Chapter 680: Interstellar

At this time, no one could have predicted how the Wandering Earth planned to save the Three-Body Civilization from dire straits, let alone its true purpose.

However, one concern is very obvious, that is, the wandering Earth to the three-body galaxy must cross a distance of 4.2 light years, even at the speed of light, it will take more than four years.

During this period, it is difficult to say that there will be no variables, after all, there is only a three-year difference between the destruction of the United Fleet by the first droplet and the successful elimination of nine droplets by the Asian Fleet.

Coupled with the fact that the three-body civilization is in the stage of technological explosion, all this has become even more confusing.

Just when people are so worried, the wandering earth has long been prepared.

In the vicinity of Pluto in the solar system, the Central Academy of Sciences has been working on a top-secret project a year ago, using mainly real gemstones, transforming conventional matter into dark matter and gathering it into a special form.

Even in the era when mankind is fully committed to exploiting the solar system, Pluto's status is still similar to that of Antarctica in the age of Earth, and it is a place that is inaccessible.

After all, it has been expelled from the ranks of the nine planets, which has made this planet even more unpopular, and I am afraid that people remember it because of this incident.

But this time, Pluto is going to change its face from now on, and it's a shame before the snow!

Because this will become the gateway for human beings to enter and exit the solar system in the future, a transportation hub to the world, and even the most prosperous place in the solar system except for the earth.

All of this comes from the magical dark matter technology, which allows the Wandering Earth to break through certain limitations of this world.

When the Wandering Earth reaches Pluto, the secrets of all this are gradually revealed.

A vague celestial body appeared near Pluto, with a large, smooth sphere and a sparkling star on its surface, just like the world's roundest sphere ever built, only magnified hundreds of billions of times.

Originally, it was thought that starlight on the surface came from the reflection of the universe, like the absolutely smooth surface of water droplets.

However, if they look closely, they will realize that they are wrong, these starlights are not from the specular reflection, but from the inside of the sphere!

Even these starlight will change over time, just like the starry sky on Earth.

If you want to describe it, this sphere is a miniature universe that contains thousands of worlds, making it difficult to tell what it is.

What's more, it appears near Pluto, much larger than Pluto, almost to the point of Jupiter, but without the massive gravitational pull of Jupiter, as if it were just a shadow without mass.

At this time, Qiao Lu had already returned to the Wandering Earth on the Ark, and he also saw this surprising scene.

"What the hell did you do?" He asked Ding Yi.

I feel that after staying in the microcosm for two years, Qiao Lu can no longer keep up with the technology of the wandering earth.

Ding Yi replied, "It's very simple, we have built a wormhole with dark matter, and with it, we can quickly reach the constellation Centauri." ”

"Wormholes? Are you sure it's not a black hole? ”

Qiao Lu looked at the pitch-black surface of this sphere, if it weren't for the dotted starlight, I'm afraid it would make people think that this is a black hole that devours everything.

Ding Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, a black hole is not a hole." You should know that black holes are extremely massive celestial bodies, and if this kind of thing appeared in the solar system, none of the nine planets would be able to escape. ”

"But do you call this a hole?"

Qiao Lu looked at the dark matter wormhole again, it was a sphere from any angle, very different from any wormhole he had seen before.

"Well, strictly speaking, it's a spherical hole, and it's essentially a projection of high-dimensional space in a low-dimensional space, with almost no mass."

This would explain why it is so large and does not create a huge gravitational force.

But all this still made Qiao Lu feel incredible, it was as if he had broken the laws of this world.

"It's not that it's impossible to make a leap in this universe, why can this wormhole work again?"

Ding Yi smiled: "Because what we do is no longer the same!" I said before that we can't make a flip because there is no hyperspace in this universe, and in essence, we use high-dimensional space, that is, the distortion of hyperspace, to fold over, but now that hyperspace doesn't exist, of course, there is no way to make a space flip. ”

"But what we're doing now is using dark matter to reconstruct a high-dimensional space, and then use this high-dimensional space to help us reach other corners of the universe."

"For example, hyperspace is like a highway in the universe, it used to be used to move fast. When we first arrived, we found that the highways of this world had been destroyed, and of course there was no way to make a spatial leap. ”

"But now, we've learned to rebuild a highway. That's right, it's not just about using, it's about being able to build! Of course, it's not very long, only 4.2 light years, which is very small for this universe, but it is a great progress for us humans! ”

4.2 light-years is not considered to be very long, and Qiao Lu has a new understanding of these astronomical units.

However, according to Ding Yi, this may indeed be the first step for human beings to step into a high-dimensional civilization, after all, it is undoubtedly a qualitative leap from being able to use it to being able to build.

With this dark matter wormhole, the wandering Earth no longer needs to go through long interstellar travel, and now it may not take even a month to reach the three-body galaxy, such progress is simply incredible.

"We're coming!"

During the time when the two were talking, the Wandering Earth was already close to the dark matter wormhole, a huge wormhole surface like Jupiter, covering the sky and the sun over the Wandering Earth.

At this moment, the wandering earth seems to fall into another universe, just like falling into Jupiter, which is a gas giant, and begins to immerse itself in the surface of the wormhole.

Fortunately, the dark matter wormhole itself has almost no mass, so there is no problem of being torn apart by gravity beyond the Loch limit.

In the next second, the wandering earth entered a space that was constantly distorting and deforming, as if the entire universe had been bent into a channel, and the stars that were originally so distant that they were incalculable now seemed to be within reach.

Ding Yi said excitedly: "I'm ready to say goodbye to the solar system, and we are here with the constellation Centaur!" ”

Centauri, the original destination of the Wandering Earth, where it was once expected to take 2,500 years to reach, is now almost instantaneous.

Of course, this is not the Centauri constellation that the Wandering Earth originally wanted to reach, but the three-body galaxy composed of three stars where the three-body civilization is located!
