Chapter 869 The Key to the Signal Threat: The Speed of Light

After the strategy meeting, Fang Yuan went to Zhou Wensheng alone to ask about the continental plate of the beast planet.

As long as the conversation is about geology, Zhou Wensheng will answer eloquently: "After studying the geological structure and analyzing the fossils...

"It can be preliminarily speculated that 40 million years ago, the average altitude of the Secco plate where the main lair of the star beast civilization was located was not as high as it is now.

"Forty million years ago, as the Secco and Clos plates slowly moved closer together, the two plates squeezed against each other.

"Eventually the eastern part of the Secco plate was upturned, forming mountains, while the western part of the Cross plate was slightly subsided, and the jagged rocks stretched into the bottom of 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.

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

Fang Yuan thought about it and asked: "If you blow up the Secco plate, how far will it sink in the end?"

This question is also critical.

Because the continental plate cannot sink infinitely, and it will inevitably stop when it sinks to a certain extent.

Therefore, the extent to which the Secco plate will sink will also determine the final 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 where the main nest of the star beast civilization is located 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 sinking of five kilometers on a planet's land plates would be an exaggeration.

Of course, only the eastern section of the Secco plate sank five kilometers, and the western section did not sink so much.

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

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

According to the estimates of the Ministry of Staff,

The sinking of the Cyco board will wipe out 70% of the star beasts on the board.

The lower the level of star beasts, the more they died. Basically, all the low-level star beasts on the Seiko plate were wiped out.

...

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

In addition to the need to blow up the three most important supporting arms of the Cross plate, there are seven volcanoes in the eastern mountains of the Secco plate that need to be "dredged".

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 that need to be blasted has increased to ten.

However, the blasting of volcanoes is relatively simple, not to mention the few active volcanoes, even if there is no blasting, they will erupt when the earth's crust moves.

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

...

After the "Continental Plate Sinking Plan" was determined, the frontline headquarters began to mobilize large-yield nuclear bombs, ready to launch this infrastructure project to sink a continent at any time.

However, there is still one problem that remains unresolved.

That's Ralph 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 spaceship of the Cleanser civilization will return, and human beings will be destroyed together with the star beast civilization.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to prevent the star beast civilization from sending out threatening signals.

The staff department has been discussing the countermeasures to solve this problem, and at the same time communicated with other human countries to jointly find countermeasures.

The matter of corresponding to the threat signal does not need to be kept secret from other human nations.

Because, as long as it is a normal person, it is abnormal to want to prevent the star beast civilization from sending out threatening signals, and not to think about the solution.

"What will happen if the star beast civilization sends a threat signal?"

After Admiral Rhodes arranged the "Continental Plate Sinking Plan", he had time to go back and ask Ralph about the threat signal.

Regarding what might happen after the threat signal is sent out, the staff has analyzed and concluded many possibilities.

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

A military staff officer reported on behalf of the staff department: "In other words, this Cleaner has left the solar system for sixty years.

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

"Of course, it may also be sixty light-years away from the Star Beast planet.

"Sixty light years may seem far away, but in the eyes of advanced civilizations, it is actually very close.

"Because the distance between the earth and the star beast planet is 1056 light years.

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

"Therefore, we can assume that the purge was actually very close to us."

This conclusion is stifling.

Although there are sixty light-years away, it is very close.

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

At this moment.

Han Youwei thought of a key point, raised her hand and said, "If the Cleaner is sixty light-years away from us, then Ralph Cook will immediately send out a threat signal.

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

The military staff officer nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. However, the above speculations are all based on the assumption that the Cleaners patrol at the speed of light.

"Actually, we don't know where the Cleaner 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 cleanser is where he can return to the solar system within twenty years to determine the effect of the 'cleaning'."

Fang Yuan looked at Han Youwei at the side, smiled at each other, and said: "In other words, the position of the purger directly determines whether Ralph Cook's threat can be established.

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

"In other words, Ralph Cook's so-called threat requires that the signal he sends must be received by the Cleaners within twenty years, otherwise the signal he sends will be meaningless."

That makes Ralph Cook's so-called threat a gamble.

The bet is how far the Cleaner is from the solar system, within twenty light years, the threat is established.

Beyond twenty light-years, the threat does not hold.

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