Early the next morning, Yuan left Mount Maonaki and set off to return to the Pacific base of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As soon as he returned to the base, he made a beeline for the office of the director of the Institute of Astrophysics......

"Dean, the extraterrestrial civilization project team has confirmed the discovery of the target planet Centaur Alpha Star Aa. The planet is about 125% the volume of the Earth, 1.1 times the density of the Earth, and is also a rocky planet ......"

Hara made a detailed report to Frank about the situation of Centaur Alpha Star Aa.

"You've done a great job!"

Frank praised that although new planets are confirmed every year, the discovery of Centaur Alpha Aa is of extraordinary significance.

Because, this is the closest planet to Earth outside the solar system!

"If we find the first one, we will be sure to follow the vine, and then find the second and third ones!" Yuan Haochen said confidently.

"Very well, hurry up, I'm waiting for your good news." Frank was in a good mood.

"One more thing, I need the Dean's help." Yuan Haochen said.

"Oh? Let's hear it. Frank asked curiously.

"We want to launch a miniature space telescope powered by a laser sail to Centaur Alpha Aa. If we use the powerful laser emitter on the Source of Creation as an accelerated light source, it is possible for us to accelerate it to close to the speed of light. ”

"A bold and creative idea!"

After listening to Yuan Haochen's introduction, Frank's obsidian-like pupils lit up instantly, as if a lot of information was circulating rapidly in his mind.

"You're trying to get me to apply for this miniature space telescope powered by laser sails?" Frank quickly guessed Hara's intentions.

"Dean, your eyes are as wise as a torch!"

Yuan said with a smile that he knew in his heart that the entire project would cost at least $500 million from the manufacture of the laser-sail-powered miniature space telescope to its successful launch.

"There are a few more questions." Frank asked, "How big is this space telescope?" How do I fix communication issues? What kind of laser sail can withstand such high energy laser irradiation? How do I control the flight line? ”

"Although it is called miniature, the space telescope must not be too small, otherwise the optical limit cannot be broken, let alone the task of photographing and observing. For communication problems, we can refer to the communication method of the Genesis 8 artificial intelligence with its home planet. Yuan Haochen introduced to Frank word by word, and he had already thought about these questions many times on the way back.

"Well, what else?"

"There is a big gap between the earth's civilization and the Creator's technological civilization. We have collected the material sample analysis report on the [Source of Creation] before, and I believe you have also read it. The Creator's civilized world should have mastered femtometer-level material technology, and even had the strength to directly construct materials with specific functions from atoms or molecules, so the artificial black hole dynamical system can withstand such a powerful laser. This is still beyond the reach of the earth's civilization. ”

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Haochen continued: "If we can't reach the material technology level of the alien civilization in a short period of time, we have to try to transform the existing materials. As for how to control the flight path, we can use the energy of sunlight to continuously fine-tune the flight path when necessary. ”

It's like a sailboat on the sea, the sailor can control the direction by adjusting the angle of the sail, and the sunlight is like the wind, although it is weak, but it is better to be constant.

After a long time, Dean Frank nodded and replied, "So, you've thought through all the major technical issues. ”

"Yes, it's still all theoretical, but it's very feasible!"

"Okay, you go back and prepare a detailed scientific report, and I will communicate this project with the base management as soon as possible." Frank said with satisfaction.

......

Bidding farewell to Dean Frank, Yuan Haochen walked straight to the super laboratory where the [Source of Creation] was placed in the core area, and he wanted to learn more about the laser emitter in the artificial black hole dynamical system.

The construction of the Lasersail miniature space telescope is an urgent and important matter at the moment.

Because time is not forgiving, only the sooner the laser sail miniature space telescope is launched, the sooner you can see the desired results.

At this time, Angelina and several other members of the project team were waiting for him in the dome space of the [Source of Creation].

Angelina is an ordinary woman but very wise.

Her eyes are large, deep, and bright.

Although her face is not pretty, these eyes often give her a stronger attraction than beauty.

Yuan Haochen walked into the dome space, turned around and came to the area in the lower space where the artificial black hole power system device was placed.

Angelina has her back to Yuan Chen, and is working with several other project team members to conduct a structural study on a component of the artificial black hole dynamical system.

Her hair was draped over her shoulders, illuminated by the dazzling rays of light from the device, like the sun's rays drifting in the wind.

Yuan Haochen didn't disturb their work, and walked over silently, thinking: "Scientific research looks bright and passionate on the outside, but behind the work of every scientist is endlessly tedious, and it is estimated that they have to repeat it hundreds or thousands of times a day with mechanical research work like this." ”

"Team Leader!"

A young project team member discovered the arrival of Hara Chen.

"Hello team leader!" The others also turned around and said hello.

"Hello everyone, you guys have worked hard!" Yuan Haochen responded.

"Is there any progress in the research?"

"It's still the same." Angelina, with her hair disheveled, replied softly.

It can be seen that no substantial research progress has been made, and she is also very anxious.

"It doesn't matter, scientific research doesn't happen overnight. As long as you stick to it, you will definitely reap the rewards. Yuan Haochen said with relief.

In fact, the basic principle of the dynamical system of artificial black holes is not profound.

The so-called artificial black hole is not a black hole formed by the collapse of a star, but a theoretical singularity created by the use of an incomparably powerful laser.

The difficulty of this project, or the gap between the earthly civilization and the technological civilization of the Creator, lies in how to make this set of theories into reality.

Angelina and the others, as well as other scientists at the base, had already discovered that in order to produce such a powerful laser, the entire device would produce violent energy fluctuations, and no conductive material on Earth could withstand such violent energy fluctuations.

In these extraterrestrial technological devices, there is an energy transmission technology that is very different from the products of Earth technology.

The Creator's extraterrestrial civilization utilizes a special energy tube technique to conduct electric current or other forms of energy. These special energy ducts resemble the body's vascular system, with some being as thin as capillaries and others resembling human arteries.

"The gap between the industrial strength and material technology between the two civilizations is too great." "We couldn't find and manufacture a conductive material that could withstand such a strong flow of energy, and even the latest tungsten alloy wire (tungsten has a high resistivity and makes sense in combination with superconducting technology) can't withstand three seconds."
