Vol 7 Chapter 521: Neutron star observation program

Days passed day after day.

The busy preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner. Now that the cooperative relationship with the Tuos civilization has been settled, people must discuss the general cooperation plan in this period of time.

After scientific discussion, it was found that people's current scientific and technological strength is far from being able to survive the neutron star collision. They must use the interstellar trading market to make their civilization a leap.

The 1,000 amoeba points on hand have become the most important life-saving straw.

"Mr. Madam, after demonstrating, we found that it is necessary to observe the collision of neutron stars at a distance within 120-200 astronomical units in order to obtain more accurate data."

The physicist standing on the stage, named Needham, simulated the entire neutron star collision in an electronic computer.

"However, 120 astronomical units are too close. Our equipment will most likely be destroyed at that moment."

"Once the device is destroyed, how do we get data? Our device must completely observe the process of two neutron stars colliding, turning into a quark star, and finally turning into a black hole ..."

Zhang Yuan frowned, thoughtfully. In theory, 120 astronomical units is already a fairly large number.

How far is the Sun from Pluto?

There are only 49 astronomical units.

At 49 astronomical units at this distance, Pluto's sunlight is very weak, and its surface temperature is only minus 201.11 degrees Celsius.

Well, 120 astronomical units is a greater distance ...

but!

This distance is compared to the most violent disaster gamma-ray explosion in the universe, which is equivalent to a nuclear bomb of one million tons equivalent, and a distance of about one centimeter outside the crater after the explosion!

How to defend, even for a minute or two, is a big problem.

"So it's the best way. Human beings can find a planet that can shield the wind and rain for observation equipment."

The mass of a planet is undoubtedly much larger than that of a spacecraft, and it can also ensure that the equipment can keep running for a longer time.

However, this kind of thing is a small probability event. Who can guarantee that human beings can just find a planet around 120 astronomical units?

The Sedna star of the solar system is estimated to be about 76 astronomical units and 937 astronomical points, respectively. The orbit from the sun is an ellipse and fluctuates.

That is, the distance can only be controlled by establishing a planetary engine on this planet and controlling its orbit.

Professor Needham said with a little excitement: "... Let me introduce the general plan. After we reach that star field, we must take the lead to observe whether the neutron star will immediately collide. If the two neutron stars are in a They will collide in a few decades. They haven't even given us time to build. Let's run first. It's impossible to lose our lives! "

"It's just that all the money we paid was gone, and the war star of the Thai civilization will eventually return to the trading market. It has already been discussed. It is no problem to let this war star carry us back for free."

There was a loud noise from the audience, some people thought it was a little funny, and others just shook their heads helplessly.

There is no way to calculate this, everything can only rely on the luck in the deep.

"Of course, in a high probability situation, if two neutron stars will not collide immediately, this scale will not collide within 10,000 years. Our two civilizations will choose to build two battle stars."

"These battle stars are not used to live, but for experiments. Only the most basic mobility is required, and the rest are not required."

On the screen, he drew a circle on the periphery of the two neutron stars: "We need to build two star-level fortresses. Place a planetary fortress at 120 astronomical units for astronomical observation."

Then he drew another small circle: "Another planet fortress, after all the work is done, try to hook the neutron star collision ... just like this."

Compared with a neutron star, a planet has a small gravity, but still has a certain gravity, and can form a simple three-body motion with two neutron stars that rotate rapidly.

Trisomy is an unstable movement that accelerates the time it takes for a neutron star to collide.

According to computer simulations, this planet passed the planetary engine and constantly interfered with the motion of the neutron star. After approaching the neutron star to a certain extent, it was immediately torn by the violent gravitational force, and then various substances fell onto the neutron star at a sub-light speed. Generate a super powerful explosion. At the same time, the orbits of the neutron stars are disturbed, and the collision time will be shortened.

"This is a fairly rough plan in the imagination, and it may be adjusted to a certain degree according to local conditions."

"Professor, I have a question." A reporter-like man raised his hand and asked, "Can the collision time of a neutron star be accurately predicted? What if the calculation is not accurate?"

Needham nodded affirmatively: "" If it is a double star movement, of course, it can be more accurate prediction! "

In the absence of external force interference, the high-speed rotation of the two neutron stars will consume energy in the form of gravitational radiation and magnetic field radiation. "

Under normal circumstances, two small **** attract each other in space, forming an equilibrium state that rotates at a high speed with each other. It seems that there is no energy loss and can go around forever.

But for ultra-high-quality neutron stars, the space distorted by gravity is like water waves, which has a great resistance to its own movement. Slowly, after the kinetic energy is lost to a certain degree, the two neutron stars "snap" Collided together.

Of course, for stars, any scale is based on millions of years. There is a possibility that they will collide together in one second. It may take another one million years, or even 100 million years. .

"In short, as long as two neutron stars are observed at close range, we can calculate their approximate collision time. If one million years really happens, we will not wait for one million years ... Consuming one Planet fortress, to accelerate the neutron star collision, is also a good result. "

This is a big amazing masterpiece!

Many people are stunned ~ www.readwn.com ~ According to human's current productivity, it will take thousands of years for a planet to have preliminary power, just to accelerate the neutron star collision?

Zhang Yuan sat under the stage and pondered carefully that this meticulous plan is by far the largest project for mankind. Even if the two civilizations cooperate, it may last thousands of years.

For the entire new human civilization, it is a huge challenge in faith, technology and personal safety.

Internal mobilization must be done well, and foreign diplomacy work must be done well.

Cooperating with the Tuos civilization is a problem that is not handled properly and will be a better choice. A civilization built a battle star directly reduces the amount of engineering by half. What's more, the success rate of two civilizations defending cosmic disasters will be greater.

This is a huge challenge, not just a technological level challenge, but also a spiritual level challenge ... It is difficult to fully predict the future. Can a human being complete a plan that lasts for thousands of years?
