Chapter 18: Planet Digg 114

"Okay, you guys wait a minute, I'll be over right away. X”

After Yu Yifeng hung up the phone, he immediately said goodbye to Xu Yunjin and the others, and then set off for the observatory of the Deep Space.

"How's it going, did you find anything?" As soon as he entered the door, Yu Yifeng asked with a slight gasp.

A large group of astronomers were discussing several photos, and when they saw Yu Yifeng, they immediately gathered around.

"Look at the white spots on the surface of this planet...... We suspect it is...... Nuclear bomb! It's a nuclear bomb! A young astronomer said excitedly.

Yu Yifeng squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the picture in front of him, which was an astronomical photograph of Dig-114, about 6.8 light-years away.

The photos are too blurry, and after many times of magnification, the luminosity is very dim, and the resolution is not high.

From these photos alone, he, an outsider, didn't see anything wrong......

The fact is that even if humanity has become a true interstellar civilization, there is no way to clearly observe terrestrial planets 6 light-years away......

It's not that telescopes can't be made stronger, it's not that they don't have enough manufacturing technology, it's ...... The universe itself has a limit resolution!

On the scale of quantum mechanics, scientists believe that there are virtual particles in the universe. Subsequent physical experiments have also continuously observed and confirmed these particle phenomena.

When light from the distant universe passes through space over long distances, space-time bubbles caused by virtual particles interfere with the light. This interference is also a bottleneck for radio telescopes.

So, there is a limit to the resolution of the universe, and there is also an upper limit to the diameter of a radio telescope. After reaching this limit, no matter how much you adjust the aperture size, you will not be able to see more clearly and farther away.

Unless human beings come up with new theories and develop new observation techniques, they can bypass the limitations of electromagnetic wave observation......

Difficult to observe, this is also a natural protective barrier for low-level civilizations!

"Is there anything wrong with this picture?" Yu Yifeng looked at it for a long time to no avail, and asked with some doubts.

The researcher pointed to a spot in the photograph where there was a white dot of about one or two pixels: "You see, this white dot is obvious anomalous data. ”

"In six months of footage, this white spot appeared a total of three times! Each one lasted about a second or two. ”

"Why a nuclear bomb? Is there any basis for this? Yu Yifeng asked again.

This photo is magnified many times, and the resolution itself is relatively poor, and there seems to be nothing wrong with the appearance of a white dot......

"It's just speculation."

Another middle-aged man's voice came from the Observatory's Professor Thomson: "These pictures were taken while sailing at curvature. You know, in the curvature bubble, all the observed astronomical images have to be restored by computer, and this part of the data is very computationally intensive. ”

"It wasn't until a few days ago that all of this data was processed. The anomalies in these photos are also found and given by the computer......"

"We analyzed it, and there are several possible white points of light in total."

"What is it?" Yu Yifeng asked with interest.

If this white dot is indeed the point of light triggered by a nuclear bomb, then ...... Digger 114 has at least one modern civilization!

Moreover, there is still an internal war!

Nuclear warfare!

This is more interesting, a civilization with a nuclear bomb? Yu Yifeng held his chin and thought.

After all, "Dieger 114" is the next number one target. If its existence is confirmed, people's tactics will need to change.

Professor Thomson said unhurriedly: "The first reason may be the natural exposure of astronomical telescopes...... There are also some rays of light on the surface of our Deep Space spacecraft, perhaps they are interfering with the telescope's work. ”

"Second, it may be that there are some problems with the algorithm of our computer image restoration system, and there are bugs in the processing of some photos. We are also checking this aspect. ”

Yu Yifeng nodded.

"The first two are internal factors of our instruments, and the third possibility is that a nuclear war is indeed breaking out on this planet! Because...... We observed not just once, but 3 times! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This kind of nuclear bomb must be of the higher yield, which is why it has such a strong brightness. ”

Yu Yifeng's brows furrowed tightly. He is thinking about the other side of the problem: the new human civilization has not yet had a very clear diplomatic strategy...... If you encounter a civilization with a high level of technology, what should you do?

It's time to find a time to discuss this.

He subconsciously asked, "Is there anything else, is there any other reason?" Could it be that such a luminosity would have to be produced by a large nuclear bomb? ”

"Yes!"

A young researcher nodded earnestly, "Unless someone is more than 6 light-years away and is shining a highly concentrated laser on our telescope...... It's almost impossible! ”

"Or rather, a super-large ion engine similar to Deep Space has such luminosity. They're not going to test starships, are they? I think the probability is quite low......"

That being said, Yu Yifeng will not give up thinking in this area because of the low probability. Maybe "Digger 114" also gave birth to an interstellar civilization?

The engines of the Deep Space do shine brightly!

He voiced his doubts, and it was always a good mistake to be careful.

Professor Thomson, however, shook his head disapprovingly: "Ion engine? Unlikely. In the footage, such a spot of light lasts only a few seconds and then quickly dims. The ion engine can't just work for a few seconds......"

Several people discussed it again, but nothing came of it.

In the end, Yu Yifeng said helplessly: "In this way, you first eliminate the technical factors, and then closely observe the 'Dige 114 planet', will the same situation occur again......

"Now that there is no curvature foam on the surface of the spacecraft, the telescope should be able to directly observe each other. We're going to stay on this planet for a while...... You are watching closely during this time! ”

In this way, Yu Yifeng left the observatory full of concern, and at the same time, he also thought of more things.

He thinks...... The development of a stronger frigate, the "Titan" class, must be faster!

It is always easier to destroy than to create, and primitive man can paralyze a tank even with trap stones.

The weapons of low-level civilizations also have a certain ability to threaten human beings, that is...... Nuclear bomb!

Nuclear bombs are simple and crude, and mankind has not yet invented a weapon more powerful than it.

Although the new human civilization is an interstellar civilization, its background is too poor, and it is just a mothership!

If Deep Space was hit by a large-yield nuclear bomb in front of it, it would not be able to eat and walk around...... If it was blown up, it would be unimaginable!

Its defense capability is really not good, and it can't eat a trillion-ton four-hydrogen nuclear bomb at all.

Yu Yifeng couldn't help but think of Hei's suggestion: right here, transform the metal planet into a planetary-level spaceship......

Planetary-level spaceships have rough skin and thick flesh, and in the face of ordinary nuclear bombs, they will break a little skin, so it doesn't matter......

But as soon as he thought of that amount of work, Yu Yifeng's scalp was numb, and he immediately gave up the idea.

This planet has a mass of 700 billion tons alone, and Deep Space is only 10 billion tons...... Not an order of magnitude at all, but a difference of 100 million times!

It's not that humans don't want to, it's that they can't do anything about it! r
