8. Who's talking?
The departure of the starship "Pacific" is a common decision of mankind, but there is a premise.
Prior to this, a basic theory of space jumping, an aerospace technology that had not been broken through by humans, was born.
It has been theoretically confirmed that the feasibility of space jumps is "confirmed", and it is not accurate to say that "confirms", but it should be discovered exactly, because "space jumps" already exist.
Just like the laws of physics, they already exist in the universe, and some humans have discovered them.
The human beings of the earth are just like children, playing on the side of the road when they stumble upon it, like picking up a treasure, and like seeing a door.
The human staggered towards the door.
The door that I stumbled upon seemed to be able to step out as soon as I lifted my foot.
However, nothing can be done with theories alone.
Of course, the theory will eventually be tested and verified, but with the current level of human technology, it is not yet up to the requirements - to achieve this kind of space jump, it will take a huge amount of energy.
Theory, it's that simple.
But how do you control this door? Where does this door open? Where's outside the door? The coordinates of the destination are like keys, and if the coordinates are unknown, then the door cannot be opened.
There is another way - that is the other end of the door, which is opened by someone else.
The Pacific is ready, and the people of the Earth Circle can't wait to make the Pacific ready, which is the most advanced ship that human beings can build at present.
Advanced scientific research equipment and new intelligent computer systems are reflected on the ship.
People have to get out there!
Its mission is clear, to find the source of the "Bird Statue". Because the goal it is pointing to obviously has some kind of peculiar connection with the civilization of the earth.
Because, the door has been opened by someone else, and at this end of the door there is a planet familiar to mankind - the earth!
Located at South Gate 2 β also known as Ξ± Centauri, it is located only 4.24 light-years from the Sun and is the closest known star to the Sun.
Astronomy enthusiasts and countless observers on Earth have observed that when that huge amount of energy converges in the universe, a space singularity appears.
After the comparison of huge data, it is confirmed that the galaxy reflected by this singularity is our solar system!
The singularity energy, when it was located at that spatial coordinate, the theory of space jumps, was once again confirmed. Being able to reflect the solar system in hundreds of billions of galaxies is of extraordinary significance in itself.
β¦β¦
An hour later, the planetary system spacecraft docked at the outer base in Jupiter's orbit, and a total of 13 expeditionary scientists boarded the barge one after another.
Their debriefing meeting was relocated and was supposed to be held in the lobby of the base, but was temporarily repurposed to be heard in the Celestial Sphere Hall on the barge.
It is said that this was to avoid other disturbances on the base, and a temporary change was proposed by Captain Roosevelt of the "Pacific".
Zhuge Yun's face was expressionless, and he didn't pay attention to those temporary changes, as if he already knew that this would be the arrangement.
The holographic image of the meeting, encrypted by narrowband communication, was transmitted on the "Pacific".
The meeting was completely confidential, and no one on board the "Pacific" was informed except for the 13 people who were on board.
These people included 22 crew members and 30 soldiers on board, and if you count the captain and 2 deputy captains of this mission, a total of 68 people.
"First of all, I would like to wish you all the best of luck on your journey, and my personal gratitude for the long service to which you will dedicate yourself to the future. I'm not going to say things like 'the dream of humanity sets sail' or 'you carry the hopes of hundreds of millions of people on Earth' β that's for ordinary people, and what I'm going to say should be considered pre-war mobilization." All right! Time is limited, so let's cut it short. β
The holographic image shows the figure of Dinger Swan, the president of the "Planetary Council", his figure clear and natural, and his voice is old but powerful.
On the round table beside him, there were more than a dozen rotating directors and military representatives.
"First of all, I apologize for not telling you in advance, but I can guarantee that this matter was not my personal decision, but was voted on by all the upper participants."
"I will explain to you in the form of a report that this is one of the purposes of our trip, and it can also be said that it is the biggest purpose of this trip.
The investigators on the barge, except for one person, began to talk to each other, and they all vaguely felt that there would be some unknown situation on this trip.
In particular, the phrase "pre-war mobilization" that Swann had just used sounded very uncomfortable.
"The report is divided into two parts, and the following is the first part of the report, which is reported by the captain of the interstellar mineral exploration ship "Dreadnought......"
β¦β¦
Zhuge Yun's thoughts were pulled back to the ship, but his mind still recalled the words of President Swan, the "Planetary Council", before departure - "pre-war mobilization", and he didn't understand why it was "pre-war mobilization"?
But the blue-and-white light in front of him passed by again.
Just like this space expedition, most of the people on board know what to do, but they don't know how to do it.
It sounds simple, because there is only one purpose, but there is no way to predict what will happen.
Outside the porthole, it was a small meteorite shower, which seemed to be so close that it seemed to be touchable by reaching out with your hand.
Meteorite showers, which are actually seen with the naked eye, are not real.
The meteorite is still at least a few kilometers away from the spaceship, but the people on the ship have been floating in the vast universe for a long time, and there are twinkling stars and darkness as far as the eye can see, as well as the dead unknown material in space.
Zhuge Yun's feeling was the same as that of ordinary people, and suddenly seeing such a meteorite rain so close was like the feeling that happened next to him.
It was so fast that he didn't realize that he had already thought of them as "objects in his field of vision that he could almost reach out for."
In the flight system, the voice of Captain Roosevelt, which was simulated by the system, sounded: "Ladies and lads on the Pacific Ocean, the hibernation system of the spaceship has now started the unlocking process, and some people will wake up one after another, please prepare for the recovery process of those who have recovered from hibernation first." β
"Newton will enter the predetermined planetary circle in 36 hours and stay at the gravitational equilibrium point of planet NS811 for further instructions."
The Newton is a landing barge on the Pacific Ocean, which will travel to the planet to collect hydrogen for replenishment.
In a few minutes, the people on board the "Pacific" will wake up one after another.
Just as Zhuge Yun was thinking about the meteorite rain, some visions and a vague voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
βUt ftaghu wk"οΌ "hm
Nya
lathotep! Ia! Ia!β
Amaze! Fear!
Who the hell is talking about this? He began to look around......
What horrified him was not the voice itself, but the fact that he could understand the meaning of the strange and vague voiceβ"I call you!" Put on this skin and transform into Nyara Totip! Listen! β
His eyes were dark for about 2 or 3 seconds, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the blue and white light like a thin line that stretched infinitely, across the entire void space.
"What?" Chaotic thinking can't be calmed down in his mind!
Fine beads of sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead......
Nyara Totip? Vessel? What does that mean?
How could he understand the voice itself, the meaning of the words?
That's what scares him the most!
The sense of the spatial scale of the universe is completely materialized here. He could suddenly feel that somewhere in this space, there was a huge energy reaction.
He said he didn't understand, he couldn't figure it out, but he could sense the energy.
