Chapter Ninety-Three: Xiaoguang's Own Crisis

At this time, Yang Meng seemed to have just gone out, but he couldn't remember whether the door was locked at home.

Memories are in a strange state,

And this state comes and goes quickly, just something that happens in an instant, and he quickly forgets the sound that appears in his ears.

It didn't take long for the rectangular metal glowing with a bright green light to slowly stop when it was a certain distance away from the spaceship.

After seeing the huge metal block that was almost the same size as the spaceship stopped, Yang Meng seemed to think of something, turned his head and said to the point of light floating in front of the porthole:

"Xiaoguang, can you please help me break down this piece of metal?"

Hearing Yang Meng's inquiry, Xiaoguang flickered and asked rhetorically:

"Is it a direct decomposition in space outside?"

"Yes!"

After receiving Yang Meng's affirmative answer, Xiaoguang continued to flicker and did not answer immediately.

Looking at the flickering little light, a thought flashed in Yang Meng's heart:

"Can this point of light exist in a space environment?"

Regarding this question, Yang Meng has been curious since he went into space.

In his opinion, the point of light is free from the shackles of life, and it stands to reason that it should have a certain ability to survive in the universe.

In addition, Xiaoguang has a strong ability to decompose and recover materials, and under the premise of temptation, he doesn't want to waste such a labor.

However, Xiaoguang's next answer was a little unexpected to him,

"I'm sorry, but I can't be directly exposed to the space environment in my current condition......"

"For now!" Yang Meng immediately grasped the key point in Xiaoguang's words,

"In other words, you have the ability to survive in the space environment!"

"Yes!"

"When our people knew that we lived on a sphere, they tried to leave the planet,

Although in the meantime, all methods of leaving have failed,

But also to understand some of the vacuum environment in space,

So as an energy body, I have also made some changes to adapt to the space environment! ”

"However, the harshness of the space environment is far beyond what the people originally imagined, and there are many situations that we did not consider at the beginning......"

Hearing Xiao Guang's explanation, Yang Meng was a little puzzled, what factors restricted Xiao Guang's activities in space, as an energy body.

"Is it energy diffusion?"

Yang Meng combined the situation in space and thought of a situation,

Under different environmental conditions, gases and energy will diffuse to varying degrees.

Just like a balloon, because of the atmospheric pressure on the earth, the balloon will be confined to a certain shape.

But in a vacuum, the balloon will eventually expand and explode as the air is withdrawn.

"The small light that is an energy body will also have a discrete escape phenomenon in its own energy structure in a vacuum environment?"

Just when Yang Meng secretly guessed what problems the light point would encounter in the vacuum environment,

Xiaoguang didn't let him think about it much, so he directly told him the problems he would encounter in a vacuum environment.

And the question that Xiaoguang said is exactly the opposite of Yang Meng's guess.

"The space environment will cause my internal structure to slowly merge."

"Fusion!" Hearing such an answer, a look of surprise appeared on Yang Meng's face.

"It's a synergistic fusion that occurs under the wave of string particles!"

"What do you mean?"

Under Xiaoguang's explanation, Yang Meng showed a sudden expression,

He doesn't understand the string theory, but something similar has happened in the history of human astronautics.

As an astronaut, he has a very good impression of that incident.

It's just that the scale of that event is not under the scale of string theory, but in the field of particles above string theory.

In October 1989, mankind launched the Galileo probe to Jupiter.

Compared with the previous probes that skimmed Jupiter,

Galileo Galilei is the first, true orbital probe of Jupiter in the history of mankind,

However, when this significant exploration satellite reached Jupiter after a lot of difficulty,

But there was an extremely serious problem, the main antenna on the satellite to communicate with the earth's humans failed to open,

You must know that the data detected by the detection satellite is sent to the earth through antennas.

If something goes wrong with the antenna, even if the satellite is still working, it has lost its meaning.

Fortunately, in aerospace engineering, human beings have adopted the method of using one backup for important components.

After turning on the backup antenna, humans obtained the detection data of the Galileo satellite.

Although Galileo was successfully operational, scientists on the ground are still looking for the reason why the main antenna could not be turned on.

After spending a lot of time on experiments, simulations, and demonstrations, researchers found that

The cause of this failure is cold welding in space.

In the global environment,

Divide a piece of metal, because there is oxygen in the air, and an oxide film will soon appear on the surface of the metal,

makes it difficult to put together exactly the same pieces of metal,

But there is no air in space, and the oxide film no longer exists, so the same metal will naturally merge.

For this case,

Human engineers naturally know that they have coated various parts of the detection satellite.

But human beings still underestimate the speed of metal fusion in the space environment.

Just a small piece of skin will be firmly welded together, and some equipment can no longer be opened, causing unpredictable accidents.

Recalling this history, combined with Xiaoguang's explanation, Yang Meng also understood the problems faced by the light point at this time.

Due to the change of the environment, the interior of Xiaoguang lacks this "coating", which makes its own interior appear to be slowly fused.

"According to Hikaru Ao, it has never left Rutan B, nor did it anticipate this situation......"

"Huh!? Wait, how does it know that when it is in a space environment, its internal structure will slowly merge? ”

"Could it be that it tried to leave the ship......

Thinking of this, looking at the small light that was still flickering, Yang Meng suddenly understood something.

"If it's really as Xiaoguang said, the space environment is also extremely dangerous for it!"

Although he didn't know what the internal structure of Xiaoguang was, what would happen if he fused?

However, with the degree of intelligence expressed by the small light, you can also imagine the complexity of its internal structure.

Just like the human body, the heart that is beating normally suddenly merges with the lungs on the side.

It would be an extremely terrible picture for blood that was pumped into the circulatory system to spurt out through the mouth and nose.

"Little Light, what happens if there is a fusion inside of you?"

For this question, Xiaoguang flickered violently a few times, but did not answer,

Instead, after a few seconds of silence, the conversation shifted to the previous question.

"If you can construct the environment here on that piece of metal, then I can help you recycle and break it down."
