Chapter 375: Forming an Expeditionary Force
"Cygnus X-1! You're going to explore that famous black hole! ”
The previous commander-in-chief of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance immediately reflected and was really taken aback!
Cygnus X-1 is the first black hole discovered and is the longest-lasting source of powerful X-rays in the sky. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is located at right ascension, declination +35°12′05.775", apparent magnitude (v) 8.95. It is a high-quality X-ray binary star system consisting of a supergiant star and a compact star.
Among them, supergiant stars have about 20-40 times the mass of the Sun, and compact stars have 8.7 times the mass of the Sun. Since the maximum mass of neutron stars does not exceed 3 times the mass of the Sun, the dense star in it was finally thought by scientists to be a black hole.
"However, Cygnus X-1 is 4,500 light-years away from the Sunrise Galaxy!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please think carefully, maybe we can send someone else......"
Only then did everyone realize that if the legendary leader left this time, it would probably be nearly 1,000 years.
Yuan Haochen had made up his mind, he waved his hand, interrupted the other people's inquiries, and then said eloquently.
"Because I'm a scientist, I can't stop exploring!"
"This is a path that the Creator civilization has walked, and the Dark Energy Civilization has also said that the direction that the Creator has pointed out to us is right!"
"The message left by the Creator in the labyrinth of the four-dimensional space once said that the ultimate source of energy in the universe is the black hole, especially the black hole with sufficient energy. Supermassive black holes can always be powerful beacons in distant space, and a huge gravitational field can allow mass and energy to be converted. The dream of black hole technology civilization is to create large black holes, and use the energy of black holes to guide energy production, and eventually form a huge group of sub-black holes as a continuous source of energy for the entire civilized world. ”
"The remnants left by the Creator civilization on planet Gaia show that they did not stay in the Sunrise system for long. Perhaps, in search of a huge black hole energy source to support the vast civilized world, or for other reasons, they finally chose to continue in the direction of Cygnus X-1 (which may be one of the reasons why Genesis 8 lost contact with the Creator civilization). ”
Yuan Haochen continued to speak solemnly, and the top leaders of the two human civilizations listened attentively.
"Human civilization is very fortunate that after obtaining the scientific and technological inheritance of the Creator civilization, our scientific and technological strength has achieved a huge leap in several realities in the past. However, we must clearly understand that even if we are only within the confines of the Milky Way, we are still very weak compared to other advanced galactic civilizations. ”
"Human beings living in the present may have gradually forgotten the experiences of human civilization two centuries ago. However, for me, an old man, those painful lessons and bloody pictures are still vividly in my mind, like a fish in my throat! ”
"Our current understanding of black holes is quite limited. Although we can create small black holes, we are still far from realizing our lofty vision of truly controlling huge black holes. ”
"Nowadays, my scientific research has reached a bottleneck, in order to make a breakthrough as soon as possible, in order to make human civilization run faster in the course of development, I decided to follow in the footsteps of the Creator civilization in the past and go to Cygnus X-1!!"
As soon as Yuan Haochen finished speaking, the room fell silent, and everyone had already deeply felt the determination and will of the legendary leader.
"Commander-in-chief, when are you going to go, and what do we need to do for you?" Everyone asked with emotion.
Yuan Haochen looked around at everyone and smiled slightly: "As I said earlier, I have a task to hand over to you!" ”
"Please instruct!" Everyone hurriedly said.
"I'm going to form an expeditionary force!!" Yuan Haochen said.
"Expeditionary Force!?"
"Cygnus X-1 is about 4,500 light-years away from the Sunrise Galaxy, and even at our current theoretical maximum speed of 10 times the speed of light, a round trip would take nearly a thousand years. This is definitely the most distant journey in the history of human civilization! Yuan Haochen said solemnly.
A thousand years is a long time for a human being with a lifespan of 200 years, and a powerful fleet has emerged in everyone's minds, which will span several generations of history and reach the distant sea of stars!
"Please, commander-in-chief, tell us what we should do."
The leaders of human civilization felt the significance of this expedition.
"First of all, I need to build a powerful space fleet! This fleet must be both efficient and sustainable! Yuan Haochen made a straightforward request, "Secondly, the entire fleet must recruit at least 1 million scientific volunteers, and all volunteers must clearly understand that maybe their descendants can return to Planet Gaia, but they are destined not to return to their homeland!" ”
"Got it! Commander-in-Chief. ”
"Three years of preparation!" Yuan Haochen added leisurely.
"Yes! Resolutely complete the mission! ”
......
After finishing their conversation with the legendary leader, the group returned to the ground plaza. The streamlined aircraft slowly rose into the sky, then leaped out of the beautiful island, paddled across the sparkling waves of the lake, and flew towards the capital of human civilization.
Hara turned around and returned to a super laboratory located in the underground space of the island.
"Vali! What was the result of the final calibration of the experimental data? ”
The super laboratory was empty, but Yuan Haochen did look like he was talking to someone.
"It turned out perfect, my boss!" A slightly magnetic voice rang out.
In the next moment, a flash of light suddenly jumped out of the empty laboratory, and the flashes gradually converged, and a virtual image of a human figure appeared in the air.
It turns out that it is not a human who answers the question, but an artificial intelligence system.
"I said, you have to work harder, we will set off in three years, and if you can't complete the work on time, you will be officially fired by me!" Yuan Haochen said.
"You can be cruel, I just found a few words in the database, exploitation, oppression, and all kinds of evil capitalists." AI WALL-E replied.
"Good, you've learned to be sarcastic." Yuan Haochen opened the computer simulation system to check the results of the experiment, and said, "Then have you searched for the words landlord and tenant?" In other words, these words are all centuries old, and the evil capitalists and landlords have long been buried in the loess mound of history. ”
"Well, I must admit, it's true that I'm not smart enough, but I'm at least hardworking. You know, a diligent and tireless research assistant is not easy to find. ”
AI Wali muttered and grumbled.
"Yes, it looks like we're going to succeed soon!"
Yuan Haochen didn't continue to talk nonsense with Vali, and he quickly consulted all the experimental correction data.
"Isn't it, this new technology will soon be ready to arm our spaceships!" AI Wal-E echoed.
"Do another simulation experiment according to the latest inspection data!" Yuan Haochen commanded.
"I'll do what the boss tells me to do!"
As soon as the voice of the artificial intelligence WALL-E fell, the phantom that floated in the air disappeared.
Immediately, with a buzzing sound, a transparent curtain wall at the front of the Super Lab slowly rises, and finally, the curtain wall is recessed into the ceiling, completely enclosing the area, but the inside is clearly visible.
There was another buzzing sound, and the ground platform gradually floated, and a shiny piece of metal hung from the top of a very complex-looking device.
"Ready! Just wait for the boss to give the order. WALL-E's voice rang out in the lab.
"Hold on! You're nagging. Yuan Haochen ordered.
"A boss is a boss!"
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
There was a flickering sound of electricity flashing in the laboratory.
Before the sound was over, all of a sudden, the shiny piece of metal that had been hanging from the complex had mysteriously vanished.
In this regard, Yuan Haochen and Wali were unmoved, as if this scene was expected by them.
Then, a virtual display screen appeared directly in front of Yuan Chen, he stretched out his right hand, and fiddled in the air a few times, and the screen showed the metal material depicted with the gravitational detector.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Vali's voice became a little obscene.
"What kind of information did you learn that can make a simple artificial intelligence gradually become a rogue?"
Yuan Haochen was quite speechless and put on his goggles.
The next moment, a high-energy laser beam shot out from the top of the laboratory, bombarding the vanished piece of metal with incredible precision.
The laser beam lasted for 30 seconds, but the transparent piece of metal did not melt or explode.
"Change the high-energy particle beam attack!" Yuan Haochen ordered.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! ”
"Hooligans!!"
PS: It's another Friday with no news.
There is a temporary task tonight, and there is only one shift, so please be considerate. I wish you all a great New Year's holiday.
