Voyage of the Stars

"Adli, how much do you remember about your predecessor civilization?" Yue Yuan thought for a while and asked Adli on the holographic screen.

What he said will be transformed by the equipment on the Tianqin and become information that Adli can recognize.

Adli is now constantly wandering around the Star Alliance fleet, like a bird enjoying the freedom of flying in the sky. It seems that he is really holding back.

Hearing Yue Yuan's question, he thought about it: "I remember some, but it is mainly information related to the destruction of Adli civilization. I don't know the rest. I don't even know the murderer who killed Adli civilization..."

"Ah, who is it, who are they! What is the name of that hateful and evil civilization! Why can't I remember it? I am Adli, I must kill them all to avenge me!"

"Ah! Why do you want to avenge me? Am I not good? Strange, no... It must be that hateful civilization that did it..."

Well, Adli is crazy again.

Yue Yuan shook his head and sighed. He wanted to find out something about the Perseus Arm, but he didn't expect that this question would touch Adeli's nerve. There was no other way. At this time, the driver in the third-person driving state could only comfort Adeli.

Humans learned from the Daya civilization that the civilization that destroyed the solar system was called the Tianxing civilization, and also learned about the characteristics of the Tianxing civilization.

But the Star Alliance led by humans has been running around in the Perseus Arm for hundreds of years, but there has been no progress in finding the Tianxing civilization.

Everyone can understand this. After all, the cosmic society is different from the society of the same race. It is a social background where most civilizations hide. If you want to find a hidden civilization, except for being lucky and encountering it by chance, there is only one way left, that is, to use some means to force the hidden civilization out.

And there are only two possibilities for the way to force the hidden civilization out. One is that something big happened in the entire Milky Way, and the other is that a certain civilization relic was discovered and known to everyone.

The first is just like the siege of the Reaper launched by the Galactic Heart Alliance. The second situation is that things are in the hands of people, such as broadcasting everywhere to advertise that there are some relics somewhere.

It’s just that the risk of broadcasting everywhere is too great. Even if there is a good excuse, humans dare not do it at all.

This doesn’t work, and that doesn’t work. The only thing left is luck.

Or when you have the ability to sail far, do a large-scale search of the entire galaxy. But to do this, humans must become one of the strongest echelons in the galaxy, and even more so, they must defeat the Reapers.

"Ah, this is the only way!" Yue Yuan took a last look at Adley who was going crazy, turned his head and left the Tianqin Command Center.

While walking, he also called up the work reports of various departments and read them.

In fact, humans no longer need special offices for work, especially Yue Yuan. Wherever he is, there is the captain's room.

But in most cases, he still likes to come to the command center, and many people who come to the command center on duty are the same.

In fact, during the supply period before parting with the Daya civilization, human civilization also took advantage of the supply gap to install a set of the latest generation of projection equipment on all warships and spacecraft.

It is a human behavior projection technology, an application of holographic projection technology.

Relying on this technology, human staff from all departments can appear in the command center in the form of projection, and their appearance is no different from that of real people.

Very convenient.

While humans are busy comforting Adley, they are also conducting research on extracting negative energy from black holes in full swing.

About one light year away from the Star Alliance fleet, this is the black hole that humans have detected before.

According to observation results, this is a Kerr black hole, which has rotation. Unlike the Schwarzschild black hole, the Kerr black hole not only has mass, but also angular momentum, which means that it will produce a unique gravitational field when it rotates.

For today's human civilization, it is precisely this kind of black hole with a unique gravitational field that is needed to assist experimental research, because this time what human civilization has to do is to extract negative energy from the space field formed by a massive celestial body such as a black hole, and then compress the negative energy into negative matter.

At present, humans have created such a device to extract negative energy from the negative energy field. This is a very complex creation. Its general principle is to create an energy transmission channel similar to a wormhole through the manipulation of the force field. One end of the channel is opened on the black hole event horizon, and the other end is assumed to be on the negative energy compressor.

As long as the experiment is successful, humans will master the method of obtaining negative matter on a large scale. This is much better than consuming a lot of energy to produce negative energy in their own factories.

After all, the difference between the two is like the difference between making fuel and directly extracting it from a gas station.

However, the experiment did not go smoothly.

After the extraction equipment as huge as a planetary battleship worked, humans did not detect any negative energy reaction.

Every scientist and engineer looked at the equipment with expectant eyes, watching it slowly enter the black hole gravitational field, watching it slowly circle in the black hole gravitational field, watching its working indicator light up...

But no negative energy reaction appeared.

"The force field generator of the extraction equipment is responsive. We have detected the appearance of some virtual particles, which should be transferred from the black hole event horizon. This shows that our equipment is successful in principle!" A man on a scientific research ship said The engineering scientist looked at the data and said, "Maybe our parameters were adjusted wrong and we failed to extract negative energy."

Another scientist who participated in the research project with him also nodded and said: "I also think it is a parameter problem. Look at this set of feedback data. Its spatial parameters seem to conflict with the black hole's gravitational field, causing the spatial force field node at the extraction end to fail. Problem..."

Hearing such words, many experts in the field of force fields frowned. Apparently they also saw the problem, but discovering the problem is just discovering the problem, the key is how to change it.

"It may be related to the type of black hole. Different types of black holes require different parameters. The original setting parameters of our negative energy extraction equipment may not be suitable for Kerr black holes."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's thinking was suddenly opened up, and many engineers also participated in the discussion.

"This is a Kerr black hole. Its event horizon shape is different from that of a non-rotating black hole, because rotation will cause distortion of space-time. So if we want to know how to adjust the parameters, we must first get the rotating space-time parameters of this black hole. It should be A variable, not the ration we set when we made the negative energy extraction device before!"

"It makes sense, you see," a researcher pointed to a certain area of ​​the Kerr black hole in the holographic image: "This is the halo area of ​​the Kerr black. The halo is a gravitational effect caused by rotation, allowing light to travel near the black hole. Rotate on a specific track."

"It is precisely because of this rotation that the Kerr black hole will cause the surrounding space-time to distort, forming a drag effect. When objects approach the black hole, they will be affected by stronger gravity and rotation. Now it seems that not only objects, our predictions It is assumed that the force field will also be affected by this space-time drag.”

"I think we can measure this space-time distortion variable by dropping a detector into a black hole."

"This is a solution worth trying."

"Okay, there are ready-made detectors on the research ship No. 3812. They were used by us to study natural wormholes at that time. Let's get a batch here and try it out right away."
