Chapter 165: Black Hole Card Trebuchet
"At 3.2 light-years from Pangea's current position, there is a binary star system consisting of a white dwarf and a black hole......" A three-dimensional map of the sky appeared directly in front of the conference room.
White dwarfs are mediocre, about 1.1 times the mass of the Sun. The black hole is about 4.6 times the mass of the sun, which is not very large.
But this black hole is not an ordinary, stationary Schwarzschild black hole, it is rotating at nearly the speed of light, pulling through the space around it. That is, a veritable "Kerr black hole" with angular momentum!
Black holes in the vast starry sky are the final destination of many massive stars, and they are not particularly rare.
But its nature is still full of mystery for scientists. What exactly is inside the black hole, whether it is a passage to another universe, people still know very little. Any probe instrument that comes close to a black hole will turn into powder.
Conventional rules of physics will also fail in the internal testing of the event boundaries of black holes.
Black hole detection is not a difficult task, and it is very noticeable in gravitational-wave telescopes and hard X-ray modulation telescopes.
The original Pangu had no intention of escaping from there at all.
"According to the Tiekui civilization, near this Kerr black hole, there is an interstellar outpost that has been abandoned for a long time...... They left it behind 10,000 years ago. ”
“…… In fact, it is an ordinary terrestrial planet, it is revolving around the black hole in the distance, the orbit is about an ellipse, and the eccentricity of the orbit is about ......"
"There are some abandoned space labs on the planet. Oh...... The mass of this planet is equivalent to that of Venus, and it has a half-finished planetary engine that can barely start. ”
"In this sensitive and complex gravitational system, with only a small change in orbit, the planet will be pulled in by the huge gravitational pull of the binary star!" An astronomer stood up, his face slightly ruddy, and explained the whole plan.
"Plus, this black hole is a Kerr black hole that can make use of the so-called Penrose mechanism...... When a large amount of matter is ejected, the energy of the energy layer can be absorbed, and the angular momentum of the black hole can be exchanged for the gravitational acceleration of the remainder......"
"According to our current theory, after the Kerr black hole swallows most of the planet, the other half will be frantically ejected by the energy fed back by the black hole due to the loss of mass. At this time, these stars will have a very high velocity, which can easily break free from the gravitational pull of the black hole. ”
"This kind of speed and kinetic energy is a ...... that ordinary planetary engines can't give."
"After our design, these large quantities of thrown materials, as long as they are aligned in the right direction, can be made once...... Planetary impact event! "There's even a simple animation on the screen that details the whole mechanism of action.
The unbelievable whole process made some of the participants in the venue stunned.
What's going on, why...... Do black holes also accelerate matter?!
And accelerate a planet? Kidding, right?
But the scientists have written the entire calculation process on the screen, and some laymen can only hold back the surprise in their hearts and relearn new knowledge.
"Planetary impact?"
"Sounds beautiful and powerful."
"But the battle stars of the LLP Silicon-based Alliance are not stupid, the kinetic energy accelerates, no matter how fast it is, it can't be compared to the warp speed. There's no way they're going to let a planet hit their planet, right? ”
"Yes, their gravitational-wave telescopes can easily spot black holes and white dwarfs. They're going to slow down and pay attention. With a slight change of orbit, the impact is impossible! ”
A series of doubts appeared in the room, some of them were technical, and some of them were questioning the whole grand strategy: even if it really succeeds, it may not be able to hit it.
"Also, is the ejected material accurate enough? With such a huge star mass, once it is thrown out by a black hole, we have no way to control its direction at all, and there is only one chance. ”
Amidst all kinds of doubts, I saw a man wearing glasses, stood up and said, "I have another question, can our Pangu's curvature engine operate around a black hole?" If Pangu can't start the curvature engine in a gravitational environment, it will also be swallowed by a black hole. ”
"So it's important to keep a safe distance...... At least 15 astronomical units, right? At such a long distance, how many pieces does the projectile have to fly to hit the target? ”
"Yes, your concerns are correct. However, according to our own calculations, Pangea will stop at 5 AU near the black hole. At this distance, our curvature engine can still be started......" In the face of these doubts, Yu Yifeng drew a schematic diagram and explained.
Because of the limitations of gravitational wave broadcasting, the Tiekui civilization only gave a rough introduction to the entire scheme, and most of the content was calculated by the new humans themselves. After all, the new humans only believe in themselves, but now through calculations, they have discovered the feasibility of it.
"5 astronomical units, not too close to the binary star system, theoretically safe."
"As for the matter thrown by the black hole, how does it hit the enemy's battle star...... There's a detailed plan. It's quite complicated, and it's about strategic silence and the psychological level of the enemy......"
To facilitate explanation, Yu Yifeng drew several balls on the screen: the origin in the middle is a black hole, and a white dot nearby is a white dwarf. There is also a small point that is the outpost of the Tiekui civilization. This interstellar outpost, which is now gravitationally balanced, will be attracted as soon as it moves, and then dragged into it.
Yu Yifeng explained: "Don't forget, in the state of faster light, there is no way to observe the outside world!" The enemy's mode of action is to sail faster than light for a month or two, then stop and observe for a while, confirm the direction of Pangu's next move, and then sail ......"
"Yes, it does. After so many years of pursuit, it has always been like this......" An expert next to him nodded in agreement.
"That's what we take advantage of!" Yu Yifeng suddenly raised his voice: "If you want to seduce the enemy and be fooled, you need our Pangu number...... Pay a price! ”
"The Pangu needs to abandon the original winding escape route and change to a straight line. In the process of sailing in a straight line, the distance between us and the enemy, because of the speed difference, will be constantly shortened and narrowed......"
"If the distance between the two sides is only the last 0.5 light-years, or even only 0.2 light-years, and the enemy has clearly observed it, Pangu suddenly stopped for maintenance! Guess what will happen to the other party? ”
Hearing Yu Yifeng's words, there was silence in the conference room, and everyone was thinking about what they would do if they were the enemy's commander.
"Yes, the Pangu hasn't had major maintenance for seven or eight years. There is a possibility of stopping. ”
"There is a high probability that the other party will sprint with all their might, wanting to catch the Pangu as soon as possible! Because the whole route seems to be very safe, although there is a black hole next to it, but the distance is still relatively far away, and it will not cause any obstacles. ”
"What we need to catch is such a time difference."
"The other party could never have imagined that in the course of these two months of faster-than-light, a planet would suddenly run to the route."
"And this time...... Rumble! ”
There was silence again in the room, and this time, even a pin could be heard on the ground......
Immediately afterwards, a large number of discussions broke out, and this plan logically seems to be feasible!
It's definitely a big deal!
