Chapter Thirty-Nine: Strange Space
After Zhou Xin repeated the order, the crew in front of him finally began to operate in a hurry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Soon, a person reported to Zhou Xin: "Your Excellency, due to the abnormal space around you, the spacecraft's sub-light speed flight has also been greatly affected. ”
At the same time, Zhou Xin also discovered this. Although the data on the screen shows that the main engine of the Voyager has entered the state of full power operation at this time, the starry sky that appears in the picture is still normal, and there is no special picture that can only appear after entering the sub-light speed flight, which shows that the flight speed of the Voyager is not fast. Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin subconsciously glanced at the speed information of the spaceship, and the numbers displayed on it were even more surprising, it was actually beating randomly like crazy, and occasionally there were even negative numbers, which was obviously impossible.
"What's going on with the space here?" Zhou Xin couldn't help but ask. However, no one answered his question at this time, because it was the first time they had seen such a strange phenomenon, so now they were a little overwhelmed by Zhou Xin.
While the Voyager was trapped in the strange space around it, the spherical battleship was already revealing its full form behind the Voyager. After completely breaking away from the hole, the battleship didn't stop at all, and flew straight towards the strange space they had created. But it seemed that even the spherical warship was afraid of the spatial distortions they had created, and it only flew a short distance before it came to a halt on the outskirts of the strange space.
At this time, inside the Voyager, after a period of observation, Atlas seemed to have a certain understanding of this strange space, and she said loudly: "Although people don't know how the other party created this strange space for the time being, if people's judgment is correct, this space is actually not much different from the space formed by the warp engine." ”
"How is that possible?" Zhou Xin asked suspiciously, if it was a warp engine, how could it look so irregular space.
At this time, hearing the little girl's reminder, coupled with the observation of the external data of the spaceship, Spred also understood a little, and he answered thoughtfully: "I'm afraid it's really like this." Seeing Zhou Xin's puzzled gaze at him, he explained in detail: "In essence, this space is indeed like the principle of a warp engine, which is a distortion of space on a normal basis. But unlike our warp engine, which can only create a single space, the surrounding space is now a mix of compression and expansion. Because of this, as the Voyager passes through each of the junctions of small spaces, the nature of the surrounding space will change drastically, causing the warp engine to be unable to maintain the stability of the space it has created, so we are out of warp state. Then he said with a hint of glee, "It's a good thing we came across this unstable space just when we set off, and if we had crashed into it while we were moving at high speed, I'm afraid the Voyager would have fallen apart because it passed through a lot of different spaces in an instant." ”
"Well, Brother Captain, that's pretty much it." Atlas added, "Although the main engine has not failed in this space, it is still able to propel the Voyager forward normally. However, because the nature of the space around the spacecraft changes greatly with each distance forward, we are still using distant starlight to measure the speed of the spacecraft, so the velocity data changes so drastically. ”
After Spred's explanation, Zhou Xin already understood, and after the little girl finished speaking, he asked, "Now that you have figured out what is going on in the surrounding space, can you come up with a way to leave this space?" ”
"The warp engine definitely won't work." Spred replied as he pondered, "The density of the surrounding space is not uniform, but well, the space itself is continuous. It stands to reason that as long as we keep flying in one of these directions with the main engine, we will be able to fly out of this strange space sooner or later. ”
"Brother Captain, it's recommended that you don't do this." Soon, Spred's suggestion was refuted by Atlas, "While Big Spred's approach does have the potential to get us out of here, it could also lead to extremely serious consequences. ”
"Serious consequences?" Zhou Xin and Spred asked in unison.
The little girl nodded, then explained, "After the Voyager had just passed through several different small spaces, it was discovered that the spaceship itself would change its shape due to the changing nature of the surrounding space. Although this is due to the nature of the space itself, it is not the structure of the ship itself that has changed. However, according to people's calculations, if our spacecraft shuttles quickly in different spaces, drastic spatial changes will still cause damage to the structure of the spacecraft. In addition, Brother Captain, you must know that spatial changes occur in a whole range, not only the spaceship, but also all the crew members on the spaceship themselves will also be affected by spatial changes, and I can't even analyze the results of this effect. ”
"That is, even the main engine can't be used?" Zhou Xin's tone looked very depressed.
"It's not that it doesn't work at all." Atlas replied, "Just that we can't go through a lot of different spaces in a short period of time at top speed, we can only fly out slowly." Speaking of this, the little girl sighed lightly, "Actually, it would be nice if the spacecraft was equipped with a hyperspace engine, but hyperspace flight needs to enter an independent space, unlike warp speed flight, which needs to rely on the surrounding normal space to move forward." Therefore, as long as there is no problem with the hyperspace itself, no matter what changes occur in the outer space corresponding to the hyperspace, there will be no impact on the spacecraft advancing in hyperspace. ”
"Since it's all gone, there's no need to mention it." Zhou Xin said disappointedly, "Could it be that we can only fly out of this space slowly?" But if that's the case, we won't be able to escape from the pursuit of the spherical battleship. As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at the spherical battleship that appeared on the screen on one side. However, it was this glance that made Zhou Xin discover something strange.
"Look at the spherical battleship, why don't I think it's ......coming closer to us?"
