The "sizzling" noise in the headphones became louder and louder, and I saw that several observation equipment were damaged by strong radiation. Zhang Yuan quickly shouted: "Temporarily turn off these equipment... Only astronomical observation equipment is retained to record all astronomical data! By the way, how much has the temperature on the surface of the spacecraft increased?"

The vague sense of crisis rose to the extreme, and his breathing became heavier.

The rotation axis of the η star at the base of the ship is aligned with the direction of the earth. At the moment when the supernova explodes, the gamma ray explosion in the universe will eject from the rotation axis.

According to estimates, the energy of the gamma ray burst is equivalent to the sum of the energy released by the sun during its entire 10 billion-year life cycle, or even more!

After voyage of 2700, the spacecraft has been able to escape from the attack range in theory... So this supernova explosion will not have much impact on the spacecraft. At most, it is equivalent to exposing the sun with a stronger sunlight for a while.

But...what if?

What if the calculation is wrong?

What if this gamma ray explosion deviates by a little bit and just aims at the spaceship?

If the spacecraft is affected, 500,000 people will be destroyed!

"Damn it, it exploded at this time!" Zhang Yuan cursed fiercely in his heart, and rushed to operate the instruments to detect the total condition of the spacecraft.

The light in front of him became stronger and stronger. Zhang Yuan held his breath. This was the first time he witnessed the explosion of a supernova with his naked eyes.

Through the thick glass, the light shone on the floor, and the floor quickly became extremely hot.

Colleagues around were watching various observation data jumping on the computer and were constantly reporting on the situation.

"The temperature on the surface of the spacecraft is rising!"

"The radiation in the observatory has exceeded the standard significantly... The energy of a single photon is about 400,000 times that of the sun's light..."

"The temperature of the sunrise surface of the spacecraft rose to 400…500…600 degrees Celsius…and it is still within a bearable range."

After about twenty minutes of testing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "The temperature will not rise again in the short term. 600-700 degrees Celsius is the limit. I don't know if it will explode again."

"If it were just like this... there wouldn't be much of a problem."

Zhang Yuan patted his chest, but fortunately he had a false alarm.

Since the supernova explosion will not cause too much damage to the spacecraft, he is considering whether to notify the sober population on the spacecraft to come to the observatory to witness the supernova event.

However, with the principle that it is better to have less than more things, I quickly gave up this idea.

Everyone recovered from the panic at the beginning, and then they were very excited to record various data. Maybe scientists who wake up in the future can discover new physical phenomena in various high-energy rays?

This kind of supernova explosion with a mass of one hundred times the sun is a rare low-probability event that is rare in ten thousand years. It can only last for a few hours, and at most one week. Because the mass is too large and the explosion is too violent, a black hole may not even be formed afterwards, because almost all matter is squirted out violently at that moment.

Humans know little about the explosion of this massive astral body. It is very beneficial to future research to record the entire explosion process in a complete way.

Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered something and sighed: "The hypothesis is accurate... I don't know what the targeted Earth civilization is like, and whether it will be devastatingly hit by a supernova."

Several colleagues talked, "I think it may have some impact, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones."

"After all, Earth civilization is such an old interstellar civilization. Even if technology stagnates, it will be no longer the same as before. If it were the sun explosion, it might not be able to resist at close range, but there should be no problem in fighting supernova 7,000 light years away..."

“Prevention measures for this disaster have been taken.”

"By the way, if they had neutrino observation devices, they would have discovered the disaster several hours in advance and then arranged emergency shelter."

Zhang Yuan nodded, "I hope they have good luck. All we can do now is to manage ourselves."

The neutrinos that burst out in supernova may indeed run faster than gamma rays.

This is because photons may interact with various particles in the universe during long journeys. The speed of photons cannot reach the true absolute speed of light.

The speed of some neutrinos is close to the speed of light and hardly interacts with any substance.

Therefore, in the pursuit battle that lasted for more than 7,000 years, the fastest neutrinos can often win for a few hours, bringing the first alarm to mankind.

During this passionate discussion, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a slight vibration.

He quickly pressed his hand on the ground and felt carefully the subtlety of this vibration appeared and felt like it was transmitted through the mechanical means, which seemed to have a buzzing feeling.

His heart skipped a beat!

The Earth Age is an extremely stable spacecraft, especially the nuclear fusion engine is completely shut down and it is almost impossible to experience such vibrations when it is sailing by inertia!

Something might happen!

Zhang Yuan took a breath: "You guys continue recording here, I'll go back and take a look!"

There is no way to move at high speed in a vacuum environment. In order to speed up, Zhang Yuan even activated the precious jet device in the space suit.

He flew quickly into the rail train, and Lin Xuanxuan's panic screams were already heard from her headphones: "...Not good!"

"...A room in Area M is broken, and the helium filled inside is being lost to the outside! Zhang Yuan, come quickly!"

Zhang Yuan was shocked and the spacecraft wall was actually destroyed!

How is the temperature of just six hundred degrees... possible?!

Generally speaking, when a living area is idle, in order to prevent oxygen from oxidizing the equipment inside, helium will be used instead of the air inside. Area m happens to be an idle area. Is it because of daily maintenance negligence?

It's impossible.

He frowned deeply, "I understand. You guys find a place to hide first, don't join in the fun! By the way, close all the air pressure gates near the hospital!"

The next second, another soldier company boarded a dedicated line: "Captain Zhang, an outer room in Area M suddenly broke, and we are trying to close the nearest air pressure door!"

"Do you know the specific reason?"

“We are investigating surveillance…”

Another series of mixed sounds came into the headphones.

Zhang Yuan was upset by all kinds of noisy noises. Zhang Yuan shouted at the headphones: "Everyone is wearing space suits and stay away from Area M!"

"Open the air pump, extract the air from the surrounding area, and close all the surrounding air pressure gates!"

"Don't feel sorry for the leaked air! Don't go over and see it. If you are sucked out, you will be dead!"

He had no idea what was going on, but knew that something seemed to be hit by the living area and then made a gap.

But……

How is that possible?

At this moment, Zhang Yuan thought a lot in his mind.

Could it be that what hit the spacecraft is moving close to the speed of light? That is the only way to arrive almost at the same time as the supernova explosion.

But if it is a matter that moves close to the speed of light, it can turn the spacecraft into real interstellar garbage with just one shot, instead of just breaking a small gap!
