Chapter 170 Black Hole Event Horizon
Something special happened to this black hole galaxy with a huge number of dead stars.
According to the information that has been intercepted near the black hole, there may be incredible secrets in the black hole.
Li Wenyuan backed up the consciousness data that was about to sink into the black hole. Although mechanical consciousness can make him fearless, he still needs to be mentally prepared to really enter the interior of this mysterious celestial body.
Material is torn and dragged by gravity, and then the accretion disk produced by high-speed friction is still releasing a strong stream of rays outward.
This is one of the important means of "observing" a black hole, because the black hole itself cannot be seen.
The disk-like luminous disk surrounds the darkness in the center, and whether it is the detection of ray flow or gravitational anomaly, it can simulate an invisible celestial body in the virtual world.
The spaceship is approaching. Although the strong jet is deflected by the shield, after a certain degree of approach, the shield system outside the spaceship will also fail, and the next step is to rely on the armor to carry it.
The anti-gravity system also starts to work as the distance gets closer. This tool, which is the same as the working principle of the "matter decompressor", and uses "gravity against gravity" has performed its duties well.
According to the current strength, at least before entering the "event horizon" of the black hole, this spacecraft carrying part of Li Wenyuan's consciousness will not be torn to pieces by tidal forces like the matter in the accretion disk.
But what will happen when entering the "horizon of vision" is only a guess so far.
Horizon, this is the boundary between the inside of the black hole and the outside of the black hole. According to common sense, everything such as light, signal, data, etc. cannot escape from here.
What Li Wenyuan is going on now seems to be a road that can only enter but not exit. Even if the anti-gravity technology of the matter decompressor can make the compressed matter leave the black hole, it is difficult to guarantee whether his spaceship will be a ball when it comes out again. A highly compressed substance.
But this matter itself is nothing to be afraid of, even if he can't get out, he just lost a spaceship and part of his consciousness data, and he has already made a backup.
As the event horizon of the black hole gets closer, the universe seen from the perspective of the spacecraft also gradually changes.
The huge mass of a black hole will always affect the surrounding cosmic environment, and the curvature of space-time here has changed.
The sensor is still constantly correcting the position of the stars, but the speed of the signal being transmitted has gradually slowed down.
The elongated space prolongs the delivery time, slowing it all down.
At this time, some scientists who were conducting alien investigations on the dead planet in this black hole galaxy also inadvertently noticed that a spaceship was approaching the black hole.
The border of the galaxy is not closed. Since this is just an experiment, Li Wenyuan did not drive away those scholars and tourists who have been here for a long time.
Scientists here have lived here for several years, studying dead planets and black holes all day long.
Relying on the adaptation to the dead planet with their own genes, and the living cabin prepared in advance, they can also live on the dead planet and carry out their most beloved scientific research work.
Observing black holes from the stars at close range is what they do all the time, so when a signal from a spacecraft is detected at an incredible distance, each of these scientists showed a surprised expression.
“…was the unmanned spacecraft inadvertently captured by the gravity of the black hole? Or was it simply the fanaticism of a certain researcher?”
"The 'Guardians'? Have they discovered something from the black hole?"
This "Mechanical Lost Empire" is a super civilization recognized by the galaxy. After experiencing so many galactic crises, everyone understands that the technological level of the "Guardians" does not seem to be the level that the galaxy should exist.
If this civilization conducts research on black holes, then they must have discovered more than all other civilizations in the galaxy.
These scientists were very concerned about this, and then concentrated on observing the movement of the "Guardian" spacecraft.
As time goes by, the spacecraft is getting closer and closer to the "event horizon" of the black hole.
It seems that its speed is getting slower and slower, but this is actually an illusion caused by the increasing curvature of space-time.
And when Li Wenyuan was about to come into contact with "Horizon", he once again received the message that has been around here since a long time ago.
The photons here are in a critical environment that is not sucked in by the black hole, but cannot leave. They orbit the black hole, forming a "ball of photons".
The gravitational lensing effect at this position is unprecedentedly large. Looking straight to the side of the spacecraft, what you see is not the universe and darkness, but the tail of the spacecraft.
The light surrounds this position, as if the spaceship itself is distorted into a "ring".
The string of information that is "trapped" here is at this level of boundary, and only brave warriors who dare to come to this distance can receive this string of "brave" messages.
【…I see the end of time, the endless loop…】
【And all of this will be recorded here】
The human scientist named "Professor" left such a message, which sounds like a godsend, and it should not be something that a scholar who has studied physics all his life should say.
But Li Wenyuan is also looking forward to it, hoping to know the secrets here through this trip to the black hole.
The scientists who were observing on the dead planet witnessed the spaceship slowing down from sub-light speed to turtle speed and approaching the black hole little by little during the long and boring wait.
Until a certain limit is reached, the spacecraft no longer moves by a micron, leaving only an image that seems to be in the fall forever.
The observing scientists also sighed, knowing that this means that the "Guardian" spacecraft has entered the "event horizon".
From then on, they will no longer know the fate of the spacecraft, and everything that happened in the "horizon" will be unknown. This image will be the last trace until the red shift of the image becomes larger and larger, and then disappears completely in this universe.
"...I really hope that the Guardians can discover something... We have been studying black holes for so long, even if there is nothing in the black holes, this matter itself is enough to make our wish fall..."
The scientist sighed, but never moved away from the observer aimed at the black hole.
He knows that the space-time inside the black hole does not flow linearly, and his civilization also has an allusion similar to "watching chess and playing bad games". Perhaps his behavior will be an extremely long wait.
But he believes that the mechanical intelligence of the "Guardian" will definitely be able to gain something.
