Chapter 333 Planet Dig 114

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll be there soon."

After Yu Yifeng hung up the phone, he immediately said goodbye to Xu Yunjin and others, and then set off for the Deep Space Observatory.

"How is it, have you found anything?" Yu Yifeng asked slightly panting as he entered the door.

A large group of astronomers were discussing several photos. When they saw Yu Yifeng, they immediately surrounded him.

"Look at the white spots on the surface of this planet... We suspect it's... a nuclear bomb! It's a nuclear bomb!" A young astronomer said excitedly.

Yu Yifeng squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the picture in front of him. It was an astronomical photo of the planet Dig 114, which is about 6.8 light years away from here.

These photos are too blurry. After being magnified many times, the brightness is very dim, and the resolution is not high.

From these photos alone, he, an outsider, didn't see anything wrong...

This is the fact. Even if humans have become a true interstellar civilization, there is no way to clearly observe Earth-like planets 6 light years away...

This is not because the telescope cannot be made stronger and larger, nor is it because the manufacturing technology is insufficient, but... the universe itself has a limit resolution!

On the scale of quantum mechanics, scientists believe that there are virtual particles in the universe. Subsequent physical experiments have also continuously observed and confirmed these particle phenomena.

When light from the distant universe passes through a long distance of space, the space-time foam caused by virtual particles will interfere with the light. This interference is also a bottleneck of radio telescopes.

Therefore, the universe has an ultimate resolution, and the diameter of the radio telescope also has an upper limit. After reaching this upper limit, no matter how the aperture size is adjusted, it is impossible to see more clearly and farther.

Unless humans come up with new theories and develop new observation technologies, they can bypass the limitations of electromagnetic wave observation...

It is difficult to observe, which is also a natural protective barrier for low-level civilizations!

"Is there anything wrong with this photo?" Yu Yifeng looked at it for a long time without success, and asked with some doubts.

The researcher pointed to a place in the photo, where there was a white dot of about one or two pixels: "Look, this white dot is an obvious abnormal data."

"In the six months of recording, this white dot appeared a total of three times! Each time lasted about one or two seconds."

"Why do you say it is a nuclear bomb? Is there any basis?" Yu Yifeng asked again.

This photo has been magnified many times, and its resolution is relatively poor. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the appearance of a white spot...

"This is just a guess."

The voice of another middle-aged man came from the observatory: Professor Thomson: "These photos were taken during the curvature navigation. You know, in the curvature bubble, all observed astronomical images must be restored by computer, and the amount of calculation for this part of the data is very large."

"It was not until a few days ago that all these data were processed. The anomalies of these photos were also discovered and given by the computer..."

"We analyzed it and found that there may be several white light spots in total."

"What is it?" Yu Yifeng asked with interest.

If this white spot is indeed a light spot caused by a nuclear bomb, then... there is at least one modern civilization in Dig 114!

Moreover, there is still an internal war!

Nuclear war!

This is more interesting, a civilization with nuclear bombs? Yu Yifeng thought with his chin in his hand.

After all, "Dig 114" is people's first target next. If its existence is confirmed, people's strategy needs to change.

Professor Thomson said slowly: "The first reason may be the natural exposure of the astronomical telescope... There are also some lights on the surface of our Deep Space spacecraft, and perhaps they interfere with the work of the telescope."

"Second, there may be some problems with the algorithm of our computer image restoration system, and there are bugs in the processing of some photos. We are also checking this aspect."

Yu Yifeng nodded.

"The first two are internal factors of our instruments. The third possibility is that this planet is indeed experiencing a nuclear war! Because... the images we observed are not just one, but three times!"

"... This kind of nuclear bomb must be of a higher equivalent, so it has such a strong brightness."

Yu Yifeng frowned tightly. He was thinking about another problem: the new human civilization has not yet had a very clear diplomatic strategy... If it encounters a civilization with a higher level of technology, how should it be dealt with?

Should we find a time to discuss this matter?

He subconsciously asked: "Are there any other reasons? Does such a luminosity require a large nuclear bomb to produce it?"

"Yes!"

A young researcher nodded seriously and said: "Unless someone shines a highly concentrated laser at our telescope from more than 6 light years away... This is almost impossible!"

"Or, the super-large ion engine similar to the Deep Space has such a luminosity. They are not testing interstellar spacecraft, right? I think the probability is quite low..."

Having said that, Yu Yifeng will not give up thinking about this aspect just because the probability is low. Maybe "Dig 114" also gave birth to an interstellar civilization?

The Deep Space engine can indeed emit bright light!

He expressed his doubts, and it is always better to be careful.

However, Professor Thomson shook his head disapprovingly: "Ion engine? Impossible. In the video, such a light spot only lasted for a few seconds, and then quickly dimmed. It is impossible for the ion engine to only work for a few seconds... …”

Several people discussed it again, but to no avail.

Finally, Yu Yifeng said helplessly: "Let's eliminate the technical factors first, and then closely observe the 'Dige 114 planet' to see if the same situation will happen again..."

"Now there is no curvature bubble on the surface of the spacecraft, and the telescope should be able to directly observe the other party. We will stay on this planet for a while... you should observe closely during this period!"

In this way, Yu Yifeng left the observatory full of thoughts, and at the same time, he also thought of more things.

He believes that... the development of stronger frigates, that is, the "Titan" class, must be faster!

Destruction is always easier than creation. Primitive people can paralyze tanks even if they rely on trap stones.

The weapons of low-level civilizations also pose a certain threat to humans, and that is... nuclear bombs!

Nuclear bombs are simple and crude, and humans have not yet invented a weapon more powerful than it.

Although the new human civilization is an interstellar civilization, its foundation is really poor. It is only a mothership!

If the Deep Space was hit face-to-face by a large-yield nuclear bomb, it wouldn't be able to survive... If it was blown up, it would be unthinkable!

Its defense capability is really not good, and it cannot survive a trillion-ton tetrahydrogen nuclear bomb.

Yu Yifeng couldn't help but think of Hei's suggestion: transform the metal planet into a planet-level spacecraft right here...

Planet-level spaceships have rough skin and thick flesh. Facing ordinary nuclear bombs, their skin will only break a little, so it doesn't matter...

But when he thought about the amount of work, Yu Yifeng's scalp went numb and he immediately gave up the idea.

The mass of this planet alone is 700 billion tons, and the Deep Space is only in the 10 billion tons level... It is not the same order of magnitude at all, but a difference of hundreds of millions of times!

It’s not that humans don’t want to, it’s that they are powerless!
