Chapter 10 The ...... Embarking on the Voyage
The light faded, the darkness descended, and the starry sky traveled far away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, there is no need for him to say the rest of the words, because everyone has seen it......
When the star on the screen was suddenly violently compressed by that huge force, its nuclear reaction could no longer stop this compression! As the vortex of flames gradually expands on the surface of the planet, the star is like a leaky balloon, deflating at a clearly visible speed......
Perhaps because of the collapse caused by external forces, the star did not have a nova explosion that ejected matter at the last moment like other stars, but directly spun rapidly and contracted into a cloud of darkness after just a few tens of seconds, a mass of darkness that distorted the starlight behind it into a ring.
"No, it can't be ......" there was a look of despair in the eyes of the people, everyone here knew what the spherical darkness meant, "Black Hole ......"
Now, do you know the primordial black hole?
They are small black holes born under ultra-high temperature and high pressure in the very early universe, because they are formed by external forces rather than their own gravitational collapse, so their masses can be smaller than the Chandrasekhar limit, but since the universe has expanded and cooled, there is almost no such huge external force that can squeeze out black holes.
However, the fact that external force extrusion alone cannot do it does not mean that a part of the external force combined with the mass of a huge star itself cannot do this, and there is a living example in front of us.
Even if the star burns out of its own fuel, it will form a white dwarf instead of a black hole. So although it was not born at the beginning of the universe, it was essentially a primordial black hole.
"Are they crazy?" The people in the hall were talking, "Without the jump engine, they themselves would not have escaped the black hole......
No, they're not crazy because they're just machines.
Instead of escaping as the black hole's gravitational field expands, several massive interstellar fortresses begin to desperately block any spaceship that dares to escape the galaxy. All they want is to die together, and they exist only to destroy this civilization.
Some of the people in the control hall were busy saying their final goodbyes to their distant loved ones, and some were silently covering their faces in pain, sobbing and leaving tears. In the face of this most powerful star in the universe, they completely gave up their resistance......
"It took God seven days to create the world, but it only took seven minutes to destroy it...... In seven minutes, we will enter the future light cone of the sun's destruction......" The commander slowly turned to face the camera again, his face seemed to age much more in an instant, he moved his lips slightly, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes, "Let's go, don't come back, there is no hope here, use long-term dormancy to find hope in the depths of the endless sea of stars!" ”
He raised his hands high and shouted his last voice: "Remember, it takes more courage to survive in the vast universe than death!" ”
The screen went dark for a moment, then flickered slightly, revealing a perspective of space.
Xiao Cheng knew that this was the monitoring satellite that the program automatically switched to the space orbit.
In the darkness of space, the satellite was also impacted by the drastic changes in the star's gravitational field, and the picture was constantly shaking, but the scene of the living planet below was even more amazing.
The first to break is the man-made ring space cities on the periphery of the planets, and the huge metal rings that make up these space cities are torn apart by the tidal force of the gravitational drop, turning into fragments one by one, burning in the atmosphere and crashing into the planet, causing huge shock waves.
Later, the whole planet also changed, and the atmosphere was elongated by invisible gravity, gradually peeling off the surface of the planet. The continental plates cracked inch by inch, and large amounts of lava gushed out of the cracks. The ocean is swelling, and the powerful currents can even go straight into space......
Subsequently, the earth's crust cracked and the rock faults melted due to friction. The strawberry jelly-like mantle under the asthenosphere wriggled and exposed to the icy depths of space......
The soft mantle didn't last long before the rapidly increasing gravitational field pulled towards the black hole, leaving a long red line in the starry sky. The last of the Earth's core was revealed, and the planet's metal heart lost its blood supply and began to become cold and silent, slowly shattering......
The image finally disappeared completely, and it was clear that the small size of the surveillance satellite could no longer resist the gravitational drop when the black hole formed.
As for the invaders' several interstellar fortresses, with their distance from the black hole, they have already fallen into the eternal abyss.
The truly most powerful tidal forces in the universe belong only to black holes.
……
"It's over...... It's all over......" Xiao Cheng slumped into the soft seat, staring at the dark screen with vacant eyes, as if he was looking at the nascent black hole from a distant space. Perhaps only the cold and dead darkness of a black hole is the most in line with the nature of the universe......
In its natural state, the formation of a living planet is so difficult. I don't know how many billions of years it took to collide before it took shape, and I don't know how many billions of years of evolution it took to become beautiful and full of vitality.
But destruction is often only in a moment.
According to the second theorem of thermodynamics, it is always easier to make matter disordered than to make it ordered. It has been inexorably proven that the destruction of the universe is the same regardless of whether you were a beautiful living planet or a desolate garbage planet before.
"Fresh blood-red magma erupted from the cracks of the shattered earth, like the boiling blood of life pouring into the cold space." Xiao Cheng smiled bitterly, with deep sadness on his face, "If those emotionally rich poets were still alive, they would probably write like this." But, hell, the boiling blood, the destruction of a planet is just a watermelon that has been smashed to pieces, and all I see is watermelon juice splashing everywhere......"
As he spoke, he choked up and couldn't say any more. The young man pressed his head against the cold console in pain, and the hot tears from the corners of his eyes fell on the silver metal surface and slowly flowed......
His homeland was completely destroyed......
……
After a long time, Xiao Cheng calmed down slightly, looking at the starry space outside the window, as if he could calm himself down in this way......
Because of the rush of the launch, not only did the Nova not carry any slightly larger creatures, but even the quantum communication network was not fully commissioned. The six escape ships have completely lost contact with each other, and it is almost impossible to establish contact again in this continuous leap journey that is light years away, not to mention that in order to increase the success rate of escape, the six ships were completely accelerated in six different directions.
In the environment of being alone, Xiao Cheng remembered the commander's last words: A person needs more courage than death to survive in the vast universe......
Seem...... I kind of understood what he meant.
Although it is not known whether all six spaceships were able to escape safely, the Nova obviously succeeded, and Xiao Cheng himself was only briefly unconscious and did not suffer much damage. At this time, when viewed from space, the capsule-shaped nova completely turned into a flickering streamer. Each time the streamer breaks, it is a small short-range jump, and after breaking away, the spacecraft will fly a certain distance in space by inertia, collect free particles in the starry sky to create antimatter to generate energy, and then make the next jump again......
Considering endurance, this continuous flashing method is currently the most effective long-distance mode of the nova, and in this way, the relativistic effect of near-light speed flight exposed to the stars can greatly delay the time on board the spacecraft, extending the life of equipment and personnel.
Where did those invading starfortresses come from? And which civilization made them? These questions are meaningless, it is impossible for Xiao Cheng to turn around the spaceship to find the invaders desperately, let alone the invaders...... At least the starfortress they used to invade has been buried in the black hole.
The key question now is, what's next?
It was planned that it would take some time for the invaders to reach their home planet, which would be enough time for the scientific team to sort out the most likely planets for human continuation from the star map, and since the escape ship obviously could not have the ability to modify the planet, it was extremely important to provide a clear destination for genetic transmission using cloning technology.
But...... Xiao Cheng's eyes were gloomy, as if he wanted to smile sarcastically, because the departure was too hasty, not to say a clear destination, not even the cloning equipment and gene bank were equipped, and there were only a part of the microorganisms and genetic modification equipment on the nova......
What's the use of your sister's clone equipment that doesn't have large creatures and needs genetic modification equipment! Do you casually modify microorganisms to play? Xiao Cheng inexplicably had an urge to flip the table......
In the dark and cold space, the spaceship is like a lonely boat in the sea, and the prodigal son of the starry sky is confused, because the port that belongs to him has disappeared......
Xiao Cheng remembered the hard drive that the commander had directly unplugged from the base computer, and there was no time to copy the data at that time......
He hurriedly took the hard drive from the cabinet below and plugged it into the Nova's main computer.
Countless data flowed quickly on the screen in front of him, and this information was very miscellaneous, including most of the current proven star positions and data, as well as many 3D printed data models of large equipment, and of course, in addition to these serious things, there were even some private chat logs of researchers logging into their accounts on the base computers......
Looking at it, Xiao Cheng's eyes were suddenly attracted by a piece of information......
[During a misoriented focusing operation, the Salbins telescope accidentally discovered a strange galaxy.] After a series of calculations, scientists were surprised to find that there was no known theory to explain the sudden change in the star's brightness, and at the same time, a series of tiny continuous radiation was detected in the star system, and scientists even dared to speculate that there may be an alien civilization in this star system that people have never discovered, and they used technology to create these anomalous phenomena. Global Daily reports. 】
"The Salbins Shining Star Incident, this is an old news from decades ago......" Xiao Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, he remembered this magical event that aroused his love for science in his childhood, "Do you suspect that it is an alien civilization...... That being the case, until the final death comes, even if there is even the slightest hope, let me find the answer to this question......"
After officially setting the Nova's clear sailing goal and automatic wake-up time, Xiao Cheng calmly lay down in the sleeping cabin with a silver metallic luster, watching the cabin gradually be filled with white mist, feeling a trace of coldness slowly enveloping his body. Through the transparent glass observation port of the sleep pod, he took one last look at the bright starry sky outside and closed his eyes.
"This is a real ultra-long-range voyage......
(Well, that, because I'm a little out of the mood to do my homework today...... No, it's not! In short, I was very moved to see that someone supported me, and Feng Yu actually changed it for the first time...... Hawkers, I wish you all a happy May Day~)
