The jump calculation of the Pioneer spacecraft is performed by the intelligent brain system, not to mention Su Wei as an assistant, although the jump engine that Su Yichen and they made up is not perfect, and there is still a gap compared to Ike's spaceship, but in these sailing days after leaving the new earth, the jump engine of the spaceship has been running well, even if there is a slight difference in the jump distance, it is within a reasonable range.

The distance between the wormhole and the location of the small galaxy is 25 light years, and the Pioneer spacecraft set a transition distance of 23 light years, of which the reserved distance of two light years is used as a margin for error, and the safety of the transition flight is also taken into account.

With a gap of 25 light years, there will inevitably be a difference between the information searched and the actual situation, which is a very basic concept in astronautics, so when the Pioneer spacecraft exits from the jump, it stands to reason that they are still about two light years away from the destination, then the remaining distance will take the curvature flight state forward, and when it enters the edge of the small galaxy, the spacecraft will come out of the curvature state and adopt the normal flight mode.

But now, when the Pioneer spacecraft came out of the jump flight, the next step according to the program was to enter the curvature flight, but when the spaceship Zhi Brain once again positioned the small galaxy, the distance data displayed made Su Yichen and the others stunned, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

"Did the brain malfunction in the process of passing through the wormhole?" Su Yichen thought of this in an instant after being stunned, but then Su Wei's review proved that there was no problem with the Zhi Brain, and all the data was correct.

How is this possible! The data in front of Su Yichen shows that they are still 20 light-years away from the original goal set by the small galaxy, and you must know that the jump distance they set is 23 light-years, which is a full 20 light-years short of hungry distance! If it's not a problem with the brain, is it a failure of the jump engine? Immediately, Su Yichen immediately inspected the jump engine to find out what the problem was.

After some tossing. The check found that the jump engine did not have any glitches and was running perfectly fine. This time it's even more strange, it's obviously the set jump distance of 23 light years, but in fact, it only jumps a short distance of 3 light years, there is no problem with the calculation of the brain, and the jump engine has not failed as imagined. It stands to reason that this could not have happened.

Su Yichen and Luo Yan looked at each other, they had never encountered such a situation, and they didn't understand why such a strange thing happened.

"Xiao Wei, what is your judgment?" Luo Yan asked Su Wei, as an intelligent being, his ability in this regard is the strongest.

Su Wei was also very puzzled at this time, although he had strong calculation and judgment skills, but now this situation was completely beyond his ability. Under normal circumstances, this would not have happened at all. But the facts are in front of them.

When inspecting the jump engine, Su Wei did another review of the data settings and the brain program, and all the results were the same as before, they did only jump 3 light years away, what is going on?

"So everything is normal, and the ship's equipment is fine, but it's true that our position has only moved 3 light-years, and I don't understand why this is happening." Su Wei replied in frustration. He couldn't answer this question, which he and Su Yichen and his wife were the same.

"Could it be a chance problem? For example, what is the chance of a jump engine happening? Luo Yan reasoned with common sense. Su Yichen thought about it, this may not be nothing, whether it is a brain or a machine, it cannot be 100% accurate in the operation process, no matter how small the probability is, it may be generated, which is completely valid theoretically.

And now this situation, since they can't answer it in any other way. Then this negligible chance of existence becomes the only answer. Not only Su Yichen, but even Su Wei felt that there was this possibility, perhaps because of the influence of wormhole crossing, there would be such a small chance.

Putting the problem aside, let's think it was the reason for the probability, Su Yichen decided to make another jump flight. This time, the coordinates were still the same as before, and after repeated double-checking and inspection, the Pioneer spacecraft started the jump engine again. In space, the second jump flight of the Pioneer spacecraft began, and everything was still going well, and when they got out of the jump, Su Yichen couldn't wait to check the distance between them and the small galaxy, and when the data results came out, everyone was stunned again.

"Impossible! This...... How is this possible! ”

Su Yichen was so stunned that he even shouted, and as for Luo Yan, he also had an incredible expression. All the data shows that their second jump was only a light-year away, this time it was shorter than the last, and now they were 19 light-years away from where they should have been.

The first time a problem occurs, everyone boils it down to probability when they don't find the answer to the question, and the second time it happens, it can no longer be answered by probability. You must know that before the two jump flights, they had made meticulous preparations, and the results were unexpected. If you explain such a situation in terms of probability, it will not make sense in theory.

Faced with this situation, Su Yichen and his wife looked at each other, and they couldn't explain it at all. At the same time, a cold air came out of their hearts, making them feel that there was an indescribable strangeness and mystery in this airspace. What's going on here? Why do jumps make such a big mistake?

"Just ......."

Suddenly, a voice sounded, Su Yichen looked up and saw that it was Su Wei who was speaking, and he saw that Su Wei's face was full of doubts and incomprehension.

"What happened just now? Did you find something? Su Yichen asked anxiously.

Su Wei thought about it and shook his head, but after a while, he frowned again.

"I don't know if I noticed that there was an illusion when I made the jump just now."

"Delusion?" Su Yichen couldn't help but glance at Luo Yan, if it was an ordinary human being, it would be normal for an illusion, but Su Wei was not an ordinary human being, he was an intelligent life! As an intelligent being, his instincts are extremely rational, which is fundamentally different from intelligent life. Su Wei will have an illusion? It stands to reason that this is simply not possible. What's more, even if there is an illusion, with Su Wei's powerful calculation and judgment ability, then he can completely understand whether this is an illusion or not.

"What kind of delusion? It doesn't matter, you say it boldly. Luo Yan saw that Su only wanted to speak and stopped, and encouraged softly.

Su Wei hesitated for a moment, and then said, "At the time of the jump." I seem to feel the space pulling ...... infinitely. ”

"Infinite stretch of space?" Su Yichen and his wife never thought that the illusion that Su Wei said was actually this, the space was infinitely stretched? How is this possible? The universe they are in is a three-dimensional universe, plus the one-dimensional time is four-dimensional, in the three-dimensional space, the distance of space is fixed, even if there is a space oscillation, then it only affects a small part, and there is not much fluctuation for the overall space.

However, when he heard Su Wei say his delusion. Su Yichen suddenly thought of Su Wei's ability again, you must know that Su Wei is an extremely special intelligent life, he is an intelligent life with unique spatial ability. Although neither the brain nor the equipment on the spacecraft detected any fluctuations or oscillations in the space, Su Wei felt that the space was stretching, not to mention whether this was an illusion or not, Su Yichen had to pay attention to it just a little bit.

"Can you confirm that?" Su Yichen asked. But Su Wei shook his head: "I can't be sure, it's just an illusion, I don't even know if it's true or not." ”

"So how do you feel like the space is stretching infinitely?"

"It's an instinct. And it's just a short moment, as short as a millionth of a second. I can't tell. Su Wei said with regret.

"It's ......." Su Yichen didn't know how to judge the illusion that Su Wei said, but after thinking about it, he set his eyes on Luo Yan, at this time Luo Yan saw a judgment in Su Yichen's eyes, she also thought about it, and then asked Su Wei: "If you do it again, can you be sure?" ”

"I can't guarantee it, but if there are two illusions of the same. Logically, then, this should be real. Su Wei replied with the unique thinking of intelligent life.

"And what about the first time? You didn't feel it when you first jumped? ”

Su Wei thought about it for a while, and quickly shook his head again: "No, not the first time, I don't know why I didn't, maybe I didn't pay attention." ”

Luo Yan nodded slightly to Su Yichen. Su Yichen understood his wife's thoughts, and immediately decided to make another jump flight to prove whether the illusion that Su Wei felt really existed.

The Pioneer spacecraft has already made two jump flights, and the third jump flight will take some time to prepare. In the process of preparation, Su Yichen and they were not idle, according to the illusion that Su Wei said, they deliberately carried out an auxiliary preparation plan, and Luo Yan even mobilized part of the function of the spaceship's intelligent brain to assist Su Wei in making judgments.

About ten hours later, the jump engine of the Pioneer spacecraft was ready for the third jump flight, and the coordinates of this jump were still the same as the last two times, when the spacecraft began to start the jump engine, Su Yichen and Luo Yan looked intently ahead, and at the same time tried to feel the illusion that Su Wei mentioned.

The third jump flight was still successfully completed, and when the jump came out, Su Yichen and the others immediately determined their location and the distance of the coordinates again. This time the jump distance was shorter than the second, the first time they jumped about 3 light years, the second jump was 1 light year, and the third jump distance had been shortened to 0.7 light years .......

"I feel it, that's what it feels!" Su Wei said loudly, there was affirmation in his expression, he told Su Yichen and his wife that he once again felt the feeling of the space being infinitely stretched, and according to what he said, this time the feeling was stronger than the previous one, and it was because of such a strong feeling that he was sure that this was not an illusion, but a real thing.

After getting Su Wei's reply, Su Yichen was silent all of a sudden, he looked up at the starry sky in front of him, and the small galaxy that was not too far away, and some questions kept popping up from the bottom of his heart, making him confused.

According to Su Wei, there was a very short time when they were making a jump flight, and the space produced an infinite stretch, and it was this stretching that caused the distance of their jump to have a great deviation. For example, if a person is running, and the road under his feet is lengthening or advancing in the same direction as he runs, then the distance he runs will be greatly shortened if the speed at which the person is running cancels out the distance of the road being extended or advanced.

There are some differences in this analogy, but it is largely the same. If this is the case, then it can also explain why the ship's jump engine and other equipment have this result when they are intact and without any problems, but what Su Yichen can't figure out is why the space produces the phenomenon of infinite stretching, and more importantly, why this happens in the moment of their jump. What's going on here? What kind of secrets does this airspace hold?

While Su Yichen was thinking about these issues, Luo Yan was also thinking about these issues, she looked ahead, and suddenly thought of something and immediately mentioned it.

"You're saying we're going to give up jump flight and move forward in curvature?"

"That's right!" Luo Yan nodded and said: "We are all very clear about Xiao Wei's ability, since he judged that this is not an illusion and is real, then it should not be wrong, maybe this place has something strange that we don't know, and judging by Xiao Wei's two feelings, it seems that the closer you get to this situation, the more obvious it is." ”

"This ...... That's right, it seems to be the case by the circumstances. Su Yichen did not object to Luo Yan's judgment, but reminded him of this aspect that he hadn't noticed just now.

Luo Yan continued: "Since this is the case, then we simply give up the jump flight and use the curvature flight state to move forward instead, so that we can better judge the characteristics of the infinite stretching of space." Whether it can be confirmed or not, it's better than not having the answer, right? ”

Su Yichen nodded, Luo Yan's proposal was a good idea, he decided to try it according to Luo Yan's suggestion, and immediately he ordered the spacecraft to start the curvature engine and approach the destination in a high-speed curvature manner, but neither Su Yichen nor Luo Yan expected that when the spacecraft was ready to fly in curvature and was about to enter the curvature state, the wisdom brain suddenly issued an alarm, and the curvature engine that had just been started was forced to terminate.
