Chapter Eighty-Nine: Response

“…… The speed of light of 0.4 times is too fast to be achieved even with controlled nuclear fusion technology, because nuclear fusion can only use about 7% of the mass of the substance at most! ”

"Yes, according to our current theory, nuclear fusion can propel a spacecraft only at one-tenth of the speed of light, and no more than 15% at most!"

"But if they really reach this speed...... = there must be more advanced energy sources, such as antimatter energy, or more efficient curvature engines."

The monitoring and observation room is always the busiest place on the Noah, and a large number of scientists stay here all day long, arguing and discussing. They want to find out what the alien ship is all about. Any bit of information is vital to humans.

"I saw it, I saw it!" An astronomer suddenly shouted, and as he tapped his keyboard quickly, a large number of images flashed on the computer screen.

In the last few minutes of astronomical photos, an extremely blurry black dot finally appeared, if it were not for the infrared rays that had already discovered it, humans might have ignored the past, this black dot is only a few pixels in size, and even the boundary is blurred, but it does not prevent scientists from calculating.

A group of people immediately sat down in front of their computers excitedly, and they simulated and reasoned about several photos from different angles through the simulation screen of Noah's central computer, and they calculated and processed their shape, location, direction of movement, etc., and finally obtained several possible restoration maps.

This is......

What a huge and magnificent space battleship!

It is an oval-shaped sphere with a diameter of about 150-200 km. It's really too big, the diameter of the light is more than 10 times that of Noah, and the volume is more than 1,000 times!

Strangely, the light twisted so strangely on the surface of the ship that humans couldn't estimate its exact size.

"How?" Yu Yifeng also got the news and immediately rushed over. When he saw the simulation on the screen, he was immediately stunned, such a size...... This kind of largeness alone is enough to produce a sense of oppression for human beings, which is unimaginable for human technology.

This spaceship alone, if it had landed on Earth, would have been able to cover 70 New York City skies! It is perfectly capable of exterminating humanity in one day......

No, maybe just a few hours. It is impossible for humanity to go to war with such a civilization, and there is a probability that more than ninety percent of them will surrender directly, as long as these aliens do not carry out exterminating slaughter of humans......

"!" Yu Yifeng secretly cursed in his heart, such a behemoth may really be able to destroy a planet!

They didn't know the size of the other party in advance, and if they knew that they were so perverted, they might not have carried out any disguise plans and intimidation plans. But the radio waves sent out, the water spilled out, all the plans can only be carried out head-on......

Seeing that the other scientists were silent one by one, and seemed to have weakened their confidence a lot, Yu Yifeng couldn't help but say loudly: "This should be the other party's main ship." Only such a huge spaceship can have complete functions and can feed a large number of people......"

"Did you find anything else?"

An astronomer suddenly came back to his senses, pointed to a photograph and said, "Look at this location, maybe there is something really wrong!" ”

Yu Yifeng squinted his eyes and took a closer look, this is an infrared light and heat image, and a large amount of red light appears on the right side of the photo, indicating that there is a large amount of heat energy overflowing in this area. It was these spilled thermal radiation that allowed humans to discover this alien spacecraft!

What does this mean?

Humans haven't received radio waves since they received them a few times, and it's likely that the other side fixed the vulnerability. However, this massive thermal radiation has always existed, that is, it has not been repaired.

This is definitely not an abnormal performance!

"The ship may really be broken!" This was Yu Yifeng's first intuition.

He felt that what Dr. Rimbaud said was probably correct, so why didn't the other party fix it? Lack of manpower, or...... Lack of resources! They hurried to the solar system to repair their ship!

In this way, there is still a high probability that the human camouflage plan will succeed! The opponent's spaceship is broken, do you still have the ability to go to war?

He gripped his palms tightly, so hard that even his nails were embedded deep in the flesh. But he didn't pay any attention, for all his mind was turned to the picture he was observing.

……

It's been a really painful time.

People waited anxiously for another two days, and it was now 10 o'clock in the evening, but all the scientists were discussing it tirelessly.

More than sixteen days have passed since the radio was transmitted, and in another ten hours, the expected time will be reached, when people will see the reaction of the other party to the radio waves.

Is it direct fire? Still is......

If the other side uses the means of striking at the speed of light, as long as people observe the attack screen, their side has already been hit, and there is no time to react. (In fact, even human telescopes can't see the details of the attack at all.)

Excitement, trepidation, apprehension...... There was a mix of emotions, everyone's eyes were red, and a few had not slept for days, but still insisted on seeing the first scene of the radio signal received by the other party.

Of course, Yu Yifeng is also one of them.

He pricked up his ears and heard Dr. Rimbaud yelling in the distance. Rimbaud seems to take an optimistic stance every time: "What are you afraid of? Let me tell you, every interstellar civilization has such a large spaceship...... When we actually step into the stars, we can do it too! ”

"It's a big fart, can they destroy the Noah? I absolutely don't believe it! ”

But it seems that this is indeed the case, Noah's god-like spaceship can be said to be extremely hard, even if the other party fires and the laser can hit, he definitely doesn't believe that Noah will lose a single hair......

It's just that the facilities of the human race will be completely destroyed, and the time will be exposed...... However, since the war has started, are you still afraid that you will not be able to show your stuffing?

In fact, what Rimbaud said makes sense, the development of science and technology is leapfrogging, and human beings can barely imagine what technology will look like in 20 years, but it will be difficult to imagine it in 50 years...... Perhaps, the other party is only one or two hundred years more advanced than humans?

In this way, in the constant quarrels, people's moods became more and more nervous, and whether the universe was a dark forest or not, peace or war, was revealed in a few hours......

Who can not be nervous in this situation? Who can not be afraid?

Until seven o'clock in the morning, the breakfast food had been delivered to the hands of all personnel, and at this time no one was still thinking about eating breakfast, they just swallowed a few bites, and stared intently at the screen.

The minutes ticked by......

"Didi, Didi!" An alarm clock with a countdown suddenly went off, and according to the calculation, the picture of the other party receiving the radio should also be transmitted!

"Why didn't they react? Did you fire the guns? No, we don't seem to have been hit! One of the scientists cried out in frustration.

"Don't worry, you have to give people a little time to react."

Yu Yifeng also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, in fact, he was also panicked to death in his heart.

"They seem to be slowing down?!" An astronomer suddenly pointed to the screen and said, he flicked the computer with trembling hands, and counted it over and over again. "Neither is it right...... I miscalculated. He made a mistake several times and quickly vetoed himself.

In fact, at such a time, with the measurement accuracy of humans, it is difficult to calculate the changing speed of the other party, especially when the speed is extremely high.

However, the human beings were not hit, and the other party did not seem to react, what is going on?

An hour, two hours...... Just when people couldn't wait more and more, there was a "......" sound, and the whole screen suddenly shook.

A radio expert shouted frantically, this time in a truly frenzied way, "Radio waves! It's an airwave! ”
