Chapter 231 Powerless
And to be able to cause such strong gravitational wave turbulence at such a distance, the so-called advanced civilization must be ridiculously powerful. The most likely possibility is that the civilizations in the Galactic Center Alliance broadcast have met, but I don’t know which one it is.
Thinking of this, Yue Yuan looked at Gand: "How far is the source of gravitational waves from us?"
"About 200 light years." Gand handed the data record in his hand back to the staff, and then explained a few more words, asking all types of detectors to "look" in the direction of the gravitational wave source.
In fact, at such a long distance of 200 light years, in theory, other detection methods of human beings will definitely not be able to find anything except gravitational waves. It is really too far away. Even if there are hundreds of millions of warships gathered there, humans cannot observe it.
Unless there is a large astronomical event such as a star explosion there, I think Gand means to observe these.
Yue Yuan has no opinion on this. As he thought before, humans can do nothing but continue to sail. The most likely thing to do is to try to observe, just like Gand and other astronomers are doing now.
If we can see some clues, it can also enhance human understanding of the forces of the universe, that's all.
However, Yue Yuan is not worried about this, he is worried about whether humans will be affected.
Two hundred light years is very far for humans, but for those advanced civilizations, it is probably no different from walking a few steps.
In this case, if the human fleet is discovered, it will be the end.
"Do as Professor Gan said. In addition, notify all ships to point their shipborne telescopes in that direction. We need to know what happened there." Yue Yuan thought about it and turned on the fleet communication channel to convey his meaning.
After a while, he probably figured it out, and because of the distance, according to the time, when the gravitational waves were received by humans, what happened at the source of the gravitational waves was already two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years have passed, maybe the war over there has been over.
And now humans are still fine, it is very likely that they are safe, and maybe those advanced civilizations have left.
Of course, this is just a guess. Maybe they are still there and still fighting, but they don't have time to pay attention to other stars, so they didn't find the human fleet.
The worst case scenario is that the human fleet has been discovered, but perhaps the human fleet is like dust in the eyes of those advanced civilizations, not as important as what they are doing now.
In any case, humans can only pray.
This feeling is too bad.
At this moment, the joy brought by becoming a second-level civilization and various biological transformation technologies was suddenly diluted a lot.
After the order was issued, the relevant scientists arrived at the scene. Yue Yuan was not vague and said directly: "What do you think caused such a strong change in gravitational waves?"
"We can now be sure that the source of gravitational waves must not be produced by natural celestial bodies." Gan De was the first to answer. He did not stop his work while speaking. "The frequency of the latest detected gravitational waves has exceeded the frequency of gravitational wave signals in the natural environment of the universe that we know of. So we think that this can no longer be considered a gravitational wave signal, but a gravitational wave turbulence."
"General, look here!"
Gande completed the work of converting the detected gravitational wave data to the big screen. Then he picked up the moving cursor and pointed to the parameters on the screen for Yue Yuan, and then said: "We found that there is not only one source of gravitational waves, but multiple places and points. The gravitational waves we received are actually interfered gravitational waves, and their frequencies are very chaotic and the changes are irregular."
"Gravity bomb?" A scholar interrupted.
"Maybe!" It was not Gander who took over the conversation, but a physicist. He said slowly: "In theory, gravity bombs exist. We believe that civilizations with the ability to travel at warp speed are likely to master the so-called gravity bombs."
The physicist did not explain too much about the relationship between gravity bombs and warp speed travel, because he knew that those who could discuss it here at least had a certain level of scientific literacy and should have some understanding.
Moreover, there is another point, that is, the so-called relationship between the two is actually just the product of humans combining the imperfect imagination of warp speed travel with the imagination of time and space distortion. Maybe the real gravity bomb is not like this.
However, the physicist seemed to be talking about something other than the gravitational bomb. He paused for a moment and continued, "According to our existing scientific theories, if our theories are correct, the gravitational bomb should be a technology mastered by a level 4 civilization, and the one that can cause such intense gravitational waves must be several celestial bodies that far exceed the mass of normal stars, entangled with each other and disturbing space-time.
Although we are just guessing, I don't think that a mere gravitational bomb can produce such violent gravitational fluctuations. You should still remember the broadcast of the Galactic Center Alliance.
Do you think that the alliance that can broadcast so recklessly and still regards itself as the Milky Way is just a mere level 4 civilization?"
"Do you mean that the civilizations whose names were mentioned in the broadcast are more advanced existences?" A military officer asked at the right time.
The physicist nodded, "Yes, we can't determine what level they belong to, but based on the messy gravitational wave turbulence detected now, I can assert that it must be a weapon more powerful than a gravitational bomb, perhaps a weapon that has already involved space itself."
The military personnel who had doubts just now frowned: "Space oscillation?! Are there really such weapons?"
"Why not!" The physicist concentrated and held his breath, scanning the people present, and then said: "Everyone here may still have some doubts, thinking that gravitational waves or space-time distortions themselves do not have much lethality. Well, in fact, it is true.
Just like we are in the turbulence of gravitational waves now, if it were not for the laser interference space antenna array, we would not even feel anything."
"But everyone should understand that at this moment, you, me, and all our fleets are actually being stretched and compressed along with the gravitational waves coming from two hundred light years away.
The reason why there is no strong feeling is first because we humans do not have an intuitive organ to respond to the changes in gravitational waves, and secondly because the gravitational waves have become very weak when they reach us. This is just like we have been living on the earth. The earth or any planet is actually a gravitational well, but it is relatively smooth."
