Chapter 456: Black hole, is it a type of energy?
With Shen Bei's limited knowledge, or as common sense, he still knew what things had a mass of 0.
Photons.
That’s right, photons at the speed of light.
Theoretically speaking, the reason why the speed of light is so fast is because the mass of a photon is 0, or infinitely close to 0.
This is also why the speed of light cannot be exceeded, because humans cannot create something with zero mass...
Not to mention spaceships.
Shen Bei asked tentatively: "The Doomsday-class starship and the Shadow Immortal have such a large size and capacity, so can they also have a mass of 0?"
Lingxi Zhiling replied, "The data shows that as long as there is sufficient energy, this is not a problem. It is a necessary and common function, just like the cars of the old times that could run at 300 kilometers per hour. It can be done."
Shen Bei: ...
Shen Bei took a deep breath. This metaphor was just right.
Not all cars can go 300 mph.
But 300 mph is not the ceiling of car speed. As long as you are willing to spend money, there are many cars that can exceed 300 mph.
The same is true for spaceships. Not all spaceships can fly faster than the speed of light, but the top spaceships can do it easily.
But this involves a problem that Shen Bei dare not imagine: energy.
How much energy would be needed to reduce the mass of a spacecraft to zero?
Relying on the crystal core? Even if we kill all the ferocious beasts on Earth and dig out their brain cores, I'm afraid they won't be able to last for even a second, right?
Shen Bei couldn't help but ask: "Energy, what kind of energy is used to maintain such a huge output?"
Lingxi Zhiling replied: "The most convenient energy source is naturally solar energy."
"You're kidding me?"
The corners of Shen Bei's mouth twitched.
It’s hard to imagine what a weird scene it would be if the entire spacecraft was covered with solar panels.
If you don’t know, you might think that the old-fashioned photovoltaic industry has gone to the countryside.
Shen Bei shook his head and spoke again: "That's simply nonsense. The solar power is too small to sustain such a huge energy output."
Lingxi Zhiling quickly replied: "This solar energy is not the old-fashioned way of collecting energy with solar panels."
"Instead, it creates a black hole that actively absorbs solar energy."
Shen Bei: ???
what?
What did you hear?
Make, create a black hole?
hiss!
Shen Bei's head exploded.
Are deep space lifeforms so wild? What kind of unique skill is this?
Shen Bei choked up and asked speechlessly, "Are you sure?"
"Both the World-Destroying Starship and the Shadow Immortal possess this technology. Of course, this isn't their only way to fly faster than the speed of light, but it is the only way to avoid areas where the rules change."
"Then... can you explain to me how to create a black hole?"
"OK……"
Lingxi Zhiling explains the principles and processes of using "black holes" to absorb sunlight and "solar energy" from the shallow to the deep, step by step.
Shen Bei didn't quite understand what he heard.
There are too many theories mixed in it, at least to Shen Bei, they sound very mysterious.
Or rather, I don't understand it at all.
However, I have a general understanding of it.
In simple terms.
The purpose of creating a black hole is to absorb solar energy!
Even astronomy novices know that black holes swallow everything, not even light can escape.
There will be large-scale distortions around the black hole.
This distortion not only distorts time and space, but also distorts light.
That is to say, suppose there is a black hole with an area of 1 square.
After distorting space and time, it can capture sunlight over an area of up to "millions of square meters!"
You can imagine carrying around a solar cell the size of Egypt in ancient times...
Moreover, photons cannot escape and must be absorbed 100%.
If there were ten black holes like this... their main area would only be 10 square meters.
However, the area that can absorb light is as large as the land area of China in the old times.
Such a huge energy absorption is so powerful that it is terrifying and makes people's scalp tingle.
The basic "black hole" that wants to achieve this "almost continuously free energy"
That is when a device is involved.
Black hole generator.
Core components:
Quantum Energy Focusing Array: This is a highly complex device that uses quantum entanglement to concentrate large amounts of energy into a very small space. This process involves extracting elementary particles from the surrounding space and accelerating them in a specific way until they reach a state sufficient to generate an extreme gravitational field.
Gravitational wave modulator: Once the quantum energy focusing array reaches the necessary energy density, the gravitational wave modulator begins to work, precisely adjusting the relative positions of these energy points to form a stable tiny singularity. The device also ensures that the resulting black hole does not grow out of control.
Spacetime Stabilization Ring: A series of advanced force field generators installed around the black hole's formation area to maintain the stability of the local spacetime structure, preventing the black hole from causing unpredictable effects on the surrounding universe. At the same time, these force fields also help to keep the black hole at a fixed size.
……
Lingxi Zhiling listed tens of thousands of other components in total. When it initially refreshed the name data on the visual mask, the refresh speed was so fast that Shen Bei almost vomited.
But the most important ones are the above three.
The other involves the working principle.
Energy Collection and Compression: First, the spacecraft uses its efficient solar panels or other energy conversion technologies to quickly accumulate huge amounts of energy. This energy is then directed to the quantum energy focusing array.
Singularity formation: When enough energy accumulates inside, the system will activate the gravitational wave modulator and begin to finely control the energy distribution pattern, eventually leading to the birth of a micro singularity.
Black hole management: As the singularity appears, the spacetime stabilization ring is immediately activated, creating a protective barrier that prevents the black hole from growing while allowing external matter, such as sunlight, to be drawn in. Furthermore, a sophisticated feedback control system monitors the black hole's state and makes adjustments as needed.
Light energy conversion: The small black hole sucked in actually acts as a super-efficient energy collector. When light passes through the black hole's event horizon, the energy it carries is converted into other forms inside the black hole, such as directly into electricity or other usable resources, and then output to the spacecraft through special channels.
Shen Bei was not very interested in the principles and didn't want to look at it.
But as a "captain" if you don't understand anything or have never heard of it, then you are indeed incompetent.
I watched it with my nose pinched.
Of course, it is good to understand. If there is a situation, Lingxi Zhiling will tell you what to do and how to repair it.
But if we trust intelligence too much, humans will become mentally retarded.
Just like a digital watch, it tells you what time it is, because you can't estimate what time it is out of thin air, you can only rely on the digital watch.
If, suppose, one day, an electronic watch adjusts its time by itself, humans will still not be able to detect it.
This is excessive trust and dependence.
Back to the black hole.
All the equipment and theoretical background for creating black holes are based on the extension of superstring theory, multi-dimensional space theory, etc.
After hearing so much, Shen Bei now has only one problem.
The Tiangong spacecraft doesn’t have this thing!
During these upgrades, no equipment capable of creating a black hole has ever appeared.
Shen Bei asked, "If we want to equip a black hole generator, how long will it take from scratch?"
Lingxi Zhiling was silent for a while, as if assessing the time.
Finally, he said, "If there are sufficient manpower and resources, and with no logistical or safety concerns, and with my guidance, and unconventional equipment as the foundation, the entire process could take about 100 to 150 years."
Shen Bei: ...
My goodness, even in the best-case scenario, it will still take another 150 years!
Go to sleep.
"If necessary, we have a shortcut." Lingxi Zhiling said.
"Ok?"
"I saw the 'black hole generator'"
“???” Shen Bei was completely confused.
No... Is this thing a piece of junk?
At most, there are only two on Earth, right?
Can you still see this?
Damn it!
