Chapter 555 How to Contact the Milky Way
The next person to report to Yuan Shichen is Tesla, the commander of the engineering construction department.??? ?
Since the departments managed by Tesla are not directly responsible for specific tasks and mostly cooperate with collaborative work, his report is much simpler than others.
After the report, Tesla sat upright in the seat shyly. Yuan Shichen knew his personality and signaled him to sit for a while: "Tesla, don't worry, I have a few more questions to ask you."
"Uh, ask whatever you want." Tesla was stunned at first, then quickly answered.
"Don't be nervous, it's all about your professional field." Yuan Shichen smiled and said to Tesla in a relaxed tone.
"Okay." When Tesla heard that it was a problem involving its own professional field, it immediately felt much more relaxed.
"Do you have any opinions on the interstellar communication requests that have been out of the new world that have lasted for hundreds of years?" Yuan Shichen began to ask immediately.
"This," Tesla stumbled, and then asked, "Leader, I understand what you mean. You are questioning their purpose of sending the signal."
"No," Yuan Shichen nodded calmly and replied.
"Indeed, all the mainstream research ideas before thought that those who made communication requests to the Milky Way were to contact the Milky Way's human base camp for help. However, I think this idea is unrealistic," Tesla replied with some concern.
"Then why didn't you raise any questions in the previous discussion meetings?" asked Yuan Shichen.
"This" Tesla showed a moment of twist, "I didn't think the overall importance of this view event before."
"But, you understand now."
"Yes, I've realized it."
"Okay, then you can analyze it for me from a technical perspective."
"First, the New World and the Milky Way are more than 40,000 light-years apart. Even if we have strong directed radio stations with maximum power at our peak, whether it is gravitational waves, electromagnetic waves, or lasers, they are not enough to meet such long-distance communication requirements." Tesla said with confidence.
"Well, this is also my initial view, so I asked you whether there are other ways to achieve this communication requirement in the fields of engineering operations and implementation." Yuan Shichen was also very clear that it was 40,000 light years away. When the signal arrived at the Milky Way, it would attenuate and disperse.
In response to Yuan Shichen's question, Tesla thought for a long time before answering: "Or it is only theoretical possibility. A strong gravitational wave communication device based on a black hole above medium size. "
Compared with other communication methods, gravitational wave communication can easily penetrate objects without obvious decay. Because of this, the communication function of gravitational waves is widely used in the field of long-distance communication for space navigation.
However, how to generate gravitational waves of sufficient intensity is the biggest technical problem in the communication process. In fact, even if the mass of the entire star is used to create gravitational waves, it is still very small.
Human civilization has always used the powerful gravitational effect of artificial small black holes to solve this problem, and because of its actual effect, it has not been used as a conventional means of communication.
"Black holes above medium size!!" Yuan Shichen's eyes lit up, and he shook his head and continued, "That is impossible. You must know that even the Dutar black hole mastered by the base camp of the Milky Way human civilization still cannot meet the standards of medium size black holes!"
"Yes, so I said that this is just a theoretical possibility." Tesla replied in a low voice.
The office fell silent, and Yuan Shichen leaned back slightly until his back pillow reached the soft chair back.
Tesla also sat quietly in his seat, staring at the leader from time to time from the corner of his eyes, waiting silently.
This time, Yuan Shichen thought for a whole minute before finally speaking.
"Don't say that 2oo years ago, even 2oo years ago, the New World would not have a medium-sized black hole."
"Then, no one in the new world has the ability to get in touch with the Milky Way." Tesla then added, "I mean the category of human civilization."
Yuan Shichen understood that Tesla's meaning, the source of the signal that might be sent is not in the new world, nor may it be from humans (such as dark energy civilization). However, these are not within the scope of discussion for the time being.
"So, we can infer that the people who requested communications from the New World o years ago have their communication destinations worth discussing again. Perhaps they did not want to contact the human base of the Milky Way, but just a coincidence in the direction?"
"Or or they don't know that the communication method is invalid?"
"Or they still insist on trying even though they know it is slim?"
Yuan Shichen picked up the tea on the table and drank several sips, but did not come up with a clear idea.
"What do you think?" Yuan Shichen suddenly turned around and asked Tesla opposite him.
"Maybe all these are possible. After all, things have been so long." Tesla did not make a decision, so he had to answer softly.
"After you go back, organize people to continue to study the possibility of contacting the Milky Way, which will be of great help to Yu Liang and the others in finding their goals." Yuan Shichen nodded slightly and reminded him.
"Okay, we will definitely take care of it."
"Thank you for your hard work, you can go and do it first."
After Tesla left, Yuan Shichen was still thinking alone in the office.
Who are they? What is their purpose? What is it going toward the Milky Way?
"Feihong, starting today, you must make it the most important task of our military!!"
Yu Liang had a hint of anger on his face and whispered aloof to Commander Yu Feihong standing opposite him.
"Yes!" Although the military has long regarded tracing the source of communication signals as its most important task, Yu Feihong didn't say much because he could feel Yu Liang's pressure.
"I let go of the words in front of everyone at the conference, but now I haven't achieved any results!"
Whenever Yu Liang thinks of the embarrassing scenes when reporting to the leader, he feels ashamed and loses all his face.
"The leader gave us all the mission, and asked us to use all military resources to find the answer as quickly as possible." Yu Liang turned his back and looked out the window with a serious expression, "As long as these people or organizations who sent the message still exist, or the territory of the new world once existed, we must find them quickly!"
"Yes, in the next time, I will personally inquire about all the search work of the legion. If there is no clue, I will not have the face to see you." Yu Feihong gave a greeting and replied loudly to Yu Liang.
Upon hearing this, Yu Liang's expression slowed down and said, "That's not possible. If you don't come back, who will help me withstand these pressures?"
