Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 629 Black Hole Trebuchet

"At a distance of 3.2 light years from Pangu's current position, there is a binary star system composed of a white dwarf star and a black hole..." A three-dimensional starry sky map appeared directly in front of the conference room.

White dwarfs are unremarkable, about 1.1 times the mass of the sun. The black hole is about 4.6 times the mass of the sun, which is not very big.

But this black hole is not an ordinary, stationary Schwarzschild black hole. It is spinning at close to the speed of light, pulling on the surrounding space. In other words, it is a veritable "Kerr black hole" with angular momentum!

Black holes are the final destination of many massive stars in the vast starry sky, and they are not a particularly rare thing.

But its properties are still full of mystery to scientists. People still know very little about what is inside a black hole and whether it is a passage to another universe. Any detection instrument that comes close to a black hole will turn into powder.

Conventional physical rules will also fail within the bounds of black hole events.

The detection of black holes is not difficult. It is extremely obvious in gravitational wave telescopes and hard X-ray modulation telescopes.

The original Pangu had no intention of escaping from there.

"According to what the Tiekui civilization said, there is a long-abandoned interstellar outpost near the Kerr black hole... which they left behind thousands of years ago."

"...In fact, it is an ordinary earth-like planet. It is rotating around the black hole far away. Its orbit is approximately an ellipse, and its orbital eccentricity is approximately..."

"There are some abandoned space laboratories on the planet. Oh... the mass of this planet is equivalent to Venus, and it has a decent semi-finished planetary engine, which can barely run."

"In this sensitive and complex gravitational system, as long as there is a small change in orbit, the planet will be pulled in by the huge gravity of the double stars!" An astronomer stood up and explained the entire plan with a slightly rosy face.

"In addition, this black hole is a Kerr black hole, which can use the so-called Penrose mechanism... When ejecting a large amount of matter, it can absorb the energy of the energy layer and exchange the angular momentum of the black hole for the remaining gravitational acceleration..."

"According to our current theory, after the Kerr black hole swallows most of the planet, due to the loss of mass, the other half will be wildly ejected by the energy fed back by the black hole. At this time, these stars will produce very high, capable The powerful speed that easily escapes the gravity of a black hole.”

"This kind of speed and kinetic energy cannot be given by ordinary planetary engines..."

"After our design, as long as the large amount of material thrown out is aligned in the right direction, it can create a... planet-level impact event!" A simple animation even appeared on the screen, detailing the entire mechanism of action. .

The whole incredible process left some participants in the venue dumbfounded.

What's going on, why...can black holes still accelerate matter? !

Can it also speed up a planet? Just kidding, right?

But scientists have completely written the entire calculation process on the screen. Some laymen can only hold back their surprise and learn new knowledge again.

"Asteroid impact?"

"It sounds beautiful and powerful."

"But the battle stars of the LLP Silicon Alliance are not stupid. No matter how fast they accelerate with kinetic energy, they cannot match the warp speed. They can't just let planets hit their own planet, right?"

"Yes, their gravitational wave telescopes can easily detect black holes and white dwarfs. They will definitely slow down and pay more attention. As long as they change their orbits slightly, the collision will be impossible!"

A series of doubts appeared in the venue, some on the technical level, and some questioning the entire grand strategy: Even if it is really successful, it may not be possible to hit it.

"Also, is the ejected material accurate enough? Once a star with such a huge mass is ejected by a black hole, we have no way to control its direction. We only have one chance."

Amidst all the doubts, a man wearing glasses stood up and said: "I have another question. Can our Pangu's curvature engine operate around a black hole? If Pangu is in a high gravity environment, If the curvature engine cannot be started, it will be swallowed by the black hole.”

"So a safe distance must be maintained... at least 15 astronomical units, right? At such a long distance, how many pieces does the projectile have to fly to hit the target?"

"Yes, your concerns are correct. But according to our own calculations, Pangu will stop at 5 astronomical units near the black hole. At this distance, our curvature engine can still be started..." Faced with Yu Yifeng drew a schematic diagram and explained these doubts.

Due to the limitations of gravitational wave broadcasting, Tiekui civilization only briefly introduced the entire plan, and most of the content was calculated by the new humans themselves. After all, the new humans only believe in themselves, but now through calculations, they have discovered the feasibility of it.

"At 5 astronomical units, it's not too close to the binary star system. It's theoretically safe."

"As for how the material thrown out by the black hole hits the enemy's battle star... there is a detailed plan. The things involved are quite complex, related to strategic silence and the enemy's psychological level..."

To facilitate explanation, Yu Yifeng drew several balls on the screen: the origin in the middle is a black hole, and a white dot nearby is a white dwarf. Another small dot is the outpost of the Tiekui civilization. This interstellar outpost is now gravitationally balanced. As long as it moves, it will be attracted and pulled in.

Yu Yifeng explained: "Don't forget that in the superluminal state, there is no way to observe the outside world! The enemy's action mode is probably to travel at superluminal speed for one or two months, then stop and observe for a while, confirm the next direction of Pangu's advance, and then sail again..."

"Yes, that's right. For so many years of pursuit, it has always been like this..." An expert next to him nodded in agreement.

"We are taking advantage of this!" Yu Yifeng suddenly raised his voice: "If we want to trick the enemy, our Pangu needs to... pay a certain price!"

"Pangu needs to abandon the original winding escape route and change to a straight line. During the straight-line navigation, the distance between the enemy and us will be continuously shortened due to the speed difference..."

"If the distance between the two sides is only 0.5 light years, or even 0.2 light years, and the enemy has clearly observed that Pangu suddenly stopped for maintenance! Guess what the other side will do?"

After hearing Yu Yifeng's story, there was silence in the conference room. Everyone was thinking about what they would do if they were the enemy commander.

"Yes, Pangu has not had major maintenance for seven or eight years. It is possible that it will stop."

"The other party will most likely sprint at full speed and try to catch Pangu as soon as possible! Because the entire route looks very safe. Although there is a black hole next to it, the distance is still relatively far and will not cause any obstacles."

"What we need to seize is such a time difference."

"The other party could never have imagined that during the superluminal process of one or two months, a planet would suddenly run onto the route."

"And at this time... boom!"

The conference room was silent again. This time, even a pin drop could be heard clearly...

Immediately afterwards, a lot of discussions broke out. This plan seemed to be feasible logically!

It is definitely a big deal!
