Half-immortal civilization

In the empty space, a spaceship is advancing alone.Only the occasional flash of tail flames can show that the spacecraft is still alive.

Coldness and darkness are the characteristics of the universe, and emptiness and loneliness are also the characteristics of the universe.

"The new asteroid calculation method has been updated. Use at least three-point information collection calculation method, and if time permits, you can continuously collect information. Use simulation functions to make calculations. The error is about [-]/[-]; the main source of error is the space itself Distortion of light caused by unevenness; with current technology, it is still unavoidable.

We can only use a lot of repeated calculations and checks to calculate a more accurate asteroid route. "

After the wrong information about the last asteroid test occurred, it made everyone a false alarm; but then, they began to change the calculation method.After several days of struggle, the new calculation method was finally determined.However, the distortion of light caused by the unevenness of the space itself, and the resulting errors are still unavoidable.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to carry out a large number of measurements, data collection and accumulation, and then calculate the probability after scientific analysis, so that the compensation calculation for the distorted light can be carried out in a targeted manner.

In fact, the best way is to calculate the distortion of the space itself; however, human beings can directly observe the space itself without any instruments; this leads to the inevitable occurrence of calculation errors.Moreover, an error of one ten-thousandth in space is a very terrifying statistic.

"One in ten thousand error? It's too big!" Liu Haibo was a little helpless. The exploration of space by human beings is still in its infancy.Too many technologies are not available, and more technologies are not up to standard!

"But this is already the most accurate method that can be adopted at this stage!" Facing Captain Liu's dissatisfaction, the scientist felt a little uncomfortable.

"Use the small railgun and the reflected laser to attack the asteroid to calculate the data! Use the laser to track the projectile along the way and trace the trajectory!" Liu Haibo immediately ordered.

It's a brilliant idea, but also a terrible approach.Liu Haibo would never know, because this order of his was later deliberately marked as Liu's detection method.This is a detection method with a very wide range of applications, not necessarily rail guns, even bullets; as long as there is a laser that can feed back the corresponding information.

But it's also a bad order.Railguns are no joke.Even, the smaller the projectile, the faster the speed!

Later, this order can be regarded as mixed: although it is simple and practical, firing guns at will caused certain bad effects.

For now, though, it's a brilliant idea.By continuously launching projectiles with a size of a few millimeters, the trajectory is calculated by laser tracking, and the accuracy is verified by hitting an asteroid.

As the saying goes, fish are born in water but do not know water; a huge spacecraft flies in space, and everything in itself is in a state of follow-up, so it is impossible to detect changes in the universe.However, it can detect the operation and control of other known complete substances in space.

This is the later famous Liu's detection method!
"Great idea!" Mr. Zhang Jianye, a great physicist-only in a spaceship, was surprised.

Through a slight acceleration, under the acceleration of a railgun with a length of more than 40 meters, a round and easy-to-reflect projectile carrier with a diameter of only four millimeters flew out of the spaceship at an absolute speed of more than 1500 kilometers per second and aimed at a distant one. An asteroid about three meters in size on the scanning mirror.It's just that this asteroid is 500 million kilometers away.

The spacecraft continued to move forward, and the laser beam of the sweeping cat lightly irradiated the projectile continuously, and returned the data, forming a three-dimensional forward path in the computer.

"Look!" Someone exclaimed.

I saw that the trajectory of the projectile in the computer was obviously skewed when the length of a million kilometers was reduced to the size of the screen!There is nothing regular about this trajectory, at least for now.There are fluctuations in every direction, up and down, front and back, more like a bumper ball moving irregularly.Even, the information reflected back from the laser in some places shows that the size of the projectile (external optical size) is also changing.This change is very subtle, extremely subtle; it is obviously caused by spatial changes.

"Captain Liu is amazing! We can see that another great thinker has been born!" Zhang Jianye joked.

"Don't be distracted, one or two tests can't calculate the distortion of space. It depends on whether it can hit the asteroid in the end." Liu Haibo remained calm.In a master company, really don't be arrogant, because there are always too many geniuses and genius-like ideas coming out.

"No, I think Captain Liu's idea is more important than hitting an asteroid. I propose to use the superstring communication device to report this great discovery to the headquarters. I calculated it. After simplification, it is only about 300 words, about It is enough to consume 10 degrees of energy."

"Agreed! Let the bastards on the ground see that we are not here for space tourism, but for real scientific investigation and exploration!"

"Yes, Captain Liu. This method of yours has solved many people's headaches! We don't know if others have thought of it; but I think it's best to send it back as soon as possible and let the company take care of the publicity. This is a great discovery, Hold firmly in your own hands.

I think such a simple and effective method can be used for at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Just like the original nautical sextant, the core of the mechanical device used for positioning on our spacecraft is still the sextant.The only difference is that it is more precise. "

"Okay, send it to the headquarters right away!" Liu Haibo's face was a little red, and he was excited and happy, and of course there was something called shyness.

A big and rough man invented a method that amazed scientists, and it was even handed down for millions of years in the future.

It is actually very simple to activate the superstring communication device. In order to have as much time as possible to send out the most critical signal, detailed arrangements have already been made.Just turn on the switch and the message will be sent.

Huh... Everyone felt a faint ripple flashing past, as if the entire spaceship was like the surface of water just now, with slight fluctuations.But the volatility comes and goes faster.Before everyone could react, they had already disappeared.

And the earth, which is hundreds of millions of kilometers away, and the headquarters of the master company received the information from space almost within 5 seconds.

However, in space, after the information is transmitted, the detection still needs to continue.

Scientific research is rigorous, rigorous and even cumbersome.For example, at present, only one measurement is not enough, and because the spacecraft is advancing at a high speed, the test needs to be carried out continuously; after a group of data is collected, it will be archived and retained, and perhaps this will be powerful data for ground research in space.In space, preliminary calculations are also being carried out; but because of the lack of a large number of scientists, more calculations are carried out around data archiving.

Along the way, three unlucky asteroids were scanned and became live targets.Such behavior, until the spacecraft enters the real asteroid belt in the traditional sense.
