Chapter 334: Visions
After a short rest, the journey of the Wandering Earth in hyperspace is about to come to an end.
A new plane is coming, and a group of high-ranking members of the coalition government have gathered in the wheelhouse of Earth early to get first-hand information about the new plane.
With a burst of blue light, the Wandering Earth finally rushed out of hyperspace and came to this strange new world.
Surprisingly, however, this time the sky did not brighten up with it, and there was still a chaotic darkness around it, with only the flickering stars in the distance proving that this was not a void hyperspace.
In other words, for the first time now, no new stars have appeared directly around the Wandering Earth.
"What's going on? Where are we? Derek asked his men anxiously.
Li Yiyi hurriedly tapped the keyboard nervously and replied, "Wait a minute, we are scanning." ”
The absence of a new sun in the sky to replace the fading pillar of plasma made the inhabitants of the wandering Earth feel a little uncomfortable for the first time.
Fortunately, the coalition government immediately issued a statement to keep everyone calm, and once again drew energy from the crescent moon to overload the planetary engines, so that the panic did not spread further.
In fact, in terms of probability, if the Wandering Earth always appears in a random location in the new plane universe, then it is normal that it does not appear directly inside the planetary system.
After all, the distribution of galaxies in the universe is like a small island on the sea, and a drop of water thrown into it must have a relatively high probability of falling into the sea, and it is a small probability event to be able to fall on the island.
But Qiao Lu felt that something was wrong no matter what, not only the inertial thinking that there must be a demon when things went wrong, but also that he knew that there was a system behind all this.
So far, the system has not allowed the Wandering Earth to be born too far away from the mission goal, otherwise it would take more than three months just to get on the road, and it would be impossible to complete the mission.
So why didn't the Wandering Earth appear directly inside a planetary system this time, but in a vast cosmic space?
This is definitely not for nothing, however, until now, the system has not sounded any prompts.
What the hell is going on?
While Qiao Lu was still waiting for the system prompt, the coalition government had already taken the lead in completing the scanning of the nearby star fields.
I saw a huge holographic image suddenly flooding the entire earth cab, and countless galaxies appeared in front of everyone's eyes, as if they had seen the entire universe at this moment, among which the wandering earth was as small as a speck of dust.
Next, Li Yiyi's words poured cold water on everyone, making them more aware of how vast this universe is.
"According to the speculation, we are on the cantilevered edge of the Milky Way, but this is the only information that can be speculated, and we have no idea that such a place exists in the Milky Way."
Such a large star map is only a drop in the ocean of the galactic cantilever, but it is enough to feel almost lost. In such a huge star field, where should the wandering earth go?
Just as Qiao Lu was about to ask Li Yiyi about the further situation, Ding Yi, who was in charge of detecting the quantum state of the Wandering Earth, also suddenly discovered an abnormal situation.
Ding Yi shouted to everyone: "Everyone, the reading of the quantum state has also been unstable! ”
"What's going on?"
The successive anomalies made Qiao Lu's brows tighten, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his heart.
Ding Yi quickly calculated the value and said: "Although the probability of quantum collapse to the destructive state is further reduced to one in six, the time of the collapse has been greatly delayed. This time we won't have the next quantum collapse until about six months away, and I don't know if that's good news or bad news. ”
"Six months?"
The sudden extension of the time limit for crossing made Qiao Lu's frowning brow slightly soothed, although this was not without harm, but in the current situation where the situation was not at all understood, the stay time of up to half a year could undoubtedly provide more room for play.
It's just that why did it become half a year? Is this plane special, or is it the same for the next plane? In this case, will the time limit be further extended in the future?
A large number of questions suddenly surged into Qiao Lu's mind, which made him fall into deep thought with a sad face again.
In any case, this time the situation is unprecedented, Qiao Lu just felt that he was a little more comfortable with the work of the navigator, but he didn't expect that there would be so many sudden accidents for a while.
Now he really can't grasp what will happen next, and the system prompt has not arrived for a long time.
Could it be because this time the Wandering Earth has not yet reached the trigger point of the mission? So what will be the key point of the mission this time?
In the past, the actions of the Wandering Earth were basically limited to the interior of a planetary system, and it was clear which planet to explore.
However, this time, the Wandering Earth appeared directly outside the galaxy, which means that they have an infinite number of directions to choose from, which naturally makes people feel confused.
Just when Qiao Lu was still meditating, Luo Feng on the side immediately ordered:
"Anyway, let's go into the nearest galaxy and park into the orbit of the star there. Now we are all overdrawing the bioenergy of the crescent, and it is not good for us to deplete these reserves. ”
Luo Feng's words woke up Qiao Lu, indeed the most urgent problem at the moment is to find a new star for the wandering earth, since it did not appear in the galaxy at the beginning, then going to the nearby galaxy immediately is the first thing to do.
This time the time limit is relatively generous, so the most important thing to do is to stabilize the wandering earth, and then slowly think about it in the long run.
Sure enough, he was still a little flustered, and Qiao Lu couldn't help but reflect on himself so much.
"Indeed, just like the original purpose of the Wandering Earth Project, we will first find a new home for Earth, and then think about Quantum of Allegation. Compared with the previous three months, this time we still have half a year, which is more abundant. ”
Of course, the premise of this abundance is to be able to find the mission target as soon as possible, otherwise looking for an energy source that can allow the wandering earth to travel to the next plane in such a vast universe is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and half a year will not be sufficient at all.
Despite the many visions from the beginning, at least the Wandering Earth found its way forward and took its first steps in this vast universe.
