Chapter 905 The Mystery of Olorun
When Ogun II was discovered, it was passing through the Oort Cloud. Its trajectory only passed through the outer edge of the Oort Cloud. According to computer calculations, its orbit may be disturbed by the gravity of the solar system, so it forms a small arc in the Oort Cloud. It will not really enter the core of the solar system, but pass by a place hundreds of thousands of miles away from the orbit of Neptune...
No. Although "hundreds of thousands of miles" is used to describe "extremely far" in daily contexts, in the scale of the universe, the so-called "hundreds of thousands of miles" is very small.
The trajectory of Ogun II is at least hundreds of thousands of astronomical units away from the orbit of Pluto.
After passing the edge of the solar system, it will go to the unknown again.
And apart from the Speedy King Court, there is no other aircraft that can conveniently recover this thing.
However, for the Speedy King Court, "how to recover" is also a difficulty.
It's not that "can't catch up" or something like that.
In fact, the biggest difficulty for the Speedy King Court to recover Ogun II is...
Ogun II is too soft and weak.
Using the Speedy Court to intercept and drag Ogun II is equivalent to using the sixth-generation aircraft of the Chivalrous War to drag a World War I military hot air balloon, and the gap may be even greater.
If the Speedy Court drags Ogun II forward, Ogun II will be torn apart immediately by the acceleration of the Speedy Court. Even if Ogun II is broken into large pieces and fixed on the Speedy Court, Ogun II will still be crushed during the acceleration phase of the Speedy Court.
And many of the existing deceleration technologies of mankind cannot be directly applied to Ogun II. For example, the powerful hull of the Speedy Court relies on the special magnetic field surrounding the overall frame to quickly share the pressure to the whole. The alloys that can do this have corresponding requirements in terms of magnetism, and not all materials can be completed. Modern human aircraft are basically designed based on this.
Of course, these are all minor problems, and there are many ways to end them. For example, if the shear resistance is insufficient, the volume can be reduced by cutting. If it is still not enough, use gel protection, etc.
For the Speedy Court, the most troublesome part is "decelerating to the speed of Ogun II and keeping relatively still with Ogun II".
The Speedy Court did decelerate and release cargo at the edge of the solar system before, and then the cargo hold used rockets to decelerate. But the Speedy Court rarely decelerated to the level of Ogun II. The current Speedy Court is essentially a test aircraft, and its fuel reserves are still a "need to be broken through" project.
If the Speedy Court consumes a lot of fuel to decelerate to the level of Ogun II at the edge of the solar system, it will be difficult for it to break through the knight positions around Saturn and Uranus at the highest speed.
The Speedy Court has always relied on speed advantage and small irregular changes to avoid interception. Many knights have tried to snipe the Speedy Court by "predicting the orbit in advance". But the Speedy King's driving level is really extraordinary.
Moreover, the most terrifying thing about the Speedy Court is here. Even if the Speedy Court is severely damaged, it is still a massive object with a speed exceeding 10% of the speed of light. If the driver judges that "the situation is irreversible", it can instantly transform into a god of destruction, destroying an entire row of giant space buildings, and even smashing the industrial base on the gas giant planet. At least the attacker will definitely not escape this last trick.
The risk of attacking the Speedy Court at full speed is too great, so the knights have never made up their minds to organize a siege.
However, if the Speedy Court consumes too much fuel to slow down and cannot reach full speed on the return journey, the knights will definitely not be polite to them.
Of course, the solution to this problem is also very simple.
The Speedy Court only needs to go back and forth several times and drop fuel at the predetermined location each time, and that's enough.
The fuel tank will intersect with the orbit of Ogun II in a few years.
The Speedy Court also sent the first batch of scientific research knights up in this way.
Su Zhang is one of them. After becoming a scientific research knight of the Speedy Court, he was immediately sent to Ogun II for research, and then stayed there for a while until he returned recently.
The performance of Ogun II almost overturned many human conjectures about the Olorun civilization.
The reactor structure and size of Ogun I and II are exactly the same, and the uranium content of their fuel blocks is mostly the same. According to the half-life identification of the uranium fuel blocks of Ogun I and II, the launch year difference between Ogun I and Ogun II is definitely within 100 years, and it is even possible that they were built at the same time.
In this way, the statement that "Olorun civilization is highly similar to old human civilization" is very questionable.
The old human civilization would go bankrupt if it wanted to build a spacecraft like Ogun, let alone two.
If the Olorun people really just wanted to spread their genetic information, there was no need to throw two spacecraft in the same direction. They might have built more Oguns, flying in all directions, and then the earth happened to get two.
Of course, there is also another hypothesis proposed by the Scientific Knights, that the destinations of Ogun 1 and 2 may be Venus. When the Olorun civilization observed the solar system, it inferred that Venus was most likely their habitable zone, so in order to ensure the successful arrival of genetic information, they released Ogun 2.
Ogun 1 and 2 were indeed built at the same time.
This can also be seen from the technology used in Ogun 1 and 2.
There is almost no difference between Ogun 1 and 2.
Even the results of the comparison of the stone tablets are highly consistent.
Well, indeed, three hundred years ago, King Zheng Tian and Wu Zu had mentioned the hypothesis that "maybe this is the upper limit of cosmic science and technology" when they were young.
But no one has mentioned this conjecture now.
The reason is simple. Human technology has left Ogun far behind.
The technological level when Olorun launched Ogun was obviously not the upper limit of the universe.
In other words, the resource level of the Olorun people's home planet is mostly extremely rich, and because it is close to the star, it is easier to obtain energy.
But another problem arises.
Since the home planet of the Olorun civilization is so excellent, why didn't they develop?
In the direction from which Olorun No. 1 and No. 2 came, humans have carefully observed all the stars within 10,000 light years. Among these stars, none of them can observe Dyson cloud structures similar to the throne, nor do they have giant space structures that look unnatural.
Olorun No. 1 and No. 2 may have been sailing for tens of millions of years. If lucky, humans should be able to see what the Olorun civilization looked like a thousand or ten thousand years ago. If the Olorun civilization had not perished, it should have developed for millions of years.
But apart from Ogun, humans have not seen any evidence to prove its existence.
