Judging from the last information transmitted by the quantum communication device, the current black hole detector is still a certain distance from the black hole event horizon.
In theory, in this case, electromagnetic wave communication will not be affected.
Electromagnetic waves propagating at the speed of light must be able to break free from the gravitational pull of black holes and transmit information to the United Fleet.
Therefore, if the electromagnetic wave communication device is also affected by the image, it means that under the influence of some factors, the black hole detector has been destroyed.
"Communication is being established, please wait..."
Zero responded.
Because of the time deceleration effect, establishing a communication link has also become a difficult task.
"Professor, do you think it might be caused by the tidal effect?"
He Bilin's voice came again: "This is a small black hole, and its tidal effect cannot be underestimated."
The so-called tidal effect, simply speaking, when an object falls into a black hole, the end close to the black hole will receive a stronger force than the end far away from the black hole, which will make the near end fall towards the black hole faster, so the entire object will Torn apart.
As a result, as a black hole devours a star or planet, it tends to pull it into a long noodle—this is known as spaghettiization.
Large black holes, on the other hand, are far more benign in this respect.
Compared with small black holes, the tidal effect of super-large black holes is much weaker. Therefore, when humans fall into a large enough black hole, if they are lucky enough, they may be able to spend the rest of their lives in the black hole.
Facing He Bilin's question, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and then slowly shook his head.
He stretched out his hand and dragged a holographic image, called up a calculation data and said, "Look."
"This is the calculated data before launching the black hole detector."
"Through the information sent by these black hole detectors just before they lost contact, we can roughly calculate their locations."
"According to calculations, the tidal force at that location is not enough to tear it apart."
He Bilin's expression changed instantly.
He suddenly realized the meaning behind Lu Yongchang's words!
"Then you mean..."
"That's right." Lu Yongchang's eyes showed deep worry, "All the clues seem to point in one direction."
"If the traditional electromagnetic wave communication method is also affected, all black hole detectors will lose contact at the same time..."
"Then, these detectors are very likely to have encountered an attack from a higher civilization."
He Bilin subconsciously held his breath.
"This, how is this possible..."
"A civilization living near a black hole, this, how powerful this must be!"
"Even the sweeper civilization may not be able to live near a black hole, right?!"
Lu Yongchang was silent for a while, then responded in a low voice.
"Who knows?"
"Perhaps, does such a powerful civilization really exist?"
"Everything depends on the response of the electromagnetic wave communication device."
As he spoke, Lu Yongchang raised his head and looked worriedly at the bright white characters that were slowly beating in the blue projection.
ps: It’s the Lantern Festival tonight, so I don’t have time to write, please take a leave of absence.
Continue to add more tomorrow!
Chapter 641 [Kunpeng]
"drop!"
"drop!!"
In the silent laboratory, apart from the breathing of the academicians, only the beeping from the loudspeaker remained.
During the holographic projection, the bright white text remained unchanged.
Zero is still trying to re-establish communication with several black hole detectors by means of electromagnetic waves.
but……
As time passed bit by bit, the hope in everyone's hearts was also fading little by little.
"call……"
After Lu Yongchang sighed deeply, his lips moved, and he said in a low voice: "It seems that these black hole detectors have been..."
"The first black hole detector has successfully switched the radio communication module."
Zero's electronically synthesized voice interrupted Lu Yongchang's unfinished words.
Lu Yongchang was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, the electronically synthesized voice came again.
"The second black hole detector and the third black hole detector have successfully switched radio modules."
At the same time, on the azure blue holographic projection, the originally dim signs brightened up again.
"Professor! It's a success!" He Bilin's excited voice was mixed with Zero's electronically synthesized voice, and came from the side, "The detector has not been destroyed!"
"The [event form] theory is right!"
Lu Yongchang stared blankly at the slowly beating data byte by byte in the holographic projection, and a complex emotion emerged from the bottom of his heart.
On the one hand, he felt a little lucky.
The black hole detector was not destroyed, which means that the human fleet did not encounter the so-called advanced civilization living around the black hole.
This alone is lucky enough for human civilization!
But on the other hand……
"Yeah, the [event form] theory is right."
He nodded slightly, and sighed with relief: "In the quantum long-distance communication device, under the action of a strong gravitational field, the entangled quantum pairs will be lost probabilistically."
While speaking, there was a hint of sadness in the depths of his eyes.
"In this way, we still need to develop a new communication technology."
"Otherwise, after entering the curvature voyage, every starship may become a blind man smearing progress in the vast universe."
Hearing this, the excitement on He Bilin's face gradually dissipated.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly whispered, "Professor, do you still remember the abnormal data last time?"
"What?" Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he asked softly, "Did you find any problems?"
He Bilin hesitated for a while: "I have a little guess, but I'm not sure."
"The three sets of data samples are too small, and only more data can verify this guess."
Lu Yongchang pouted towards the progress bar slowly advancing in the holographic projection.
"Here, the second set of data has started to be transmitted again."
"Wait a minute."
……
Not the slightest surprise.
The second gravitational field control experiment was also a great success.
In the case of a large increase in the strength of the artificial gravitational field, the curvature of space-time also increases rapidly.
Although it is not as good as the extreme space-time curvature of a black hole, [Gravity] still created a space-time curvature comparable to a medium-sized star in a short period of time.
Thanks to this, under the order of Lu Yongchang, the research on the curvature engine officially kicked off.
……
People's United Fleet, Curvature Engine Laboratory.
Like the [Gravity], in order to minimize the influence of surrounding celestial bodies, and to ensure the safety of the fleet, the curvature engine laboratory is also placed in a large starship.
This mobile laboratory transformed from the [Glutton] material storage ship was given a meaningful name.
【Kunpeng】
"Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to [-] miles."
Watching the completed [Kunpeng] curvature engine mobile laboratory carrying several engineering ships and several [Glutton] material storage ships slowly leave the HUF factory, Lu Yongchang muttered to himself with deep eyes: " I hope that one day, it can lead human civilization into a new era."
"Certainly possible."
Fang Xu's voice came from the side: "Professor, the artificial gravity laboratory has encountered difficulties."
"To generate a gravitational field of consistent strength within the scope of the starship... the difficulty is beyond our imagination."
"The current gravitational field generating device is not capable of such fine manipulation."
"Also, we don't have a good plan to block the propagation of the gravitational field, which means..."
"It means that the gravitational field will dissipate out of the starship and affect the surrounding starships." Lu Yongchang's tone became serious, "If you master the gravitational shield technology in the future, it will also greatly affect the strength of the gravitational shield .”
As he said that, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Of course, according to the current gravitational field generating device, it is not a simple matter to realize the gravitational shield."
Fang Xu was silent for a while, and then said again: "Professor, do you have any good suggestions?"
"I?"
"I don't know either." Lu Yongchang shook his head decisively, but quickly nodded hesitantly, "But my intuition tells me."
"perhaps……"
Lu Yongchang turned his head to look at the black hole accretion disk that had almost disappeared outside the porthole, and said softly, "The answer lies in those abnormal data."
There was a hint of doubt in Fang Xu's eyes: "Professor, do you have the answer?"
"Have a clue."
Lu Yongchang nodded noncommittally: "It's not just me, He Bilin should have thought of it too."
"It's just that there are too few data samples to make an accurate judgment."
"Everything will not be known until the second set of data transmission is completed."
Hearing this, Fang Xu nodded with a half understanding.
Chapter 642 Time and Space Waves!
time flies.
Driven by the antimatter engine, the distance between [Kunpeng] and the fleet and the black hole keeps increasing.
The first experiments on curvature navigation were also carried out.
It can be determined that curvature navigation is related to gravity.
But what is the specific association method, not to mention the academicians of the Academy of Sciences, even Lu Yongchang is at a loss.
As for the help of the technology tree space...
Perhaps because the accumulated experience and experimental data are not rich enough, even with the help of the overclocking function of the quantum brain, Lu Yongchang could not determine the specific research direction in the sea of inspiration.
Therefore, human civilization at this moment is like a pedestrian crossing a river by groping for stones.
We can only rely on experiments again and again to accumulate experience and deduce the next direction step by step.
"The first curvature experiment, start now."
As Lu Yongchang's voice echoed in the "Earth", according to the experimental plan, Zero began to control the scientific research robot to perform corresponding operations.
[Kunpeng] In the mobile laboratory, there is a specially improved second-generation gravitational field generator.
Compared with ordinary second-generation gravitational field generators, this one has higher control accuracy, and the range of gravitational field generation can also be controlled within a relatively small range.
But correspondingly, the strength of the gravitational field has been weakened to a certain extent.
Therefore, it is not yet a third-generation product, but at best a 2.5-generation product.
Under Zero's control, the pure energy from the antimatter engine was sent into the complex piping system, and the gravitational field began to slowly increase.
The subject of the experiment is a small ball with an extremely light mass.
Under the action of the magnetic field, it quietly floats in the central area of the vacuum experiment cabin.
