Chapter 172: Faster-than-light prototype
Xiao Yu was silently thinking, speculating on the method that the observer in the shadows might adopt.
"It's really not my style to leave fate to the unknown to decide, but I really can't help it, I'm still too weak to resist this kind of disaster......"
Xiao Yu made a decision.
In front of hundreds of Lucca scientists, Xiao Yu said: "I decided to stay in the starry sky of the universe and rely on our own abilities to survive this disaster. The previous discussion was very good, so let's combine these two methods and implement them together. Find a star, hide behind it, and then try to develop a curved space energy shield. Kindness...... During this time, we will stay in the Aquila Four Galaxy, and we will leave here when the information storm has passed. ”
Lukka III said, "Master, based on some unproven conjectures, I suggest that we get out of here and go to the Aquila II galaxy and hide behind the white dwarf. Using a white dwarf as a shield is better than a normal star. Of course, I don't have any evidence that this will work a little, this is just a suggestion, and it is up to you to decide how to do it, the host. ”
"The Aquila II galaxy is one and nine light-years away, and if we accelerate at full speed, we can reach it in five years. Okay, let's head to the Aquila II system. It just so happens that there is also a gas planet there, which can replenish us with fuel and supplies. ”
Xiao Yu made a decision.
As the fleet slowly accelerated, Xiao Yu set his eyes on the yellow dwarf star in the distance. It's home to the beasts.
Xiao Yu didn't plan to join the beasts, because he didn't have the ability to protect them. Instead of wasting fuel on such meaningless things, it is better to save a little.
During this time, Xiao Yu was not idle, but continued to carry out research on the theory of great unification. At present, the theoretical framework has been determined. However, there are still many points worth studying in the details, and having a theory and just having a research direction does not mean that it can be applied immediately.
At this stage, in terms of scientific research, Xiao Yu has two most important problems to overcome, one is how to achieve faster-than-light navigation based on the theory of unification, and the other is how to find a more efficient energy source than nuclear fusion.
Long-term acceleration of the spacecraft. The uninterrupted operation of supercomputers, powerful energy shields, etc., are extremely energy-intensive, and in order to cope with the increasing energy demand, Xiao Yu even had to load half of the mass of the Hebei with nuclear fusion fuel. This was in the midst of future interstellar voyages. Almost unimaginable.
Both of these issues are currently in the early stages of research. sailing faster than light. Xiao Yu already has a rough theoretical outline in his mind, all he needs is a long time shiyan, but Xiao Yu only has a vague concept of the second question.
In the dedicated laboratory of the Hebei, Xiao Yu has never given up scientific research.
"Is it gravity to bend space...... Gravitational bending in a very small space requires an extremely high density of matter to achieve. For example, white dwarfs and neutron star matter. It's not realistic to use these things directly, and even if you do get such a thing, you want to change the gravitational force. Nor can it be done. So...... The only way to achieve the goal is to convert energy into gravity through the grand unification theory. ”
Xiao Yu thought in his heart, and watched the situation in the vacuum laboratory cabinet closely.
There, a small black ball hovers in the void. This is the gravitational converter built by Xiao Yu under the guidance of the theory of unification.
This instrument can create a great deal of gravity in a very small space.
Under Xiao Yu's manipulation, a trace of energy was infused into it, and through its transformation, the energy turned into gravity and was emitted.
As the energy increases, its gravitational pull gradually increases.
"Well...... It has exceeded the gravitational force of the earth's material unit by ten times, and continues to increase the conversion power. Looking at the values on the observation instrument, Xiao Yu gave an order.
The gravitational source created by this energy-converting instrument can only affect a small space. For example, a miniature black hole has a total mass that is only the size of an atom, and such a black hole can only feel its strong gravitational pull at a scale of a few femtometers away from it, and its existence will not be detected if it is expanded to even one centimeter at an equal distance.
The gravitational source built by Xiao Yu belongs to this nature.
Now the strength of this gravitational source is equivalent to the gravitational pull of white dwarf material, but its gravitational pull can only exert its power on extremely close scales, and it cannot even exert a slight effect on the glass wall half a meter away.
Under such gravitational intensity, Xiao Yu keenly observed that around this gravitational source, there was a little observable distortion in space. It's twisted, like air above a fire.
Xiao Yu is still continuing to increase the transmission of energy, so the strength of this gravitational source is getting higher and higher. But no matter how powerful it is, its range of influence can never exceed one decimeter.
"The unit gravitational strength of a neutron star has been reached."
The effect of this gravitational source is similar to that of a few cubic nanometers of neutron star matter placed here. Because of the small total mass, they are unlikely to affect distant objects, and because of their high density, they can even distort space very noticeably in close proximity to them.
After the gravitational field on one side reached this strength, Xiao Yu deliberately weakened the gravitational field in a certain direction, and as a result, an amazing phenomenon occurred.
Xiao Yu saw that the ball suddenly lost its trace.
But its disappearance lasted only about a billionth of a second, and when it reappeared under Xiao Yu's observation instrument, its distance shifted by six decimeters.
It still floated there silently, not moving. However, Xiao Yu noticed that the strong gravitational field around it that he had created before, had disappeared.
Xiao Yu's heart immediately became excited. Because, if Xiao Yu's test results are not wrong, then this time Shiyan will be the first faster-than-light voyage achieved in Xiao Yu's hands!
Although the distance is only six decimeters, although the duration is only one billionth of a second.
Xiao Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and unfolded shiyan again.
"Is it because the energy is exhausted that you get out of the faster-than-light state?"
Xiao Yu muttered silently in his heart, "Since this is the case, then increase the energy intensity...... Hiss ......"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.
The faster-than-light phenomenon happened again, this time, the ball traveled a distance of ten meters, from the inside of the vacuum test cabinet, to the outside. And, knocking out two small holes in the wall of the vacuum test cabinet.
That's right, two small, strangely shaped holes, one crescent-shaped and the other irregularly shaped. But one thing is for sure, neither of these two holes will allow this ball to pass.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yu wondered in his heart, "How can an object hit a hole smaller than his own size?" ”
This phenomenon is as if a bullet with a diameter of one centimeter penetrates a piece of glass, but the diameter of the hole in the glass is only 0.8 centimeters. At this time, the question arises, since the area of the hole is smaller than the area of the impactor, how does it pass through?
Xiao Yu conducted another experiment, and in this shiyan, the ball only left a hole in the wall, but the area of the hole was still smaller than the cross-sectional area of the ball.
After several shiyans, Xiao Yu finally came to his senses.
"It turns out that this is the case, matter depends on space to exist, and the moment the ball touches the wall, the wall is also affected by the curved space-time and becomes bent, so this phenomenon is caused."
If you imagine space as a piece of paper with elasticity, stretching or squeezing it or making it wrinkle, it is equivalent to space distortion, then in the case of wrinkles in this piece of paper, cut a circle on it, and when it is flattened, the circle will no longer be a circle, but will become an irregular existence.
That's why the ball leaves an irregular hole in the wall. Similarly, if you stretch the paper, cut a circular hole in it, and when it is flattened, the area of the hole will naturally shrink.
This is the approximate explanation for this strange phenomenon.
After thinking about this, Xiao Yu became more and more interested, and shiyan again and again, trying to find out the relationship between the strength of gravity and the speed of sailing, the direction of sailing, and the duration of sailing.
This will be the prototype of faster-than-light travel.
Sailing faster than light, it is no longer far away from Xiao Yu.
In the midst of busy shiyan and research, time passes little by little. Xiao Yu's fleet has sailed a distance of about a light year.
At this time, there was a sudden unexpected situation ahead.
There seemed to be an invisible mouth in front of him, devouring Xiao Yu's spaceship. Xiao Yu saw that the spaceship flying at the forefront suddenly lost its trace.
In the visible band, infrared band, and ultraviolet band, all of these spacecraft have lost their traces, but the communication between them is still maintained.
It's as if someone has suddenly performed stealth on those ships.
"What's going on? What's going on there? Xiao Yu looked at this scene in shock.
Another spaceship crossed that invisible border and vanished.
At this time, Xiao Yu received a message.
"Little ones, you've flown into my body." (To be continued......)
PS: I'm really sorry, I've been in Kavin lately...... The plot is obviously in my head, but I can't write anything. During this time, I basically didn't sleep before two o'clock, and I thought I had to get some rest...... So in the last few days there have only been two shifts. But the previous promise still counts, and the less one is even more owed, and it will be made up this month.
