Chapter 990: Wormholes and Hyperspace Passages
In the current scientific understanding of human beings, it is believed that wormholes are spatial tunnels connecting two distant space-times, just like a whirlpool in the ocean.
These space-time vortices are caused by a combination of factors such as star rotation, gravity, dark matter, multidimensional space, and so on.
Wormholes, like whirlpools, are unstable.
However, this instability can be over a large period of time.
For example, a wormhole may only exist for a few thousand years, but on the time scale of the universe, it can be seen as a type that disappears in an instant.
In the universe, wormholes do exist.
A spatial rift is essentially a wormhole.
Through the rift in space, it is possible to reach the beast planet from Earth directly, spanning a distance of a thousand light-years.
As you can imagine, wormholes are indeed space tunnels that can travel quickly in the universe.
However, the creation and disappearance of wormholes are difficult to control.
It is impossible to determine where the wormhole will appear or where it will lead.
Therefore, the detection of wormholes is a very important research field for advanced civilizations.
Stargate is a technology in this field that is used to stabilize wormholes and achieve the purpose of transgalactic navigation.
The General Staff of the Supreme Council of Human Civilization collected and summarized all the information about wormholes through questioning Rahu and the cleaners.
Scientists from various fields in the Super Tech Lab come together to discuss wormhole research.
"Wormholes are indeed an important research direction in the future, but at present, it is of little significance for humans to start this project." An opinion published by a scientist.
This is actually the view of most people.
"According to the aggregated information, it is impossible to predict where the wormhole will be generated, and it is also impossible to predict where it will lead......
The scientist went on to explain his point: "In the Palassee civilization, they would detect a large number of wormholes, mark them on the star map, and connect the connected wormholes.
"In this way, lines will be formed on the star map, and they call these lines hyperspace passages.
"It's easy to understand the name, if galaxy A has a wormhole leading to galaxy B, and galaxy B has a wormhole leading to galaxy C.
"At this time, the fastest way for a spaceship to get from galaxy A to galaxy C is to take the hyperspace route.
"First pass through the wormhole from galaxy A to galaxy B, and then pass through the wormhole from galaxy B to galaxy C to galaxy C.
"And the important hyperspace channel wormhole will be built into a stargate and become the main channel.
"Have you noticed that this is very similar to the railroad that we humans built?
"However, in order to truly form a hyperspace waterway network, you need to master enough wormholes.
"And we don't have this kind of conditions, so it is difficult to make a profit in the short term by studying wormholes and hyperspace waterways.
"Research is definitely going to be done, but as a major research project, it's not appropriate."
The astrophysical scientist spoke very clearly, and in fact, most of the scientists who participated in the conference knew why.
"In fact, the fundamental reason hindering the establishment of hyperspace shipping lanes is the difficulty of detecting wormholes, which is a huge investment for human beings, but the benefits are extremely low......"
Immediately afterwards, Da Liu took over the topic and said their team's opinion: "For example, let's say there is a wormhole in the solar system that leads to other star systems, but we don't know where.
"So what to do? If we want to use this wormhole, we need to find it first.
"Suppose humans have the technology to detect wormholes, but the detection range is only a hundred kilometers. Let's have a book
"Then if you want to find this wormhole, you have to drive a spaceship to all corners of the solar system to find it.
"However, the solar system is 4 light-years in diameter, and at this stage, even if we develop a curvature engine, the fastest speed is 1% of the speed of light.
"It takes 400 years to travel from one end of the solar system to the other, not to mention that if you want to detect wormholes, you can't fly at the fastest speed.
"It's just a walk along the diameter, and if you want to find every corner of the solar system, it won't be completed in tens of thousands of years.
"Moreover, this is still assuming that there are wormholes in the solar system, and if there are no wormholes in the solar system, then there will be no harvest for this labor.
"Therefore, at this stage, human beings have not yet reached the level of civilization required for hyperspace waterway technology."
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.
Fang Yuan had actually thought about this problem, and knew that it was not possible to rely on humans to detect wormholes by themselves at this stage.
If you want to use a wormhole to sail across galaxies in a short period of time, there is only one way.
"From Rahu and the cleaners, do you have any data about wormholes? Is there anything in the spaceship computer? ”
"The important data in the spaceship's computer was destroyed when the spacecraft was breached, so basically only information could be obtained from Rahu and the cleaners." Zhao Anya spread her hands and expressed helplessness about this.
In fact.
This was to be expected.
After all, the Palese civilization and the carbon-based alliance have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and conflicts between civilizations occur from time to time, and such secrecy methods must exist.
With the current level of science and technology of mankind, there is no chance to prevent the Palasse civilization spacecraft from destroying the data.
If it weren't for Eve's bug-class "Mechanical Heart", humans wouldn't even be able to repair the "Counterattack" Star Destroyer.
"Then take out the data from the brains of Rahu and the cleaners, even if you don't know the specific coordinates, there must be an approximate direction." Fang Yuan said.
"There are already colleagues in charge of this, and I will report back after the information is summarized." Zhao Anya agreed.
……
In the afternoon.
Fang Yuan received the wormhole data from Zhao Anya.
These wormhole data are all asked from the mouths of Rahu and the cleaners, so the data is not precise coordinate data.
It's what kind of wormhole they remember, in such and such a star system.
Although it is not precise coordinate data, it is enough to have this information.
The next day, Fang Yuan was at the Space Fleet headquarters, announcing that he would send the Counterattack Star Destroyer to confirm the accuracy of these wormhole information.
"This task is carried out by the military scientific research class, and I will personally be in charge of it." Fang Yuan decided to go in person.
"Wouldn't that be good, if you leave, ......" Someone expressed concern.
After all, Fang Yuan was now the strongest person on the earth, and his strength had been tested by actual combat again and again.
On the earth, the green dragon is an existence that stands at the peak of combat power, and no one dares to challenge it.
If the strongest god of war on earth leaves, it will always be very worrying if something happens.
So, the top brass of one of the allies expressed concern.
"The location of these wormholes is equivalent to the hyperspace shipping lanes of advanced civilizations, and if there is danger, these places are the most dangerous. I will personally take charge of this task and drive the counterattack, and it won't take too long. Fang Yuan ignored these people's worries and made a decision directly.
