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 excluded from the list of the eight planets.

But in addition to these eight planets, the edge of the solar system is also full of celestial bodies composed of rocks and ice.

There are many celestial bodies outside the orbit of Neptune, and they form the famous Kuiper Belt. Some celestial bodies in the Kuiper Belt are very small and easily disturbed by the gravitational force of nearby large planets. For example, the gravity of Neptune has a great impact on them.

But there is still a group of celestial bodies in the Kuiper Belt that move very independently, and their orbits are very different. Some celestial bodies even revolve around the sun, while others have extremely high eccentricity (very flat ellipses), and some orbital planes are upturned, forming a significant angle with the ecliptic plane.

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

So, some scholars put forward a hypothesis that there must be other massive celestial bodies that are also secretly exerting force somewhere, that is, the famous ninth planet.

While the ninth planet has not been found, another conjecture has gradually 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.

In general, a black hole in theory is formed by the evolution of a star, 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, and density, but infinitesimal volume.

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

So this black hole at the edge of the solar system is not a normal black hole, but evolved in another way, a primordial black hole.

The primordial black hole is not evolved from a star, but a black hole formed by the spontaneous condensation of high-density matter. The density of this black hole is not as large as that of a normal black hole, and the size is not as large as that of a normal black hole. The observed gravitational field is also much smaller than that of a normal black hole.

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

Qin Yue knew that there was such a black hole in the Kuiper belt, so he ran over directly, and according to the public data of 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 a black hole mean?

It means that as long as matter is put in, a large number of particles will be produced, including the quantum that Qin Yue needs.

With the quantum obtained by this trick, you can manufacture a quantum industrial mother machine, and then produce quantum by yourself, thus officially entering the third-level civilization, quantum civilization!

However, the premise of entering the quantum civilization in this way is that you have to be a force field civilization. The warship has no strong force field protection and can't withstand the gravity of the black hole at all. The quantum is a particle that produces an entanglement effect. This kind of thing disappears without a trace when it is a little farther away from the black hole.

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

So Qin Yue has to make a force field generator first.

There are ready-made red gold, azure gold, and emerald gold in the star sea. What if there is no real gold?

There is also a way, which is to compress the metal.

The density of the conventional metal magnetic field is too low?

Then can't it be compressed? The higher the density, the larger the magnetic field generated after the power is turned on.

Ordinary processing equipment cannot do it. After all, it involves a strong interaction force field. Even if you use a billion-ton hydraulic press, you can't shorten the distance between atoms.

But black holes can. Black holes can even completely annihilate the distance between atomic nuclei, and even compress quarks into paste, not to mention the mere compression of metal.

Sometimes Qin Yue really feels that China may really be a chosen civilization?

You know, the progress of civilization of many civilizations is quite slow. They have been wandering in primary civilizations for billions of years, and they don't even have a inherited text. The tribes have been born for tens of thousands of years, and they seem to have brains, but they don't even have a two-story building, nor do they have their own texts, books, let alone their own history.

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

That's not the end. The earth has a complete range of elements, 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, it can go to the universe, unlike the unlucky guy like Valor, whose gravity is three times that of the earth. If it weren't for the aliens coming, they would basically have no chance of entering space.

There are many planets next to the earth, and all kinds of materials are also very complete. Even if the mines on the earth are mined, they can still be mined in the universe.

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

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

Do you think that civilization will have a low level of civilization if it doesn't even go out of its own galaxy?

Come in and see that he is a third-level!

It's a pity that people on earth like to fight among themselves, and some countries like to hold back and not see the good of others. It should have developed to this point twenty years in advance, but it stopped because of the struggle for interests, and it has only now been caught up by China.

Qin Yue shook her head, gave up her random thoughts, and looked forward.

He saw a magnificent circular silhouette of a hole made of solar photons, and he also "saw" the black hole during instrument detection.

The visual distance of the black hole 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 is less dense than the black hole formed after the collapse of a star, and denser than a neutron star, before the two.

"Huh?" Qin Yue suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something similar in his hand.

Joan element?

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

What is the difference between Qiong and Taichu black holes?

Qin Yue also didn't know that he didn't have the tools in his hand to study these two things. The Qiong element was indivisible and could not be destroyed. It did not react with any element. The black hole was even more inaccessible and could not be studied.

But you can't look at it from a distance, it's very aloof.

We can only collect data from a distance, then take a photo and send it to the Chinese astronauts.

"Professor Qin, what is this? A black hole? Why is this 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 him to reply after he sent the picture. After such a long time, Qin Yue had no enthusiasm for chatting.

He hung up the phone, then flew the spaceship around and found a pretty good planet.

This planet has a diameter of 64 kilometers and is shaped like a potato with one end larger and one smaller.

Qin Yue drilled a hole in the potato, and then started processing the materials brought from the earth and pulled from the asteroid belt, and then he built an experimental base covering an area of ​​2.5 acres.

The Changsheng Vein plays an important role in this. The Changsheng Vein can corrode any substance, simulate any element, and then reshape 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 dares to drive a spaceship into space. Without the ability in the sea of ​​stars, who would dare to be so wild in reality!

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

He used these materials to build an engineering robot first, and then used the engineering robot to build an engine, which he installed on the meteorite so that he could fly around the black hole instead of flying all over the Kuiper Belt.

Continue grabbing materials along the way to build a mining spaceship.

After being mined, it is first refined 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 completed in mid-June, and by the time the first batch of black hole compression alloys were born, it would already be August.

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

The Kuiper Belt is very dark, and the distant sun is almost invisible to the naked eye, but this shield is the first time such brilliant light has lit up here.

Moreover, it is still artificial light.

I did all the work in Xinghai, so I won’t write it down again.
