Chapter 526: Going to Planet Nine

In space, in an orbit 460 kilometers away from the earth, the "Ask Sky" spacecraft shines like a small sun in that moment.

This is a physical phenomenon caused by the quantum of light radiating outwards during high-energy transitions.

The "Wentian" spacecraft disappeared into orbit at this moment.

At the same time, outside the Kuiper belt, the dark deep space was silent. Suddenly, a bright light source point broke out in this space, but it was also fleeting, and a spacecraft appeared.

It was the "Wentian" spacecraft!

"On the periphery of the Kuiper Belt, dear passengers, we are here." On the bridge, Li Chuan, who was holding the central console with both hands, staring at the projection panel and smiling. The data showed that the spacecraft's spatial coordinates at this time had exceeded 62 astronomical units from the earth. The focus of this exploration is the orbit of the "Planet Nine" calculated by astronomers on the periphery of the Kuiper Belt. Whether the "Planet Nine" exists in the solar system? I believe that the truth will be drawn soon.

"What? Arrived?" A white engineer among the team members said in a daze: "I only fastened my seat belt last second, and... Arrived? The Kuiper belt periphery? Now?"

"Open the porthole!" Li Chuan said with a smile. The central ai received the command and executed it. The Zhongjing alloy shield outside the bridge porthole was slowly included. If the porthole was not protected during the jump, everyone's eyes would probably be blinded by photons.

The dark universe came into everyone's eyes, and everyone felt incredible.

"We...shewed... crossed...62 astronomical units?" The engineer said just now. He is a planetary geologist and a new member. His geological research is very special. He studies extraterrestrial bodies, so he has not yet reacted.

At this time, Chu Siyuan looked at his incomprehensible side and smiled: "High-energy transition makes the spacecraft, including us, in the field-based superposition state. At this time, the lifespan of the particle is infinite. The energy-time relationship can only explain the relationship between the energy uncertainty of the particle in a certain state and the time it can maintain in that state. The concept of time itself is a measure of the speed of a process evolution. The transition time has no meaning to unit atoms, so the transition time loses its inherent meaning. You can also think that the collapse of the wave function is completed instantly."

The engineer was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "Doesn't that mean the vast universe scale, we can leap forwarding at any time without distance? No matter how many light years or millions of light years? Ignoring time... that's the moment passes!"

"It can be said in theory that objective factors cannot do it, because energy, mass and spatial scale have become its shackles." Chu Siyuan replied.

"ah?"

Chu Siyuan patiently explained: "It is not that you can do it at the distance that you want to jump. The larger the transition scale, the higher the energy level, and the higher the energy consumed, so you have to carry more energy. This means that the overall transition mass will be larger, and a higher energy level is required, and more energy is consumed. After a certain value, you will fall into a dead cycle. Although we are using nuclear energy, even if antimatter energy may appear in the future, antimatter also has mass, and this variable cannot be offset. It's just that this energy can make the upper limit of falling into the dead cycle higher than nuclear energy, so..."

"So why do you have to be in one step? The span of the two legs cannot pass ten meters in one step. Can you reach ten meters by walking a few more steps? Can a living person be suffocated to death by birds?" Li Chuan said helplessly, and his words were rough and he became the terminator of the topic. Chu Siyuan on the side was speechless.

However, in this way Li Chuan said, the first batch of pioneers need to explore energy transfer and supply stations along the way. Regardless of whether these transfer and supply stations are built on asteroids, planets, or other universes, as long as a supply station of specific distances is established, a spacecraft ensures that the last jump can reach the nearby supply station, complete the energy replenishment and conduct the next jump, so it is repeated.

The solution is very stupid, but overall it is still faster than the speed of light.

Interestingly, in this way, those supply sites distributed at the cosmic scale seem to be like electron orbits in atoms, while spacecraft are like electrons, which can only be displaced and appear in specific electron orbits, which is really highly similar.

"Report the flight status and the surrounding space status!" The topic terminator Li Chuan changed his eyes and supported the central console with both hands. After receiving the instructions, the spacecraft's Ai began to list and report the flight status and this space. Chu Siyuan, who was speechless by him, also walked slowly.

As a series of live data are displayed, the flight status shows that everything is good, and the data in the surrounding outer space is also displayed. The Kuiper Belt is called the home of comets, and it can also be said to be the asteroid belt at the edge of the solar system. In fact, there are more asteroid belts here than the asteroid belts between Mars and Jupiter.

It seems that in people's common sense, a large number of asteroids should be densely distributed in asteroid belts, often colliding with each other, which are all deceiving movies. In fact, this is not the case. The universe is too large. The orbit of the Kuiper Belt is much larger than the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Even if it is difficult to see two asteroid collisions here, let alone the Kuiper Belt.

"Weak spatial polarization was detected, accompanied by a weak harmonic signal!"

At this moment, Ai from the central console made a broadcast sound. Chu Siyuan and Li Chuan were instantly refreshed, and immediately thought of gravitational waves, and then the Zhong element crystal matter.

"Calculate the polarization source!" Li Chuan said immediately.

“In processing…”

“Mathematical model is being built!”

“Matching…”

"Finish!"

Li Chuan was waiting anxiously, and the quantum computer came up with the results after a while.

A space model was displayed in the projection panel on the central console. Everyone was stunned when they saw it. Chu Siyuan said in a daze: "It matches the space coordinates of the gravitational anomaly of 'Planet Nine'. My God, is there a huge planet composed entirely of Zhong crystals? Will it be... a full liquid giant planet?"

Up to now, humans have never detected a full liquid celestial body in the universe. Looking at the Pacific Ocean of the Earth, it is a bit like a planet made of liquid water, but this is just a surface phenomenon. The star core must be solid. Because gravitational collapse, the larger the mass of the celestial body, the greater the gravity, and the greater the density of the star core.

But Zhong crystal is completely different. It cannot break free from the constraints of gravity, but at the same time its physical state is not bound by gravity, but energy.

The temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation is 3 degrees Kelvin, which is a bit higher than absolute zero.

The critical point of the change of physical state of Zhong crystal is 126.15 degrees Kelvin, that is, -147 degrees Celsius, so the normal state of Zhong crystal in the universe is liquid. The outer edge of the Kuiper belt is too far from the sun. The temperature in outer space here is generally at an environment of minus 200 degrees Celsius. Combined with the physical characteristics of Zhong crystal, if a planet is completely composed of Zhong crystal, then it must be a pure liquid planet.

Are you here right?

Even Li Chuan couldn't stop being excited. There might be a planet constructed by Zhong crystal, which is simply an unimaginable huge treasure, and perhaps it will be accompanied by matter?

"Close detection!" Li Chuan issued a command, and the closed working-free nuclear-powered engine was turned on again, pushing the huge "Wentian" spacecraft towards the source of gravity. Fortunately, the coordinates of this jump were on the edge of the space area where the gravity abnormality of the Kuiper Belt were, so the distance was not too far, and the spacecraft was fast enough.

About 67 minutes later, the spacecraft was captured by the gravity of the "Planet Nine", which has not yet been proved to exist. Its gravity is much greater than that of the Earth, with an escape speed of 26.71 kilometers per second and a surface gravity of 11.22m/s^ (1.142g). However, the current power of the "Wentian" spacecraft has no problem. In theory, full power propulsion can reach 11% of the speed of light, and the sun's escape speed of 617 kilometers per second can be achieved, of course, the premise is that there is enough fuel and time.

The spacecraft was actively captured by the gravity of Planet Nine and then flew around at a speed of 5.72 km/s.

At this time, Li Chuan was standing in the central console and hugging his arms, staring patiently at the data analysis of the display panel. There was a lot of information, but a quantum computer also processed very quickly and would not wait too long.

"My God... you'd better come and take a look!!!" At this moment, the pilot of the spacecraft looked ahead in a daze. What he saw with his naked eyes was the so-called "Planet Nine". Eva Ye Lianna and others couldn't help but look into the space through the porthole. For a moment, their mouths couldn't help but open slightly, and subconsciously raised their hand to cover them. The light blue eyes became brighter and brighter, and there was an incredible shock in their pupils.
