Chapter 408: Supernova Relics and Black Holes
At an unknown point in time, Frontier Corporation's exploration of the Orion Alpha supernova remnants was completed with a spacecraft, heading for the V4641SGR black hole 800 light-years away.
This exploration project can be described as the most difficult exploration plan in the history of the reorganized exploration department, although it gathers most of the elites of the Frontier Company, the participants have an average life level of level II or above and become difficult to kill, and the outer armor plate and inner layer of the flying star spaceship are replaced with ultra-high-strength atomic-level material shells and dark matter armor plates, facing the two most terrifying star structures in the universe, the supergalaxy ruins and the black hole, which are still not enough to guarantee their 100% probability of success.
For example, in the just-concluded exploration of the remnants of the Orion Alpha supernova, they faced the aftermath of a terrible gamma-ray burst, and if it weren't for the fact that atomic-level materials and dark matter were enough to get acquainted with each other, their human bodies would have been beaten into a sieve in a matter of seconds, completely dying from the cellular level to the conscious level.
They then have to deal with a storm of meteoric material, which is accelerated by the explosion of the stardust that made up the original stellar mass, like sand hitting the face, causing a huge obstacle to the ship's progress.
Traveling through nebulae created by supernova remnants several light-years in diameter, they came to anchor near a neutron star, the last remaining relic of the galaxy's interior.
Neutron stars are the most important objects of investigation in the remnants of supergalaxies, neutron stars are usually tens of kilometers in diameter, because they are completely composed of neutrons at the elementary particle level, the gravity on its surface reaches 10 trillion times the standard gravity, and it must have a speed of at least 100,000 kilometers per second to escape from its gravity.
Because neutron stars are so dangerous, although humans have been trying to explore white dwarfs for some time, they have never come close to exploring neutron stars, and now more than 400 years after the Soviet scientist Landau first proposed the concept of neutron stars, they are finally able to witness it for themselves.
One sturdy unmanned spacecraft approached the past. They gather basic information about the vicinity of neutron stars, and then they try to figure out how long the strongest atomic-scale materials can last on neutron stars.
This is also closely related to the future fourth-generation spacecraft of the East Galaxy Company, the fourth-generation spacecraft, the active jump technology is the key, if there is no way to withstand the gravitational pull of the neutron star level. Then, there will be no way to complete the active jump.
In addition to this, they are also trying to explore genetic particle materials, such as neutron stars, which are made of elementary particles, and if there is a way to extract a small piece of elementary particle material from neutron stars, it may open the door to higher science and technology.
And using a neutron star as a weapon, imagine what would happen to a star if a remotely controlled neutron star crashed it into a planet? It has the same mass as a star. However, a neutron star that is hundreds of trillions times denser will definitely complete the process of star destruction in a short time, and even flattening the entire star cluster all the way is no problem, but it needs to have energy that can make the neutron star move in a directional motion.
Of course, these are just dreams, and they don't know anything about the supergalaxy ruins and how much benefit they will gain from the neutron stars here, the only thing they know is that it will reveal more mysteries of the universe. Pave the way for subsequent technologies.
Along with the exploration, a large amount of data was collected and sent to the new earth. Centaur Alpha, three places in the solar system, at that time, human beings were still engaged in a life-and-death competition in the unknown, and they made their own contributions in their own way, and they were not ashamed to see themselves as cowards.
……
At the beginning of the 25th century. The exploration spacecraft is getting closer and closer to the V4641SGR black hole, and although the black hole is not as gorgeous as the supergalaxy remnants, the black hole is far more valuable than the supergalaxy remnants in terms of importance.
It has been theorized that black holes create tidal waves of dark energy in the high-dimensional world of the universe. This makes some places richer, some places more remote, and it is the source of all dark energy, like the relationship between the source of the river and the river.
If you can be familiar with black holes and find ways to use them, it will be extremely helpful to connect the entire human world, especially the shipping routes between stars, and bring tangible benefits.
In 2401, the spacecraft entered the 1,000 AU range of the black hole, and the disturbance of light from afar seemed to engulf all the light, leaving nothing in space, the concept of location disappeared, and they were unconsciously pulled towards the black abyss.
The only thing that gave the crew confidence was that this modified special flying star was an "unsinkable ship" with a temporary 500 times space folding multiplier enough to sail freely in a space storm, and had a chance to resist the threat from the black hole.
Sophia stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the black giant that swallowed all the light in the distance, this was probably her last voyage, waiting for the exploration to end, she planned to retire temporarily, and then run to Arcturus with Joe Canal to live in seclusion, if necessary, she would reappear, so this black hole exploration is of great significance.
Behind her are a group of old employees who used to explore the department, as well as new employees recruited since the establishment of the Frontier Corporation, who are also exposed to the vacuum world, feeling the real world with their eyes, nose, and skin as much as possible.
"Look, there's a black hole not far from us, what do you think?" Sophia asked the staff below.
"It's beautiful!"
"Finally see the black hole!"
Then several more employees clapped side by side, another employee shouted "eggplant", and a robot completed a group photo for them, a photo of humans and a black hole.
Sophia couldn't help but whisper, her problems are really superfluous, anyway, they have come to this point, whether they succeed or fail, they will have no regrets.
What the? You say there are galaxy clusters, quasars, high-dimensional spaces, and so on that haven't been explored? Let's leave it to the younger generations, if the predecessors have done all the work, will the descendants have to eat and wait for death?
She stared ahead with sparkling eyes and shouted, "Assemble! ”
The giggling crew gathered together, 345 in all, in a neat line, facing their minister, waiting for her orders.
"I announce the start of the Black Hole Exploration Operation!" (To be continued.) )
