Hand rubbing nuclear fusion live in the wilderness

Chapter 543 Betelgeuse on the verge of supernova explosion

At the beginning of the design of the dock, South Korea took into account the issue of how the spacecraft will be transported after it is manufactured.

Compared with ordinary airplanes, space shuttles, and launch vehicles, the tonnage of spacecraft is too large.

Ordinary traction equipment can't pull this big guy at all.

However, compared with ordinary aircraft that use various reverse thrusts to lift into the air, a spacecraft with a magnetic field anti-gravity engine will not cause damage to the surrounding environment during flight.

Although the strong magnetic field has an effect on nearby creatures and various equipment, at least it does not move when it takes off.

So it has the ability to take off vertically and be built in a shipyard building.

On the first take-off of the spaceship, Won did not directly enter the spaceship, but huddled from the outside of the dock and watched.

On the one hand, it is a safety issue. On the other hand, watching a behemoth with a diameter of more than 500 meters lift off from the outside is far more shocking than nesting inside the spacecraft.

Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, even Han Yuan himself, when he hadn't really experienced this kind of scene, he couldn't imagine how spectacular the scene was.

The top of the dock was opened, and looking down, a snowflake-shaped spaceship reflected black light under the sunlight.

"The magnetic field anti-gravity engine has been inspected!"

"The controllable nuclear fusion reactor is operating normally, and the output power adjustment system is stable"

"The inspection of the superconducting magnet is completed! Liquid helium is being injected."

"The liquid helium injection is complete, confirm that the engine temperature has reached the critical value, and start powering up!"

"The current has reached a critical value, and the engine magnetic field position is being adjusted."

"."

"Spaceship Zero is ready to take off at any time, please give the order to the master."

Xiaoqi's voice rang in the ears of Han Yuan and the audience in the live broadcast room, which made people feel excited.

Han Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Start the test."

"receive."

As Xiao Qi's voice fell, the behemoth that landed in the black dock made a slight buzzing sound.

With the injection of electric energy from the controllable nuclear fusion reactor, the superconducting coil in the magnetic field antigravity engine starts to work, and the huge energy surges up under the constraint of the magnetic field, and then transforms the injected liquid helium into a special form of helium. Helium ions.

Numerous special forms of helium ions flow in the engine at extremely high speeds, generating a huge magnetic field, which is the key to providing power against gravity.

[It moved, it moved, it moved. 】

[Leave the ground! 】

[Fuck!Really fly! 】

[I can't believe that something weighing 12 tons can fly, so everything can be built in the air in the future. 】

[Fake, fake, this is definitely a pre-prepared CG! 】

[12 tons!I can't imagine that it is equivalent to flying two aircraft carriers into the sky. 】

[Anti-gravity engine!Really awesome, fully worthy of the name. 】

[I remember the Saturn V before the United States, with a load of more than 3000 tons, which is the highest historical record. Ordinary aircraft can reach the sky with only a hundred tons. 】

[Looking at it, I want to play eve again, the Titan is bigger than this one, with a diameter of eighteen kilometers! 】

[In eve, I am the guy who carries the materials.Can you believe that a Titan is worth 1 yuan?The direct economic losses caused by a virtual game war exceeded 120 million yuan, can you believe it?Can you believe that a game war has become a national war? 】

[Is it the shore of the land? 】

[Qq Zhibin is also embarrassed to touch porcelain EVE?As soon as the titans fire the doomsday weapon, they all have to be wiped out. 】

【Damn it, I just feel like it's a waste to use this spaceship for the anchor?It's also too big. 】

[The diameter is 550 meters, and the area is close to 25 square meters. Even if nearly half of the open area and unusable areas are removed, the usable area of ​​this spaceship is at least [-] square meters. 】

[The area of ​​a community is only about [-] to [-] square meters, but it is not a problem to squeeze tens of thousands of people in a community, right?It's a waste to give the anchor one person. 】

[If I have such a spaceship, the small island nation will have to kneel down and call Dad tomorrow. 】

With the launch of the zero spacecraft, the discussion in the live broadcast room reached its peak of heat again.

Although everyone was prepared in their hearts, when the spaceship with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters flew up, everyone was shocked.

[-] square meters, the area of ​​a community in an ordinary city is no more than that. When such a spaceship flies up, even if it is separated by a distance, you will still only have a feeling, that is, 'the sky is falling'.

The huge spacecraft blocked all the sunlight, and Han Yuan, who was standing on the ground, felt that the sky was getting dark in an instant.

That shocking feeling cannot be given by playing games and watching movies.

No matter how much the audience in the live broadcast room yelled, they didn't have the same empathy as he actually came to the scene.

After finally recovering from the shock, Han Yuan stared at the huge spaceship not far away, took a deep breath, and commanded: "Xiaoqi, start the test."

"Xiaoqi received it, and the delivery inspection of the zero aircraft is about to begin."

In the observation room, Xiao Qi's voice sounded, and immediately, the giant hovering on the black dock slowly flew towards the north.

With the shooting equipment, Han Yuan walked out of the observation room and followed closely behind.

After a while, two shadows, one big and one small, appeared on the empty test field.

The behemoth hovering above the test site started the factory test under the control of Xiaoqi and the core intelligence of the spacecraft.

Everything from the stabilization system to the energy regulation system to the magnetic control system needs to be tested.

Especially the magnetic control system, which is the most stringent requirement of the won.

Because the magnetic control system involves the flight and stability of the entire spacecraft, as well as the generation of artificial gravity.

This is the key equipment to ensure that he can stand on the ground stably and maintain normal body during long-term space voyage.

The test in this area is realized through a large-scale magnetic attraction experimental device, and the magnetic attraction device is deployed under the ground of the test site where the No. [-] spacecraft is currently hovering.

This kind of magnetic attraction device can simulate and create different types of gravity in different areas, just like fields, some fields have high gravity and some fields have low gravity.

Under the influence of similar gravity in different regions, the magnetic control system needs to control the magnetic field anti-gravity engine at the bottom of the spacecraft to complete different power outputs to resist the influence of gravity and keep it still.

With the large-scale activation of the magnetic attraction device on the test site, the intelligent core on the spacecraft also sensed the change of gravity for the first time, and allocated computing power for data calculation and adjustment at the first time.

Although the intelligent core on the No. [-] spacecraft made adjustments quickly, it was still visible to the naked eye that the spacecraft suspended in mid-air was shaking slightly, just like a ship sailing in the sea encountering wind and waves.

However, this level of shaking is completely acceptable to the Korean won.

In the case that the magnetic attraction device greatly changes the influence of regional gravity on a large scale, the intelligent core of the spacecraft can still make rapid adjustments to maintain the spacecraft in a relatively balanced and stable area. Its performance, whether it is the spacecraft, Or intelligent core are quite good.

And under normal sailing conditions, the spacecraft will not encounter the problem of large gravity changes in a small area like the test site.

When navigating in the universe, unless you encounter a very few sudden situations, the gravitational changes in normal situations are gradual.

After completing the detection of the magnetic control system, Won temporarily left the test site.

Although I really want to go up and feel it, and I really want to drive a spaceship to gallop into space, but it is better to be cautious before the test process is completed.

Anyway, the test time is not too long, only 45 days, and I have endured it for more than a year, so there is no reason why I can't hold it for a month and a half.

During this period of time, he can just perfect the side-chain tasks of the outer space exploration mission and the Mars transformation plan.

Both of these don't require him to worry too much. With Xiao Qi and Xiao Ling around, whether it is the establishment of the main task of the extraterrestrial base, or the branch tasks of resource collection and galaxy data collection, he only needs to maintain a certain amount of attention. up.

Including the data related to the Mars transformation plan, artificial intelligence can calculate it much faster than humans. He only needs to provide ideas and ideas. As for the specific data calculations, leave it to the computer.

So in the next period of time, Han Yuan expects that he will be relatively free, pay attention to the data every day, and write a plan.

Although the audience in the live broadcast room is urging to get the spacecraft to take them to the moon and Mars as soon as possible, but before the test is completed, the Korean won will not go to the sky easily.

The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 days passed.

These more than 20 days were indeed as expected by Won at the beginning, quite leisurely, a few hours of perfunctory live broadcast every day, or directly pulling the camera to the test site to take pictures of the spacecraft being tested, almost passed .

Just when Han Yuan thought that life would go on like this until the spacecraft inspection was completed, Xiao Qi threw him a huge bomb.

"Master, there is an abnormality in Betelgeuse, the key target you let me pay attention to. After testing and comparing the data, it is suspected that Betelgeuse is about to enter a supernova explosion."

In the workshop, Han Yuan, who was eating custard fruit while looking at the observation data of various planets, was stunned when he heard the news.

"Betelgeuse, is it about to explode as a supernova?"

After confirming that he had heard correctly, Han Yuan opened his mouth in disbelief. After a while, he quickly said, "What about taking pictures and analyzing data? Let me see."

Although last year when Betelgeuse was observed through the infrared outer space telescope, it was known that Betelgeuse had entered the old age of life.

And from the frequency of carbon flashes, it is roughly judged that Betelgeuse may erupt within 50 years, but he never thought that Betelgeuse would erupt in just over a year.

He was so shocked at this moment that he couldn't believe it.

Soon, a virtual screen unfolded in front of his eyes, and Xiao Qi sent over the photos and analysis data of Betelgeuse.

The first thing Han Yuan looked at was the photo, not just one photo, but dozens of photos.

The first photo is a comparison of two photos, the left is the complete picture of Betelgeuse, and the right is the enlarged area.

From the enlarged map of the area, it can be clearly seen that there is a huge crack on the Betelgeuse star.

Those were scars from massive carbon flash explosions, and the star hadn't had time to repair itself.

Carbon flash is one of the reasons and one of the preludes for a massive star to go supernova.

韩元看了下照片记录的时间，2028年9月23号12点43分。

而现在的时间是2028年9月23号14点35分，也就是说这次碳闪发生到现在还不到两个小时的时间。

Of course, this two-hour time does not refer to the time when the carbon flash actually occurred, but refers to the filming to the present.

After all, Betelgeuse is more than 600 light-years away, and it takes more than 600 years for light to reach the earth.

In fact, this carbon flash has been happening for more than 600 years, but it was only photographed by an outer space telescope 15 minutes ago.

Won was not surprised by the occurrence of carbon flashes, which are quite common for a massive star in its later years.

And because the burning rate of carbon is too fast, it will burst the outer shell of the star and last for a while. This phenomenon is often used to judge the state of the star.

Seeing the carbon flash from the first photo, Han Yuan quickly jumped to the next one, and the second photo caught his eyes, causing his pupils to constrict suddenly.

The second photo was taken at 14:47, with an interval of [-] minutes. The photo is also composed of two photos, the original image on the left and the enlarged image on the right.

The original image looks normal, but on the enlarged image on the right, a huge black spot can be clearly seen, which is completely different from the light red image synthesized around it.

It looks a bit like a photo taken when the sun erupted with large sunspots, but Han Yuan knows that Betelgeuse in his later years will not have stellar activities similar to sunspots.

Because its bright wall structure has disappeared. The bright wall structure is the basic structure of a mature sunspot, which is composed of umbra, penumbra, bright bridge and other parts. The formation of sunspots is often accompanied by the appearance of the bright wall structure of stars.

As for the massive stars in their later years, their structure is different from that of early and mid-term stars, just like the sun will expand after entering the old age, and the photosphere will spread out, and the bright wall structure will disappear at that time.

That is to say, if you want to see this kind of sunspot on an old star, there is a high probability that the star begins to collapse, and the expanding surface is retracted by gravity.

Once a massive star in its later years begins to collapse, it means that it has entered the final stage of its life: "supernova explosion".

Because the collapse is irreversible, once the collapse begins, the fate of the star is doomed, unless the Creator comes to right it.

After seeing the second photo, Han Yuan breathed a little and flipped through the photos behind.

Judging from the photos in the back, the black area is getting bigger and bigger, which means it is self-evident.
