There's a black hole inside me

New Era 054, August 18th.

The solar system, human civilization, and the expedition fleet are about to set off.

The dock platform of the giant spaceport.

Countless people shed tears to bid farewell.

"You must come back."

"Don't go too far for too long, and come back no matter what."

"This will always be my hometown, and the fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots."

"One thousand years is too long. Come back in three hundred years, okay? Or you can take me with you. I can't wait that long."

Xu Chuxia held Wei Ming's hand tightly, with a look of reluctance on her face and said with tears in her eyes.

"Nowadays, most of the new materials can be synthesized in factories. The only thing that cannot be synthesized is water drop crystals. However, I have synthesized 1 billion tons and stored them there, which is enough for thousands of years. It doesn't make much difference whether I am here or not. ”

Wei Ming said calmly: "Go do what you like. No one will hinder your interests and hobbies anymore. A thousand years will not last long, it will pass in the blink of an eye. When the time comes, I will be back."

"You are a cruel bastard!"

After pinching the man's hand hard, Xu Chuxia wiped the corners of her eyes and trotted away.

The gangway is retracted.

The Ecosphere moved slowly, drifting away from the berth, then continued to accelerate, getting further and further away.

Looking at the huge tail of the giant spaceship.

Standing in the commuting corridor, Xu Chuxia clenched her fists, flashed her eyes, and said secretly: "What I want to do is not a hobby. Just wait. When you come back, you will see a completely different person." Empire, I will prove that I am right, and you will apologize to me when the time comes!"

…

let's go!

Xiao Hei has run in front of the Ecosphere, opened the gravitational radius, and wrapped the "control acceleration ball" at the front end, instantly generating a pulling force of 2 billion tons, allowing the spacecraft to continue to accelerate forward at an acceleration of about 0.2G.

In the control hall.

Stand in front of the console.

Through the transparent rectangular portholes, the stars ahead are as dense as the sea.

Above a circular holographic projection sand table with a diameter of ten meters, a three-dimensional navigation star map emerged. Dozens of top navigators sat around it. They were constantly calculating routes, adjusting courses, and putting the navigation routes into The information is transmitted to the smart AR glasses worn by Wei Ming, allowing Wei Ming to adjust the course and speed of the spacecraft to always stay on the long green line.

"Is this route the same route that the third group of immigration trains took that year?" Wei Ming asked.

"Yes."

Wei Qi, the chief scientific officer beside him, said: "I have led people to sort out ten years of data. The route we are taking now has a 100% overlap rate with the third group of trains back then, and the error is no more than ten kilometers. , we are on the same path as we were back then.”

Wei Qi was originally named Wei 7. Because of his outstanding ability, he was promoted and changed his name to Wei Qi.

"The third group of immigration trains ran halfway, why was there no news at all?"

Wei Ming said with deep confusion on his face: "What happened to the third group of trains?"

"Scientists have put forward many speculations, including the 'small black hole swallowing theory', 'dark matter obscuration theory', 'space creature swallowing theory', 'alien capture theory' and 'crusu encounter theory'... there are at least dozens of them. hypothesis emerges.”

Guard officer Zhang Xingfeng said, obviously he also had in-depth research.

"What the hell is Crusu?"

Wei Ming turned around and glared at him: "This is the age of science, how come there are still people engaging in such nonsense and inexplicable idealism? There is no Crusu in the materialist world!"

The setting of Crusu comes from the Western mythology system, representing all unknowns and fears. This kind of existence is unknowable, invisible, indescribable and indescribable. Once you come into contact with it, you will fall into the deep sea of ​​fear, and it will only sink deeper and deeper. Deep down, his sanity level dropped wildly, and he eventually went crazy and died in fear.

Over time, Crusoe became a very popular cultural phenomenon.

But Wei Ming felt baffled and couldn't put it into perspective. What was Crusu's rationale for killing? Is there any scientific basis? Can being ugly scare people to death?

Or is this the deep malice people have towards ugly things? Because you are ugly, they don’t want to look at you at all, they don’t even want to hear your voice, and they don’t want to know your name. It’s best to contain them all and stop creating psychological problems for people. shadow.

This is simply a creation that has no rational or scientific support, and is just a creation of sensibility and willfulness. In the final analysis, it reflects the darkness and ugliness deep in some people's hearts. How can Crusu deserve it?

Wei Ming has no interest in such things.

"But what happened to the migrant train in Group 4 was exactly as described in some Crusu stories."

Zhang Xingfeng added: "The 100,000 immigrants were all insane and died in madness and fear. They seemed to have experienced unimaginable horror. In the process of human exploration of the universe, many people suffered from 'deep sea phobia' ', resulting in more than a million deaths. Other dangers in space did not kill many people, but the fear of the human body itself killed countless people. "

"Boss, this universe may not be as simple as we imagine. Unknown and scary things may really exist. We should not take it lightly."

Zhang Xingfeng looked in awe.

"Can a black hole destroy the so-called Crusu?"

Wei Ming asked calmly.

"I don't know, but be careful. This universe is far more dangerous than we imagined."

"I am more inclined to the 'small black hole swallowing theory'."

At this time, scientist Long Tianhao said: "It may be that the third group of immigrant trains happened to encounter a passing wandering black hole and fell directly into the black hole, so fast that there was no time to send out a distress signal."

"Massive black holes are easy to detect, and the mass of this kind of wandering black hole should not exceed 3 blue stars. Moreover, because the immigration train was traveling too fast, it had no time to brake and avoid the reaction, so it directly entered the small black hole."

"Then this kind of thing is too coincidental."

Chen Jian shook his head and said: "The universe is so big, but it just happened to crash into a wandering black hole. The probability is harder than winning the super jackpot. I am more inclined to the 'alien capture theory'. That immigration train may fall into into the hands of aliens."

"Suppose we encounter a small black hole, or an alien waiting in the wings."

Wei Ming clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the sea of ​​stars, and asked: "Now that we are taking this route again, what is the probability of encountering them again?"

"No two shells will fall into the same crater."

Female scientist Ye Chushu said in a clear voice: "Even a fixed trap is difficult to encounter again in the cosmic space where relative displacements are constantly changing. We can only assume that the third group of immigration trains has not disappeared, then we will It is possible to find its remains on the road and investigate the true cause."

"yes."

Wei Ming nodded: "The first group of immigrant trains that were destroyed by the impact of a large meteorite, and the fourth group of immigrant trains that fell into fear and madness, at least passed the cause of the accident back to the solar system. Only the mysterious disappearance of the third group made people It’s unacceptable. No matter what, we hope there will be a result of the investigation.”

This universe is so fucked up!

The "Immigration Train Project" more than thirty years ago was the first attempt by human civilization to leave the solar system. The failure rate as high as 60% scared all mankind to tremble. As a result, so far, except for the continuous launch of detectors, there has been no A new large-scale immigration operation was launched, with very few applicants.

After all, no one wants to be the unlucky 60%.

Wei Ming's mission this time was also to inspire confidence in human civilization, to try his best to investigate the truth of the accident, and to rekindle the fighting spirit to travel far.

accelerate.

The ecosystem number continues to accelerate!

The acceleration state of 0.2G lasted for a full month.

Ecosphere reached 0.41 times the speed of light, then stopped accelerating and maintained a constant speed.

At this time, the spacecraft had crossed the Kuiper Belt and came into contact with a small amount of the Oort cloud.

At this speed, the starlight is slightly stretched, and the time dilation effect is more obvious. In the dark space, the Ecosphere is lit up with countless lights. This giant spaceship, with an indomitable attitude, steps into the dark space that seems to be everywhere. In the deep sea of ​​countless terrors and cries.

But no one was afraid, because the small spherical black thing in front of the Ecosphere had swallowed up all the cosmic dust, rays, high-energy particles, and small meteorites in the channel ahead, giving everyone courage and confidence.
