Chapter 45: The Hidden Black Hole
The galaxy in front of you is less than 0.3 light-years away, which is a very close distance.
The ship must slow down at this point, or it will rush into the galaxy at too fast speed, and the stellar gravity will tear the ship apart.
Su Meng operated on the virtual projection control interface with his hands, quickly set the deceleration process of the spacecraft, and then pressed the confirmation button.
It was obvious that the spaceship, which had no gravity, suddenly began to slow down in reverse.
The gravitational force of deceleration and acceleration is not inherently different except for the opposite.
In the acceleration and deceleration of the spacecraft again and again, Su Meng's perception of the rules of gravity is also getting deeper and deeper.
However, such a little gravity will naturally not have any effect on Su Meng.
She began to focus on five planets located within the target galaxy.
Four gas planets, one red, one blue, and two white.
To be honest, the white gas planet, Su Meng is really the first time to see it.
It stands to reason that the temperature above the gaseous planet should be extremely high, the color should be shifted to the red direction, the main components are hydrogen and helium, and the blue gaseous planet belongs to another composition, the interior is water, ammonia, methane, but the white gaseous planet is absolutely abnormal.
Su Meng checked the spectrum's analysis of the two white gas planets, and saw the elemental composition that surprised her.
The main components of these two white gaseous planets turned out to be nitrogen and oxygen.
Su Meng felt as if she had seen a ghost, a gaseous planet composed of nitrogen and oxygen, which must be a joke.
But soon, Su Meng found that he was not mistaken, the composition of these two gaseous planets is indeed nitrogen, and oxygen is the main component.
Su Meng looked at the gaseous planet in front of him, and after mental analysis, he quickly came to a conclusion.
It's been there to be at least three supernova explosions!
Yes, unless there have been more than three supernova explosions here, it is unlikely that there will be a gaseous planet composed of nitrogen and oxygen, which is composed of gases later in the elemental sequence.
This made Su Meng uneasy, because if there had been three supernova explosions here, excluding the factor of external interference, this galaxy would be extremely abnormal.
The quality is missing.
If three supernova explosions can occur, then the mass of this galaxy is really terrible, and there must be a black hole here to meet the possibility of three supernova explosions.
Su Meng had to re-compare the orbits of the stars in this galaxy.
Soon, Su Meng discovered the clue, she found that the orbit of this star was ten times faster than theoretical.
It rotates around the center of the Milky Way ten times faster than theoretically, meaning that it is at least a hundred times more massive than itself.
Su Meng was only observing the star itself before, and did not pay too much attention to the orbit that is difficult to calculate, because the orbit is often calculated in hundreds of millions of years. On shorter time scales, this kind of orbital measurement becomes extremely difficult.
The results came out, and Su Meng also came to his own conclusion, this star system is not only one star, but in addition to this one star, there are two black holes.
Two black holes that exist symmetrically with this star, using it as a fulcrum, reach mass balance.
Su Meng quickly simulated the possible location of these two black holes, because they must exist symmetrically, so Su Meng could not discover the existence of these two black holes at a long distance. Therefore, the location of the simulated black hole determined by Su Meng is a fan-shaped region, and in that region, two black holes may be distributed anywhere.
Su Meng definitely didn't want to plunge headlong into the black hole, the range of those two fan-shaped regions covered most of the outer galaxies, and the distance from the star was 0.07 light-years to 0.13 light-years.
Su Meng estimated that if he turned on the full power deceleration, he would stop at about 0.15 light-years away from that star.
Su Meng's mood at the moment was very lucky, glad that she had discovered the existence of two invisible black holes here earlier, and if it was two months late, she would be in great danger.
The flaw of the faster-than-light theory is that when point A travels at 51% of the speed of light to point B, and point C also travels at 51% of the speed of light from the opposite direction to point B, then the relative speed of point AB should be 102% of the speed of light, which is a logical loophole that Su Meng cannot understand.
At this moment, Su Meng's full power deceleration is actually equivalent to re-acceleration.
She flies towards the galaxy, which is equivalent to the galaxy flying towards her.
The standard of the speed of light always tends towards a more massive celestial body, so when the star and the Milky Way are in a completely opposite state in Su Meng's relative system, Su Meng's speed of light tends to the Milky Way.
Su Meng slowed down the spacecraft at full power, and eight of the twelve main ion engines were overloaded, and the temperature of the hull rose by more than a hundred degrees.
Finally, a month later, Su Meng stopped at a distance of 0.15 light-years from the star.
Su Meng looked at the quiet star system behind her, but her heart was apprehensive and afraid.
This month is the month she is most frightened, Su Meng has not yet been able to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole at this stage, once the relative speed of her and the black hole is less than the speed of light and enters the strong gravitational range of the black hole, and the angle of entry is not so ideal, then she has no possibility of escaping.
This month, Su Meng asked the main computer of the spacecraft to collect more gravitational models and speculative data of this galaxy, and the range of the two black holes has also been more accurately estimated, located in the region from 0.08 to 0.13 light years from the star, but the specific location is difficult to guess, there are only a dozen regions with a greater probability, but it is useless, because the black hole may be anywhere.
The two dead and silent black holes that are completely invisible are like fierce ghosts in the darkness, which makes Su Meng extremely frightened.
The mass of these two black holes is fifty times that of the stars of this galaxy, which can only be regarded as medium-sized black holes, not as large as the central black hole of the river system, their true size is unknown, but the strong gravitational range is at least 30,000 kilometers, and once Su Meng enters the range of 50,000 kilometers from the black hole, the huge gravitational force will make Su Meng unable to escape, because at that time, the acceleration given by Su Meng to the spacecraft will not be as large as the acceleration given by the gravitational force of the black hole, and Su Meng will inevitably fall into the black hole.
Because Su Meng couldn't know the existence of the black hole and the location of the black hole in advance, once she entered the black hole range at a certain speed, she would face great danger.
Her initial velocity may help her escape from the black hole, but it may also push her into the black hole faster.
When you really get to that point, it can only be a matter of luck.
It was only at this moment that Su Meng understood what black holes exist in the universe.
Black holes are like invisible mines, and whoever steps into them will die.
Those giant black holes are okay, if they are some small black holes, they can't be seen at all, and when they are discovered, it is too late to hide.
Only then did Su Meng realize that the real dangers in the universe are not those that can be seen, but those that are invisible, invisible, and they don't know how to die.
