[Deep Starry Sky-06]
Ke Shaobin just opened a few cans of different flavors and wanted to taste it. After hearing the conversation between Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce, he immediately put down the food, raised his head and asked, "Xingwen, I also felt that the spaceship was shaking just now, what's going on? ?"
Yue Xingwen said: "It seems to have stopped?"
Since there is always a vast starry sky outside the porthole, and the scenery outside the window did not change much when the spacecraft was flying normally, they could not judge whether the spacecraft was moving through the outside reference.
When everyone heard Yue Xingwen's words, they ran to the command room to see the situation.
The little blue dot that represented the spaceship really stayed where it was. Ke Shaobin wondered: "Is it a system problem? Why did it stop suddenly?"
Just then, a dazzling red alert popped up on the screen—
[Warning, a cosmic black hole is found on the navigation path ahead, please detour as soon as possible!]
[The spaceship has been restored to manual driving mode.]
Zhuo Feng's expression changed: "Black hole? It's too bad!"
Qin Lu asked in a low voice, "What is a black hole?"
Zhuo Feng explained quickly: "According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, 'after a dying star collapses, it will collapse towards the center, forming a black hole, swallowing all light and any matter in the neighboring universe'. That is It is said that a black hole is actually formed after the collapse of a celestial body that originally existed in the universe. It has a very terrifying attraction and can suck nearby spaceships and even other planets into it. Theoretically, once we are sucked into a black hole , this spaceship will be instantly swallowed and torn to pieces!"
When everyone heard Zhuo Feng's professional explanation, expressions of horror appeared on their faces.
The concept that originally only existed in science fiction and movies was actually encountered by them!
Qin Lu said in a trembling voice, "Look, does that black dot on the navigation path represent a black hole?"
Everyone followed her gaze to the navigation map, and as expected, there was a black circle like a "vortex" not far from the spaceship.
At this moment, the spaceship began to shake again. This time, the shaking was very strong, like an earthquake!
Yue Xingwen's feet were unstable and he fell straight to the front of the podium. Jiang Pingce hurriedly reached out to pull him. As a result, the two of them collided with each other while shaking. Yue Xingwen clearly heard a loud "dong" sound. Suddenly, Jiang Pingce's head seemed to hit the wall, and he was tightly protected by Jiang Pingce in his arms.
Yue Xingwen was in a complicated mood, hurriedly grabbed Jiang Pingce's arm, and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, "It's okay, hold on here." He held Yue Xingwen's hand and guided it to the armrest of the fixed safety chair next to him. Yue Xingwen grabbed the armrest and stabilized his body.
Beside him, other students were also shaken to the side.
Ke Shaobin looked panicked: "Is the black hole attracting our spaceship?!"
On the navigation map, the small dots flashing blue light began to slowly approach the black vortex.
Jiang Pingce had carefully observed and calculated the ratio between the navigation map and the actual distance. Now, the distance between the two dots on the navigation map is only 5 cm. The actual distance is 500 million meters. Among the cosmic distances calculated in light-years, this distance is almost negligible!
That is to say, if they don't act again, within 1 minute, the entire spacecraft will be sucked into the black hole, and they will be completely swallowed and smashed.
Thinking of this, Jiang Pingce quickly calmed down, and Chaoyue Xingwen said, "We only have less than 1 minute, and we have to modify the route immediately."
Because the attraction of the black hole is too strong, although the intelligent system of the spacecraft stopped sailing immediately after detecting the black hole, it was still attracted by the black hole and slowly approached its direction. As a result, the entire spaceship began to shake violently like fallen leaves swept up by the strong wind, and even completely lost its balance!
Before everyone could digest Jiang Pingce's words, the spacecraft suddenly rotated 180 degrees and stood upside down - everyone was instantly thrown out by a force! The cans on the table in the restaurant crashed to the ground and flew everywhere!
Ke Shaobin landed on the ground with his head on the ground and his feet turned upside down, making him feel dizzy.
The 12 people were scattered all over the cabin, and Ke Shaobin's glasses didn't know where to go. He was highly short-sighted and couldn't see the people next to him at all, so he had to grab a classmate's arm indiscriminately.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce grabbed the fixed seat next to the command room after hitting the wall just now. Therefore, this time the spacecraft was upside down. Although their bodies were suspended in the air, they did not have their heads on the ground.
Yue Xingwen made a decisive decision: "Sister Manluo, let the vines out and circle the command room, so that everyone can find a leverage point and stabilize their bodies first!"
If it goes on like this, they can't change the course of the spacecraft at all, they can only wait to die.
After Lin Manluo heard it, she immediately stretched out her right hand and released 5 vines in a row.
The green vines quickly surrounded the command room like a snake, and built a huge vine net in the air.
The classmates scattered all over the place quickly grasped the nearby vines as if they had caught a life-saving straw.
The ship turned upside down again, and this time no one was thrown out because of the vines caught. It's the cans flying around that almost hurt everyone.
Yue Xingwen climbed back to the console and tied himself to the safety chair with vines.
The tacit understanding is that Jiang Pingce also used the vines to stand firmly beside Yue Xingwen. He looked at the buttons on the console and said in a low voice, "None of us can drive the spaceship, but the driving principle of mechanical tools should be similar. This knob is a direction key, which can control the spaceship to move left and right."
Yue Xingwen followed his gaze: "Does this lever control the spaceship to move vertically?"
Jiang Pingce nodded: "That's right. Left and right, up and down can be controlled manually."
If the spacecraft is flying smoothly at the moment, and there is a black hole in front of it that needs to be avoided, it is very easy to control whether it is going left, right, up or down. But the problem is that the spacecraft at this time is not stable at all. Is it true that the 180-degree inverted rotation makes people head down, and it may shift direction at any time!
Maybe, one second you shifted the spacecraft to the left by 15 degrees to avoid the black hole, and the next second, the spacecraft was offset by another 30 degrees to the right under the gravity of the black hole, and the result was that all previous efforts were lost!
Yue Xingwen quickly wanted to understand this, and he said decisively: "All the boys are here to help, and the girls are well protected. Don't let the canned food in the restaurant fly over and affect everyone's operations!"
Hearing Xingwen's words, Zhuo Feng, Xu Yishen, and Zhang Xiaonian all quickly crawled towards this side along the vines.
Ke Shaobin couldn't find his glasses, as if he had become blind. He was in a hurry when suddenly, there were hands beside him who lightly placed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and whispered, "You can tie the glasses with some thin vines, next time they fall off, I won't help you. Find."
Ke Shaobin: "..."
It was Xin Yan's voice. Ke Shaobin saw the person in front of him clearly, and immediately laughed: "Thank you!" He continued to grab Xin Yan's arm, crawled over with the power of the vines, and summoned a small picture by the way.
A group of people gathered in front of the console, and everyone tied and connected each other with vines, so they were not afraid of being thrown out again.
Jiang Pingce asked, "Can Senior Brother Zhuo calculate the gravity of the black hole?"
"The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. As the distance approaches, the gravitational force will increase exponentially. We must first make the distance between the spacecraft and the black hole further away. If we let the spacecraft continue to move forward, it will be too late to change the course." Zhuo Feng frowned. Mei quickly observed the navigation map, and then came to the conclusion: "Drive in the opposite direction immediately and see if you can escape the gravitational field with the strong power of the spacecraft!"
If you continue to move forward, even if you offset a certain angle to avoid the black hole, the spacecraft will continue to approach the black hole while the gravitational field around the black hole still exists.
According to Zhuo Feng, the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. With every little distance, the gravitational force will double, and they will only become more and more difficult to escape like mosquitoes approaching the spider web!
Right now, before the spaceship is completely out of control, go retrograde immediately to break free from the gravitational field!
When the distance is far enough, modify the route and avoid the black hole in a large circle. This is the safest way.
Jiang Pingce pressed the rotation button of the spacecraft without hesitation, and the angle was directly set to 180 degrees. The angle of the ship!"
Ke Shaobin hurriedly opened his laptop and modeled the distance and angle between the spacecraft and the black hole based on the measured distances in Xiaonian. This way, no matter how many degrees the spacecraft was offset, the Xiaotu model could immediately report accurate data.
Yue Xingwen doesn't count data, so he consciously gave way to Zhuo Feng: "Senior brother, you can do it."
Zhuo Feng and Jiang Pingce stood in front of the console, one controlled the left and right angles of the spacecraft, and the other controlled the vertical distance. With the cooperation of the two, a sharp roar suddenly sounded in their ears, and the power of the spacecraft was increased to the limit!
The next moment, everyone just felt that the world was spinning in front of them—
The Thorns spacecraft made half a thrilling displacement similar to a "backflip" with lightning speed!
The bow of the ship was instantly switched to the stern, the entire spacecraft changed direction, and with the strongest power, like an arrow from the string, it escaped the gravitational field in reverse!
This scene made Yue Xingwen think of the fish struggling to escape from the fishing net with all his strength.
Fish into the sea, and then difficult to catch.
As the spacecraft got farther and farther from the black hole, the gravitational field disappeared, and the hull finally recovered.
Yue Xingwen let out a long sigh of relief: "Did you escape?"
Zhuo Feng observed carefully for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, there should be no gravitational field around, and the spacecraft is very stable. But we have to recalculate how to avoid the black hole in a circle."
Ke Shaobin said positively: "Senior brother, I have accurate data here. How do I calculate it?"
Zhuo Feng said: "The gravitational force of a black hole spreads around, forming a huge gravitational field. We take the position of the black hole as the center and the distance between us and it as the radius, and we can avoid it by making a big circle. But it is safe to do so. For the sake of it, the radius of the circle should be longer, so as not to be sucked back halfway."
The black hole on the galaxy navigation map has disappeared, indicating that it is too far away from the Thorns spacecraft for the spacecraft's intelligent system to detect it. However, Zhang Xiaonian just measured the distance based on the navigation map, and Ke Shaobin also built a model, so they can accurately grasp the distance between the spacecraft and the black hole at this time.
The new navigation route only requires the spacecraft to move around the black hole in a semicircle. After you have bypassed the black hole far away, just keep walking straight ahead.
Several science students got together and quickly calculated the results.
The spacecraft began to move slowly to the side according to the newly set semicircular trajectory.
The classmates were all in shock, and the girls recovered their minds and went to clean up the scattered cans.
Liu Zhaoqing complained: "On the first day of departure, I encountered a black hole. The library really doesn't talk about martial arts!"
Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly enough to avoid the tragedy of being sucked into the black hole and torn to pieces!
It seems that this voyage will definitely not be easy, and it will have to be more cautious after that.
