The establishment of the hyperspace jump module has enabled mankind to have the ability to march into outer space for the first time.

However, the structural strength of the spacecraft was not enough, and after the first hyperspace jump, scientists conducted a structural inspection of the ship's hull and found a large number of cracks, indicating that the material technology is not up to par.

The young scientists continued to analyze the wreckage of the alien spacecraft, and found that the various properties of the imitation materials exceeded the original alien spacecraft wreckage, but why cracks appeared after the jump became the focus of scientists' attention.

Soon, scientists came up with a hypothesis that no material alone could support long, long, and multiple hyperspace jumps on its own, and that the spacecraft itself should provide an energy protection that would reduce or prevent the destructive power of the wormhole subspace force on the spacecraft itself with each hyperspace jump.

As soon as this point of view was put forward, it immediately attracted the attention of the military.

In response to this problem, the military uses state-of-the-art quantum computers to analyze the size and weight of each piece of wreckage, and then reassemble it in the computer to restore the original appearance of the alien spacecraft.

Finally, in the restored alien spacecraft, the quantum computer discovered a special energy release device, similar to a protective shield, which had been thought to be a weapon system.

This is a special system that releases energy to protect the spacecraft itself during hyperspace jumps, and scientists have been working on it, calling it a shield.

After three years of hard work, scientists have created the first shield system, and humans can only use two types of space energy, electricity and magnetism. Therefore, the first protective cover is also made of electromagnetic composition.

When the spacecraft makes a hyperspace jump, this shield system opens at the same time, creating a strong electromagnetic field. It is used to combat the destruction of subspace energy within the wormhole.

The effect is obvious, and after using the hyperspace jump of the electromagnetic shield system, the scientists found that the damage to the spacecraft was greatly reduced, indicating that the research was in the right direction.

Subsequently, scientists tried to obtain subspace energy for research at the moment the wormhole opened, which was too costly. The energy in the subspace only proceeds at the moment of the hyperspace jump.

But scientists always move forward, and it took years to do this, after making a dozen hyperspace jumps. Eventually, scientists discovered the properties of subspace energy and developed protective measures against this property.

The subspace is filled with positive matter and antimatter, which have reached an ideal equilibrium state, that is, no annihilation. It doesn't go away.

As conceived by scientists. The length of the hyperspace jump is expressed in how long it can maintain this delicate equilibrium, and the longer the positive matter and antimatter remain in equilibrium after the wormhole is opened, the longer the wormhole lasts, and the farther the space jump will be.

The positive matter and antimatter released by the hyperspace jumping module to maintain this equilibrium state are used instantaneously and will not be turned on in the wormhole, so the balance in the wormhole cannot be maintained. Causes hyperspace to jump not far away.

As soon as scientists found out about this situation, they had a solution. If the hyperspace jump module can continuously release antimatter to replenish the wormhole consumption after the wormhole is opened, then it will jump farther.

So, scientists made a bold attempt, and the Earth government military also sent volunteers to participate.

A new type of spacecraft has been built, equipped with a hyperspace jump module system that releases antimatter for a long time, and a new shield energy module system that uses electromagnetic technology to continuously release positive energy on the surface of the spacecraft to counteract antimatter erosion, and fifteen volunteers will participate in a long-distance hyperspace jump test.

"Prepare for a hyperspace jump!"

With the activation of the hyperspace jumping module system, fifteen volunteers sat in the bridge command room, and through their large screens, they could see the wormhole opening to subspace.

The scientists outside could not see the space wormhole, they could only feel the violent shaking of the space around the spacecraft, and then the spacecraft slowly disappeared from beginning to end, as if it had been wiped off by a huge rag, and then disappeared.

"No news yet?"

It's been three days, and there is still no news of the spaceship, which has attracted Zhang Meng's attention, and he immediately inquired about it.

Li Qiong replied: "Now there are two possibilities, one is that this hyperspace jump test failed, and the spacecraft and volunteers are submerged in the subspace. The other situation is that they succeeded, but the distance of the jump was too far, and according to our current cosmic communication transmission speed, the communication has not yet been transmitted. ”

"I hope it's the latter!" Zhang Meng didn't want to fail, after all, a spaceship was expensive, and it would be too much of a loss if it was lost.

Half a year later, just as the Earth government was about to announce the failure of the hyperspace jump plan, the Earth space station received a report indicating that the spacecraft had successfully escaped from hyperspace, and its current location was unknown.

"Unknown?" Zhang Meng asked in surprise.

Li Qiong explained to Zhang Meng: "That's the case! According to the communication time, our spacecraft sent us a report just after jumping out of hyperspace, and half a year has passed since we received it. This means that our spacecraft is out of the solar system, somewhere within the Milky Way. ”

"Can't be sure where they are?" Zhang Meng asked.

"Since we didn't consider that this hyperspace jump would break through the solar system, there was no star map installed on the spacecraft. However, even if the ship is equipped with a star map, they will get lost once they are out of the solar system. Because the star map we see on Earth is only a two-digit planar map, once we leave the Earth, we will see a three-dimensional spatial map, and each galaxy is actually trillions of light-years away or even farther away, and it is impossible to judge our own position at all. ”

Zhang Meng suddenly frowned and asked, "Then they can't come back?" ”

Li Qiong smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's like this!" ”

Zhang Meng was silent, and only said after a while: "Then what if we do a hyperspace jump in the future, what will we do after we go beyond the solar system?" ”

Li Qiong replied: "Please rest assured, we will start the three-dimensional star map drawing outside the solar system, and we will definitely be able to draw a star map that will not get lost before the next test." ”

Zhang Meng nodded, the matter had come to this, and he had no better way.

Any test has to be risky, this time the fifteen volunteers can't come back, Zhang Meng needs to explain to the whole world. (To be continued......)
