Through the telescope, Hawk observed that the debris formed by the Earth's explosion began to appear chaotic fluctuations, some small fragments out of orbit began to fly toward the sun, but those large fragments are always not too far from the orbit. Hawk breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that the sun had escaped a disaster, but also thankful that he had escaped a disaster.
That's the thing about high-energy ray bursts, they're powerful, they come fast but they also go fast.
Hawk did not come out of the back of Mars, because the high-energy ray burst is only the first blow, after, there is a wave.
That is the high-energy charged particle stream! Also commonly known as the solar wind. The aurora borealis on Earth is the result of a stream of energetic charged particles from the Sun colliding with the Earth's magnetic field.
When solar flares erupt and the intensity of the energetic charged particle flow reaches its maximum, it can even affect satellite communications and bring down the power grid. A major power outage in the United States in the twentieth century was caused by a solar flare.
And even if you think with your butt, you can think that this time from Jupiter's high-energy charged particle flow, will definitely exceed the sun countless times! After all, the solar eruption of particle flow, is in the overall smooth state of emission, but now the situation of Jupiter, God knows to what extent the sky has turned upside down.
The speed of the energetic charged particle stream is much slower than the speed of light, about four million kilometers per hour. According to this calculation, it will reach Mars orbit in about five days.
The most frightening thing is that Hawk is now surviving on electronic devices. Although it is now completely hidden in the back of Mars, but no one can say, this Jupiter wind outbreak, how much impact will be caused to Hawk.
The first wave of crisis is considered to have escaped. Huo Ke heart is curiosity filled. Thinking about it, Hawk finally decided to squeeze out some more fuel from the few left to move the orbit and observe Jupiter.
Moving out from behind the huge shadow of Mars, Hawk turned the telescope and aimed at Jupiter.
Observing Jupiter from Mars' orbit, the naked eye alone can only see a point of light, not any detail. But the optical telescope that came with Hawk's spacecraft was specially optimized, plus the distance was now tens of millions of kilometers closer than on Earth, so the quality of the picture of Jupiter that Hawk obtained was not at all inferior to that of the Hubble telescope at the time.
Once again, Hawk was stunned.
The whole side of Jupiter facing the sun had turned dark red and seemed to be bleeding. There were countless violent cyclones raging in Jupiter, and even the orbits of the moons were affected.
Jupiter's rotation axis was tilted by this impact, a full three degrees more than before.
Hawk carefully observed this image, at the same time, all the observation equipment on the ship opened at the same time, trying their best to collect the information. This kind of data is too valuable, and has a very important reference role for Hawke's future technological development.
After an hour of observation, Hawke suddenly perceived a very important problem: "On the impact area of Jupiter, the nuclear fusion phenomenon occurred."
Hawk's heart tightened, and immediately stopped the rest of the irrelevant data computing, and put all the computing power on the analysis of this phenomenon.
Gradually, through the observation of Jupiter, Hawk's heart, the original not very perfect theory began to flesh out.
It was the theory of controlled nuclear fusion. The great nature, in her unique way, taught Hawk a lesson about controlled fusion through the event of the moon's impact on Jupiter.
Dating back to Einstein's e=mc^2, the most famous mass-energy formula, mankind began exploring nuclear energy early on, with the most notable example being the hydrogen bomb. However, hydrogen bombs are uncontrollable nuclear fusion, which can be used for weapons, but not for the rest. Want to make good use of nuclear energy, the great energy, we must find a way to control nuclear fusion.
As the scientific community, Hawk naturally have a deep study of this. But even he has not been able to solve this problem.
But now, through nature, the greatest teacher, Hawk felt that he, perhaps, can solve this problem.
The biggest problem facing controlled fusion is that there is no substance that can be used as a container to load the fusion reactor. Because the nuclear fusion, the temperature of tens of millions of hundreds of millions of degrees, any material known to mankind can not withstand this temperature.
So mankind has proposed two methods: the magnetic field confinement method and the inertial confinement method. Relying on magnetic field or inertia to restrain the nuclear fusion reactor, so that it can output energy to the outside world in a stable manner. However, the research of these two methods are still in the theoretical stage.
Hawk's main focus is the magnetic field confinement method.
Jupiter has a very powerful magnetic field. Jupiter's magnetic field constrains the fusion reactor that is exporting energy outward at the impact site in a stable manner.
This is the most concise, efficient way to teach. For example, if you don't know how to fold a paper airplane, and you are given a folded paper airplane that is not allowed to be disassembled, and you are asked to figure out how to fold it, you may find it very difficult to start.
But if there is a person, to show you once the paper airplane folding method, you may learn at once.
Nature then folded the paper airplane, Controlled Fusion, right in front of Hawk's face.
If Hawk still had eyes, Hawk's eyes must have turned red. If Hawk was still breathing, his breathing must be incomparably rapid now.
No one can appreciate the importance of controlled fusion better than Hawk.
With controlled fusion, it means that interstellar navigation is a possibility, and that energy can no longer be a shackle that restricts technological development.
"My dream of cosmic voyage, finally there is hope ah!" Hawk had an urge to cry.
Hawk had been observing for five days, gathering as much information as possible about controlled fusion. Then, before the arrival of the expected stream of energetic charged particles, he re-dodged to the back of Mars. With these observations, Hawk attacked the difficult problem of controlled fusion, it only became a matter of time, sooner or later.
"Build a huge cosmic fleet! Leave the solar system and conquer the galaxy!" Hawk's heart was roaring wildly with excitement.
Five hours after Hawk hid to the back of Mars, the stream of high-energy charged particles finally reached Mars' orbit. The result was undoubtedly catastrophic.
Even with the big shield of Mars, affected by the Jupiter wind, half of the equipment on top of Hawk's ship was instantly damaged, and the computing power of the central computer was reduced to thirty percent of its peak.
High-energy charged particle flow also has a strong stripping ability, while the magnetic field strength of Mars is simply negligible, that is, Mars in front of this powerful Jupiter wind almost no resistance.
Almost in an instant, the dirty atmosphere of Mars was almost completely stripped, and the lava raging around the surface of Mars was directly exposed to the cosmic space.
In the powerful and unparalleled Jupiter wind blowing, the whole Mars is turned into a huge and incomparable comet! It dragged a long comet tail in the direction of the sun, which carried countless meteorites, covering the whole of Hawk's small spaceship inside.
"Nima ah! Are you fucking kidding me?" Huo Ke saw this scene, under the big shock, couldn't help but cursed out loud.
The central computer's remaining 30 percent of computing power started up at full speed, the engines and radar equipment also turned on at full power, the energy consumption reached a point that made Hawk's heart drip blood.
In the darkness of space without a bit of light, Hawk manipulated the small ship nimbly around to dodge the meteorites flying around.
"I just got the most critical core technology of controlled fusion, a great future is waiting for me, how can I die at this time?"
This belief supported Hawk through the three days when the Jupiter wind was raging. When Hawk finally took a breath and did a full body self-examination of his small ship, a touch of bitterness surfaced on Hawk's heart.
"Damage, it's really too serious ah ..." Hawke sighed helplessly.
Jupiter wind dissipated, the comet tail of Mars also began to gradually fade. But this process is likely to last a long time. Hawk even speculated on the final end: the material of Mars' comet tail will gradually fall back to Mars' orbit, and then form a ring around Mars.
Mars is about to become the first solid planet in the solar system to have rings.
Looking at the Earth's orbit again, the few largest pieces of debris are not being blown toward the Sun by the Jupiter wind. This is a good sign, because if such a thing really happened, the troposphere of the solar system would be knocked out of a big hole, the inner material of the sun would erupt, and endless solar wind would sweep across the whole solar system. At that time, the solar system will definitely become the purgatory of purgatory, to that point, Hawk really can not imagine, how they have to do to find a way to live.
This Earth explosion as the beginning, the moon hit Jupiter as the climax of the prelude to the catastrophe has passed, at least, Jupiter's influence on the outside world has faded down, after that, will be a slow and far-reaching impact on the entire solar system.
The most important effects of this catastrophe will be on the inner rocky planets. The three gas giants beyond Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, were not affected much. Titan, which is of most concern to Hawk, also escaped the disaster because it was orbiting the back of Saturn at the time of the impact, and the original environment did not change too much.
Now there is a serious problem, that is, Hawk small spacecraft is not enough fuel.
Not only that, the entire hull of the ship has become broken and ragged, full of holes, and several modules have circuit short-circuit phenomenon. In order to prevent further damage, Hawk had to temporarily shut down the power supply of those modules. Material storage room was even directly broken, which stored spare parts, raw materials, etc. were lost without a trace. A large piece of the hull was also directly torn off. But fortunately, the positioning system is still functioning normally, gyroscope operation is not faulty, otherwise, Hawk really is to be lost in the vast universe.
"Could it be that I, a new human being in the new century, will be trapped in Mars orbit forever until the energy runs out and then die?" Hawk lamented in his heart.
Infinite energy is waiting for Hawk on Titan! As long as we can reach Titan, there is so much energy that even if Hawk takes it to make a planetary bomb, he will not be able to use it up.
Hawk began to think nervously. Thinking about how to leave the orbit of Mars, how to go to Titan.
