Chapter 339: Where the Heart Wants (4)

"Faster-than-light?"

Through his friend's mention, Huo Gu can be regarded as why Tang Wei suddenly didn't want to say it just now. Want to - free - free - see - end - whole - version please Baidu search -

As the name suggests, it is beyond the speed of light, but this is just a concept, the theory of relativity has shown that the matter carrying information cannot exceed the speed of light, and NASA's current curvature engine theory, the maximum upper speed is also the speed of light, and the speed of light itself is a false proposition.

"That's right, it's faster-than-light, and only those who have achieved faster-than-light speed and been abandoned to a certain corner of the universe can rediscover the probability of rediscovering the solar system from infinitely close to zero to slightly improved."

The drunken Tang Wei replied, under normal circumstances, he would not say such a thing, according to Huo Gu's understanding of him, but now he is drunk, very drunk.

"Doesn't the theory of relativity already state that it is impossible to carry information faster than the speed of light?"

Huo Gu asked, in exchange for a long sigh from Tang Wei.

"Huh...... So don't get into the details...... Hiccup, this is the solution I've come up with after throwing out the basic framework, and if you get stuck with the fact that faster-than-light doesn't exist, then we can't talk about it. ”

"Okay, so let's assume that faster-than-light technology exists, and then what? What to do? You can't use the speed of light, expand like a locust, and then spread the entire universe, right? ”

Huo Gu thought about it and said what he thought was the most likely answer, but Tang Wei stretched out his finger drunkenly and shook it in front of Huo Gu's eyes.

"Isn't it a waste of time to be so troublesome, considering the resistance that may be encountered, such as some alien advanced civilization or something?"

"You can make a machine that will copy itself, but not indefinitely, and only when you come into contact with new star data will you unlock the self-replication program, and put these machines into each of the observed river systems, because it is faster than light, so you can quickly put together a detailed large-scale star map."

"Extraterrestrial advanced civilizations will not be so idle, to bother to clear this kind of detector, which is just a simple observation of the information of celestial bodies in the star system, as long as it insists, does not fight back, does not respond, does not communicate, such a three-no, extraterrestrial advanced civilization will ignore it, after all, the cost of cleaning up is too high, rather than that, it is better to shield the detection of the detector, anyway, it is not a high-precision detection mechanism."

According to Tang Wei's explanation, a familiar thing appeared in Huo Gu's mind, and his face showed a little strange meaning, and he asked tentatively.

"You're not talking about Feng. Neumann probe, right? ”

Tang Wei nodded, and continued to start his conversation, explaining endlessly, explaining again and again, and gesturing in the air with his hands.

"Almost, there won't be a lot of data at the beginning, but as time grows, galaxy data will be obtained geometrically......"

"Of course, this is based on the premise of superluminal speed, below the speed of light, this method is not feasible, because everything in this universe is not static, meteorites can become planets, planets can become stars, planets can become stars, stars will become black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and so on."

"It's the same with the Milky Way, the Andromeda River system next door is merging with our galaxy, and it will take about 4 billion years to complete the merger, and then the galaxy will be unrecognizable, and maybe the solar system will not be on Orion."

Hearing Tang Wei mention the Andromeda River System, Huo Gu also remembered that the two river systems were annexing each other and merging into one, and he couldn't help frowning and asking as if verified.

"So, if the person who was thrown into an unknown corner of the universe wants to find the solar system again in the vast sea of stars, it must be within 4 billion years, otherwise the probability is zero, right?"

"That's right, 4 billion years seems like a long time, but if you can't break through the speed of light, 10 billion years is not enough, even if you reach the speed of light, the travel between river systems will take at least 100,000 years, unless that person happens to be the closest Andromeda river system, otherwise there must be little hope."

"I don't know about other ways, maybe there are, but I just didn't think of it."

Tang Wei said this, with a slight apology in his tone, saying that he didn't have any better way.

Looking at his drunken friend with a drunken face, Huo Gu muttered to himself.

"At least this answer is much more reliable than the 'god' you said last time, as long as the technology can continue to improve, it may be possible one day...... Making faster-than-light a reality. ”

"No, it's going to make this technology a reality."

Huo Gu's eyes flashed with a slight look of unknown meaning.

Nearly a month has passed since that day, and the process of Martian archaeology is in full swing, and Hogu has taken advantage of his foresight to warn the astronauts on Mars in advance of where there are landslides, avoiding several accidents.

This caused many people at the International Astronautical Center to look at Hogu as if he were looking at a monster, and some people approached Hogu several times to ask why he knew about these things.

Huo Gu can be perfunctory, those eyes cast on him are all ignored, a handful of people of age will not care about these virtual things, he still remembers that after the Martian archaeological accident, the International Space Center was immersed in a sad atmosphere, mourning for the dead victims.

As the pioneers of mankind, it is the sorrow of the entire human civilization to reach the end of their lives on Mars, an alien planet far from the earth, and if it can be saved, Hogu will not let these sorrows happen again.

Because of Huogu's role, although the principle is unknown, the effect is there, and every time he takes a shift to Huogu to direct archaeological work, the people on Mars are always very relieved, and so are the people on the ground, which also leads to the fact that whether it is on the earth or on Mars, Huogu's prestige is unconsciously improving.

This is what Huo Gu didn't expect, and he didn't care much about these things when he knew about it afterwards, he still did what he had to do every day, actively collecting genetic maps to record, and remembering the macro picture of the Milky Way, basically going back and forth between the command center and his residence.

Such days continued until the day when the archaeological activity was nearing its end.

On this day, a large and unfamiliar object silently crossed the orbit of Pluto, and approached the Earth straight through the ecliptic plane.

The first to discover the clues was China's Tianhe orbiting satellite in Jupiter's orbit.

The incident soon attracted the attention of the nations of the Earth, and the object was so large that it was tentatively estimated to be one-third the size of the Moon.

After crossing Jupiter's orbit, the various radio channels on Earth received a string of mathematical languages built from binary.

The content of the language is very simple, just one sentence.

[We have come here in search of the supreme will and handed over Huogu, the human race. 】
