Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 939 Event Horizon Negative Energy Extraction Device

"Adley, how much do you remember about your predecessor civilization?" Yue Yuan thought for a moment and asked Adley on the holographic screen.

What he said would be converted through the equipment on the Lyra into information that Adeli could recognize.

At this moment, Adley is constantly wandering around the Covenant fleet, just like a bird enjoying the freedom of flying in the sky. It seems that he is really unable to hold it back.

After hearing Yue Yuan's question, he thought for a moment: "I remember some things, but they are mainly information related to the destruction of the Adeli civilization. I don't know the rest. I don't even know the murderer who killed the Adeli civilization..."

"Ah, who are they? Who are they? What is the name of that hateful and evil civilization? Why can't I remember? I am Adley, and I must kill them all to avenge myself!"

"Ah! Why are you taking revenge for me? I'm fine, right? Strange, no...it must be that damn civilization that did it..."

Well, Adley is going crazy again.

Yue Yuan shook his head and sighed. He originally wanted to find out something about the Perseus Arm, but he didn't expect that this question would touch Adley's nerve. There was no other way, at this time he could only let the driver who was in the third-person driving state to comfort Adley.

Humans learned from the Daya civilization that the civilization that destroyed the solar system was called the Tianxing civilization, and they also learned about the characteristics of the Tianxing civilization.

However, the Star Alliance led by humans has been traveling around the Perseus Arm for hundreds of years, but has made no progress in searching for celestial civilization.

Everyone can understand this. After all, the cosmic society is different from the society of the same race. It is a social background in which most civilizations are hiding. If you want to find a hiding civilization, apart from being lucky enough to encounter it by chance, there is only one way left, and that is to force the hidden civilization out by some means.

As for how to force out a hidden civilization, there are only two possibilities: one is that something big happens in the entire galaxy, and the other is that the remains of a certain civilization are discovered and known to everyone.

The first is like when the Silver Heart Alliance launched the siege on the Reapers. The second is when things are done by people, such as broadcasting everywhere that there are some kind of ruins somewhere.

However, the risk of broadcasting everywhere is too great, and even if there is a good excuse, humans dare not do it at all.

Nothing works, all I can do is rely on luck.

Or they could conduct a galaxy-wide search when they were able to travel far. But to do this, humans would have to become one of the strongest forces in the galaxy, and even better, they would have to defeat the Reapers.

"Well, this is the only way!" Yue Yuan took a last look at Adley who was going crazy, turned around and left the Lyra command center.

While walking, he also pulled up the work reports of various departments and started reading them.

In fact, humans no longer need special offices for work, especially Yue Yuan. Wherever he is, that is the captain's room.

But in most cases, he still likes to come to the command center, and so do many people who come to the command center on duty.

In fact, during the replenishment period before separating from the Daya civilization, human civilization took advantage of the replenishment period to install a set of the latest generation of projection equipment on all warships and spacecraft.

It is a human behavior projection technology and an application of holographic projection technology.

Relying on this technology, human staff from all departments can appear in the command center in the form of projection, and their appearance is no different from real people.

Very convenient. But while humans were busy comforting Adley, they were also conducting research on extracting negative energy from black holes.

About one light year away from the Covenant fleet is the black hole that humans have previously detected.

According to observations, this is a Kerr black hole, which has rotation. Unlike a Schwarzschild black hole, a Kerr black hole has not only mass but also angular momentum, which means that it will generate a unique gravitational field when it rotates.

For today's human civilization, this kind of black hole with a unique gravitational field is needed to assist in experimental research, because what human civilization needs to do this time is to extract negative energy from the space field formed by massive celestial bodies such as black holes, and then compress the negative energy into negative matter.

At present, humans have created a device that extracts negative energy from the negative energy field. This is a very complex creation. Its general principle is to manipulate the force field to create an energy transmission channel similar to a wormhole. One end of the channel is opened on the black hole event horizon, and the other end is assumed to be on the negative energy compressor.

As long as the experiment is successful, humans will have mastered the method of obtaining negative matter on a large scale. This is much better than consuming a huge amount of energy to produce negative energy in their own factories.

After all, the difference between the two is like the difference between manufacturing fuel and pumping it straight from a gas station.

However, the experiment did not go smoothly.

After the extraction device, which was as huge as a planetary battleship, started working, humans did not detect any negative energy reaction.

Every scientist and engineer looked at the equipment with anticipation, watching it slowly enter the gravitational field of the black hole, watching it slowly orbit in the gravitational field of the black hole, watching its working indicator light up...

But no negative energy reaction was seen.

"The force field generator of the extraction equipment is responding. We have detected the appearance of some virtual particles, which should be transferred from the black hole event horizon. This shows that our equipment is successful in principle!" On a research ship, an engineering scientist looked at the data and said, "Maybe we just adjusted the parameters wrong and failed to extract negative energy."

Another scientist who participated in the research project with him nodded and said, "I also think it is a parameter problem. Look at this set of feedback data. Its spatial parameters seem to conflict with the black hole's gravitational field, causing problems with the spatial force field nodes at the extraction end..."

Hearing this, many experts in the force field frowned. Obviously, they also saw the problem, but finding the problem is just finding the problem. The key is how to change it.

"Maybe it has something to do with the type of black hole. Different types of black holes require different parameters. The original setting parameters of our negative energy extraction equipment may not be suitable for Kerr black holes."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's minds were opened up and many engineers also joined the discussion.

"This is a Kerr black hole. The shape of its event horizon is different from that of a non-rotating black hole. Because rotation will cause the distortion of space-time, so if we want to know how to adjust the parameters, we must first obtain the rotational space-time parameters of this black hole. It should be a variable, not a quantitative value that we set when we made the negative energy extraction device before!"

"That makes sense. Look," a researcher pointed to a region of the Kerr black hole in the holographic image. "This is the halo region of the Kerr black hole. The halo is a gravitational effect caused by rotation, which allows light to rotate on a specific orbit near the black hole."

"It is precisely because of this rotation that the Kerr black hole causes the distortion of the surrounding space-time, forming a dragging effect. When an object approaches a black hole, it will be affected by stronger gravity and rotation. Now it seems that not only objects, but also our preset force fields will be affected by this space-time drag."

"I think we can measure this variable of space-time distortion by dropping a detector into a black hole."

"This is an idea, it's worth a try."

"Okay, there are existing detectors on the research ship No. 3812. They were used when we were studying natural wormholes. Let's get a batch of them over right away and try them out."
