Beneath Deep Space

"Professor Ding Yidong, I will leave the manufacturing work of the four-hydrogen nuclear bomb and related rockets to you. It must be completed within three months!"

"Mr. Ivanovich, it's up to you to cooperate with Ding Yidong's related work!"

"...The Huguang Supercomputing Center is responsible for specific ballistic calculations!"

…

Orders were issued quickly one after another, all related to preparations for bombing the green light spacecraft.

Although Yu Yifeng's mind was still clear, he always felt numb and tight in his heart. Such an order did not bring much sense of security, and no one knew whether the human bombing plan would succeed.

"Damn the Green Light Man!" He ordered and cursed in his heart.

The technological gap between the two civilizations is too great. What if the ballistic calculation is wrong and the ballistic missile is not hit? What if the nuclear bomb is intercepted by the other side? There are too many eventualities, and humans cannot bear any of them.

The huge unknown fleet in the gravitational wave telescope is still menacing and shows no signs of slowing down.

Yu Yifeng only felt it was a little funny. The humans didn't want to send them any news. Speaking of which, this unknown fleet was still the culprit. If the sun really exploded, it would be good to bury it with the humans.

And it's impossible for them to save humans. The gap between the two is 0.24 light years. It takes almost half a year to come and go. It's too late. The sun has already exploded.

"What a fool." The more Yu Yifeng thought about it, the angrier he became, and he cursed in his heart. Humanity really suffered an unreasonable disaster.

This is a war between interstellar civilizations. It doesn't matter if it doesn't start. If it does start to fight, stars will explode at every turn... How should humans, who are like ants, fight for a chance of survival?

He deeply felt the shortcomings of technology. No matter how successful the disguise is, it will not change the inner strength. Human beings are still too weak.

Just now, the observatory sent a message: the gravitational wave telescope observed the space shuttle of the green-light civilization. The traces are very weak. It is escaping from the solar system at sub-light speed, and the speed is still gradually increasing...

This damn green light civilization has just slapped its ass and run away, and it wants to explode the star? What about humans? Yu Yifeng couldn't help but greet the eighteenth generation of their ancestors in his heart.

Even if human nuclear bombs knock down the Green Light Civilization's spaceship, what should be done with the unknown fleet behind it? How should we face it? If it cannot be blasted down and a supernova explosion actually occurs, can humans survive?

It's really a headache. Yu Yifeng actually doesn't want to think about such a heavy issue. He really wants to take it one step at a time and reach wherever he goes...

After being stunned for a long time, Yu Yifeng finally said: "Everyone, I have a question...if the sun really explodes, can our spacecraft be able to survive it?"

When he said this, his voice was hoarse and hoarse. If possible, he really didn't want to ask such a pessimistic question, but... they must face the scene after the bombing plan fails!

By then, will Noah be able to withstand the supernova explosion?

This is a vital question!

"We don't know the explosion of neutron star fragments, and we don't know whether the sun will develop into a supernova. We can only prepare for the worst."

Yu Yifeng slammed the table and shouted: "Now...can anyone tell me whether Noah can withstand a supernova explosion?"

There was silence in the entire conference room. Perhaps only the "Noah civilization" that created this spacecraft knew about this issue.

The first person to speak was Dr. Felix: "...Even if the Noah can withstand the ultra-high temperature, the strong gamma rays can kill any living thing in an instant. The entrance and exit of the Noah can pass through anything. Yes. The penetrating power of gamma rays is so strong that such high temperatures can even destroy a planet!"

"Also, the endless neutrinos, although they are usually harmless to humans and animals, if the number is multiplied by trillions, they can beat people into sieves."

He didn't look good because of these pessimistic remarks.

However, what should be said must be made clear. Good medicine tastes bitter, but loyal advice is harsh to the ears. If the sun really explodes, the possibility of human beings surviving is really slim.

When everyone was silent, a voice suddenly appeared. This was a Chinese physicist named Lu Tao. He frowned and said: "I think... it is not impossible to survive!"

"Even if a supernova breaks out, we still have a chance of survival!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised and stared at Lu Tao.

He cleared his throat and said calmly: "We first assume that the shell of Noah can withstand temperatures of hundreds of millions or even billions of degrees. This is possible... We have done some research on the outer shell of the spacecraft. The nuclear test left no trace."

"If Noah survives the supernova, the outer shell of the spacecraft will withstand a large amount of gamma rays and neutrinos...the ones left for us to deal with are less than one in a billion, or even only one in a billion!"

The shell of Noah is a very strange material, without any atomic structure, and it seems to be dense.

It does not absorb light or produce radiation. Any matter that hits it will only be bounced or deflected, including extremely penetrating gamma rays and neutrinos...

It will not be heated and is always in a magical low temperature state. Even if it is burned with fire or exploded with nuclear bombs, it will always be at this temperature without any change. So people don't have to worry about staying in and getting cooked.

According to Dr. Lu Tao's idea, if Noah miraculously withstood the supernova explosion, most of the neutrinos would be isolated by the shell, and their concentration would not be enough to kill people.

For humans, the most dangerous things are ultra-high temperatures and gamma rays. This kind of electromagnetic wave with a wavelength shorter than 0.01 Angstrom has extremely strong penetrating power and energy, and can completely kill humans with only a very small dose.

"Gamma rays will only come in through the entrance and exit of Noah. If we block it with a thick radiation-proof wall, can most of it be blocked?" Dr. Lu Tao said.

After hearing this, another scientist immediately stood up and retorted: "Your Excellency Lu Tao, you underestimate the gamma ray radiation of a supernova! Even if the mass of the sun is relatively small, the gamma rays it produces are at least Easily melt a planet, let alone a radiation-proof wall?”

Yes... these are gamma rays from star explosions, and they cannot be blocked by a radiation-proof wall!

"...Yes, you are right!" Lu Tao was not discouraged and continued: "But we can hide behind Mars and let Mars block most of the gamma rays for us."

"One planet, we have to back it up with one planet! It will take most of the damage."

"Then let the Noah block most of the rest for us!"

"The entrance and exit area of ​​Noah only accounts for about one hundred thousandth of the surface area. It can be said to be just a small opening. I think what we will face in the end is only one billionth or ten billionth of the original The dose should be able to withstand it, right?”

The crowd is silent, can you? have no idea……

Dr. Lu Tao's words have boosted the confidence of everyone present, but only a little, because the premise is: the Noah must carry all this!

Supernova... This is a supernova explosion! It is too difficult to describe a supernova intuitively. The energy of its explosion is almost unimaginable.

To give a simple example: Is an ordinary hydrogen bomb that explodes right overhead more powerful, or is a supernova explosion 1.6 astronomical units away (the Sun-Mars distance) more powerful?

The answer is obvious. The energy of a supernova or even a supernova explosion is nine orders of magnitude more powerful than an ordinary hydrogen bomb when it spreads to such a distance. That is...a hundred million times!

In other words, the Noah spacecraft has to absorb 100 million times the bombing energy of ordinary hydrogen bombs in an instant, and it is all-round and long-lasting, and it needs to last for several hours or days!

This is the first time that mankind has lost confidence in Noah...

People started talking and quarreling. This was like a life-saving straw. No one was willing to give up. But obviously, no one knows whether Noah can...

"Quiet! Everyone be quiet!" Yu Yifeng knocked on the table hard and shouted loudly: "This time, we have to live and die with the Noah again!"

"If all plans fail and even the Noah is destroyed, we humans will die. In less than a second, we will all die without any pain!"

"But...if the Noah is not defeated, I will never allow mankind to fail!"
