Xiao Yu turned off most of the instruments, and covered the most important instruments that could not be turned off, such as the central computer, with high-blocking radiation-proof materials. Then he controlled the laser gun and randomly aimed at one of them.
Radiation source, shooting began.
The shooting lasted for thirty seconds. The radiation source was dodging and after a pause, it was nearly 2,000 kilometers away from the large army of radiation sources. Then, Xiao Yu changed the target and aimed at another radiation source, and so on.
Under Xiao Yu's conscious control, the radiation sources left the large army one by one, separated by a certain distance from each other, and the radiation intensity weakened to varying degrees. In just ten minutes,
Within a short time, Xiao Yu consumed hundreds of tons of fuel, which made Xiao Yu heartbroken.
But the consumption of these fuels is worthwhile, because in this case, Xiao Yu does not have to worry about these radiation sources swarming up.
By the time Xiao Yu had made all the preparations, the nearest radiation source was already less than 3,000 kilometers away from Xiao Yu. According to estimates, it would only take thirty seconds at most for Xiao Yu to meet this forward radiation source head-on.
Xiao Yu began to wait quietly for the moment of meeting.
Under the action of inertia, the spacecraft moved forward quickly. In front, there were hundreds of powerful radiation sources lining up and approaching Xiao Yu quickly. At the moment when the two sides came into contact, this weird radiation source looked like an ant.
When the locust encountered fresh flesh and blood, it desperately stuck to the outer shell of Xiao Yu's spacecraft and squeezed inward desperately.
The temperature of the outer shell of the spacecraft instantly rose to 200 degrees Celsius, and it continued to increase.
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth, and when the next radiation source was about to approach, he opened a gap in the outer shell of the spacecraft.
The gap was right opposite the metal box that Xiao Yu had prepared long ago.
This metal box is two decimeters thick. Except for the side that is in contact with the outer shell of the spacecraft, it is entirely made of high-strength radiation-proof and high-temperature resistant materials.
If we only talk about radiation protection and high temperature resistance, this box is more than a hundred times better than the outer shell of the spacecraft.
As a result, the radiation source that suddenly found an outlet cheered and rushed in. Then, it was blocked by the stronger barrier of the metal box and could no longer move forward.
A radioactive source was imprisoned in the box. Then came the next one.
Everything went as expected, and the radiation source was successfully locked into the box.
Although these radiation sources show some characteristics of life, they do not seem to be intelligent, but only rely on instinct to act. At least, they cannot distinguish whether there is a trap ahead.
It is precisely because they have no intelligence that Xiao Yu's plan can work.
Gradually, all the radiation sources entered the box. Sensing that the temperature of the spacecraft shell was rapidly weakening and the radiation intensity was also rapidly decreasing, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and reopened the previously closed instruments.
The radiation source capture plan was successful.
At this time, Xiao Yu was already 600,000 kilometers away from Jupiter.
Xiao Yu breathed a huge sigh of relief. While maneuvering the spacecraft to quickly leave Jupiter, he also controlled the instruments and began to analyze these strange radiation sources that showed certain characteristics of life.
At this time, these radiation sources were densely packed on the inner wall of the metal box, refusing to leave for a moment, as if there was something outside the box attracting them.
"Through the previous phenomena, it can be basically determined that they have instincts and intelligence similar to those of living creatures. They should not have any, otherwise they would not be so stupid. So, let's assume that they are living creatures, but what exactly is on my spaceship?
Something attracts them?"
Xiao Yu thought quietly, "Before the destruction of the earth, humans also launched several Jupiter probes, but they never encountered such strange creatures. In other words, these creatures were created in the near future, well, the most likely scenario
It was created after the collision between Jupiter and the Moon."
Xiao Yu analyzed it slowly, clues flashing through his mind.
"What on earth is there that is not on Jupiter but is on my spacecraft? It must be something like this that attracts them, causing them to swarm towards me like a swarm of bloodthirsty locusts."
Xiao Yu confirmed this speculation.
"No matter, let's lock them up first. After we get to Titan and establish a stable base, we will analyze these guys."
After finally getting through this big crisis, Xiao Yu felt like seeing the light of day again, and at the same time he felt a truth more deeply.
The universe is endless, and even in a small solar system, there are so many incomprehensible beings. In the face of the great nature, it is better to remain in awe.
At the same time, Xiao Yu also knew that he was no longer the only creature in the solar system. At least, there were hundreds of suspected creatures accompanying him in the boxes in his spaceship.
While assessing the damage caused to him by this encounter, Xiao Yu slowly accelerated the speed of the spacecraft. Suddenly, Xiao Yu noticed something unusual.
"Huh?" Xiao Yu pointed the detection equipment at the box in a strange way. Looking at the data fed back, Xiao Yu was surprised.
The original hundreds of chaotic radiation sources disappeared, replaced by a single radiation source that was hundreds of times more powerful than the previous individual radiation sources!
These radiation sources merge into one.
Fortunately, even if it merges into one, its total radiation intensity is not greater than when it was dispersed before, but seems to have decreased slightly. So this box can still continue to confine it.
But Xiao Yu noticed some strange changes.
The metal material of this box seems to have changed a little under the influence of this weird radiation source.
Xiao Yu's heart tightened and he immediately started analyzing the box.
It seems... its density has become a little larger, the molecules are arranged more densely, and the temperature outside the box is gradually decreasing, and the radiation that can be detected outside the box is also gradually decreasing. This means that the box will have more
Heat and radiation are blocked inside the box. This shows that the metal materials that make up the box have enhanced heat insulation and radiation resistance for some special reasons.
Xiao Yu was refreshed and immediately controlled the robot to cut some material from the outer wall of the box, took it to the laboratory and started testing.
The test results came out quickly. The results showed that in this short period of time, the thermal insulation performance and radiation resistance of the metal materials making up the box increased by 50 and 45 percentage points respectively! At the same time, its
The flexibility and impact resistance have also improved significantly.
"I didn't expect that these weird things are still treasures." Xiao Yu marveled for a long time. The magic of the creation of the universe once again brought him great shock.
Previously, there were two reasons that restricted Xiao Yu's true interstellar travel. One was the problem of power, and the other was the problem of material technology. The problem of power has already been solved. As long as the barrier to controllable nuclear fusion is broken, the problem of power will be solved.
will be perfectly solved, and now, Xiao Yu has also seen the dawn of a solution in material technology!
Although we have only seen some signs now and are still far from a complete solution, we at least see hope. It can be said that if Xiao Yu cannot solve the problem of material technology, Xiao Yu will always be in a situation where a small meteorite can solve the problem.
With Xiao Yu's life taken, it is simply unbelievable to launch an interstellar voyage that can take hundreds or even thousands of years in such a state.
Moreover, if the problem of material technology is not solved, Xiao Yu's spacecraft will always remain small in size, and will never be able to land directly on a planet. Otherwise, as soon as it approaches the planet, its gravity will tear the entire spacecraft into pieces, and even if it lands,
On the planet, Xiao Yu will never be able to fly again.
This is the shackles of materials technology. Now that materials technology has also been solved, how can Xiao Yu not be excited?
"As the saying goes, every loss must have a gain. Now it seems that my interstellar navigation plan is very promising." Xiao Yu thought excitedly, "I just have to wait until I land on Titan, and then build a large-scale base to transfer all new
After the technology is researched, we will then develop a new generation of interstellar spacecraft and set off towards Tianyuan IV!"
At the same time, Xiao Yu began to consider whether to return to Jupiter and try to capture some of these strange radiation sources. After all, with the characteristic of improving material performance, the value of these radiation sources is not ordinary.
Just when his heart was about to stir, Xiao Yu suddenly observed a collection of radiation sources hundreds of times more powerful than the previous hundreds of radiation sources, and they were showing a blue shift!
Blue shift means that they are approaching Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu's current speed has reached 60 kilometers per second relative to the sun, and 70 kilometers per second relative to Jupiter.
.According to calculations, the speed of these radiation source collections is at least 80 kilometers per second relative to Jupiter!
There are at least tens of thousands of single radiation sources! With such intensity, no matter how Xiao Yu plans or prevents, it will not have any effect. If he is caught up by these radiation sources, Xiao Yu will definitely be melted immediately.
It fell off and became an interstellar meteorite wandering in the vast universe forever.
Xiao Yu was so frightened that he flew out of the sky. He immediately put aside his plan to return to Jupiter and recapture some radiation sources. He started accelerating again and flew towards Saturn in a hurry.
After watching the blue shift gradually disappear and making sure that he had escaped the pursuit of these weird Jupiter creatures, Xiao Yu calmed down and thought bitterly: "Anyway, I have captured some radiation sources. After arriving at Titan,
After developing controllable nuclear fusion technology, and breaking through the shackles of material technology, I will definitely come back and catch you all!"
