Vol 4 Chapter 1049: Unsolvable three-body system

After the hunting plan was launched, the staff immediately began to do deduction analysis.
Regarding the deduction and analysis of the battle strategy, the staff has carried out countless similar deductions, so the conclusions reached quickly.
"Regarding the hunting of β235 Scutum, there are three things to pay attention to..."
Chu Xingyun got the notes handed over by the various military staffs and began to make a summary report: "First, half an hour ago, we had already obtained the information on the advanced mining ships of the Palese civilization from the Three Eyes Civilization.
"As expected, this is an armed mining ship, but its defensive capabilities and power system are stronger, and its weapon system is average.
"Furthermore, the technology used by the advanced mining ships is second only to the main battleship of Palerce.
"According to the data, the energy shield of the mining ship is the most advanced triangular matrix shield, which is the yellow triangular matrix shield of the Pegasus main battleship.
"Therefore, the team performing hunting operations must have the strongest attack power and need to break the triangular matrix shield of the mining ship before they can hope to seize the mining ship.
"In addition, the curvature speed of the mining ship is 20 times the speed of light, which means that once the mining ship enters the curvature flight, we will never catch it.
"Second, the mining ship may have a self-detonation system, so the entire attack process must be fast, otherwise it is very likely that nothing will be obtained.
"Third, the support speed of the Palestine civilization support fleet may be very fast, once again shortening the operation time. Moreover, the speculation about the support fleet is related to the purpose of the three-eyed civilization Karaxis.
"There is a possibility that Karaksi just wants us to attack the mining ship and attract support to the fleet, and then the fleet of the Three Eyes can carry out their real purpose."
...
The seventh day after the launch of the β235 Scutum hunting program.
The Counterattack officially set sail, taking the hyperspace channel, and the star system β235 Scutum ahead.
According to the curvature of the counterattack 10 times the speed of light, it sailed for five months.
However, calculating the "photon transition" speed of the source above can shorten the time to more than three months.
In addition.
Inside the counterattack, a space engineering ship was loaded.
There are two thousand ship repair engineers on the space engineering ship. They will salvage and repair a carbon-based alliance shipwreck near the star field near β235 Scutum.
When the voyage lasted for a month, the Counterattack entered the internal circulation phase, and the food began to be mainly potatoes.
There is no other reason, potatoes are good plants and easy to live.
Niu Dazhi learned from the previous experience, so this time he went on a mission. He filled boxes of instant noodles and ham in the cabin.
"Eating potatoes is impossible to eat potatoes? Only by eating instant noodles can you survive."
Niu Dazhi soaks the instant noodles? Cross your fingers and stretch out to start eating.
At this moment.
A person suddenly reached out and lifted the lid of the instant noodles, rolled up a roll of instant noodles with a fork? I sucked it and ate it.
"Hey! My violent temper." Niu Dazhi wanted to attack immediately?
"What's your temper?"
"My violent temper...suddenly healed." Niu Dazhi looked at the dazzling Azure Dragon Armor, and forcibly held back.
"It tastes good." Fang Yuan praised with a thumbs up? Then he put down his fork.
Immediately after.
Another hand stretched over and picked up the fork? Ready to learn something? Lower your head and start eating.
Niu Dazhi slapped the table fiercely and yelled: "I can't bear it anymore."
"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it. This bowl of instant noodles was used by the deputy captain." Eve lowered his head and stuffed the noodles into his mouth.
Niu Dazhi stretched out his hand to push her head, trying to keep the instant noodles: "Zing you to be tall."
"Captain? Niu Dazhi beat the deputy captain..."
The two pinched each other.
Lang Xiaonian put the freshly soaked noodles on the table and said: "Don't grab it, mine is for you."
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Eve immediately took Lang Xiaonian's instant noodles in his arms: "It's for me."
"Why? After a few years in a foreign country, pretending that you don't understand Chinese characters? It's ‘you’? Not ‘you’!" Niu Dazhi was not ready to give up and continued to tear.
...
On the big screen of the bridge? The picture of Virgo 61 is always playing.
Lang Xiaonian has been watching this just now, trying to figure out the cause of the gamma-ray burst in Virgo 61.
At this moment? Fang Yuan was also staring.
In the picture, it is a system of three stars.
This makes Virgo 61 a standard three-body world? For life? It is like hell.
The three-body problem is the basic mechanical model in celestial mechanics.
Refers to the issue of three celestial bodies moving mutually under the action of mutual gravitation.
At present, the mathematics and physics circles have a common conclusion that the three-body problem cannot be solved accurately.
In other words, the movement of the three-body system is unpredictable, even chaotic.
Therefore, a system composed of three stars may indeed collide and merge.
If there is external influence, the probability of star collision is higher.
"How amazing. Under the observation of the space telescope, Virgo 61 is still three intact stars, but in fact, Virgo 61 at this moment no longer exists." Lang Xiaonian sighed.
"Yes. What we see now is Virgo 61 49 years ago." Fang Yuan followed with a sigh.
Because of the destruction of Virgo 61, mankind has entered the doomsday countdown again.
The time span of 49 years does not seem short.
However, on the cosmic scale, it is actually just a snap.
The interstellar war between the Carbon-based Alliance and the Palestine civilization has lasted for tens of thousands of earth years, and 49 years is indeed not long for them.
Ulysses used this method to destroy mankind. For him, it was a very common method.
...
Counterattack was accelerated by the fleet skill "Photon Jump", and after three months of sailing, it arrived in an unnamed star system in the star field near β235 Scutum.
According to the shipwreck coordinates given by the photosynthetic civilization Piges, there is a space battleship that sank 20,000 years ago.
The location of the shipwreck is not difficult to find, and the shipwreck was quickly found on a planetary ring.
After the Counterattack dropped the space engineering ship, it patrolled around to confirm the safety of the star system, and then it was ready to continue sailing towards β235 Scutum.
This space engineering ship will work alone in the unnamed star system for three months to salvage the sunken ship and try to repair it.
Three months later, the Counterattack will return to pick up the space engineering ship home.
If the Counterattack cannot return, there will be Earth’s superluminal spacecraft responsible for the return mission.
After bidding farewell to the space engineering ship, the Counterattack embarked on a journey alone to the β235 Scutum star system to prepare for the hunting operation of the Palisades advanced mining ship.
During the three months of this voyage, the Earth has been actively communicating with the Carbon-based Alliance, hoping to obtain more information.
However, the three-eyed civilization has done a good job of keeping secrets and did not reveal their true purpose.
