Chapter 153: Dark Matter and Dark Energy
"Mom, I'm going to look for my brother far away, and I hope you can find a new father for me. I hope my grandfather and grandmother take care of their health! At his home on Mars, Dr. Monica looked at the text messages left by his daughter Titan One, and his feelings were extremely complicated.
More than a decade has passed since the clone of the Maltese genes was brought back from the Titan reservation.
Although she did not conceive and give birth to her in October, after genetic comparison, it has been confirmed that this clone inherits her own genes. After all these years of getting along, Monica's parents have long regarded this clone as their biological nephew, while Dr. Monica regards Titan One as his own. It is precisely because of Titan One that her parents no longer urge her to find a boyfriend to marry.
With most of her mind on her daughter, Dr. Monica gave up on the idea of remarrying. Although clones with Maltese genes have been integrated into Covenant society, most people are still prejudiced against clones and are psychologically unable to accept clones with a pair of horse ears. She worries that her future husband is prejudiced against Titan One.
Of course, with her beauty, there are many rich and handsome people who have pursued her over the years, but because of this concern, the matter of reorganizing the family has gradually been put down, and her mind is almost all on her daughter Titan One.
And what has made the whole family nervous all these years is the headache and nightmare that have been accompanying the growth of Titan One, since the sudden loss of the superpower to control matter and energy, the inexplicable headache and nightmare have been with this clone, and the daughter always talks crazy nonsense in her dreams.
Dr. Monica was not less worried about this, and after the gene therapy route failed, he took Titan One to all the major planets in the solar system to seek medical treatment. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine or witch doctors, they have all treated Titan One, and almost nothing has any effect.
In desperation, Dr. Monica, who converted to God, took her daughter to Christianity, hoping that faith in God would bring some help to cure headaches and nightmares. As a result, her daughter became a devout Christian, and during her time in church, Dr. Monica saw that her daughter seemed to be at peace, but her headache was not alleviated.
"Girl, mother's heart, it seems that you have finally left your mother to find the brother of your dreams."
Dr. Monica's eyes were a little moist, and she stared blankly at her daughter's determined face in the holographic video before she sat down on the couch for a long time.
This was what she expected, and her daughter's nightmares over the years had repeated more than once about her brother's dreams in distant places. Although she is not an idealist, she believes that her daughter is not an ordinary clone, but that she is born with the ability to manipulate matter and energy, which seems to be connected to some unknown mysterious power.
"Girl, go to a distant place to find the brother of your dreams, pay attention to safety during the journey, mother is waiting for you to come back in the solar system."
After a period of grief and reluctance, Dr. Monica replied to her daughter with a brief video message, and she was nearly half a hundred years old, and she already knew the truth that young birds should fly high when their wings are stiff. She can't tie her daughter to her side, not to mention that her daughter is a clone with special genes.
On the course to Pluto, the Titan One clone stood in the Covenant expeditionary ship, tearfully watching the video message from Mars from his mother.
She didn't want to tell her mother that she was going on an expedition to the Centauri galaxy with the latest Covenant fleet, for fear that she would be upset that she was too far away. But because I didn't want my mother to worry, I still sent my mother a shortened video. She knew that her mother should be sad at this time, but she could only pray silently for her mother in her heart, asking God to bless her mother with health and happiness.
A few days ago, she suddenly found that she had regained the ability to manipulate matter and energy, and regained her memories of the smart brush when she was born, and once again sensed her brother Smart Brush No. 1, who was in a distant place.
Although Titan One graduated from the Interstellar Expeditionary Military Academy half a year ago, passed the expeditionary fleet member assessment, and met the conditions for new recruits, she did not plan to join the Star Alliance Expeditionary Fleet immediately. What made the decision to go on an expedition so quickly was the slightest hint of bad premonition in the dark. Judging from the information sensed, it seems that the elder brother's smart brush No. 1 has encountered some kind of accident.
Now as long as you close your eyes, there will be an infinite dark picture in Titan One's brain, and in that dark and terrifying bottomless abyss, Titan One seems to find that his brother is constantly falling in, facing great danger.
Brother Zhizhi No. 1 is facing a disaster, and she wants to go on an expedition to find that distant dark place in the universe and rescue her brother.
Outside the dazzling window, the Covenant Expeditionary Fleet engines emit a dazzling blue light, illuminating the dark universe like a bright star, passing Pluto at one-ninth of the speed of light and entering further interstellar space.
Titan One withdrew his gaze from the glare of the battleship's engine outside the glare window, turned off the video message from his mother and walked to the sleeping pod. According to the Covenant Expeditionary Fleet Voyage Plan, all crew members will go into hibernation and will wake up after 27 years.
Under the action of boundless darkness and gravity, Yang Yi is still enduring inhuman torture. Memories have become blurry. Since the moment the catastrophe caused by the metal box in the battleship broke out and was torn into this dark space by the strange suction, Yang Yi couldn't feel the passage of direction and time. It seems that he is falling in a certain direction, and it seems that he has already fallen to the bottom, and is firmly attached to a certain point.
In the pain, Yang Yi also suspected that the metal box caused the black hole effect, but was denied by himself. He didn't think that a small mass object like a metal box could cause a black hole effect, but this weird feeling was clearly similar to a black hole, and if it weren't for a massive object like a black hole, it would be difficult for humans to create such a weird phagocytosis effect.
Yang Yiqiang endured the heart-rending pain and thought about various possibilities in his brain.
Could it be that I am no longer in the three-dimensional universe, entering some kind of unknown space? After ruling out various possibilities, Yang Yi thought of the four-dimensional cosmic space that he had strayed into hundreds of years ago.
However, the current environment is not comparable to the previous four-dimensional universe. There is no god-like vision of the four-dimensional space here, and there is no way to see the starry sky in the distance, only boundless darkness. The only thing that bears some resemblance to the previous four-dimensional space is that time is also not felt here.
"Could it be that this is a dark space that doesn't exist in theory?"
Yang Yi suddenly thought of a possibility. As early as the ancient twentieth century, the American astronomer Hubble observed the existence of redshift in the universe, according to the famous Hubble's redshift law, the galaxies in the universe are moving away from each other at a high speed, and the universe is expanding at a high speed.
In the expanding universe, there is an invisible dark energy after the Big Bang that pushes galaxies away from each other. It is precisely with the powerful impetus of dark energy that the matter in the universe is prevented from collapsing under the gravitational force into the singularity of mass infinity.
It is precisely because of the unknown dark impetus and gravity that the planets can move away from each other, avoid being swallowed by the singularity formed by the collapse of matter, and provide conditions for the evolution of life and civilization.
Scientists who admire dark energy and dark matter believe that it is this mysterious energy that gives the universe the meaning of existence, and even the existence of time and space is inseparable from the powerful driving force of dark energy.
Some cosmologists openly believe that the mysterious dark matter and dark energy are the true masters of the universe, and they account for the majority of the total mass of matter in the universe.
At that time, the theory of the existence of dark matter and dark energy in the universe became the most fashionable research direction in the astronomical community.
Hundreds of years later, although the existence of dark matter and dark energy has not been discovered in the universe, there are still people who enjoy it and devote their lives to research.
When he was in school, Yang Yi had studied papers on dark matter and dark energy, and he also doubted the existence of such matter and energy. But since the end of the war with Centauri and the entry of humanity into the era of antimatter, Yang Yi believes that even if dark matter and dark energy really exist in the universe, it is not too bizarre for a universe full of unknowns.
And if there is dark matter and dark energy, is there a dark space that coexists with it?
Thinking of this, Yang Yi suddenly opened his mouth, if he was in a dark space. All these unexplained phenomena make sense. Anyway, the dark space is unknown to him, and any incredible phenomenon is possible.
"Since everything can't be explained, it can only be called Dark Space for the time being. Anyway, this is boundless darkness, and it is appropriate to call it a dark space. ”
Yang Yi, who couldn't feel the existence of his body and was still tormented by severe pain, forcibly comforted himself like this, his current situation was too bad, almost between life and death, and he really couldn't imagine that there was a worse situation than this.
Yang Yi endured indescribable pain in this boundless darkness. There is no sense of direction, time cannot be perceived, and even the concept of space becomes blurred.
I don't know how long it has been.
Yang Yi suddenly felt that his irresistible tearing ability was gone, and his body, which had turned into countless quantum particles, was being pushed by some kind of force, flying in a certain direction at high speed in the dark. The force of this push was so great that Yang Yi felt that he was flying at an astonishing speed.
The sudden change caught Yang Yi off guard, and this driving force did not give Yang Yi any time. At the moment when he felt the high-speed flight, Yang Yi felt the passage of time.
"Bang!"
After a loud collision, Yang Yi suddenly felt light, and the broken kite was thrown out. At the moment of being thrown out, the unbearable pain disappeared, and the quantum body, which could not be reassembled, also regained its freedom at this moment.
The vision was restored in an instant, and there was no longer boundless darkness in front of him, and in the process of being thrown out, Yang Yi saw the blinking stars.
Absolutely, that's the countless shining stars in the universe. And with himself, there are countless tiny interstellar dust.
Yang Yi's whole body flashed with blue light, and the quantum particles combined into a metal body in the process of being fled. And try to stop so that you can hold on to something.
At the moment when the combination of metal bodies was successful, Yang Yi completely saw the vision in front of him. I am still in the universe, and the surroundings are actually dark, but there is the light of the stars as a reference, and compared to the pure darkness of the dark space, this place is much brighter.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Yang Yi's metal body was pushed backwards at high speed, continuously hitting countless meteorites of different sizes, and smashing the meteorites that were also moving at high speed.
But after being torn to pieces in the dark space, Yang Yi's body didn't feel much pain from the impact that occurred at this time, and this impact didn't seem to cause much damage to Yang Yi, who was combined into a metal body.
Yang Yi's blue hands kept scratching around, trying to grab something to stop him from flying. It turned out that there was nothing to grasp on the basis of this, only collisions were happening continuously.
