Chapter 329 Two thousand six hundred times the speed of light!
The latest observation results told Xiao Yu that the star's operating state was not stable.
Generally speaking, in a star system with planets, the trajectory of the main star is unstable. For example, the sun's rotation axis is not a straight line passing through the center of mass of the star, but has some deviations.
To give a simple analogy, take a piece of paper, cut out a circle, and then use a pen to penetrate the paper. Of course, do not pass through it at the center of the circle, but choose a place away from the center of the circle, and then use the pen tip as the axis.
Start spinning.
The star's motion is like a rotating circular piece of paper.
The reason for this phenomenon is actually very simple, that is, the gravitational disturbance from the planet makes the system tend to develop into a binary star system, causing the rotation axis of the main star to deviate from the center of mass. In fact, by measuring this gravitational disturbance phenomenon, the Earth
Humanity of the era has discovered hundreds of exoplanets.
But there was a question that puzzled Xiao Yu. Because, within 20 billion kilometers around this star as the center of the sphere, Xiao Yu did not find any stars of considerable mass.
In other words, there is no star that can bias the rotation of this star.
Xiao Yu quickly informed the participating scientists of this result. This phenomenon immediately caused the scientists to talk about it.
"First of all, it can be determined that this special phenomenon is not caused by black holes. Although black holes cannot be directly observed, their traces can be easily found through the gravitational lensing phenomenon." Xiao Yu said, "A few of our
One hundred thousand detectors have searched this star system, but they have not found any trace of massive stars. So... what is going on?"
Xiao Yu couldn't figure it out. This star was like a maverick lunatic, always showing some puzzling characteristics. Without the gravitational disturbance of other stars, why would its rotation axis shift? In other words
.Since its rotation axis has shifted, it means that it must have been affected by other stars, but where is that star? Why can't I see or feel it?
Xiao Yu had a vague intuition that this phenomenon was probably related to the strongest defensive weapon called "New World" mentioned in the last words of Tolor Civilization.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but start thinking about the meaning of the simple word "new world".
"Is the star's rotation axis shifting due to its own stellar activity?" A scientist stood up and expressed his opinion somewhat uncertainly.
"No, it's impossible." Xiao Yu denied: "At least three thousand detectors are gathering around that star at this moment, and every move it makes is under my control. Its stellar activities at this moment are not
It may have such a major impact. Well, let me calculate it through gravitational disturbance... The calculation results show that four billion kilometers away from it, there is a star with a mass about three times that of the sun pulling on it.
Wait...wait! The star's rotation axis deviation has disappeared! It has returned to normal!"
At this time, the detector once again reported news that shocked Xiao Yu.
"How could this happen? How could a star with a mass of zero point three times the mass of the sun disappear in an instant? This. This is not logical." Looking at his observation results, Xiao Yu was inexplicably surprised.
The star rotates because it follows the principle of conservation of angular momentum, and if there is no external disturbance, its axis of rotation will inevitably pass through the center of mass. This star is showing such a state at this moment. A moment ago, its axis of rotation was still
There was some deviation, and now it has recovered in a very short period of time.
All the scientists looked at each other in confusion. What happened has proved that the scientist's explanation that the rotation axis of the star is shifted due to the star's own activity is not correct. Perhaps stellar activity may really cause the star's rotation axis to shift, then.
Will stellar activity correct the rotation axis again?
This is neither logical nor scientific.
"Look, look, the rotation axis deviation phenomenon has appeared again!" Xiao Yu, who received the report again, was even more surprised and immediately reported the news.
"No, something is wrong!" Luca 4 said, "Master, have you noticed that the deviation of its rotation axis this time is not the same as the deviation rate of the rotation axis deviation that occurred last time. According to this deviation
Calculating the movement rate, at this moment there is probably a star with a mass of 0.5 times the mass of the sun, pulling it at a distance of 12 billion kilometers!"
"What the hell is going on!" Xiao Yu felt very depressed at this moment. Because Xiao Yu found that his proud technological strength and knowledge reserves were completely incomprehensible when faced with such a thing.
clue.
"There is indeed something weird about this star system. It is basically certain that the so-called new world and the ruins of the Tolor civilization are hidden somewhere here, but we can neither see it nor feel it.
He is as elusive as a ghost."
"There was about ten seconds between the two rotation axis deviations. According to our calculations, one is an orbit 4 billion kilometers away, and the other is an orbit 12 billion kilometers away. The two
The distance between the two orbits is eight billion kilometers. Eight billion kilometers! Ten seconds! One second is 800 million kilometers. This, this is more than 2,600 times the speed of light! How is this possible!" In the conference room,
There was an exclamation.
This exclamation attracted the attention of all the scientists in the conference room. Then, they each made some simple calculations and came to the same conclusion. The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became solemn.
"I wonder if you still remember the Taihao civilization from the Large Magellanic Cloud." Xiao Yu's tone was a little bitter. "It took the initiative to find the sweeper civilization for a decisive battle, and then found that its strength was not as strong as the sweeper civilization. As a result, it
A distress signal was sent, and the distress signal was received by the Guardian Civilization. The Guardian Civilization then issued a cosmic summons, calling on all civilizations in the galaxy that have the strength to participate in the war to go together to encircle and suppress the Sweepers."
"I remember it very clearly." Luca 3 took over and said slowly: "At that time, we, the Luca tribe, were the only race following you, the master. The content of the Galactic Calling Order of the Guardian Civilization,
I still remember it. It probably means that all civilizations with the ability to sail at a speed of more than a hundred times the speed of light can go to the war site by themselves. Those that cannot reach it can go to the gathering point of the Guardian Civilization, and the Guardian Civilization will be responsible for transporting them.
go."
"This information means a very clear practical problem." The next words were spoken by Luca No. 4, "From this information, we can know that even for the old and powerful sixth-level civilization, the guardian
For civilization, one hundred times the speed of light is also a big hurdle. Similarly, it can be seen that the speed of the guardian civilization will never exceed one hundred times the speed of light. But... the speed of this thing has reached two thousand six hundred times.
Multiple times the speed of light, what does that mean?”
"Speed means technological strength in a certain sense. I know this." Luca 2 said, "It is certain that even the sweeper civilization is far from reaching this speed. In fact, according to our speculation,
Among them, the sweeper civilization can reach a speed of 150 times the speed of light, which is enough to shock people. More than 2,600 times? This, this is only possible if it reaches the level of seventh-level civilization. But.
...If the Trol civilization is really a seventh-level civilization, how can it be so embarrassed when pursued by the sweeper civilization? Even if it cannot be defeated, who can catch up with it if it runs away?"
Two thousand six hundred times the speed of light is a very terrifying speed. This is a height that Xiao Yu does not even dare to look up to. According to Xiao Yu's inference, only level seven civilizations have the ability to sail far across the river system. The most important limitation is,
It's a matter of speed. Even if we calculate at the speed limit of the Sweeper civilization, which is 150 times the speed of light, it will take more than 15,000 years to go from the Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy. This time may not be very long, but it is a long time.
The most fatal thing is not getting any supplies during the journey.
The supply problem cannot be solved by carrying enough supplies. Xiao Yu was once confused in the past, how could supply become a problem? With the technological strength of the sweeper civilization, Xiao Yu believed that they were fully capable of carrying a star on their journey. So,
Isn't one star enough for them to consume?
However, with the development of science and technology, after thoroughly understanding the principle of curvature navigation and the rate of energy consumption, Xiao Yu knew that he was wrong. The reason is simple. Supply also has quality. The greater the mass, the more energy is consumed to launch curvature navigation.
How much energy does it take for a star to travel at a curvature of 150 times the speed of light?
Even if all the mass of this star is converted into energy, it will not be able to support its voyage from the Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy in a curvature way.
Then there seems to be only one way to travel across the galaxy, and that is conventional navigation. At sub-light speed, it takes up to three million years to cross from the Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy. This method is really
It is possible to realize a river-level voyage, but the consumption along the way is also a problem. Whether it can be reached, there is no guarantee whether what will be arrived is a living creature or the corpse of a creature.
And what if the speed can reach 2,600 times the speed of light? This means that it only takes less than nine hundred years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy from the Milky Way. Nine hundred years are fleeting and really not very long.
But, but, how could the Trol civilization have such strong strength? (To be continued...)
ps: The third update is coming... Today’s fourth update will be moved to tomorrow, which means there will be the third update tomorrow.
I don’t know if this counts as an explosion? Well, regardless of whether it counts or not, Rainbow shamelessly asks Piaopiao... In the voting for the best work, remember to vote for Battleship!
