Chapter 223: Neutron Star Fragment

Other than the scientists, other people were equally shocked by the scene before the They itnessing light being twisted before their very eyes, and that was not so asked, "Professor, what does this represent? Why is the light creating these pictures?"

Alan replied, "Because of gravity This fragment’s reater than the new planet’s as the new planet’s mass is but only one over several ten thousands of the sun’s e where we still can’t spot it froh ravity field that it creates is powerful enough that even light can only traverse it in parabolic state In other words, one needs to achieve the speed of parabolic light to overcoment…"

Many pairs of eyes looked at Alan vacantly even after his explanation He elaborated patiently, "Siravity, but the fact is everyyou and ravity we exude is so negligible that we norer density celestial bodies, like Earth or the new planet, gravity is a treanisms and atmosphere are pulled to the planet's surface and do not escape into the wide cosmos

"Therefore, to elevate fro force that can overpower its gravity For exaravitational system to achieve this But what if we don’t have access to this technology? Then we’ll have to rely on speed, or more specifically, surface escape speed In terms of Earth and new planet, the speed we need to achieve is about 10 kiloreater the surface escape speed For so like the sun, its surface escape speed can reach up 600 kilometers per second…"

Suddenly, a soldier interrupted, "Professor, the speed of light is about 300,000 kiloment is only one-thousandth the sun’s mass, then its surface escape speed shouldn’t have reached a stage where light needs to enter the parabolic state, right?"

It was obvious that even though this was a person froreater than your run of the ically speaking, yes, but you’ve er to point at the still-changing light show He continued, "Scientifically speaking, the smallest size of a neutron star that can theoretically exist is one-tenth of the sun’s mass, or it would collapse froether However, the fragment before us is one-thousandth of the sun’s mass; this alone is beyond our current scientific co cold; its surface terees, and how close are we to it now? Ten thousand kilometers We should have been vaporized Furthernetic field, so our surveillance device should have been fried ere a hundred million kilometers away from it, much less ten thousand kilooes to sho scientifically advanced the civilization behind this fraght not understand it, but the force needed to conetic field, and high pressure to a 5,000 kilometers radius is just crazy The 5,000 kilo enough to fuse atomic nucleus into neutrons Beyond that 5,000 kilo is like normal space… This is as if God has cla was silent After a while he asked, "Professor, can you explain what is happening before you? Is the neutron star fraget close to it? And is there any way for us to change its trajectory?"

This time it was Alan ent silent Later, he picked up the thread of conversation, "Major Ying, I’ll answer your questions one by one First, froht not be the neutron star we have in our minds, but it is still a threat that is not less than the actual neutron star fragiven the choice, I’d rather this neutron star frag an alien creation is frightening…"

Everyone understood what Alan ment was an alien race creation, then hu a civilization this powerful It wouldn’t bode well for huravitational system"

Suddenly, Bo Li, who stood to the side, spoke up Everyone turned to look at her curiously

Ying frowned, but before he could speak, Alan nodded, "That’s right Major Ying, didn’t you ask how can this thing exist? Professor Bo Li just gave us one of the best possibilities Think of it like this: first we cut off a piece of the neutron star; don’t ask me hoe just do Then we find a box about 5,000 by 5,000 kiloment inside it The box is invisible and untouchable, so it wouldn’t be destroyed by the neutron star fragravitational unit inside the box to contain the fraget the scenario we see before us, the neutron star's gravity field within the 5,000 kiloht about it and asked, "Then, Professor, can the Observer go near the frag as we are not within the 5,000 kiloht?"

Alan nodded "Theoretically speaking, yes, but no one can tell ill really happen…"

Ying said fir to take Since we’re already here, there’s no e’re returning without doing anything I want to see for myself what this box you speak of is like By the way, Professor, ill happen if we destroy this box?"
