The farthest point of Satellite 1's orbit is already a full 10 million kilometers away from Skyhawk A. This time around, after passing the point of 10 million kilometers, it will break away from Skyhawk A's gravitational field in a curve.
, entering orbit around Aquila.
As time goes by, the distance between satellite No. 1 and the farthest end is getting closer and closer.
"One million kilometers left... nine hundred thousand... one hundred thousand... fifty thousand..."
Xiao Yu was calculating silently.
The speed of satellite No. 1 has reached one hundred kilometers per second. According to this speed, it is predicted that it will break away from the gravitational field of Skyhawk A in more than an hour.
"Three... two... one... OK, success." Xiao Yu watched with joy as Satellite No. 1 left Sky Eagle A and began to rotate around Sky Eagle A together with Sky Eagle A.
Because before breaking away from Skyhawk A, Satellite 1 was also orbiting Skyhawk 1 with Skyhawk A. Therefore, after breaking away from Skyhawk A, the speed at which it orbits Skyhawk 1 is the combination of the orbital speed of Skyhawk A and the planetary engine.
The sum of accelerations.
Of course, this speed algorithm is only suitable for low-speed motion. In the universe, if a spacecraft is moving forward at a speed of 160,000 kilometers per second, another rocket will be launched from the spacecraft at a speed of 160,000 kilometers per second.
satellite, then the speed of this satellite is not the sum of the two, 320,000 kilometers per second, and its speed is still below 300,000 kilometers per second. This is because of the relativistic effect.
The speed of light is insurmountable, and the speed of light is a constant, a fixed value in any reference system. Therefore, whether it is at rest or moving at a speed of 290,000 kilometers per second, the observed speed of light is
is a fixed number. The reason why this happens is because time has changed.
After breaking away from the gravitational field of Skyhawk A, the speed of satellite No. 1 orbiting Skyhawk A reached 173 kilometers per second. This speed will continue to increase under the influence of 10,000 planetary engines, and is expected to be
After circling half of the Aquila, we started heading towards the Aquila binary system.
During this period of time, the strange beast fell into an abnormal silence. It seemed to realize that it was doing useless work, so it no longer used space broadcasting to communicate with Xiao Yu.
This made Xiao Yu start to worry. Xiao Yu absolutely did not believe that this strange beast would wait for death. It fell into silence, which could only mean that it was planning some other conspiracy.
Xiao Yu became increasingly vigilant. However, due to the number of spacecraft in the Aquila II system and the accuracy limitations of the observation equipment, Xiao Yu could not detect what it was doing. You must know that in the Aquila II binary star system,
Most of Xiao Yu's spaceships were destroyed, leaving only a dozen rural and village-level spaceships there, barely taking on the task of surveillance.
Following the launch of Satellite No. 1, there were also 5,000 new spacecraft. These spacecraft were prepared just in case to prevent the planetary engine from being damaged by certain forces.
In the vast expanse of space, a satellite was rapidly revolving around the Skyhawk. Finally, when it circled the side of the Skyhawk, its speed reached the escape velocity, so it followed its orbit.
The tangent line flew directly out, getting further and further away from the Sky Eagle.
This means that it will leave Tianyingyi forever and never come back.
Its current speed relative to the Aquila binary system has reached about two hundred kilometers per second. This speed is far from enough. According to the principle that the faster the speed, the greater the energy released by the impact, Xiao Yu will be within the voyage.
By accelerating it for a long time, it is estimated that when it reaches the Aquila II galaxy, its speed will reach 50,000 kilometers per second, which is one-sixth of the speed of light.
To this end, Xiao Yu built tens of thousands of large warehouses on Satellite 1, each of which stored more than 100 million tons of fusion materials. In fact, during this year, Xiao Yu was still stationed at
All the spacecraft in the Aquila galaxy have invested in this huge fuel collection project, so they can collect such a huge amount of fuel in just one year.
"After leaving the Aquila Galaxy, without the gravitational constraints from the star, I can accelerate it without any scruples..."
After comprehensive calculations of the fuel reserves, the working life of the planetary engine, and the solidity of the crust of the No. 1 satellite, Xiao Yu decided to apply an acceleration of one meter per square second to the No. 1 satellite, that is, every second
Accelerate one meter.
According to this acceleration rate, Satellite No. 1 will reach the predetermined speed of 50,000 kilometers per second in one and a half years. At that time, it will stabilize above this speed, and it will take about seven years to reach
Aquila binary galaxy.
Thousands of planetary engines on the back of Satellite No. 1 started up at the same time, shooting out bright tail flames into space. Under the huge driving force, the speed of Satellite No. 1 slowly increased.
This is a veritable planet bomb.
After one thousand seconds, its speed increased to 201 kilometers per second. After ten thousand seconds, its speed increased to 210 kilometers per second.
Among the five thousand spacecraft, most of the village-class spacecraft stayed on the surface of Satellite No. 1, while the county-class spacecraft was stationed in the orbit of Satellite No. 1. One satellite and five thousand spacecraft formed a huge
The system, driven by the planetary engine, is advancing rapidly.
Under this situation, Xiao Yu's five thousand spacecraft will no longer have to spend extra fuel to accelerate. Because the gravity of the No. 1 satellite is grabbing them and moving with him.
If it weren't for the fact that these spaceships couldn't be recovered, Xiao Yu even wanted to deploy tens of thousands of spaceships here.
Because these spacecraft are accelerating with Satellite 1, their final speed will reach 50,000 kilometers per second, which means that these spacecraft will not have enough fuel to slow down, and they can only fly forward along the route.
, can never be taken back. Considering this, Xiao Yu did not increase the number of accompanying spacecraft.
A year later, Satellite 1 arrived at the heliopause of Aquila-1 and came into contact with interstellar dust material for the first time.
This is empty space. Before the arrival of Satellite No. 1, there was no other material except dust. The arrival of Satellite No. 1 broke the peace here. Xiao Yu saw that under the gravitational pull of Satellite No. 1, infinite
Countless interstellar dust began to gather around Satellite 1 and turned into an accretion disk.
This accretion disk is like a water vortex formed by opening the stopper of a bathtub. Satellite 1 is in the center of this vortex, and a huge amount of dust gathers on it every moment.
This kind of scene is very common in the universe. In fact, black holes accreting matter is such a pattern, but one is on a large scale and the other is on a small scale.
While accreting matter, because the dust is accelerated by gravity and the energy of collision increases, there is also strong radiation emitted from the poles of Satellite 1, and even some weak jets are formed at the poles.
.
The length of these jets is only a few thousand kilometers, which is considered insignificant. Xiao Yu knows that when a very high-mass black hole accretes a large amount of material, the jets at its poles are even strong enough to emit millions of lights.
Years away, equivalent to the length of dozens of galaxies connected together.
That was a heroic event on a cosmic scale. The event on Satellite 1 was countless orders of magnitude worse than that. After all, its mass was only that small.
With the addition of a large amount of interstellar dust, the mass of Satellite 1 will increase by nearly 10,000 tons per second. It is like a large shark that has broken into the waters full of fish fry, ferociously devouring these small particles.
substance.
If it stops here, it will stop increasing its mass after swallowing up the matter within a certain distance around it. But the planetary engine is constantly pushing it forward, which will cause the matter around it to be swallowed up forever.
It's not finished. Therefore, its mass will continue to increase. Xiao Yu predicts that when it reaches the Aquila II binary system, its mass will increase by about two megatons.
If it keeps wandering among interstellar dust, after millions or tens of millions of years, it may even collect enough mass to grow into a star.
But Xiao Yu naturally has no interest in building a star.
The impact of interstellar dust has another side effect, that is, it will decelerate Satellite 1 and cause it to deviate from its course. At the same time, due to the principle of conservation of angular momentum, Satellite 1, which had stopped rotating long ago, will continue to accretion of matter.
Next, there was another weak rotation.
For this reason, Xiao Yu had to start the planetary engine every once in a while to increase its speed, correct its course, and at the same time offset its tendency to rotate.
Four years have passed, and the relative speed of satellite No. 1 has been maintained at 50,000 kilometers per second. In four years, it will reach the Aquila II galaxy.
During this period of time, the strange beast had remained surprisingly quiet. But the more it did, the more worried Xiao Yu felt. If it harassed Xiao Yu from time to time, it would make Xiao Yu feel at ease.
If it keeps trying to manipulate Xiao Yu, it can prove that it has no other way to change the current situation. If it remains quiet, it means that it is planning other things, and Xiao Yu is not sure that he can deal with the rest of it.
Means. This situation made Xiao Yu very worried, but there was nothing he could do.
"We only have to take one step at a time." Xiao Yu thought.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, it was another four years.
Satellite No. 1 is only less than a month away from the white dwarf star, about 130 billion kilometers away. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
