I am a great scientist

Chapter 577 Unknown Attack

In the dark universe, one hundred fourth-generation "Xuanwu" ships quickly entered the state of sublight flight, like a streamer, constantly flying away from the gravitational influence of the stars at a speed of 23 kilometers per second, and began to enter the state of curvature flight.

The diameter of the gravity of a general star system is tens of billions of kilometers, and the distance to the next star system is hundreds of thousands of light years
Due to the uncertainty of the existence of the 'wormhole', the 'Xuanwu' fleet could not take advantage of this shortcut. Therefore, it developed another path, using the gravitational field, developed a super curvature engine, and embarked on the direction of curvature flight.

Navigating by using the gravitational field to bend the curvature of the space-time line of sight is not too profound aeronautical technology, but it requires a huge amount of energy to change the structure of the gravitational field.

A single gravitational field is like a celestial gravitational field, and the curvature of space-time is the same in all aspects and angles. This kind of space-time is like the water surface in front of a lake drops, and the water surface on the left and right behind it also drops synchronously. In the end, it is relatively unchanged. , and cannot propel the boat to move.

The curvature engine creates a large-area gravitational field collapse effect. After multiple gravitational fields interfere with each other and superimpose, the multiple gravitational fields finally form an irregular gravitational field that can change the curvature of space-time in a certain direction..., through the curvature of the field Change, to change the path of the spaceship, and finally, to break through the space limit of the speed of light and enter another level of space navigation state. On the surface, it is a super-light flight, but in fact, it is a space flight in essence. , rather than superluminal flight in the true sense.

The "basalt" fleet that entered the curvature navigation, twisted the space and moved forward at an extremely high speed. Although the speed is far from being comparable to the convenience of traveling through wormholes, it is still sailing through space, and the speed is far faster than that of light in a static space. double the speed.

The stars turn around, time flies, and half a year passes in the blink of an eye.

The Xuanwu Fleet suddenly broke free from the state of curvature sailing, and the alarm sounded loudly in the command room of the Xuanwu flagship.

"Alarm, arrived near the star cluster, found abnormal energy fluctuations ahead, immediately terminate the curvature navigation, wake up the commander!"

"Alarm, arrived near the star cluster, found abnormal energy fluctuations ahead, immediately terminate the curvature navigation, wake up the commander!"

……

Zhou Xiaozhi's sharp voice echoed in the flagship command room, and not long after, there was a 'chi chi' sound in the dormant room, and the thick dormant hatches opened, emitting bursts of thick mist.

Zhou Yu opened his eyes, woke up from hibernation, and was soon helped out of the hibernation cabin by two serving robots standing by.

"What happened? Have we arrived at the destination?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaozhi standing in front of it in puzzlement, and asked weakly.

"Commander, the fleet has not yet arrived at the destination. However, abnormal energy fluctuations have been detected ahead. If the curvature navigation continues, it may be affected and lead to the destruction of the entire army." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yuhui's report.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiaozhi released a holographic screen in front of Zhou Yu. On the screen, a vast starry sky emerged. The star cluster directly in front of him was the brightest and most dazzling. It was the collision of dense interstellar dust particles in the nebula, which led to a magical phenomenon.

Under the high-speed impact of the particles, a large number of X-rays are emitted.Along with the X-rays, there is also light in the visible light band. This kind of light shows a faint pink color, dyeing the starry sky in front of it into a red cloud. At the same time, unusually powerful light bursts occur from time to time. However, the field of vision is obstructed by the pink 'nebula layer', so it is difficult to see what is happening in the depths.

The scene in front of him immediately attracted Zhou Yu's attention. He stood up straight with the help of two serving robots, and ordered: "Stop advancing immediately."

"Obey, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi complied, and immediately, the Xuanwu Fleet turned off the engine propellers and slowly slowed down their flight speed.

"Abnormal energy fluctuations, have you confirmed the cause? What happened inside the UC22 star cluster?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked.

"There is a lack of effective observation data, and the reason cannot be determined for the time being. There is a 75% chance that it is caused by the violent activity of the star system inside the star cluster!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and replied.

"I don't know?" Zhou Yu frowned and murmured to himself, with a dignified expression on everyone's face.

There is no room for sloppy and reckless voyages in the interstellar space. In the event of an accident, the ship fleet will be damaged at least, and the ship will be destroyed at worst. In the entire strange galaxy, there is no possibility of escape.

"Xiaozhi, how about bypassing the UC22 star cluster? How long is it expected to take?" Zhou Yu thought for a long time, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and asked.

"It's possible to bypass the star cluster, but the area covered by the star cluster in front is too wide. If we make a detour, it will take at least 5-7 times longer for the fleet to reach the destination." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yuhui's report.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's face darkened slightly. In order to avoid causing trouble for the "Tinder" literary star, he deliberately selected a galaxy more than 400 light-years away. The time spent on this curvature voyage is already very long. double the time, it's worth it! "

"Commander, otherwise, we can change other directions, such as the TN232 galaxy, or here, the XYB111 galaxy,..." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and suggested.

Zhou Yu frowned, a little dissatisfied. The two galaxies that Zhou Xiaozhi pointed out were not ideal targets. One was too far away, and the other was because there were few planets: "There are no suitable alternative targets?"

"Commander, the other nearby galaxies are all single stars. The suitable star system is too far away from us. The nearest galaxy is 2-3 times the size of the original target." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and replied.

Zhou Yu looked at the holographic screen and frowned: "Xiaozhi, can we pass through this star cluster? Is it too risky?"

"Commander, there are 12 stars in this star cluster, and they are very close to each other, forming a complex traction structure. The largest star is this star, which I call an A-class star. To pass through this star map, the most It’s better to pass through the edge of star A.” Zhou Xiaozhi explained in detail to the structure diagram inside the wandering warrior’s star map.

Zhou Yu frowned, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Zhou Xiaozhi: "Commander, from the analysis of the particle structure, the nebula energy particles covered by this layer of star clusters are not violent, and the shield of the spaceship is enough to resist their invasion. However, I call the stars inside the star cluster B stars. Its color is yellowish-white. This color indicates that its surface temperature is higher. Correspondingly, its mass is also relatively large, with a diameter of about 1.279 million kilometers. There are 11 planets revolving around it in the inner planetary system, but the orbit is now in an unstable state..., the planetary system in this galaxy is bad, and there should be no intelligent civilization. Therefore, as long as you pay attention to the changes in the status of the stars, you should not There will be other dangers."

According to different surface temperatures, stars will show different colors, from low to high, followed by red, yellow, white, blue.Generally speaking, the higher the surface temperature of the star, the greater the mass, but it is not absolute.For example, a red giant star is also red in color, but it can be many times larger than a red dwarf star.It appears red because it reaches the end of its life, expands in size, and cools down.

The B star in the star cluster is a yellow-white star. Generally speaking, the orbits of the planets orbiting the star are predictable. For example, the distance between the earth and the sun at a certain time of the year is Fixed, even if there is an error, it can be ignored, which leads to the stability of the earth's orbit.But the planets in this galaxy are not.At a certain point in time during one revolution around the star, there is often a big change between the previous week and this week.This means its orbit is extremely unstable.Apparently, this instability is due to gravitational perturbations from the rest of the stars.

"Are you sure there is no intelligent life? What happened to those abnormal energy lasings? Why do I feel something is wrong." Zhou Yu frowned and looked at the star map displayed on the holographic screen, seriously doubting.

"Commander, that is the occasional explosion of material transfer between stars, most of which are the process of transferring from other stars to the central star. This star cluster continues to run in this state. After hundreds of millions of years, they may eventually produce a supernova explosion. Condensed into a giant star!" Zhou Xiaozhi deduced the result and reported to Zhou Yuhui.

After Zhou Xiaozhi's introduction, Zhou Yu's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "What a miraculous celestial phenomenon!"

It seems that it is right to leave the ethnic group for an interstellar voyage, otherwise, how could it be possible to observe this kind of magical astronomical imagination at close range. For a while, Zhou Yu felt relaxed and happy, and became full of pride. This is the life he dreamed of!
"Then what are you waiting for? Since the risk is not too great, start immediately and pass through this star cluster with the fastest efficiency." Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered.

"Understood, Commander, but there is something I need to report to you in advance. Since the star cluster's star explosion state is too complicated, curvature navigation is not possible, otherwise we will not be able to escape if something happens. Therefore, we can only maintain sublight speed navigation." Zhou Xiaozhi Watching Zhou Yuhui's report.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's complexion changed, and he asked quickly, "Then how long will it take us to pass this star map?"

"About 3-5 months. If there are other unexpected changes, this period may be extended." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and reported uncertainly.

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, finally unable to resist the temptation to explore this star cluster, he ordered to Zhou Xiaozhi: "Go ahead! Pay attention to record the data of all the stars in this star cluster."

"Understood, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi took the order, and immediately, the flight speed of the Xuanwu Fleet suddenly increased, and they kept approaching the star cluster.

Since there is no diffuse reflection in the universe, when matter in the universe, whether it is a planet or a spaceship, is close to a star, the side facing the star is day, and the side facing away from the star is night.But after this star cluster, there is no such thing as a night.Regardless of whether it is front or back, front or rear, left or right, the Xuanwu Fleet is all illuminated by these stars.

As time went by, the Xuanwu Fleet gradually flew into the star cluster and visited this mysterious world.

Soon, a giant planet surrounding an A-class star came into Zhou Yu's eyes.

Sensing Zhou Yu's attention, Zhou Xiaozhi immediately displayed the structure, parameters, and shape of the entire planet on the command screen.

Zhou Yu widened his eyes and saw the structure of this planet clearly, and had to marvel at the magic of the universe again.

The surface of this planet presents a black crystal-like smooth ground, with almost no big ups and downs, no mountains, no valleys, and the whole is extremely smooth, like a black glass ball, shining with a dark luster.

"What's going on? How did this planet become like this?" Zhou Yu looked at the planet in front of him, and asked Zhou Xiaozhi in puzzlement.

"Commander, those black surfaces are all melted rocks. In the past time, they have been close to the star countless times, and then they were burned by the huge heat of the star, causing the rocky surface to be melted away. Then, when they were far away from the star, It cools and condenses again, until the next time it gets close to the star, it continues to be melted..., in the process of repeated condensation, melting, condensation, and melting, all the geological details on its surface are erased, so it finally becomes It became like this."

"This planet does not have any atmosphere. Even if it had an atmosphere when it first formed, it would be stripped away by the star. Just like now, it is at least about 7 million away from star A, which is less than half the distance between the earth and the sun. The upper star A is very active, and at such a short distance, even the Earth’s atmosphere thicker than 1oop kilometers will be completely stripped off in tens of thousands of years.” Zhou Xiaozhi deduced the orbit of the planet and explained to Zhou Yu .

Under the illumination of star A, the temperature on its surface reaches about [-] degrees Celsius, and the rocky surface exudes a dim red light, like a terrifying lava hell, shining with a dark luster that chooses to devour people.

"The environment is so harsh, this planet should not be able to form intelligent life." Zhou Yu showed a look of surprise, sighed, and continued to tell Zhou Xiaozhi: "Look at the conditions of other planets."

"Obey, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi complied, and immediately, other planets appeared one after another on the commanding screen.

The shapes of these planets are similar, and they have been devastated by the star clusters in this star cluster, which makes their surface colors tend to be heavy and lustrous. They are either shiny red, scary black, or even bright silver planets. It was polished into a metal spherical surface, reflecting a dazzling silver luster.

Just when Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and was intoxicated, a silver light flashed suddenly on the command screen, and a silver light beam shot at them from the silver planet at a rapid speed.

"Encountered an attack from an unknown enemy, encountered an attack from an unknown enemy!..." Zhou Xiaozhi reminded loudly.

"The fleet is evasive immediately, the defensive state, the maximum power output of the energy defense cover, Xiaozhi, find the enemy quickly!" Zhou Yu ordered resolutely in the face of danger

"Obey, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi immediately followed the order.
