Chapter 68: A Particle of Light (2)
The room was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the floor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It is very likely that the fleet of the earth civilization will not be completely destroyed with the destruction of the galaxy, but their fleet will definitely not survive, and the surviving spaceships will also suffer great damage, at this time, the fleet hidden in the star coefficient light years away will be captured at the speed of light, and the chance of the earth civilization being successfully captured will be more than 95%."
The Science Archon continued, but was soon interrupted.
"Wait, I think I know a lot about our civilization, and our civilization is really strong...... But is destroying a galaxy in an instant beyond the capabilities of our civilization? ”
"Destroy a galaxy...... The energy output of a large fleet of ships supports the operation of star engines, disrupting the thermonuclear fusion of stars, causing nova explosions or helium flashes...... But we don't have a fleet of that magnitude, and the energy output required is too great, and it will be a long process, which cannot be completed in an instant. ”
"Or is there some kind of new strategic weapon?"
The consuls began to discuss, and the Führer, who had not spoken, coughed lightly, and another file was sent to the consuls' terminals.
The Archon of Science nodded to the Führer.
"Next, it's up to me to introduce the milestones of our civilization."
The Archons listened to the Science Archon as they flipped through the archives.
"Destroying a galaxy in an instant, in fact, is not so difficult, you don't think too high-end technical direction, what you see in the archives, is a strong interaction core with a diameter of one nanometer, this one-nanometer neutron star material is fixed with 10 protons inside, the whole has a positive charge of 10e, and the outside is a multi-layered neutron star material shell, because the shell atoms are fixed, the overall temperature is absolutely zero, we named it [light particles], It is a strategic weapon that can destroy a galaxy in an instant. ”
The room fell completely silent, and it was a long time before someone asked questions.
"Are you kidding? Something one nanometer in diameter...... Even if it is a strong interaction material, one nanometer is less than one-ten-thousandth of a hair, and such a small thing may not be able to cause any damage if it penetrates an earthling, how can it be used to destroy galaxies? Or a moment? ”
Most of the consuls were skeptical of this, but since it was something that was presented at such a meeting, it was naturally unlikely that it was just a joke of the consuls of science.
The Science Archon shook his head and said.
"The target of this [light particle] bombardment is not a certain earthling or spaceship, its target is the star of the galaxy where the earth's civilization is located, as long as we can destroy the stable structure of the star in an instant, causing a nova explosion or solar helium flash, it is equivalent to destroying a galaxy in an instant."
"To answer my question, what can something with a diameter of one nanometer do? And from the point of view of technical content, in addition to the multi-layer neutron star shell is our current high-end material technology, the internal structure of this so-called light particle really can't see anything special, it can neither be fused nor annihilated, where to get the power that can destroy the star? ”
Some of the consuls got a little impatient and knocked on the table to ask questions.
The Archon of Science glanced at him, and there was not a hint of emotion in his tone.
"It is true that [light particles] themselves do not have any power, but we can give it power, in the superaccelerator to accelerate the speed of light particles to infinitely close to the speed of light, due to the domination of the relativistic effect, when the object is infinitely close to the speed of light under conventional conditions, the relativistic mass of the object will begin to increase, theoretically there is no limit to this increase, as long as it can be kept close to the speed of light, it can even make the mass of the accelerating object tend to infinity."
The Archon of Science coughed lightly and continued.
"When the speed of the light particle is close to the speed of light to a value, it will have a planetary mass, and with it the planetary gravitational pull, if the light particle hits the star at this speed, it is equivalent to the classical mechanics calculation that a planet hits the star at nearly the speed of light."
The conference room fell completely silent.
"Even without taking into account relativistic mass changes, does a planet at near-light speed have the power to destroy a star?"
The scientific archon's question silenced the crowd completely, and after the calm, the crowd began to whisper, but soon, another consul asked.
"Your thoughts, Archon of Science, are interesting, but have you overlooked a question? Do we have the ability to accelerate an object to a planetary mass due to relativistic effects? Our largest circumsolar supergiant accelerator can't accelerate to this speed, and all that accelerates there is protons or proton beams, and a nanometer is incomparably tiny in the macroscopic, but also incomparably large in the microscopic...... We can't even accelerate a proton to this speed, so how can we accelerate a particle of light with a mass far greater than a proton to this speed? ”
"I just roughly calculated the energy output rate required, which is 300 times the total energy output rate of our current civilization, that is to say, if there are 299 more of us, put all the heavy element fusion reactors of the 300 kara civilization into this light particle acceleration process, maybe you can reach the speed you want."
Another consul asked, and the scientific consul nodded, affirming the value of the question.
"Yes, the source of energy is a problem, and our largest current circumferential particle accelerator can't reach that speed. It's true that we don't have that kind of energy output...... But there is one thing, have you forgotten, the sun itself is a natural nuclear fusion reactor, we can't achieve such an energy output, the sun can. ”
Hearing the scientific archon's speech, one of the archons' countenances began to change.
"What do you mean...... Dyson spheres? ”
"Yes, the work of building a Dyson sphere for the Sun has long been carried out in the coronal layer, and the sunspots reported some time ago and the stellar winds that have suddenly dropped in frequency recently have been brought about by this work."
"What are you kidding? Are you going to make the new kara never shine in the sun? Führer, may I ask you for your consent to such an experiment?! ”
A certain consul could not calm down, and the Führer, who had not spoken again, nodded, which made the consul even more excited.
"Führer? Although we are no longer parliamentary and I have no right to interfere with your decisions, have you forgotten how our home planet Kara was destroyed? Dyson spheres must not appear! It will completely upset the balance of a galaxy! We can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past! ”
The Führer has not yet replied, said the scientific archon.
"As for this question, the Dyson sphere we built in the parent galaxy before is incomplete, and we expect it to become an eternal source of energy, so there is no restraint on the material energy harvesting of the star, which causes the instability of the star's inner core, but this time the Dyson sphere is not built as an infinite energy source, all we need is to borrow the energy output of the star in the acceleration process of less than one-sixth of a carat hour, the impact is negligible, and the Dyson sphere will not work at other timesIn that state, it is just equivalent to putting on a transparent cloak for the sun, which has no effect on the sun itself, and can also solve the problem of frequent stellar winds in the solar system in the near future. ”
"But you can't guarantee it! It's a gamble, we've only had one experience building a Dyson sphere, and we don't know if it's going to be anything else dangerous to the stars! ”
"We have done our calculations to confirm that our conclusions are correct, and as for the small negligible misfortune that really befalls us, we have complete faster-than-light travel technology, and it will be easy for us to find a new home."
"I was born in the solar system! I love this place, she is my hometown and I will not allow her to be destroyed! ”
"Please put away your sensibilities, if we can't succeed in capturing Earth's civilization, our civilization will be threatened at any time."
"That's enough."
The Führer began to speak, and the quarrel between the Archon of Science and the other Archons came to a standstill, and the Führer glanced at the crowd and said slowly.
"The feasibility of this plan has been recognized by [Kara 7] and signed by me, and if there are really follow-up problems, I will also take responsibility."
After speaking, the Führer looked at the scientific archon, and slowly said word by word.
"Let me confirm with you again, can I confirm the safety of this Dyson ball?"
“99.98%。”
"If the remaining 0.02% appears, you're guilty of being uncivilized."
"I'll erase that 0.02%."
The Science Archon's tone was still unwavering, but there was a convincing determination.
The room fell silent, except for the Führer and the Archon of Science to look at each other.
The Führer retracted his gaze, swept over the crowd present, and said.
"The plan has been adopted, let's continue to implement it, if there is a real crisis, it will be stopped immediately, the exploration of stable star systems outside the solar system is progressing very well, and we will not stay in only one galaxy in the future."
The absence of the consul to speak again was a tacit acquiescence to this conclusion.
The Archon of Science put away the picture next to him and said calmly.
"The construction of the Dyson sphere is in the advanced stage, and the first test strike of [Light Particles] will begin soon, targeting Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 light-years away, and I believe you will soon see its power."
"I'll look forward to it."
The Führer said lightly.
