Chapter 176: Preparations

Hearing Tai Hao's words, Xiao Yu's heart immediately tensed.

"What the hell is an information storm? How do I observe? Xiao Yu asked hurriedly.

"It's really troublesome, but for the sake of you helping me find a big fish, I'll help you again." Tai Hao said, and as soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu felt that a piece of information had entered his mind.

Xiao Yu immediately began to interpret this information. It was only a millionth of a second for Xiao Yu to fully understand the meaning of this message.

"I see." Xiao Yu, who read this information, breathed a sigh of relief gently.

"So, let's start observing, such an opportunity can't be missed."

"I've moved out of faster-than-light travel and into regular sailing. This information storm is expected to last 0.5 seconds. Taihao said to Xiao Yu.

It was not until this moment, after reading this information, that the information storm that had plagued Xiao Yu for more than 20 years was finally learned by Xiao Yu for what it was.

To explain the information storm, we have to mention black holes. A black hole is a very extreme object, and it is one of the possible destinations after the death of a massive star.

Depending on the mass, there are several different types of endings after the star dies. A star the size of the Sun dies in a more gradual manner at the end of its life, and after death, a white dwarf star is formed. It's like the white dwarf that Xiao Yu once encountered.

Stars with greater mass will have a supernova explosion at the end of their life, releasing billions of times more energy than the sun in an instant, after the supernova explosion, its core. A neutron star will form.

Above the neutron star, there is a black hole. Black holes are more extreme celestial bodies than neutron stars, and the surface escape speed of neutron stars is generally about 150,000 kilometers per second, but the escape speed of black holes exceeds the speed of light. This means that no object can escape again after entering the event horizon boundary of a black hole.

However, this will bring about a problem, and that is the loss of information. Matter itself carries a lot of information. For example, a meteorite, a table, they all carry a lot of information, such as energy levels, temperature, and so on. If they go after a black hole. If they can't come out again, the information they carry is lost.

This question has been plaguing Xiao Yu before. Because the loss of information does not correspond to currently known theories. If the confirmation information is completely lost for no reason. Then Xiao Yu's existing theoretical system must be completely overturned and reinvented. If Xiao Yu's current theoretical system is not wrong. That means that there must be a way, or process, that will allow the black hole to devour the information and spit it out again.

Now, Xiao Yu knows what the process is. That is. Information storms.

"It turns out that this is what the information storm is all about...... This solved one of my big questions. At least, my theory is self-consistent enough for now. Not overwhelmed by the problem of information loss. Xiao Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart.

In this message that Taihao gave Xiao Yu, he did not explain too much about the rest of the related processes, such as how the black hole died, the internal situation of the black hole, how the information is stored in the black hole, etc., in this information, it only shows that at the end of the life of the black hole, after reaching a certain limit, the black hole will have a super violent explosion and return to nothingness. At that time, during its long life cycle, all the information it devours will emerge in an instant, and it will sweep through several river systems through space.

Black holes are extremely long-lived, and the larger the black hole, the longer the lifespan. This information storm is that in the Andromeda Galaxy, a black hole with about 10,000 times the mass of the sun, for some unknown reason, reached the end of its life, exploded, and spit out all the information that it had swallowed up in its life span of at least billions of years.

Every ray of light that is swallowed by it, every atom that it swallows, contains a tremendous amount of information. Billions of years of accumulation, how terrifying will its total amount of information be? Xiao Yu didn't know. But Xiao Yu knew that so much information, after an instantaneous explosion was emitted, was definitely a super terrifying existence.

The information storm mainly kills the souls of intelligent creatures. At the moment when the information storm arrives, a huge amount of information will instantly dissipate the consciousness of intelligent beings, leading to the death of intelligent beings.

However, after all, the information storm has no entity, so it has no effect or only a very small effect on the first and second level civilizations that are relatively backward, have underdeveloped brains, and are not sensitive enough to receive information. It has no effect on the sixth-level civilization that has mastered the preliminary space technology, has no effect on the alien beast civilization, and has no effect on the mechanical civilization, and only has a strong lethal effect on the third, fourth, and fifth-level civilizations, as well as the ghost race.

When he learned this, Xiao Yu inexplicably began to worry in his heart.

"I wonder what happened to my people...... Will they be able to survive this information storm? ”

Xiao Yu is also within the killing range of the information storm. Moreover, since Xiao Yu has no body and only relies on computers to survive, the lethal effect of the information storm on Xiao Yu is even stronger.

But risk also means opportunity. God knows what kind of information a black hole would collect over such a long lifespan, and if a super civilization had carried out some shiyan, and the light that recorded these experiments happened to be swallowed by the black hole, then there would be a record of this shiyan inside it. If you can get this kind of information, the benefits are self-evident.

Even if he didn't have such luck, but just collected some light from the star, this is extremely useful information, through which Xiao Yu will be able to completely reproduce the complete evolution of a star.

Without such a mechanism as an information storm, it would be almost impossible for Xiao Yu to complete such a job. The lifespan of a star is often calculated in tens of millions of years, how could Xiao Yu observe for such a long time to collect data?

In short, there is a huge amount of information in the information storm, and this amount of information will pose a great threat to intelligent beings, but if you can avoid being harmed by it and collect some information, there may be some unexpected gains.

After understanding this process, Xiao Yu quickly prepared to collect information.

The tools used to gather information are simple, just simple antennas. There are many antennas on Xiao Yu's spaceship, and all Xiao Yu has to do is to vacate many hard disks in advance, and at the same time, protect the hard disks that store useful information from being affected by the information storm.

On top of this, Taihao gave Xiao Yu a great help. Taihao once again let Xiao Yu's fleet, including Luka, enter the four-dimensional space, leaving only a few information-gathering spaceships in the three-dimensional space.

Before re-entering the four-dimensional space, Xiao Yu had already sent a message to the Luka stars: "Next, we will enter the four-dimensional space, and all the Luca people who receive the information will immediately stop all movements, no matter what scene they see, they must remain calm and not move." ”

It is very necessary to publish such a message. Three-dimensional objects are completely visible and unstoppable in four-dimensional space, which means that if a Lucca is curious about the inner workings of his own body, he may have punctured a blood vessel and died.

The next moment Xiao Yu released the information, countless Lucca people were in an uproar, and at the same time, in the Paradise laboratory, Lucca scientists also fell into a heated discussion.

"Four-dimensional space? weishenme is not allowed to move? It is rare to have such an opportunity, so we naturally have to seize the time to observe and study it, if we can't move, won't we miss this good opportunity? ”

"That's it, such an opportunity, even if you risk death, you can't miss it."

Hearing these discussions, Xiao Yu once again issued a very strict order: "All observation tasks will be completed by me, and after leaving the four-dimensional space, all observation data will be shared with all scientists." Whoever does not obey the order will be expelled from the Paradise immediately! ”

Under Xiao Yu's stern order, finally, Luca's scientists reluctantly agreed.

After everything was arranged, Xiao Yu once again felt that strange feeling of dizziness. The next moment, the familiar and bizarre Shijie once again appeared in Xiao Yu's optical observation instrument, and was teleported to Xiao Yu's mind.

Xiao Yu already knew how ridiculous his previous thoughts were, and he actually tried to hide behind a star, or developed a curved space shield, just to avoid the information storm.

Information storms are space-based, so hiding in the stars, even behind a black hole, doesn't work. The curved space shield is even more useless. Even if the space is bent, the information storm can still come in.

The only way to avoid the information storm is to get out of this three-dimensional space.

Xiao Yu and the Lucas had already come to the fourth dimension, so they naturally broke away from this three-dimensional space. No matter how violent the information storm is, it can't affect Xiao Yu.

Sheltering from the information storm in the four-dimensional space is like sitting in a helicopter and dodging the flood. The flood is equivalent to a disaster that occurs in the second dimension, and sitting in a helicopter into the sky is equivalent to coming to the third dimension, and the disaster in the second dimension will not affect the third dimension in any way.

In the same way, the disaster of the three-dimensional shijie will not affect the fourth dimension in any way.

Here, Xiao Yu is absolutely safe.

Watching the passage of time bit by bit, Xiao Yu silently muttered in his heart: "The information storm is coming." (To be continued......)
