Chapter 461: The Big Bang
The use of dark matter bombs while a spacecraft is traveling at a curvature is an extremely dangerous thing to do. Because when the dark matter bomb explodes, the entire surface arc of the film in the curvature state will be destroyed, and the space will be distorted and oscillated, which will not have much impact on the spacecraft in an ordinary flight attitude as long as the distance is far enough and the speed is fast enough. But for a ship flying in curvature, it is a fatal problem.
Before, the Pioneer spacecraft encountered the White Eyebrow fleet in normal space, and this plan has not been adopted precisely because of this, but now the situation is different, the special terrain of the red and dark nebula has greatly weakened the advantage of the Pioneer spacecraft in curvature flight speed, on the contrary, the impact of the other party is not large, under the strength of the other, with the current speed of the Pioneer spacecraft, it is impossible to escape, according to the distance between the two sides, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be overtaken.
Once they catch up, they face only two possibilities, one is to be captured, and the other is to be destroyed. No matter which outcome it is, this is what Su Yichen and the others decided they are unwilling to face, and at this time, it is better to fight to the death in order to have a chance of survival.
After deciding to use the dark matter bomb, Su Yichen and Luo Yan immediately began to prepare. Anthony was also on hand to help. Of course Raymond. Anthony can't do too important work, his help is just a hand, but for the current situation, it is good to have one more manpower, seeing that the fleet behind him is rapidly approaching, there is not much time left for them.
It's not a simple task to use this method, and it doesn't mean that the Vanguard spacecraft can drop dark matter bombs directly into space. If they did so, it would be a dead end, and if they wanted to survive and stop the pursuing fleet behind them, then dropping and detonating dark matter bombs in this way was a highly technical task.
Now, Luo Yan is nervously in the process of calculating. Su Yichen assisted in manipulating the spacecraft at the same time, and after a full hour, when the pursuers behind him narrowed the distance between the two sides, Luo Yan finally came up with a final plan.
"What is the success rate?" Su Yichen asked anxiously.
"60 percent or less." Luo Yan replied bitterly that the destructiveness of the dark matter bomb dropped was too strong, once the curvature was destroyed by oscillation. Then the Pioneer spacecraft is facing disintegration. This is actually the same reason as when they used the energy of the stars to get rid of the pursuers, but the risk is a little greater than last time.
After hearing Luo Yan say this success rate, Su Yichen knew very well in his heart that the success rate that Luo Yan was referring to was actually lower, even only reaching 50%. In other words, the probability of success is half against half, with sea water on one side, flame on the other, and heaven on the other. Hell on one side. No one knows what the half they will face will be, and no one can guarantee that the half of the success will be in their own hands.
"Ready!"
"Understood!"
Su Yichen hesitated slightly, and quickly made a decision. The current situation did not allow them to have much time to think, and as the fleet behind them drew closer, they did not have so much time. Moreover, once the other party gets closer, then this success rate will continue to decline, and Su Yichen and his wife understand this truth.
The three people on the bridge have already changed into spacesuits. For safety, they shackled themselves firmly to their chairs, and the dropping and manipulation of dark matter bombs would be carried out by the brain. When it was ready, Su Yichen gave the order to drop the dark matter bomb without hesitation.
The lower engine room of the Pioneer spacecraft in the curvature state was opened, and three dark matter bombs were dropped at the same time, and when the dark matter bombs were dropped, the three bombs first flew synchronously with the flight direction of the Pioneer spacecraft in the curvature channel for a few seconds, and then they began to disperse in three directions. Rapidly thrown towards the inverted triangle space of the curvature channel.
The reason for the use of three dark matter bombs is the result of careful calculations. Although a dark matter bomb can complete the mission, the problem is that the fleet pursuing behind them is a powerful fleet, and the power of a dark matter bomb can bring trauma to the opponent. But it still can't solve the problem completely. If you want to completely block the other side, or even destroy this normal space, and create an airspace that prohibits curvature traffic, then the dropping of three dark matter bombs is necessary.
The three dark matter bombs are ejected in an inverted triangle arrangement behind the curvature channel, and then detonated, causing a chain reaction of matter that will completely destroy the spatial state of the airspace in the area. In this way, a blockade zone can be created, in which dark matter and ordinary matter in the universe will collide and react with energy, and when this situation is not calmed down, this space becomes a real no-fly zone. Not to mention flying with curvature, even if you can't use a normal flight state, the only thing you can do is to turn around immediately, escape from this airspace as far as possible, and wait for a period of time before this airspace can stabilize again before you can continue sailing.
Of course, this has a significant effect and a lot of risk. This solution is a double-edged sword, it can hurt others as well as itself. Su Yichen stared at the numbers in front of the console, which represented the distance and explosion time of the dark matter bomb. When the set data reached a critical point, the three dark matter bombs had exploded suddenly in the critical state of the curvature channel space.
First, three extremely dazzling lights suddenly lit up from the location of the bomb, but instead of extending outward normally, the light first brightened violently, and then all the light began to shrink inward.
The explosion of a dark matter bomb is a completely different way of exploding than a normal bomb, and it is even different from the explosion of a star in the universe. The way it explodes is a special kind of detonation.
People often say that explosion, literally interpreting explosion is bursting, bursting. And fried also has this meaning, and the combination of the two words forms this noun. However, the detonation of the dark matter bomb is different, its detonation is not from the inside out, with energy eruption as a way, on the contrary, it is a way from the outside in, so it is called a detonation.
This kind of collapse can be similar to the phenomenon with some theories of astrophysics. Just like white, red, or blue dwarfs in the universe, they collapse inwards during their formation, and the mass at their center reaches a tremendous degree. However, the evolution of celestial bodies is a long process, and the entire process from white dwarfs to red dwarfs will take hundreds of millions or even billions of years. However, the explosion of the dark matter bomb was formed in a very short time, which is destined to be huge.
Collapse is not the result. It was just the beginning, when it exploded, countless materials and energies from all directions continued to pour towards the center of the bomb, and these formed a huge amount of energy, which desperately began to squeeze towards the center point, and the speed of this squeezing was extremely fast and extremely terrifying. In just a split second, the entire curvature channel began to disintegrate, the film of curvature could not be maintained, and the curvature quickly collapsed. And that's not all. When the curvature collapsed, the normal cosmic space also reacted greatly, with the three dark matter bombs as the center, the light had completely disappeared, and were replaced by three extremely dark black spots, which made people think of the most dangerous black hole in the universe almost immediately.
That's right, according to astrophysics theory, a black hole is a mass so massive that even light can't escape. And now these three black hole-like beings are like that. With them at the center, the surrounding space is constantly bursting. All kinds of energy, matter, and even light are squeezed towards the center together.
"Alert! Alert! The curvature is extremely unstable, the curvature is extremely unstable! ”
On the Pioneer spaceship, the alarm of the brain echoed in the bridge, Su Yichen, Luo Yan, and Raymond. Anthony only felt like he was on the rough sea. And they were only in a small boat that could capsize at any moment.
The forces of nature are irresistible, and no matter how strong this boat may be, in the furious sea, its fate is in God's hands.
The explosion time and distance of the dark matter bomb are precisely calculated, when the intelligent brain system automatically initiates the explosion. Everything is left to fate. The sturdy Pioneer spacecraft had gone through such a long journey without any damage, but in the current situation, they only felt that the whole ship was creaking, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
The curvature engine is still working, but the curvature film is constantly lost due to the detonation of the dark matter bomb, fortunately, the calculation of the detonation is very precise, and the Vanguard spacecraft is still flying at curvature, but this flight attitude can be lost anytime and anywhere.
Su Yichen knew that once the curvature was destroyed, the Vanguard spacecraft would be forced to throw out of the curvature state, and then the next thing to face was the disintegration of the ship's hull, and then it was affected by the aftermath of the dark matter bomb. At that time, not to mention the Pioneer spacecraft, including these people, will no longer exist in the universe, and everything will be reverted to the most primitive matter and returned to the universe.
"Alert! Alert! Standby engine start, standby engine start! ”
The alarm of the brain still echoed, and the spare curvature engine of the Pioneer spacecraft began to start, because the main engine began to have problems, and if the spacecraft did not start the spare curvature engine to increase the energy output, then the entire ship would be finished.
"Yichen ......."
Luo Yan called out her husband's name softly, she tried to reach out to her husband, Su Yichen did the same, her eyes looked at her wife who was close at hand, and she raised her hand vigorously to shake her hand.
This is a normal maneuver that would be easy to do, but now that the gravity system of the Vanguard spacecraft has failed, it is very difficult for them to make a normal and easy action when the automatic gravity system loses its effect. Now, the three of them were pressed tightly against the chair by a strong force of gravity, and if it weren't for the protection of the spacesuit, their flesh would have been crushed by this force. But even so, it would take a lot of effort to raise their hands to make a movement, or to hold the other person's hand, although their fingers were very close, but this distance was only a dozen centimeters, and almost all their strength was exhausted.
Finally, Su Yichen, who held hands together and looked a little pale, felt the warmth from his wife's palm through the gloves of the spacesuit, and the same was true for Luo Yan, she smiled slightly, at this time they no longer had any fear in their hearts, whether they succeeded or not, as long as they were together, this was the greatest happiness and satisfaction for the two of them.
Ramon. Anthony saw everything from the sidelines, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. At this time, he seemed to think of his youth, and thought of the high-spirited era of the past. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed, everything familiar has long been lost, and he has been away from his hometown for nearly 500 years. But no matter how far away from home, those things in the depths of memory will never be erased. At this moment, Raymond. Anthony seemed to see him in the village on Earth, his faithful old butler, his children who had not been in touch for a long time, and more importantly, he thought of his wife, who had long since died.
"My dear, you've been in my heart for so many years......." A tear crept in Raymond. The corners of Anthony's eyes slipped, he had always thought that he was a completely calm and profit-only person, but at this moment he knew that there was also softness in the deepest part of his heart.
"Standby engine start-up successful! Standby engine start-up successful! ”
The voice of the intelligent brain machine echoed again, and the Pioneer spacecraft was still undulating like a boat in a stormy sea. Will it succeed or will it fail? Everyone didn't know, including Su Yichen and his wife. Because this is just the beginning, the true power of the dark matter bomb is still to come, when its collapse enters a certain level, the explosion will be transformed into an explosion, and at that time, the real test will come.
The transition of a dark matter bomb from detonation to explosion is a terrifying process that can be described aptly, like the Big Bang.
Physicists know that the universe was originally a singularity, a very small singularity, but a very large matter of matter. Its smallness can be said to be so small that it does not exist, and its substance is so large that it is unimaginably large. When this singularity explodes, countless matter and energy spread in all directions from the center of the singularity, and these things are the basis for the various celestial bodies in the universe, including cosmic dust.
With the explosion, the universe was born, according to the observation and calculation of physicists, the universe explosion has not ended, the whole universe is still in the process of exploding, the universe is expanding, it is constantly extending. When a dark matter bomb turns into an explosion, it is very similar to the process of the Big Bang, although its scale and overall time are much shorter, but even so, it is an extremely powerful process.
The three black dots that were no longer visible to the naked eye began to transform after the continuous squeezing and energy absorption process, and the explosion of the dark matter bomb began to convert into an explosion, and for a while, three bright spots countless times brighter than the sun lit up from the darkness, and the explosion produced .......
