There's a black hole inside me - Chapter 318
c318 To kill Vega
In fact, after solving the mystery of the disappearance of the third group of immigrant trains.
The Ecosphere adjusted its route, changed its direction, and headed straight for a blue dwarf star 18 light years away.
In order to arrive as quickly as possible, the Ecosphere experienced another round of acceleration, reaching an astonishing speed of 0.8C.
At this speed, the time expansion coefficient is 25/9, that is, 25 years have passed in a stationary state, and only 9 years have passed for the spacecraft.
Therefore, the Ecosphere’s timekeeping system will remind you once every 24 hours:
“Dear passengers on the Ecosphere, there are 8 years and 23 days left to reach Alpha Lyrae.”
“Dear passengers on the Ecosphere, there are 8 years and 22 days left to reach Alpha Lyrae.”
“Dear…”
This happens every morning.
I was brainwashed by this countdown for a while.
Some people began to feel curious, who is Alpha Lyrae, is it the star in the starry sky?
After searching in Wandu, relevant information was immediately found.
It turned out to be Vega.
In astronomy, the scientific name is “Vega”, “Vega 1”, which is 25 light years away from the solar system. In the night sky over the blue star, its brightness ranks fifth and it is the second brightest star in the northern hemisphere, second only to Arcturus. It is one of the brightest stars near the sun, just like Arcturus and Sirius.
In addition, it forms the Summer Triangle with “Altair” and “Deniben”.
It is a star that astronomy enthusiasts over the blue star often observe and study.
At this moment, the Ecosphere is heading straight for Vega.
There are more than eight years left.
There was a heated discussion on the Internet.
What is the Ecosphere going to do over there on Vega?
“Is it to replenish some supplies near Vega?” said one netizen.
“Impossible, as a blue dwarf with twice the mass of the sun, the strong radiation pressure and stellar wind released by Vega will disperse the nearby dust clouds, and it is almost impossible to form planets. It is difficult for us to collect supplies.” Another netizen said.
“Then… just passing by and doing some scientific experiments on blue dwarfs?”
“Haha, this is not called passing by, but deliberately taking a detour of 3 light years. If it is just to study blue dwarfs, it is not worth wasting more than a year of travel time. If there is no huge value and benefit, we will not deliberately take this detour.”
“You mean… just like Neptune?”
The netizen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately showed a horrified expression and stammered: “How can this be possible? Twice the mass of the sun, equivalent to 2,000 Jupiters and 37,000 Neptunes, how can it be possible? , how could it possibly eat it? ”
“It took only ten days to eat Neptune, and with that exponential swallowing speed, I estimate that Vega will only take ten days at most.”
“That’s a star!”
The netizen shook his head frantically: “I can’t imagine that it will be destroyed so easily. Its surface temperature is 8,000 degrees, its core temperature is over 20 million degrees, and it has 1.5 billion years of burning life left. All of this will end in ten days? I, I can’t imagine it. ”
“Please enjoy it when the time comes. It will definitely be of great help to improve your imagination. ”
The wisdom of the masses cannot be underestimated.
The purpose of the Ecosphere going to Vega was quickly speculated and analyzed by netizens, and gradually a consensus was reached: Vega, which originally had a lifespan of 1.5 billion years, may only have eight years left to live.
In the near future.
Some textbooks of human civilization, some myths and legends that have been passed down for thousands of years, such as “Cowherd and Weaver Girl”, etc., may lose their reference and comparison. Altair in the starry sky, let alone meeting on the Magpie Bridge, may become a single dog.
The “Summer Triangle” often observed by astronomy enthusiasts has become a “Summer Line” and so on.
It will bring inconvenience to many areas, and even make children born later feel confused. Where did the “Vega” in the “Cowherd and Weaver Girl” go? Where is the triangle in the “Summer Triangle”?
So many beautiful myths and legends, are they made up? Why is there no comparison in reality? The sense of substitution has dropped by more than one level.
And so on.
It is precisely because of these considerations.
Some Chinese teachers and astronomy enthusiasts in the Ecosystem have organized and launched the “Save Vega” campaign, organized a petition with one million signatures, or held banners and took to the streets, hoping to attract attention.
“Please let Vega go!”
“Find another star instead. Vega is an important cultural heritage. Don’t destroy our culture.”
“If there is no Vega, we will be very troubled and the children will be confused.”
“Boss, listen to our appeal, adjust the current plan, and change to another target.”
As the voice of opposition is getting louder and louder.
In the online vote, the proportion of those in favor of changing the target is as high as 70%.
Wei Mingze was quite annoyed!
Faced with pressure, he had to speak out: “The existing plan will not change, so don’t continue to discuss this topic.”
“The current education system has fully promoted the virtual classroom system. Children can see Vega in the virtual classroom without any impact!”
“After the weather system inside the Ecosphere is set to the summer starry sky, the ‘Summer Triangle’ can be seen every day without any impact.”
“Culture is ultimately just a kind of information, and it does not necessarily need an actual carrier. As long as we change our minds and are not bound by the framework of reality, we can create more excellent culture… This matter ends here! Don’t be rigid and stubborn. You will soon see the true value of Vega, which is much higher than its value as a cultural carrier.”
After the publicity and popularization of a group of scientists.
The popularity of “Saving Vega” finally died down slowly.
The delicate Chinese teachers who took to the streets gradually focused their attention on the establishment of the “Vega Museum” to allow Vega to exist in another form.
“Dad, why don’t we let Vega go?”
That day, Wei Nuan, the curator of the Vega Museum, came to Wei Ming with red eyes, as if she had just cried, and said:
“Vega is so pitiful. All the members of the museum cried today. Vega has a soul, and we have given her a soul, but we didn’t expect that we would erect a monument and build a museum for her before she died. This is really pitiful.”
“Woo~”
As she spoke, her shoulders shook, and she couldn’t help crying again.
Wei Ming’s head was full of black lines.
Needless to say, it must be that those women ate too much, had nothing to do, and were full of emotions, even their daughter Wei Nuan was affected.
Vega is just an ordinary big fireball. Why are you moved by those stories in your mind? Are you worried that it will affect the gifts you receive on the Chinese Valentine’s Day?
It’s really speechless.
However, Wei Ming did not want to complain to his little daughter, so he comforted her and finally said, “Since the museum has been built, the tears have been shed, but Vega is still there, then the museum was built in vain, the tears were shed in vain, and everything was in vain? The hero has died, and suddenly he was brought back to life in the last few minutes. Isn’t this nonsense?”
“Uh, it seems so.”
Wei Nuan nodded confusedly, thinking it made sense.
The third update, a little late
