864 Waiting for rescue

Jupiter system, Expedition One. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Two hours have passed, and the reconnaissance ships that narrowly escaped the catastrophe and were not sucked into the black hole have all been successfully rescued and returned to the Expedition One.

Expedition 1 also used these two hours to rush to the vicinity of the wormhole, only need to start the curvature engine, and in five minutes can rush into this wormhole passage and reach an unknown destination.

The selection of all has also been completed.

As Wang Shizi said in his speech before leaving, the last people who can be selected to board Expedition No. 1 are the best in various industries carefully selected from the earth. Most people come with the romantic idea of being able to roam the starry sky.

But reality is not a game after all, and when you really experience the danger of sailing in the universe that may perish at any time, there will always be people who are 100,000 people, no matter how strong their beliefs were, may be shaken after witnessing the moment of life and death crisis.

According to the system, 1,123 people chose to return to Earth in the end.

Fortunately, this number is not too exaggerated, and the impact on Expedition 1 is almost negligible.

A blogger-class destroyer quietly started from a hatch opened by Expedition 1 and began to move in the direction of the earth, this destroyer carried the 1,123 people, and returned to Xingyao City after a long journey of about two planets according to the set route.

The reason for sending a warship, rather than a faster reconnaissance ship, is mainly due to security concerns. Although there is no danger in the solar system, after all, space jumps cannot be carried out, and a battleship can make everyone on the ship more or less reassuring.

At the same time, Wang Shizi once again activated the contact with Xingyao City in the command center of Expedition No. 1.

It is about to travel to an unknown space, and with the current technological level of the earth's civilization and the information obtained, it can only be judged that the mechanism of the wormhole is relatively stable, and it is still impossible to detect the twists and turns of space to calculate how far the wormhole will cross.

According to the current theory of space transition technology on the earth, space transition has only a lower bound distance, but no upper distance.

That is, theoretically, there is no upper limit to the distance of space transition, unless there is an end to the space of the universe. And whether there is an end to the universe is also an unsolvable question for the current earth civilization. After all, now Expedition 1 has to hesitate to pass through a wormhole, let alone understand the universe.

So after entering the wormhole passage, the only thing that Expedition 1 can be sure of now is that Expedition 1 will have to travel at least about 100,000 kilometers, but obviously, it is absolutely unnecessary for an advanced civilization to make such a big project in the solar system, spend so much effort, and make a space wormhole that is more than 100,000 planets just to cross such a short distance.

No high-level civilization can be so boring, so this contact is necessary. In case you pass through and finally find that Expedition 1 is a million light years away, there will be technical difficulties in thinking about instant communication at that time, and there is still a need to say hello before leaving.

Soon the communication was connected, and Townsend appeared on the other side of the screen again.

This made Wang Shizi feel a little surprised.

The current Tang Sen is the new helmsman of the Star Group, what the hell is guarding the command center of Xingyao City every day?

"What's going on? Good news? Or bad news? ”

"Why do I think you're a little out of business?"

"Not doing your job? Now that you're gone, I'm the boss I deserve, who dares to say that I'm not doing my job? Townsend said with a stinky face.

Wang Shizi was speechless, just looked at him silently.

"Okay, the company's affairs are now operating according to what you said, the companies under the group are preparing to go public, and it will take two weeks before the roadshow, and everything will be handed over to those elite professional managers to solve. Did you say it, Space City is the foundation of the Star Group, I feel very comfortable sitting here, I have to say that the house you left in Xingyao City is very good, I am very satisfied! ”

"Now Expedition One is in a little trouble. We have found a stable and long-term wormhole passage in the Ganymede system, and according to the judgment of the ship's scientific experts, this wormhole passage is not naturally formed, which is perhaps the strongest proof that extraterrestrial civilizations have visited the earth. Wang Shizi said lightly.

"What do you say? Jupiter's Piece Has a Wormhole Passage Left by an Alien Civilization? ”

"That's right, the current situation is that when we are exploring the entire wormhole passage, there are twelve reconnaissance ships and the 126 people accompanying the ship who have passed through the energy tide that has not been calculated before being wormhole, and according to the scientists' understanding of the existing information of the wormhole, they have an eighty percent chance of passing through the wormhole alive!"

"Wait, don't you mean to change your original plan and take Expedition One with you?" Townsend said excitedly.

"Yes, I have given all the crew members of Expedition 1 a choice, and those who are willing to go with me will change their plans and embark directly on an unknown journey, regardless of life or death. Those who are not willing to take such a risk have already boarded a blogger-class destroyer, a total of 1,123 people, and they have already set foot on the regulations, and the Xingyao City Space Port must pay attention to receiving it. Wang Shizi explained.

"No, but the expedition-1 has not been fully tested, the original plan for the voyage in the solar system is purposeful, fully check the performance of the expedition-1, and you have just arrived at Jupiter and are about to sail away, what if something goes wrong?" Townsend was in a hurry.

"That's why I gave everyone on the ship a chance to choose again!" Wang Shizi shrugged his shoulders and said, in fact, there is another reason why everyone on the ship chose again, Wang Shizi did not say it.

He had already decided that his grandfather was from an alien planet, and he happened to find such a wormhole passage near Jupiter, and he highly suspected that his powerful grandfather had left the solar system through this passage. For the sake of his heart's strong desire, he also decided to take a risk, and naturally gave others a chance to choose.

"As for the test drive, I'm actually very confident in the performance of the Expedition 1. Even a single screw on the entire Expedition No. 1 is produced by the enterprises under the Star Group in accordance with the strictest quality supervision system. The design itself is a collection of the world's most knowledgeable and professional opinions on the aerospace industry. Actually, I don't think that the test run in the solar system has any special significance for the expedition 1, which is destined to survive in the universe in the future! At most, it's just to put my crew at ease. Wang Shizi explained calmly.

"Did you find out for yourself, you really thought of yourself as a captain since you left Earth." Tang Sen complained, "I used to think that you were arbitrary on Earth, at least there was no danger to your life, but now you are in space!" Do you understand space? What if something goes wrong with jumping over? A boatload of people! and Yan Xiaoxi and Wang Xinyao are also on the boat! ”

"Of course, I was sure that I would have made this decision. Do you really think that Expedition 1 has dedicated so much space as the R&D layer because the space is too large? Scientists at the R&D level have made the most detailed judgments and analyses. Among the 1,126 people who decided to return to Xingyao City, there was not a single R&D layer, which is enough to show that there is absolutely no problem with the safety of passing through this wormhole! You can rest assured! Don't worry too much if we lose contact in the future, I'll find a way to get in touch with you! The coordinates of this wormhole and some of the results and rules of our preliminary research have been sent to Xingyao City simultaneously, and I suggest that you should do a good job of defense near this wormhole passage in the next step! Build a Woody Dock in the shortest possible time, aim the Black Hole Cannon at this wormhole passage at all times, and destroy this passage without hesitation if something unexpected happens. ”

"Accidents? What accident? Wait, you mean an alien invasion? Townsend said with hindsight.

"Just in case! Or there won't be any situation at all, but there's always nothing wrong with being careful, no matter what! Wang Shizi explained.

"I see! You can rest assured! Before the successful construction of Expedition 1, I will send some patrol fleets affiliated to Xingyao City to garrison the Jupiter system, and as for the construction of a defensive base on Jupiter's side, I will hand it over to the scientists you left behind in Xingyao City to explore feasible solutions! If you have to go, I won't persuade you, but you wait for me, in a few years, when my family's Tang Wen grows up, and I am tired of being on earth, I will follow Expedition 2 to find you through that wormhole! ”

"I'll wait for you! That's it! Take care! ”

"You have to take care! I'm not in danger of staying on Earth! ”

Hanging up the connection with Xingyao City, Wang Shizi suggested that he said: "I order, target the Woodbill wormhole passage, go!" ”

With an order, Expedition 1 sounded the final siren again.

Most of the people had already entered the protective compartment, and after the final siren, the entire Expedition One was finally completely silent.

The massive curvature engine began to enter a state of charging, and a few minutes later, the huge hull of Expedition 1 began to spew dazzling flames, and then rushed towards the direction of the wormhole like a delayed arrow, and five minutes later, the huge oval body disappeared without a trace in this space.

……

Hawkeye.

After the gravity was restored, the repair of the ship was significantly accelerated.

Some of the communication equipment was finally working normally, and the communications officer began to lie down in front of his console, hoping to get in touch with the friendly ship, but it was not going well. The radar system and detection system are still being repaired, and as for the power system, the curvature engine is obviously not usable for the time being, but the other auxiliary engines are not a big problem, and they can reach speeds of about 1000 kilometers per hour.

On Earth, a thousand kilometers per hour is already extremely fast, but in the universe, this speed is no different from a snail crawling.

Of course, it's important to be able to move at critical moments.

For example, after the radar system is repaired, look for nearby friendly ships.

But until then, the Hawkeye still chose to float silently in the void. This is the safest way to deal with it. While this may have exposed the reconnaissance ship to the danger of being exposed to the wormhole's influence, it is certainly safer to deal with it silently than to scurry around like a head-covered fly in an unknown void without any star maps.

To navigate through space, there must be a frame of reference. Now that there are problems with the ship's radar system and navigation system, it will not necessarily end up safer than being sucked into a wormhole again.

"By the way, what other types of detectors are on board?" Tan Zhengwen, who returned to the command cabin with Xiao Yan, suddenly asked.

"There must be some leftover of various models, but I don't know the damage, what's wrong?"

"Until the radar system is repaired, we can rely on these probes to analyze this space data, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to analyze the possible locations of other friendly ships from the nearby energy response!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Xiao Yan slapped his head and said.

In the panic, everyone only thought about repairing the Hawkeye, and they forgot about this stubble. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that they don't understand the data returned by these detectors. The data returned by the probe carried by the ship rarely has a variety of image information, mainly a variety of data and parameters, which are not carried on the satellite Hawkeye, which has the function of space camera. Therefore, Xiao Yan didn't expect that he could use this way to detect friendly ships in the void.

"That's what I just remembered! But I can't guarantee that it won't work. The energy response of the wormhole may obscure all the other traces of energy in the vicinity, I just feel that being idle is idle, so I might as well find something to do for myself! Tan Zhenwen spread his hands and said.

"yes, it's better to do something than to look at the stars with a telescope! Everyone has heard this, so we will put down our work for the time being and assist Professor Tan in releasing all the satellites we carry, and before the radar and detection systems are repaired, these satellites carrying detectors may be able to temporarily become our ears and eyes! Xiao Yan clapped his hands and said.

This is a familiar job, and soon several satellites on the ship were launched from all directions, still using the Hawkeye itself as a reference, in this case it is actually simpler to launch satellites, there is no specific detection target, only need to calculate and set the orbit, so that they do not interfere with each other or overlap the orbits. Anyway, I was hoping to try it, and for everyone on the Hawkeye, it was natural to hope that their allies could come as soon as possible, hoping that they would save themselves in a starry sky that they didn't know at all, which would be really a fool's dream. Without the curvature engine, the ship's life support system is simply not enough to support them to rush to the nearest planet, let alone even if they can reach the nearest planet, this planet only has a 1 in 100 billion chance of adapting to human survival......
