Chapter 33: Extraterrestrial Things
Zhou Xing's feeling now is like getting on an elevator without any protection measures, the elevator is floating in the air, and it is blown left and right.
"Woo, cha-cha!" Gat's howl of excitement echoed everywhere in the central control room.
The ground magnetic device was turned on, Zorro stood firmly on the ground, looking at Zhou Xing's pale face, he was a little reluctant, "Boss, or I'd better let him stop." ”
Gate is so happy, his mission is to soar into space, during this time on Earth, it can suffocate him, this time he flew out again, a good spaceship made him fly out of all kinds of maneuvers.
Zhou Xing shook his head and signaled that he was fine, through the huge porthole in front of the control room, he could clearly see the darkening sky and the gradually brightening stars.
The ground shrank, the scene was invisible, and four azure jets erupted from the tail of the tinder, propelling the ship away from the earth quickly.
The gravitational device in the middle of the spacecraft, through special control, provides the same gravity to the active area as it does on the ground.
Even so, Zhou Xing's legs were still soft and his eyes were dizzy.
"Boss, it's like this for the first time, and you'll get used to it after a few more visits. Gatt shouted enough, only then did he remember to take care of Zhou Xing's emotions and comforted him.
The main purpose of this trip was to find a suitable space jump point.
Interstellar travel can easily be millions of light years, and even if it is a Tinder spacecraft, the time it takes to fly is enough for a geological epoch to change, so the use of space jump points has become the norm for flight.
"Once you're in space, the spacecraft becomes very stable, like you're lying on your own bed, and you can try to let go, boss. ”
Seeing Zhou Xing on the bridge who wrapped himself into a mummy, Gate was speechless.
"Let me give you a brief introduction to the situation on aliens. Seeing that Zhou Xing was too nervous, Zorro tried to talk to him to ease his nervousness.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that he was going to talk about aliens, Zhou Xing looked over curiously, and the expression on his face relaxed somewhat.
"Since Professor von Aquino's theory was confirmed, space jumps have become possible. However, the amount of energy required to fold the two natural spaces to form a wormhole that can be passed through is so great that even advanced cosmic civilizations will have a headache. Therefore, the weak point in the space, that is, the jumping point, becomes a necessity. ”
As Zorro explained, several rays of light shot out from the edge and converged in the center of the control room, forming a vast star map that looked very familiar, it was the solar system.
"When we came, it was through the Eye of the Sahara on Earth, and although we couldn't pass through the large spaceship, it was still okay for the Tinder to pass through. But there has been a strong space storm in that jump point recently, and to be on the safe side, we need a spare point, and here we go," Zorro pointed to the star map in front of him, "and the far side of the moon, after Gate's calculations, there is probably another one." ”
Zorro's hand slid inward, the star map shrunk, and a ringed nebula appeared in front of him.
"In the discovered space, the star field is divided into eight major interstellar spaces, each of which is vast. ”
"The first interstellar has the oldest civilization, and it is also the interstellar with the highest level of science and technology in the universe, and the largest federations, empires, and parliaments all exist here. The entire interstellar space has been exploited, but the first interstellar has the most extensive colonies and occupies the most fertile resource stars. ”
"The situation in the second interstellar is a little better, the development is relatively early, and there is the pressure and threat of the first interstellar, most of the forces in the second interstellar are very united, and it is difficult for outsiders to get involved. But after all, the first interstellar is powerful, and after years of hard work, it still infiltrated it, and now the second interstellar is divided into two forces, and when we leave, the two sides are facing each other, and we don't know what happened. ”
……
"The Matthias Federation is located in the central star field of the Fettia system, the sixth interstar, and it used to be a beautiful place, but it's a pity that it's ......" Zorro shook his head, not wanting to mention it again.
"Located on the edge of the seventh universe, the Alpha Star Domain is a neutral chaotic star field where you can encounter all races, all kinds of ... Well, humans. Zorro hesitated when he said this, many creatures there can't be called humans, let's use this name for the time being.
"As for the eighth interstellar, it was discovered nine hundred years ago by the explorer Dirio You of the American Empire, and it is an undeveloped interstellar area, where major powers are entrenched, but it is the one with the most frequent wars. ”
Hearing Zorro talk about people, Zhou Xing asked curiously: "Are there many races in the universe?
There are all human beings of the same species on the earth, and racial discrimination has broken out because of the color of their skin, which is still very common today, let alone completely different races getting together.
"Racism, how could there be. Zorro was poked sadly and began to gush again, "You think, our metal base is expelling iron oxide, and someone is taking it to make steel, my God, can you imagine a huge container, stirring ...... Do you have to put your excrement in strips and end up in their house?"
"And silicon-based life, when they sneeze, the room is full of dust, and believe me, you can't stand it, even my bearings can't stand that environment. ”
"As for your carbon-based...... Zorro hesitated, but continued to say that for some gaseous life, the main component of the gas they exhaled was hydrogen sulfide......"
Zhou Xinggang exhaled a breath, and when he heard Zorro's words, he almost didn't suffocate to death!
"Okay, okay, come here, you don't have to say any more. Zhou Xing was really afraid that he was saying something shocking.
"By the way, Zorro, what is the lifespan of your metal-based life, won't it be immortal?" Zhou Xing has always been curious about this, theoretically speaking, as long as the metal is properly maintained, it will exist for a long time.
As soon as Zhou Xing's question was raised, it diverted Zorro's attention.
"How can there be eternal life, even the stars, even the universe, are slowly changing. Hearing the word eternity, Zorro sighed with emotion, as long as it is life, there is no one who can calmly face the word eternity.
"Although our metal-based life is long, it is also gradually aging, but this process is much longer than that of humans, and it is not so obvious. I know of a silicon-based creature that moves very slowly, even if you sneeze, it takes hundreds of years from inhalation to opening your mouth, and a sneeze goes out for almost a thousand years, and it is a problem for a life like this to communicate with you. In their eyes, you are a fleeting shadow. ”
"Their lifespan is measured in billions of years. ”
Zhou Xing was dumbfounded, thinking that he often shushed at the stones on the side of the road when he was a child, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his crotch, but fortunately they couldn't see clearly!
The universe is really colorful!
……
International Space Station.
David stood in front of the porthole, looking at the starry sky in the distance, it was so deep and charming that people never got tired of looking at it. Since he was a child, he loved to look up at the stars at night until he became an astronaut, and his childhood dream became a reality.
During this time on the space station, every evening, he would stand here on time, thunder and thunder, and was jokingly called the alarm clock by several other astronauts.
Today is no exception, David looked out intoxicated, and the starlight set off against the dark background was vibrant.
Under the intermingle, David always felt that the stars were confiding in his heart. This time of day is the time when he is most calm and enjoys the most.
It's a pity that happy times are always so short-lived, and as an astronaut, the burden on your body is not light. Just as he was about to turn to leave, a streamer crossed his eyes.
David turned back abruptly, and with the professionalism and keen sense of smell of an astronaut, he immediately noticed that this was unusual.
The speed of the streamer is unusually fast, surpassing that of all man-made vehicles today, and it cannot be a comet, and I have not heard of any near-Earth objects approaching recently.
UFO?
A magical word jumped into his head.
When he tried to check again, the streamer had already swept through most of the portholes, shooting straight into the distance.
……
It is said that it is the far side of the moon, but in fact it is not on the moon, but at an altitude of nearly 100 kilometers from the surface of the moon, there is a very tiny black spot.
Even with modern instruments, it is difficult to detect this black spot. If it weren't for Gate's gravitational field using the Tinder spacecraft's gravitational field to cause a concussion in the surrounding space, the black dot would not have existed.
When the space is in a strong turbulence, a black dot suddenly appears on the front of the porthole, which is very small at first, and if it is not for the bright backlight, it is difficult to find a dot only the size of a broad bean.
As soon as it appeared, this point was like a black hole, quickly devouring everything around it, not even letting go of the light, and in a few breaths, it turned into a black hole with a diameter of nearly one kilometer, like a huge black mouth, lying in front of the spacecraft.
A magnificent, psychedelic ribbon of light pierced through the black hole, like a giant spear, shooting into the depths of the universe.
Seeing Zhou Xing looking at the light band suspiciously, Gated explained: "This is a high-energy particle that escaped from the wormhole, the two spaces are close to friction, and the energy released is huge, in addition to being consumed in spatial changes, there is also a part of the energy that will be converted into particles and escaped." ”
Zhou Xing bowed slightly, he still knows a little bit about Einstein's theory of relativity, although he can't fully understand it, but he still knows about the transformation of mass energy, and he can actually see a phenomenal reaction here today, if the professors in the physics department know, will they cry and call their mother, begging to take a look?
Zhou Xing was YY in his heart, and he had the opportunity to talk to them, and with the theory he heard from Gate, it would definitely not be a problem to get a double degree.
Gater was already preparing for the jump, and he had to go in to see what was going on in the passage. The ship's gravitational field is turned up to its maximum, and the surrounding light begins to distort, forming a circular area around the ship.
"Boss, the gravitational force of the wormhole space is disturbed, and the flow of light will be very complicated, if you feel dizzy, you can go and rest for a while. The ship began to accelerate, and the two massive splits slowly sank into the passage.
Light, light everywhere!
Even with Get's reminder, even with the filter of the porthole, Zhou Xing was still dizzy by Yao.
The simple light is easy to resist, but the space in the wormhole passage is extremely distorted, and all the light is intertwined, like a mess that has been magnified countless times, Zhou Xing, just a tiny speck of dust in this mess.
As the spaceship advanced, the light continued to distort and change, tangled at an unbelievable angle, Zhou Xing's feeling was no longer dizzy, he was a little tempted!
At the critical moment, a translucent helmet was placed on his head, Zorro saw that he was not comfortable, took out the helmet of the spacesuit from the equipment box and put it on Zhou Xing, and the chaotic world disappeared abruptly, leaving only a few points of light that swam slowly.
Just like a cool breeze in the dreary before the summer rainstorm, Zhou Xing's mind quickly cleared.
"It's okay, it's like this for the first time, just get used to it, and the inspection will be over soon. Zorro comforted him.
