Chapter 158: Stranded
Wormholes are a very special cosmic phenomenon, even if the Lanyu Federation, an advanced civilization that has mastered the technology of faster-than-light navigation, really wants to make a long-distance journey across the river system, it must rely on those wormholes formed by chance in the universe, otherwise they can only operate in the star fields of the same river system.

However, the observation and research of wormholes require very professional instruments and equipment, and Hope does not have such conditions, so Vivian's method of detecting the location of wormholes is to send detectors directly to the coordinates where the wormholes are located, as long as the detector enters the wormhole, it will naturally be discovered, after all, the environment inside the wormhole is completely different from the outside.
However, just now, after Vivian approached the location of the wormhole, she released hundreds of probes one after another, but all of them received feedback, and in fact, once the probes entered the wormhole, the communication between them and Hope would be interrupted.
In other words, that is to say, above that coordinate, there is no so-called wormhole at all, and after reaching this conclusion, Vivien couldn't help but exclaim.
In the long history of the Lanyu Federation, many wormholes have also been discovered, but she has never heard of wormholes that will suddenly disappear, and when she suddenly finds that she can't find the wormhole, Vivien is almost crazy, because that means that she will never be able to return to the Lanyu Federation.
According to the voyage records on the Cecil, this star field is very far away from the star field where the Lanyu Federation is located, because the star map here is completely inconsistent with the star map of the Lanyu Federation, and if there is no wormhole, it is completely impossible for a small escape ship like the Hope to return to the Lanyu Federation.
Vivian was anxious to send out more detectors, but was stopped by Li Muran, these detectors were found from Cecil, but there was no special recovery equipment on the Hope, and it was a trouble to recover them after they were released.
Although he also wanted to return to Earth, his mood was not as eager as Vivien's, so he was still relatively calm now, but after pondering for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and said to Vivian: "Could it be that Horace guy made some mistake when recovering the data, which caused the data to be biased?" ”
This possibility is still very high, Vivien's expression was also a little soothing after hearing this, but it only lasted for less than a second, and her expression became very ugly again, because according to the original estimate, more than five months after they left the Cecil, it would be depleted of energy, and it would turn into a giant void ship ruins at the bottom of the sea!
Even if she arrived now, she probably wouldn't be able to find the Cecil's voyage record from the rubble, and although ships usually had something like a black box, there was certainly no unknown ship like Cecil.
When Vivian fell into a panic again, Li Muran spoke again: "After you finished repairing the Hope, did you check its voyage records, and you also came here through the wormhole on the Hope, right?" ”
Vivian was overjoyed when she heard this, and she was overjoyed and sad several times in just a few minutes, which made her face a little pale, but she couldn't care about these at this time, and hurriedly operated it in the console, and mobilized the flight record of the Hope in the blink of an eye.
Li Muran looked at her like this, and knew that after she repaired the Hope, she must have carelessly not checked the Hope's sailing records, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly in her heart, and she didn't know if getting on her ship was the right choice.
After more than ten seconds, Vivien's angry voice resounded in the cockpit of the Hope: "Ah! Yes! Yes! I'm going to kill that idiot at Horace when I go back, that's more than a day's length!" ”
Although her words were very angry, her expression was joyful at this time, and after yelling, she couldn't wait to issue a new order, so that the Hope would turn around and fly towards the new coordinates.
Those crew members didn't know what was happening in the cockpit, so they were all a little puzzled by her new instructions, but no one didn't know how to ask questions, and they still carried out Vivian's orders very honestly, which made Li Muran quite satisfied, and he was most annoyed by those who couldn't figure out their situation and asked questions all day long.
Then it was more than a day of boring sailing, during which Li Muran still calmly followed Vivian to ask about the technique of piloting the spaceship, and although Vivian was very uneasy in her heart, she still patiently answered his questions, and Vivian herself became a little calmer after a long time.
However, this calm only lasted for more than half a day, and when Hope arrived at its intended destination, hundreds of probes were spilled out. The probes drifted out in the seemingly empty space.
But a minute passed, five minutes passed, and ten minutes passed, and all the probes still maintained contact with Hope, and none of them showed signs of entering the wormhole.
Maybe it was the previous blow that made Vivian numb, but this time, although her heart also sank to the bottom, she didn't lose her temper like before, but calmly analyzed: "This is not scientific!" In just over 10,000 years, there's no reason why a wormhole has just disappeared! And the voyage record of the Hope has not been deleted, it was just that the equipment was damaged and could not be read before, and there should be no deviation, what is wrong? ”
Li Muran was also thinking about the same question at this time, he stared at the various data on the projection intently, wanting to see if they were flying in the wrong place, but with the superficial cognition he had just learned, he could easily see that the Hope was definitely not flying in the wrong place.
He casually tugged at the projection, trying to find more clues, but inadvertently reduced the star map on the projection, and then the trajectory of their flight just now was also completely presented in his eyes.
Li Muran's movements couldn't help but slammed, he patted Vivian, who was still meditating, pointed to the flight trajectory and said, "Look there, the coordinates recorded by Cecil and the coordinates recorded by Hope are not much different from that star!" ”
"Say, is the wormhole moving around this star?" As he spoke, he pointed to the star in the star system.
This is a very bold hypothesis, and it is only a person like Li Muran who knows little about wormholes to put forward such a hypothesis, like Vivian, even if he discovers this, I am afraid it is difficult to think of this hypothesis, after all, in their textbooks, it has never been mentioned that wormholes will move.
But this is undoubtedly a lifesaver for Vivien, she immediately buried her head in her brain to calculate and reason, and only raised her head after half a ring, showed a helpless smile and said: "I'm afraid it's really as you said, but then we will probably continue to stay here for a while." ”
Li Muran raised his eyebrows and said, "How long does 'a period of time' mean?" ”
"Unfortunately, I don't know." Vivien shrugged her shoulders and continued to reluctantly, "But I have an idea that we should be able to reduce the amount of time we spend here. (To be continued.) )
