I met unscrupulous teammates at the beginning, watch me turn the tide

With Shen Bei's limited knowledge, or as common sense, he still knew what things had a mass of 0.

Photons.

That’s right, photons at the speed of light.

Theoretically speaking, the reason why the speed of light is so fast is because the mass of a photon is 0, or infinitely close to 0.

This is also why the speed of light cannot be exceeded, because humans cannot create something with zero mass...

Not to mention spaceships.

Shen Bei asked tentatively: "The Doomsday-class starship and the Shadow Immortal have such a large size and capacity, so can they also have a mass of 0?"

Lingxi Zhiling replied, "The data shows that as long as there is sufficient energy, this is not a problem. It is a necessary and common function, just like the cars of the old times that could run at 300 kilometers per hour. It can be done."

Shen Bei: ...

Shen Bei took a deep breath. This metaphor was just right.

Not all cars can go 300 mph.

But 300 mph is not the ceiling of car speed. As long as you are willing to spend money, there are many cars that can exceed 300 mph.

The same is true for spaceships. Not all spaceships can fly faster than the speed of light, but the top spaceships can do it easily.

But this involves a problem that Shen Bei dare not imagine: energy.

How much energy would be needed to reduce the mass of a spacecraft to zero?

Relying on the crystal core? Even if we kill all the ferocious beasts on Earth and dig out their brain cores, I'm afraid they won't be able to last for even a second, right?

Shen Bei couldn't help but ask: "Energy, what kind of energy is used to maintain such a huge output?"

Lingxi Zhiling replied: "The most convenient energy source is naturally solar energy."

"You're kidding me?"

The corners of Shen Bei's mouth twitched.

It’s hard to imagine what a weird scene it would be if the entire spacecraft was covered with solar panels.

If you don’t know, you might think that the old-fashioned photovoltaic industry has gone to the countryside.

Shen Bei shook his head and spoke again: "That's simply nonsense. The solar power is too small to sustain such a huge energy output."

Lingxi Zhiling quickly replied: "This solar energy is not the old-fashioned way of collecting energy with solar panels."

"Instead, it creates a black hole that actively absorbs solar energy."

Shen Bei: ???

what?

What did you hear?

Make, create a black hole?

hiss!

Shen Bei's head exploded.

Are deep space lifeforms so wild? What kind of unique skill is this?

Shen Bei choked up and asked speechlessly, "Are you sure?"

"Both the World-Destroying Starship and the Shadow Immortal possess this technology. Of course, this isn't their only way to fly faster than the speed of light, but it is the only way to avoid areas where the rules change."

"Then... can you explain to me how to create a black hole?"

"OK……"

Lingxi Zhiling explains the principles and processes of using "black holes" to absorb sunlight and "solar energy" from the shallow to the deep, step by step.

Shen Bei didn't quite understand what he heard.

There are too many theories mixed in it, at least to Shen Bei, they sound very mysterious.

Or rather, I don't understand it at all.

However, I have a general understanding of it.

In simple terms.

The purpose of creating a black hole is to absorb solar energy!

Even astronomy novices know that black holes swallow everything, not even light can escape.

There will be large-scale distortions around the black hole.

This distortion not only distorts time and space, but also distorts light.

That is to say, suppose there is a black hole with an area of ​​1 square.

After distorting space and time, it can capture sunlight over an area of ​​up to "millions of square meters!"

You can imagine carrying around a solar cell the size of Egypt in ancient times...

Moreover, photons cannot escape and must be absorbed 100%.

If there were ten black holes like this... their main area would only be 10 square meters.

However, the area that can absorb light is as large as the land area of ​​China in the old times.

Such a huge energy absorption is so powerful that it is terrifying and makes people's scalp tingle.

The basic "black hole" that wants to achieve this "almost continuously free energy"
