Reverse Tide
Reverse Tide are an extremely dangerous phenomenon in Reverse Space. If Reverse Space is considered an ocean, then Reverse Tide are undoubtedly tsunamis. And each planet is merely a small fish in that ocean. Therefore, every Reverse Tide brings almost devastating destruction.
Each Reverse Tide in Reverse Space causes massive displacement and destruction of various celestial bodies. The gravity that maintains galactic stability is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot during Reverse Tide; it is instantly torn to shreds. Moreover, after each Reverse Tide, it takes a long time for the new galaxy to reform and take shape again.
Humans are even more insignificant in the Reverse Tide, which contains vast amounts of spatial energy capable of instantly tearing most life forms to shreds. Only those with extremely strong physical bodies can survive, but even they will be swept away by the Reverse Tide and carried to distant places. Even celestial-level powerhouses will choose to avoid it.
"This area with the Reverse Space is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government. If Reverse Tide occurs, they should notify us in advance, right?"
As a businessman, Fa Te had dealt with the Federal Government quite a bit over the years and had heard about this kind of thing.
"It won't be that fast. The Federal Government's early warning mechanism has a process, and before implementing the process, they must confirm that the tremor will indeed cause Reverse Tide and that there will be no false alarms." Sea Emperor was very familiar with the Federal Government's work process.
"Can we determine the intensity and direction of this Reverse Tide now?" Gu Ding asked the Sea Emperor.
"The turbulence is still in its early stages. It's uncertain yet, but hopefully it's not Reverse Tide of force 10 or higher, otherwise it will be very troublesome." The Sea Emperor was also somewhat worried about this.
The intensity of the Reverse Tide is usually divided into twelve levels.
Levels one to three are generally harmless, only creating ordinary countercurrents. As long as the spaceship is strong enough and has sufficient energy, it won't be greatly affected. It will just be like being in a river flowing backwards, being slowed down considerably.
At Reverse Tide four to six, most spaceships would need to avoid them, as their propulsion systems are insufficient to withstand the force of such Reverse Tide. They would be unable to move forward.
Reverse Tide of magnitude seven to nine are extremely dangerous, as their immense energy is enough to disrupt the trajectories of various celestial bodies. Spaceships must avoid the impact range of these Reverse Tide to ensure their safety.
Reverse Tide of force ten or higher have even stronger impact energy, and their range covers at least one-third of the entire Reverse Space. Especially Reverse Tide; once it arrives, the entire Reverse Space will tremble. No place is safe.
"The eruption speed of the Reverse Tide is very fast. Once it has been brewing, the energy will accumulate to its peak and then erupt rapidly. If it is a large-scale Reverse Tide, it will be too late to take shelter by the time the Federal Government notifies us. Therefore, regardless of the level, intensity and direction of the Reverse Tide, we should react as soon as possible. Because Reverse Tide of level seven or above will seriously hinder our journey," Miko also gave her advice.
"Miko right. Based on our spaceship's power intensity, if we encounter Reverse Tide of force eight or higher, the spaceship will lose control. We'll be left to drift with the current, and we don't know where we'll be swept away by the Reverse Tide," Robert said, giving his calculations.
"But we don't even know the direction of the Reverse Tide, so how can we find a way around it?" Gu Ding, expressing his doubts.
"Without knowing the direction of the Reverse Tide, there's naturally no way to detour, but what we need to do is not detour," Sea Emperor explained. "We just need to find a supermassive Black Hole to hide in. This way, the spaceship can largely avoid being directly impacted by the energy of the Reverse Tide. Under the Black Hole's suction, the spaceship can avoid 99% or even more of the impact, minimizing the damage."
"The Reverse Tide has no effect on the Black Hole?" Gu Ding had never heard of such a thing before.
"Ordinary Black Hole certainly won't work; when the Reverse Tide is strong enough, it can tear Black Hole apart. But Black Hole with a sufficiently large mass cannot be torn apart; at most, they will only be displaced to a certain extent, which is much better than the spaceship bearing the impact alone," Sea Emperor continued to explain.
"Three hundred and twenty light-years away, there is a supermassive Black Hole. According to my calculations, it is the largest Black Hole we can reach before the Reverse Tide eruption." Sea Emperor said, looking at Gu Ding. "Whether you want to go or not is up to you."
"Let's change course and set off. It seems to be the safest way right now." For decisions requiring expertise, Gu Ding generally wouldn't object to the Sea Emperor and his crew. After all, the opinions of professionals are much more reliable, and there's no need for him to meddle; offering some hypothetical suggestions at most is enough.
Sea Emperor and his crew respected Gu Ding's decision-making authority as captain, so they needed him to give instructions. They knew that if everyone made decisions according to their own ideas, chaos would ensue.
Mutual respect has always been a fundamental principle of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.
Having received Gu Ding's instructions, Sea Emperor controlled the spaceship to speed toward the Black Hole.
Just as the group arrived at the outer edge of the Black Hole, the Federal Government finally issued its announcement.
[Urgent Notice: A large-scale Reverse Tide is about to erupt in the Reverse Space, currently predicted to be at least level eight! Please prepare for avoidance as soon as possible! Ensure safe navigation!]
"Level eight, probably more than that. Judging from the current situation, that energy pile is still accumulating energy and shows no signs of erupting. I estimate that this Reverse Tide is at least level nine or higher." After projecting the Federal Government's announcement, the Sea Emperor also gave his opinion.
"If a report is issued at level nine or higher, it will cause panic, which is something the Federal Government wants to avoid. Moreover, they are very careful with their wording. In fact, those who know the Federal Government can easily guess that this figure is a conservative estimate." Although Miko could not see the text, she could hear the voice broadcast.
As Beika looked at the two minors in front of him, his surprise grew. He increasingly realized that everyone in the Gu Ding Pirate Crew was extraordinary.
"Alright, the spaceship is about to enter the region where the Black Hole is swallowing us. I will try my best to keep the spaceship running smoothly. However, under such strong gravity, turbulence is inevitable, so please don't panic." Sea Emperor's eyes were fixed on the projection screen.
Maintaining stable operation inside Black Hole is obviously not a simple matter. It requires balancing the spacecraft's power and the Black Hole's gravitational pull, which is also a very energy-intensive process for the spacecraft.
The spacecraft soon entered a turbulent phase, which lasted for nearly two hours before stopping.
"It's alright, the spaceship has stabilized completely, and we've entered the inner region of the Black Hole. It should be safe here now," Sea Emperor's voice finally came through. "However, inside the Black Hole, our communication with the outside world has been cut off. Signals can't get through here; they'll be torn apart by the powerful gravity. We'll be out of contact with the outside world."
"Can we know when the Reverse Tide will end?" Liliath asked with some concern.
"During the Reverse Tide, the Black Hole will exhibit unusual behavior. However, once the Reverse Tide ends, the Black Hole's unusual behavior will also quickly cease, so there's no need to worry," Sea Emperor explained.
"Then let's wait patiently. We'll leave as soon as the Reverse Tide ends," Gu Ding nodded. (To be continued~^~)
