Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 251 The Predicament of the First Step
Having said that, of course, fleet operations in the interstellar era are not brainless fools who just jump out of the way.After the Second Republic became aware of this "huge beast", it was scholars in the scientific research field who initiated the proposal first.

"A biological structure that can resist 2000 million degrees Celsius inside a star, can withstand a pressure of more than 10^17 Pa, and can even drive an internal power that exceeds a gigaton-ton body for activities... This is a unique sample!"

In an internal virtual meeting, facing the spiritual projections of many scholars, a scholar shouted excitedly.

What an incredible creature, everything about it is far beyond the imagination and understanding of interstellar humans, like a mystery, a magical creature from another world.

According to human cognition, it is impossible to have such a huge life, because once such a huge life exists, its huge mass will form a huge gravitational force, and then spontaneously collapse inward, forming a star, or even collapse into a black hole.

But this life broke all the rules.

Undoubtedly massive, and possessing a degree of self-awareness, possibly even communicating with humans, such a creature has never been seen by interstellar humans, not once.

In this universe built by perfect logic, there are no strange powers and gods, and there are no Zerg that can run rampant in space. Psionic energy and subspace are the only things that interstellar humans are known to break through conventional physical rules, but Now, such a thing but another one?
And soon, the pressure of the scholars was on all the bureaucrats.

In the Second Republic, where science ruled the country, science was considered paramount.

Past historical experience has made people extremely wary of those who lack sufficient knowledge to assume important positions. "Stupid and short-sighted people are not worthy of power."

In the Second Republic, every bureaucrat, no matter how big or small, has a history of researchers and scholars, and even those generals, most of them are cutting-edge scholars who are proficient in experimental physics, because only in this way can we truly understand The performance of the weapon in your own hands.

It is conceivable that in such a country, scholars have such a lofty status.

Facing the severe criticism and aggressive accusations at the academic conference, the Consul of the Second Republic bowed his head, sweating, and kept nodding his head in agreement. This also directly erased the fleet commander's proposal to send the fleet.A specimen so cherished must not be destroyed by violence.

According to the opinions at the academic meeting, the Second Republic should try its best to capture this huge snake, and only after it is really impossible to capture can it consider killing it violently.

The most core plan has been formulated by the academic conference, and the bureaucrats of the Second Republic refine it. Finally, the order is communicated to the generals, and the plan they receive becomes four steps.

"First dispatch unmanned spaceships for reconnaissance and make detailed data judgments; then dispatch a small group of unmanned fleets for testing to test the specific attack methods and behaviors of the targets; finally, after the data is perfected, according to the corresponding data report settings including gravity traps/specification Drugs/drone fleet capture ... including many means. Violence will not be allowed until all means fail."

A detailed plan of tens of millions of words has been issued, and the generals of the Second Republic have to act according to the order.

……

At 20149 hours in 1764 of the galactic calendar, 13 hours after the sighting of the giant beast was discovered.

In the vicinity of the solar system, an invisible space-time fluctuation occurred, and immediately, the first unmanned reconnaissance spaceship emerged from the void.

This shuttle-like spaceship was advancing in the void at sub-light speed, and according to the monitoring report, the target was nearby.

"Reconnaissance...information...photons...gravity..."

After more than ten minutes, the spaceship flying at sub-light speed received the location information of the target, and there was a reaction body 20 billion kilometers away.

"found it……"

However, during the detection, the speed of the target is very fast, and it is advancing at a sublight speed of about 30 kilometers per second.It is close to 99.99...% of the upper limit of the speed of light, and it is only a hair's breadth away from that speed of light.

In this universe, when approaching the speed of light, everything will undergo a huge change, and the flow of time will slow down and even stand still.And the closer it gets to the speed of light, the more obvious the slight difference will be. At this speed, it is difficult for anything to catch up with it. This does not only refer to the spaceship, but also means "everything".

Whether it's gravity, photons, heat...

Everything cannot exceed the speed of light, and the closer to the speed of light, it means that even the simplest detection will be very difficult, even if gravitational capture is difficult to capture this kind of thing that is advancing at the speed of light.

"It's a line away, it's almost there."

In actual space combat, in sub-light speed combat, even if there is only the slightest difference, you can often hit the opponent in all directions, because in your eyes, the opponent slows down as if he has stopped moving.

For the giant snake that is approaching the speed of light at this moment, time has already slowed down on it, and a thousand years is only an instant, and the unmanned reconnaissance spaceship trying to catch up to itself seems to be completely still.

No, not even standing still, but flying backwards.

The first dilemma encountered by unmanned reconnaissance is not the expected strong threat, but the excessive speed.

For the first detection, apart from clarifying the opponent's speed, nothing else is known.

"...Strong space-time effect, only the speed of the opponent can be measured, and the mass and volume of the opponent cannot be determined..."

In the report of the unmanned spacecraft, it is written like this.

……

"About 299792457m/s per second? How is it possible!"

For this figure, almost all academic conferences were in disbelief, and they suspected that the unmanned spacecraft had made a mistake.

In this universe, the more you want to get the speed closer to the speed of light, the more difficult it is. Even with the ability of interstellar humans, the sub-light speed limit that a standard spaceship can reach is only about 99.999%, and this is almost infinitely close to the speed of light. What does the speed of light mean?
A thing whose mass is conservatively estimated to exceed [-] and [-].How much energy does this require?

It's ridiculous, even if you add up all the energy that the entire galaxy can release, it's still far behind. Could it be that the kinetic energy produced by this huge beast when it moves is comparable to that of the entire galaxy?
Because in the images recorded by those interstellar passengers, the speed of the giant snake was not very fast when it flew away, so it is not difficult to capture a behemoth of this level in an academic conference.

however……

"Measure again!"

The president of the academy with a gloomy face ordered.

……

The second time... the third time... the fourth time...

Every time, there are more unmanned spacecraft going to measure than the last time, but the measurement results are all without exception. Almost no unmanned spacecraft can catch up with the target. At most, the speed measurement is getting more and more accurate.

299792457.61546 per second...m/s per second, about 2.768*10^31 kilograms (increasing all the time. The exact mass cannot be measured)...

The more measurements are made, the more strange phenomena are found on this huge monster. On this monster, the conservation of mass seems to have failed, and its body is growing all the time.

In addition to spending 1000+ galactic hours for no reason, scholars have no idea about the giant snake flying in space until now, except that they are constantly discovering more mysteries.

The "behemoth capture plan" that excited scholars fell into trouble at the very beginning...

The 7th Ring World Society, a branch of the former Human Supreme Science Association.

After the disbandment of the Supreme Science Association, many small branches of the Science Association had to develop independently, and most of them perished, but one of them continued, and expanded wildly after the establishment of the ring world, and finally became the entire second branch. One of the largest forces in the Republic.

But now, the president of the 7th Ring World Society, this always serious scholar, has red eyes at this moment, and he is covering his head, constantly thinking.

This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon.

As a cutting-edge scholar, he has undergone far more genetic adjustments than ordinary people. It was impossible for this physiological phenomenon to occur, but now it happened. It can only prove that his own unstable spiritual energy interfered with his body.

Such a level of psychic instability cannot be resolved even by medicine, and one can imagine the anxiety in his heart.

The giant beast capture plan was initiated by him and signed by him, but now he can't even proceed with the first step.

But at the same time, there was another thing urging him, that is, the direction of the big snake seemed to be heading towards a nearby human-inhabited galaxy.For the safety of the entire galaxy, the bureaucrats in that human galaxy have urged countless times, hoping to eliminate the threat as soon as possible, and there is really no delay.

After a long time, he issued a new order.

"agree……"

Finally, scholars agreed to the military's proposal to skip the first step and directly use "small-scale unmanned fleets" for threat testing.
