Chapter 173 The Light of the Kuiper Belt

As we all know, there are currently eight planets in the solar system. Pluto, the former ninth planet, was downgraded to a dwarf planet because it was too small, and was excluded from the eight planets.

But in addition to these eight planets, the edges of the solar system are also dotted with stars composed of rocks and ice.

There are so many stars outside Neptune's orbit that they form the famous Kuiper Belt. Some stars in the Kuiper belt are very small and are easily disturbed by the gravity of nearby large planets. For example, the gravity of Neptune has a great influence on them.

But there is still a group of stars in the Kuiper Belt that move very independently, and their orbits are very different. Some stars even orbit the sun, others have extremely eccentric orbits (very flat ellipses), and some orbits are tilted upward, forming a significant angle with the ecliptic plane.

To produce such an effect, one Neptune is not enough, and certainly one Pluto is far from enough.

Therefore, some scholars have put forward a hypothesis that there must be other massive stars secretly exerting force somewhere, which is the famous Planet Nine.

While Planet Nine has not yet been found, another conjecture has slowly become popular, that is, the black hole hypothesis.

These people believe that it is not a planet that causes this strange phenomenon, but a black hole.

Generally speaking, black holes in theory evolve from stars. That is, after the collapse of a super-large star, all the weight is compressed to infinitesimal, thus giving birth to a celestial body with infinite gravity, mass, density, and infinitesimal volume.

The smallest black hole discovered so far has a diameter of 24 kilometers. If such a black hole were placed in the solar system, its gravity would be as eye-catching as a cockroach on a monk's head.

Therefore, the black hole at the edge of the solar system is not a normal black hole, but evolved through another method, a primordial black hole.

The primordial black hole did not evolve from a star, but was formed by the spontaneous condensation of high-density matter. This black hole is not as dense as a normal black hole, nor as large as a normal black hole, and its observed gravitational field is also smaller than a normal black hole. a lot of.

Why it can exist stably without expanding, no one knows. After all, human beings' understanding of the universe is still very superficial.

Qin Yue just knew that there was such a black hole in the Kuiper Belt, so he ran over directly, and based on the data disclosed in his previous life, he went straight to the target point.

Then when he was still hundreds of kilometers away from the black hole, he detected abnormal gravitational field fluctuations.

"We're here!" Qin Yue was a little excited. What does the black hole mean?

This means that as long as matter is put in, various particles will be produced in large quantities, including the quantum that Qin Yue needs.

With the quantum obtained through this trick, we can build a quantum industrial mother machine, and then produce the quantum ourselves, thus officially entering the third-level civilization, the quantum civilization!

However, in order to enter quantum civilization in this way, you must be a force field civilization. Without a strong force field to protect the battleship, it cannot withstand the gravity of the black hole. Quantum is the particle that produces the entanglement effect. This kind of thing is far away from the black hole. A little further away and disappeared without a trace.

If you can't get close to a black hole to collect quanta, then don't even think about entering quantum civilization.

So Qin Yue has to create a force field generating device first.

In the sea of ​​​​stars, there are ready-made Fei gold, Zhan gold, and Emerald gold, but what should we do if there are none in reality?

There is also a way to compress the metal.

Is the magnetic field density of conventional metals too low?

Wouldn't it be enough to compress it? The higher the density, the larger the magnetic field generated when electricity is applied.

Ordinary processing equipment cannot do this. After all, it involves a strong interaction force field. Even if you use a billion-ton hydraulic press, you can never close the distance between atoms.

But black holes can. Black holes can even completely eliminate the distance between atomic nuclei and crush quarks into paste, let alone compress metal.

Sometimes Qin Yue really feels that China might really be some kind of chosen civilization?

You know, the progress of civilization in many civilizations is quite slow. They have been wandering around in primary civilizations for billions of years without even a single word being passed down. Tribes have been born for tens of thousands of years, and they seem to have brains. But it doesn’t even have a two-story building, and it doesn’t have its own words or books, let alone its own history.

But it only took China five thousand years to develop from a relatively primitive civilization to a highly prosperous civilization, and it also promoted the development of surrounding primitive civilizations.

This is not the end. There are a wide variety of elements on the earth, and there are many metals suitable for industrial use.

The earth's gravity is moderate, so as long as the industrial level reaches a certain level, you can go into the universe. Unlike unlucky guys like Valo, the gravity is three times that of the earth. If aliens hadn't come, it would be impossible for them to step into space.

There are many planets next to the earth, and all kinds of materials are available. Even if the mines on the earth are exhausted, you can still mine the ones in the universe.

Jupiter, which is full of hydrogen and methane, is more like a naturally occurring mineral source, waiting for the earth to develop and then rush to other galaxies.

What’s even more shocking is that there are relatively harmless black holes at the edge of the solar system. People on earth can use this black hole to directly develop into a third-level civilization without leaving the solar system!

Do you think that the civilization level will be low if that civilization has not even ventured out into its own galaxy?

When I came in, I saw that he was level three!

It's a pity that people on Earth like to fight among themselves, and some countries like to drag their feet and can't bear to see others do well. They should have developed to this point 20 years earlier, but they stopped because of the conflict of interests, and were caught up by China until now.

Qin Yue shook his head, gave up his wild thoughts, and looked forward.

He saw a magnificent, empty circular silhouette composed of solar photons, and in the instrument detection, he also "saw" this black hole.

The black hole's visual distance is 4.6 kilometers, and the diameter of the black hole is 4.8 centimeters.

This is a standard primordial black hole, which still follows the gravitational field equation, but the density is smaller than that of a black hole formed after the collapse of a star, and the density is greater than that of a neutron star, which is between the two.

"Hmm?" Qin Yue suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something similar in his hand.

Qiong element?

Isn't the density of Qiong element greater than that of a neutron star and less than that of a black hole?

What is the difference between Qiong and primordial black holes?

Qin Yue didn't know, he didn't have the tools to study these two things, Qiong elements can't be divided or destroyed, and don't react with any elements, and black holes can't be approached or studied. They can only be viewed from a distance, but not touched, and are very cold. He can only collect data from a distance, then take a picture and send it to the Chinese astronauts. "Professor Qin, what is this? Black hole? Why is the data so small? Is it a primordial black hole that only exists in theory? Why are you looking for a black hole? Hello, hello." Qin Yue didn't answer, because it took a long time for the other party to reply after he sent the picture. Qin Yue had lost the enthusiasm for chatting after such a long time. He hung up the phone, and then drove the spacecraft around and found a pretty good planet. The diameter of this planet is 64 kilometers, and it is shaped like a potato with one end big and the other small. Qin Yue drilled a hole in the potato, and then took the materials brought from the earth and pulled from the asteroid belt and started to process them. A 2.5-acre experimental base was built by him. Among them, the Changsheng vein played an important role. The Changsheng vein can corrode any substance, simulate any element, and then reorganize it into the shape Qin Yue wants, which is comparable to the effect of an atomic-level 3D printer.

This is the fundamental reason why Qin Yue dared to drive a spaceship to space. Without the ability in the sea of ​​stars, who dared to be so extravagant in reality!

After the base was built, Qin Yue still had a lot of materials left in the laboratory.

He used these materials to build engineering robots first, and then used engineering robots to build engines, which were installed on this meteorite, so that he could fly around the black hole instead of flying all over the Kuiper belt.

Along the way, continue to grab materials and make mining spacecraft.

After the mines are dug back, they are first refined and purified into various metals, then smelted into various space alloys, and finally sent into the black hole, processed into denser space alloys, and finally pulled back.

In mid-April, the spacecraft left the earth, and Qin Yue arrived in the Kuiper belt at the end of May.

The base was built in mid-June, and when the first batch of black hole compression alloys were born, it was already August.

In mid-August, Qin Yue, who had obtained enough black hole compression alloy, began to manufacture a force field generator. By September 5, a blue shield composed of countless hexagons and pentagons lit up in the Kuiper Belt.

The Kuiper Belt is very dark, and the distant sun is almost invisible with the naked eye. This shield is the first time that such a brilliant light has lit up here.

Moreover, it is artificial light.

All of this is work done in Xinghai, so I won’t repeat it again.
