Chapter 400: Black Hole Extinction (3)
Chapter 400 – Black Hole Extinction (3)
The sun was pulled apart, the scorching fireball transforming into a fire dragon that dove straight into the black hole.
The sun’s luminosity instantly increased thousands of times.
Large ma.s.ses of matter were thrown into s.p.a.ce. Clumps of gases also circled around the black hole and gradually diffused into a white accretion disk. Eventually, the accretion disk even extended up to Earth’s position.
“The sun is different from Jupiter and Saturn. Even if it is a black hole of such an astounding ma.s.s, it will need a long time to thoroughly devour a star. As for the matter that the black hole fails to devour in time, it will become the black hole’s iconic accretion disk.”
Hovering above Earth’s atmosphere, Chen Yu looked at the camera and gave an explanation to the empty livestream rooms, “We are presently inside the accretion disk, so the nearby radiation has reached a terrifying degree. Earth’s surface temperature has also increased past 5,000 degrees Celsius.”
Adjusting the camera angle downward, Chen Yu continued, “As you can see, at this time, Earth can no longer be considered spherical in shape. The planet’s ocean has evaporated completely. The continents have also fragmented and are now floating under the black hole’s gravity. Hmm… Do you see that big rock flying upward? If I’m not mistaken, that should be Mount Everest.”
Rumble…
While Chen Yu was giving his explanation, deafening noises kept emerging from the depths of the planet.
The fractured continental plates and gushing magma all proved that these noises were Earth’s dying moans.
“I can’t move together with Earth anymore.”
Halting the E·I Force Field’s movements, Chen Yu solemnly said, “My main goal for this simulation is to experience the changes I will undergo after getting devoured by the black hole. If I enter the black hole together with Earth, the surrounding matter will create significant interference, and this will definitely affect the footage I am recording. So, I will remain here for now and capture the scene of Earth getting destroyed.”
As Chen Yu was saying so, humanity’s oval hometown spun away under his gaze.
Meanwhile, only after he had stopped moving together with Earth did he realize just how quickly the planet was flying toward the black hole.
Fifteen minutes later.
Earth was finally unable to withstand the terrifying gravitational pull, and the planet began disintegrating on a large scale.
The Eurasian Plate, American Plate, Antarctic Plate, Pacific Plate…
Every inch of land familiar to humanity fragmented and transformed into the most ordinary rock ma.s.s that rushed toward the bottomless abyss ahead.
Twenty minutes later.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud noise that exceeded the floating camera’s resolution limit, Earth split into two like a sandwich biscuit, and red hot magma gushed out from the exposed core. The magma then merged with the white accretion disk and released a blurred brilliance.
Forty minutes later.
The largest rock ma.s.s finally disappeared into the pitch-black abyss.
Both in a broad sense and narrow sense, Earth had officially died.
“…”
Redirecting the camera toward himself, Chen Yu shrugged and said, “Both the sun and Earth have declared GG already. I am the only one left now. Since the discovery of black holes, humans have always been curious to find out what can be found inside a black hole and what would happen once we enter a black hole. Will we travel to another world as if we were traveling through a s.p.a.ce-time wormhole? Or will we be torn down to the atomic level and be forever imprinted on the event horizon?
“Because there is only one camera, I intend to have it operate in automatic mode and maintain a constant distance of ten kilometers from me. Next, I will personally dive into the black hole to reveal its secrets to everyone.”
After saying so, Chen Yu adjusted the camera’s settings and began drifting away slowly in the E·I Force Field. He then raised his wrist and spoke into his watch, “Let’s hope I can have a wonderful experience. Counting down from three, two, one… Go!”
Boom!
The E·I Force Field shot forward, blowing away the gas condensed around it.
“Battle music, start!”
(I’ve just been in this place before)
(Higher on the street)
(And I know it’s my time to go…)
A familiar melody reverberated inside and outside the livestream rooms.
Unlike in the past, n.o.body was sending in bullet comments in the livestream rooms at this time.
Five thousand kilometers!
One thousand kilometers!
Two hundred kilometers!
As Chen Yu moved increasingly closer to the black hole, he could also tell that the gravitational pull coming from ahead was growing increasingly stronger.
This was because the E·I Force Field’s flight speed had already exceeded 15 times its standard maximum speed. Even then, its speed was still continuously increasing.
When Chen Yu had moved within 100 kilometers of the black hole, warning sirens suddenly erupted inside the force field.
[Attention! Dangerous source of gravity detected ahead! Please avoid!]
[Attention! Dangerous source of gravity…]
[Attention! Dangerous…]
Pzt! Pzt! Pzt!
As if realizing that Chen Yu had no intentions of turning around, the E·I Force Field immediately released a low-voltage electric shock in an attempt to wake up its “comatose” driver.
“c.r.a.p, it hurts…”
Clicking his tongue, Chen Yu turned off the force field’s self-protection mechanism. He then raised his watch and continued watching the scene captured by the camera.
He wanted to see the moment he fell into the black hole.
Eighty kilometers.
Fifty kilometers.
Thirty kilometers…
As if having reached a critical point, Chen Yu’s and the camera’s visual senses gradually diverged.
From the camera’s perspective:
Chen Yu’s figure looked as if it was being stretched crazily under the force of gravity. In no time at all, his body had transformed into a strand of noodle.
When the lower half of Chen Yu’s body had stretched to a length of 2 meters, his upper body had extended to 30 meters.
When his lower half had been stretched to 30 meters, his upper half had already exceeded 1,000 meters.
Because of the time dilation effect, Chen Yu’s movements from the camera’s perspective also became slower and slower.
Moreover, due to the wavelength of light being stretched, the color of his body’s surface became redder and darker. Eventually, the light had shifted so much that it had gone beyond the visible spectrum, which led to Chen Yu disappearing completely from the camera’s vision.
However, the next moment, the camera activated a special display and captured Chen Y’s figure once more. At this time, though, as if Chen Yu had become frozen in place, his body remained motionless inside the “vortex” of the black hole.
Whoosh!
Following its programming, the camera maintained its distance from the black hole and continued capturing Chen Yu’s figure without fear of the pa.s.sage of time or the vicissitudes of life…
…
From Chen Yu’s perspective:
Apart from his body being stretched, Chen Yu failed to notice any other abnormalities with his body. When he looked out of the black hole, though, he found that time outside appeared to be moving faster and faster. The view outside also became increasingly bluer and brighter.
After three minutes had gone by, the world behind him had turned white.
Seeing this, Chen Yu activated the E·I Force Field’s special display function and blocked off the blue light. Immediately, the world outside the black hole returned to normal.
However, a few seconds later, the accretion disk outside the black hole disappeared from his vision.
Another 30 seconds later, Chen Yu saw the Milky Way colliding and merging with the Andromeda Galaxy.
Another 20 seconds later, he saw that all galaxies were moving away from each other.
Another 10 seconds later, he saw the stars in the sky disappearing one after another.
Another five seconds later, he saw the last speck of light vanishing out of existence.
The universe had died…
Another three seconds later, light reappeared in his vision!
Another two seconds later, he saw all the dimmed stars reappearing, colliding with each other, and bursting into an array of beautiful colors.
Another second later, he saw that everything in the universe, including himself, condensed into a single point.
That was the singularity of the universe.
Another 0.1 seconds later…
A loud noise entered Chen Yu’s ears, and then he…
Lost consciousness…
