Chapter 107: Astral Fragment Energy

The more Oliver spoke, the more he spoke, the more energetic his brain was like a river: "Just because we can't do something doesn't mean other civilizations can't do it either. If these star fragments can really control the rate of explosion, it must be a more powerful energy source than nuclear fusion!"

Yes, this is a more powerful energy source - astral fragment energy!

According to calculations, an ant-sized neutron star fragment, if suddenly exploded, will explode the sum of the Sun's energy in 3-5 seconds, which is definitely much more powerful than nuclear fusion! {The sun consumes 4 million tons of mass per second}

Although its energy utilization rate is about 7%, still not as good as antimatter energy, but ... antimatter in the galaxy is too rare, too precious, white dwarfs, neutron stars, these things are everywhere ah!

As long as cut a piece down, the mass is large, the amount is sufficient, can be ready to use, just is a good energy source.

Oliver's words left everyone stunned.

This idea is too crazy, for a moment, many people as silly, froze thinking about its feasibility.

People found that if ... really had a way to control the speed of the explosion of the star fragments, it could indeed serve as an energy source!

Oliver paused and continued, "What I said is only hypothetical ..."

"Even if these fragments can't act as an energy source, they can still act as a gravitational source! Just put one inside, it can generate a strong gravitational force."

"Greenlight civilization's ship is not the Noah, I think there is no natural gravity inside, right? No gravity is very inconvenient for the survival of living things, maybe ... cutting a white dwarf star to act as a gravitational source is simpler than anti-gravity technology?"

Cutting a white dwarf or neutron star? Many scientists shook their heads ... It's hard to imagine what kind of technology it would take to do that.

The surface gravity of a white dwarf star is equal to 1 billion times the surface of the Earth! Under such high pressure, any object no longer exists, even the atoms are crushed, and the electrons are out of their atomic orbit and become free electrons.

In this case, it is harder than any material, the hardest human diamond? It is a weak slag!

And the neutron star is even more exaggerated, its surface gravity is 100 trillion times the gravity of the Earth! In this super gravity, what Coulomb force, strong interactions are all no match. The entire atomic nucleus is collapsed, and the protons and electrons are squeezed together to form neutrons. This is how neutron stars got their name.

In this case, cutting a piece to act as a gravitational or energy source? Its difficult ... and only a layman like Oliver would say such a thing.

Scientists prefer to believe that anti-gravity technology is achievable, while cutting white dwarfs, neutron stars is difficult to achieve ...

Think about it, even if you throw the sun at a white dwarf star, it will only produce a huge explosion and it will not lose a single hair as usual. Its solidity can be imagined.

But Oliver does not care about this, anyway, all just a hypothesis, a little more wild does not matter. And his brain came up, simply can not stop: "I also thought of a little ... about the mass of the ship is too large, the problem of high energy consumption, is not the warp navigation? In the warp navigation, the kinetic energy of the ship is zero, so it circumvents the weakness of the ship's mass is too large."

"We simply don't know how warp sailing is achieved, nor do we know exactly how its specific theory ... says, maybe the energy consumption of warp sailing has nothing to do with mass, but only with the volume of the ship?! Yes, that must be it!"

The more Oliver said, the more excited he became, he had a wonderful intuition at this point that he must be right!

All the scientists were dumbfounded and wanted to refute but didn't know how, which gave Oliver an inexplicable feeling of pleasure.

The other day because to assemble the quantum computer, Oliver forced to take a lot of scarce materials from various laboratories, so also quite a lot of blank stares from scientists, and now ... finally find the field!

"Makes sense!"

Dr. Rimbaud, who also had a very big brain, suddenly shouted out loud, as if he was excited to the extreme. He said with a frenzied expression, "Oliver Captain's guess makes perfect sense! Otherwise, we have no way to explain the super-mass of the alien ship, maybe that's it! So ... the green light civilization's ship probably contains a piece of astral fragment with a mass as high as 10^21 kg?"

"This piece of astral debris is most likely the gravitational or energy source of the ship!"

"Moreover, their ship ... should be sailing with a warp engine, which is a way of sailing that we have not yet explored ... It is impossible to accelerate the ship to 40% of the speed of light by ordinary means of sailing alone, and at such a large mass!"

Rimbaud said, the voice gradually became smaller, seems to have thought of what the key point, frowned and sat down.

Obviously, this problem again involves curvature navigation, but people have no idea how it is achieved ... According to this argument, the energy consumption of curvature navigation is most likely only related to the volume, and the mass of the ship has nothing to do with?

All of them are silent. These great scientists here are very strict, now such a blind guess without evidence is not what they are good at. With their status and position, it is also impossible to talk nonsense like a young man like Rimbaud.

Is the green light civilization that was posed by humans really that strong? Could it be that their technology can already cut white dwarfs and neutron stars?

Could it be that cutting technology like ... is really simpler than anti-gravity technology?

It can't be! At least anti-gravity is still possible in theory, but cutting this kind of star ... makes no sense at all, huh?

Many people's minds are in confusion.

But if we follow Oliver's conjecture, it does make sense to explain everything away. Otherwise, up to 6000 tons / cubic meters of average density, how to explain?

The crowd racked their brains, but they did not think of a more reasonable explanation.

The observatory was silent, everyone was thinking about the problem, and Oliver had nothing else to do but play with the gravitational wave telescope.

The small dot representing the green civilization's ship was still motionless, but the gravitational waves emitted were ten times stronger than Sedna. It can be said that Sedna has been firmly "sucked" by the ship, I wonder how to take it away when the green civilization takes off? Can gravitational waves be shielded like electromagnetic waves?

I don't know how it happened, Oliver felt that today's state of courage, a brainstorm is outrageous ... perhaps so long brain work down, his IQ increased?

If this continues, he can also become a scientist!

However, how to shield the gravity of such things, obviously not in the scope of human science, humans are not even very clear about the nature of gravity, and he no longer think about these esoteric issues.

He entered different parameters, and the solar system had never been clearer under the prying eyes of a gravitational wave telescope.

Gravity, the true master of the stars, is what allows the formation of earth-moon systems, planetary systems, stellar systems, galaxy clusters, and other structures because of its presence.

"If only humans could understand the nature of gravity better ..."

Oliver tried, keeping the search distance of the gravitational wave telescope within two light years, and then searched for all stars of different sizes in the solar system, including comets as well as planets.

The quantum computer took a long time because of the large number of stars. When the picture came out, the eight planets in the solar system, not ... the seven planets were visible.

The solar system's sphere of influence is just one light year, in the picture, in addition to several major planets there are a large number of meteorites as well as comets.

But to five or six hundred astronomical units away, there are few dots appear.

In other words, the main mass of the solar system is still distributed in the region within Pluto.

"What is this ...?"

Oliver looked suspiciously at the Oort Nebula, about 0.6 light-years away, and a ... huge, moon-sized dot appeared?

Is there such a planet that far away? This is something that mankind has not been able to discover.
