"As early as 100 million years ago, human beings knew through the general theory of relativity that the speed of light is constant and cannot be surpassed, and the light under the action of the gravitational field makes the space we see have different degrees of distortion, in fact, this is the distortion of light rather than the distortion of space, which is an illusion of observation.

"At that time, quantum mechanics, which could not be unified with general relativity, detected that particles under the microscope could jump faster than light, but scientists at that time did not realize that in fact it was not the particle that exceeded the speed of light, but got rid of the observation field of light, and reached another point in space from a certain point in space in the shortest straight line, and did not 'detour far' as usual, but in the eyes of people, the particle made a faster-than-light travel.

"It's like a person walking in a straight line at a constant speed on the surface of the planet, and people see him walking in a straight line, but from a macroscopic point of view, he is walking a spherical curve. If this person can go underground and walk in a straight line, it will appear to be "faster" in the eyes of people. But in reality, the speed at which the person walked did not change. And the same is true for space. All we have to do is close our eyes that bring illusions, push away the space field that blocks us, and drill into the shortest space high-speed tunnel......

"The great Lightspeed Lab finally unified the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics to find one of the ways to travel faster than light in space and make it a reality: we first quantum-field the object we were going to move, making the obstacles caused by the distorted space force site infinitely smaller, and then 'going straight' in space in the right direction and reaching our destination. In this process, the speed of navigation does not exceed the speed of light, and it does not violate any basic laws of physics, but in the eyes of people, we are moving at a speed of hundreds or even thousands of times faster than the speed of light, that is, the speed of the jump!

"Of course, when representing the straight-line distance between two objects, for the sake of convenience, we still use the angle of human observation or the observation field of light to make the 'wrong' calibration. As we often say that the distance between the two planets was 1 light year, but that is only the time distance at the speed of light, it does not mean that we have to travel at the speed of light for 1 year to reach our destination, we can reach our destination in a few minutes at a speed several times lower than the speed of light.

"It's an interesting theory of light-speed relativity, just like the famous quote that Lightspeed Labs famously said when it was announced to the world - we don't go faster than light, but we run faster than light!"

Although the process of human beings fully realizing the speed of the transition is extremely long, and there are countless technical difficulties encountered during the period, at present, in this time and space, it is an indisputable fact that human beings have mastered the transition technology and widely used it, laying the most solid and important foundation for human civilization to enter the interstellar civilization.

As an earth traveler, although Li Yi has absorbed relevant conceptual memory cognition and can literally roughly understand what the principle of the transition is, with his cognitive view, he still feels that there are many questions that cannot be answered.

What puzzled him the most was that even if the distance between two points was the shortest, even if the speed of the transition was the same as the speed of light, it would not be hundreds or thousands of times faster than walking on a curved surface.

Looking at the jump space tunnel in front of him, Li Yi couldn't help but think wildly: Suppose there is a person on the opposite side standing 1,000 meters away from him, and now he only needs to take one step and get to the person - how is this possible? It's incredible!

After this thought flashed, Li Yi laughed silently.

After all, he is an OUT "ancient earthling", and he has not absorbed the technical chips of related professions, so it is normal not to understand, otherwise he can be a great scientist in the old time and space to lead mankind to the universe.

Besides, this assumption is not untrue, but I have really experienced it myself, and those material conveyor stations and base vehicles can be directly achieved in one step from a long distance?

Well, this may also involve related space theories, or maybe the spatial distance between two points does not exist in the form of a curved surface, which will be studied and studied in the future, and maybe we can find a way to return to the earth......

Thinking of this, Li Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up, but then he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, now he didn't even understand the theory of space, so he wanted to go back to the earth? Isn't this going to involve a more esoteric theory of space-time?

However, Wharton is just a small miscellaneous in the chaotic star field, and it is estimated that the humans on Wharton will not have too in-depth research and achievements in this area, and they will definitely not find a relevant chip above level 4 to learn scientific research theories in this area.

If you want to find a way back, I am afraid that you have to return to the mainstream interstellar circle of mankind, so that it is possible to contact and learn the most in-depth and cutting-edge relevant theoretical knowledge and scientific research technology, and then further study these theories to see if you can realize time and space travel.

But the current reality is that there is no chance to even go out of the Wharton Star now, let alone leave the Wharton System later, and then the Magellan Star Field, the Lightning Galaxy, the Chaos Star Field Sea N8 Region, and the Chaos Star Field Sea...... Finally, it can enter the mainstream interstellar circle of mankind.

After entering, you have to find a powerful country, find the country's scientific research institutions, and then risk getting top-secret technology chips, and then develop the so-called time and space shuttle machine after absorbing it - only then will you have a chance to return to the original time and space!

This is a long march with many difficulties!

Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Li Yi didn't really want to go back to Earth, he was very interested in this world, and he really didn't plan to go back after passing through, but not planning to go back doesn't mean he didn't want to go back.

Wouldn't it be better if you could wear it back and forth?

At least when you have time, you can go back to see your family, and at least you can bring some local products to make some windfalls, right?

Thinking of this, Li Yi took a deep breath and retracted these wild thoughts.

After the transition lasted for about 30 seconds, a series of system prompts sounded again, and the spacecraft made corresponding adjustments.

"Arriving at the Wharton-Lehman Stargate, the jump engine begins to shut down......"

"The jump is over, the ship is slowing down ......"

"Approaching the Star Gate, 1,885,250km from the Star Gate...... 125524km…… 53988km…… 1442km…… 351km……”

As voice prompts and data on the system surface reverse, the miner gradually slowed down and eventually returned to its normal cruising speed.

Due to the lowest-spec standard miner, the performance of the ion thruster was very poor, and the cruising speed eventually dropped to 238 m/s before stabilizing.

Although this speed is still terrifying when converted to the speed of the earth, reaching more than 850 km/h, in this era, especially in the vast expanse of space, such a speed can only be described as a snail crawling.

However, at this time, the mining machine was already very "close" to the stargate, and the distance between the two sides was less than 20km.

From a first-person perspective, a huge stargate is standing in front of you, while countless starships are piled up nearby waiting to enter, and your own mining machine is slowly approaching the stargate.

Observing through the porthole, the stargate is like a huge oval transparent mirror, with a long radius of more than 100 kilometers, and a cross-sectional area comparable to a space city.

The circumference of the mirror is made up of a circle of unidentified devices with flashing red lights.

When the stargate is activated, the red light will turn green, and the transparent mirror will become a solid colored light curtain vortex mirror, and the starship that is docked nearby will be sucked into this huge colored vortex mirror, and the entire hull will appear to be stretched extremely long for a moment, then become distorted, and finally disappear.

As mentioned in the Encyclopedia, the speed of space is divided into three levels: the first is between 100-1000 m/s and is used for close navigation, also known as cruising speed, which is powered by thrusters; The second voyage speed is between 0.1MU and 10MU, that is, 100-10,000 times the speed of light, and is used for medium- and long-distance navigation within the galaxy, also known as jump speed, which is dominated by its own jump engine.

The third velocity, in the form of a jump through a gate built at a magnetic resonance point between two star systems, is used for teleportation over very long distances between galaxies.

Since there is no time variable during the jump, the jump speed cannot be called speed, but the distance spanned by the jump far exceeds the jump distance per unit of time, and it does not need to have its own engine, everything can be done by the stargate.

The stargate jumping technology is a giant artificial magnetic field wormhole technology, which still does not exceed the speed of light, but in terms of the distance of space, it is still faster than light, and at least a million times faster!

This is another epoch-making superluminal technology after the invention of the leap technology by the Lightspeed Lab, and it is also the highest application of space physics technology by mankind at present.

Like the principle of jumping, Li Yi also knows a little about the principle of jumping, and there are many doubts in his heart but he can't find the answer, anyway, existence is reasonable, since it is said in the "Encyclopedia", and the facts are in front of him, it is rare to be confused, and there will be opportunities for in-depth research in the future.

Although it is convenient and fast to jump to other galaxies through the stargate, it is not without its shortcomings, after Li Yi arrived near the stargate, under the control of the automatic navigation system, he did not jump at the first time, but queued for almost 2 minutes before jumping to the Lehman system with the surrounding starships.

The reason why there is still a queue is because a star system can only resonate with another adjacent star system at the same time and form a unique jump channel, and there may be multiple jump gates to other galaxies in a galaxy, so only one of the gate channels in the galaxy can be opened at the same time.

Figuratively speaking, the traffic between galaxies and galaxies is very similar to a fork in the road, only when a certain intersection is green, vehicles can pass, and vehicles in other directions can only wait for a while, and the same is true for ships that want to pass through the stargate.

When the spaceship entered the open vortex gate, almost the next moment, the spaceship came out of the stargate at the other end.

The whole process lasted for a very short time, less than half a second, Li Yi could hardly feel the process, just like the feeling of traveling from the old time and space to this time and space, and his eyes flickered to find that the scene outside the ship had completely changed.

When I was in the Wharton system before, the surrounding starry sky environment felt clear and bright, which meant that the Wharton system was very "clean" and there was no harsh or special space environment.

But when you arrive in the Lehman Galaxy, the whole starry sky is obviously much more turbid, and you can see all kinds of strange glows and clouds in the distant starry sky, which looks particularly bewitching and also indicates some kind of danger.

However, this also means that the Lehman system is rich in various mineral resources, making it a good mineral area.

Without waiting for Li Yi to continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him, after the mining machine came out of the star gate, the automatic navigation system started again, and it entered the transition state again in the direction of the asteroid belt coordinates set in advance.

The autopilot system is a fool-proof operation that is very simple and easy to use.

From going out to the present, Li Yi has issued a total of two instructions through brain control, one is to sail, the other is to specify coordinates for automatic navigation, and then the rest of the work is handed over to the system.

Li Yi, who has almost nothing to do, is very satisfied with the power of the automatic navigation system, which is easier than being a stretcher soldier on land!

However, seeing that those starships that jumped over in the same batch jumped away at least half a minute earlier than him, Li Yi also had a hint of realization in his heart.

"Autopilot is good, but the efficiency is significantly lower than manual operation, so try manual ...... when you go back"
