v4 Chapter 869： The key to signal threats: the speed of light

After the strategy meeting was over, Fang Yuan went to Zhou Wensheng alone again and asked about the continent plate of the beast planet.

As long as the content of geology is discussed, Zhou Wensheng will answer endlessly: "After the study of geological structure, and the analysis of fossils...

"It can be preliminarily inferred that 40 million years ago, the average altitude of the Secco plate where the main nest of Star Beast civilization was not as high as it is now.

"Forty million years ago, as the SECCO plate and the Cross plate slowly approached, the two plates squeezed each other.

"Eventually the eastern part of the SECCO plate was upturned to form a mountain range, while the western part of the Cross plate sank slightly. The jagged rocks protruded under the SECCO plate like an arm, supporting the SECCO plate like an arm. lift it up.

"After 40 million years of crustal movement, the two plates are now slowly separating and the Cross plate is moving eastward.

"Causing the SECCO plate to sink slowly, but the sinking speed is very slow, at a rate of 1.37 cm per year, it will take at least several million years to complete this plate movement."

Fang Yuan pondered and asked: "If the SECCO plate is blown up, how far will it sink in the end?"

This issue is also critical.

Because the continental plate cannot sink indefinitely, it will inevitably stop if it sinks to a certain extent.

Therefore, the extent to which the SECCO plate will sink will also determine the ultimate effect of this "continental plate sinking plan."

"According to the results of the analysis, the eastern section of the Secco plate will sink more than five kilometers, and the location of the main nest of the star beast civilization will be submerged by magma. It will also be accompanied by violent crustal movements such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions." Zhou Wensheng replied.

Five kilometers, this value does not seem to be very large.

However, a land plate on a planet sinks five kilometers, which is very exaggerated.

Of course, only the eastern section of the SECCO plate sinks five kilometers, and the western section will not sink so much.

The location of the main nest of Star Beast Civilization happens to be close to the east section, so after the Secco plate sinks, it will be submerged by magma.

In the early disaster of the sinking of the continental plate of the Star Beast Civilization, the entire Secco plate sank, not only the underground world was attacked by magma, but the collapse of the underground cave would also deal a heavy blow to the Star Beast.

According to the estimation of the staff, the sinking of the Secco plate will eliminate 70% of the star beasts on the plate.

The more low-level star beasts die, the more the low-level star beasts on the Secco plate are basically wiped out.

...

After several strategic meetings, the implementation plan of the "Secco Continental Plate Sinking Plan" was finally set.

In addition to the three most important support arms of the Cross plate that need to be broken off, there are also seven volcanoes in the eastern mountains of the Secco plate that need to be "unblocked."

It is necessary to ensure that when the SECCO plate sinks, these volcanoes can erupt with maximum force and accelerate the sinking of the continental plate.

Therefore, the total number of locations requiring blasting has increased to ten.

However, the blasting of volcanoes is relatively simple. Don’t be too many active volcanoes. Even if blasting is not carried out, they will erupt when the crust is moving.

Of course, targeted blasting of these active volcanoes can make the eruption more violent. This has a positive impact on the entire plan, so it is worth doing.

...

After the "continental plate sinking plan" was determined, the front-line headquarters began to mobilize large-yield nuclear bombs, ready to launch this infrastructure project to sink a continent at any time.

However, there is one problem that has not been resolved.

That is Ralph [Biqugexx.biz] Cook's signal threat.

If this problem cannot be solved, then the day when the SECCO Continental Plate sinks is the moment when the Star Beast Civilization sends a threat signal.

At that time, the spacecraft of the Purger civilization will return, and humans will be destroyed together with the star beast civilization.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to prevent the star beast civilization from emitting threat signals.

The General Staff has been discussing countermeasures to solve this problem, and at the same time communicating with other human countries to jointly find countermeasures.

In response to threat signals, there is no need to keep other human nations secret.

Because, as long as it is a normal person, they want to prevent the star beast civilization from emitting threat signals, and it is abnormal if they don't think about solutions.

"If the star beast civilization emits a threat signal, what will happen?"

After Admiral Rhodes arranged the "plan for the sinking of the continental plate", he had time to look back and ask about Ralph's threat signal.

Regarding what may happen after the threat signal is launched, the General Staff has analyzed and summarized various possibilities.

"According to the information now known, the cleaner of the cleaner civilization should have passed through the solar system sixty years ago..."

A military staff member reported on behalf of the staff: "In other words, this purifier has been out of the solar system for 60 years.

"Assuming that the washer is flying at the speed of light on patrol, then the washer should now be somewhere within 60 light-years of the solar system.

"Of course, it may be 60 light-years away from the star beast planet.

"Sixty light years, it seems very far away, but in the eyes of higher civilizations, it is actually very close.

"Because the distance between the earth and the star beast planet is 1,056 light years.

"Sixty light years, not even a fraction of the distance from the earth to the star beast planet.

"Therefore, we can think that this purger is actually very close to us."

This conclusion is suffocating.

Obviously there is a distance of sixty light-years, but it is very close.

At this distance, it is almost impossible for humans to find this washer, but this washer can return to the solar system in a very short time if he wants to.

At this moment.

Han Youwei thought of a key and raised her hand and said, "If this purger is 60 light years away from us, then Ralph Cook will send a threat signal.

"Then the signal travels at the speed of light, and it will take at least sixty years for the cleaner to receive it. This is still on the premise that the cleaner stays in place."

The military staff nodded and said: "Yes, it is true. However, the above speculations are based on the assumption that the cleaners patrol at the speed of light.

"In fact, we don't know where the washer is. Maybe he is flying at the speed of light, maybe he is staying in the solar system or a nearby star system.

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the location of this washer is that he can return to the solar system within twenty years to determine the location of the'cleansing' effect."

Fang Yuan looked at Han Youwei on the side, smiled at each other, and said, "In this way, the location of the purifier directly determines whether Ralph Cook's threat can be established.

"If the washer is more than 20 light-years away from the solar system, then his so-called threat does not exist at all, because the washer will definitely return to Earth within 20 years.

"In other words, the so-called threat of Ralph Cook requires the signal he transmits, and it must be received by the cleaner within twenty years, otherwise the signal he transmits will have no meaning."

This makes the so-called threat of Ralph Cook a gamble.

The bet is how far the Purger is from the solar system, and within 20 light years, the threat is established.

For more than twenty light years, the threat was not established.

Because of the signal emitted by level 1.0 civilization, the speed limit is the speed of light.
