Chapter 119 Megastructure
Lao Zhao took the photo back to the headquarters. Wang Ning and Bai Zhen took a look and frowned: "What is this?"
"Black Moon's hometown." Zhao Bowen replied.
The two old friends were startled.
Bai Zhen snatched the photo from Zhao Bowen and opened his eyes wide, but no matter how close he got, he could only see a ball of sesame paste.
Lao Bai couldn't even tell whether the photo was right side up or down. He turned the photo 180 degrees, then turned it back 180 degrees. No matter which angle you looked at it from, it was just a mass of black and white noise.
If it is the Black Moon's lair, then the Black Moon's lair looks really abstract.
It looks like a steamed bun.
"This is the massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. It has a diameter of 40 million kilometers and a mass four million times that of the sun." Zhao Bowen took off his coat and casually draped it over the back of the sofa, then sat down and took a breath. "This is a fresh photo taken today, the second black hole photo in the world."
"What does a black hole look like?" Bai Zhen asked, "Doesn't a black hole have a glowing turntable..."
"Accretion disk." said Zhao Bowen.
"Why can't you see this?" Wang Ning asked, "This photo is so blurry that you can't make out anything. The telescope you used is not good. Not only are you extremely nearsighted, but you also have astigmatism."
"We have used the most powerful telescope in the world. If this telescope doesn't work, then the people on Earth can't find a better telescope." Lao Zhao poured himself a cup of hot water and slowly held it in his hand. "What do you think you can see? A big black hole like Gargantua in Nolan's movie? Comrades, most of the celestial bodies you have seen in documentaries and movies, we can't see clearly. At best, it's just a point of light. The more you zoom in, the blurrier it becomes. It's quite appropriate to say that it's due to high myopia and astigmatism."
"If it's myopia and astigmatism, then the degree is not low." Bai Zhen said, "At least 2,000 degrees."
"In the universe, humans have hearing, but not much vision," Zhao Bowen said. "We can hear what the stars are saying, but we can't see what they look like."
"Then how can we see it clearly?" Wang Ning frowned as he stared at the black and white noise on the photo. "Didn't you say it was the Black Moon's lair?"
"There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by the caliber. If there is, it is because the caliber is not large enough, whether it is a cannon or a telescope." Old Zhao took a sip of hot water and said slowly, "The largest telescope we have now can only measure the diameter of the earth. When we can make the diameter of the telescope as large as the earth's orbit, we will be able to see its true face."
"How do you know it is the Black Moon's lair?" Bai Zhen asked.
"Because our observation results do not match the predicted results, when studying the fine structure of the shadow of the massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, the astronomical team found that its structure is inconsistent with the calculation. So, either Einstein is wrong, or there is something wrong with this black hole." Zhao Bowen is quite proud of his discovery, "but we all know that Einstein has not missed it yet."
"The thing that could have made Einstein so angry that he crawled out of his coffin is now in the next room," said Bai Zhen.
"What does it mean that its structure is inconsistent with the calculated one?" Wang Ning asked.
"To put it simply, it is not like a naturally formed celestial body. Its structure is affected by more than one gravitational source in the center of the accretion disk. There are multiple gravitational sources inside it. It's like if you find a huge cube-shaped celestial body in the universe, you definitely know it was not formed naturally. This black hole may be surrounded by an intelligent civilization structure with a diameter of 40 million kilometers." Zhao Bowen replied.
"Fuck."
Both of them were startled.
"Speculations, these are all speculations. Before further observation results come out, I will not bear any legal responsibility for what I said." Lao Zhao added.
"Is there any way to try to have sex with him?" Bai Zhen asked, pointing at the photo.
"It's 26,000 light years away from us," Zhao Bowen said. "How can you hit it with a single shot? Do you think you're a pillar?"
"Then there's nothing we can do about it?"
"If you have any ideas, please bring them up and we'll hold a meeting to discuss them." Lao Zhao put down his water cup.
"Hold."
26,000 light years is an unimaginable distance. From now on, if we shoot a beam of light from the Earth toward the center of the Milky Way, it will take 26,000 years for it to reach the center of the Milky Way.
On the huge scale of light years, all strategies and tactics are a joke.
"So we're just going to stare at each other?"
"You can also close your eyes." Zhao Bowen said, "But we are not completely helpless. The black hole is so far away from us, but the black moon may not be that far away. It will land on Earth in a few years, so it must not be too far away from us. It may even be within the solar system."
"Then think of a way to kill Black Moon!" Bai Zhen became energetic again.
Before the black moon arrives, we will ambush it halfway and catch it off guard.
"This is not within our scope of work. If someone wants to launch a Black Moon attack, someone will do it." Zhao Bowen waved his hand, "I just don't know whether it's the Hedgehog Project or the Human Cannon. This is not our job. We work behind enemy lines and underground, not on the front lines."
"Then I will apply to be transferred to the front line, comrade team leader, please approve it from the organization." Bai Zhen said.
"I also apply to be transferred to the front line, comrade team leader, please approve it from the organization." Wang Ning said.
"Don't even think about it. What do the National Defense Science and Technology Industry Bureau and the General Assembly want you two old bastards to do?" Zhao Bowen said, "Transfer you to sweep the floor?"
"I can sweep!" Bai Zhen said righteously, "For the Party and the country, for the Chinese nation, and for the future of all mankind, I will sweep without regrets."
He then added:
"Just let me touch the human cannon."
"You're just a fool. It's still unknown whether the human can build a cannon. Just listen to the plan. The satellites are placed outside the solar system." Zhao Bowen sighed and turned to look at Lao Bai and Lao Wang. "Brothers, you really don't think... there is a possibility for us to win on the front battlefield, right?"
Both of them were stunned.
"I...I think it sounds feasible."
Whether it is the Hedgehog Project or the Human Cannon Project, the grandeur and boldness of the plan are unprecedented in human history. Although it seems unreliable to resist alien creatures with the current strength of mankind, they are aliens. Isn't it like kneading humans like playing with clay? You can make them round or flat - but Bai Zhen and Wang Ning, with their combined life experience and knowledge reserves of nearly a hundred years, analyzed this matter over and over again, and the more they analyzed, the more they thought it was possible.
As long as the internal structure of the Black Moon is supported by the four fundamental forces, it makes no sense that it will not be affected by nuclear weapons or directed energy weapons. Aren't gamma-ray bursts that can kill gods and Buddhas just gamma rays? If we build an oversized gamma-ray laser, we can also master the power of cosmic explosion.
"If it was really feasible, we wouldn't be able to communicate in the future 20 years from now, and the inevitable defeat would have been doomed," Zhao Bowen said. "The so-called frontal battlefield is a group of people who know they will die but still rush forward."
Bai Zhen and Wang Ning both fell silent. Old Zhao's grandson really didn't leave any room for negotiation.
Everyone in the command center knew that the outcome twenty years later was already determined, but if the inevitable defeat was already determined, then what was the point of them fighting so hard?
"Is Yangyang in the room?" Zhao Bowen suddenly asked, "What time is it? I should ask the girl over there how she is preparing. Time is life. It's time to launch the second phase of Operation Dongfanghong."
After saying that, he picked up the photo on the coffee table again, pinched his chin and stared at it for a long time, and said softly: "A giant structure with a diameter of 40 million kilometers, what kind of monster is this..."
