Chapter 1023: Extreme Leap

Time passed, and one number after another kept converging. Because the black hole is so distorted in time and space, the environment here is completely different from what it normally is.

Under normal star conditions, the closer you get to the planet, the faster time flows; However, black holes are not! At first, this was true, but when it came to the third danger line, because gravity distorted space-time and space, the space-time had already collapsed, so time here began to slow down, and when the horizon of the black hole was approaching, time was almost stagnant! And this leads to a consequence - here, even if you reach the speed of light, you can't escape, you can only be slowly pulled into the black hole, because you are already limited in time.

"This is what hundreds of probes captured after they crashed at the same location!" Liu Haibo looked at this scene that had been parsed in surprise.

It turns out that because time is extremely slow, all the qiē in the horizon range is almost stagnant, and therefore the light here is even tens of thousands of years ago! It's just that these lights are constantly superimposed, forming a shape like a mille-feuille, so the horizon of the black hole is actually colorful. It's just that because the light stays here, and the light can't escape, so that the outside world can't see the internal form of the black hole, it is because of the development of space communication technology that this series of phenomena can be simply explored.

Another point is that when you look at a black hole from the outside, you will sometimes see a rapid flow of light and shadow, so that it is not mixed; But if you look inside the black hole, you will find that these lights and shadows are recorded in segments, and according to time, space, etc. Orderly arrangement. The reason why there is a difference between internal and external observation is because time and space have changed! There are two worlds inside and outside the black hole!

"With more than 500 detectors, we took an image from tens of thousands of years ago. I don't know if it's a good deal? Li Canglan shook his head, but he can also understand that scientists never care whether it is cost-effective or not in exploration and research, they only care about the final result. Therefore, until now, at least three-tenths of the social wealth in the entire territory of China has flowed to scientific research and other related directions.

Of course. Huaxia has been able to develop so fast. It is also closely related to the importance of scientific research. There are two aristocratic systems in China, one is the traditional aristocratic system, and the other is the scientific research promotion system; And scientific research also has patents, such income. It is beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.

Year after year. In the blink of an eye. Three years have passed since the exploration of black holes. In the past three years, he has even tried to fly over a black hole with an unmanned spacecraft. However, the number and direct feeling obtained are incomplete, and there are many key phenomena that the instrument can never do, that is, to feel it yourself!

Inspiration, personal experience, etc., are the most important components of scientific research.

Also, in the past three years, Zhang Jingyuan has finally arrived, and Boss Zhang also attaches great importance to this challenge to the limit.

"It is reported that final attempts at warp speed escape pod and space transfer escape pod technology are underway. Please get ready, both adults. "The phantom of the scientist appeared.

"Thank you." Li Canglan nodded. Now that the two of them are dukes, they should be called adults. As for the current scientist, Li Canglan still remembers that his name is Zhang Guan, who is Zhou Qing's mentor, and he is a genius who has studied spatial translation technology. Of course, there are many scientists needed to study black holes, such as time, space, energy, light and radiation, source energy, matter, etc. Even in the past three years, three scientific research ships of more than 100 kilometers have arrived, bringing a large number of scientific instruments and scientists. Even the First and Second Aerospace Space Technology Research Institutes of the Empire are rushing here.

"Didi...... The final route has been determined, and it will fly over the black hole at a distance of 1.02 billion kilometers from the black hole horizon, that is, 1.07 billion kilometers from the black hole. Please receive a map of the black hole and the surrounding space that has been explored so far. ”

The internal structure of black holes has not been explored so far, and it can only stay in theoretical derivation; However, the structure of space-time beyond the horizon has been almost explored. Tens of thousands of probes, thousands of unmanned spacecraft, and millions of scientists have been analyzing day and night, using the power of the country to the extreme, and in three years, the periphery of the black hole has been dissected clearly.

The spatial structure of the outer part of the black hole is like an onion, but there are tens of thousands of layers of this onion, and the space-time structure of each layer is somewhat different. Changes in time and space, especially in time, make the thickness of the surrounding space layer also different.

Even if it looks like the same thickness, because of the different speed of time flow, for the aircraft, it will increase and decrease the thickness of the space layer in disguise, which is a relative. For example, if the flow of time is fast, it is equivalent to the thickness of the space; And if the flow of time is slow, like mud, it will thicken the thickness of the space layer in disguise.

"Didi...... All preparations have been made, and the heroes are invited to board the ship. ”

A spaceship like no other, slowly flying out of the middle of a spaceship hundreds of kilometers away. Unlike other ships, this one has exceptionally powerful thrusters. Nowadays, with the advancement of space technology, it is generally enough to accelerate the spacecraft to 0.5 times the speed of light, and then use warp speed flight or space transfer technology, so the general thrusters of the spacecraft are not visible.

But the current spaceship, like the oldest rocket shape, is more than ten kilometers long, but it is 7 kilometers, and it is obviously a thruster! Of the remaining three kilometers, one kilometer is the living compartment and cockpit, and the rest is the warehouse and backup mechanism. In the two kilometers, all of them are energy blocks.

In addition to these, on the periphery of the spacecraft, there is also a ring, and these rings are also thrusters densely packed together.

"Space Base One has been inspected. I wish the warriors a smooth journey and create a glory that belongs to us. ”

"The No. 2 space base has been inspected, space-time proofreading is our forte, warriors, after we come back, we will concoct a wonderful film and television together." Note that the normal light and shadow catcher is turned on. All the way down, haha......"

"Space Base III 5000 scientists are ready. Let's go find the White Fox Clan together and have fun. ”

"Old rascal, Base 4 is ready. The space-time interference around the black hole is too powerful, I wish you a qiēshun lì! ”

……

Each space base is a huge scientific research spaceship, but these spacecraft, which are hundreds of kilometers away, are also so inconspicuous in space.

"Come on." Li Canglan took a step back.

"Thank you." Liu Haibo smiled gratefully and stood at the front, "Friends, I believe." We are the best. We have spent thousands of years rushing out of the solar system, and we have conquered the starry sky of 300 light years, so we are not afraid that we will not be able to conquer a small black hole. Dinner is ready. We'll be back and reunited!

Arrow. Let's go! ”

"Boom......" The Divine Arrow spacecraft shook suddenly. And in just a few seconds, the acceleration climbed to 500 times the standard gravity! But now the exploration ships are all masters. Even if it's a miscellaneous one, it's the transformation period; Powerful civilizations also have enough qualifications to be so "wasted".

But with such a huge acceleration, even if Li Canglan and Liu Haibo were pressed on the seat for a while, it would take at least a while to react.

And from the outside, you can see that the spaceship instantly spews out ionic flames that are tens of thousands of meters long, and the spaceship is also accelerating in an instant, quickly getting rid of the fleet! Today's spacecraft engines are all space technology engines, and traditional plasma engines have long been unable to meet the needs of the starry sky. However, the reason why the transmitter can still spray ion flames is because the power is too high, the space is distorted, and the energy consumed is excreted.

The fleet originally had a certain speed around the black hole, about 500 kilometers per second, but such a speed is not worth mentioning for the speed of light.

However, seeing the rapid increase in the speed of the Divine Arrow spaceship, this is a spaceship built with the most advanced technology in China today, although the appearance is old-fashioned, but its power technology alone surpasses at least one era of today's mainstream technology!

The tail flame was still extending, changing from the initial light blue to red white, and a large amount of energy was ejected, and the spacecraft exploded with unprecedented acceleration in the silent space.

It's like a sharp arrow traveling through space, it's small compared to a black hole, but its tail is long enough! The initial "tail" has not yet dissipated, the spacecraft has reached 0.01 times the speed of light, and the speed is still accelerating!

Everyone was glued to the screen, but most people, except for scientists, were staring at the tiny "meteor" that suddenly appeared in the universe.

Hasten! Hasten!! Hasten!!! Speed is the greatest weapon to conquer the universe, and it is also the most basic driving force for the progress of human society!

War horses allowed humans to initially surpass their limits.

Machines have allowed humans to initially exceed the limits of living things.

Airplanes have allowed humans to initially free themselves from the shackles of the ground.

Breaking through the first cosmic velocity allowed humanity to look down on the earth for the first time.

Breaking through the third cosmic velocity allowed humanity to look back at the sun for the first time.

And today, humanity is going to challenge the first cosmic limit - the speed of light!

Previously, spacecraft were able to reach 0.95 times the speed of light by accelerating continuously, but upwards, it is said to be able to reach 0.98 times the speed of light. But in the universe with the speed of light, 0.98 and 0.981 are two completely different phases, and this time, human beings will hit 0.99 times the pure physical speed of light! At this acceleration, the mass of the spacecraft is 2525.2 times the mass of the initial low velocity state! It's a moat-like challenge.

In an hour, it reaches one-twentieth of the speed of light!

But as the speed increases, so does the mass of the ship; At least below 0.7 times the speed of light, the ship's mass increases slowly.

It reaches one-tenth of the speed of light in just over two hours!

8 hours, 70% of the speed of light!

But after that, the acceleration starts to slow down significantly!

After 20 hours, the speed is 90% of the speed of light!

And by this time, the acceleration had already begun to struggle.

After 50 hours, the speed is 95% of the speed of light!

Some of the scientists who have been cultivating have not closed their eyes for 50 hours, and they closely monitor the status of the spacecraft.

At this moment, the Divine Arrow spacecraft has passed the black hole for the first time at the position of the second danger line, preliminarily detected some numbers, and transmitted them back; At the moment, it is in the process of moving away from the black hole.

"According to the report, the Divine Arrow has reached the first target and is currently in good condition. Next, the spacecraft will use the gravitational pull of the black hole to make a turn. ”

In such a state of urgency. It is not easy to make a turn, and a bend can reach a radius of billions of kilometers.

After 120 hours, the ship was at 0.98 times the speed of light, and the ship had made a turn.

"Report to the command center that the spacecraft has been turned around and entered the expected orbit. Now, let's push the envelope! "This time it was Li Canglan who finished reporting.

After that, Li Canglan and Liu Haibo glanced at each other, and they both saw the burning brilliance in each other's eyes. In this black hole environment, once the spacecraft crashes, it is estimated that the escape pod will not have time to open; Actually push the envelope. There is a 30% chance that there are no bones left.

"All in place. Start the final program! The two of them entered the password synchronously and pressed the red button simultaneously.

In the darkness of space, the spacecraft adjusted its direction for the last time, and there was a bang. Brilliant blue-white brilliance erupts. This is a ruined explosion of the ship's engine - a burning energy block!

A ship whose acceleration has been reduced to ten times the standard gravity due to the increase in the ship's mass. Again the hard start to accelerate!

10 seconds ...... "Energy Depot No. 1 is exhausted!" ”

15 seconds ...... "No. 2 Energy Depot is exhausted!" ”

20 seconds ...... "Start the blasting separation program!" ”

Rumble!!! A big explosion of purple, blue, red-and-white light is generated! Originally. There are 5 kilometers behind the spaceship, and all the bodies explode with a bang! And the spaceship in the front part was blasted out like a bullet! The spaceship instantly broke through to 0.988 times the speed of light!

Such a violent propulsion made the spaceship tremble violently. The outer shock-absorbing shell fell off, and the spaceship was reduced by 70% in size at once! At this moment, some of the masters of the Transformation Stage were already trembling, with excitement, fear, and the influence of the spaceship itself.

"Synchronous activation of energy warehouses 11 to 20!"

Rumble...... The rest of the ships exploded again! And this time, it was a purple energy tail flame that broke out! It turns out that this is also a top-of-the-line engine, which also uses the method of burning energy blocks. Although this combustion method is explosive, the energy consumption is intense, and one energy block is equivalent to the civil energy consumption of a planet for ten years, and at this moment, these energy blocks are as worthless as a mountain of stones, and they are quickly consumed!

At least 10% of the energy is discharged directly before it has time to burn, so the tail flame has a light purple color.

"One-one-one, pay attention to the monitoring colors! The time to activate the escape pod is only 0.5 seconds! Our speed is 0.9883 by the speed of light! ”

"It is 1.543 billion kilometers away from the black hole event horizon, and it is accelerating using the gravitational pull of the black hole."

"The speed is 0.9891 times the speed of light, and it is 1.422 billion kilometers away from the black hole horizon. It's about to break through 0.99 times the speed of light! ”

"Dut!! The speed of 0.99 is the speed of light! 1.362 billion kilometers away from the horizon! At present, the qiē index is normal, and the engine loss is 2%. ”

The outside of the spacecraft was full of light, but neither Liu Haibo nor Li Canglan was in the mood to pay attention to it, and they tried their best to monitor the status of the spacecraft.

But on the Divine Arrow spaceship, all the people didn't know that after the spacecraft broke through 0.99 times the speed of light, the surface of the spacecraft suddenly changed--light!

I saw that an umbrella-like layer of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the spaceship, just wrapping the front edge of the spaceship; The brilliance is sacred and beautiful, mainly white, mixed with red, yellow, blue and green, beautiful.

"1.1 billion kilometers, 1.09 billion kilometers, 1.08 billion kilometers, 1.07 billion kilometers close to the black hole...... Not good, the black hole gravitational pull is too great, and the spacecraft is still sinking! ”

"Erupt! Last resort! At this moment, there was no room for delay, and Li Canglan instantly activated the emergency procedure.

Rumble...... The engine exploded again! The remaining energy in the ten warehouses two kilometers behind the spacecraft, plus the engines, exploded instantly.

"Pay attention to the state of the escape pod! Pay attention to the status of the escape pod! ”

With the help of this explosion, the speed of the spaceship instantly increased to 0.992 times the speed of light.

"The three-stage engine started successfully. Burn the stored energy that slows down! Acceleration...... Forehead...... 1 meter per second. "The key is the follow-up, although the acceleration is only one meter, it is enough to change fate!

The sudden explosion of the spacecraft, coupled with the slight acceleration of the three-stage engine, caused the spacecraft's flight path to turn a little around and brush the edge of 1.06 billion kilometers, and suddenly moved away.

"Oooh oh...... It worked. The speed is 0.9918 times the speed of light, and it is 1.08 billion kilometers away from the black hole. ”

"The speed is 0.9916 times the speed of light, and the distance from the black hole is 1.1 billion kilometers."

"Hurry up! We hit 0.995 times the speed of light! ”

"The speed is 0.99163 times the speed of light, and it is 1.102 billion kilometers away from the black hole;

"Request the command center, request the command center, the ship is burning the energy of the deceleration warehouse, so the ship may not be able to slow down automatically, request rescue!"

………………

"It worked!" In the distance of the space base, there were also cheers! Although there was some danger at the last moment, Li Canglan made a timely decision, coupled with the perfect production design of the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft got rid of the danger in the first place.

But because the spacecraft is in space, there is no force, so the acceleration and deceleration, theoretically consume the same energy (not counting the insufficient combustion waste). And now, although the spaceship is out of danger, it burns the energy used for deceleration at the critical moment, so the spacecraft can no longer use its own energy to complete the deceleration.

But the spaceship at the moment is also spectacular! Although the spacecraft is only three kilometers long and 200 meters thick, there is a rapidly expanding light layer in front of it because the spacecraft is light; At this moment, the light layer is tens of thousands of meters in diameter, and it is full of color, as if it is the light of creation, and various light operas are being performed in the brilliance. Different lights are combined and superimposed on each other to create a special artistic creation!

With such a layer of light, the Divine Arrow spacecraft swept 5 billion kilometers from the Space Exploration Fleet.

"Chase!" The rear ship immediately sent a fleet, "Stop these crazy people for me!" ”

Although he said so, Zhang Jingyuan still had a satisfied smile on his face. (To be continued......)
