Chapter 629 Black Hole Catapult

"3.2 light years away from the current position of Pangu, there is a binary star system consisting of a white dwarf and a black hole..." A three-dimensional star map appeared in front of the conference room.

The white dwarf is unremarkable, about 1.1 times the mass of the sun. The black hole is about 4.6 times the mass of the sun, not large,

but this black hole is not an ordinary, stationary Schwarzschild black hole, it is rotating at a speed close to the speed of light, pulling 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 particularly rare.

But its nature is still full of mystery to scientists. What is inside a black hole, and whether it is a channel to another universe, people still know very little. Any detection instrument will be crushed into dust as soon as it approaches a black hole.

Conventional physical rules will also fail in the internal measurement of the black hole event boundary.

The detection of black holes is not a difficult task. 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 the Tiekui civilization, there is a long-abandoned interstellar outpost near this Kerr black hole... It was left by them ten thousand years ago."

"... In fact, it is an ordinary earth-like planet. It is orbiting the black hole from a distance. The orbit is roughly an ellipse, and the orbital eccentricity is about..."

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

"In this sensitive and complex gravitational system, as long as the orbit changes slightly, the planet will be pulled in by the huge gravity of the binary star!" An astronomer stood up, with a slightly ruddy face, and explained the whole plan.

"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 use the angular momentum of the black hole to exchange 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 affected by the energy feedback from the black hole and be ejected frantically. At this time, these stars will produce very high and powerful speeds that can easily break free from the gravity of the black hole."

"This speed and kinetic energy are beyond the reach of ordinary planetary engines..."

"After our design, these large amounts of matter thrown out, as long as they are aimed in the right direction, can create a... planetary-level impact event!" There was even a simple animation on the screen, which detailed the entire mechanism of action.

The incredible process stunned some of the participants in the conference hall.

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

It can also accelerate a planet? It's a joke, right?

But scientists have written the entire calculation process completely on the screen, and some laymen can only hold back their surprise and re-learn new knowledge.

"Planet impact?"

"It sounds wonderful and powerful."

"But the LLP Silicon Alliance's war stars are not stupid. No matter how fast the kinetic acceleration is, it can never match the warp speed. They can't just let the planet hit their own planet, right?"

"Yes, their gravitational wave telescope can easily detect black holes and white dwarfs. They will definitely slow down and pay more attention. As long as the orbit is slightly changed, the collision will not happen!"

A series of doubts appeared in the venue, some of which were technical, and some questioned the entire grand strategy: even if it really succeeded, it might not be able to hit.

"Also, is the ejected matter accurate enough? Once such a huge stellar mass is thrown out 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 fails to start the curvature engine in a large gravitational environment, it will be swallowed by the black hole."

"So we must maintain a safe distance... at least 15 astronomical units, right? At such a long distance, how far does the projectile have to fly to hit the target?"

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

Due to the limitations of gravitational wave broadcasting, the Tiekui civilization only roughly 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 found the feasibility of it.

"Five AUs, not too close to the binary system, theoretically safe."

"As for how the matter ejected by the black hole will hit the enemy's war star... there is a detailed plan for this. The things involved are quite complicated, 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, there is no way to observe the outside world in the superluminal state! 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!
