Chapter 179 Great Development of Science and Technology

With this gravitational wave telescope alone, humankind’s observation capabilities surpass those of green-light civilization.

Not only Yu Yifeng, but all astronomers also regarded it as a treasure, so this issue was only mentioned in the report and was not officially put online. They all know that gravitational wave telescopes cannot be damaged.

Yu Yifeng immediately called several astronomers, materials scientists, and physicists and asked them to come to the captain's room to discuss the problem together.

It is very important to determine the location of human beings, which is related to the next destination of human beings, but the gravitational wave telescope is equally important.

He must discuss the issue clearly with these scientists...

"...Captain Yu, regarding your question, there is definitely a risk of damage."

An astronomer in his sixties explained: "Even if the gravitational wave telescope is protected by a large amount of armor, there is still a risk of damage. The main danger is not cosmic particles, but gamma rays from the sun."

"After the explosion, the sun did not completely disappear, but formed a star similar to a white dwarf. This evolution process is still going on. Although the activity is much weaker than before, it is still possible to emit high-energy gamma rays. ”

"...If these gamma rays happen to hit the telescope, any armor will be useless and everything will melt instantly. Although the probability of being hit is not very high, it still exists."

Yu Yifeng nodded. This was also what he was worried about. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he didn't want to take the chance.

He turned to several materials scientists and asked: "Is there any good solution? Can our current best protective materials block gamma rays? Now as long as you give me a guarantee, whether it is resources or energy, you can Choose, be sure to ensure the safety of the gravitational wave telescope!”

"Just one sentence, okay? Or not?"

One of the most famous materials scientists, named Simov, pondered for a long time and finally shook his head in embarrassment.

"Stellar-level gamma rays cannot be resisted by our material technology. Except for the shell of Noah, neither the materials of the Mars flying saucer nor the materials of the green light civilization can withstand them..."

"Unless we can make the entire defense device large and thick, tens or hundreds of meters thick..."

"Our spaceship flies close to the speed of light. It is very dangerous to build things outside. Moreover, moving large-mass things out will waste the speed of the spacecraft..."

Having said this, Simov paused, "So I think the best way is to wait a few more years.

The farther we are from the sun, the less likely we are to be hit by gamma rays. Moreover, the activity of the sun will also decay with the passage of time... Because it moves close to the speed of light, one year inside us is equivalent to about five years outside. "

Yu Yifeng understood. He sighed. It seemed that there was no solution to this problem in the short term. He had to either take risks or wait for a while...

Science is like this. It cannot be transferred due to the will of a certain leader. Even alien materials cannot do things, let alone human materials. Even the planet-level super fleet was reduced to interstellar dust by the supernova, which is enough to show the powerful power of gamma rays...

Unless, like the Noah civilization, technology has advanced to an incredible level, they may be able to manipulate cosmological constants, cosmic rules, physical laws, etc., so that the hull of the Noah can safely withstand the entire supernova.

Naturally, Simov couldn't agree to Yu Yifeng's serious words.

These scientists are among the top scientists in the human world. Naturally, they are not people who are eager to achieve success. For things that they cannot do, they cannot pat their chests and say: they will definitely be able to do it. This is entirely a matter of personal morality. If these great scientists can reach such a situation, they naturally have their own moral standards.

Yu Yifeng frowned, feeling very hesitant. Should he take the risk, or should he wait a few more years?

"I think it's better to wait a few years." The older astronomer said: "According to the current starry sky map, there are no other stars on our path. The star 187J3X1 located 21.3 light-years away has already It’s the closest one and it’s our better choice.”

"Even if we use a nuclear bomb explosion to change the direction of motion, it can only change a little bit..." said a physicist: "At this speed, the range of change we can make is very small, and it is basically impossible to make the spacecraft face it. Fly towards star 187J3X1..."

In fact, after discussing with physicists, they generally believe that changing the direction will cause the Noah to lose a lot of kinetic energy, and human beings' current resource shortage requires a strong relativistic effect to move forward.

Seeing this, Yu Yifeng could only calm down.

In fact, he also felt that he was too impatient. He really wanted to find a planet as soon as possible to get rid of the current resource shortage dilemma.

But even with accurate starry sky maps, humans cannot adjust their direction even after dozens of light years. After all, this is not just about turning off the faucet with your hands, but about bombing with a large-yield nuclear bomb, so you must be very careful...

So for the next period of time, he also settled down and stopped asking about this astronomical question. He just focused on social system reform and other technological processes.

It has to be said that people have too many scientific research directions, and the 30,000 scientists on the Noah are not enough.

UFO creation, Mars virus, longevity virus, green light drone, perfect element, curvature space, solar explosion, etc. These aspects can be said to cover all areas of science, including biology, physics, chemistry, aerospace, etc. Any breakthrough can light up a large number of technology trees.

One scientific research report after another is like an assembly line, and the breakthrough of science and technology seems to be brainless...

Busy and happy! This is a unique feeling.

The previous busyness was to deal with life and death crises, but now the busyness is completely self-inflicted.

The social system is undergoing major changes, the structure of the spacecraft is undergoing major changes, and the pace of science has also kept up with the pace, giving people a feeling that social changes are changing with each passing day.

At the same time, Yu Yifeng also felt his own progress. He can finally understand many profound reports, and he can also say a few words about many advanced topics.

Lines of formulas and laws contain infinite charm and beauty. Whenever a difficult problem is solved, the joy is incomparable. Even Yu Yifeng felt this way, not to mention the scientists who were the first to bear the brunt of the impact.

They worked enthusiastically, not for money or honor, but because they really liked it.

So much so that the government began to enforce the latest time to get off work: 10 pm. No one is allowed to stay in the laboratory after this time!

This also triggered a small wave of protests... Of course, the protests were ineffective.

First of all, materials science has finally made large-scale progress. With so many inspirations from alien materials, if there is no progress, these scientists are simply pigs.

Felix, Simov and others cordially invited Yu Yifeng to attend the launch of this new material.

A material launch conference that marks an era!
