Chapter 129: A Finger
Because Xiao Yu's fleet and the unknown black dot are facing each other, this means that the sum of the speeds of the two has reached an astonishing eighteen thousand kilometers per second, and under such a high speed, the two sides will pass by, and there is no way to carry out the capture operation.
Therefore, Xiao Yu's capture fleet needs to slow down first and reduce the relative speed between it and this unknown black spot, so that it can be captured at a relatively low speed.
This is the cosmic dust belt, and the density of matter here is hundreds of times higher than that of the interstellar vacuum. At such a density of matter, an object traveling at high speed will inevitably hit interstellar dust. And in the process of impact, there will be a faint burst of radiation. By detecting this radiation, Xiao Yu will be able to find any object with a certain mass and a certain velocity that travels near him.
In fact, Xiao Yu's fleet is also emitting this kind of radiation all the time. If there are some hidden existences in the shadows, if they deliberately search, they will be able to easily obtain all the data of Xiao Yu's fleet, including the number of spaceships, the volume and quality of spaceships, and other information.
That's the disadvantage of navigating within a nebula, anything with a certain speed and volume will expose its shape.
The part of the body tissue that was blown out of the white dwarf alien beast undoubtedly possessed these characteristics. Therefore, as long as Xiao Yu's initial prediction is not wrong, as long as it really passes through here, no matter how dark it is and how weak the visible light is, Xiao Yu can find it out.
The total number of spacecraft involved in the search reached 30,000. These 30,000 spaceships are scattered into a huge circle with a diameter of 100 million kilometers, like a huge net, and the effective search range reaches 5 billion kilometers in diameter. As long as the unidentified black spot passes through the effective search range, Xiao Yu will definitely be able to find its traces.
It is impossible for observational data to be error-free. It also means that Xiao Yu does not know the specific orbit of this black dot, but this huge net with a diameter of 5 billion kilometers has covered all the possible orbits of this black dot. Xiao Yu is at least ninety percent sure that he can be arrested.
There was still one day left before the calculated meeting time, and the estimated relative velocity of Xiao Yu's capture fleet and the black dot had been reduced to fifty kilometers per second.
The search equipment equipped on these 30,000 spaceships is turned on at full power, and any radiation that passes through here will be captured by Xiao Yu. These data. First, after the primary screening of the automation equipment, the data that meets the conditions and cannot be distinguished by the automatic program will be selected and handed over to Xiao Yu for processing.
With this precision, trillions of pieces of data are captured every second. Then tens of millions of suspected data were handed over to Xiao Yu for processing, in this huge ocean of data. Xiao Yu was nervously searching for traces of the target data.
"It's too far away. It is expected that the radiation source is 300 billion kilometers away, and it will not be this ......"
"The intensity is too low, and it is expected that its relative nebula will only move at a speed of 1,000 kilometers per second, which will not be the ......"
Xiao Yu searched slowly, and finally, a piece of data entered Xiao Yu's mind. Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.
"The relative velocity of the nebula reaches 6,700 kilometers per second, and the radiation source comes from 700 million kilometers away...... After orbital thrust reversing. Its orbit basically overlaps with the Aquila II binary galaxy, and this is it! ”
Xiao Yu immediately manipulated the observation instruments on the capture fleet to lock on this target, and as the observation deepened, more and more data was mined by Xiao Yu.
"According to the multi-point radiation intensity measurement, it is probably an irregular shape, well...... But in general, it is cylindrical, with a diameter of about 300 meters, a length of one kilometer, a volume of about 70 million cubic meters, and a mass of ...... About 350 million tons. ”
"I don't know which part of the body of this thing is the white dwarf alien beast." Xiao Yu secretly guessed, manipulated the landing spacecraft, and prepared to capture.
According to the current data, the relative speed of the two is 50 kilometers per second, and the distance between the two is 170 million kilometers, and the two sides are expected to meet in 40 days.
But Xiao Yu didn't want to wait so long. Xiao Yu first manipulated the landing spacecraft to accelerate forward, approaching it at a speed of 2,000 kilometers per second, and after getting close to a certain distance, these landing spacecraft pulled away from each other and spread out into the shape of a can.
At that time, this piece of unknown material will pass through the inside of the tube, and Xiao Yu's spaceships will be attached to it one by one like blood-sucking leeches.
Five days later, the first ship finally met it.
The relative speed of the two is 300 kilometers per second, but this speed, in the face of the powerful maneuverability of the spacecraft, only needs more than 100 seconds of acceleration can make up for it, so the spacecraft quickly reversed the acceleration, quickly reduced the relative speed to one kilometer per second, and after a few seconds of precise maneuvering, the relative speed was reduced to 100 meters per second.
At this time, the spacecraft next to it launched five artificial suns.
The so-called artificial sun is a super-giant flare. These five artificial suns, separated by hundreds of thousands of kilometers from each other, will be able to illuminate the entire space within these hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
At this time, the distance between Xiao Yu's spaceship and this unknown object was only thirty kilometers. Above this distance, Xiao Yu finally saw the whole picture of this object through the visible light band.
It was an almost cylindrical object, one thick and one thin, with a black and uneven surface.
Seeing this thing, Xiao Yu finally came to a conclusion.
"This should be the white dwarf alien beast...... Finger. Yes, it's a finger, and the most likely thing is the last part of one of its fingers. ”
The palm of the white dwarf alien beast is similar to that of a human, and it also presents a truncated structure, which should be the last part of its finger. Because Xiao Yu found a structure similar to a fingernail at the thin end of this thing.
To the White Dwarf Alien Beast, it was just a finger, and it was nothing compared to its total. But for Xiao Yu, this is a behemoth. In order to capture this thing, Xiao Yu dispatched 30,000 spaceships.
The contrast of strength between the two, at the moment when Xiao Yu finally came into contact with the other party's entity, was once again nakedly revealed, which made Xiao Yu have a feeling of "the mountains look up, the scenery stops", and he can only look up.
The first small spacecraft launched a landing operation. This is the smallest, but most maneuverable, village-level ship. It slowly approached the thing, and slowly landed on the surface of the thing under the manipulation of the fine-tuning engine.
The hatch opened, and hundreds of robots with tiny engines on their backs stepped out, took out something that looked like a rocket engine, punched holes in the strange thing, and fastened it to it.
In the process of punching holes, Xiao Yu found that the hardness of this thing was not as strong as he imagined, and in Xiao Yu's calculations, this strength of the material could not even support the huge monster to stand up. However, Xiao Yu has not yet carried out a detailed material analysis, and he cannot give an explanation for the time being.
After the first engine was installed, the robots were transported out of the second one, and according to a certain pattern, these robots had more than 100 engines installed on them before returning to the village-level spaceship and leaving the object.
Of course, before leaving, they did not forget to take a little specimen and transport it to the Beijing for Xiao Yu to analyze.
Under the illumination of the five artificial suns, every surface detail of this object was revealed, and every fold and bulge on it was closely analyzed by Xiao Yu.
The departure of the first ship was followed by the arrival of the second group, fifty ships.
The surface area of this object is about one square kilometer, and these fifty spacecraft, scattered within this range, are busy with work.
At least 100,000 robots have arrived here, driven by the miniature engines they carry behind them, busily shuttling around here. In the small space, there are flashes of light everywhere, and there are figures everywhere.
The second batch of ships was followed by the third batch of more than 100 ships, with more robots joining the work, and more engines being installed on the surface of the object.
Because this thing is too big, Xiao Yu doesn't have a spaceship to load it in its entirety, and if it is disassembled, Xiao Yu is worried that it will destroy some structures, so he can only use this method, install an engine on it, transform it into a rudimentary spaceship with basic power, and follow his fleet to the Skyhawk three-star system. After arriving at the Aquila three-star system, a detailed study is carried out.
What these robots have on its surface, in addition to countless engines, is also a protective shield instrument. Under the protection of these instruments, this thing will no longer be afraid of the impact of interstellar meteorites.
After the robots spread all over the surface of this thing, Xiao Yu made an unexpected discovery.
It was a strange ship in the shape of a cone.
This spaceship is obliquely attached to this unknown material, with a length of about fifteen meters and a diameter of about eight meters at the bottom of the cone, which is generally smaller than Xiao Yu's village-level spaceship.
"What is this? Could it be a passing ship that hits this thing and then loses power and can't leave? ”
"Or was this spaceship simply captured by the white dwarf alien for some reason, and then imprisoned by it all the time, and when the nova exploded, it just followed the blown finger and started this space voyage together?"
While thinking about it, Xiao Yu manipulated the robot to dig it out, loaded it into a township-level spaceship, and transported it to the city-level spaceship, Shijiazhuang, to analyze it. (To be continued......)
