Chapter 94 Dangerous Regions In Space, Opportunity And Danger Co-exist
Why? Because it was a topic of some dangerous area of space that a spaceship might come across... n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zeras also listened attentively, a chill running down his spine occasionally while cold sweat dripped down the face of some of the New Cadets as they listened attentively unable to divert their attention for a single second...
"Of course, being the EIA, we have remedy solutions for most of the mishaps and today we\'ll be talking about those mishaps and what the EIA had done to try and remedy the effect..."
Zera\'s ears immediately perked up as he noticed something wrong with Instructor Moneca\'s speech. She said the EIA found cures for most of the mishaps but she never said all of the mishaps, which means there is still a probability of mishaps happening on a mission in space...
"Firstly are the Asteroids and Meteors. Great Mishaps in space that have worried Earth even before the Great Evolution..." Instructor Moneca said causing Zera\'s ears to automatically perk up.
An event before the Great Evolution? An event during the ancient Earth?
The space around the room changed becoming an endless expanse of space whole an image appeared at the centre of the room.
The image of a fiery object with a very long tail that seemed to be moving with speed throughout the void they were in...
"Comets continually orbit around star systems, but these naturally occurring propelled masses of ice and rock are very dangerous. From studying comets in our star system, we know that they are icy bodies that, when warmed by the rays of our sun, release gas and dust, creating a huge tail behind them.
This jet-like process propels these objects around the solar system, but because comets propel themselves while being pulled around by the gravitational forces of the solar system, their orbits are eccentric and not always easily calculated.
There are well over 20,000 comets in our Infinite Galaxy, some nuclei measuring up to 500 kilometers. If one of these ever hit an unsuspecting spaceship, the energy released would wipe out, um, all of the people on board..." Instructor Moneca said as Zera\'s hair rose to its ends.
The mission was already dangerous enough, now they have to watch out for the space they\'ll be traveling again. "So as for the remedies input by the EIA, it\'s the incredible engine with very great power that can still run out of the range of a high-speed comet even if it was detected at the last minute with an energy barrier that can handle the residual shockwave of energy that would emanate from it...
That is to say, so far, you detect it a minute which should be possible if you use the spaceship Techno-Radar, you should be able to avoid getting destroyed by a comet or asteroid... Nothing to worry about, huh?" Instructor Moneca said with a smug grin as she looked at the students who looked as if they almost had their soul taken out from them...
"The second most common space mishap is called the Coronal Ejections:
Coronal ejections from stars have the potential to cripple even the best spaceship\'s technology.
Coronal ejections usually occur during a sun flare, which is a sudden increase in energy output on the surface of a star. Though some flares do not result in coronal ejections, when they do the star spews out hot, radiated clouds of plasm. When this shockwave of plasma reaches the spaceship, it can cause geomagnetic storms which tear electrons from electronic devices and may even expose any present life to cosmic radiation.
If you guys were to come across a coronal ejection, then all of you would die as your weak body wouldn\'t be able to take in that much force of cosmic radiation without mutating.
And you must be pretty stupid if you think the mutation will give you special powers like growing four muscular arms or six eyes. While there\'s a possibility of that happening, the arms will probably grow out of your eye sockets..." Instructor Moneca said looking at the image of a fiery beam of explosion that was happening at the centre of the void right in front of all of them...
"So what are the remedies, Actually you can avoid this by speeding away from the explosion at full speed, but the range of such an explosion is too wide and could make you lose the path to your mission.
So the best remedy is to get caught in the explosion and activate the full barrier. Of course, Cosmic radiation will spill in and the EIA created a remedy.
That is the EIA Vesta advanced spacesuits. They should be able to stop cosmic radiation infiltration to the wearer.
Another way to stop being affected by cosmic radiation is to be at the Cosmic Rank stage. Then you\'ll be immune to such radiations..."
"Cosmic Rank stage..." Zeras muttered. He was still only at the Star rank stage and was still two major cultivation levels from that stage, but the thought of reaching that stage still made his heart beat fast, just how strong will a Cosmic Rank stage expert be?
"Another Space mishap is The Black Hole mishap...Known as Rogue Black Holes, these gigantic objects are capable of strolling into a star system and swallowing it up talk less of a spaceship...
They\'re produced when a star collapses in on itself, creating a point in space where gravity is so strong, that even light can\'t escape from it.
What\'s worse is that they can\'t be observed directly, and we can only detect them when we see their gravitational influence, meaning even your Radar is useless against a Black Hole.
But they\'re pretty rare, and you\'ll only find one if you\'re too far away in the Infinite Galaxy, at least you don\'t have to get that far away for now..." Instructor Moneca said as she prepared to move to another one but got interrupted by a cadet who raised his hands.
"Yes..."
"Um, is there a remedy for a black hole?" The boy asked the fear in his voice incredibly hard to conceal...
"A remedy? Ummm, NO. The only remedy is to be at the Galaxy Rank stage. I\'m afraid no remedy is available at your level. So if you do come across a black hole, then blame your bad relationship with Lady Luck and say your last prayers..." Instructor Moneca replied as the boy took his seat, looking to have aged ten more years.
"Lastly for this class is Interstellar Planets:
We commonly think of planets as masses of rock or gas that orbit a star. But there are planets out there without a home, and if one of them wandered into a star system, it could be disastrous.
These interstellar planets spin through space without orbiting a star. It\'s believed this occurs when a planet is either flung out of a planetary system by gravitational forces or when a planet forms from debris outside of a stellar region.
It\'s estimated that there are billions of these worlds out there as we speak, wandering alone through the cosmos...
But do you know there\'s an interesting fact about this Interstellar Planets..." Instructor Moneca said causing the students to raise an eyebrow.
\'It\'s probably a bad thing..."
"Every Single Mishap in space while called a mishap could be an incredible opportunity that worlds might even go to war for..." Instructor Moneca said as Zera\'s ears perked.
\'An opportunity, could it be there might be something important hiding in every mishap, something so important worlds can go to war for?... What could that even be?"
