How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 421 Sublight Journey (Part 2)

"This is Chu, all vital signs are normal now, and there is no damage to the body, it's over."

After the routine report at intervals of one second, Chu was distracted to pay attention to the external electromagnetic wave signal and its own situation information. At this time, it had already left the original star system.

The definition of sub-light speed is 90% or more than 90% of the speed of light. If the Kuiper belt is used as the boundary of the star system and the subjective time of the outside world, it only takes five minutes to leave the star system as the starting point and enter the star system. the open space in between.

Losing the acceleration force of the sublight orbit, the state in Chu’s body returns to normal. According to the description of the theory of relativity, the two objects move in the same direction and at the same speed, and they serve as reference objects for each other, and they also maintain a relatively static state.

The initial acceleration to the sub-light speed at this moment can also be understood as the acceleration of each part of Chu’s body to the sub-light speed, so the particles maintain a relatively static state, so the body’s state returns to normal, neither tearing nor A superposition of forces occurs.

But in the final analysis, compared to the outside world, Chu Chu is still in a state of sub-light speed. Therefore, appearing in front of its traveling route, even if it is a piece of tofu, is enough to kill it instantly.

At the beginning of observing the situation outside, the surrounding is pitch black, only the only light source exists in front, this light source is rainbow-colored, the center is infrared rays below visible light, and then the frequency is increased step by step, and after visible light, you will see a crimson red The ring is like a shooting target, the outer circle is orange, and then yellow, green, blue, blue, purple...

Then beyond the purple, it breaks away from the category of visible light, which is the ring of ultraviolet light.

The starbow phenomenon, according to the aberration phenomenon of relativity and the cosmic rainbow formed by the Doppler effect, is a wonderful view that can only be seen after entering such an extreme speed.

Light is light in any state, and it will not change due to different frames of reference. Even if the speed of light is slowed down by different media, it is only the slowdown caused by the side length of the light path, not the real slowdown of the speed of light. .

"Is this what the will makes me observe?"

"It's indeed different from the world in the normal state. It's very wonderful, but... what can collecting these data bring to the ethnic group? It doesn't feel useful."

"No, it's useful. The will can't be wrong, but I'm too stupid to understand the purpose of the will."

"Huh? After a second, continue to broadcast the radio message."

First read the timing information of the atomic clock in his body, and repeat the broadcast of radio information.

"This is Chu, all vital signs are normal now, and there is no damage to the body, it's over."

It is meaningless to do this, because the distance is too far, and the electromagnetic wave will decrease with the distance. To solve such a problem, the only way to solve this problem is to increase the energy output, but it is a pity that the energy carried by the original is not very much, and more Don't let Ming receive his report information.

The original intention of formulating this plan at the beginning was just to measure the influence of the scale effect after reaching the sub-light speed through the first few feedback information, so as to estimate the ratio of the initial time to the external time, and by the way Used when collecting data for sublight travel by other members of the same race.

However, when the plan was finalized, they changed their minds again. No matter how weak the light is, it will not disappear out of thin air, but it is too weak to be captured by existing radar technology. This does not mean that future radar technology will not work. What if, during the initial journey to the target star, they had a technological explosion in radar technology? Based on this hope, although it is a bit of a waste of energy, they still require a radio message to be sent every second at the beginning.

After reporting the information, Chu returned to the state of doing nothing, but this did not mean that it could relax, but it had to endure a small-scale bombing every once in a while.

For mothership creatures, space travel is very quiet, but it was the opposite at the beginning. It was shrouded in 'noisy' from the start, so that it somewhat missed the quiet universe at normal speeds.

The space between stars is very thin and empty, but it does not mean that there is no matter. On average, there will be one hydrogen atom per cubic meter. The large scale of five light years between the starting star and the target star, At least initially it will be hitting 9x10^15 hydrogen atoms head-on.

Everything is relative, and the effect of relativity is very obvious in the large-scale cosmic space. At the beginning, the hydrogen atoms on the flight path collided at sub-light speed, which is equivalent to the head-on collision of the hydrogen atoms on the flight path at sub-light speed. At the beginning, the energy released is equivalent to a grenade. In other words, every short interval at the beginning, a grenade will be bombarded with the face, and such bombing must be endured at least 9x10^15 times.

The impact of these hydrogen atoms is unavoidable, wandering among the stars, they have already dissipated the electrical properties that they carried when they started from the stars, generally appearing as neutral, it is impossible to deflect through the electric field, they can only resist .

Fortunately, the collectors had anticipated this situation long before they set sail, so they used a high-density titanium alloy exoskeleton as the initial shell. It is completely no problem to resist a nuclear explosion with a yield of tens of millions of tons.

If it hadn't reached such a strength, the collectors wouldn't have the confidence to travel across the stars at sub-light speed.

Time is gradually passing by repeating like this in Chu Chu, and Chu Chu can't even notice the passage of time. There is no way, the surrounding environment is empty, only the cosmic rainbow in front of him keeps shining in front of him, as if it is eternal , it is easy for people to have such an illusion that the world is like this, and I am not moving at all, but I am keeping a relatively static state with the light source in front of me.

Fortunately, the hydrogen atoms that collide from time to time and the atomic clock in the body will dispel the initial illusion and remind it that this world is not like this.

Time goes by slowly, and the initial mood tends to be more and more tense. The hydrogen atoms on the route can only be regarded as small ditches. Entity, then it means that Chu has passed the first gate of hell and reached the second.

This second gate of hell is to complete the sub-light speed deceleration and enter the star system.

It sounds easy, but it's actually...too hard.

The original sub-light speed relied on external acceleration instead of itself. It is easy and safe to increase the speed, but it does not have that kind of ability to slow down.

It can only rely on the sun light sail.
