Beijing Yanxi Lake Roundtable Conference Room.
"I am honored to announce that today's meeting started with a happy event. Our comrades who worked silently together, Li Yixuan and He Yuwei, who devoted their youth to the Counterattack Alliance, finally got married ten days ago in their hometown in Shandong, in the presence of their relatives and friends.
Lien Li." Jones paused for a while, then turned to look at the harvest countdown.
90 years, 9 months, 07 days, 7 hours and 16 minutes.
"We are getting closer and closer to an alien attack that is a hundred times more dangerous than Zhu Huai. Fortunately, there are counterattacks to lead the way and lead human technology to move forward to resist the harvest. Now we may have to
Separate the new couple and let Li Yixuan continue to perform the super-light speed experiment.
But this experiment, which has been prepared for two years, faces huge risks. It is also a prerequisite for the success of the subsequent series of backlash. We will vote on a huge backlash plan later, which is also the main discussion topic of this meeting.
. Dr. Li Yanxuan applied to the committee members and asked the committee members to cherish the decisions in their hands."
More than a dozen committee members stood up and applauded Li Yixuan and He Yuwei to show their respect. This respect was not only a blessing to the newcomers, but also an affirmation of their contribution to the alliance.
Li Yanxuan thanked him and began to describe the grand anti-harvest plan that he and Alan Zhang had been discussing for the past two years.
cosmic wind chime
The boron-based man activated the nucleophage from 20,000 light-years away and is roaring in at about 4,000 times the speed of light. It is impossible to observe with optical instruments. The movement of large-mass objects faster than the speed of light will definitely cause gravitational wave disturbances, so in the Oort cloud
Cosmic wind chimes are set up at 2 light years away, 6 light years away, and 8 light years away to detect abnormal disturbances in gravitational waves. The cosmic wind chimes are used to monitor the nucleophage flying at super-light speed. It is estimated that about 60,000 cosmic wind chimes will be needed. In the next step
Around 30,000 will be initially deployed within 60 Earth years and completed within 80 Earth years.
Universe Network
It is expected that the nucleophage needs to slow down to less than 10 times the speed of light before approaching the solar system. Even at this speed, any impact will cause irreversible destruction.
Therefore, based on this, there is a high probability that Nucleotiha will avoid areas with a large number of asteroids such as the Kuiper Belt, and then choose a plane at a certain angle with the ecliptic plane to enter the solar system, and then gradually slow down before approaching the Earth to a level below the Earth's gravitational escape velocity.
inside, and finally fell into the earth.
With the Kuiper Belt as the outer periphery and up to the orbit of Saturn, a cosmic net is set up in a spherical shape to intercept the nucleophage.
The cosmic network has been technically verified in the laboratory, and it is expected that network interception will be achieved within the next 20 years.
The cosmic web is made up of man-made ultra-high-energy rays. Any object that enters or passes through will be instantly vibrated at the proton level, and will eventually vibrate into proton-level dust, which is dispersed in space.
Both the Cosmic Wind Chime and the Cosmic Network require a super-light aircraft as a prerequisite for implementation.
On the other hand, superluminal experiments are only used in simulation systems and miniaturized systems, and large systems face unknown risks.
From a resource perspective, the annual budget required by the Cosmic Wind Chimes and the Cosmic Network is approximately the sum of the world's new wealth. How can we obtain such huge resource support without informing humans?
The Alliance Committee unanimously approved the anti-harvest plan and granted full power to Alan Zhang and Li Yixuan for execution and decision-making. As for the issues of risk and resource allocation, it is left to the Alliance countries until moments such as the failure of interception that determine the fate of the earth come.
Conceal any information about the Counterattack Alliance.
Three days later, the moon came back to bite the Alliance Space Force headquarters base.
Some of the depression caused by the attack on Galileo can still be seen on the faces of some members. In addition, there are excited faces. Today, mankind will usher in a milestone in technological development - faster-than-light flight.
At the launch center of the base, a spaceship shaped like a capital letter "A" with a gray body is parked on the launch platform. In memory of the heroic spacecraft Galileo that died, the experimental spacecraft was named Galileo 2. There are two more on the left and right sides.
The same standard spacecraft were named Galileo 3 and Galileo 5 respectively, and were used as backup verification machines.
In the lunar underground command center, Li Yixun and Song Jing stood on the left and right of Alan Zhang respectively. Opposite the huge real-life command platform, the superluminal test staff were nervously preparing.
"General, get ready." Major William, the commander of the launch site, reported.
Song Jing looked at Li Yixuan and Alan Zhang and said, "You two, let's start?"
"It's a bit sad to give up. Once it flies out of the Oort cloud, Galileo 1 cannot be recovered and will sail into deep space at super-light speed and never look back." Alan Zhang said.
"The fuel is exhausted and it cannot turn. If it hits a star, a super cosmic firework will probably be set off." Li Minxuan said.
"I hope I can see Dr. Zhang's tears later," Song Jing joked.
"Stop teasing and start launching." Alan Zhang forced a smile.
"Each system should take 10 minutes to prepare."
"Communication is normal!"
"The cockpit is fine!"
"The airspace is normal!"
"The fixing bracket opens normally."
"The Mars observation point is normal!" the Space Force Mars Base reported.
"Copernicus is ready!" The Copernicus spacecraft is currently parked in the orbit of Jupiter, responsible for observing the mutual disturbance between Jupiter's gravity and super-light vehicles.
"..."
"emission!"
A dazzling white light burst out from the base where Galileo 2 was parked, and the spacecraft immediately took off. Galileo 2 soared vertically in the lunar sky. In just a few seconds, its speed reached escape velocity.
At a distance of 180 kilometers from the lunar surface, the spacecraft turned sharply and flew towards Mars along the ecliptic plane. At this time, the flight speed of Galileo 2 had reached one-tenth of the speed of light. In another hour and 10 minutes, Galileo 2 passed a few kilometers of Mars.
It accelerates to the speed of light in seconds.
"Reporting that the command center has discovered that Galileo 2, the optical instrument can no longer be used, the gravitational wave observation is normal, and gravitational wave disturbance has been detected." The Mars base sent a report.
"A centimeter-level abnormal tremor of Mars was detected. The revolution and rotation speed were slightly affected."
The total weight of Galileo 2 is about 290 tons. At the speed of light, it will inevitably cause huge chaos in gravitational waves. The chaos of gravitational waves will cause Mars to tremble. If it travels at several times the speed of light, the impact will be even greater.
Lunar command center.
"Real-time data shows that Galileo 2 is flying at 299792459m/s at this time, exceeding the speed of light! I announce the birth of the first aircraft in human history that exceeds the speed of light!" Song Jing shouted excitedly.
The staff in the command center immediately became excited and cheered to celebrate each other.
Li Minxuan was very excited, but the expression on his face became much calmer. Looking at Dr. Allen Zhang again, he could no longer suppress his excitement and was taking off his glasses to wipe away his tears.
It was late at night in the Eastern Hemisphere of the Earth, but nearly half of the residents witnessed this pivotal moment in human history. When Song Jing announced that Galileo 2 had become the first aircraft to surpass the speed of light, the world celebrated.
"Humanity has taken a solid step in the understanding of the universe. We finally have the confidence to explore unknown areas of the universe and have the ability to realize interstellar travel. What is more important is to buy time for the counter-harvest plan, and for the cosmic network and the cosmic wind chime plan.
Implement and provide a transportation system." Jones said to the committee members present or online in the roundtable conference room of the counterattack alliance headquarters, although they all understood the meaning of this.
"It is expected to arrive and cross the orbit of Jupiter in 20 minutes." The on-site commander reminded the celebrating staff. Upon hearing the prompt, the celebrating crowd quickly returned to their workstations to ensure that Galileo 2 flew to Jupiter.
Galileo 2, which passed through the orbit of Jupiter at 1.5 times the speed of light, also caused Jupiter to tremble. Although it was more than 6 astronomical units away from Jupiter, the huge attraction of the spacecraft absorbed a large amount of Jupiter's gas, leaving a spectacular scene in the deep space.
traces of.
Galileo 2 will then accelerate to 6 times the speed of light in the next week. Then it will reach the preset speed of 10 times the speed of light when it reaches the outer edge of the Oort cloud.
This takes close to two months.
"Yin Xuan, congratulations, the experiment was successful." He Yuwei connected to the Space Force Command Center from the alliance.
"Thank you for your congratulations, Madam, but there is still 10 times the speed of light that has not yet been achieved, so it is half done."
"I have some good news for you, do you want to hear it?" He Yu asked with a slight smile.
"Good news! Of course you have to listen, but let me guess first. Has there been a breakthrough in the core technology of artificial intelligence?"
"No, it has nothing to do with work."
"So the beautiful short-haired tiger girl at home has given birth to a cub?" Li Yanxuan asked.
"She, you gave birth to cubs on the second day after you went to the moon. Oh, I'm so disappointed. If you can't guess anymore, it means that I am worse than a cat in your heart." 32-year-old He Yuwei also said
Immersed in the joy of the wedding, she puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be pitiful towards her husband.
"Yuwei, aren't you happy?" Li Yanxuan looked expectant.
"Well, aren't you very happy? I already knew this in the morning. You had to prepare for the launch in the early morning, so I delayed informing you until now. Today is called double happiness." He Yuwei was naughty.
"What a great joy. Thank you Yuwei. I'm not with you, so you have to take care of yourself." Li Yanxuan restrained his excitement beyond the speed of light, but could not restrain the joy of He Yuwei's pregnancy, so he wiped away tears.
"Yuwei, don't stay up late, go to bed early. Your health is important." Li Xuan advised.
"Are you concerned about me or your child?" Yuwei joked with Li Yixuan without intending to sleep.
"Of course it's you two," Li Yanxuan said.
"Okay, assuming you can talk, I'll go to bed first. You can continue working. Take care of yourself." He Yuwei reluctantly exited the connection.
"Congratulations, Dr. Li, congratulations." Song Jing and Alan Zhang congratulated in unison.
"Thank you, thank you. Same joy! Dr. Allen Zhang, you go to rest first, I will keep an eye on it."
"Have you decided on a name?" Alan Zhang asked.
Chapter completed!
