Hiss, hiss, hiss...
Following which, the side of the repair capsule facing Chen Yu slowly rose, revealing the protective suit shrouded in white mist inside the capsule.
[The air pressure is normal. You may enter the capsule.]
After receiving instructions, Chen Yu entered the capsule and put on the purple protective suit.
The next moment, the mechanical arm flew up and down, installing pieces of white armor on his body one after another.
Hiss, hiss...
The hatch opened once more, and Chen Yu stepped out and looked at the camera.
"After learning of the black hole's existence, I tried searching for it using the Interstellar Portal's positioning mode, but I failed.
There is no information on this black hole's location and orbit in the database. Moreover, I don't know its five-dimensional coordinates, so it is very difficult to find it.
"However, over the past week, I have figured out a way."
Walking up to the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu called up the virtual projection of Earth and shrank it down to the size of the solar system.
"That is, go to a planet like Sedna that is affected by a black hole, feel the black hole's gravitational force, and determine its location."
After saying so, Chen Yu swiped the projection and found a pink asteroid — Sedna.
"It's here."
"Buzz!"
Five seconds later, the space inside the metal arch fluctuated for a moment, and a pink planet appeared before the eyes of the seven million viewers.
[I'm about to embark on the road of death again.]
[I wonder if I should rejoice that I can see a black hole with my own eyes in this lifetime...]
[What exactly is a black hole?]
[I only care about that asteroid that's about to crash into me.]
[Can a nuclear bomb miss?]
[Let's wait for the UP to save the world...]
"Hu..."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu calmed his emotions and stepped out of the Interstellar Portal. He then entered space hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Instantly, the noise in his ears disappeared.
He could only hear his own heartbeat.
"This is the asteroid Sedna.
Serial number: 2003
VB12。
It is currently the farthest asteroid discovered by humans, and it is currently the farthest asteroid discovered by humans.
Of course, after two decades, humans will also discover an even further asteroid called 'Gisela.' It is also the asteroid that will be dragged into the solar system by the black hole in 25 years' time.
"However, I feel that instead of calling it Gisela, we should call it Thanatos.
After all, human civilization is likely to suffer a heavy blow from it.
"Sedna is one of the reddest celestial bodies in the solar system. Its surface is composed of water, methane, nitrogen, and torin.
Our target this time isn't it, so a simple introduction will do. "
After saying so, Chen Yu ignored the pink world beneath his feet and turned to look at the deep space, searching for traces of the black hole.
"In my helmet, there are many values displayed. Some of them are the changes in the gravitational force around me.
The largest source of gravity is undoubtedly the asteroid Sedna below. The second largest source of gravity is the sun, and the third largest source of gravity … "
Under the gazes of the global government, the astronomical community, and the seven million viewers, Chen Yu suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction!
"There!"
The camera turned and aimed at the dark and deep space.
There was nothing but darkness.
"That's the outer edge of the solar system. Jupiter and Saturn aren't in that direction, nor are they on the ecliptic plane …"
"Looks like we found it very easily."
"Black hole."
Awesome …
Since the black hole could not be seen, they could only search for it using gravitational force.
The accretion disk of a black hole was glowing!
Clearly, this black hole did not have an accretion disk.
(Dog Head)
Lying on the bed, his hair stood on end.
Why did he have to look at a black hole?
[Hurry up and deal with that asteroid!]
[The black hole's existence must be confirmed first. Otherwise, everything will just be empty words from the host.]
[I'm already sure …]
Whoosh —
Activating the plasma engine, Chen Yu flew through the Interstellar Portal and returned to the island-building ship's lobby.
"Now that we have determined the black hole's location, we just need to move in that direction …"
While speaking, Chen Yu finished adjusting the angle and distance of the spatial distortion and clicked on the Interstellar Portal.
"Buzz!"
When the spatial fluctuation subsided, the pink planet inside the Interstellar Portal transformed into pure black space.
Walking out of the camera, Chen Yu picked up a large rock he had prepared beforehand and gently placed it into the Interstellar Portal. "I don't need to explain the danger of a black hole. For safety's sake, I can only try my best to find a suitable critical point.
"These rocks are my method of testing the critical point.
Through the speed at which the black hole is dragging the rocks, I can determine the distance between me and the black hole.
I admit that this method is absurd and ridiculous, but it is indeed effective. "
Shrugging in a rare display of self-deprecation, Chen Yu placed the rock between the two spaces and released his grip.
Afterward, the loose rock was sucked into space and spun into the darkness ahead.
"Sure enough, the black hole is up ahead."
Chen Yu's voice suddenly turned serious. Removing his hand shield, he swiped his finger across his watch's screen and said, "Now, I need the help of the Aerospace Research Institution. You must be watching the livestream as well.
During the previous interactive livestreams, I gave you the right to privately chat with me. Now, please calculate the distance between me and the black hole based on the rock's flying speed.
The rock's mass is roughly 10 kilograms. "
After saying so, Chen Yu received a private message from the Aerospace Research Institution.
"We already know the black hole's mass. The rock's mass is not important. Please wait a moment. We are currently calculating."
Seeing this private message, Chen Yu nodded and said, "Okay."
…
Beijing, Aerospace Research Institution:
"Quick!
Calculate quickly! "
The old director slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "The black hole's mass is 125 times that of Earth! We can't make any mistakes with multiple calculations!"
The researchers in the lobby immediately started busily and nervously calculating.
"The black hole's mass is 125 times that of Earth, and the rock's diameter is about 35 centimeters. According to the range of reduction, the initial fall speed is about 9 meters per second. The gravitational formula is F = GMr2, and the gravitational constant is 6.67 × 1 … This results in …"
"..."
"..."
The intensive tapping of the keyboard and the sound of the pen tip recording merged into one. Half a minute later, many teams obtained similar data at the same time.
"1.2 million kilometers."
"Director, 1.1 million kilometers."
"Here's 1.25 million kilometers."
"1.2 million kilometers."
"0.4 light-years … W-Wait, let's recalculate."
Before the old director could reprimand the last team, he immediately sent out the calculation results.
…
"1.2 million kilometers, huh?"
After receiving the Aerospace Research Institution's private reply, Chen Yu put on his glove and moved the portal's connection point forward by one million kilometers. He then clicked to connect.
"The Aerospace Research Institution's result is 1.2 million kilometers. To be on the safe side, we'll move the portal's location forward by one million kilometers."
Five seconds later, the portal was successfully connected.
The interior of the portal was still dark and deep.
Perhaps because they knew that they were only 200,000 kilometers away from the black hole, everyone in the livestream rooms felt a chill in their hearts.
Black hole.
One of the most extreme celestial bodies in the universe.
Humans were finally going to "touch" it up close …
