Chapter 14 Quantum Faster-than-Light Communication

The cursor representing the unidentified alien fleet was projected onto the stereoscopic image of the solar system, and Alvin and the others were silent as they surrounded the stereoscopic image in the hall.

According to the analysis of observational data, the alien fleet was projected into the gravitational range of the solar system out of thin air.

At this time, the alien fleet was only about a light-year away from Earth, and it had been more than a month since Alvin first discovered the existence of the alien fleet.

Based on his own experience, Alvin judged that the speed of the alien fleet might have been pushed below the speed of light, close to the speed of light.

However, since the alien fleet had completed its acceleration, the starship that had converged its light flame had disappeared from his field of vision, and as time passed, the faint flash of light, which represented the destruction of a starship, had decreased in frequency.

This was a very worrying thing for Alvin, compared to the fact that the time left for humanity was really very short.

How to let people know the results of his observations is the most difficult, after all, he can't say that he has the magical ability to observe alien fleets regardless of the limitations of time and space, which can only make him nailed a madman.

Even if he is the discoverer of the alien fleet, people will think that he is putting on a show and grandstanding!

This situation made Alvin uncomfortable, and it was of great strategic importance to have a grasp of the opponent's real-time dynamics.

But a light year is so close that all the space telescopes have become temporarily blind!

Also, Alvin couldn't use his abilities frequently, and he would fall into a constant state of sleepiness after each brief use.

Even if he relied on his ability, he couldn't violate the laws of physics, and if the alien fleet didn't have an external light source, his vision would only be pitch black and blurry.

The Alien Fleet's starship exterior is supposed to have a stealth system that doesn't reflect any light, and Alvin can only rely on the light flame of the starship when it explodes.

But after a sleepless night of reflection last night, he discovered a very fortunate thing, and this discovery could save all mankind.

"Anos, I'm going to hold the first meeting, the meeting is not allowed to be absent, it's all here in fifteen minutes." Alvin said to Anos, who was standing by his side.

"Sir, are you sure you don't go to the conference room?" Arnos asked.

"Rather than wasting everyone's time on the way to the conference room, I'd rather leave that time to sleep, and turn that conference room into a café for me."

"I see, sir."

Anos turned on the internal communication system and issued a command, and soon the hall was filled with people who had arrived after hearing the news.

Time passed minute by minute, and by the time the clock had just passed ten minutes, all the staff had already assembled.

"Sir, everyone has signed in, and it's time to go." Arnos reminded.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the situation is special, so we don't provide seats for everyone, but we should give our cleaners enough confidence that they will do their job well, you can sit down if necessary, and the lady can ask the gentleman next to her for a coat as a cushion, and if anyone doesn't give it, he will wear ten to work tomorrow."

The tense atmosphere in the hall instantly loosened a little, and there was even a slight laughter.

It was the first time for many people to see the commander-in-chief of the International Astronomical Observatory, and their hearts were instantly relaxed, especially the women who had a better impression of Alwin.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Alwin, and I am currently the chief director of the International Astronomical Observatory, and I am grateful to all of you for working on this island in the Pacific Ocean where birds do not lay eggs." Alvin routinely introduced himself and continued, "Without further ado, the purpose of this meeting is to give everyone a clear idea of the situation. ”

Alvin waved his hand, and the operator understood the operation, and a cursor in the empty universe on the diorama of the solar system in the center of the hall flashed, far away from any planets, and directly connected to the Earth.

A series of carefully calculated data is presented on the stereoscopic image.

"I have to say that we humans are very lucky, the alien fleet appeared directly only about a light year away from the earth, which means that maybe when the alien fleet put a cannon on the bridge of our human nose, we can find their existence, but we discovered their existence in the first time and avoided the possibility of tragedy."

The cursor representing the alien fleet on the stereoscopic image of the hall projected an image taken by Alvin at the Shatha Astronomical Observatory.

In the constantly flickering points of light on the screen, you can vaguely see the behemoths falling apart, and if you can look closely, the scene will definitely be countless times more shocking than an epic blockbuster.

"The alien fleet was already on the verge of collapse after jumping into the gravitational sphere of the solar system by unknown means, and was not even capable of moving, so it had to enter a year-long recuperation phase and move towards Earth at nearly the speed of light when Earth might discover their presence." As he said this, Elwin's eyes were fixed on all the staff members in attendance, "If you have any questions, you can ask them, and I will answer them as much as I can." ”

The crowd raised their right hands, and to Elwin's surprise, he casually pointed to a young scholar.

"Mr. Alwin, I think everyone and I have the same question, that is, how do you know the dynamics of the alien fleet, so far, the image from the telescope is just the light point flickering from the powerful explosion when the alien fleet jumps into the gravitational range of the solar system, and the starship falls apart, how do you know the information that we can only get in nearly a year, have you crossed over?"

Alwyn certainly couldn't say it was the result of his own unknown abilities, a question that had kept Alvin awake all night, but he had come up with a perfect and very lucky one.

"Everyone should know that in recent years, quantum faster-than-light communication technology has made breakthroughs, and in order to test the delay of quantum faster-than-light communication, humans have launched a detector in each of the eight directions of the universe, which is equipped with a quantum faster-than-light communication device."

"Yes, I've read the reports, but what does this have to do with the alien fleet?" The young astronomer asked.

"So we humans are really very lucky, one of the eight probes happens to be very close to the area where the alien fleet is located, and the traces of the alien fleet's voyage in the Oort cloud a month ago were clearly captured and transmitted to a large database."

As Alwyn spoke, the stereoscopic image showed a partial observation of the sub-Oort cloud, and after arranging it chronologically, the trajectory of the alien fleet was revealed, from the time of the beginning of the deceleration and the direction of the acceleration to be revealed.

"This is the database information I retrieved."

"Then we're really lucky!" The young scholar lamented.

Yes, I'm also lucky that Alvin thought he couldn't put a fact in front of everyone, but three coincidences helped him disguise his unreasonable abilities.

It just so happened that the alien fleet was in the dense Oort cloud.

It just so happened that there was a probe that was very close to the target.

It just so happens that it is equipped with the latest technology - quantum faster-than-light communication.

"The key issue now is that it's not enough to know the location of the alien fleet, we need to know more, which can be summed up in two words: proximity and understanding."

Alvin threw out the problem that needs to be solved urgently, which has a significant impact on all the strategic deployments of the earth in the future, Zhao Wei, Liu Li and others are looking at the Astronomical Observation Center, they need to know more about the enemy.

"Now that we know the trajectory of the alien fleet, let's send a space probe to make head-on contact with it." A member of the team commented.

"Our space probes can only accelerate to fifteenths of the speed of light and can't slow down and thrust back, which means that we can't make a very brief contact until the alien fleet is very close to us, which I think is very detrimental to human response." Alvin retorted.

"If you want to get the most detailed information in the shortest time, you can only make a fuss about the quantum superluminal probe, after all, it is the only one that is closest to the alien fleet and can transmit the information back in time, cough ...... cough twice" An older astronomer stood up and gave his opinion, he coughed twice and continued:

"Introduce myself, I am the head of the United Nations Astronomical Observation Center, Mohe, it is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Alwin."

Alvin took the initiative to shake hands with Mo He, although the previous assistant Anos had mentioned that the United Nations had arranged a person in charge, but he had only come here and had not yet met.

In this space, a stereo projection shows a series of data about the detector, from which it is known that the probe's reserve fuel is enough to support the probe to make a change of direction.

"It seems that we can let that probe have a brush with the alien fleet, that probe is only about 10,000 astronomical units away from the alien fleet, after adjusting the direction of travel, it is expected to meet the alien fleet in more than two months, and the detailed data will be entered into the host for detailed calculation after the meeting." Alvin said.

The hall was silent for about ten minutes, and the noise was very soft, indicating that there was nothing better to think about.

Alvin glanced at the time, Lisa would be here today with a cruise ship carrying supplies, he had promised to go back and pick her up, it was time to end the meeting.

"It seems that this plan is the best, I have expected this before, but I have to say that letting the probe contact with the alien fleet also means that we must be prepared to be blind, because it is possible for the alien fleet to destroy our probe, we must be prepared for the worst, and we cannot ask for anyone's mercy and luck!"
