Chapter 4: Kuixing
Nineteen trillion kilometers away from the earth, Luo Xingyu is looking at the starry sky through the transparent dome above his head in the main control room of the "Echo".
It was pitch black outside, and only the distant trachoma-like stars filled the sky, like a black translucent curtain with countless small holes the size of pinholes.
The surroundings were silent, lonely, desolate, and cold.
Al Pard was in control of the ship, and Rubas was helping to keep an eye on the systems.
The plan for their trip was to go to Rubas's hometown first, send him back, and then Arpard back to his home planet, Montatu.
They have reached deep space, where matter is the thinnest and gravity is weakest, and such an environment is best suited for teleportation.
I saw Alpad maneuver for a while, and the spacecraft began to rotate rapidly, because the spaceship is a tourbillon structure, the outer disk is rotating rapidly, but the inner disk is not moving. Luo Xingyu felt that there was a steady stream of power flowing out of the spaceship, and Alpad told him that it was the warp engine of the spaceship that was spewing out negative energy, rejecting normal space-time, and when the energy reached a critical value, the spacecraft could leave the normal space-time and enter the void space-time. As he spoke, the hull of the ship suddenly slammed, and the outside of the cabin immediately became pitch black, and nothing could be seen outside, not even the trachoma-like stars.
At this time, Arpad told Luo Xingyu that they had entered the void space, and only felt that it was dark, quiet, and empty outside, as if they had entered the mansion of death.
"And how long will it take for us to get to Quix?" Luo Xingyu asked.
"We have time inside the spaceship, but there is no time outside the spaceship, I have already set the destination, and it will only take about ten seconds to reach the vicinity of Kuixing."
"Oh my God, is there a limit to the distance?"
"Yes, it depends on the energy of the spacecraft, the stronger the energy, the farther the teleportation, and the weaker the energy, the shorter the teleportation distance."
"So if the ship loses energy, will we stay in the void forever and die inside?"
"That's not true, if you lose energy, the spaceship will be squeezed out by the void space, provided that the strength of the ship's hull is strong enough that it cannot be torn, you can rest assured, the strength of the spacecraft that can be teleported is strong enough."
Luo Xingyu was stunned after hearing this, as if he was listening to a myth.
While they were chatting, the spacecraft suddenly shook again, and the spacecraft had already reached the star field where the star Kui was located three hundred light-years away, and the dome could see the starry sky outside again.
The ship flew faster than light towards the galaxy of Kuixing, and it didn't take long for them to reach Kuixing, a huge earthy planet appeared in front of them.
Before entering the atmosphere, Rubas had already communicated with their planet through a communication system, and he informed him of his identity.
A guide ship takes to the skies and takes them to the skies above Quijing, the capital of Quijing. From the air, Quijing looks like a huge black steel forest, while the rest of the planet looks very desolate, with an earthy yellow color and very little vegetation, indicating that the environmental damage has been quite serious.
When they arrived at Quijing, the parking platform was already full of Quijing.
It turns out that after many years of war, the environment and magnetic field of Kuixing have been severely damaged, and many species have inevitably become extinct, and their environment is very difficult to recover. Due to the huge damage caused by the war, their strength and scientific and technological capabilities have gradually declined, coupled with the existential crisis they have to face, so that they no longer have the resources and strength to carry out a long-distance space voyage, and none of the research teams they sent before have returned.
So when they learned that an astronaut sent 70 years ago had returned, bringing back the genes of the species that Kuixing desperately needed, the sensation it caused could be imagined.
Many Kuixing people had already crowded the perimeter of the landing pad, surrounding the front door of the landing pad. On the parking platform, the line was already full of greetings, and the leader of the Quixers stood at the front of the line, surrounded by a group of officials. Rubas's family was also in the group, and they also rushed to hear the news. It turned out that Rubas was married and had children when he left, and now his grandchildren are all adults.
As soon as Rubas got off the boat, a group of people came up to greet him, and after a few words of greeting with the leader, Rubas immediately hugged his family members and hugged his family for a long time before he was surrounded by a group of officials and entered a large house in front of the tarmac. Alpad and Luo Xingyu were also given a grand reception.
At the welcoming house, Rubas recounted his encounter and return to the chief, and called the genes he had brought back to the officials in charge of genetic engineering. After the meeting, Rubas was taken back to his home by his relatives, while Arpard and Luo Xingyu were arranged as VIPs in the guest house in Kuixing, and they agreed with Rubas to wait until they were settled down before visiting his house.
Alpad and Luo Xingyu plan to stay in Kuixing for a week, take a break, and familiarize themselves with Kuixing's environment by the way, and then return to Alpad's hometown.
Due to the destruction of the magnetic field of the Kuixing, the cosmic rays and the solar wind can sweep through without obstruction, making the environment of the Kuixing extremely harsh, most of the Kuixing people live under the protective shield of steel, and the vegetation must grow in the protective shield, and the supply is very limited, so their population has declined sharply.
After decades of hard work, Kuixing's magnetic field has been repaired by seventy percent, and most of the planet has begun to restore greenery. Due to the long-term war and turmoil, many species have become permanently extinct, so they urgently need suitable species to supplement their lack of flora, fauna and food chains. As long as the species is restored, they can prosper again as before, and they hope that Kuixing can return to the original peaceful and happy planet.
Luo Xingyu was very strange, since their environment was so bad, why didn't they immigrate to other planets. After understanding, it was learned that although there are countless planets in the original universe, there are very few habitable planets, and it is not easy to find them, even if they are found, they are unusually far away, and it will take dozens or even hundreds of years to transform them into habitable. In addition, even if the transformation is completed, it is also an unimaginable project to move all the stars to another planet, it needs to consume extremely amazing energy, and it needs to collect resources within the range of a large star, which is far from enough for the Kuixing people, their technological level and strength are far from enough, so their focus is on transforming their own planet. And if they can, why don't they transform their own planet and seek or transform other planets with uncertain futures? I won't do it unless I have to.
Alpad and Luo Xingyu played on Kuixing for six or seven days, learned about the history of Kuixing civilization and their life and social conditions, and went to Rubas's house to be a guest, and after seven or eight days, they decided to leave Kuixing and continue the next voyage.
When Luo Xingyu left the earth and visited Kuixing, he had taken a lot of photos and videos, and also made written records, the memory of the mobile phone and tablet he brought from the earth was not enough for a long time, and Alpard gave him a huge memory of the Montatu people, which can be compatible with Luo Xingyu's mobile phone after his transformation, so that he is no longer afraid of insufficient storage space, so Luo Xingyu took many photos and images in Kuixing.
When the time came to say goodbye to Kuixing, Alpadro Xingyu waved goodbye to Rubas and the officials who came to see him off. The spacecraft rises into the sky, stays in the air for a short time, and then leaves the star and flies quickly into space.
The spacecraft went through the same steps and reached deep space, teleporting the airspace of Damontatu. While teleportation takes very little time, it takes a long time to leave each galaxy to reach deep space and regular flight. During this time, Luo Xingyu learned some Montatu characters from Alpad, and could roughly understand the star map and some simple parameters on the spaceship, and also learned some basic operations to help Alpa do some auxiliary operations. As for language, because there is an Alpad language converter, he only needs to enter the Alpad language into his brain, but the language learned this way is mechanical, and if it is not used often, it will be forgotten, just like the storage chips in the computer are exclusive.
As for other scientific knowledge and inner secrets, because the structure of the human brain is complex, which involves the essence of life and the most fundamental reason for the production of conscious matter, it belongs to the innate category, and the mystery of God is as profound and complex as it, which is beyond human reach, even developed people like Montatu have no way to figure it out, so there is no need to worry about the converter being able to peek into the secrets of the heart, and the same scientific knowledge can only be mastered through learning.
Because there is no sunrise and sunset on the spacecraft, the mobile phone brought by Luo Xingyu from the earth is no longer accurate due to the influence of high-speed motion and various gravitational magnetic fields. In order to keep accurate time, Alpard gave him a Montato watch, which can automatically convert time, keep accurate time, and also have the functions of communication, positioning, detection of the surrounding terrain, air index, Geiger number, substance content and composition, which is very useful. Through conversion, a Montatu day is about 1.5 days waiting for the earth, and unconsciously, Luo Xingyu has been away from the earth for more than four months.
After nearly a month of sailing, they arrived at Alpad's hometown, the galaxy where the star Montatu is located!
From space, this is a very beautiful galaxy, the starry sky is gorgeous and colorful, like an oil painting with blurred colors, and like a dreamlike fog.
Before entering the Montatu system, they had already come into contact with the guardian planets billions of kilometers away around the planet. When he arrived near the atmosphere, Luo Xingyu saw countless huge space stations outside the atmosphere surrounding the home star, and various spaceships of different shapes flew in and out of the space station, indicating that the space flight of the Montatu people was very busy.
They passed through the protective circle formed by the space station and flew towards Montatu, the capital of Montatu. Mondu is a huge city, from the air, all kinds of buildings of different shapes towering into the sky, the city can not be seen at a glance, but the environment outside the city is natural and fresh, there is no trace of destruction, reflecting the perfect integration of the highly developed civilization and nature of the Montattu people.
