“Please trust us!”
The researchers simultaneously patted their chests in assurance.
“Fine…”
Placing his trust in the professionals, Chen Yu hesitantly manipulated the Interstellar Portal and moved it forward by another 5,000 kilometers.
Buzz!
The next moment, the orange indicator suddenly turned red!
Chen Yu: “…”
[It’s red! It’s red!]
[UP, stop messing around. You’ve done enough…]
[Crap! Young man, are you playing with your life? Crap!]
[Is it possible to measure the singularity’s data from this distance?]
[There are only a little more than 4,000 kilometers to the black hole, damn…]
[Let’s take a look at the black hole together? The kind that collapses into atoms?]
Turning around, Chen Yu stared at the researchers in a daze.
The researchers also stared at him in a daze.
“…”
“…”
For a moment, an awkward silence filled the hall.
“This distance…” After a long silence, Chen Yu asked, “Is it really alright?”
“It should be…” a male researcher said before looking at the female researcher beside him.
“Maybe…” the female researcher said before she looked at another researcher.
“Probably…” the third researcher said as he looked at his group leader.
“I think…” the group leader said before turning to look at the person in charge of this operation.
“…It should be fine, right?” the person in charge said as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.
“I want an accurate answer!!”
“We’ll know if you try it!” x14
“You guys just want more data, right?!” Chen Yu roared.
“Mhm, mhm.” x14
“Dammit! You actually admitted without hesitation.”
After pondering for a while, Chen Yu picked up the sixth rock and threw it into the portal without another word.
Crack… Crack…
The rock that was originally half a diameter in size was instantly torn apart and dragged through the spatial film by the terrifying gravity…
Chen Yu: “…”
“Quick! Quickly calculate!”
“Little Zhang, come to my group to calculate the gravity.”
“I’ve simulated the model.”
“Quick! Send it over here!”
The researchers grew excited once more, and they began whispering among themselves as they conducted their respective calculations.
One minute later…
“The gravitational acceleration is 2882.31 meters per second!”
“The distance is 4,154,681 meters.”
“The escape velocity is 154,658.29 meters per second…”
“We have enough data!”
The person in charge strode toward a laptop and quickly entered all the data he received…
A moment later, groups of data appeared on the screen one after another. At the same time, the computer’s heat dissipation system automatically ramped up to the maximum.
One second.
Five seconds.
Seventeen seconds…
The body of the person in charge suddenly shook.
“I-It’s out…”
Chen Yu curiously stepped forward at this mention, and when he laid eyes on the dozens of rows of data before him, he could not help but be stunned.
…
[Schwarzschild radius: 1.443m]
[Black hole’s diameter: 9cm]
[Black hole’s mass: 7.45625332E+26]
[Black hole’s core gravitational acceleration: 1.990102949E+18 m/s^2]
[Black hole’s core escape velocity: 1410710087.15 m/s]
[Black hole’s horizon: 1.311m]
[Black hole’s core density…]
[Singularity…]
[…]
…
The data list seemed to extend infinitely, and Chen Yu could not help but be dazzled by all the information. However, he quickly resisted the numbness of his scalp and continued reading.
After all, every set of data here represented a major breakthrough in physics!
In such a way, humanity had bypassed gaseous planets, stars, supergiant stars, and neutron stars, directly obtaining real data of a black hole…
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that humanity’s originally fading technology boom would continue extending from this moment onward! Moreover, the speed of technological development might even double!
[Please redirect the camera, thank you.]
[Is it the black hole’s detailed data? I want to see it too!]
[Don’t even think about it. The public can’t see such information at this stage.]
[I’m confused. What’s the point of studying a black hole?]
[Just thinking about it scares me. The Earth has the moon to drive the tides, and the moon also has numerous vital elements on its surface. Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune are also there to help stabilize Earth’s orbit. And not only does the Earth have a single star to support it, but it even has two gaseous planets to supply it with an inexhaustible supply of energy. Now, there is also this primordial black hole that poses minimal danger yet has the greatest research value out of all celestial bodies…]
[This is the start of human civilization’s dream!]
[Scientists have long since suspected that the Milky Way galaxy is composed of mostly binary star systems. Single star systems like the Solar System are small in number. The Solar System even has eight planets in the right position. Not to mention, all the necessary elements for technological development are present in the Solar System. This is too much of a coincidence.]
[Moreover, there is the Proxima Centauri four light-years away. There are very few star systems so close to each other, even in the Orion Arm.]
[It frankly scares me now that I’ve thought more in-depth into the matter…]
After quickly reading through the data, Chen Yu shook his head regretfully.
They had failed to analyze the last and most crucial piece of data.
According to his knowledge, if they wanted to get this data, they would have to go deep into the black hole’s horizon.
However, upon entering the black hole’s horizon, even light, which traveled at over 300,000 kilometers per second, could not escape…
“M-Mr. King, can you continue moving forward?” the person in charge asked excitedly as he looked at Chen Yu. Raising a finger, he said, “A thousand kilometers! Just move forward by another thousand kilometers! We need to see the data there!”
“Okay.”
Chen Yu accepted the middle-aged man’s request. Without hesitation, he disconnected the spatial link and readjusted the coordinates.
Buzz!
The instant he tried to establish the spatial link, however, the Interstellar Portal’s warning indicator lit up with a “black” light, and the portal forcefully shut itself down.
“…The gravitational force is too strong,” Chen Yu said as he looked at the person in charge. He then looked to the camera and shrugged to his eight million viewers, “The spatial distortion caused by the massive gravitational force is preventing us from locating the space there.”
“Hah…” The person in charge sighed regretfully as he stared at the metal arch.
“That’s it for today.” Reaching out, Chen Yu reactivated the Interstellar Portal. “You’ve obtained your data, and we can’t advance any further forward. So, now, help me calculate how close I can get to the black hole without getting sucked in.”
“Okay! We’ll calculate it for you right away!”
Now that the researchers already had the black hole’s data model, all they needed to do was enter Chen Yu’s protective suit’s average speed to find out the safe distance.
“Seven thousand kilometers!” a female researcher said with her hand raised. “At a distance of 7,000 kilometers, the black hole’s gravitational acceleration is 1015.36 meters per second. So long as your speed exceeds this value, you’ll be safe. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise, what?” Chen Yu asked.
“You’ll fall into the black hole at an increasingly faster speed until you are infinitely close to reaching the speed of light. According to the no-hair theorem, all information of your existence will disappear, leaving only mass, angular momentum, and electric charge.”
“Huh?” Noticing a problem, Chen Yu asked, “According to your data, the black hole’s core gravitational acceleration can reach hundreds of millions of kilometers per second. Isn’t this much faster than the speed of light?”
“B-But you will never reach the core. You will stop at about one…one meter away from the black hole’s horizon,” the female researcher said, slurring her words near the end. She had very nearly blurted out the exact value of 1.311 meters to the public.
“I understand.”
Chen Yu didn’t ask any more questions. Sliding his finger across the virtual projection, he established a spatial link 7,000 kilometers away from the black hole.
Buzz!
The space within the metal arch fluctuated for an instant, revealing a dark world inside in the next moment.
“Mr. King, you don’t have to go out. We have already confirmed the black hole’s existence.”
“It doesn’t matter. After all is said and done, I am an independent reviewer.” Pointing his index finger at his temple, Chen Yu said, “My main duty is to let my audience witness sceneries and magic. I want to let everyone see the black hole with their own eyes.”
“B-But this black hole has no accretion disk. It is invisible to the naked eye,” the person in charge hesitantly said.
“We can!” Chen Yu said, shaking his head. After putting on his glove, he stepped through the portal while saying, “I have a way…
“To let you see the black hole…”
