Chapter 693: Halo
[The spacecraft has broken through the theoretical boundary of 16 billion light-years and has extended all the way to 46 billion light-years away!] 】
After listening to General Banban's description, General Volcano Ball said in amazement.
The spaceship of the Creator civilization can successfully break through 16 billion light years, which was in his imagination. After all, the Creator civilization is a great civilization with such a long history, not to mention that he traveled a long distance of 11.822 billion light-years to outer space with the silicon-based robot race in just 628 years of short (relative) interstellar travel.
However, after breaking through 16 billion light-years, the spaceship of the Creator civilization continued to extend to a distance of 46 billion light-years away, which is really beyond everyone's imagination!
What is beyond the edge of the cosmic horizon at 16 billion light-years?
It was an undetectable space, a place where even the first rays of the Big Bang had never reached!
Absolute nothingness, absolute vacuum!
There is no interstellar matter, quarks, protons, neutrons, atoms, molecules, none of that.
There is another form of space-time, where even the dark energy and dark matter hidden in the void of the universe no longer exist.
Yuan Haochen and General Volcano originally thought that the horizon of the universe meant that there was a point, or a line, and a surface, and if they passed through it, they would not be able to see anything, and they would no longer have anything to do with the universe, and they would no longer receive any signals, and even the basic physical laws that originally existed in the universe might not continue to be true.
However, now General Banban says that the Creator civilization has continued to explore the distance of 46 billion light-years away, and still has not found the answer.
"How can the fleet of the main civilization continue to fly 46 billion light-years away?" Yuan Haochen asked suspiciously, "Breaking through the edge of the horizon of the universe, in a world of nothingness, how can the spaceship obtain energy and supplies?" It's hard to survive, not to mention the terrifying energy consumption of building a super space tunnel. ”
[The questions you raised are all very practical and difficult. General Banban doesn't seem to intend to answer Yuan Haochen's series of questions, [Since you have chosen to go to the border battlefield, everything you want to know will eventually know. 】
"Thank you very much for your advice." Yuan Haochen willingly stopped asking.
[Then, you can return to the base and prepare for each other.] 】
General Banban gave the order to end the talks. Yuan Chen, Volcano Ball General, and Ice Breaker left the Blue Super Giant with the miniature fleet and returned to the base where the silicon-based robot fleet was stationed.
……
Halo, the name of the quasar on which the Odembra hyper-telecommunication center is based.
(Halo, taken from QQ Book City Book Friends: Fuhrerofkosmos, quot; m. )
Yuan thought that the name halo should be very appropriate, because the energy of quasars is often incomparably huge, and its center is a supermassive black hole that violently devours surrounding interstellar matter. Although these giant black holes do not emit light on their own, due to their strong gravitational field, the surrounding matter will release huge energy in a similar way of "frictional heat" in the process of rapidly falling towards the black hole, so the edge of the black hole event horizon is endless darkness, but outside it is presented as an extremely dazzling giant halo.
The halo includes light, radio waves, and X-rays, all of which make quasars the brightest objects in the universe.
Quasars are a special class of celestial bodies that, while resembling stars, are not pure stars.
Although the halo of quasars is much smaller than that of galaxies, the energy she releases is more than 10 million times that of galaxies, and the high luminosity and strong radio power make it easier for Yuan Haochen to observe them than any other star.
Even though Hara is still 1,200 light-years away from the core of the quasar halo, she is the brightest object in the eyes of people living in the Odembula Supertelecommunication Center.
"The quasar halo is so great that it is a ...... that stands out even when compared to many quasars in outer space."
On this day, Hara's spaceship floated quietly in the dark cosmic space, and he himself quietly stared at the direction of the quasar's halo with his naked eye.
"12.2 billion times the mass of the sun! How did she grow to such a terrifying size? ”
The fleets of the silicon-based robot race have been arranged in batches to save the alliance's 109th starfleet military logistics base for renovation and upgrading.
Because the transformation of the body structure of the silicon-based robot is a technical task, and the number of units in the entire fleet has reached more than 50 million, this transformation process will take some time.
Therefore, Yuan Haochen and Volcano Sphere still have plenty of leisure to learn about the style and story of the quasar halo.
According to the research of the Creator civilization, the reason why Halo can grow into a super quasar is because it was born as a galaxy with a super-fast galaxy with a galactic nucleus.
It was about 10.451 billion years ago that she caught up with another galaxy with a galactic nucleus in her high-speed motion. Because the speed difference between the two was not far behind, and the galactic nuclei collided and met, the two sides began a play of devouring each other, and finally a larger galaxy was born, which is now known as the quasar halo.
However, despite its large halo, it is not the largest quasar in the universe we live in.
In the starry sky in the other direction, Yuan Haochen can still vaguely see a "super-large quasar group" billions of light-years away with his eyesight far beyond ordinary humans.
It is the largest superstellar structure in the entire universe, which is made up of a series of supermassive giant black holes.
At its widest point, it is already more than 4 billion light-years in diameter. Far more than what people know about cosmology. This reality tells us that the universe is by no means as homogeneous as imagined, and that there are astonishingly large celestial structures even in outer space with a relatively low density of matter.
Of course, Yuan Haochen still didn't know that such a situation was actually the result of a long time and effort between the Creator Civilization and the entire Salvation Alliance.
"It's that super-large quasar swarm, and that's where the core forces that save the Alliance and the Creator civilization are located......"
Yuan Haochen knew that he had finally pinpointed the world where the Creator Civilization was located.
Ever since the discovery of the Genesis Project spaceship left behind by the Creator civilization on Mars, he has always dreamed of finding and seeing the great civilization that created life on Earth.
"Although it is hard to find thousands of waters, the sand is blown away and the gold is reached."
Yuan Haochen deeply understands that for small human beings, this great goal cannot be achieved with strength and patience.
Physics taught him a hard lesson early on: man's will must be decisively limited by the cosmic environment.
But Yuan Haochen has always cherished this lofty goal, and unswervingly pursued it, a feat that he pursued all his life.
In the past thousands of years, adversity has always been uninterrupted, but life has to strike!
For Yuan Haochen, there is no secret to realizing this dream, if there are two: the first is to persevere to the end, because only by living and moving forward, there will be a glimmer of hope; The second is that when he wants to give up, go back and look at the first secret, stick to the end, and never give up.
