Chapter 518: Position Shift
Ike listened very carefully, and so did Su Yichen and his wife, when they heard Sai Pu say that he had "hallucinated" and saw some inexplicable lines in his eyes when he looked at the universe, the three of them exchanged glances at the same time, and there was a touch of shock and incredulity in their eyes.
Ike is a member of the Rand civilization, a member of the highest civilization in the galaxy. As for Su Yichen and his wife, they are scientists of the earth civilization, although the scientific and technological level of the two civilizations is very different, and the earth civilization is very weak compared to the rand civilization, but Su Yichen and his wife immediately thought of a possibility, the only possibility, like Ike, at this moment.
Are there any inexplicable lines in the universe? In fact, there is, and the three of them know very well in their hearts that it seems that the void universe actually hides a lot of things that cannot be seen, ubiquitous cosmic particles and rays abound in the entire universe, as well as those radiation and oscillations, which also exist everywhere in the universe. In addition, there are other things, such as the curvature of space, yes, it is the curvature of space, it is also a part of the universe, but it is the same as those cosmic particles and rays, it cannot be seen and touched, and can only be discovered through special equipment. Moreover, the existence of spatial curvature is more subtle than others, and it is undetectable when the technology cannot reach a certain level.
Sai Pu's description, although the ultimate truth has not yet been said, but at this time, Su Yichen and the others have already thought of an answer, and this answer is that the lines that Sai Pu saw were the curvature changes that existed in the universe. If that's the case, it's simply astonishing, and Ike, including Ike, has never heard of the ability to directly observe changes in the curvature of space with the naked eye, an ability that is almost impossible to exist.
As expected, Saipu continued to recount their experiences. The moment when Saipu subconsciously manipulated the spaceship to cut into that line. He reacted immediately, but at this time, it was too late to change, he could only watch the spaceship cut directly in, and then the entire spaceship shook violently.
This vibration is not the vibration of hitting a wall, but more like the vibration of a ship in the middle of the sea with the undulating waves. The tremors were very sudden, and all the crew members were shocked for a while. The first thought in everyone's mind was that the spaceship was about to crash, including Sai Pu himself, who was full of panic, remorse, powerlessness, and fear at that time, but at this time the spaceship was completely out of control, no matter how he tried to control the spaceship, the spaceship still did not obey the call.
The time before and after the tremor did not last long, in fact, it was only a few tens of seconds, but in this time, Saipu seemed to have spent a long time. When he didn't know when, Saipu suddenly found that the vibration of the spaceship had disappeared, and after the control of the spaceship was back in his hands, Saipu almost collapsed in his chair from exhaustion, panting, and staring blankly ahead.
"What's going on? What just happened? ”
Captain Dada hurried over, and saw Sai Pu sweating profusely slumped in his chair and asked loudly, with the rest of the crew behind him. The tremor just now frightened everyone.
"I don't know...... I do not know....... Saipu still hadn't figured out what was going on, and he muttered to himself with blank eyes.
Dada asked again. Seeing that Sai Pu was still like this, he didn't ask for the time being, and hurriedly asked the crew to check the situation of the Explorer spacecraft, he was worried that the vibration just now was caused by the impact of the spacecraft, maybe it was a meteorite, maybe it was some other small celestial body. The safety of the ship is key to their survival, and the damage to the ship must be clarified immediately.
The order was given, and the crew quickly got busy, and as for Sai Pu, everyone had no time to care about him for the time being. Anyway, in Dada's opinion, Saipu just looked frightened. It seems that he is not injured, and besides, Saipu is a scientist, not a real astronaut, and he can't help much in this situation.
After about an hour, the results of the ship's inspection came out, and to Dada's bewilderment, their Explorer was intact, not to mention any damage, not even the slightest sign of collision on the surface of the ship. This result surprised Dada, he couldn't figure out what was going on, the violent shock of the spaceship just now was felt by everyone, but the fact that the spaceship was intact was also in front of them, so what was going on?
When the crew returned to the bridge, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they couldn't explain the reality in front of them. This is really strange, after thinking about it for a while, Dada couldn't help but set his eyes on Saipu, as the person concerned, Saipu, maybe he knows something.
At this time, Saipu's nerves had recovered a lot, but he was still a little tired, but his face was much better than just now. Dada walked up to Saipu and asked again what had happened before and after the ship's shock, and Saipu, who had gradually calmed down, was silent for a while, and finally said everything.
"You idiot, you almost killed everyone!"
When he heard Sai Pu's story, the astronaut who was partnered with Sai Pu couldn't help but scold, but as soon as his words came out, Dada glared back, you must know that according to the program, he should have been the main pilot of the flight control, if he hadn't left his post without authorization, how could Sai Pu make such a mistake?
"Don't worry, no one blames you, Saipu, I just want to know what you just said...... Lines? What's going on? Dada patted Saipu on the shoulder and asked.
"I don't know, I really don't know." Saipu shook his head, with a look of frustration: "I always feel like there is something wrong with me these days, maybe something is wrong with my brain?" Those inexplicable lines or my hallucinations, how could there be such a thing in the universe? I made the mistake, I unconsciously manipulated the ship to adjust its course under the influence of hallucinations, which is why I hit something...... I...... I almost killed everyone...... I...... I'm sorry...... Captain....... ”
Speaking of this, Saipu covered his face and cried bitterly, at this time he was already convinced that he was suffering from some kind of disease, maybe there was a problem with the brain he said, or a mental delusion, which caused such a mistake. Thankfully, it's all gone now, if the ship crashes because of him. Then even if he dies, Saipu can't forgive himself.
Dada's brow furrowed even more when Saipu said this, and he hesitated before telling Saipu the results of their inspection of the ship. It is now certain that the entire Explorer spacecraft is intact, there are no traces of impact, either inside or outside, and everything is normal.
"What!"
The crying Saipu suddenly froze. Suddenly looked up at Dada. Dada nodded vigorously again, repeating the words, and when he was sure that he had heard correctly, Sai Pu showed an incredulous expression.
"This ...... How is this possible? We were indeed hit just now, how could it be ...... with such a strong shock? ”
"Saipu, this is also a point that we can't understand, you are the party, maybe you can tell us the answer."
"It's ......."
Saipu was speechless. His mind was in a mess now, he thought about whether this was the captain Dada comforting him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, but if it wasn't for comfort, everything was true, how could this be explained? After a while, Sai Pu couldn't come up with an explanation that could be explained, and he could only tell Dada to adjust the ship's course. Go back to the airspace where the vibration occurred and search for it.
Dada thought about it for a moment and felt that Saipu's suggestion was the only solution to the doubt. Nodding his head, he agreed. Then, Dada personally sat in front of the main control station and began to determine and adjust the course, preparing to return to the area where the vibration had just occurred, and now not much time has passed, just over an hour. They were not far from that area, and at the normal speed and course adjustment, they would be able to return to the place of the incident in two hours at most.
But just as Dada was manipulating the computer and preparing to start heading positioning and adjustment, Dada, who had just entered a command, suddenly stopped manipulating his hands, and he stared at the numbers displayed on the screen. Then he looked up at the cosmic space in front of him, and then looked down again.
"Captain?"
The other astronaut who was the assistant was already ready, and it could be seen that the captain Dada was slow to start the course order, and couldn't help but urge.
"This ...... That's impossible! Dada's gaze flicked back and forth between the screen and the cosmic space in front of him, with an incredible expression on his face.
"What can't be? Captain, what's wrong with you? ”
"Compare the route map now, quick!"
Dada turned his head and shouted at his deputy, and then the ten fingers quickly manipulated in the computer, and the astronaut of the assistant didn't understand what was going on, and his terminal received Dada's instructions, although he didn't understand the captain's order, but at the same time immediately executed.
A few minutes later, this time it was Dada's turn to assist the astronaut in shock, and he showed the same expression as Dada just now, staring at the results of the route map displayed in front of him in amazement.
"Ship...... Captain...... Did I miscalculate? Or am I reading it wrong? This...... I'm sorry, I'll ...... again. ”
The crew shook their heads vigorously, as if they wanted to throw out the ridiculous conclusions in their heads, but the second calculation and comparison result was still the same as the first, and the result was still the same, and this time the crew was going crazy.
"How?" Dada asked nervously.
"Look...... But...... It's impossible! ”
Dada glanced at the results, and in fact, the other party's comparison result was the same as his, which means that the two of them made the same comparison result. In contrast, there is no difference between the two, but the problem is, as the crew said, it is simply incredible.
The results of the comparison were clearly placed in front of them, and according to the comparison of the route map, the position of the universe where they were now was actually very different from the position of the original route. That's right, the difference is enormous, so big that they simply can't imagine it.
What does it mean that if the route comparison hadn't gone wrong, they would have been 0.37 light-years away from where the original route should have been? You must know that it has taken 2 years since they set off from the planet Dhaka, and the Explorer spacecraft has not even flown a distance of 0.1 light years, but now they have inexplicably flown a distance of 0.37 light years at once, how is this possible!
Reason told Dada that this was impossible, how fast the Explorer spacecraft was flying, Dada as the captain knew very well in his heart, but now the facts were in front of them, whether it was the comparison of the route map or the distance calculation of the space stars in the outer universe, it showed this result, they did fly a distance of 0.37 light years, there is no doubt about it.
When Dada told everyone about the result, everyone was stunned, especially Sai Pu, who couldn't imagine why this happened. However, after calming down, Saipu has regained his sanity as a scientist, and he can't figure out what is going on in the face of this unexplained problem.
"Are those lines?" The aura flashed in Saipu's mind, and he suddenly thought of the lines that appeared inexplicably, and the strange thing was that when the shaking was over, Saipu, who looked at the universe again, did not see those lines again, as if everything before was really an illusion, and everything was something that did not exist.
Lines, lines, what the hell is this? Saipu pondered for a long time, and at the same time used his professional knowledge to judge the reason why the ship flew so far at once. As a physicist, Saipu's knowledge of speed is the most expert of all, and he also knows that the speed of light in the universe is the fastest, and no speed can be faster than the speed of light.
Even if they were flying at the speed of light just now, it would not have been possible to reach such a long distance in such a short time. So, is it possible to fly faster than the speed of light? The answer is yes. The people of Dhaka have reached the level of the twenty-first century in physics, and the theoretical study of space and speed has been established. As a professional scientist, Saipu knows that there are several situations that may occur beyond the speed of light, one of which is the curvature of space, using the ubiquitous curvature of space, the speed of the spacecraft can reach a certain degree of flight beyond the speed of light.
When this speculation suddenly popped out of Saipu's heart, he was suddenly frightened by himself, as a person, how could he see the existence of curvature? But if this is not the case, then how can the facts before them be explained? (To be continued.) )
