I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 841 - 505: Pathbreaking_1
Chapter 841: Chapter 505: Pathbreaking_1
A few minutes later, Harrison Clark returned to the main command center,
At this time, two space stations, one large and one small, were docking together, hiding behind the Shadow of Jupiter.
Such proximity between the Sage Institute and the military command center was actually quite dangerous.
After Mr. Green’s command center was destroyed, mankind would not take such risks unless it was a major issue.
Upon arrival, Harrison put on a compressed skin-tight armor with the same space-flight capabilities and took a fast shuttle to the secret chamber within the Sage Institute.
With technological progress and the overproduction brought by the rapid stellar energy development system, human equipment in various fields has been greatly improved.
Take his custom-made Unnamed Armor, for example; its structure is very simple, but the combination of various compressed components makes the performance of this armor fall between the Summit Armor of the Seventh Timeline and the Galaxy Equipment of the Eighth Timeline.
Theoretically, even if the space station were destroyed by Star-shattering Cannons, Harrison would still have a high chance of reacting in time and successfully escaping.
Unfortunately, the production capacity of the Unnamed Armor is not high, and only high-ranking soldiers, general-level commanders, and leader-level figures in politics, science, and economics with qualified military literacy are qualified to wear it.
In the slightly cramped secret chamber, seven or eight old men sat upright and serious.
Nora Camp sat across from the old men with a furrowed brow, clearly troubled.
When Harrison walked in, everyone’s gaze focused on him.
Without exchanging pleasantries, Harrison sat down and got straight to the point: “What’s going on, just tell me.”
An old man from the Sage Institute took out a blueprint from the document bag next to him and placed it in front of Harrison.
Harrison was slightly surprised.
What era is this, and they’re still using paper media in storing information?
“What in the world is this?”
He grumbled, then took the blueprint and started looking at it on his own.
The blueprint appeared to be a hand-drawn astronomical calculation manuscript.
In the center of the first picture was a large black circle, with spiral lines drawn around the edge of the circle.
Rotating around the circle was the Shadow Galaxy, which was identical to the Solar System.
This was the secondary orbital simulation diagram of the Shadow of the Sun Galaxy.
Harrison flipped the page and saw another smaller circle revolving around a black hole.
The radius of the circle was marked as 5.329 billion kilometers.
On the circle, there was a small dot marked as Pathbreaking Space Station.
When Harrison saw the parameters of the space station, he was shocked.
This space station’s size and mass were comparable to the DF-711 Star Fortress Ship.
The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
The Pathbreaking was actually the largest ship ever built by humans, with a total crew of slightly fewer than sixteen hundred million people, which is less than the DF-711.
What’s even more bizarre is that in order to counteract the gravitational effects of the massive dark energy black hole, the Pathbreaking space station revolves around the black hole at a speed of 258.2 thousand kilometers per second, almost at the speed of light, with an orbital period as short as 36 hours.
This means that the space station will travel 334.66 billion kilometers a day without using the Pseudo-Curvature Engine, relying solely on physical medium propulsion.
To counter this terrifying centrifugal force, the Pathbreaking Space Station must consume a massive amount of energy to create an anti-gravity field within it.
So far, Pathbreaking has quietly lurked near the dark energy black hole for 120 years, and the 1.6 billion people inside it have already reproduced until the Third Generation.
Maintaining such a high speed for 120 years with no faults while simultaneously consuming an extremely large amount of energy shows that the super-large ship that condensed the highest scientific and technological achievements at the time was not the DF-711, but the Pathbreaking.
Harrison even felt somewhat at a loss, not knowing why humanity had to consume such a large amount of resources to build something that was ultimately meaningless.
He found that in the design plan of the Pathbreaking, they hadn’t considered Curvature Motion to accelerate and escape the gravitational capture range of the black hole.
Of course, it may also be that considering it would be useless, as reaching an absolute speed of 258.2 thousand kilometers per second for such a huge object would have already been the limit of human technology.The lives of the 1.6 billion people inside seemed to be trapped in a visible death cycle.
The day the energy runs out is the time when Pathbreaking is completely captured by the gravity of the black hole and eventually falls into it.
Due to the loss of propulsion, the resistance caused by cosmic dust will slightly slow down the orbital speed of Pathbreaking, breaking the balance between centrifugal and centripetal forces. Subsequently, the orbital radius of the spaceship will continue to shrink, forming a mosquito coil-like spiral similar to the golden ratio, entering an acceleration state, and constantly approaching the black hole in circle by circle orbits.
But because of its huge size, Pathbreaking could never reach the speed of light.
When the distance between the space station and the black hole is so close that even objects moving at the speed of light couldn’t escape, Pathbreaking’s rotation speed will reach its limit, and the entire space station will be infinitely stretched into a “line,” eventually being completely engulfed by the black hole.
Harrison Clark just wanted to ask, what was the point of this plan?
Isn’t it just sending the 1.6 billion people and their descendants to their deaths for nothing?
Flip to the next page.
Harrison Clark falls into a long silence.
The static image on this page has been drawn with a dynamic effect.
It was indeed the scene of the Pathbreaking Space Station’s fall.
In fact, the fall had already started, exactly 28 months ago, the day he arrived in the Shadow Galaxy.
The crash process has been going on for 28 months.
Right now, this largest space station ever built by humans will completely enter the event horizon of the dark energy black hole.
As for the people inside, they probably all sacrificed their lives about two years ago.
According to computer simulations, the moment Pathbreaking enters the event horizon, it will “explode” violently due to the collision with the black hole.
Based on the principle of a black hole explosion, a massive amount of gamma-rays will be emitted in the opposite direction to the tangent.
This gamma-ray burst is aimed directly at the sun in the Shadow Galaxy.
“So your goal is to create this 200 million kilometer-wide massive gamma-ray burst to try and impact the dome?”
Harrison Clark asked.
The old man in the Sage Institute nodded, “Yes. This is the latest, most feasible plan we could think of. At the time, we didn’t know Lord Sage would bring Freddy back with you, let alone create so many new miracles. But now it seems that our arrangement still makes sense. Thanks to the cover of the dark energy black hole’s radiation field, the Compound-Eyed Observer never discovered the Pathbreaking. According to our prearranged plan, once the dome reaches the Shadow Galaxy, the people inside the Pathbreaking would voluntarily reduce energy supply. After our precise calculations, the collision time is today. In three days, this gamma-ray burst will arrive.”
“1.6 billion people, just to create this one ray?”
The old man nodded, “Yes. It takes so many people working together to maintain the stable operation of Pathbreaking. With no way to get help from us, they can only rely on themselves.”
Harrison Clark asked, “Does Freddy know yet?”
“We need your authorization, Lord Sage, before we can inform Dr. Freddy. After all, Dr. Freddy lives in the quantum network, and we must avoid being discovered by the Compound-Eyed Observer.”
Harrison Clark took a deep breath, “Alright, inform Freddy, and come up with a safe way on your own. I want to know what surprises this gamma-ray burst can bring. If it’s useless…never mind.”
After speaking, Harrison Clark got up and left.
He always understood the principle of the kind not mastering soldiers.
He always refused to be a leader precisely because he found that, in the entire secret room, he was the only one who cared about the fate of the 1.6 billion people in Pathbreaking.
Nora Camp got up and chased after him.
She said loudly from behind, “Harrison Clark, to cooperate with this scientific experiment, we need to develop a more comprehensive plan, even more ambitious than Operation T1. I want to hear your opinion.”
Harrison Clark turned back, “I have no thoughts. If there is anything for me to do, just arrange it. 1.6 billion people, 120 years, all for this one ray of light, you people are crazy! When this plan was made… nevermind, you were just a little girl.”
Nora Camp: “I was involved.”
Harrison Clark: “…”
Nora Camp: “As long as we can win, no matter the cost, it’s worth it, right?”
