Chapter 4 4.2 times the speed of the third universe

This news, Minsk in any way could not hide it so that all humans on the moon did not know about it.

After the initial shock, confusion and anger, Minsk has slowly entered a state of calm, and this phenomenon has not only not made him feel half frightened, but rather a little anticipation and surprise.

But Minsk knew that he could not show any of this emotion by himself, whether it was in a crowded place such as an observatory, a major helium-3 collection base, or only a person who entered the office of the General Command, he needed to bury it deep and put on a sane and shocked appearance.

After all, he is now the supreme power owner of the moon, and he is, and I am afraid he will always be.

After sorting out his thoughts, Minsk was ready to start asking Qin Yi questions about technical issues, but before that, I was afraid that he would have to tell him some facts that he didn't know: "Stationmaster Qin Yi, what I want to tell you next is the top-secret news at the current stage, and then ask you some technical questions, I hope you don't be afraid after hearing it, let alone leak it." ”

Qin Yi saw that he pondered for a while and then suddenly threw out this topic, and his heart was even more frightened, but he still only nodded yes on his face: "I will obey your instructions, Commander-in-Chief." ”

Minsk lit a cigar and began to smoke his cold face in the completely non-smoking astronomical observatory, asking: "Now that we have lost contact with Earth, even the Spirit space station is no longer on our contact list - in other words, now that the Moon has become a closed whole, it is a big premise, you must remember." ”

"What I need to figure out now is how fast the Earth is moving away from the Sun, and where is it going next, according to your assumptions? I need precise numbers and directions! ”

Due to the huge discovery just now, Qin Yi was not so shocked by the "top secret news" that Minsk said, he quickly thought about the question raised by Minsk, and knew that he could not give an accurate answer immediately: "Commander-in-chief, I can't answer this question immediately, this must be tracked and observed for a certain period of time and calculated, and then simulate and draw its new orbit- And all this must be based on the constant force in order to reach the correct conclusion. ”

"That'...... I'll try to try it as much as I can. ”

"Not as much as possible, but before I finish this cigar!" Minsk suddenly began to put pressure on him again.

Qin Yi had no choice but to quickly turn on the "Poseidon" optical brain computer with the best performance of the Stard Astronomical Observatory and start its calculations.

Although it was shocking to see the phenomenon of the Earth escaping with his own eyes just now, as an astronomical scientist's instinct, Qin Yi still subconsciously pressed the tracking data button, so after he opened the "Sea God", he already had the data of the Earth's movement for twelve minutes.

Twelve minutes, not to mention that it is not even a piece of dust on a cosmic scale, is only a flick of a finger in human history, and even in individual groups of organisms whose life length is only measured in days, this is also a very common measure.

But at this moment, after Qin Yi got the data for the past twelve minutes, he was very careful to load it into the software, and after clicking the automatic analysis button, he waited for the preliminary computer analysis results, which made him feel extremely irritable.

"That's it. The target object is currently running at 4.2 times the third cosmic velocity, and the acceleration has been increasing, the acceleration is nonlinear, and the exact time of escaping the Coberie belt cannot be obtained. ”

In less than a minute "Poseidon" gave the answer to the simulation run, it was rough, but at least there was a general direction. Qin Yi told Minsk about this fact in very popular language, and waited anxiously for the other party's instructions.

Of course, even if Minsk is stupid, he is at least a college graduate, and in today's world, when the theory of basic knowledge of the universe has long been included in the compulsory courses of universities, he has already understood Qin Yi's description.

The Earth is not a straight line that immediately flees from the Sun in the opposite direction, that is impossible. Unless God directly drags the earth out alive with a super huge force, the current situation is that the earth begins to escape the solar system at 4.2 times the speed of the third universe, which means that the earth will continue to revolve around the sun, but the orbit will slowly deform, and the distance between perihelion and aphelion will increase, until it completely comes to the edge of the solar system to get rid of the sun's gravitational field, and then will go to the new target area in a so-called straight line.

4.2 times the third cosmic velocity, which means that the Earth's current escape speed is even faster than the first artificial spacecraft to leave the solar system, Pioneer 10!

Pioneer 10 (Pio

F) is a space vehicle launched by NASA on March 2, 1972, its average speed just exceeded the third cosmic velocity, and it took a little more than 14 years from 1972 until October 1986 when it passed the average orbit of Pluto, becoming the first man-made object to fly into a star's orbit.

And now that the Earth is escaping at 4.2 times the third cosmic velocity, even elementary school students can roughly calculate that it will only take about three years for the Earth to cross the average orbit of Pluto! And that's just to assume that the Earth is not affected by further acceleration.

But just now Qin Yi told himself that the acceleration of the earth has been increasing, and it is still nonlinear, which means that the earth is likely to fly out of the solar system completely in three years!

It will take billions of years for a planet with intelligent life to be born, but its upheaval will only take one day!

Minsk finally accepted this fact, frowned, and began to pace back and forth in the observatory, as the first high-ranking person on the moon to learn such shocking news, no one knew what was going on in his head at the moment.

Three-year ...... What can you do in three years on Earth?

As the Earth's orbit changes, perihelion and aphelion become longer, and it can be expected that the average temperature of the Earth will decrease rapidly with the increase of distance from the Sun, and the decrease in the average temperature will only make the environment on the surface of the Earth extremely harsh and unsuitable for human life in a very short time.

Humanity's current technology is able to confront such conditions – Minsk is certainly well aware of this, and the Earth Human Union (EA
