"Hiss-"

As Chen Yu started the faster-than-light engine, the hull of the ship trembled violently, and strange air currents sounded.

Everyone on the boat could clearly feel the rotation of their bodies.

"It's the ship adjusting its direction. Chen Yu explained, "The left sphere containing dark matter is aimed at Proxima Centauri, and the right sphere is used to release dark energy for expansion. The ship will remain stationary during the process, and there should be no more jolting. ”

Sure enough, when the slight tremor was over, the hull returned to calm.

Bright sun.

Pitch black sky.

Brilliant galaxy......

It's all as still as pictures.

"That's... When will the spaceship be faster than light?" asked a young man from the barrage team tentatively.

"It's super now. Chen Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Super?!"

Hearing this, except for some professionals in the reward group, the rest of the interactors were full of surprise.

The slightly chubby man named Taizhu was lying on the ground, his eyes widened, and he carefully looked at the starry sky under his feet, "There is no movement outside at all?"

"Smack. ”

Raising his hand, Chen Yu skillfully snapped his fingers, and a virtual projection screen suddenly appeared in mid-air.

In the middle of the screen, several strings of numbers are displayed.

The speed of light is x12

365371k/s

9,457.7 billion kilometers from the destination.

The estimated time is 1355 days.

"The speed of light is the fastest speed we know to move. In a vacuum, it can reach close to 300,000 kilometers per second. It can circle the earth eight times in one second. From the sun to the earth, it only takes eight minutes. From the Earth to the Moon, it only takes two seconds. It is true that such an extreme speed is already very fast in the eyes of humans, incredibly fast. But on the large scale of the universe, it is not much different from a crawling snail. ”

As he spoke, Chen Yu looked back and pointed to the slightly blue sun in the distance, "We are like snails, and the sun is like a mountain." Even if we reach 12 times the speed of light, it would take close to a year to pass through the Oort cloud and fly out of the entire solar system. So from our point of view, everything is not moving. The speed of light, it's really too slow. ”

"Even the speed of light is so humble in the universe, and traveling without the speed of light is even more difficult. Maybe when a civilization really masters dark matter technology, the universe will open up to it......"

Afraid.

If you don't experience it yourself, you'll never be able to experience the emptiness of the universe.

Suddenly autistic.

+1 for self-autism.

+250。

For the universe, we are not even a virus......

Humans are so weak.

If you can't master dark matter, you can't fly all over the universe. If you can't fly around the universe, you won't get enough dark matter. Isn't this a loop?

It seems that we have become the lord of all things on the earth, and we belong to the novice village in the universe OL?

It should belong to the newly built number......

Where's the female assistant?

"Smack!"

Clapping his hands to attract everyone's attention, Chen Yu stretched out two fingers, "Then continue to speed up now, twice the speed of light." ”

Speed of light x2

5987310k/s

The deep space "wallpaper" is still unchanged, but if you look closely, you can see that all the starlight behind you is slightly blue.

This is due to the strong blue shift caused by the speed of light.

And all the starlight in front of him was slightly red......

The front is red and the back is blue, which finally gives humans a reference, proving that the speed of the spaceship has exceeded the speed of light at this time.

Stretching out five fingers, Chen Yu's tone was calm, "Five times." ”

Speed of light x5

1487462k/s

"Buzz!"

At the moment when it broke through five times the speed of light, I don't know how it worked, and the starry sky around the spacecraft was faintly distorted.

"It's a space lens. ”

Chen Yu dutifully explained, "At five times the speed of light, the independent space that envelops the spacecraft inevitably undergoes a Cree diffuse effect because of the contrast between the front and back, which can be understood as deformation. So, from our point of view, it's like a 360° force that bends the glass, creating a lens effect. ”

"Whew~"

Everyone in the barrage group nodded suddenly.

The astronauts of the reward group opened their toolboxes, built equipment, arranged sensors, and began to shoot and analyze.

"Go on. Chen Yu stretched out his hands and opened his five fingers, "Ten times!"

Speed of light x10

2975611k/s

When the spacecraft "moves" ten times faster than the speed of light, the distortion of the surrounding space becomes apparent. The blue shift in front and the red shift in the back almost completely obscured the original color of the star.

"Huh!"

At this moment, a light and shadow suddenly crossed the outside of the spaceship, startling everyone.

"?"

"What swoop all at once?"

"I thought I was dazzled......"

An interactor at the Red Bank Observatory adjusted the scale of the equipment and casually said, "It's Jupiter." ”

"That's right. Chen Yu nodded: "It was Jupiter that flew over just now." Because the spacecraft is so fast, when we skim Jupiter, our dynamic vision is not enough to capture its image. Then, keep accelerating, twenty times!"

The speed of light x20

6046227k/s！

"Fifty times!"

Speed of light x50

015 AU/s

"1 astronomical unit represents the distance of the Earth from the Sun. In other words, at our current speed, it only takes seven seconds to reach the Earth from the Sun. ”

Chen Yu's mood slowly excited, "Fifty times the speed of light, it's just the low-speed state of this spacecraft." Go on, 100 times!"

Speed of light x100

03 astronomical units/s

At a hundred times the speed of light, the blueshift and redshift are becoming more and more intense, but all stars, including the sun, are still not moving......

The horror of the universe was bloody, and it was shown in the eyes of 170 million people in the live broadcast room.

"It's crazy. "Ma has no money to lie on the transparent wall of the ship, seriously observing the deep space that seems to be eternal and unchanging, and his thinking, spirit, consciousness, and three views have been greatly impacted.

"Human beings are so small......"

He suddenly realized that the huge business empire he had worked so hard to build was nothing more than an ant in the colony lifting a grain of rice just from the perspective of the solar system.

It seems great, but in fact it is insignificant.

When tens of millions of years later, if humanity becomes extinct, it will not leave a trace. Only emptiness and dead silence remain, blending into the main theme of the universe......

The rest of the people, including the astronauts, also had mixed emotions.

Several young people in the barrage group faced the vastness, and even faintly had the urge to commit suicide in their hearts.

In such a humble life of just a few decades, I have experienced studies, life, creation, work, exhaustion, and hard work...... What is the point of struggling to survive to being old and dying?

“......”

As an "astronaut" who has set foot in the universe countless times, although Chen Yu cannot be said to be indifferent, he will not be as sentimental as them.

I saw him raise his hand, stretch out five fingers, and say in a calm tone, "Continue to accelerate, five hundred times." ”

Speed of light x500!

15 AU/s!

At a frantic speed of 150 million kilometers per second, the originally arrogant and cold starry sky was finally conquered and began to translate visibly with the naked eye......

And inside the spaceship, there was also a frightening upheaval.
