Fabricating The World: Creating A Three-Body Invasion At The Beginning

Cheng Xin and Cao Bin's final destination was Star Ring City, which was a medium-sized space city.

Medium space cities refer to space cities with an internal area of ​​less than 200 square kilometers and more than 50 square kilometers. They are generally mixed in the cluster of large space cities.

However, the two medium-sized space cities in the Jupiter community, Halo City and Lightspeed 2, are alone at the outermost part of the space city community, far away from the main body of the community, almost outside the shadow protection zone of Jupiter.

Before arriving at Halo City, the spaceship passed Lightspeed City II.

Cao Bin told Cheng Xin that Lightspeed 2 was once a science city, one of two bases that studied reducing the speed of light in vacuum and establishing a black domain, but now it has become an abandoned ghost city.

Cheng Xin was very interested and asked to take a look at the science city, but Cao Bin had to reluctantly instruct the spacecraft to turn in that direction.

"Let's take a look from the outside. It's best not to go in." Cao Bin said.

"Is there any danger?"

"dangerous."

"We also entered the Pacific One, which is also in danger."

"This is different. There is no one in Lightspeed 2. It's a... ghost town. That's what people say anyway."

As the spaceship approached, Cheng Xin saw that the space city was indeed in ruins. It did not rotate, and its appearance was dilapidated. There were many holes and cracks. In some places, large pieces of the skin were turned outwards, exposing the inner frame.

The spacecraft slowly approached a large crack, which was several hulls wide, and the metal frame inside was twisted and warped, forming a gaping hole.

The searchlight shined through the crack, and Cheng Xin saw the "ground" in the distance, which was empty and empty.

The spacecraft sailed into the crack for a short distance and then hovered. It turned on its searchlight and shot everywhere. Cheng Xin saw that the "ground" in all directions was empty.

Not only are there no buildings, there are no debris, and there are no traces of human habitation. The latticework of the truss structure is clearly visible on the ground.

"Is there only an empty shell left here~`?" Cheng Xin asked.

"no."

Cao Bin looked at Cheng Xin for a few seconds, as if assessing her courage, and then turned off the searchlight on the boat.

What Cheng Xin first saw was darkness, with starlight filtering through the cracks on the opposite side, like the night sky through the roof of a dilapidated house.

But after Cheng Xin's eyes adjusted to the darkness, she discovered that the ruins of the space city were not completely dark, but instead glowed with a faint blue light.

Cheng Xin felt a chill in her body, and she forced herself to calm down and look for the light source.

Then she discovered that the blue light was emitted from the middle of the city's space. It was a luminous point that flickered on and off with irregular intervals, like an eye that blinked randomly.

The interior of the ruins also appeared and disappeared with the flickering of light spots. The empty ground just now was filled with strange shadows, like a wasteland illuminated by lightning from the sky in the dark night.

"That light is produced by space dust falling into the black hole."

Cao Bin pointed in the direction of the light spot and said, as if to alleviate Cheng Xin's fear.

"Is there a black hole there?!" Cheng Xin was shocked.

"Yes, it is... less than five kilometers away from us now. It is a miniature black hole with a Schwarzschild radius of only twenty nanometers and a mass equivalent to that of Callisto."

In this dim blue light [Cao Bin told Cheng Xin the story about the Lightspeed Worker and Gao Way.

Research into reducing the speed of light in vacuum began at about the same time as the bunker project. As the second way of survival for mankind, the international community has invested huge resources in this regard.

The bunker project built a large space city as a research base specifically for this purpose. This is the Lightspeed One Science City in the Saturn community.

However, sixty years of large-scale research have not made any breakthroughs, even in basic theory.

It is not difficult to reduce the speed of light in a medium. As early as 2008 AD, it was possible to reduce the speed of light in a medium to an incredible seventeen meters per second in the laboratory. However, this is essentially different from reducing the speed of light in a vacuum.

The former is only realized through the absorption and re-emission of photons by the atoms of the medium. The propagation speed of photons in the middle is still the standard vacuum speed of light, which is meaningless for the black domain plan.

The speed of light in vacuum is one of the basic constants of the universe. Changing it is equivalent to changing the laws of the universe.

Therefore, reducing the speed of light in vacuum must make a breakthrough in the most basic field of physics, which is something that is rare.

Over the past sixty years, the real achievement of basic research is the birth of the circumsolar accelerator.

And its emergence directly led to the implementation of the largest research project in the Black Domain Project-the black hole project.

Scientists have been trying to affect the speed of light through various extreme physical means, and have even generated the strongest artificial electromagnetic field in history for this purpose.

But if you want to have an effect on light in a vacuum, your best choice is a gravitational field.

However, it is extremely difficult to generate a local strong gravitational field in the laboratory. The only possible way is a black hole, and a circumsolar accelerator can create a miniature black hole.

The chief scientist of the black hole project is Gao Way. Cao Bin has worked with him for several years. He described this person to Cheng Xin with very complicated emotions:

"..." This person has severe autism. It is not the kind of loneliness that a genius chooses by himself, but a mental defect. "

Gao Way is extremely withdrawn and has no communication with anyone. Only in this era can he achieve such success in his career, but others just use him as a high-intelligence battery.

He is deeply tortured by this defect and has been trying to change it. In this regard, he is completely different from other geniuses.

Since the 8th year of the Broadcasting Era, Gao W (Wang Qian's) Ay has been engaged in theoretical research on reducing the speed of light.

During the experiment, he had a strange idea. He felt that the speed of light was his own personality. As long as he could change the speed of light, he could change himself.

But the speed of light in vacuum is indeed the strongest thing in the universe. Experimental research on reducing the speed of light is like unscrupulous torture of light.

People use various extreme physical means to act on light, hitting it, twisting it, breaking it, dismembering it, stretching it, squashing it, and even destroying it.

But the biggest achievement is just to change its frequency during vacuum propagation, while the speed of light remains motionless, like an insurmountable wall.

Over the past few decades, both those engaged in theory and experiments have become somewhat hopeless.

There is a saying that if there is a creator, he may have only welded one thing to death when he created the universe: the light speed valley. .
