser in a certain direction are completely useless when the first spacecraft is not located in the course and does not know where the other friendly forces are."

"It took hundreds of years to finally return to the channel, but the first spaceship that had been left far behind by the Hope, which had sailed to the front, had generated a special magnetic field that had completely exceeded the spherical exploration range of the Hope, if it had not been for the maximum power, a communication signal was sent to each end of the channel, and the Hope at that time happened to be very lucky not to leave the range of the communication signal, then I believe that we still cannot meet them smoothly today."

"Due to the failure of the faster-than-light communication signal transmitter, the third spacecraft, which had to use the traditional signal transmission mode for external communication, lost more than eighty percent of the conversion material in the process of being attacked by adventitious insects several times, and the remaining two percent could not function normally."

"Therefore, when the third spacecraft chose to deviate from the course to exploit resources, with the intention of using traditional energy sources to make the converted matter work again, it did not detect its presence by means of a special magnetic field search, but did not finally bring back only me, the sole survivor, when it received a traditional contact signal."

"Aside from the first and third spaceships that didn't come in handy at all, just the second spacecraft, when the magnetic field of the second spacecraft was explored, it was in fact already shattered and disintegrated under the attack of the adventitious insects."

"Therefore, although it is true that Hope will be able to detect the second spacecraft many days before it receives its traditional contact signal, if you judge from the perspective of the number of survivors rescued, the results of the special magnetic field search mode in the search and rescue of friendly forces are undoubtedly very unsuccessful."

"So in my opinion, it's time for us to abandon this approach and choose something else and search for the other four spacecraft that might still exist."

Sitting on Heian's right hand side, Aoba listened carefully to what she said here, and only felt that her current words were as fresh and interesting as the words she said to him in the auditorium of the military academy yesterday, "It is not your obligation to respond to other people's expectations".

Turning his head slightly to look at Heian standing beside him, Aoba was very aware that his interest in her was getting stronger day by day.
