Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

While deploying a large number of scientific research forces to launch a charge on this topic, Han Yang and the human scientific community have not relaxed their exploration of other routes.

Scientific research has never been about aiming at one route and then going all the way to the end. Because no one knows which path is right until the final result comes out.

The only feasible way is to advance multiple routes simultaneously. Whichever route shows potential, some resources will be allocated to that route appropriately, but unless the situation is clear, it is impossible to abandon the other routes.

In scientific research, mistakes are valuable. Mistakes will at least prove that a certain route is unfeasible. Moreover, determining that a certain route is wrong is itself a kind of scientific accumulation.

They are also part of the foundation of the final outcome.

At this moment, after countless scientific researchers working day and night, the first experimental type of detector device has finally determined the relevant parameters and model, and determined the manufacturing method.

After submitting the relevant plans, under the control of Han Yang, tens of millions of engineers immediately began to try to build the neutron star with the help of the equipment and resources they brought in advance.

Finally, the first batch of 100 detectors, named "Neutron Type ", were built and tests began immediately.

They followed the trajectory of acute-angle impact and were launched towards the neutron star.

Unfortunately, this batch of detectors failed to successfully reach the surface of the neutron star. When it was still 10 kilometers away from the "atmosphere" of the neutron star - people generally regard the so-called atmosphere of the neutron star as the surface of the neutron star because it is also extremely dense - it was already destroyed by the violent radiation of the neutron star.

According to Han Yang's estimate, based on the purchasing power of human coins, the manufacturing cost of a neutron-type seven detector is approximately 1500 million human coins.

When the distance shortens to 500 million kilometers, the acceleration due to gravity increases to about 5 meters per square second. When the distance is shortened to 10 kilometers, this number becomes about 13 kilometers.

Its total length reaches four meters and its total mass is 8.15 tons.

Finally, under the huge gravity of the neutron star, these neutron-type 15 detectors in free fall were accelerated to the second cosmic speed of the neutron star, which is about kilometers per second.

Taking into account the correction for the slow effect of the relativistic clock, the real observation time was ultimately only 0.039 microseconds.

These neutron-type seven detectors were first placed in a spacecraft. The spacecraft first performed reverse acceleration to offset the orbiting speed. After losing the orbiting speed, the spacecraft and the detector inside began a free fall relative to the neutron star.

According to preliminary calculations, to detect dark force radiation in this way, the Neutron VII detector must be close to a place no more than 10 kilometers away from the neutron star's atmosphere.

After collecting relevant data, the human scientific community immediately began targeted improvements. As a result, the "Neutron II" detector was quickly formed and put into practical testing.

At a speed of 15 kilometers per second, it only takes about 0.047 microseconds to fly over a distance of seven kilometers.

During this process, the spacecraft made some fine adjustments to disperse these detectors.

A total of 1000 of the first batch of Neutron VII detectors were manufactured. Under the gaze of millions of people, they follow different trajectories and the same speed, each flying towards the neutron star.

Then came Neutron Type 3, Type 4... until Type 7, these detectors passed the test.

This time, it failed again because of a problem with the insulation layer.

They rush toward the neutron star at a speed of 15 kilometers per second.

This is the result after taking into account the scale effect.

At a distance of about 1000 million kilometers from the neutron star, the gravitational acceleration experienced by external matter is about 1.33 meters per second squared, and the orbiting speed is about 115 kilometers per second.

There is only a seven-kilometer observation window in between.

However, the protective layer of the Neutron 3 detector will definitely be destroyed when it is about kilometers away from the neutron star.

Every second that passes, the speed increases by 13 kilometers under the original falling speed.

The latest neutron seven detector is in the shape of an ellipsoid. The outer layer is covered by a layer of highly insulating and highly reflective glass, and there are a total of twelve protective layers inside to protect the core observation equipment. .

The acceleration of 1.33 meters per square second seems very slow, but don't forget that the closer the object is to the neutron star, the faster this acceleration is.

The average monthly salary of ordinary graduates from the top 1000 universities is about RMB. The monthly salary of RMB is enough for this student to live a relatively comfortable life and become the envy of everyone, worthy of the praise of being young and wealthy.

Calculated in this way, the wealth created by 125 top college students working for one year is only enough to observe this neutron star for 0.039 microseconds.

Under the control of a precision chip, a neutron-type seven detector turned on the observation equipment the moment it entered the observation window. The observation equipment had just been turned on and it only observed for a moment. The next moment, the detector violently hit the neutron star, erupting with an energy equivalent to the explosion of billions of tons of TNT.

A total of 1000 neutron-type seven detectors rushed forward and slammed into the neutron star like moths flying into a flame, contributing a total of about 39 microseconds, or about 0.039 seconds of observation time.

After the first impact observation experiment, a large team of scientists once again analyzed the data obtained from this observation.

The final result makes people feel both happy and worried.

Fortunately, the destruction of these 1000 neutron- detectors and the data obtained before the destruction undoubtedly proved that this observation method is feasible.

The human scientific community really hopes to find evidence of the existence of dark force radiation through this method.

What is worrying is that, at the current level of observation, the expected time to observe dark force radiation is as high as about 60 seconds.

That is to say, based on statistical probability calculations, if the current theoretical predictions about dark force radiation are correct, then the key evidence will not be 60% discoverable until 100 seconds of continuous observation.

To put it in half, human civilization is lucky. It only observed half of the time, which still required 30 seconds of observation time.

Calculated based on the fact that one neutron type 0.039 detector can contribute 30 microseconds of observation time, a total of 77 seconds of observation time requires a total of about billion neutron type detectors.

The mass of a Neutron 8.15 detector is 627.55 tons, which is a total mass of billion tons.

If converted into water, it can fill a huge lake with an average water depth of 10 meters and a total area of ​​6275 square kilometers. Assuming that the cost of a Neutron VII detector is 1500 million human coins, this would require a total of 11.55 billion human coins. Assuming a monthly salary of RMB 1000 for a graduate from a top 500 university and a total working life of 19.25 years, it would require the investment of all the wealth created by approximately billion top university graduates in their lifetime.

And, to produce so many detectors, how many raw materials, industrial equipment, and resources are needed to build factories?
This has completely exceeded the engineering capabilities of the front-line scientific research fleet.

And... after investing so much resources and wealth, can we definitely get results?

Not necessarily.

Because all this is based on a premise, that is, the theoretical prediction is correct. If the theoretical predictions are incorrect, investing 10,000 times more resources and wealth will be just a waste.

Such a major issue must be decided at a meeting of the ruling committee.

Although the committee members all know in their hearts that even if they decide to implement this plan, it will ultimately be implemented by Han Yang, and all it will consume is Han Yang's computing power.

But from another perspective, Han Yang’s computing power is also a wealth of human civilization. If this computing power is put into other aspects, the same amount of wealth can be created.

Now that the wealth that could have been created is gone, doesn’t it mean a loss?

After listening to reports from the scientist representative team and the scientific advisory team, all irrelevant personnel finally left, leaving only the ruling committee members.

One committee member pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Perhaps, we can consult Luotu Civilization."

The Luotu civilization has now completed its investment in human civilization, and is now at a stage where it is afraid that human civilization will violate its agreement and abandon itself.

Moreover, the Luotu civilization had previously made a proposal to provide free assistance to human civilization with a full set of dark power theories, but it was rejected by humans.

If humans ask for advice, then the Luotu civilization will definitely not hesitate, for fear that humans will not generally give the most detailed and accurate answers. In this way, human civilization can avoid unnecessary losses.

The words of this member caused the other members to think.

After a long discussion, Commissioner Lu Xinghe finally stood up.

"I don't think we should seek help from the Luotu civilization. Even if this theoretical system turns out to be wrong and all the huge resources we have invested are wasted, we still have to suffer."

All the committee members looked at him together.

Lu Xinghe said solemnly and slowly: "Because mistakes are also a fortune and a kind of accumulation.

Our scientists can only truly embark on the wrong path, and truly rely on their own efforts to prove that this path is wrong. They can truly explore among thousands of paths, constantly pay the price, and in this way Only by finally finding the right path can our civilization truly transform into an innovative civilization instead of the learning civilization of the past.

Or another aspect. At this moment, we still have Luotu civilization and a head of state to rely on. In the future, when we are promoted to a fifth-level civilization and temporarily lose our leader, who can we rely on?
If you make a mistake, you will have to bear the consequences. If there is no price for mistakes, you will never understand the value of being right. "

After a long silence, the committee members finally agreed to Lu Xinghe's suggestion.

So, this matter was decided in this way.

Han Yang quickly made follow-up arrangements.

The first step is to mobilize an aerospace carrier from the front-line scientific research fleet, carry enough supplies and equipment, and leave the neutron star for the nearest galaxy.

That galaxy is 5.6 light-years away from the neutron star. It contains a gas giant planet and a rocky planet, as well as an asteroid belt and many dwarf planets. It has sufficient material reserves. Unlike the surrounding neutron star, there are only They are just some asteroids and cannot afford such large-scale development.

In addition, ten more space carriers were dispatched from the main fleet to that galaxy.

Han Yang predicted that large-scale development of primitive planets and the construction of a series of factories would take a long time. Moreover, after a sufficient number of Neutron VII detectors are finally produced, the only three space carriers in the front-line scientific research fleet will not be enough to undertake the transportation task.

In this case, we should first build and produce in the galaxy near the neutron star, and take advantage of this period of time to let the ten space carriers drawn from the main fleet rush on their way.

In the future, when the detectors are built, the ten space carriers deployed by the main fleet will almost arrive, and they will start transporting these detectors together.

A few years later, this galaxy, whose environment was also harsh and dead due to its proximity to a neutron star, received an unprecedented visit from intelligent life.

A single neutron star is certainly not enough to spread its influence 5.6 light-years away. But don’t forget that before a neutron star was formed, it was originally a huge star with a mass at least three times that of the sun.

At the end of its life, it experienced the most violent physical process in the entire universe, a supernova explosion. Because of this, a neutron star can be created.

The power of a supernova explosion is enough to affect all stars in this nearby galaxy. The subsequent arrival of high-radiation interstellar dust is enough to turn this galaxy into purgatory.

Even the human fleet needs to be cautious when constructing in this galaxy.

Huge construction began in this desolate, dead, and harsh galaxy.

During this period of time, the front-line scientific research fleet was not idle, but began to carry out preliminary research on this neutron star and conduct some preparations before the formal test.

Scientists in the human science community are still conducting a lot of theoretical calculations and deductions, exploring other possibilities, and improving the current plan as much as possible.

This experiment consumes so much resources that everything must be ensured.

Decades passed quietly. In the end, countless factories sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain in this dead galaxy. A large number of neutron type seven detectors were also quickly produced on the assembly line.

Ten large space carriers from the human main fleet also finally arrived. Before that, the original aerospace carrier had already loaded the first batch of 5000 million detectors produced and embarked on the return journey to the vicinity of the neutron star.

The second batch of detectors has also been produced. As a result, the second space carrier set sail as scheduled. Next is the third ship, the fourth ship...

A steady stream of detectors is like a river, continuously flowing around the neutron star. (End of chapter)
