Chapter 517 Gravitational Waves

Galaxy 2 years, February 2, a very special day.

A remodeled Tusk Lion-class space battleship is sailing towards the North Star region of the solar system. At this time, the Tusk Lion-class space battleship has sailed to about 330 billion kilometers (220 AU) from the sun.

But this is not their destination yet, their destination is 500 billion kilometers away from the sun.

The reason why they ran so far was mainly to test the gravitational bomb. The gravitational bomb of the Soss civilization was completely destroyed in the Helic planetary raid before, and the gravitational bomb tested by the Alliance Army is based on the data of the Soss civilization. re-developed.

The three giants of the Supreme Command are all watching this test on the internal network at this time. The three of them attach great importance to the gravitational bomb. This thing is equivalent to a mushroom egg in the interstellar era and has a very powerful deterrent effect.

In the history of the Sous civilization, a total of three gravitational bombs were manufactured, one was used for testing, one was used to blow up the tail of the zi galaxy to survive, and one was on the Herik planet as a last resort.

However, due to the lack of resources and the sharp decline in population during the wandering period of the Sous civilization, they can only maintain the gravitational bombs, and have no ability to upgrade and transform them.

This time, the Tusk Lion-class space battleship carried 3 experimental gravitational bombs, which were the results of the Institute of Gravitational Research for more than half a year.

On top of the Longtooth-class space battleship.

"Wenhua, are yours ready?" An Shitong, the leader of the gravitational bomb project team, looked at the battleship that was about to reach the designated position.

Chief Engineer Wang Wenhua (from South) nodded and said, "We are ready."

"it is good."

With the battleship at its designated position 500 billion kilometers (333.3 AU) from the solar system, the captain has completed anchoring.

"Captain An, we have arrived at the designated location." Captain Cliff turned his head and said to An Shitong.

"Okay, Captain Cliff, please put the sensor and target ship at the designated location." An Shitong replied immediately.

"no problem."

Cliff immediately commanded the soldiers, and quickly released rows of specially customized sensors into the void, and launched seven other spaceships of about 1000 tons. These spaceships will be used as target ships.

However, the Void Test Site is still about 50 billion kilometers away from the location of the Fangshi-class space battleship. These sensors and target ships will reach the designated location by themselves through the artificial intelligence autopilot system.

An Shitong, Wang Wenhua and others were also discussing some test details in a low voice. An Shitong asked with some concern: "Wenhua, your Herik database confirms that the killing range of the original gravitational bomb is a radius of 224 billion kilometers. ?”

Of course, Wang Wenhua understood An Shitong's worries, and quickly assured him: "Team Leader An, don't worry, the magnitude of the first gravitational bomb is only about 10% of the original version, and the killing radius is at most about 20 billion kilometers. The void test site is far from the edge of the solar system." region, there is still a distance of 250 billion kilometers, and it will not affect the solar system."

An Shitong thought for a while and said, "Then we will start the test with the smallest one later, so as to avoid any accidents."

In the midst of being busy, time passed quickly, and 41 hours passed without knowing it, and both the sensor and the target ship had arrived at the designated positions.

"Captain Cliff, launch the gravitational bomb experiment No. [-], while our battleship retreats in the opposite direction." An Shitong looked at his watch and ordered.

"no problem."

The Longtooth-class space battleship launches a missile with a mass of about 2 tons, or a spaceship is also possible, because the speed of this thing has reached the limit of the current alliance spacecraft, as high as 16.8% of the speed of light , almost pushing the engine to the extreme.

It is impossible for ordinary spaceships to play like this, because the photon engine will be seriously damaged when sailing at extreme speed for a long time, but the photon engine of the gravitational bomb is a one-time thing, so there is no need to cherish it, just step on the gas pedal desperately. .

As the gravitational bomb experiment No. [-] rushed towards the void test field, the long-toothed lion-class space battleship also quickly activated the photon engine and flew in the opposite direction at full speed.

Captain Cliff commanded the soldiers to control the battleship, while An Shitong, Wang Wenhua and others monitored the situation of the gravitational bomb experiment No. [-] in real time through the quantum communication system.

22 hours later.

"The report shows that the gravitational bomb experiment No. 86 has arrived at the designated location. The gravitational bomb experiment No. 231 is 533 billion kilometers away from our battleship, [-] billion kilometers away from the edge of the solar system, and [-] billion kilometers away from the sun, which is in line with the expected safe distance."

"All sensors and target ships are working normally and can be tested."

"The battleship's condensed matter shield is deployed."

"..." The soldiers in the cockpit were busy in an orderly manner. Captain Cliff looked at the time and turned to An Shitong and asked, "Captain An, everything is normal and we can start the test."

An Shitong nodded and said, "Start the gravitational bomb experiment No. [-]."

"Received." Captain Cliff opened a partition with a red button. After entering the password, the red button popped up automatically, and he pressed it hard.

In the void test field, the gravitational bomb experiment No. 16.8, which was advancing at a speed of [-]% of the speed of light, suddenly burst into dazzling light, and then burst out countless energies.

Because it is a vacuum area, the explosion did not have an earth-shattering explosion sound, only a flash of dazzling light.

However, in the gravitational world that cannot be observed by human eyes, a huge wave is rapidly erupting.

[Didi... Detected abnormal gravitational data...] Thousands of gravitational sensors arranged in the void test field immediately sent countless gravitational wave data to the battleship.

"Report, the No. 3 target ship collapsed, with a gravity of 5.79..."

"Report, No. 4 target ship disintegrates, gravity is 0.173..."

"Report, sensor 37 was destroyed, the last data is gravity 4.217..."

The Institute of Gravity has fixed the data on the gravitational force of the universe. The gravitational constant of the universe is 1, and once the gravitational force suddenly rises and falls, it will cause catastrophic consequences.This behavior is equivalent to modifying the physical rules of the universe, of course, it is only a very superficial application.

Once the gravitational force skyrockets, the matter under the normal state will be compressed, and when the gravitational force drops, the matter under the normal state will be foamed or disintegrated by the gravitational force.

The more frightening thing is the gravitational chaos field caused by gravitational bombs. In this gravitational chaos field, matter will be suddenly compressed or expanded suddenly, and this is continuous and disordered gravitational chaos, which is very destructive.

"Report, all target ships have been destroyed."

"Report, the gravitational wave sensor is 86% damaged."

"..."

Wang Wenhua, An Shitong and the others stared closely at the holographic computer, which contained real-time monitoring data that had just received gravitational waves.

"Report, the battleship detected a weak gravitational wave with an intensity of 1.0716..."

"Report, the solar system frontier warning system, detected a weak gravitational wave with an intensity of 1.00498."

Soon the gravitational wave detection equipment all over the solar system detected weak gravitational wave anomaly data, but this weak gravitational anomaly has minimal impact on the solar system.

And this time the gravitational bomb was detonated, and countless valuable measured data were obtained. These data are conducive to the more perfect and intuitive research of gravitational waves by the Institute of Gravity.
