Chapter 198 The end of the renovation work

Mars Base, in the internal space of [The Source of Creation].

The head of the Mars base, Gabriel, is checking back and forth the alien device that was perfectly dismantled and completed the transformation mission.

"yuan, the renovation of the main device has been basically completed, and now it is the last step to install it."

Yuan is Jiabaili's nickname to Yuan Shichen. After two months of getting along, everyone's relationship gradually became familiar with each other.

"Yes, the original nuclear pulse power system on the Future Number has been completely removed. It's time to perform surgery on it." Yuan Shichen nodded and said.

"This is a major operation, haha."

Jia Bailie is a person who loves to laugh, is an easy-going person who is easy-going and easy to get along with. During this period, he has been doing his best to help Hashi-chan carry out the transformation of the "Future Number".

"Thanks to your help, this renovation work has been so smooth." Yuan Shichen sincerely expressed his gratitude to Jia Bailie.

"This is what we should do. The league instructed us to cooperate with your work, haha." Gabriel waved his hand and said with a smile.

Yuan Shichen greeted him with a smile.

"How fast can the Future Flying Fly after installing the black hole power system?" Gabriel suddenly asked curiously.

"Through the research and calculation of the energy level of the black hole system after transformation in recent years, combined with the mass of the future number, it is expected that our modified black hole dynamic system can theoretically achieve a speed of light of 40~50% in the future number."

"My God, how did this happen?!" Gabriel's face was distorted with an exaggerated expression in surprise, and he asked expectantly, "I'm not very familiar with this. Can you give me a brief introduction?"

"That's my honor." Harashi Chen said with a smile, "Actually, as early as the last century, scientists have proposed the concept of artificial black holes. Have you ever heard of [spherical lightning]?"

"I heard a little, but I don't know what the hell is." Gabriel replied modestly.

"The theory believes that if enough energy can be concentrated in a space, a micro black hole can be formed, and the behavior of the black hole can be described by the Schwarzsie equation." Yuan Shichen continued to explain.

"Is this how alien technology creates black holes?"

"Theory is similar, and the specific methods are different. The Creator uses powerful laser energy to create black holes. Stephen Hawking has long argued that black holes are not completely black (completely swallowing all matter). When the matter in it is converted into a cluster of subatomic particles, the black hole will "evaporate", resulting in Hawking radiation. Hawking radiation contains all kinds of subatomic particles, but the most important one is gamma ray photons."

"The power system is driven by these high-energy particles?"

"Yes, the Creator's technology allows high-energy gamma rays generated by micro black holes to convert high-energy particles such as electrons and positron pairs (positron pairs belong to antimatter) to form a power device similar to a jet engine through the deflection of the electromagnetic field."

"So that's it!" Jaberie seemed to be enlightened.

"You must have heard that the ultimate energy source in the universe is a black hole." Yuan Shichen asked back.

"I have indeed heard that if you master the ultimate black hole energy, you will become a God-like existence." Garbery expressed his affirmation.

"Haha, your metaphor is very vivid. I believe that Hawking's radiation will become the main source of power for interstellar spacecraft to travel to the Milky Way. It is much more reliable than antimatter power." Harashi Hatsuki said affirmatively.

"Oh" Gabriel didn't keep up with the rhythm again.

"The Hawking radiation emitted by small black holes far exceeds that of large black holes with stellar mass. In other words, the smaller the mass, the shorter the lifespan of a black hole will become and the faster it will evaporate."

"So, the Future will create a small enough black hole." Gabriel said excitedly in his head.

"You're right."

"What does the black hole engine rely on as fuel?" It seemed that a hundred thousand whys popped up in Gabriel's head.

"What is a black hole?" Yuan Shichen showed a mysterious smile.

"Aren't black holes just black holes?"

When Gabriel was asked this, he suddenly became unconfident.

"Will black holes swallow most of the matter?" Yuan Shichen continued to ask.

"That's the case!"

"So, black hole engines do not pick on fuel, and any substance can be thrown into the black hole to replenish fuel, and their operating costs should be low."

"Anything can be used as fuel?" Garbery was shocked.

"It's theoretically the case, including astronauts' excrement."

“shi~t?”

“yes! Including shi~t.”

"That's a pity. I thought the astronauts' excrement could be recycled and used to participate in the construction of an ecological circulation system. Our Mars base is studying this project." After staying on Mars for a long time, Gabriel seemed to have a deep emotion for human excrement.

"Uh~" Jia Bailie said of Xiang, with a regretful expression, Harashi Chen was also surprised, "We have also considered building a recyclable micro ecosystem on the Future. But this is not realistic. In order to ensure the speed, the space of the Future is severely limited, and it is impossible to build a complex and complete ecosystem in such a small space. Currently, water circulation and oxygen circulation can only be realized on the Future."

"What you said makes sense. The too single ecological circulation system is too fragile. The fewer species in the ecosystem, the lower the resistance and stability. When the ecological circulation collapses, it will have a fatal impact on the long interstellar travel. We will pay special attention to this when building the Mars base ecosystem." Gabriel nodded deeply and said.

"So it is not feasible to establish an ecosystem on a narrow spacecraft. At present, it can only be simple material recycling. If humans can create super giant spacecraft in the future, they may be able to establish a complete ecosystem. In fact, the earth is a huge fully enclosed ecosystem spacecraft." Yuan Shichen added.

On Earth, it contains billions of cubic kilometers of atmospheres, hundreds of millions of cubic kilometers of water, billions of hectares of farmland and 6 billion humans, all of which form a complete circulation system for human survival. Therefore, as long as the interstellar spacecraft is large enough, it will definitely be able to establish a complete circulation system so that food, water and oxygen can be recycled 100%.

"Perhaps, many cosmic civilizations have lived such a nomadic life in this universe." Gabriel said thoughtfully, "Will our earth civilization have such a day?"

"I'm too uncertain."
