Blue and White Society Chapter 1: Arrow of the Sun

At 10:15 on April 29, 2018, a "Battle Shadow" experimental reconnaissance aircraft in the United States left the airport.

Two hours later, it was found to have crashed in the eastern part of the Indo Ocean, about 170 nautical miles away from the military port. The nearest naval base sent search and rescue forces to the accident sea area.

Pilot Bailey escaped by parachuting and was rescued safely.

After checking the cause of the accident, it was found that the reconnaissance plane hit a foreign object at an altitude of 6,000 meters while flying at high speed, and the wing was damaged. Because the speed was too fast, the damage continued to expand, and it failed to return to the flight, and finally crashed.

Military employees investigating the accident found it strange that no flocks of birds were detected at the time of the accident, as described by the pilot.

It was a very small thing that hit it, but it was flying at high speed, and it was not expected that there would be foreign objects at high altitude, and the joint detector did not detect any metal reaction.

Fortunately, in the cockpit video, through the reflection of the pilot's helmet, a blurred image of the thing that hit the wing at the time of the incident was seen.

"It's a stick, it's definitely not a bird."

"How could there be a stick at an altitude of 6,000 meters? Could it be space junk falling?"

"Even if it is space junk, if it falls to a distance of six kilometers from the surface, even if the surface is not burning, there will definitely be a falling air trajectory."

"But these are not, that is to say, when it hit, the stick was flying horizontally in the sky? It's a pity that we only saw a little bit in the video, so we can't judge its trajectory."

"Anyway, space junk must be ruled out. The reconnaissance plane failed to detect any metal products at the time of the incident. It may be that the metal content of foreign objects is too small. If this is the case, it is impossible for objects that are not made of heat-resistant materials to be recovered from the If space falls to a height of 6,000 meters, it should have evaporated long ago."

Several investigators analyzed for a long time, but failed to figure out what was going on.

Foreign objects at high altitude, flying across the sky, the plane hit the target at high speed and the wings were damaged. I don't know how to write the cause of the accident in the report, because it is more like being attacked.

After they honestly reported this, a military weapon expert quickly paid attention to this matter.

The Dr. Robert said: "It may be some kind of special invisible alloy material, which escaped our joint detector."

"The foreign body has its own propulsion, which makes it rigidly stressed in the unsupported air and crashes the wing."

"It's probably not an accident!"

A bystander said in amazement: "In other words, it may be a stealth missile? Or a micro-aircraft?"

"It is very likely that this is a new type of weapon that we do not yet know about. Theoretically speaking, this type of propulsion is most likely the acceleration of the fall, but the video proves that this is not a high-speed falling object, so it must have the ability to propel itself , should be an aircraft." The doctor said.

Soon, the ships still in the accident area reported that no foreign objects were found in the nearby waters, and there were no debris related to foreign objects in the wreckage of the plane.

"It is possible that it is still in the air, sending more air search forces."

Although the flying object was not detected, the aircraft searching the formation found the foreign object.

Because the speed of the foreign object is supersonic, as long as you search carefully at a certain height, you can still see the object passing through the clouds and causing the sonic boom shock wave.

It's just that this thing doesn't emit any signals. If it hadn't shot down one of their planes and locked on a rough trajectory, it would really be impossible to find it passing by such a high place.

"It's a supersonic stealth fighter... No, it's not a fighter, it's too small, it should be an unmanned aerial vehicle!"

"This supersonic stealth unmanned micro-aircraft technology, even we do not have, and the volume is too small, how to solve the problem of fuel storage?"

"Is it the latest drone?"

"Pursuit!"

After discovering a foreign object flying at high speed, the military quickly judged the flight trajectory.

Send a supersonic fighter plane from the military port to pursue.

"The target speed is about 500 meters per second, and it is expected to catch up in five minutes."

"There is such a high-performance unmanned aerial vehicle..."

"Its target may be above the base, can it be shot down?"

"No, it's too fast, and the detector can't detect any signal from it..."

The American military quickly sorted out a lot of information about the mysterious flying object.

Although the speed of this mysterious flying object is supersonic, it is still far behind a real supersonic fighter.

The truly scary thing about it lies in its small size and incredible radar stealth function.

If it wasn't for its straightforward flight at an altitude of 6,000 meters, the trajectory would be too obvious. But if it is pulled up to an altitude of 8,000 meters or even 10,000 meters, there is no way to find it.

No electromagnetic wave was detected, no trace of control signal was intercepted, not even a metal reaction, and its material was completely unknown.

"The previous video showed that the stick-shaped flying object broke several pieces during the impact. Why can it still maintain such a high flying speed?" Dr. Robert wondered.

"Does it have a nano-repair function?" Others said in amazement.

Just when they were wondering, five minutes passed quickly, and a message came from the pursuing plane: "I caught up with it. Its trajectory is very straight. I can attack it. Are you allowed to shoot it down?"

The doctor said: "Didn't the course change? This may not be an aircraft, but a warhead?"

"Try to be parallel to it, and pass the image over."

Soon, the supersonic fighter was about 20 meters away from the target. If the target exploded within this distance, there was still time to dodge it.

Flying in parallel, the image of the mysterious flying object can finally be seen clearly.

After careful observation, the pilot was completely stunned, and immediately sent the image of the foreign object back to the base.

"What? Arrow?"

The so-called foreign object is a pure carbon arrow.

Because of the previous impact, this arrow has been shattered, the shaft of the arrow is broken into more than a dozen pieces, and the arrow is all detached.

However, these fragments still slanted towards the sky at a speed of nearly 500 meters per second.

This is completely inexplicable, and everyone in the base who saw this scene was dumbfounded.

What they were looking for was a mysterious aircraft, but what they found was an even more mysterious flying arrow.

It is still a broken arrow, obviously without jet stream, and without rocket propulsion, yet it flies at supersonic speed.

At high speed, the arrow body is obviously hot, and there is a small amount of steam lingering on the surface, but the pure carbon fiber material is very heat-resistant, and less than twice the supersonic speed is not enough to burn it.

"It didn't burn, but it was followed by steam... Could this steam be the gas that evaporated when it hit the 'Battle Shadow' before? Why did the gas follow this broken arrow at supersonic speed?"

Dr. Robert looked at the impact in astonishment, feeling the absurdity of the picture.

What propels this arrow?

Why is it still able to advance when it is broken?

Why is the gas still propulsive when part of the matter evaporates?

Where is this inexplicable flight going?

Many doubts stunned the weapons expert.

When there was a dead silence in the hall, a colonel said solemnly: "Dr. Robert, please sort out the information for me. This matter is listed as a 3A secret."

The doctor was stunned: "Ah? It's..."

The colonel immediately sent out the information compiled by the doctor, and soon the superior ordered: "Two other supersonic fighter jets have already gone to meet it, and let the chasing pilots cooperate to capture it."

The colonel who received the order immediately conveyed the order to the pilots near the flying arrow.

Not long after, the other two fighter planes were also parallel to Feijian.

One of them is an unmanned aircraft, which launched a tight capture net and successfully captured the pile of scattered flying arrows in one fell swoop.

"Slow down gradually!"

The unmanned aircraft began to slow down, but as soon as it slowed down, the unmanned aircraft lost its balance!

The place where the bottom of the plane was connected to the metal catch net was stretched straight, and the flying arrow dragged it to maintain its own speed, without dragging to slow down at all.

"Out of balance! Out of balance!"

The plane in charge of dragging is spinning behind the flying arrow, but no matter which direction it flies, it can't stop the flying arrow from slanting towards the sky.

The speed of the flying arrow measured by the nearby parallel plane is still 500 meters per second.

"Cutting the catch net!"

In desperation, the superior ordered to abandon the capture net, and saw that the pile of flying arrow parts continued to fly with the net, and it took a long time for the drone to stabilize again.

"My God, what is this?" Dr. Robert looked at the screen, a little bit broken.

Can't help asking: "Is this a UFO?"

The colonel shook his head, but did not speak.

There is no news from the superior in command, and they seem to be discussing how to deal with it.

The three planes responsible for the pursuit could only follow along, and the time passed by every minute.

Flying arrows are gradually crossing the base of the United States in the Indo Ocean. After a while, the planes will not be able to follow. Whether it is fuel restrictions or free flight zone restrictions, American planes are not allowed to follow the flying arrows around the earth. .

At this time, Dr. Robert also gradually calmed down. The instinct of a scholar allowed him to continue to analyze and think on this absurd basis.

He seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Huh? It seems to be chasing the time zone all the time?"

"Time zone?" The colonel was taken aback.

Dr. Robert controlled the computer and pointed out the path of the flying arrow: "Comparing carefully, we can find that it is always facing the sun, and its speed is about 500 meters per second, which is just faster than the earth's rotation speed at 35 degrees north latitude. A little."

"If the arrow flies from east to west, if it keeps this speed, it can circle the earth in 24 hours. And during this process, it is almost always at the same local time."

He recalled the time when the combat shadow was hit, and said: "The time of impact was just past twelve o'clock noon, the flying arrow passed through India at this speed, and it was exactly twelve o'clock when it reached the west coast. Continue Go forward, cross the Indo Ocean, and when you reach the sky above the peninsula, it will also be the local twelve o'clock."

The colonel asked in surprise: "What does this mean?"

Dr. Robert shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's like an arrow chasing the sun..."

"Chasing the sun? Shouldn't chasing the sun fly straight out of the atmosphere? Why do you want to orbit the earth?" The colonel was puzzled.

Dr. Robert seems to have thought of something, and he is calculating crazily. After a while, he suddenly stood up and said: "Actually, it is not circling the earth!"

"I know why it is so fast! It is not following the earth's rotation! So that for us, its speed has reached supersonic speed! And it is always shining in the sun."

Robert quickly built a model, and saw that in the model, the flying arrow remained unchanged as an anomalous point, while a sphere rotated on its own side.

The sphere represents the earth, and its rotation represents a day, so for that anomalous point, after one day, it also passes through the sky of the earth once.

"No..."

Robert quickly overturned this model, because he found that the flying arrow is not stationary relative to the earth, even if the speed of the earth's rotation is removed, it still has a speed of several meters per second.

This speed is exactly the speed at which the arrow moves away from the ground.

That is to say, its inexplicable propulsion is not simply due to the earth's rotation. Even if the earth does not rotate, the flying arrow still has a strange propulsion that drives it away from the earth.

It is originally an arrow flying upwards, because the earth is rotating, and its rotation speed is obviously faster than its upward speed, which makes it seem to fly across the sky.

"Stay away from the surface...stay away from the surface...I get it! It's ascending!"

Robert quickly started building new models, but he wasn't very good at the project, he was just a weapons expert.

Can only verbally explain to the colonel: "Colonel, you are right, it is indeed flying out of the atmosphere 'straight', but its speed is too slow! The speed of leaving is only a few meters per second."

"If an object is in a state of continuous propulsion, and at the same time does not exceed the second cosmic speed, then it will circle the earth and continuously increase its orbit."

Robert drew a 'mosquito coil' pattern casually, and then at the end of the mosquito coil pattern, the line directly pulled out a straight line, symbolizing breaking away from the shackles of gravity.

"I can't explain this inexplicable propulsion, but if this propulsion can be maintained, its altitude will gradually move away from the sea level at a speed of several meters per second, and finally leave the atmosphere."

"For some reason I can't understand, it always faces the sun, so it doesn't follow the earth's rotation, and the trajectory of the rising orbit is just an illusion that the earth's rotation makes us feel."

"When it escapes the gravitational pull of the earth, it will continue to move towards the sun in a vacuum... until it is swallowed by the sun in the distant future."

The colonel immediately reported this idea, and his superiors soon approved the conjecture.

An old professor appeared on the screen and said to Robert: "Your idea is correct. Although it is absurd, it may be true. This arrow... is rushing towards the sun irresistibly... Extremely slow."

Robert said with an ugly face: "I just thought about it casually, but this is too absurd. This propulsion out of thin air allows it to break through the resistance of the air and the rotation of the earth."

"Existence makes sense. We can only speculate based on the facts. Just now, the flying arrow suddenly rushed to the outer space at a height of 40 kilometers at an extremely fast speed. Our plane could no longer keep up. Fortunately, we have placed detectors on the capture network, which will continue to report the position and speed of the flying arrow to us," said the old professor.

Robert frowned and said, "Suddenly accelerated? No, isn't this overturning my guess? If it can reach a speed of 40 kilometers per second, why doesn't it just rush out of the atmosphere?"

The old professor explained: "No, your idea is right, this is still not its own speed, but the speed of the earth's revolution... It's not that the flying arrow is accelerating away from us, it's just that it suddenly doesn't follow the earth's revolution ..."

"Although this is more absurd, we can only make a series of conjectures about it."

Speaking, a more rigorous model appeared on the screen.

The old professor said: "The idea of ​​the day-by-day arrow you mentioned is one of the dozens of conjectures we have listed, and it is also the most likely one."

On the plane model, a dotted line is drawn between the sun and the flying arrow, and the revolution of the earth is not a perfect circle. It has times when it is closest to the sun and times when it is farthest from the sun.

If the earth is revolving close to the sun, then the flying arrow will receive the help of the earth, so the force pushing itself towards the sun and the force of the earth approaching the sun will be superimposed. Make it look like it follows the constraints of the earth's gravity and revolves with the earth.

It can be seen that the previously observed speed of a few meters per second is not its own speed, but because the earth was slightly close to the sun during that period, and the direction was the same, resulting in almost no flying arrows. away from the surface.

But if the earth is orbiting away from the sun, even just a little bit, the flying arrow will not follow. Under this condition, its propulsion force seems to have increased by a certain value, and after offsetting the gravity of the earth, it can still maintain its own speed away.

From the observation point of view of people on earth, the flying arrow will suddenly move away at an extremely fast speed.

Actually, the flying arrow did not accelerate, but the speed of the earth was too fast, and the two parted ways.

"The distance between the flying arrow and the sun is not enlarged by the gravitational pull of the earth. On the contrary, the flying arrow always faces the sun and shrinks the distance from the sun at an extremely slow speed... This value, through calculation, is about After throwing away all influences, the flying arrow will fly at a speed of forty-five meters per second in a vacuum."

"To put it simply, no matter how much pulling is given to this flying arrow, it cannot prevent it from flying to the sun at a speed lower than forty-five meters per second. On the contrary, it can help to propel it."

"Whether there is a way to stop this unstoppable 'constant propulsion', we are no longer able to explore, it is already far away from the earth."

Speaking of this, the old professor felt a sense of loss.

Robert is also a little absent-minded. He has been engaged in engineering all his life, and he has never seen such a weird thing.

It's almost... It's an alien product.

After the serious thinking based on the absurd reality was over, he began to fall into a state where his world view was somewhat collapsed, and the physics in his heart was completely destroyed by this arrow.

No matter how good the analysis is, the basic premise is simply broken!

God's constant propulsion, whether it is classical physics or subversive physics, can't explain this weird phenomenon.

"God, where did the arrow of the sun come from?"
