Chapter 375 Is It Safe?
Normally, except for the curvature engine, the limit of information transmission speed is the speed of light, and the same is true for observation methods.
It is impossible to observe the entire universe using curvature navigation...
"So, any information in the universe is delayed. Since everyone's observation speed is the speed of light, this means: when you see me, I also see you, and we are equal to each other!" Rimbaud shot He shouted at the table and stood up excitedly.
"It's impossible for an unwarranted light-speed strike to occur, because we haven't seen the opponent's figure yet. Is it just a light-speed strike? Unless there is some kind of super-light speed observation method... I don't know what kind of technology it is from L..."
Just thinking about it, the Sword of Damocles hanging above his head disappeared, and even Yu Yifeng breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was too chaotic and frightening just now, and all dangers were magnified exponentially, but I didn't expect this...
But the crisis is still not over. Maybe the next moment, human gravitational wave telescopes will discover traces of the other party. As a result, the other party will also discover humans at the same moment, and then start a war!
People have to think of another way!
Everyone's minds began to become active again. They were discussing in a hurry, trying to find more things that could be used...
It would be too unwilling to just run away in despair, because people really know the value of Gaia's creatures, and they cannot just give it up to alien civilization!
In just one month, it has become quite familiar with humans, and people have gradually let down their guard. Many biologists and educationists are very fond of this strange and powerful creature.
"Think about it, what more information have we overlooked?" Dr. Rimbaud said excitedly.
As a result of this discussion, we really found more useful ideas. There is no need for humans to be so afraid!
"Attention, our biggest advantage now is that we know the other party's existence in advance! However, the other party most likely does not know our existence..."
"Knowing the other party's existence in advance is something we can take advantage of!"
"Now let's think from the other side's point of view, that is, put ourselves in their shoes... Suddenly we learned of the existence of a high-value Gaia creature. If you were a civilized commander, what would you think?"
Yu Yifeng said without hesitation: "I'm shocked, excited, and excited! So I can't wait to send a large force to the planet Dige 114, eager to catch this Gaia creature! As soon as possible... catch it!" "
"During this period, it must be a maximum speed warp voyage, exceeding the speed of light... Is there any problem with this?"
"Yes, that is indeed the case! This is a normal and civilized behavioral logic..."
Having said this, Dr. Rimbaud was so excited that he couldn't care less about his image at this time.
"But... when the large force of spaceships approaches this star system, let me ask everyone, will the speed of the spaceships slow down? The premise is: without knowing the existence of another force..."
Yu Yifeng blinked, and his heart suddenly moved. The answer was: yes!
Because in interstellar navigation, the difference is a thousand miles, and super-light flight cannot detect the outside world, which is equivalent to "flying blindfolded." After a period of time, no one knows how much the route has deviated. The speed must be reduced to observe the outside world, and then the route must be corrected.
When humans flew from "GB131" to "Dige 114", they slowed down many times.
On the other hand, there must be a large number of comets and meteorites within the influence of the star! If you are "blindfolded" and fly faster than the speed of light within the influence of a star, the risk is very high. There is a certain probability that the spacecraft will collide with something like a meteorite.
Although traveling in curvature, the spacecraft does not have much kinetic energy. But after the surrounding curvature bubble is forcibly broken, the explosion that occurs is definitely more powerful than a nuclear explosion!
In this way, when the enemy spacecraft is far away, it should reduce its speed to below the speed of light and correct its course to avoid possible planetary collisions.
"Although the probability of this planet impacting is lower than the probability of winning the lottery, who knows? This kind of danger should be avoided, right?"
"The further you sail into the star system, the greater the probability of a collision. According to our navigation safety regulations, the speed will slow down when you almost reach the Oort Nebula of the star, which is about 0.6-0.8 light-years away. "
"Since our safety regulations are like this, then there is a high probability that the other party will also be like this..."
"The opponent is coming towards us. As long as it moves below the speed of light, the enemy's spacecraft will be detected by us after a while!"
Yu Yifeng was startled. What Lan Bo said made perfect sense!
No matter how impulsive, urgent, or crazy the other party is, they cannot ignore the safety regulations of interstellar navigation. Doesn’t the other party want his life? In particular, the other party doesn't know that humans are also causing trouble on this planet... They can't be so anxious that they act like madmen, right?
"Professor, is it possible to ignore the asteroids ahead in curvature navigation?" For safety reasons, Yu Yifeng habitually consulted an expert.
As a result, the expert immediately shook his head: "It's impossible. Just like a soap bubble, if something large invades, it will definitely burst and cause a huge explosion..."
"This is also the safety regulation that should be avoided when sailing in warp speed!"
Everyone started to get excited. This discovery was so important and it was in line with the logic of a normal civilization!
If you want to get close to a star, you have to slow down at a distance for various safety reasons!
Once you slow down, you will be discovered by humans!
Of course, due to the limitations of the speed of light, this discovery will be delayed for a long time. If the new human civilization really finds the other party at a distance of 0.8 light years, in fact, because the speed of the other party is also sub-light speed, the actual situation may be 0.4-0.5 light years away. When the other party is detected, a huge blue shift can be seen.
But even if the other party also discovers humans at the same time and immediately uses light speed to attack...
That's useless.
These light speed weapons take 0.4 years to hit humans!
0.4 years, people would have run away long ago!
The huge distance is the best survival barrier for humans!
But soon, Security Minister Xu Yunjin shook his head and questioned that for such security issues, humans must not imagine too good, but should make it as bad as possible.
"Yes, according to the safety regulations of navigation, it is true, but the speed of light propagation must also be calculated. Seeing it from 0.8 light years away is the most optimistic estimate. Our estimate should be as conservative and demanding as possible!"
"0.3, if the other party has calculated a large number of navigation trajectories in advance, and in this emergency situation, ignores the safety risks of meteorite impact, we only found the other party at 0.3 light years... so what?"
"0.3 light years found, assuming that the other party is traveling at sub-light speed and can observe the speed of the outside world in real time is 0.6c... The actual distance is about 0.12 light years, and the light speed strike will take nearly 44 days, which is too long. We can still escape easily!" An expert made a rough calculation and said without hesitation.
"What if the other party is crazy and takes great risks to slow down only when it is 0.1 light-year away from the star? The risk of meteorite impact at 0.1 light-year can still be ignored."
"When we find the other party, the actual distance is only 0.04 light-years..."
This time the answer took a lot longer, but he still said: "We... can still escape! But there are certain risks. At most, we can use the curvature engine in a place with large space curvature! 0.04 years, electromagnetic waves need 14.6 days to propagate, which is enough!"
"What if it is within 0.1 light-year?" Xu Yunjin pressed on.
"...The degree of danger depends on the other party's caution! The closer the other party is to the planet, the more dangerous we are."
The expert calculated and said with gritted teeth: "10 days! Our Deep Space needs to take a huge risk and directly start the curvature engine in a large gravity environment. The critical point is 10 days!"
"What if it is closer!" Xu Yunjin asked persistently.
"It's unlikely! Taking huge risks, flying at superluminal speed in a star system with eyes covered, the other party is desperate! Are they all crazy! Want to fly into the star?"
"I think the other party will never escape superluminal speed within 0.1 light years!" Dr. Rambo slammed the table and said loudly.
After the deduction, everyone calmed down. If it was really like this, the danger was a bit different from what people imagined.
At least everyone was safe before the other party's spacecraft was detected by humans.
"As long as humans don't detect the other party, the other party will definitely not know the existence of humans?"
Hearing Dr. Rambo's reasoning, Yu Yifeng frowned. He felt that this conclusion was strange. Soon, he thought of something else. This idea made his heart, which had just relaxed, beat wildly again.
Because it directly overturned... this seemingly very safe conclusion!
Safety ass? !
