Chapter 60: Is It Safe?

Normally, with the exception of the curvature engine, the speed limit of information transmission is the speed of light, and the same is true for means of observation.

It is always impossible to observe the whole universe by means of curvature navigation......

"Therefore, any information in the universe is delayed, since everyone's observation speed is the speed of light, this means: you see me at the same time, I also see you, everyone is equal to each other!" Rimbaud slapped the table and shouted, already standing up excitedly.

"There is no way to have a non-necessarily-light-speed strike, because you haven't seen the other party's figure yet, so can it be a light-speed strike? Unless there is some kind of faster-than-light means of observation...... I don't know if it's the technology of L......"

Thinking like this, the sword of Damocles hanging over his head also disappeared, and even Yu Yifeng breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was so chaotic and terrifying just now, and all the dangers were magnified exponentially, but I didn't think of this......

But the crisis is still not resolved, maybe the next moment, the human gravitational wave telescope will find the traces of the other party, and the other party will also discover the human race at the same moment, and then cause a war!

People have to think of something else!

The hearts of the people began to come alive again. They were talking about it, trying to find something more to take advantage of......

It would be too unwilling to run away like this, because people really know the value of Gaia's creatures, and it is impossible to give it to an alien civilization like this!

In just a month's work, it has become more familiar with humans, and people's wariness has slowly been lowered, and many biologists and educators are very fond of this strange and powerful creature.

"Think about it, what more information is there that we have overlooked?" Dr. Rimbaud said excitedly.

As a result, after such a discussion, more useful ideas were really found, and there is no need for human beings to be so afraid!

"Attention, our biggest advantage now is that we know the existence of the other party in advance! However, the other party most likely does not know about our existence......"

"If we know the other party's existence in advance, it's a place we can use!"

"Now let's think from the other person's point of view, that is, empathy...... Suddenly learning of the existence of a high-value Gaia creature, what would you think if you were a civilization commander? ”

Yu Yifeng said without hesitation: "I am shocked, very excited, very excited!" So I can't wait to send a large force to the planet Dieg, desperate to capture this Gaia creature! ...... as soon as possible Grab it! ”

"The period is certainly the maximum speed of the curvature of the voyage, beyond the speed of light...... Is there anything wrong with this? ”

"Yes, it is! This is a normal and civilized behavior logic ......"

At this point, Dr. Rimbaud spat excitedly, and at this time he didn't care about any image.

"But...... As the spacecraft forces approached the star system, I asked you, will the spacecraft slow down? The premise is that you are not aware of the existence of another force......"

Yu Yifeng blinked, his heart suddenly moved, and the answer was: Yes!

Because interstellar navigation is thousands of miles away, faster-than-light flight cannot detect the outside world, which is equivalent to "flying blindfolded". After a while, no one knows how much of the course has been deviated, and it is certain that the speed will be reduced to observe the outside world, and then the course will be corrected.

When humans flew from "GB131" to "Digger", they slowed down many times.

On the other hand, there must be a large number of comets and meteorites within the star's sphere of influence! If you are "blindfolded" and fly faster than light within the influence of the star, the risk is very large, and the spacecraft has a certain probability of colliding with something like a meteorite.

Although in curvature navigation, the spacecraft does not have much kinetic energy. But after the surrounding curvature bubble is forcibly broken, the explosion that occurs is definitely more powerful than a nuclear explosion!

In this way, the enemy spacecraft should reduce its speed below the speed of light at a long distance, correct its course, and avoid a possible planetary impact event.

"Although the probability of this planet hitting is lower than the probability of winning the lottery, who knows? This danger still needs to be avoided, right? ”

"The further you sail into the star system, the greater the probability of an impact, and according to our navigation safety regulations, the Oort Nebula, which is almost 0.6-0.8 light-years away from the star, will slow down."

"Since our safety regulations are like this, then the other party is likely to be the same......"

"The other party is coming directly at us, as long as it moves below the speed of light, after a while, the enemy's ship will also be detected by us!"

Yu Yifeng was stunned, what Lan Bo said was very reasonable!

No matter how impulsive, urgent, and crazy the other party is, it is impossible to ignore the safety regulations of interstellar navigation, is the other party dead? In particular, the other party did not know that humans were also doing things on this planet...... They don't rush like crazy people, do they?

"Professor, is it possible to navigate with curvature and ignore the asteroid ahead?" For safety reasons, Yu Yifeng still habitually consulted an expert.

As a result, the expert immediately shook his head: "Impossible, just like a soap bubble, if something of a large volume invades, it will definitely be broken, and then a huge explosion will be triggered......"

"This is also the most important safety regulation to avoid in curvature navigation!"

Everyone began to get excited, this discovery was so important, and it was very much in line with the logic of a normal civilization!

If you want to run near the star, you have to slow down at a distance for various safety reasons!

As soon as you slow down, you will be discovered by humans!

Of course, due to the limitation of the speed of light, this discovery will be delayed for a long time, if the new human civilization really finds the other party at a distance of 0.8 light years, in fact, because the speed of the other party is also sub-light, the actual situation may already be at the position of 0.4-0.5 light years. When spotted on the other side, a large blue shift can be seen.

But even if the other party also discovered the human race, they immediately used the speed of light to strike......

That wouldn't be of much use either.

These light-speed weapons will take 0.4 years to hit humans!

0.4 years, people have long since run away!

The huge distance is the best survival barrier for human beings!

But soon, Minister of Security Xu Yunjin shook his head and questioned that human beings must not imagine that this kind of security problem should not be too beautiful, but should be as bad as possible.

"Yes, according to the safety regulations for navigation, it does, but it also takes into account the speed of light propagation, and 0.8 light-years away is the most optimistic estimate. Our estimates should be as conservative and harsh as possible! ”

"0.3, if the other side calculates a large number of navigation trajectories in advance, and in this emergency situation, and ignores the safety risk of a meteorite impact, we only find the other side at 0.3 light years...... So what? ”

"0.3 light-years is found, assuming that the opponent is traveling at sub-light speed and can observe the outside world at a speed of 0.6C...... The actual distance is about 0.12 light years, and it takes nearly 44 days to strike at the speed of light, which is too long, and we can still easily escape! An expert made a rough calculation and said without hesitation.

"What if the other party is crazy, risking a lot of danger, and slowing down only 0.1 light-years away from the star? The risk of a meteorite impact at 0.1 light-years is still negligible. ”

"When we found each other, the actual distance was only 0.04 light years......"

This time, the time to answer was noticeably longer, but he still said, "We ...... You can still run away! But there is a certain risk, and it is a big deal to risk using the curvature engine in a place where the curvature of space is large! In 0.04 years, it takes 14.6 days for electromagnetic wave propagation, which is enough! ”

"What if it's within 0.1 light-years?" Xu Yun asked step by step.

“…… The degree of danger depends on the level of caution of the other party! The closer the other side is to the planet, the more dangerous we are. ”

The expert calculated, gritted his teeth and said: "10 days!" Our Deep Space will need to take a huge risk and start the curvature engine directly in a gravitational environment, with a tipping point of 10 days! ”

"What if it came closer!" Xu Yunjin asked nonchalantly.

"Unlikely! Taking a huge risk and flying at the speed of light in the stellar system blindfolded, the other party will die! All crazy! Want to fly headlong into the stars? ”

"I don't think the other side will ever get out of the speed of light in 0.1 light years!" Dr. Rimbaud said loudly as he slapped the table.

At this point, everyone relieved their minds, if this is really the case, the danger is a little far from what people think.

At least until the other party's ship is detected by humans, everyone is safe.

"As long as humans don't detect each other, the other party will never know about the existence of humans?"

Hearing Dr. Rimbaud's reasoning, Yu Yifeng frowned, he felt that this conclusion was strange, and soon, he thought of something else, and this thought made his heart that had just been relieved beat wildly again.

Because it directly overthrows ...... This seems to be a very safe conclusion!

Safe?!
