Chapter 821 - At the Edge of the Solar System

At a distance of 150 AU from the Earth (the astronomical unit is the distance from the Earth to the Sun, about 150 million kilometers), even the Sun is dim, and there is darkness, coldness, and dead silence everywhere.

Suddenly, a high-speed moving point of light pierced through the darkness and appeared in the void.

After a few moments, the point of light broke away from its speed of movement of 50,000 km/s in an unimaginable way and entered a relatively stationary state. The stationary point of light suddenly expanded, changing its shape dramatically, and eventually turned into a somersault cloud III spaceship.

The somersault cloud III is the highest level of scientific and technological products of human beings on the earth so far, its hull is synthesized using six-level subspace configuration technology and seven-level material technology, which can intelligently adjust the volume and shape according to the specific situation, and presents a spherical shape under normal conditions, with a diameter of up to 1 kilometer, and automatically becomes a point of light when flying at full speed. The hull subspace is managed and maintained using space rules, and can automatically synthesize various artificial environments that human members like, and produce the necessary materials for life.

Its SAI system is designed by the seventh-level plus Star Soul coding technology, which not only draws on the experience and advantages of the Lin Fu subsystem, but also maintains relative independence, using 100,000 high-quality Star Soul Primordial Bodies as support at the hardware level.

The PS III power system completely subverts pre-apocalyptic concepts and models, and does not require fuel and nuclear energy, nor does it need to inject any substances or gases to gain thrust. It has two sets of power systems that are both integrated and independent of each other: one is based on the Star Soul technology, and the infinite energy contained in the Star Soul Origin itself is retrieved through the Star Soul code; The other is based on supergravity technology, which uses a set of physical devices to sense and manipulate the ubiquitous gravitational force of the universe to gain power. Compared with the two sets of power systems, the former is more direct and efficient because it is close to the power of the universe, and is the main driving force; However, the latter is not an auxiliary power system, and it can still play a role when the Star Soul technology fails.

In addition to the three basic modules of hull subspace, SAI and power system, the somersault cloud III spacecraft can also be equipped with various production, management, combat and life modules according to actual needs. On this spacecraft to explore the unknown area at the edge of the solar system, of course, highly sensitive observation systems and attack and defense systems are indispensable.

This spaceship has 100 human crew members, 300 intelligent mechas, and 1,000 small synthetic intelligent creatures. This is basically standard on every Somersault Cloud III.

Thanks to advanced subspace configurations, the ship's crew doesn't need to live in a cramped, cramped, weightless capsule - in fact, the physics inside the ship are completely customizable, whether it's a town or village, a skyscraper, or a large factory .......

The interior of this spaceship is a towering tree in the desert oasis under the blue sky and white clouds - this is customized according to the preference of the captain's seventh-level star soul powerhouse, Xiao Sa.

Xiao Sa was lying in a huge and fat stamen on the top of this towering tree at this time, stretching his waist.

The spaceship SAI system sent a bird with beautiful feathers to land on the edge of the petals, prompting: "Your Excellency, Captain, you have arrived at your destination, please assign tasks for the members." ”

Xiao Sa withdrew his slender legs from the petals and said to the bird: "Pass my order: activate the defense system and maintain 80% combat readiness." ”

Wen Ying and Meng Meng, members of the original Tianqin Beautiful Girl (now they are all big beauties), peeked out of another flower. The latter asked, "Sister Sa, do we need to be so nervous?" There are no enemies here. ”

Xiao Sa said: "No one has ever been to this kind of place, who can guarantee that there won't be a big-headed ghost or something like that?" It's better to be careful. ”

Wen Ying reminded: "Mr. Lin asked us to conduct an over-distance communication experiment as soon as we arrived at the destination, so let's start it early." There must be a hurry on the other side of the planet. ”

"Let him wait, we're more than 20 billion kilometers away. The so-called generals are outside, and military orders are not subject to it. Xiao Sa said that he would let Lin Zaishan wait, but he didn't dare to be lazy in his actions, and immediately ordered to activate the over-distance communication module.

In the past, human beings on the earth mainly relied on light and electromagnetic for communication, and the speed of radio was as high as 300,000 km/s, which was enough to meet the needs of human beings in most cases; However, with the increase in the scope of human activities in space since the new era of the Federation, communication has become a big problem. At the edge of the solar system, where the distance from the Earth is billions or tens of billions of kilometers, radio transmissions can be delayed by a few hours to dozens of hours.

To this end, the human race on Earth organized a large group of elites to specialize in the problem of over-distance communication. So far, three ways to achieve this have been found:

The first was proposed by the R&D team led by Sam and Zhao Feiyan, which mainly uses the principle of quantum entanglement. They used the Star Soul technology to extract and manipulate the communication quantum, and made the Star Soul quantum computer and communicator.

The second type was designed by a team led by Xu Yuxin and Zhiyangyang, mainly using the subspace configuration technique taught by Lin Zaishan. Since subspace can be used to transmit people and materials, of course, it can also transmit information, and it is more convenient and efficient. They achieve the super-distance transmission of information by creating pairs of subspaces that are both physically separate and integrated on the star soul. For example, if you hold one box on Earth and I hold another box at the edge of the solar system, the boxes we are holding are two different boxes in the sense of three-dimensional space, but in a higher dimension, they are the same box. Since it's the same box, what you put into the box on the ground, I can take it out at the edge of the solar system with almost no time. This is the principle of subspace over-distance transmission and communication. Among the earthlings, Lin Zaishan was the first to master the subspace configuration technique. Xu Yuxin and Zhiyangyang didn't have much originality, but they used their ingenuity to improve the technology of subspace communication.

The third type was proposed by Lin Zaishan, which mainly used the power of cause and effect and the power of faith. These forces are an unfathomable thing for the vast majority of human beings on Earth. After several years of hard work, Lin Zaishan finally realized something and used it creatively to solve the problem of over-distance communication. If our faith can be sensed by a powerful force far away in the higher planes, then it means that the power of faith can transcend time and space. What Lin Zaishan needs is the technical means to sense, observe, compile, and transmit the power of faith. In a purely physical sense, the power of cause and effect and the power of faith are unmeasurable, and certainly cannot be technological; But with the seventh-level plus Star Soul ability, all this is possible. Lin Zaishan called his invention of a communication device based on the power of faith "a flash of inspiration."

The primary mission of the somersault III spacecraft to the edge of the solar system is to test the performance of the three types of telecommunications devices.

Xiao Sa commanded, "Activate the Quantum Communicator." ”

A mechanical device larger than a normal bedroom stretched out in the air, stretching out numerous tentacles.

The staff responded: "The quantum communicator has been activated and can communicate. ”

"Use the quantum communicator to send a message to the Earth headquarters: 'Go back in style' (Xiao Sa's code name for the spacecraft) has arrived at the predetermined location and is conducting quantum communication. Verification code: 73890-09991-21345-a"

The information was transmitted quickly. Everyone in the spaceship waited patiently for the echo from Earth. If we calculate the speed of the radio, it will take more than one day for the news to reach Earth, and it will take two or three days to receive a reply at the earliest.

However, less than 3 seconds, Dr. Sam's voice came from the quantum communicator: "I'm Dr. Sam, and the message you just sent has been received. Verification code: 880021361-89710-1771901-b. ”

Xiao Saxi said: "The verification code is correct, and the quantum entanglement two-way communication is successful!" ”

“Yeah！” Everyone inside the spaceship cheered in unison. On the other end of the quantum communicator, there were also the voices of Dr. Sam, Zhao Feiyan and others celebrating.

Xiao Sa then ordered, "Activate the subspace communicator!" ”

A special palm-sized mobile phone was taken out of the vault by the staff and handed to Xiao Sa. This is the subspace communicator invented by Xu Yuxin and Zhiyangyang, and they both highly favor the traditional mobile phone shape.

Xiao Sa pressed the power button on the phone to activate the subspace communicator. Xiao Sa released information: "Mrs. Xu, how many consecutive victories have you won in the Void Arena recently?" Verification code: SDE21-HJY44-XstoxyX-A. ”

Before Xiao Sa's words fell, Xu Yuxin responded in another paragraph: "It's been 12 consecutive wins, and Mr. Lin thinks I can suspend participating in the competition." By the way, I will give you a small gift, please check. Small gift activation code, you know. Communication verification code: dkk0-xyxtoxs-yik-b. ”

The crowd cheered again. Xiao Sa opened a miniature capsule at the bottom of the special mobile phone amid the cheers of the crowd, took out an object the size of a fingernail from it, and silently recited a spell, and the miniature object immediately expanded into a flying tablet - this kind of transportation tool has been extremely popular on Earth recently.

Xiao Sa made a gesture, gave the flying tablet to Meng Meng, and said, "Let's finish the business first and then play." The last communication experiment below is Uncle Lin's so-called 'inspiration'. Why did this greasy uncle have to give his invention such a superficial and childish name? ”

Wen Ying reminded softly: "Captain, the subspace communicator is still on, and your complaints will be transmitted to the earth word for word......"

"I'll go! Why didn't you remind me earlier? Xiao Sa hurriedly gagged himself and turned off the subspace communication mobile phone. Then he commanded, "Activate 'Inspiration'!" ”

A luminous object the size of a football flew in front of Xiao Sa and reported, "'Inspiration' has been activated and is ready to be used at any time. ”

"You're what you call a 'flash of inspiration,' aren't you? You send me a message: Hello handsome and great Mr. Lin, your product looks too rustic, the colors are too fancy, and the voice is too blunt. Verification code: blabla-520-240-a. ”

Lin Zaishan replied in another paragraph: "Captain in style, your message has been received. I will humbly accept your suggestions to improve the product design. Captcha: L1-Z2-S3-b. ”

Xiao Sa said deliberately: "What did you say?" I can't hear clearly! ”

Lin Zaishan patiently sent a reply again, and Xiao Sa received it to confirm.

The crew cheered again, they had worked hard for 20 billion kilometers to verify the over-range communicator, and now everything is going well, and the three experiments have been declared successful.

Xiao Sa stood on the top of the towering tree and said to the busy crew below: "I order: each person will be rewarded with a glass of seventh-level wine!" ”

"Yay!" And all the people rejoiced.

Xiao Sa added: "Continue to maintain 80% combat alert, and do not relax!" ”
