Super Battleship Reborn

Hearing what Taihao said, Xiao Yu's mind immediately tensed up.

What exactly is an information storm? How should I observe it? Xiao Yu asked hurriedly.

It's really troublesome, but because you helped me find a big fish, I'll help you again. Taihao said, and as soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu felt a piece of information entered his mind .

Xiao Yu immediately began to interpret this message. In only a few millionths of a second, Xiao Yu had fully understood the meaning of this message.

So that's the case. After reading this message, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, let's start observing. Such a good opportunity really cannot be missed.

I have already left the stage of faster-than-light voyage and entered the routine voyage. This information storm is expected to last 0.5 seconds. Tai Hao said to Xiao Yu.

Until now, after reading this piece of information, Xiao Yu finally learned of the information storm that has plagued Xiao Yu for more than 20 years.

To explain information storms, we have to mention black holes. A black hole is a very extreme celestial body, and it is one of the possible destinations of a massive star after it dies.

According to the size of the mass, after the star dies, there will be several different types of endings. A star the size of the Sun dies in a more gradual manner towards the end of its life, forming a white dwarf after death. It's like the white dwarf that Xiao Yu once encountered.

More massive stars, at the end of their lives. A supernova explosion will occur, releasing energy billions of times or higher than that of the sun in an instant. After a supernova explodes, its core will form a neutron star.

Above the neutron star is a black hole. Black holes are more extreme celestial bodies than neutron stars. The surface escape velocity of neutron stars is generally about 150,000 kilometers per second, but the escape velocity of black holes exceeds the speed of light. That means. After any object enters the boundary of the event horizon of a black hole, it cannot escape again.

But in this way, it will bring a problem, that is, the loss of information. Matter itself will carry a lot of information, such as a meteorite, a table, they all carry a lot of information. Such as energy level, temperature, etc. If they cannot come out after entering the black hole, it means that the information they carry is lost.

This question has been bothering Xiao Yu before. Because the loss of information does not match the currently known theory. If the confirmation information will be completely lost for no reason, then Xiao Yu's existing theoretical system must be completely overthrown and restarted. If Xiao Yu's current theoretical system is not wrong, it means. There must be a way, or process, that would allow the black hole to spit out the information it swallowed.

Now, Xiao Yu knows what this process is. That is. Information storm.

It turns out that the information storm is like this... This has solved one of my big doubts. At least. My theory is still self-consistent enough so far, and it has not been crushed by the problem of information loss. Xiao Yu secretly rejoiced up.

In the information Taihao gave Xiao Yu, he did not explain too much about the rest of the related process, such as how the black hole died, the situation inside the black hole, how information is stored in the black hole, etc. In this information, It just means that at the end of the life of the black hole, after reaching a certain limit, the black hole will undergo a super violent explosion, and return to nothingness from then on. At that time, during its long life cycle, all the information it swallowed will emerge instantly, and sweep across several river systems through space.

Black holes have extremely long lifetimes, and larger black holes have longer lifetimes. This information storm is in the Andromeda galaxy,

A black hole with a mass of about 10,000 times the sun reached the end of its life due to some unknown reasons, exploded, and spit out all the information it swallowed during its lifespan of at least several billion years.

Every beam of light swallowed by it, every atom swallowed by it contains an extremely large amount of information. With the accumulation of billions of years, how terrifying will the total amount of information be? Xiao Yu didn't know. But Xiao Yu knew that with so much information, after the instant explosion was released, it was definitely a super terrifying existence.

Information storms mainly kill the souls of intelligent creatures. At the moment when the information storm arrives, a huge amount of information will instantly disperse the consciousness of intelligent creatures, leading to the death of intelligent creatures.

But the information storm has no entity after all, so it has no effect or only a very small effect on the first and second level civilizations that are relatively backward, have underdeveloped brains, and are not sensitive enough to receive information. It has no effect on the sixth-level civilization that has mastered the preliminary space technology. It has no effect on the alien civilization or the mechanical civilization. It only has a strong lethal effect on the third, fourth, and fifth-level civilizations, as well as the ghost race.

When he learned of this, Xiao Yu began to worry inexplicably in his heart.

I don't know what happened to my people... Can they escape this information storm?

Xiao Yu is also within the killing range of the information storm. Moreover, since Xiao Yu has no body and only relies on computers to survive, the lethal effect of the information storm on Xiao Yu is even stronger.

But risk also means opportunity. God knows what kind of information a black hole will collect during such a long lifespan. If a super civilization conducts certain experiments, and the light that records these experimental processes happens to be swallowed by this black hole, then its There are internal records about this experiment. If such information can be obtained, its benefits are self-evident.

Even if you don't have such good luck, but just collect the light of some stars, this is extremely useful information. With this information, Xiao Yu will be able to completely reproduce the complete evolution process of a star.

Without a mechanism like Information Storm, it would be almost impossible for Xiao Yu to complete such work. The lifespan of a star is often calculated in tens of millions of years. How could Xiao Yu observe for such a long time to collect data?

In short, there is a huge amount of information in the information storm, which will pose a great threat to intelligent creatures, but if we can avoid its damage and collect some information, there may be some unexpected gains .

After understanding the process, Xiao Yu quickly prepared to collect information.

The tools for collecting information are very simple, just some simple antennas. There are many antennas on Xiao Yu's spacecraft. What Xiao Yu has to do is to free up many hard drives in advance, and at the same time, protect the hard drives that store useful information to prevent them from being affected by information storms.

On this point, Taihao gave Xiao Yu great help. Once again, Taihao allowed Xiao Yu's fleet, including the Lucas, to enter the four-dimensional space, leaving only a few information-gathering spaceships in the three-dimensional space.

Before re-entering the four-dimensional space, Xiao Yu had already sent a message to the Luca stars: Next, you will enter the four-dimensional space. All Luca people who received the message should immediately stop all actions, no matter what they see. Stay calm and don't move.

It is very necessary to publish such a message. Three-dimensional objects are completely visible and unstoppable in four-dimensional space, which means that if a Lucan is curious about the internal structure of the same kind of body, if he reaches out and touches it, he may directly puncture a blood vessel , resulting in death.

The moment Xiao Yu released the information, countless Lucca people made a noise. At the same time, in the Paradise laboratory, Lucca scientists also fell into a heated discussion.

Four-dimensional space? Why are you not allowed to move? It's rare to have such an opportunity, so we naturally have to seize the time to observe and study it. If we can't move, wouldn't we have missed this good opportunity?

That is, such a good opportunity, even at the risk of death, cannot be missed.

Hearing these discussions, Xiao Yu once again issued a very strict order: I will complete all the observation tasks. After leaving the four-dimensional space, all observation data will be shared with all scientists. Anyone who does not obey the order will be expelled from the Paradise immediately. !

Under Xiao Yu's strict order, finally, the Lucca scientists reluctantly agreed.

After everything was arranged properly, Xiao Yu once again felt that strange sense of dizziness. The next moment, the familiar and bizarre world appeared in Xiao Yu's optical observation instrument again, and was transmitted to Xiao Yu's mind.

Xiao Yu already knew how ridiculous his previous thoughts were. He actually tried to hide behind a star, or developed a curved space shield, just to avoid the information storm.

Information storms use space as the carrier of transmission, so hiding in stars, even hiding behind black holes, doesn't work. The curved space shield is even more useless. Even if space is curved, information storms can still come in.

The only way to escape the information storm is to leave this three-dimensional space.

Xiao Yu and the Lucas have come to the fourth dimension, so they naturally left this three-dimensional space. No matter how violent the information storm is, it cannot affect Xiao Yu.

Avoiding the information storm in the four-dimensional space is like sitting in a helicopter and avoiding the flood. Floods are equivalent to disasters that occurred in the two-dimensional world. Sitting in a helicopter and coming to the sky is equivalent to coming to the third dimension. Two-dimensional disasters will not affect the third dimension anyway.

In the same way, the disasters in the three-dimensional world will not affect the fourth dimension anyway.

Here, Xiao Yu is absolutely safe.

Watching the passage of time bit by bit, Xiao Yu murmured silently in his heart: The information storm is coming.
