The jump flight was completed after passing through the strange space tunnel formed by the starry sky, and the brain started the curvature engine at the same time according to the captain's instructions, and the huge Vanguard exploration spacecraft entered the curvature flight.
Different from the jump flight, after the Pioneer entered the curvature flight, the three-dimensional space of the universe no longer looked as gorgeous and dazzling as the previous space tunnel, the starry sky of the universe was no longer scattered, and the starlight was no longer constantly flying and stretching in the center to the surroundings. However, after the curvature of the flight, the universe now looks like a different shape, just like the entire starry sky suddenly becomes distorted in the haha mirror, and it is like looking ahead through the steaming air on the hot road, which makes people feel a little blurry when they look at it.
The Pioneer Exploration Ship is a huge spaceship, the owner of the spaceship, that is, the captain of this spaceship, Ike, of course, the name Ike is not his full name, according to the habit of the Rand civilization, Ike's name is very long, and Ike is just the opening of his name with more than a dozen words of syllables.
And now, Su Yichen's mind is imprisoned in Ike's body, he doesn't know why this is happening, and he doesn't know what happened to Ike and the Rand civilization he is in.
In the process of flying at curvature, Su Yichen received some information from nowhere, which only told him in bits and pieces that the Rand civilization was one of the tens of thousands of civilizations in the galaxy, and Ike was only a member of the Rand civilization and a well-known explorer of the universe.
The Pioneer spacecraft belonged to Ike himself, and his initial goal was to explore the edge of the galaxy, with the ultimate goal of flying out of the galaxy and toward the Andromeda galaxy.
It was a great voyage, something that almost no one had ever done in the history of the Rand civilization. For this voyage, Ike prepared for a long time before embarking on the journey.
Ike has traveled 7,000 light-years from the home planet of the Rand civilization to the present, which is a long journey for Ike even with the most advanced jump flight technology.
The Pioneer is a large spacecraft, and when Ike gave instructions to the spaceship's brain, the spacecraft completed its jump flight and turned to a curvature flight, then stood up and walked out of the central control room. At this time, borrowing Ike's body, Su Yichen fully saw the incomparably huge central control room where "he" was located, the total length of the entire spaceship was 5 kilometers, and the widest was 3 kilometers, the shape was like a huge cigar, and the central control room occupied a vast space of 2000 square meters, in addition to a large number of equipment in the spacecraft, it also has a completely natural circulation of the ecosystem, which is mainly due to the survival needs of long-term space travel, according to the setting of this ecosystem, As long as there are no accidents, it can continue in an endless cycle to provide the normal life of the people on the spaceship.
In addition to these, the Pioneer also has a complete real yàn room and several storage spaces, which Ike uses to analyze and store various animal and plant specimens collected on the planet he stayed on along the way, as well as some rare ores and other exotic things.
As a well-known explorer and scientist, Ike is also a scientist, and he is confident that he will embark on this unprecedented expedition and will be well prepared before setting off.
On the entire Vanguard, there is no one else except Ike, the technology of the Rand civilization is extremely developed, such a huge spaceship can completely rely on the intelligent brain of the spaceship during the voyage, not to mention, there are nearly 100 people on the Pioneer to assist in the work, of course, the ultimate master of the Pioneer is of course Ike himself.
Target 17321-55871-61106, a small galaxy that Ike had set up in advance before departure, will make a brief stop in this system before moving on to the next location. The Pioneer continued to fly at a curvature beyond the speed of light, and arrived at the position of 17321-55871-61106 after 7 hours, where Ike stayed for a few days, collected and recorded the information of this small galaxy and then set off again, and in the following days, Ike chose several small galaxies to stay, and the process was almost no different from that in 17321-55871-61106, basically according to the program for data collection, sampling and scientific records, etc.
This is a very long journey, from the beginning of Su Yichen's feeling to the present Ike, the boring journey is a little boring, but Ike is happy to do it. The journey of more than 7,000 light years was only a small part of Ike's entire voyage, because his journey was still very long.
The boring journey continued, just when Su Yichen thought that Ike would continue all the way until he flew out of the Milky Way, and thus went to the Andromeda Galaxy, he suddenly had an unforeseen accident during a jump flight, due to the sudden explosion of a supernova at close range, a large amount of cosmic matter was suddenly damaged, and the Pioneer Intelligence Brain immediately reported the situation to Ike, and at the same time automatically cut off the jump flight, and took the initiative to change the spaceship engine to curvature flight.
In the vast universe, curvature flight, although it can be carried out at the speed of light, is too inefficient and takes too long compared to a jump flight that can travel across small galaxies in a short time. If it's just a small distance, the curvature flight can be so-so, but now Ike is going to perform a feat across the galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy, and it is absolutely impossible to fly with curvature alone.
In order to repair the damaged Jump Engine, Ike immediately used the Pioneer's equipment to search the nearby small galaxies for a suitable location where he could temporarily dock and collect materials to repair the engine. Ike's luck seemed to be good, and after a few hours of searching, the brain reported to him that there was a small galaxy about 9 light-years away from the Pioneer that was a perfect fit, and that this small galaxy actually had a planet that had already given birth to life.
Upon receiving this information, Ike immediately ordered the ship to adjust its course, and the Vanguard drew a graceful arc in the universe and flew towards the small galaxy.
At a distance of 9 light years, it takes a lot of time to fly by curvature, and when it was nearly a month later, the Pioneer arrived at its destination and came to the periphery of this small galaxy, and at this time Ike was sitting in a chair in the central control room, his front was a three-dimensional starry sky, and in his hand was the whole map of this small galaxy that Zhizhi had analyzed and constructed.
The galaxy is truly called a small galaxy because it has only one young star and eight large planets orbiting the star, as well as about 176 moons of varying sizes and other small objects. According to the brain's search, one of the materials necessary to repair the jump engine is in the strata of the four planets that revolve around the star. The Vanguard flew directly to the planet and dropped gathering equipment on the planet to gather materials for the repair engine.
Harvesting takes time, and due to the special circumstances of the jump engine, it is more cumbersome to repair, and after the ore is collected, it needs to be refined and processed in a complex way before it can be officially repaired. It takes a long time, and it takes about a few days, as humans understand it. However, for Ike, who has a long journey and an extremely long life, this time is only a small part of his vast universe, not to mention that as long as the engine can be repaired smoothly, it will be worth the long time.
However, during this time, Ike was not idle, and the collection and other work were naturally arranged by the Brain and the Brain, and he turned his attention to the third planet of this small galaxy, that is, the planet that the Brain discovered during the search that had appeared primitive life.
After the completion of the delivery and acquisition equipment, the Pioneer flew towards the planet of life, and soon the planet in the universe became clearer and clearer, when he could clearly see the appearance of this planet in the three-dimensional display map with the naked eye, Ike, who had been to countless planets, couldn't help but exclaim, because this is a planet that looks extremely beautiful, in the boundless dark universe, its azure color is so eye-catching and charming, and at this time Su Yichen also recognized it at a glance, because it is his own earth.
