Chapter 616: Planning the Escape
Yu Yifeng added: "240 towers are already capable of planetary-level curvature engine drive. The test just now has proved this. So, we are already capable of leaving here."
"How to cover up the traces of the planet leaving? Where should we go?"
These two questions are the primary difficulties facing people.
The departure of an ordinary spacecraft is silent. But this is not the case for a planet. The huge gravitational fluctuations are very conspicuous in the gravitational detection equipment.
"Starting such a huge 'semi-finished' curvature engine will leave traces of dark matter disorder." An expert stood up first and said.
This kind of trace, like some footprints in the forest, is not particularly clear, and will slowly calm down with the passage of time.
But they do exist after all.
Based on these traces, the direction of the planet's movement can be determined, so as to intercept it.
On the other hand, superluminal motion is not unobservable due to different observation angles, but the information is delayed and chaotic.
This point has been well verified in astronomical observations over the years. People have observed superluminal phenomena many times.
"If a spacecraft moving at superluminal speed is observed directly behind its direction of movement, whether through gravitational waves or photons, its speed of retreat can be seen, which is still the speed of light... Pay attention, it is not impossible to observe."
"... Combined with the traces of dark matter and thermal radiation, if the enemy arrives here in time, they can still infer the direction of our escape. Although it is only a direction, if a white dwarf war star suddenly runs in front of us in the same direction, a gravity cannon can blow us out of the superluminal environment!"
"Our curvature engine is not fully completed. The maximum speed is only three times the speed of light, which is not fast. It can't run very far and it is impossible to withstand the gravity cannon."
An expert in this field listed the various limitations of curvature navigation on the screen. Combined with these conditions, all the congressmen were a little nervous.
The last hurdle for people to escape is not easy to pass.
The same is true for Yu Yifeng. Most of the time has passed. When he thought that the unknown enemy might be on the way, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
"It has come to this point. If the ship really capsizes, it will be a sin..." He thought secretly in his heart. The reputation of Pangu has risen sharply in these years. It can be said to be a kind of work fulcrum for the new human beings.
A spacecraft is small in size and mass, and there is no gravitational wave. It cannot be observed after flying one light year away. But for a planet, these traces are relatively obvious. How to cover up the traces of gravitational waves, thermal radiation and dark matter is a cosmic problem, and the new human beings have no way to do it for the time being.
At this point in the discussion, everyone began to think hard.
After a while, Yu Yifeng frowned and broke the silence first: "Even if it is only 3 times the speed of light and can't run very far, we need to leave as soon as possible. Staying here is a sure death."
"In this process, we can try to change direction constantly and try to get rid of the opponent. The more directions we change, the more chaotic the traces will be. At least, the enemy has not appeared yet, and we should still have time."
Having said that, Yu Yifeng still felt unsafe. Although it is easy to escape pursuit by moving at superluminal speed, what they are discussing and pursuing here is a 100% success rate and the absolute safety of the people. This conventional evasion method cannot be said to be absolutely safe.
Even if humans are given 5 years to escape, they can only escape a distance of 15 light years.
For an ordinary spacecraft, this distance is safe enough, but for a planet, it is still far from enough.
Only 15 light years...
No one knows how fast the white dwarf battle star is, how powerful the gravity cannon is, and how large the range can be. Once caught, the entire civilization may be in great danger!
This problem is like a dark cloud, shrouding people's hearts and lingering for a long time.
Because the safety problem has not been solved, the entire Noah has not been moved to the "Pangu" battle star. This is completely ready to escape at any time!
"Wait a minute!"
The one who spoke abruptly was Dr. Rimbaud, "I've thought of some ways..."
"First, it is to use the information disorder caused by superluminal motion. We can design a special method..."
The gravitational wave telescope of the new human has been running for so many years, and has also observed various strange "moving" planetary spacecraft. Including various long "noodle" gravitational sources, and various strange phenomena of flying backwards.
This scene is caused by the "superluminal" movement.
Observing from the rear of the superluminal motion direction, it will be found that the speed of the spacecraft is still the speed of light. This is easy for everyone to understand.
Observing from the side of the motion direction, the situation is a little complicated because of the different angles. Sometimes you can see various discontinuous points slowly connected together, like noodles divided into several sections.
Even several "noodles" appeared at the same time, some of them were moving forward, some were moving backward, just like wriggling worms.
Sometimes you can see the "noodles" constantly stretching, stretching, and it is possible to stretch out several light years!
Of course, standing in front of the superluminal movement, the situation is different. There is no way to directly observe this movement, and the information is greatly delayed. The new humans have encountered this situation several times. When they attacked the Anteque civilization, they took advantage of this situation.
"The speed of gravitational waves is the same as that of photons. As a kind of information transmitted at the speed of light, the situation is similar." Dr. Rambo gestured with his hands. "In the past 600 years, we have observed planetary spacecraft at superluminal speeds 6 times. 2 times, it was difficult to determine the direction of movement due to the large confusion of data. The length of the opponent's gravitational source was several light years... There were also 3 times when there was ambiguity in judgment, and there may be several directions.
"And the last time, it can be clearly judged."
"From this, we can design a special motion trajectory to disrupt the opponent's observation. At least when solving mathematical equations, multiple characteristic solutions should appear..."
"When the opponent comes here, they will definitely observe us where we are now. As long as they don't know our departure direction too comfortably, it will be fine. "
This is very realistic. Designing a route that disrupts the line of sight is more ideal than making random turns.
Many numerical experts also frowned and pondered, judging the time when the other party might come and the scenes that might be observed under different navigation trajectories.
Next, astronomer Professor Thomson spoke: "I observed another planet similar to Mercury 8.9 light years away. Its mass data is slightly less than that of our war star... The difference is no more than 3%. Can this planet mislead the enemy?"
"...I think that we can use a large number of ordinary engines of spacecraft to forge the disordered traces of dark matter. At the same time, we should design our escape route as close to that planet as possible. "
Everyone was silent for a while. What can we say about this plan?
This kind of imitation, or making the other party "mistakenly believe", is actually very difficult...
