Chapter 355: Kagang Tuya

After arriving near the wormhole, the Eternal Night spacecraft passed through several days of orbit and posture adjustment.

"All staff please take their seats. In ten minutes, the Eternal Night spacecraft will pass through the wormhole."

"The No. 10 position adjustment engine starts..."

"The No. 2 investment-raising engine started..."

"The No. 5 investment-added engine starts..."

The Eternal Night spacecraft slowly turned its huge hull and aimed its bow at a wormhole a hundred thousand kilometers away.

"Be careful to maintain the output power..."

"The posture is good, you can start the main engine..."

"Eternal Night... Advance three..."

A blue-purple light emitted from the tail of the Hall thruster, ejecting high-speed plasma flow behind it. The spacecraft began to start at full power and entered an acceleration state.

"One hundred thousand kilometers away from the wormhole!"

"Fifty thousand kilometers."

"Ten thousand kilometers."

"One thousand kilometers."

"Ten kilometers."

“Contact countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one…”

Pang Xuelin and his team are located in front of one-third of the Eternal Night spindle thruster.

Therefore, they could clearly see that the moment the bow of the Eternal Night comes into contact with the wormhole, the dark space on the surface of the wormhole was thrown into a stone like a calm water surface, emitting circles of ripples.

But this kind of scene lasted for less than two seconds in Pang Xuelin and the others' eyes, and then they plunged into this bizarre world.

The soft white light emitted by the lights in the spacecraft was suddenly broken down into colorful colors.

The space around the bridge created layers of ghosting, and all the equipment in the spacecraft gave him a huge sense of depth and inclusiveness.

Although Pang Xuelin has already felt the depth brought by the infinite space in the high-dimensional space inside the wormhole, he still feels like a dream when experiencing this scene again.

This was even more so for Murphy, Billy, Little Brand and others. They each fixed themselves firmly in the seat and looked at everything around them in horror.

Fortunately, the process lasted only a few minutes.

It is much shorter than when Pang Xuelin traveled through a wormhole in a lifesaving pod.

As the spacecraft hull shook slightly, the colorful lights instantly dissipated, and the objects in the spacecraft that showed endless depth seemed to be dominated by some force and instantly returned to their original state.

Outside the porthole, a golden light came through and shone on the podium.

Pang Xuelin untied the safety belt on his body and took the lead in front of the porthole.

Murphy, Billy, Eymond and others came behind him one after another.

"My God!"

Dr. Mann couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest, looking at the black hole that was emitting hot light radiation into the universe in the distance, and exclaimed.

"Kagantuya!"

Murphy said on the side.

Pang Xuelin nodded, and what appeared in front of them was a super-large black hole composed of black hole body, light, accretion disk, etc.

The black part in the middle is the shadow of the black hole, about twice the horizon.

A circle of thin light outside is the photon circle of black holes.

The huge accretion disk rotates around the black hole. The accretion disk is composed of various materials and gases that rotate at high speeds and slowly fall to the black hole. It becomes extremely bright due to strong collisions and radiation.

The accretion disk above the black hole looks larger and brighter than below.

Pang Xuelin knew that above the black hole is actually the distal end of the accretion disk, and below is the bottom of the distal end of the accretion disk. The gravitational field of the black hole distorts the light propagation path, which leads to such a strange phenomenon.

The SAFE had already launched a detector to the world before, and finally concluded that the mass of this black hole is equivalent to 100 million times the mass of the sun, and its horizon radius reaches 295 million kilometers.

You should know that an astronomical unit, that is, the distance between the earth and the sun is about 150 million kilometers, and the radius of the horizon of this black hole is equivalent to two astronomical units. From this, imagine how huge this black hole is.

At least in Pang Xuelin's impression, the A-black hole in Glacial Sagittarius is only more than 40 million times the mass of the sun.

Only the black hole in the core of Andromeda Nebula has such volume and mass.

But the Kagantuya in front of her is definitely not the black hole in the Andromeda Nebula.

The reason is very simple. On a clear night on the earth, in places where light pollution is not serious, we can see stars everywhere when we look up. Most of them are stars relatively close to the solar system. The closest one is Proxima Centauri, about 4.22 light years, the second double star of the South Gate (with Proxima Centauri is a triple star system) is about 4.37 light years, Barnard is about 6 light years away from us, and Sirius is about 8.7 light years away from us. Such stars are not sparse in density, but if compared with the position of the galactic center, it is far worse.

If we calculate the number of stars per cubic light-year, there are only about 0.004 stars in the space per cubic light-year near the sun. It is usually believed that the density of stars in the globular cluster is relatively high, and the density of stars there is about 2 stars per cubic light-year, which is equivalent to 500 times the density of stars in the space near the sun.

However, the density around the center of the Milky Way is higher than this. Astronomers observed and found that there are as many as 42 million stars in the space of the length, width and height of the Milky Way, one second (3.26 light years), or the density of stars there is as high as 289,000 stars per cubic light year, which is 72 million times higher than the density of stars near the solar system.

Under such star density, if the earth is near the center of the galactic center, we can probably see millions of stars brighter than Sirius, with the brightness of the night almost the same as the sun shining during the day.

If it is the Andromeda m31 black hole, it will be even more exaggerated.

But there was no such scene in front of me.

The Eternal Night spacecraft is at least 10 billion kilometers away from Kagantuya. Pang Xuelin can clearly observe the sparse starry sky around Kagantuya, which is far from the stellar density as imagined.

Near Kagantuya, the only things that can be observed are a dark red planet in the distance, the size of a ping-pong ball, and another main sequence star similar to the sun.

These two stars, together with Kagantuya, form a Samsung system.

However, because Kagantuya's mass is too large, these two stars are like ordinary planets, moving around Kagantuya in a circular motion.

"Okay, everyone is back to their respective posts, releases the detection satellites, and conducts full-scale exploration of the galaxy we are in."

"clear!"

With the order of Pang Xuelin, everyone in the spacecraft entered an unprecedented busy state, especially the visible light telescope and radio telescope carried with the ship on "Eternal Night", which even conducted large-scale observations of Kagantuya and the main nearby galaxies.
