I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 573 Finding the way to the cosmic beacon

Indeed, our observation distance is limited now, and we haven't found any valuable targets, but when the observation time is long, I believe we will be able to find a lot of beacons! Kuafu said confidently.

Yeah, our main task is to confirm the cosmic location of the small black hole body, so the importance of the beacon is very important. It can be the extragalactic galaxies we observe from the earth, which allows us to confirm the approximate location.

But for accurate positioning, we still have to rely on very easy-to-resolve beacons like pulsars. As long as we can find enough pulsars, and then compare the data of pulsars we observe from the earth, we can accurately You know where the body of the little black hole is! Lei Tiantang smiled and agreed with Kuafu.

The universe is vast, with countless galaxies and celestial bodies. Humans have been shocked by the mystery and vastness of the universe since they walked out of the earth, and at the same time, they have also stimulated the enthusiasm of human beings to explore the universe.

However, due to the current limitations of human technology, the area that the spacecraft can reach is very limited, which also makes it impossible for us to send spacecraft and probes to the distant depths of the universe.

However, human beings have used their own wisdom to invent the astronomical telescope. With the astronomical telescope, we can observe the galaxies and celestial bodies in the depths of the distant universe, and see some mysteries of the universe. With the help of the astronomical telescope, human beings can understand the universe. Also more and more.

In the process of observing the universe, we found that there are some mysterious and special celestial bodies in the universe, such as neutron stars, pulsars, black holes, etc., and Lei Tiantang is most concerned about the role of pulsars.

A pulsar is a very special kind of celestial body in the universe. It can rotate at a high speed by itself, and at the same time, it can also emit very regular radio signals while rotating.

You must know that in our cognition, objects that can emit regular radio signals are likely to come from alien civilizations!

Humans first received this radio signal and thought it was a civilization signal sent by an alien civilization to humans, but in the end, it was discovered that these regular radio signals came from this celestial body called a pulsar. From then on, the pulsar entered. In the vision of scientists, scientists also look for more pulsars through various methods.

A pulsar can emit radio signals, and the most powerful tool to find it is a radio telescope. The function of a radio telescope is to receive radio signals from the universe.

Through the observation of these radio telescopes, humans have discovered a lot of pulsars, which also shows that pulsars are not very rare celestial bodies in the universe, and their number is still very large.

This also confuses many people even more.

What could this pulsar be? Is it really just a natural celestial body? How did it form and why is it able to emit regular radio signals?

This series of problems is the reason why scientists are becoming more and more interested in pulsars. It is necessary to know that there are countless cosmic celestial bodies, and celestial bodies that can rotate at high speed and continuously emit regular radio signals have only seen pulsars. The situation can easily make people think of man-made objects.

Some people believe that pulsars are a kind of road sign built by advanced civilizations in the universe, the purpose is to navigate the spacecraft so as not to get lost in the universe.

We know that the reason why people on earth can drive without getting lost is inseparable from the help of road signs and navigation. If there is no road sign and no navigation, I believe that most drivers will get lost and can’t find the correct road when they go out for a long distance. .

In the past, when there was no satellite navigation, it mainly relied on setting up signs at various important intersections, so that drivers and cars would not get lost. Now with satellite navigation, no matter where you go anywhere on the earth, you will basically never get lost.

A small earth is inseparable from navigation, and in the vast universe with no boundaries, if there is no navigation, the spacecraft cannot navigate at all, and it is easy to get lost in the vast universe. You must know that the universe is not so bright, there are total darkness. Humans are still unable to get out of the solar system, just wandering around in the solar system, naturally they do not need any powerful navigation.

But once the speed of human spacecraft can reach the speed of light in the future, with the ability of interstellar navigation, the distance that can be flown will be very far. At that time, how can we travel in the universe without getting lost?

That will definitely require some cosmic navigation equipment. The cosmic distance is measured in light-years, and with objects as road signs, it is believed that spaceships a few light-years away will not be able to see it, but the propagation speed of radio signals can reach the speed of light, so that the speed of propagation can be fast. And far away, it can be quickly received by the spacecraft, and the current cosmic position can be determined through the indication of these signals.

We can think of pulsars as navigators set up by advanced civilizations in various locations in the universe. Its high-speed rotation is actually producing energy. With energy, it can continuously send navigation signals to the outside world, which is equivalent to a self-contained generator. With electricity and energy, it can work non-stop.

The signals sent by each pulsar are different. In fact, it indicates the current cosmic coordinates, so that the spacecraft can understand which region and which galaxy the spacecraft is traveling to when it receives the signals from these pulsars.

This characteristic of pulsars is the reason why Lei Tiantang and Kuafu attach so much importance to them. For this reason, there will be a separate radio telescope in this astronomical telescope. Its goal is to find these pulsars that can be positioned in the universe. the beacon!

This depends on our luck and time. If we are lucky, we will be able to find familiar pulsars, just like the sun engraved on the gold disk carried by Voyager 1 relative to the center of the Milky Way and 14 pulsars The location of the stars, if they can be found, then the location of the small black hole can be quickly determined!

If you are unlucky, you can only use time to slowly accumulate data. You must know that until now, we humans have only a few thousand pulsar data. If you want to use them as beacons, luck If it is not good, it will be troublesome to compare!

Therefore, the radio telescope on the side of the small black hole must work hard to find pulsars, and we must work harder to find more pulsars on the earth, so that when there is enough data in our pulsar database, I believe we can always find them. Matching beacons with each other, thus confirming the location of the small black hole!

And I think this data, when our deep space laboratory launches all the 8 high-power radio telescopes we plan to launch into space, there will be very big gains!
