There's a black hole inside me

It took eight hours.

Water Drop 3 spacecraft returned to Blue Star.

After this month of busy work, Wei Ming didn't feel very tired physically, but he was mentally exhausted, so he was still quite tired.

In fact, the so-called mental consumption is almost equivalent to Xiao Hei's consumption.

Without absorbing any matter, it takes energy to continuously accelerate and decelerate an object, and it is a lot of energy. If energy is equated to matter, Xiao Hei may have to consume energy every time he travels to and from Blue Star and Mars. Mass of tens of kilograms.

That's quite a lot, right?

There is also a strange phenomenon.

That is, every time he runs a long distance between Blue Star and Mars, the mechanical watch he wears, which has an error of no more than ten seconds a day, will obviously have an error of hundreds of seconds, usually two or three minutes slower.

Scientists explain this as the "time dilation effect", that is, the faster the object and the greater the mass, the slower time will pass.

For example, people who often take airplanes or high-speed trains will feel that their time seems to have become less, their watches will have a more obvious delay, and it seems that a lot of things are happening in the outside world.

In fact, everyone's time is the same. If time is compared to a special wave, faster objects will cause the wavelength to be shortened; the surface of an object with excessive mass will also have the wavelength shortened under the action of the gravity curve. is compressed.

For example, near a massive black hole, due to the nearly infinite gravity, the time wave is also compressed to an extremely short extent. One day has passed near the black hole, and ten days may have passed elsewhere, resulting in different clocks.

Wei Ming suddenly understood.

No wonder, no wonder time slows down so much.

Think about the speed of Water Drop No. 3.

Thinking again that his whole body was wrapped in Xiao Hei's gravitational radius, the gravity there was certainly not that great.

Under the influence of two factors.

The time dilation effect is of course very obvious.

No, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the "time compression effect", because his time was compressed and shortened. Compared with others, each round trip was nearly a hundred seconds shorter.

Of course, under normal circumstances, human lifespans are similar.

Wei Ming's time has been shortened by hundreds of seconds, which does not mean that his lifespan has been shortened by hundreds of seconds. His lifespan is still exactly the same.

Therefore, with the same lifespan, Wei Ming can witness hundreds of seconds more of the future.

Each time you run, you accumulate a hundred seconds.

After running more times, you will find that Wei Ming is younger and not aging enough.

If the "time compression effect" were more pronounced and the accumulated gap was larger, 300 years might have passed by the time Wei Ming was about 100 years old.

It's like pressing the fast forward button.

This may sound weird, but it's true.

Time is also a physical law, a special "wave" or "field". It is not equal to all people and everything in the world. If time is truly equal and treats everyone equally, then this universe cannot be born. Black holes Nor can it exist.

From a physical point of view, the statement "time is equal" does not hold true, but only in a philosophical sense.

So Wei Ming was moved.

After returning to Blue Star.

In order to make a verification, he deliberately took some time to put a smartphone and a mechanical watch that had no signal on the top of the upper control cabin of Water Drop 3, and then asked Xiao Hei to turn on the gravitational radius, which would only act within a range the size of a basketball. However, Shuidi No. 3, which weighed nearly a thousand tons, was lifted.

The gravitational force concentrated in a small area at the top is at least thousands of G's in size.

In order to prevent mobile phones and watches from being crushed by gravity, Weiming deliberately wrapped them in a uniform gravitational field, then rotated them at high speed, using centrifugal force to offset the pull of gravity.

It hung like this for a whole day (12 hours).

Then I took out my phone and watch and looked at the time they displayed.

Mobile time: 11 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds

Mechanical watch time: 11:55:58

Average the two.

Time was compressed by 4 minutes.

It can be seen that in the case of strong gravity + high speed, the time compression effect is very obvious.

Even considering that today's Xiao Hei can reach a maximum speed of 0.25 times the speed of light, it is not a problem to drag Water Drop No. 3 to fly at 0.2 times the speed of light, and it is not a problem to apply accelerations of hundreds or thousands of G's.

According to Einstein's gravitational expansion formula, in a gravitational environment of 0.2 times the speed of light and thousands of Gs, Wei Ming's aging rate can be slowed down by at least half, that is, the external time is doubled.

Wei Ming spent a hundred years in this environment, and two hundred years passed in the outside world.

"this--"

He didn't know how to deal with it.

If the time error is only three to five minutes, it is still acceptable.

The difference is double, what should we do?

Could it be that he has been wandering around the universe for fifty years, and when he comes back, his wife is scratching his head and he is younger than his son and grandson?

Is this a big deal?

Previously, he had planned to take a good trip in the solar system. He also considered going to a nearby galaxy a few light years away for a long-distance trip.

Now it seems that the faster and farther you run, the greater the chance of killing your family.

With all my family and loved ones gone, is there any point in doing this kind of travel?

Wei Ming felt that this was meaningless. The people he cared about most were gone. Traveling and being alone, referred to as "orphan travel", was more reasonable than the reasons for orphans in a certain orphanage.

There are two solutions:

Or take the whole family on a trip.

Either the "Immortality Plan" should be completed as soon as possible, so that human beings can get rid of the shackles of birth, old age, illness and death as soon as possible, break the life span limit, go against entropy, and achieve immortality.

The resources of the universe are infinitely rich and the space is infinitely vast. It is nothing to make human beings immortal like cancer cells. The universe is so big, why are we afraid of these "cancer cells"? Don't worry too much. Compared to mere humans, the universe is Resources are unlimited and can be developed and claimed to an unlimited extent. There are more than 200 billion stars in the Milky Way alone. We need to fill up this map first.

Therefore, Wei Ming prefers the second option, vigorously developing medical technology and ultimately realizing human immortality.

After all, when traveling, you have to bring your entire family with you. Is that considered a real trip?

then.

Throughout the following June and July, Wei Ming put most of his energy into the "Longevity Plan" and even obtained some drugs. He experimented with a small number of cells in his own body to observe the actual effects of the drugs. .

As a result, the progress of the "Immortality Project" has been greatly accelerated, and breakthroughs have been made at many key nodes. The results achieved in just two months may exceed two years, which has surprised countless scientists and increased their confidence.

But by late July.

The attention of everyone on Blue Star is still on another place - Mars.

Brother Long, Elon Musk, successfully landed on the surface of Mars, achieving a great feat on behalf of all mankind.

After staying for five hours and taking some soil samples.

The lander's ascent module engine failed and was unable to take off. It was unable to rendezvous with the orbiting module orbiting Mars and return to the Blue Star.

The oxygen is depleted in 26 hours.

The next outcome is death.
