Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, the huge monster Jupiter is watching here quietly, as chaotic as ever. In the distance, the huge Jupiter ring is moving quietly, with more than 60 satellites rising and falling in it. Xiao Yu started from
There is no factor found in the Jupiter system that could cause strong radiation.
If Xiao Yu had not intentionally strengthened the heat insulation layer and radiation protection layer of the spacecraft before arriving, at this moment, Xiao Yu would have been caused by this abnormality. All the instruments had malfunctioned, the central computer had short-circuited, and he died directly.
.
But even so, Xiao Yu was made very uncomfortable. There were already tiny sparks erupting in some places on the spacecraft. If not dealt with in time, it may cause a larger-scale short circuit, which would be dangerous.
Thousands of sensors scattered throughout the hull of the spacecraft began to collect data with all their strength. Various detection equipment such as Geiger counters, magnetometers, photometers, and spectrum analyzers were activated at full speed. Countless data were transmitted to Xiao Yu's brain and calculations began.
Almost in an instant, Xiao Yu came to the conclusion.
"No red shift? No blue shift? How is this possible?" This conclusion made Xiao Yu unable to figure it out.
If there is radiation, there must be a radiation source. According to the Doppler effect, when you are far away from the radiation source, the radiation band will move to the red end, which is a red shift. On the contrary, when it is close, there will be a blue shift.
But Xiao Yu's current observation results are that there is neither red shift nor blue shift.
This shows that the radiation cannot come from Jupiter. Because Xiao Yu is now moving away from Jupiter, or Jupiter is moving away from Xiao Yu. If the radiation comes from Jupiter, then Xiao Yu should observe a red shift.
There is only one possibility. The radiation source maintains the same movement rate as Xiao Yu's spacecraft, both in speed and direction. Or... the radiation source is simply on top of the spacecraft.
Xiao Yu immediately started the next round of testing.
"The radiation inside the spacecraft is dozens of times weaker than the outside of the spacecraft. The radiation detected by the sensor on the outer shell of the spacecraft is the largest...Does the radiation come from the outside of the spacecraft? No, or is the radiation attached to the outer shell?"
Xiao Yu immediately started the optical sensor and carefully checked the outer shell of the spacecraft. However, there was nothing on the outer shell of the spacecraft that did not belong to the original contents of the spacecraft.
"What the hell is going on!" Xiao Yu was worried. In this situation, if you delay for a little longer, a serious accident may occur. However, Xiao Yu tried all his methods and could not detect the problem at all.
"Calm down, you must calm down." Xiao Yu suppressed the panic in his heart, "If a big wind and wave like the collision of the moon and the moon comes, I don't believe that the boat will capsize in the gutter."
At this time, the Geiger counter jumped wildly again, and another powerful radiation source was observed. The difference was that this time Xiao Yu observed an obvious blue shift, which showed that this radiation source was rapidly approaching him.
.
After determining the location, Xiao Yu immediately aimed the optical detection equipment there. However, what he saw was only the huge Jupiter slowly rotating, and at most only a few meteorites moving carelessly according to their own orbits. Other than that,
Except, there is nothing else.
However, the radiation was still gradually increasing, and Xiao Yu almost started to curse.
"What on earth is it? What thing?" Xiao Yu was depressed and couldn't figure it out. Suddenly, the spectrum analyzer showed that the blue shift of this powerful radiation source disappeared.
At the same time, the radiation intensity on the outer shell of the spacecraft also doubled from before.
This shows that the radiation source has stopped moving.
"Is there another radiation source attached to the outer shell of my spacecraft?" Xiao Yu speculated, but no matter how he searched, he could not find any objects that might emit radiation in the visible light band.
Calculated based on the current radiation intensity, Xiao Yu's radiation protection layer will not be able to withstand two more such radiation sources. By then, the machinery, instruments, and circuits inside the spacecraft will be severely damaged, even irreparably damaged.
.
"Huh?" Just when Xiao Yu was anxious, he noticed something unusual.
He felt that the intensity of the radiation source had increased slightly. It was as if the radiation source was trying to penetrate the radiation protection layer and try to go inside the spacecraft.
"Does this thing have its own thoughts? Could it be life?" Xiao Yu was startled and immediately connected some lines under the radiation protection layer to electricity. Under the action of the electromagnetic field, the feeling of being penetrated disappeared.
.
Now Xiao Yu has passed the time when he is closest to Jupiter. Now, Xiao Yu is moving away from Jupiter at a speed of fifty-eight kilometers per second.
"Jupiter is too weird here. Anyway, we have obtained enough observation data, so we should run quickly and get out of danger first." Xiao Yu made up his mind and accelerated for another ten seconds, consuming several tons of fuel and increasing his speed.
It accelerated to 63 kilometers per second.
However, Xiao Yu sensed the danger again. He also observed the blue shift phenomenon, which symbolized that the radiation source was rapidly approaching him. This time, they were two different radiation sources!
"Damn, this is going to kill me!" Xiao Yu was shocked. In a panic, he didn't care that he couldn't see these things at all. He just took out the laser gun and aimed at the direction of the radiation source in the observation.
A section of laser was fired at maximum power.
The laser flashed away, and Xiao Yu's observation equipment showed that the blue shift of one radiation source disappeared, and the radiation intensity of this radiation source also decreased by two percentage points.
"This is so weird." Xiao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, the radiation source blue-shifted again.
It was as if there was an invisible creature there. Under the blow of Xiao Yu's laser gun, it paused for a moment, and then continued to pounce towards Xiao Yu.
"It's really weird." Xiao Yu cursed and continued to shoot in that direction with the laser gun.
This shot did not weaken its strength. Xiao Yu checked the data and discovered that the thing had actually changed its position and avoided the laser gun's fire.
Xiao Yu's heart trembled, and he immediately turned the gun and aimed it at the radiation source again. The radiation source hid again, and Xiao Yu aimed again. It was like a policeman, constantly aiming at a robber who kept dodging.
Under constant laser strikes, observation equipment shows that this radiation source is continuously reducing its intensity. However, although the intensity is reduced, its blue shift has not disappeared.
The laser gun fired for about three minutes and consumed almost a ton of fuel. Finally, the radiation source disappeared from Xiao Yu's observation equipment.
"We really encountered a ghost." Although one radiation source was eliminated, Xiao Yu did not dare to neglect at all. He turned the laser gun again and aimed at another radiation source to shoot. Four minutes later, another radiation source
The radiation source also disappeared, and Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yu began to think about what this was.
First of all, this thing is invisible, but its existence can be detected through Geiger counters, their moving direction and speed can be determined through red shift and blue shift, and their radiation intensity can be reduced through laser guns until they are
Eliminate it.
"Is this...a creature on Jupiter?" Gradually, after analysis, an astonishing idea appeared in Xiao Yu's mind.
It can actively attack Xiao Yu, and can also actively avoid laser gun fire. This seems to indicate that this thing has its own consciousness.
This completely subverts Xiao Yu's previous understanding of the word "life". In the minds of most people, including Xiao Yu, life can be seen and touched, even the smallest one, with only basic
Viruses with a DNA structure can also reveal their shape under an electron microscope.
So, how to define an existence that has its own consciousness, can move around, but has no mass, is completely transparent, does not emit or reflect any visible light, and the entire body is just a radiation source? How to define this kind of existence?
Time no longer allowed Xiao Yu to think about it. Because Xiao Yu observed that there were at least hundreds of such radiation sources on a certain satellite of Jupiter 300,000 kilometers ahead, and they all showed strong radiation.
Blue shift, which shows that they are approaching Xiao Yu at an alarming speed. The approaching speed of both parties is almost as high as 150 kilometers per second!
At this speed, it only takes half an hour for the two sides to meet head-on!
Xiao Yu's current radiation protection layer can only withstand up to four such radiation sources. If hundreds of radiation sources are attached to the surface of Xiao Yu's spacecraft, the shell of Xiao Yu's spacecraft will be melted instantly and all circuits of the spacecraft will be short-circuited.
, the central computer will be paralyzed instantly!
Such a result means Xiao Yu's complete death. Even if the central computer is repaired and can be turned on again, Xiao Yu will not survive.
Because as soon as the phone is turned off, Xiao Yu's consciousness will become a piece of code fixed on the storage device, and he will lose his self-awareness.
"Holy shit!" Xiao Yu cursed, no longer caring about the energy consumption, increased the power of the laser gun to the maximum, aimed at that direction, and started shooting.
The laser gun fires a powerful laser at a consumption rate of almost one ton of fuel per minute, but even so, it takes Xiao Yu almost two minutes to eliminate a radiation source. Based on this efficiency, when they meet head-on
, Xiao Yu only eliminated fifteen radiation sources at most.
But, what about the remaining eighty or ninety radiation sources?
"This won't work." Xiao Yu's brain began to operate at full power. In an instant, countless plans emerged, and Xiao Yu tested their feasibility one by one, and then gave up one by one.
Finally, a plan passed the feasibility test.
"This is the only way, then, give it a try, it's better than just sitting back and waiting for death."
Xiao Yu sighed and began to control the robot to quickly transform a metal box and attach it to the inner wall of the spacecraft.
"Then let's start the radiation source capture plan!"
