"First of all, the energy consumed by the Akuberi engine is completely unimaginable!" "Scientists have calculated that the energy to accelerate a spacecraft beyond the speed of light, bending and flattening space, would require energy from the entire solar system to do so," Samantha said. ”

Immediately, Samantha emphasized: "Remember, this consumption is not a simple nuclear fusion change is not combustion, but annihilation, that is, the conversion of matter into energy!" ”

With so much energy as the driving force to drive the curvature of a spaceship to fly, what material do you use to load it and load it onto your spaceship?

Even if you actually build this vessel and load it with so much energy. While using it, with such a huge amount of energy exploding around your spaceship, aren't you afraid that your spaceship, including everything on the ship, will instantly turn into elementary particles?

Second, the Akberi engine has a negative energy density and needs to be driven by strange matter, which currently exists only theoretically and has never been discovered in the universe. Is it a joke to use a substance that exists only theoretically as the basis for your goals?

Third, the Akberi engine does not completely rule out time travel back in time, violating the timing protection mechanism, and the universe may never allow anyone to produce it. Cosmic energy belongs to the universe, not to human beings!

Fourth, although the universe is sparse with matter, since the spaceship equipped with the Akuberi engine moves faster than the speed of light, it will inevitably affect the entire space-time. It's like if you're flying in a forest with an airplane, you're likely to hit the trees in front of you.

It's the same with warp bubbles, since the space in front of you has been compressed, the originally harmonious cosmic matter has been distorted. Although the universe is empty, it is not empty, and what kind of bad treatment will be suffered by the galaxies, stars, planets, and intelligent life that appear right in front of your warp bubble? Do you yourself dare to guarantee that you are absolutely safe and sound?

There is a risk in distorting time and space, and this risk is not ordinary. In curvature flight, particles with the opposite energy to the Akuberi bubble will accumulate in front of the bubble, and some particles will even enter the space-time bubble, forming a cumulative effect, and the longer the space-time bubble travels, the more particles will accumulate in front of it.

So, when the spacecraft finally reaches its destination and starts to slow down, the massive amount of energy accumulated along the way will be released in an instant, enough to destroy anything that comes into contact with it. The particles that have been lurking in the space-time bubble may also pose a threat to the ship itself. If the spacecraft falls out of the space-time bubble while passing through the asteroid belt, disaster will occur.

At the same time, if the spacecraft slows down too close to the target planet, people will inadvertently "erase" the planet from the map. In other words, you were going to land on this planet, but a large number of particles of opposite energy generated during the curvature flight instantly wiped out your destination! ……

"Forget it, don't say it!" Hearing this, Zhang Jingyi felt breathless. According to Samantha, human beings can only survive in a corner of the universe, which is too depressing!

However, Shu Yunpeng still wants to hear it. If humans don't have the possibility of flying with curvature, then what about the use of curvature that Samantha said last time? Also, no matter how you came here, you really traveled through time and space for 10,000 years, what's going on?

He thought about it, and when he was thinking about how to ask, Zhang Jingyi stood up and said "tired", then turned around and walked away. Qin Huaiyu saw it and hurriedly followed.

"Commander Zhang can't stand it anymore, do you still talk about it?" Samantha looked at Zhang Jingyi's back and asked Shu Yunpeng.

"I stopped early today," Shu Yunpeng said, "I want to listen anyway!" ”

"You're a little out of shape today," saying goodbye to Samantha and returning to the room, Shu Yunpeng said to Zhang Jingyi, who had a gloomy face, "What's wrong?" ”

"Don't you think she kind of wants to scare us?" Zhang Jingyi said: "Yes, they are indeed much more advanced than us, but is it necessary to belittle us so much? ”

Shu Yunpeng looked at Zhang Jingyi, he didn't think Samantha meant to despise the earthlings, but since Zhang Jingyi thought so, he didn't want to refute: "Okay, starting tomorrow, you don't have to listen, I'll go alone." ”

"Do you want to hear it?"

"Since you've listened to it, you can't give up halfway!" Shu Yunpeng said. Anyway, what he wants to know about later is really what he is particularly concerned about. Sometimes, he also feels that this part has too much to do with him, and the less people know about it, the better. Since Zhang Jingyi didn't want to hear it, why didn't he push the boat down the river: "You can sleep in your room today, and sleep as long as you want, so as not to disturb you when I get up." ”

"What a weirdo your major is!" The next day, Zhang Jingyi said to Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu smiled and didn't say anything, she actually wanted to follow Shu Yunpeng to listen. But she knew that Shu Yunpeng was afraid that Zhang Jingyi would be bored and panicked if she had nothing to do all day, and she would definitely let herself accompany her, so she didn't follow.

Seeing Shu Yunpeng appear on time, Samantha smiled: "I knew you would continue to listen!" As I said last time, you're pretty good at getting to the bottom of things. Truth be told, there is something in you that resembles us, not earthlings. ”

"Are earthlings different from you?"

"Yes, there's a big difference. Although we are all emotional creatures, we are more rational! Samantha said: "Earthlings love fantasy too much, although fantasy is very important, and a lot of science and technology start from fantasy, but too many fantasy is harmful." ”

"You don't have a sci-fi show like Star Trek there?"

"No, not really!"

"Isn't your life a bit monotonous?"

"From the way you guys think, it's really monotonous, but we don't think it's ......" Samantha said, "Keep going?" ”

Shu Yunpeng nodded, and Samantha began her story again.

The Jones also experimented with curvature-driven flight many times, and they even built a curvature-driven engine. The success of building a curvature-driven engine was a wonderful moment for them.

But what happened next was not so rosy. They found that the huge demand for energy was like a huge roadblock. Curvature-driven engines require a huge gravitational field, and the energy required to create such a field is enormous. When they sent a few atoms out with great effort, the energy required was almost equal to the energy obtained by converting all the mass of Jupiter in the solar system, and in that instant, their spaceship disappeared without a trace!

"The ship, including its crew, has all been annihilated?" Shu Yunpeng felt creepy.

Samantha nodded.

"It's horrible!" Shu Yunpeng muttered.

"But we also had a lot of gains," says Samantha, "and our material manufacturing and engine manufacturing have improved dramatically, laying a solid foundation for our later interstellar voyages!" ”

"In this case, the possibility of opening the wormhole is even slimmer!" Shu Yunpeng pondered: "I think, the amount of energy required is immeasurable......

"Yes," Samantha said, "I remember that you earthlings have a movie "Interstellar Flyby", which says that the earth is barren and unsuitable for human habitation, and the future five-dimensional people have opened a wormhole near Jupiter in order to save their ancestors, so that the ancestors can pass through this wormhole to find a new home...... Do you think it's possible? ”

"I don't know," Shu Yunpeng thought for a long time, and replied honestly: "I can't say anything scientifically, but I don't think it makes sense logically!" Since the five-dimensional people can open the wormhole, why don't they take action to save the human race, save their ancestors, that is, save themselves? On the contrary, the ancestors with such a low level of science and technology have gone through a lot of hardships to find a new home for mankind? ”

"Ridiculous, isn't it?" Samantha smiled happily: "So I said that Major Shu is very much like us Joneses." ”

"Are you praising me, or are you praising yourselves?"

"All of them," Samantha smiled too, "Maybe you're not used to our way of thinking and speaking in one and two, right?" ”

"I remember one thing," thinking that Zhang Jingyi was already impatient, Shu Yunpeng didn't want to waste time in inconsequential chit-chat: "You changed the engine of my spaceship at the beginning, and said that my spacecraft will be able to keep up with your mothership in the future, just keep up?" ”

"Yes," Samantha replied honestly, "just to keep up, because we don't usually fly at full speed." If we're flying at full speed, your ship won't be able to keep up. ”

"Why?" Shu Yunpeng asked: "Didn't I use your engine?" ”

"It's our engine, but not our most advanced one," Samantha said, "and we've found that your ship won't get very far before it disintegrates if it's equipped with our best engine." Even the current one doesn't quite meet the requirements, so that's why we've reinforced you...... You're here at full speed, aren't you? ”

"Yes!" Shu Yunpeng said. Because Yi Qianya's life hung by a thread, he completely let go of Fei this time.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with your ship?"

Shu Yunpeng thought for a while and said, "Yes, it seems that the hull of the ship is shaking violently, and sometimes one or two noises come out of nowhere. ”

"That's it!" Samantha said, "Luckily, Major Shu, we have reinforced your ship...... We inspected your ship and found that the hull structure was loose. We've hardened your ship again, and now yours is at least worthy of this engine. ”

"Used your materials?"

"Yes, some, but not the strongest kind," Samantha said, "so to speak, the materials that we've eliminated are worthy of that engine." ”

"So," Shu Yunpeng suddenly realized: "The engine you installed in my spacecraft is also a product that has been eliminated!" ”

"I'm sorry, that's the only way," Samantha said with no shame on her face, "I also installed a small ion cannon on your spaceship, and let the moon teach you how to use it later." ”
