Chapter 100O7 Chasing Stars
Suni's starship team has been in the vast universe for almost a year.
They are getting closer to the meteor swarm, and based on the current orbits and speeds of both sides, they should intercept the meteor swarm in about 20 days.
After another week of driving, his assistant Tobak noticed that something was wrong, "Mr. Suni, there seems to be a problem with our calculations, how do I think I am getting farther and farther away from the meteor swarm."
Suni was startled when he heard this, and immediately called the orbiter, who recalculated each other's paths, and said, "Tobak is right, we were indeed tricked by the meteors, and they are speeding away. ”
"Hurry up and investigate what caused the meteor's sudden acceleration."
"Yes, sir." Tobak went down to arrange for various departments to conduct careful tracking and calculation.
The results came out, in front of the meteor swarm to the left, there was a small black hole hidden, and by its gravitational pull, the meteor swarm not only increased its speed, but also changed its orbit, directly causing the Suni fleet to miss the best time to meet it.
Suni summoned all the captains of the starships to him for a meeting to discuss the next steps.
"Guys, time is pressing, I'll cut it short, we've missed the best window of time, and we're having a hard time catching up, what should we do?"
The captain of a transport ship, Beckjie, said: "No, let's give up this mission!" Besides, the accompanying material reserves do not support long-term cruising in an empty universe. ”
"What do you say, Tobak," Suni wanted to hear from his assistant.
Tobak waved his hand suddenly, "I don't agree to give up the mission, I've come so far, wouldn't it be empty-handed to return now, I'm not reconciled." ”
"I agree with Tobak's idea and continue the mission." Suni said firmly.
"But, technically, we've failed." The tracker spread his hands and said helplessly.
"No, we have a way," Suni said calmly, his eyes glowing like lightning.
Everyone stared at Suni in unison, wondering what else there was to catch up with the meteor.
Suni took a deep breath, "Since meteors can be accelerated by black holes, of course we can too; We flew straight to the black hole, using the powerful gravitational slingshot effect to accelerate until we were completely captured by the black hole, and then accelerated away and flew to the other side of the black hole. There we intercept the meteor again, this diagonal line is the most direct and fastest. ”
Hearing Suni's terrifying volley plan, almost everyone in the audience was stunned.
The black hole, that is the demon in the universe, I can't avoid it, and I still find the door, isn't that just going to die!
Everyone looked at each other and was skeptical about this method, but seeing that Suni was so resolute, they had to agree.
Where the black hole is, it is completely imperceptible, and the fleet can only calculate the approximate direction of the black hole according to the displacement of the meteor's orbital parameters.
After a long day of fumbling around, the gravimeter finally detected a faint trace of abnormal gravity, and Suni's fleet quickly adjusted its direction and moved in the direction guided by gravity.
They had entered the control of the black hole, and the gravitational pull was rapidly increasing, and the fleet seemed to be hooked by a powerful spring, quickly dragging it towards an unknown airspace.
Suni orders the fleet to turn off its engines and let the fleet slide towards the source of gravity.
The surrounding space-time changed violently, and the starry sky overhead began to distort, and the stars were pulled into straight lines from points of light, and then the straight lines began to twist into arcs, and the arcs turned into irregular rings or parabolas.
Eventually, even the shapes of similar ships began to become distorted, and the human forms were rapidly changing, stretching into slender noodles for a while, and then crushing into chunky tree stumps in the blink of an eye, accompanied by light and shadow flashing around them.
The fleet was still speeding exponentially, and suddenly a brown halo appeared in front of it, like a small smoke ring exhaled by a smoker; While the aura is fluttering, it is also rapidly increasing.
Suni exclaimed, "The black hole is right in front, and such a small black hole can't form an event horizon, so we can't see it, but it's right in front." ”
"What does that ring mean?" Someone asked.
"It must have swallowed a larger star, and that thing was a bit beyond its ability to accept, and the strong core impact formed a cloud of strong magnetic waves, and some of the strong magnetic waves were thrown out of the black hole, forming a halo." Suni said.
The orbiter smiled, "According to what you say, isn't it just that the black hole has eaten too much and has a full burp!" ”
Captain Beckjie also smiled, "You're right, it's true that it's eating up." ”
Suni's eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, and in the sky, countless neutron stars were speeding back and forth; In the sky, one star after another was exploding, and the entire sky was reflected in the light of the explosion in a dark red, like the sunset formed by the afterglow of the sunset.
Suni reacted instantly, it was the scene of the prehistoric showdown in the Andromeda Galaxy; He had heard this story and scene countless times since he was a child, and he was extremely impressed.
"Stay awake!" He reminded himself loudly as he shook his head vigorously.
In a halo, he saw his parents again, holding his young little hand, walking on a large meadow, the mountains and forests in the distance, the green grass nearby, the stream gurgling, the flowers, the hometown scenery is so beautiful, it is really intoxicating!
Suni felt a little dizzy, and he slapped his forehead hard, trying to keep his eyes open and keep his mind clear and focused.
Suni understood that under the pull of the huge tidal force on the inside of the black hole, the space-time here began to shatter, and some space-time fragments hit the depths of his brain's memory; Thus stirring and mapping out some of the deepest and deepest fragments of memory scenes.
In the blink of an eye, the fleet had passed through the rising brown halo - the black hole halo, which was the core control area of the black hole, and there was no chance to escape if it entered it.
"Start the engine and accelerate at full speed!" Suni shouted at the top of her voice.
The fleet erupted with a powerful roar, regained momentum, and turned the afterburner to the maximum.
In a trance, Suni saw his father, grazing sheep on a small hillside with his young self; In the blink of an eye, a neutron star flew in with a blazing flame, and their star was hit and soon shattered.
The sky flashed with a blinding white light, and soon the sky darkened, and I shivered with cold; Since then, he has never seen the red sun rise in the sky.
"Accelerate, accelerate!" Suni was still shouting.
"No, Mr. Suni," shouted Captain Beckje, the transporter, "our fleet has turned up the afterburner to the maximum, and it still can't counteract the speed of the fall. ”
"Don't give up, don't give up, it's almost over, gentlemen, try harder!" There was a captain shouting over the microphone, he was cheering himself on, and he was cheering everyone up.
"Hi dear friends, goodbye and good luck to you!"
Suni could hear it as the voice of Captain Beckjie, who was at the bottom of the fleet.
With a loud bang, Beckjie detonated his own transport ship, along with a shipload full of engine fuel.
A huge shock wave sparked and gave the fleet the most critical thrust, and they finally reached the escape speed, and at the last second of falling into the black hole, they managed to escape.
The fleet slid past the brown aura again, it had become very large by this time, and the Suni fleet was completely free from the gravitational pull of the black hole.
The Orbiter recalculated the orbits of the meteor swarms and plunged straight towards the front of their orbits, after all, the fleet was currently hundreds of times faster than meteors.
It took less than ten days for the fleet to catch up with the meteor swarm from the side.
There are more than 200 rocks of various sizes in the meteor group, the largest four are more than 5 kilometers in diameter, the others are less than 1 kilometer, and the largest one is about 15 kilometers in size.
Suni didn't choose the largest one, it was so big that it was not only difficult to control, but the consequences were incalculable.
He chose the smaller three, which were 5 kilometers in size; Each Little Rock is secured behind it with four transports to power it.
The transport ship is now transformed into a giant engine booster; The four transports in the rear tail of the rock star are like a giant four-engine interstellar rocket on the whole.
In a few days, the three giant interstellar rockets were completed, and the remaining ships became accompanying logistics support ships.
As the transport ship started, the three interstellar rockets were slowly pushed out of their original orbits and out of the meteor swarm.
