Expedition One, living quarters. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The bar in the living area is full of people, it is the time of the daily public holiday, the excitement of departure has been consumed, the daily training has been completed, although the airship does not provide high-alcohol beverages, but it is also a good choice to drink a glass of light wine in your spare time, chat with like-minded people, and share the mood at this time. No matter where you go, man is a social creature after all.

The only pity is that because the two small quantum superbrains on Expedition 1 are overloaded with various calculations, many virtual services that can be enjoyed on Earth cannot be enjoyed on this ship, such as virtual food technology.

For foodies, this is absolutely intolerable, but compared to the mission they are carrying, this great sacrifice is less important.

This also makes all the social occasions in the living area on Expedition 1 extremely lively. People who are immersed in a state of leisure will even temporarily be on a huge spaceship on an expedition to the universe, as if in an ordinary city on Earth, directly to the piercing sirens sound.

"Attention, attention, the spacecraft will enter the open space fold after sixty minutes of Earth time, and enter the space wormhole after sixty-two minutes, please all quickly return to their homes, or the nearby safe warehouse! Compatriots who need to stick to their posts should wear protective shields to avoid unknown dangers. ”

Space folding technology, which is equivalent to an artificial wormhole technology, has high requirements for the stability of space, and cannot have too strong gravitational interference, nor can it be a completely stable space. The former will cause a very large deviation from the destination point, which is really a small difference, a thousand miles of error, and the resulting error may be calculated in light years, and it is not impossible to run farther and farther, but it is a good choice to escape at a critical moment.

The latter will be because the space structure is too stable, resulting in the need for great energy to open up a temporary channel, and in this case, the channel opened up often can not last too long, so the distance of the channel is often not too long, the cost performance is too low, and what is more dangerous is that the temporary wormhole opened up under the space structure that is too stable is often extremely unstable, and the channel may collapse at any time.

If Expeditionary 1 sails in the wormhole and does not have time to escape from the collapsed space passage, the result will be absolutely catastrophic, and the most optimistic estimate is that the outer ship must be abandoned in order for the inner ship to escape. However, this is not the end, what is more dangerous to rush out of the wormhole passage is that it may also be within the influence of a certain planet's gravity, if it is an ordinary planet or there is a way to think, if it is facing a star, or a white dwarf, this kind of extremely dangerous celestial body, for a behemoth like Expedition 1, the end can be imagined.

To put it bluntly, the space folding technology on Expedition 1 is not perfect, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Of course, there is also an option, looking for a wormhole passage that is naturally formed, and with the strong defense capability of Expedition 1, it is enough to support a long-distance wormhole passage route.

This is also the reason why Expedition-1 plans to go directly to the central region of the Milky Way after visiting all the planets in the solar system that humans have not yet visited, according to the observation and analysis of various astronomical telescopes set up on Xingyao City over the years, as well as the results of a large number of probes all over space, it is estimated that there are natural wormholes in the core region of the Milky Way.

Of course, after entering the wormhole passage, what humans on the ship are most afraid of is all kinds of unknown radiation.

Although there are various anti-radiation devices and coatings on the outer shell and inner surface of the Expedition 1, the most frightening thing in the universe is the unknown! Who knows what will happen in another dimension after entering a wormhole? As a carrier of thought, the human body is still too fragile, and it is naturally under heavy protection, which is more reassuring.

The heavy cabin of the protective compartment specially for individuals, and the tight molecular structure, can effectively block 99% of the radiation, which is verified, and the information from the biochip in Wang Shizi's body, including the grandfather who raised him from childhood to adulthood, is using this biological protection cabin to deal with various radiation risks in the universe, which is naturally more reassuring.

Non-stop sirens rang in all corners of Expedition One. People who have already had a full rehearsal of this situation need not panic at all, an hour in advance is enough for them to return to their homes or find the nearest protective compartment to wrap themselves in. The device in the cabin will automatically detect the user's brainwave frequency and play the hypnotic sound that is most suitable for the user to enter the sleep state, which will generally allow the user to fall into a deep sleep within one minute.

After entering the wormhole, most of the work will be taken over by the machine or the quantum superbrain system on the expedition one, but after all, there are still some tasks that cannot be completed by the machine, and naturally there are still people left behind to deal with various emergencies, including waking everyone on the giant ship from deep sleep in a crisis environment.

Generally, with the help of robots, it only takes up to ten minutes to fully get these clothes on. Some scientists even choose this time to conduct scientific experiments, and it is really not completely certain to know whether the physical rules in the alien space environment are the same as the space in which everyone is usually located.

As for the mecha warriors who are on duty, it is even more convenient, just stay inside their mecha.

This kind of individual weapon that can be adapted to combat in the strong radiation environment of the universe, and the material of the fuselage has long been treated with the strictest anti-radiation.

So an hour in advance is enough. In emergency crossing training, the lead time is usually only 10 minutes.

Even in extremely dangerous environments, forcing oneself through a wormhole can occur, in which case one can only hope that the wormhole they are crossing will not cause any moths and encounter some kind of unknown radiation.

Half an hour after the alarm was raised, the entire giant ship quickly fell silent.

Especially in the living area, the square, bar, and various game rooms that were still lively just now have been emptied, and the most lively place on the giant ship has become the quietest place in a blink of an eye. It can also be seen from this that the five-year special training has indeed not been in vain.

An hour passed by and most people were asleep, and there was a thunderous roar from where the engine was, then to a muffled roar, then to a "hiss" of electricity as it swept by, until finally it was quiet again.

However, a group of people who were still sticking to their posts in the command hall were extremely serious and solemn at this time. The change in the engine means that the energy has been filled, and the next crucial moment is the time to fold the space.

In fact, space folding is still a technology based on the black hole cannon, and its principle is to create a huge gravitational force to make space distort for a short time to achieve space jumping.

Of course, this can't be the complete state of the Black Hole Cannon, and the sudden collapse of the space will swallow up the Expedition One.

Therefore, after careful calculation, a strong gravitational unstable space must be created by the black hole cannon, and the wormhole must pass through the wormhole according to the median value of the velocity range calculated by the quantum superbrain, so as to achieve the purpose of crossing space.

There are still dangers, but safety is also greatly guaranteed, and there have been many experiments in the past five years, and various situations that may be encountered have been rehearsed and emergency measures. However, after all, this is the first time that Expedition 1 has made a long-distance space jump, so it is natural to be energetic.

Wang Shizi and Yan Xiaoxi are also among them.

The holograms in the command hall are faithfully restoring the environment in which Expedition 1 is located, and it is presented in a way that can be observed by the human eye.

At this time, Expedition-1 is in the void about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, which sounds like a long distance, but in the universe it is a distance of five seconds. Compared to the universe in light years, this distance is not worth mentioning.

It was dark all around, and the sun's light was mostly obscured by the moon, making the distant stars stand out.

The black hole cannon hidden in the outer layer of the giant ship has been raised, and it is in the grip of a tense calculation.

Although the crossing point has been calculated in detail, there is still a test work at the final start-up, and most of the calculation work is still undertaken by the quantum superbrain, and the operator has to confirm whether the entered parameters are correct in the final stage.

"The detection is complete, the space jump point is determined, the black hole cannon is quantitatively charged, the load particles are ready, and the space jump operation is requested!"

"Execute!"

After listening to the institutionalized report and instructions, Wang Shizi nodded and said.

At the north pole of the giant ship, the isolation plate made of heavy metal was unfolded one after another, and the black muzzle of the gun slowly rose from the hole.

As the ultimate weapon of Expedition 1, it naturally takes a certain amount of time from preparation to launch, but this time it is not for the purpose of destruction, but to tear out a space that can be traversed, so it does not take too long to prepare.

If it was in a state of war, the countless warships inside the Expedition One would all be released to buy time for the main ship, and at this time, it was just to create a gravitational field to achieve the purpose of folding space, so naturally there was no need to make such a big fanfare.

Soon, the muzzle of the black hole cannon shone with a faint blue light again, and there was no sound propagation in the vacuum, only the blue light could be seen gradually converging, and then silently throwing a dangling blue light point forward, but as soon as the muzzle of the cannon came out, the light point gradually disappeared, and it was swallowed up by the surrounding darkness.

However, these sights can deceive the human eye, but they cannot deceive the ubiquitous detectors on Expedition 1.

At the energy reaction interface, there are obvious large fluctuations, especially at the target point tens of thousands of kilometers away, and an invisible energy vortex is gradually taking shape.

"The launch was successful, and the energy response amplitude was normal! It is expected that the wormhole will form in ten minutes, and Expedition One will request to enter! ”

The weapons officer, who had just finished firing the black hole cannon, reported excitedly.

"Approved to enter!"

The voice fell, and a series of commands were generated again.

"The section 6-36 engine is fully charged, the angle is being adjusted, and it is expected to be fully started in one minute!"

"In the speed calculation, it is expected to enter the wormhole in five minutes!"

……

In space, the countless engines with their backs to the artificial wormhole finally began to start at the same time, and the flames spewed out by the countless jets at the same time illuminated half of the void white, and after a while, the Expeditionary One gradually got faster, and when it reached the fastest, it rushed towards the position where the black hole cannon was pointed at almost dozens of times the speed just now.

Five minutes later, it rushed directly into nothingness, and the entire giant ship disappeared into the void space almost instantly.

……

The moment I entered the folding space, most of the various shipboard camera equipment collectively failed, but some special spectral cameras that were still working still recorded some scenes outside the passage of Expedition 1, and after the calculation and restoration of the quantum superbrain, it became a virtual scene being restored in the command hall.

Everywhere there are two-dimensional images of colorful bands of light, composing countless abstract and outrageous patterns. If you can take screenshots and cut down these patterns, it is estimated that the old Mr. Vincent van Gogh of the Impressionist will sigh to himself. In particular, some colors are not defined at all in the human world, and they only make people feel dazzling.

Whether it is up and down, left and right, or front and back, there is no so-called concept of passage or corridor at all, everywhere is filled with all kinds of such colors, losing direction, losing the sense of space, in these noisy pure color vision environment, it is even impossible to determine the direction at all, Expedition 1 is completely moving according to the predetermined trajectory before, as if trapped in the deep sea with the same scenery all around, the difference is that the surrounding area is not boundless darkness, but a boundless ocean of light and color produced by the intermingling of various colors.

All the timekeeping tools on the ship came to a halt at the same time, and everyone seemed to be wandering in a space with no beginning and no end.

Without accurate timekeeping, everyone was immersed in the virtual environment and couldn't extricate themselves, when the eyes suddenly went dark, the familiar dark space appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a huge disk hung quietly in the sky, and the high-energy spectrum analyzer showed that around the periphery of this large disk were countless colorful gases.

That's right, that's Jupiter, a magnificent planet, and those colored rays are the rings of clouds formed by the fastest rotating planet at high speeds, and Jupiter's rotation speed is so fast that these clouds and mist are like torrents, and those colorful spots that gush out, each of which is comparable in size to a certain ocean on Earth.

This was followed by the roar of radio waves received by Expedition 1, which were captured by the various detection equipment on Expedition 1 as the super-intense radiation belts around Jupiter collided with captured particles.

Jupiter, humanity has finally reached the largest and heaviest planet in the solar system. (To be continued.) )
