Chapter 270, the thrilling space-time current
The space-time current, the passage connecting the star systems, although it can reach another star system in a very short time through the space-time current, but this space-time current is obviously very different from the normal space-time environment, because the speed of the aircraft and the others in it is flying beyond the speed of light, so even a small asteroid is enough to bring a fatal blow to the spacecraft.
Yu Liang, Luo Xiaoyao, Tang Boyuan, Gu Feng and others all looked very nervous at this time, and the news obtained from the Lorne civilization was that the spaceship that Scat ~ Yong was riding when he arrived in the solar system from the Canis Major Galaxy was scarred and suffered heavy damage in the current of time and space.
Scat ~ Zhi Na is even more unlucky, with more than a dozen large spaceships, and even in the end only 3 spaceships arrived in the solar system, one of which has basically been scrapped, only the "Mosa the Great" is in relatively good condition, and the "Clover" spacecraft has been hit hard, otherwise it would not be so easy to be destroyed by the 2 waves of 6 spaceships led by Douglas and others.
It can be seen that flying in the space-time current is definitely a very dangerous thing, and if you are unlucky, you are likely to be buried directly in the space-time current.
Although the "Kyushu" spaceship that everyone is riding is the pinnacle of current science and technology, especially because they know that it is very dangerous in the space-time currents, they have also used a lot of scientific and technological means to increase the defense capability of the spacecraft in advance, but everyone actually does not have much confidence in their hearts.
The pitch-black Kuiper brought the void, dark and cold, and the "Kyushu" spaceship began to slow down slowly in the void, and under the silent prayers of everyone, the spacecraft flew into an area that looked like it was no different from other voids.
Everyone in the spaceship only felt that the world in front of them suddenly became brighter, and the dark starry sky outside disappeared all at once, replaced by a colorful streamer-like world.
In the ocean currents of time and space, it seems that everything suddenly becomes fast, and countless streamers continue to flash from the side, these streamers are colorful and exude a misty halo, which makes people look very comfortable and feel like paradise here.
"It's beautiful!"
Tang Boyuan looked at the scenery outside, the whole person seemed to be fascinated, and said softly, taking care of the dark and starry world of the universe, and suddenly saw the colorful space-time currents, forming a strong contrast, at this time, not only Tang Boyuan, but everyone on the entire spaceship was attracted by the beautiful scenery outside.
"What are these streamers? Is it light? Is it the light in the normal void? It's just that because we're moving faster than the speed of light, we're able to see the light very clearly. ”
Yu Liang is a scientist, but at this time, his mind is thinking about what these streamers are, as if he has discovered a new continent, and his heart is full of curiosity.
"Turn on the gravitational field defense!"
As the deputy captain, Luo Xiaoyao was relatively calmer, and ordered to quickly turn on the gravity field defense system, which is also a derivative of anti-gravity technology, the principle is to use strong gravity to unload the objects attacking the spacecraft with the principle of same-sex repulsion.
Theoretically speaking, if the gravity field defense technology is studied to the top level, even the energy attack on the spacecraft can be unloaded, of course, it has just begun to develop, far from reaching that level, scientists estimate that at most some objects with relatively small mass can be unloaded, and the rail cannon or something under the defense should still have a good effect.
At this time, the gravitational field defense is used to defend against fast-flying asteroids in the space-time currents, etc., if the mass of the asteroid is not too large, it can also play a certain role.
"Yes, all units are ready to deal with what may happen at any time, and don't take off everyone's spacesuits, just in case."
Hearing Luo Xiaoyao's words, Yu Liang also reacted, and hurriedly ordered, just attracted by the beautiful scenery but almost forgot that this time and space current is full of danger.
Everyone on the spaceship was extremely nervous, and they were ready to deal with the crisis at any time in their own posts, but after waiting and waiting, several days passed, and the spaceship was still safe and sound in the current of time and space, and did not encounter any problems, which made the people who had been nervous slowly relax.
"Let's not be too nervous, I estimate that it will take a few months to sail in this space-time current, if we can encounter meteorite impacts every day, we estimate that we will definitely have to finish playing, now that I think about it, the spaceships of the Lorne civilization and so on should only encounter one or two meteorite impacts, and they are not often hit by meteorites."
Yu Liang also looked a little tired at this time, and his nerves were very tired for several days, at this time, he kept thinking about it, and finally figured out the key to this, so he also knew that there should not be too many meteorite impacts in the space-time current, otherwise he could directly announce that the game was over.
Things were indeed as Yu Liang expected, the "Kyushu" spacecraft flew in the space-time current for 2 weeks without any incident, and it was smooth sailing.
The people on the ship have gradually relaxed, and even the colorful world outside has lost their attention, and after watching it for a long time, they feel that there is nothing unusual, in fact, it is like that.
"Bump!"
Until the 26th day after the spacecraft entered the space-time current, everyone on the spaceship was enjoying their own space-time journey as usual, and suddenly, the spacecraft trembled violently, and a loud noise made everyone on the spacecraft like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, and they were instantly stunned.
"Where was it hit? What about the damage? ”
Yu Liang, Luo Xiaoyao, Tang Boyuan, Gu Feng and others all hurried to the control center of the spaceship, and hurriedly asked eagerly, at this time, their faces were ugly, revealing solemn and worried looks.
"Just now, on the right side of our spacecraft, a meteorite with a mass of only a few hundred kilograms crashed into our spacecraft from the upper side, but under the action of the gravitational field, its trajectory changed, and it hit the top position on the right side of our spacecraft."
"Luckily, the damage to our spacecraft was very small, the shell was originally made of new reinforced materials, and it was hit to the very top position after changing direction, so it can be said that it only scratched some skin."
The computer on the spacecraft simulated the impact just now, and the self-inspection system also checked the status of the spacecraft.
"Whew! Scared the hell out of me. ”
Tang Boyuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"If it weren't for the protection of the gravitational field, the meteorite of a few hundred kilograms just now would be enough to directly hit the right side of our spacecraft, fortunately, its mass is not large, and the position of the impact is relatively small, and the gravitational field can be regarded as passing by, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, no wonder the spaceships of the Lorne civilization are scarred one by one, and it is estimated that many of them were hit by meteorites with very small mass."
"Those big wounds and big holes were created by the impact of some hundreds of kilograms, thousands of kilograms of asteroids, and it would be terrible to encounter a meteorite with a much greater mass."
Yu Liang was also scared for a while, and secretly rejoiced that although the current gravity field technology is not too powerful, it is still very effective in defending against the impact of some small meteorites, and he saved the life of the spacecraft just now.
"Well, hopefully our luck won't be too bad."
Luo Xiaoyao, Gu Feng and others also nodded, everyone's nerves tightened again, the space-time current is still full of danger, all that can be done now is to pray, the gravity field technology is just starting now, the effect is actually very limited, once it encounters a meteorite or asteroid with too much mass, if it hits it head-on, the spacecraft will definitely be hit hard.
The spacecraft continued to move rapidly in the currents of space, and then calmed down for more than 2 weeks, and the spacecraft did not encounter any meteorite impacts.
"It's the 40th day, almost 1 and a half months, I estimate that we have about half a month to fly out of the space-time current, and the Centauri galaxy is only 4.3 light-years away from the solar system, according to the time Scat ~ Yong stays in the space-time current, we can almost reach the Centauri galaxy in about 2 months."
In the leisure area of the spacecraft, Tang Boyuan and the others chatted while drinking tea, Tang Boyuan calculated the time and estimated the time to arrive in the Centauri galaxy through the space-time current.
"I hope everything goes well, there is still half a month to go."
Gu Feng smiled and prayed, until now it can be said that everything is still very smooth.
"Bump!"
However, as soon as his words fell, the spacecraft shook violently, and a huge impact sound was transmitted, and the tea in everyone's hands fell to the ground at once.
"Let's go, go to the control room."
Everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly, and without hesitation, they immediately got up and went to the command center to check the situation of the spaceship.
"Just now, the spacecraft was hit head-on by a meteorite with a mass of dozens of kilograms, and despite the influence of the gravitational field, the meteorite orbit has undergone some deviations and changes, but our spacecraft is still loaded by this meteorite."
"One of the two rail guns on the top of the ship was directly destroyed, and seven cabins were no longer usable, in general, this time it was relatively lucky, if there was no gravity field and it hit head-on, then we might have casualties this time."
Everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief again, the ship was slightly injured this time, and it could be repaired quickly after arriving in the Centauri system.
"Bump!"
However, the crowd was not happy for long, and the ship trembled again.
