It's Reasonable for Me, a Level 2 Civilization, to Have a Binary Sunset Flaw, Right?

In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!

Is Earth in danger?

It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!

The Trisolaran s...

Chapter 680 Tachyon Communication Experiment!

Kepler-452 star system.

As the [Star Eater] arrived at its target star system and successfully mined two of its iron planets, a message was sent from the [Earth] laboratory and spread throughout the entire fleet with lightning speed.

The tachyon information transmission experiment is about to officially begin!

Tachyons, due to their unique properties, have caused the entire research project to run into difficulties more than once.

The control of faster-than-light particles once exceeded the level of human technology.

As expected, the key breakthrough in the entire experiment was achieved by Lü Yongchang.

In the process of repeated experiments, he discovered a magical and crucial phenomenon.

When a tachyon carrying a large amount of energy passes through a high-intensity gravitational field, its frequency will change slightly.

This created the necessary conditions for tachyon communication!

First, the energy released by the high-energy laser beam is used to slow down the tachyons as much as possible.

This is a prerequisite; otherwise, the gravitational field wouldn't have time to change the frequency of the tachyon before it "escapes" to infinity.

Furthermore, through repeated experiments, the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered that in order to change the frequency of tachyons, in addition to real requirements on energy, there are also strict requirements on the strength of the gravitational field.

To address this, Lü Yongchang proposed a highly creative solution.

By controlling two miniature black holes to rotate relative to each other, a sufficiently powerful miniature gravitational field can be created.

Then, by controlling the micro black hole, subtle changes in the gravitational field can be manipulated, thereby affecting the frequency of the slowed tachyons.

This is an extremely bold idea, and also an extremely dangerous one.

Therefore, when the plan was first proposed, most of the academicians in the laboratory expressed their opposition.

After all, controlling a single micro black hole is already very dangerous, and the danger of two micro black holes cannot be simply estimated by 1+1\u003d2.

Even if we disregard the potential dangers, given the technological level of human civilization at that time, it would have been impossible to accomplish such a defying-the-sky feat!

For this reason, the entire tachyon communication project was indefinitely put on hold.

Until another breakthrough was made in gravitational field control technology.

This long-forgotten plan was rediscovered by Lü Yongchang.

After the successful first experiment controlling a binary black hole system, the research and development of the tachyon communication project was revitalized and is progressing at an extremely rapid pace!

To this day.

The first tachyon communication device in human history has been successfully developed.

...

Lu Yongchang stood solemnly in the laboratory, his gaze fixed intently on the fluctuating data and information displayed on the holographic projection.

"Have the test results come out yet?"

He asked in a deep voice.

"The third pre-power-on check has been completed, and no abnormalities have been found," Fang Xu replied nervously, swallowing hard.

After he finished speaking, he even raised his hand and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It seemed as if that unassuming, enormous device in the holographic projection was some kind of ominous creature.

Seeing this, Lü Yongchang couldn't help but chuckle: "What's there to be nervous about?"

Is this thing really that scary?

Hearing this, Fang Xu gave a wry smile: "Professor, are you kidding me?"

"There will be two miniature black holes inside!"

"It's just a miniature black hole." Lü Yongchang shrugged. "You have to trust our technology; the methods for controlling miniature black holes are already quite mature."

Fang Xu: "..."

He said weakly, "No matter how mature they are, they are still two miniature black holes."

"If they collide... the consequences would be dire!"

“It can’t be hit!” Lu Yongchang raised an eyebrow, interrupting Fang Xu. “I said it can’t be hit, so it can’t be hit!”

"This is the power of technology!"

"Besides... it's not even on the Earth, so what are you so nervous about?" Lu Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu with a strange look. "You kid, have you gone crazy from staying up all night lately?"

Fang Xu's lips twitched slightly, and the tension on his face quickly dissipated: "Ahem... Professor, all tests have met the standards, and we can begin the experiment at any time."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lü Yongchang immediately issued the order.

"Power on!"

...

The moment the words fell, the massive energy generated by antimatter annihilation began to accumulate inside the mobile experimental ship located in the vast universe.

Inside the experimental ship, two stable miniature black holes are installed.

This is an important component of the tachyon communication device.

Due to current technological limitations, the entire system appears quite bulky, but it's not much of a problem for a medium to large-sized starship.

However... before a breakthrough is made in miniaturizing tachyon communication technology, it would be difficult for small starships to carry such a device.

In response, Lü Yongchang proposed a simple solution: whenever the fleet needs to enter a second-order warp state exceeding 10c, small starships should be crammed into medium-to-large starships.

Let's get back to the main topic.

As enormous energy gradually accumulated, the experiment officially began.

Under the precise control of Zero, the powerful gravitational field pulls the two miniature black holes toward the vacuum experimental chamber in the center.

The distance between black holes is getting closer and closer.

Under the control of a powerful external gravitational field, the two miniature black holes maintain an extremely delicate distance from each other.

Like a stable binary system, they began to orbit each other.

A distorted yet regular gravitational field and gravitational waves emanate from it.

It was like a guqin playing a beautiful melody.

The next moment, hundreds of high-energy laser beams were emitted from the walls of the spherical experimental chamber.

These high-energy lasers were directed straight at the centers of mass of the two black holes.

(Center of mass: The center of mass is a hypothetical point on a material system where the mass is believed to be concentrated.)

Inside the Earth.

"The mobile experimental ship has completed its preparations."

As Lü Yongchang's deputy, Fang Xu carefully examined the data provided by Ling and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Activate the curvature engine."

Lu Yongchang tilted his head slightly, staring at the mobile experimental ship in the holographic projection, and said softly.

If not told beforehand, who would imagine that there are two miniature black holes inside such an unassuming starship!

Fang Xu took a deep breath, calmed his excitement and trepidation, and then gave the order in a deep voice.

"Activate the warp drive!"

"Using the first navigation plan as the standard, begin warp navigation!"

The entire navigation plan is very simple.

After entering the curvature state, the mobile experimental ship will continue to accelerate until it exceeds 10c, which means it enters the second-level curvature state.

During this process, the tachyon communication device and the quantum communication device will continuously transmit information to the Earth.
