Chapter 131: Entering Jupiter
There is a good saying: the right person at the right time, in the right way, with the right question, is the springboard to every new discovery. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Timing, methods, problems, and people are all very important factors, and only by organically combining them can we successfully lead to success!
In the observation that lasted for the next few months, Zhou Chen and the others finally figured out the law of the appearance of the "Jupiter" projection.
It appears every 28 days, and each time it appears, it is accompanied by the unfolding of the light curtain for 60 minutes, the projection for 25 minutes, and the complete dissipation of the light curtain for 5 minutes, for a total of 90 minutes.
After figuring out these rules, Zhou Chen began to plan to probe the inside of the projection. Before the expected projection appeared, Poseidon had already been attached not far from the light curtain in advance, and when the light curtain dissipated Jupiter, hundreds of small probes rushed from a distant place, and in the next second when the projection was just presented, they rushed into it at a very fast speed.
In the command hall of the Earth Fleet, the huge screen is now divided into hundreds of small screen blocks, each of which shows the real-time transmission of a probe vehicle.
Three of the screens were particularly large, and they were the three most important probes at the heart of the operation.
Since the projection of Jupiter is almost the same size as the real Jupiter, it is closer to the center point from the poles than from the equator. It has a radius of 66,900 kilometers at its poles, and it needs to reach a central point in 25 minutes, without taking into account evacuation, it needs to reach a speed of at least 44.6 kilometers per second.
This speed was very fast, and after the probe flew into the Jupiter projection, a yellow and blurry picture immediately appeared on the screen, although no valuable images were captured, but everyone in the command hall, including Zhou Chen, breathed a long sigh of relief.
The fact that the detector did not burn up immediately at such high speed indicates that the previous guess was correct, and that it was indeed just a projection.
"Report the relevant parameters!" Zhou Chen's eyes were fixed on the screen, giving orders.
"The detector sensor shows that the surface temperature of the detector is minus 40 degrees Celsius, and the temperature curve has not changed......"
"Poseidon's quantum radar shows that the flight trajectory of each probe is normal, the current speed is 44.6 kilometers per second, and the speed curve has not changed......"
The monitor faithfully reported the flight data of the probe.
Zhou Chen nodded slightly, and gave an order: "Start the pushing engines of the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 probes, accelerate to 50 kilometers per second, and keep the rest of the probes at their original speed!" ”
"Yes!" The monitoring personnel quickly gave instructions to the Poseidon, and soon from the three-dimensional sphere constructed by the Poseidon radar, three red marker points began to accelerate, and the remaining hundreds of probes still maintained their original speed and approached the center point.
Twenty minutes later, the three probes at the front were only 7,500 kilometers away from the center point, and in two and a half minutes, they would arrive at the center point. The remaining hundreds of probes are still 13,000 kilometers away from the central point.
At this time, Zhou Chen gave another order: "Let the remaining detectors split out half and start braking, and the other half keep the original speed and continue to move towards the center point!" ”
Two and a half minutes later, the first three probes to reach the center point shook and vanished from the three-dimensional sphere.
After another two and a half minutes, more than 100 probes that arrived at the center point disappeared from the three-dimensional sphere one after another.
Then the entire Jupiter projection began to contract, and after five minutes the projection completely disappeared, and at the same time, the probes that had braked in the projection area did not enter the center point and did not leave the projection area, so they showed a crash signal in the three-dimensional sphere.
In this way, Zhou Chen and others quickly came to several conclusions:
1. Acceleration or deceleration can be carried out normally in the projection area without external interference!
2. When the projection of Jupiter begins to contract, all the vehicles within the contraction range crash, indicating that the projection contraction stage causes disturbance to the surroundings, accompanied by a high degree of risk!
3. The probe that disappeared from the center point did not report the crash, but disappeared from the quantum radar! It shows that the entangled quantum of quantum radar is decoherent under bare and cannot pass through the center point!
Fourth, the disappearance of more than 100 probes has outlined a hemisphere with a radius of 300 kilometers with the center point as the center of the sphere, and this hemisphere should actually be completed into a sphere, which is the passage to the unknown territory.
"Contact the probes immediately and see if we can make contact with them!" Zhou Chen did not hesitate and immediately gave an order.
If each other can also establish a quantum communication chain, then the follow-up work can be carried out effectively, which is naturally excellent, but if the quantum communication chain cannot be established, it will be troublesome. This is equivalent to losing contact with the probe, and we can no longer know what happened to the probe on the other side!
However, Zhou Chen and the others had already considered this problem before this experiment, so each detector had a relevant treatment plan set inside. If the communication link cannot be established, the probe will record the other end according to the plan, and return to the entrance when the next projection is deployed, and then rush back to the location of the Poseidon at high speed.
Since the situation on the other side is completely unknown, the plans of the hundreds of detectors are different, but in the end, it is the difference of how to detect, how far to detect, how to return, and what speed to return, and I will not repeat the details.
"The quantum communication chain has been successfully established!"
The results reported by the monitoring personnel instantly rendered all plans useless.
This was the best of all the scenarios, and as Poseidon once again established a communication link with the probe, the entire command hall was immediately filled with joy, and everyone communicated with each other, and it was lively for a while.
"Switch the screen on the detector's side!" Zhou Chen smiled, his tone was very relaxed.
In a short time, hundreds of images appeared on the big screen.
It's a very empty place, with a huge star in the center, about 1.4 times the size of the Sun, providing light to the area, and judging by the images returned by the probe, it seems to be the only star in the area!
There is no bright starlight, and there is no dense and prosperous Milky Way, and there are only the number of planetary reflections that are not yet estimated, and the dense planetary reflections indicate that there are many planets in this area.
"Let the probes form a phalanx and turn on the quantum radar, we need to get first-hand information about this area as soon as possible!"
At this time, Zhou Chen was in a good mood, and the current signs showed that this should be a happy land, at least judging from the fact that the planets were so dense, he was very sure that he would find a planet suitable for human habitation here, which was too important for the current Earth Fleet.
More than 100 detectors gathered together and soon formed a simple spherical quantum radar plane, and countless entangled quanta were immediately released.
Eight minutes later, the entangled quantum traveled a distance of 1 astronomical unit, and a three-dimensional sphere was initially built, bringing a total of seven planetary objects into the sphere.
Twenty-four minutes later, the detection range was expanded to a radius of 3 AU, the central star entered the sphere, and thirty-six planetary objects were discovered at the same time.
An hour later, the detection range reached 7.5 astronomical units, and a total of 156 planetary objects were included in the detection range.
Two hours later, the detection range reached 15 astronomical units, and a total of 960 planetary objects were discovered. (To be continued.) )
