Super Battleship Reborn

The information that Xiao Yu saw was not continuous, but intermittent. There were often tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years between the two pieces of information. Many fragments of this process were obtained by Xiao Yu through deduction and imagination.

However, even these incomplete information have greatly enriched Xiao Yu's existing theoretical system. Let Xiao Yu have a better understanding of the formation process of stars.

Xiao Yu continued to search for what he wanted in the huge ocean of information.

After the star was formed, Xiao Yu saw that some relatively large meteorite blocks began to appear around it. The number of these meteorite blocks is hundreds of billions, trillions, almost endless. At this time, in the interior of the galaxy, there are still relatively abundant interstellar dust, and they are still gathering continuously.

Gradually, the small meteorites gathered into large meteorites, and the gravitational force of the large meteorites began to attract these interstellar dust, and it began to gradually increase its mass and volume.

This is a meteorite war that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years. While the big rock is devouring the small rock, it is also colliding with and merging with other big rocks. After eons, the first star with enough power to empty its orbit of leftover matter has finally appeared.

It has reached hydrostatic equilibrium, and its shape begins to assume a spherical shape. In the sea of ​​interstellar dust, it unscrupulously increases its mass.

The same phenomenon occurs in several places in this proto-galaxy. Xiao Yu counted, and there were as many as eight places.

This... is the original solar system? Xiao Yu had a little doubt in his heart.

Planets continue to increase in size and mass, and empty the rest of the galaxy. After billions of years, they finally took shape.

Xiao Yu saw that this star system, after stabilization, has a total of four rocky planets. Four gas giant planets.

Xiao Yu is still not sure which galaxy this is, and whether it is the solar system. It wasn't until Xiao Yu saw another video and saw several neighbors around this star system that he came to a conclusion.

The last piece of information, according to Xiao Yu's speculation, should be a picture from more than 2.5 million years ago. Because the Andromeda galaxy is more than 2.5 million light-years away from the Milky Way, the light from the Milky Way will take more than 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda galaxy and the interior of this black hole. stored by it.

This is... Nanmen 2, this is Sirius, this is Tianyuan 4, and this is Nanhesan... Xiao Yu recognized the familiar stars one by one.

The position of these stars is very different from the current position. But Xiao Yu has long mastered the orbits of these stars. Through the reverse calculation algorithm, Xiao Yu can easily restore their positions 2.5 million years ago. at the same time. through this information. From their locations, Xiao Yu can also calculate the specific time of this message.

That was about 2.63 million years ago.

In this era, the primitive apes on the earth have not discovered how wonderful the starry sky above their heads is. They are still raw and drinking blood, no different from animals.

Xiao Yu once again saw the real images of his hometown, although these images were more than two million years ago.

In Xiao Yu's heart. There was an unspeakable feeling.

The video continues and finally ends. But at the moment before the end, Xiao Yu saw something special.

It was a ball of light. It flashed across the screen, only lasting less than a second in the video. That's it for this message.

What is that? Xiao Yu became puzzled, and checked the information again.

Xiao Yu saw the ball of light again.

It is about the size of Mercury, and emits a glistening white light all over. It just hovers quietly outside the galaxy, maintaining a state of motion relative to the sun.

It's not a star, because stars can't be this small. It's not a planet, because planets can't shine so brightly. The only possibility is that it is some kind of technological artifact.

Xiao Yu saw some huge and curved lines on this unknown sphere, which seemed to be words with some meaning. Xiao Yu felt very familiar with these words, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Xiao Yu remembered after only recalling tens of thousands of seconds. Xiao Yu took out the spaceship of the 1990s again, looked at the outer shell of the spaceship of the 90s, and was in a daze.

These words basically match the words on the shell of the spacecraft in the 1990s. It is certain that they mean the same thing.

This spaceship... is that D-type Taihao Civilization's spaceship? Why did it appear here? What does it have to do with human beings?

In Xiao Yu's heart, strong doubts arose.

Xiao Yu remembered a rumor.

It is rumored that there was a huge evolutionary leap period between apes and primitive Homo sapiens, which lasted only a short time. In this extremely short period of time, human beings have completed the evolution from beasts to Homo sapiens.

The information that Xiao Yu is currently seeing is from 263,000 years ago. The era of the Great Leap in the rumors is almost in this era.

Xiao Yu is not an expert in biological sciences, so he doesn't know much about it, so he doesn't know whether this rumor is true. But now it seems that the evolution of human beings is really related to this D-type Taihao civilization.

If all these conjectures are true, and human beings have evolved because of the transformation of this Taihao civilization, then there are many doubts that can be explained, such as why human beings are found in the spacecraft of Taihao civilization. Corpse. Just like this, there will be a lot of new doubts. What is their purpose? For their own evolution? Does the destruction of the earth have anything to do with them? Why do I survive? If it is purely to verify the soul and The possibility of combining computers without the need to destroy the Earth, and without the need to force me out of the solar system.

Xiao Yu thought silently and moved forward silently.

At the current stage, Xiao Yu can only achieve super-light speed navigation in the laboratory, and it cannot be applied on a large scale for the time being. This means that Xiao Yu still can only rely on conventional navigation to travel the long distance of more than 130 light years.

This distance, in the past, was a moat that was enough to make Xiao Yu despair, but now, Xiao Yu doesn't care much about it anymore. Sufficient fuel can allow Xiao Yu to accelerate to 40% of the speed of light. At this speed, Xiao Yu only needs about three hundred years to reach his destination. Moreover, at this speed, the passage of time will probably slow down by half, that is to say, when Xiao Yu feels that about one hundred and fifty years have passed, Xiao Yu will reach his destination.

During this one hundred and fifty years, Xiao Yu will continue to search for things that are useful to him among the information collected by the information storm, and continue to carry out research on superluminal navigation.

In addition to these two points, there is one of the most important research directions, which is about energy harvesting.

At the present stage of development, Xiao Yu, who is enough to manufacture a provincial spaceship and sail at 40% of the speed of light, gradually feels that controllable nuclear fusion is no longer enough to meet the energy demand. It is imperative to develop new energy harvesting methods.

The annihilation of matter and antimatter can release huge energy, which can convert matter into energy 100%. But at this stage, Xiao Yu's technology is not developed enough to manufacture antimatter on a large scale.

Through a large particle collider, Xiao Yu can produce antimatter at a rate of one gram per hour. Such a tiny mass is obviously not enough to meet Xiao Yu's requirements. At the current stage, antimatter is mainly used in related research stages and cannot be used in large-scale applications.

In Xiao Yu's plan, the most promising breakthrough in a short period of time is the decay of heavy elements.

Through the recombination between quarks, heavy elements will rapidly decay into light elements, and a large amount of energy will be released during this process. When the earth exploded, it was shattered by the energy released by the rapid decay of the iron-nickel core into hydrogen.

Thanks to the breakthrough of the unified theory, Xiao Yu has carried out a lot of fruitful research on the decay of heavy elements.

Atoms are composed of nuclei and electrons, nuclei are composed of neutrons and protons, protons and neutrons are hadrons, and hadrons are composed of quarks. Hadrons are particles affected by the strong force.

Among the four fundamental forces, strong force is the strongest, followed by electromagnetic force. Electromagnetism is repulsion, which prevents particles from sticking together, and strong force is attraction, which pushes particles together. Just in the struggle between the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic force, the particles are balanced and can exist stably.

Xiao Yu discovered that after weakening the strong interaction force between quarks and enhancing the electromagnetic force by some means, the quarks will suddenly disperse, and then immediately do the opposite to strengthen the strong interaction force. At the same time, the electromagnetic force is weakened, and they will be slammed together again.

Quarks recombine into protons and neutrons, protons and neutrons recombine into atomic nuclei, which capture electrons to form atoms.

The result is that no matter what elements the substances were before the reaction, after the reaction, they all turn into hydrogen. This process is equivalent to splitting matter from the quark level, and then allowing them to recombine.

During such an impact process, a large amount of mass was converted into energy and released. Xiao Yu made rough calculations and came to the conclusion that in such a process, their efficiency in converting mass into energy is at least reliable. Ten times that of controlling nuclear fusion. In other words, through this process, about half of the mass of the reacting substances will be converted into energy!
