Chapter 137: The Secret of Lightspeed Flight

The equipment here was completely different from what Ling Moyu had seen before, these things must be the most important part of the core part of the sphere, what were they used for?

Ling Moyu saw that the space here was also very large, the size of a basketball court, and there was a control unit next to the black box in the middle, which seemed to be a screen.

It would be nice if he could turn on the screen, Ling Moyu thought secretly, maybe it was not powered on, or the switch was not turned on, with the experience of the last time, he put his hands on the screen.

Nothing happens! "Is there anything more stupid than you? I was entering the password just now, do you still need a password when you come in? Hui Tong laughed at Ling Moyu and said.

"I'm just roughly measuring the size of the screen, do you know how to turn it on?" Ling Moyu said embarrassedly.

"Well! It is estimated that there is a lack of energy, and it can be activated by inputting some energy. Hui Tong said.

"Okay, since you have energy, contribute a little, and give it energy input to see if it can be activated." Ling Moyu said.

"What, you..., and try it with your hand on the screen." Huitong said.

"Didn't you just try it? Why try again, you tease me! Ling Moyu said indignantly.

"Before I had time just now, you let go!" Hui Tong said with a wicked smile.

Ling Moyu ignored him and put his hand on the screen again, he could feel the flow of energy, but the screen didn't react at all! It's still black.

"Why, didn't you say that injecting energy activates the screen?" Ling Moyu asked rhetorically.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, this machine needs a huge amount of energy, and I don't have enough energy to wake it up!" Hui Tong was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, wasting so much of my energy in vain! Do you know how much energy it takes? Ling Moyu said.

"It's hard to say, maybe at least 100,000 tons of explosives equivalent energy." Huitong said.

"So much, where can you get so much energy now! Forget it and look elsewhere. Ling Moyu said.

At the bottom of the screen there was a rectangular drawer-like device, Ling Moyu reached out to touch it, and there was something similar to a book inside.

He took it out and looked at it, a rectangular with four corners and arcs, which was quite textured in his hand, not like a stone or paper or something like that, this thing was very similar to an IPAD.

He rubbed the thing in his hand, and suddenly "IPAD" was in his hand, as if a folded box had been opened, and a dazzling array of lights and symbols flew from it, as well as some scenes.

"What is this? You've energized him again! Ling Moyu asked.

"yes, I'd like to see if this thing needs some energy too." Hui Tong said.

"It's a logbook!" Ling Moyu said as he looked at the picture flying in front of him.

"That's right! You look at these images as if you're operating a spaceship, and there's a lot of stuff like data. Hui Tong said.

"There are also some words and languages, which are very similar to cuneiform, but I can't read them, can you recognize them." Ling Moyu asked Hui Tong.

"This diary is not complete, it seems to have only recorded the content for a short period of time, and it was recorded in an emergency." Hui Tong said.

"Roughly speaking, they are going to perform a very important mission, unfortunately they encounter an accident or malfunction during the voyage, it may also be an attack, anyway, the important equipment is damaged, can not fly to the destination, can only make a forced landing on the earth. This important device is the one in front of us, and the function of this seems to be to make the object lose its mass! Hui Tong continued.

"Let the object lose its mass!" Ling Moyu was shocked when he heard this, wasn't this exactly what he was thinking about.

"Did he say anything about how to make an object lose its mass?" Ling Moyu then asked.

"No, just said, after this key equipment was damaged, they couldn't continue to fly, and they couldn't contact the home planet, they stumbled upon the earth and made a forced landing on the earth." Hui Tong said.

"If it is true that an object can lose its mass, as he says, then it is possible to approach or reach the speed of light in a vacuum." Ling Moyu said.

"Yes, according to the theory of relativity, the faster the object becomes more massive, and when the object approaches the speed of light, the mass will be infinite, and the force that pushes the object will be greater, and then no thrust will allow it to produce acceleration, and of course when the mass is large to a certain extent, it will have no acceleration for a long time." Ling Moyu continued.

"With the current technology, it is good to be able to reach up to one hundredth of the speed of light, and if the object can lose its mass, then there is no such problem, as long as the force of propulsion is large enough or lasts long enough, it becomes possible for the object to approach the speed of light." Ling Moyu said.

"What will happen to the world when an object loses its mass? Apples won't fall to the ground, we're all going to fly into space. Hui Tong said.

"How can it be, in fact, you don't need to let the object lose mass completely, as long as it doesn't increase its mass as the speed increases, and even the mass does not increase so quickly." Ling Moyu said.

"As long as the acceleration of the increase in mass is an order of magnitude smaller than the increase in the acceleration of velocity, it is possible to achieve a flight close to the speed of light, and there are many ideas for achieving the speed of light, and this is one of them." Ling Moyu said.

"Are you talking about tongue twisters? No wonder this spaceship can cross the sea of stars to Earth, it turns out that it can fly at the speed of light! So what is its energy and power? Hui Tong said.

"It should be neutrino energy, and the ship needs to input neutrino energy to enter the core module, and it also needs neutrino energy to open the course log, so the power of the flight must also come from neutrino energy." Ling Moyu said.

"yes, neutrinos are very tiny, and when they burst out of the interatomic space, they are very close to the speed of light, and it must be fine to use them for propulsion and reach more than 90% of the speed of light." Hui Tong also said.

"And neutrino energy can be transmitted over long distances, so that you don't need to carry a lot of fuel, as long as you can replenish it at any time, during the flight, according to the flight plan, emit neutrino energy in a predetermined direction, and the spacecraft can accept it on the way, or capture neutrinos released from the star, and self-replenish it." Ling Moyu said.

"So when did they end up on Earth, where did they end up, and are we their descendants?" Ling Moyu asked Hui Tong.

"I didn't say this, and I can't tell the time of their arrival from the logs, but judging from the appearance of this place, they should have only arrived before humans entered civilization, and many of the ruins here are prehistoric, but they will not be earlier than the Neolithic Age." Hui Tong said.
