Chapter 60: The Ship Breaks Down Halfway......

Chaotic jumps are full of disasters and difficulties, and manual maintenance is really troublesome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Space jumps, chaotic jumps.

What does that feel like?

Xinglan felt that the entire exploration ship she was in had turned into countless space fragments, moving forward in an endless silver grid.

The grid of these silver chains is not fixed, but elastic, able to stretch and contract, and jump in some unique rhythmic fluctuation, which is the embodiment of the form of the space shelf, and the actual length of each grid is below the Planck length!

The light of the jump engine distorted the space shelf into a huge vortex channel, but instead of flying in its entirety, the Discovery ship turned into countless particle fragments that existed in different spaces and merged into the space shelf, because it was a chaotic jump.

There is only one particle that does not temporarily disintegrate: the signalron.

Xinglan was able to face the world with a clear consciousness, and in her perception, the outer layer of signals was still tightly attached to the outer shell of the spaceship, and their spatial distance was close to zero, which was strangely different from this world.

Strictly speaking, perception here does not rely on light, but something that Xinglan cannot say. All she knew was that even if she didn't have any form of sensor, she could still feel the world clearly.

Unbeknownst to her, this way of feeling was a perception that transcended the limits of the dimension and went straight to another singularity world with infinite forms: the soul.

Of course, this is too far away to mention for now.

In the infinitely short time segment, the quantum tide rises and falls......

Is this the most troublesome quantum evaporation of chaotic transitions? Xinglan watched nervously as these extremely short processes were infinitely stretched out in this world, to the point that the basic particles would collapse for them.

The signalman is firmly attached to the outer layer, Xinglan is not afraid of high-energy release, the signalman can block or even absorb these energies, the only trouble is that the energy disappears instantly, you know, even if the signalman is emptied, the energy will collapse and disappear.

Using the energy gushing out of the vacuum, Xinglan quickly replicates itself to fill in the signals that have lost energy and collapsed.

Instant is eternal, and time is also part of the space frame, although the energy of this transition engine is not enough to expand the time dimension, but the changes in normal space will also affect the time dimension...... Of course, this impact will not be too great.

The strong distortion of the space field created a huge gravitational field inside the Explorer, which was simply not something that ordinary creatures could withstand, and only metal could support.

No wonder, the Chaos Jump Ship couldn't have carried a person. According to the general theory of relativity, gravitational force is consistent with space distortions...... Eh, yes, the idea of using space warps to create artificial gravity might work, but I don't need it right now.

The fluctuations in the space gradually slowed down...... The chaotic jump is coming to an end.

……

A calm cosmic space, a starlit world.

space, ripples.

The distortion of the scenery spreads out in a flat circle to the surroundings, and at this time, the magnitude of this spatial fluctuation has completely exceeded the normal range of quantum fluctuations, and it has become more and more violent.

Zizizi......

With a burst of electric hum, the space gradually began to dent. This sound is obviously not propagated by physical particles, as it is capable of propagating even in a vacuum.

The microscopic particles in this area are abnormally active, the trajectory of probability waves is stirred by forces from afar, and the quantum bubble is constantly boiling.

Suddenly, a strand of black substance appeared out of thin air, flying like sand, and quickly formed a specific shape in a dazzling dance.

A black shuttle-shaped spaceship quietly emerged, not the miserable image after the chaotic jump, but neat and bright, safe and sound.

Bet won! The signal can survive the chaotic jump!

After getting excited, Xinglan came back to her senses and began to look at the destination she had reached in her first interstellar jump, well, this is ......

Eh...... Huh?

I thought about the many things that might happen after the chaotic transition, but I didn't think about it......

Relying on the external signal on the outside as an observer, Xinglan looked at the outside of the spacecraft speechlessly: "This ...... It's nothing! ”

The Discovery wanders lonely in interstellar space, and there is nothing here but a little starlight in the infinite distance!

Hey, hey! We've consumed so much energy to protect the spaceship, so you're going to show us this?

…… In fact, if you think about it carefully, Xing Lan also understands that the chaotic jump is completely random, and this kind of empty interstellar space in the universe definitely accounts for the vast majority, so this situation can also be understood...... That's weird!

Although it is reasonable, it is not psychologically acceptable to Ah Sinai! What's this sad story?

After a hard thought, Xinglan started the chaotic jump engine again with a resentful mood, there was not even a place to replenish energy, so she had to try her luck again!

Chaotic Jump...... Begin!

……

Lie down in a big groove!

This was Xinglan's first thought after he got out of chaos again, yes, whoever encountered this situation would have this reaction.

After breaking away from the chaotic jump once again, Discovery appeared in a dense asteroid belt...... You say it doesn't seem like anything? Attention, it is intensive!

So, although fortunately it didn't hit the big guy, the moment it returned to normal space, the whole body of the Explorer overlapped with hundreds of fist-sized asteroids!

I have to tell you a reality very sadly.,The so-called space jumping ability in the anime, which seems to be safe and sound as long as it doesn't appear inside the wall or something, is it a lie.,Is it okay to fill your body with air?

In view of the fact that there is no tentacle ability to automatically dispel objects in the way in reality, the space transition is generally chosen to choose the cosmic space with a very low material density, but the chaotic jump is not positioned!

So, the question arises, what happens when the material of the spacecraft overlaps with the material of the asteroid in the same space?

It's a lie to be caught up in another dimensional space or something! Xinglan was teary-eyed, when different atoms instantly overlapped in the same space, there was only one possibility: atomic fusion, forced nuclear reaction!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

In an instant, hundreds of fusion explosions of various sizes occurred inside and outside the hull of the spaceship, most of which were bright fires after the explosions, and the nuclear reaction of overlapping matter even detonated an antimatter storage tank!

Fortunately, Xinglan directly used signal prons to form a spherical blockade around the damaged area, frantically absorbing energy, and attaching a layer of semaphons to external matter to prevent the flying debris from causing secondary damage to the Explorer.

The losses were heavy, and at least, the jump engine was saved, which is really gratifying...... That's weird!

In the asteroid belt, puffs of smoke continued to rise from the surface of the black shuttle-shaped spacecraft, and the equipment inside was tossed enough.

But before she could take a breath, Xinglan looked at the dense asteroids around her, and couldn't help but have the urge to flip the table, if she stayed here any longer, the Explorer would be bombarded by the attacks of countless asteroids!

"Fortunately, after disconnecting some of the damaged parts, the main power system was still able to operate." Xinglan was a little glad for a moment, controlling the isolation gate to physically isolate part of the area, and then manipulated the antimatter energy furnace to ignite again.

Rumble!

The Discovery used the outer signal sublayer to force the asteroid to rush out of the asteroid belt under the impact of the asteroid before resuming its normal navigation state.

"The current state simply can't make another chaotic jump, and we must find a way to repair the damaged energy pipeline." Xinglan was a little anxious, the jump spaceship was not something that could be mass-produced casually by planet makers, but this was not a base for mortality, and there was no complete industrial equipment, so it could only be repaired by itself.

Standby system activation. 】

The blue-haired girl, tied to the main control room with a strap, opened her red eyes, and all the dormant systems within the mechanical body began to move again.

[The strap is detached.] 】

Slowly stretching out her little white hand to support the ground, Xinglan rolled over, and then sat up sensitively. This time, I didn't need to change my clothes, and I was already wearing overalls that could be used for extravehicular activities in space. Because there is no need for complex life-sustaining equipment, an otherwise bloated spacesuit can be made very lightweight.

In fact, for Xinglan, the biggest role of this outfit is that there are many pockets for tools......

Walking to the edge of the main control room, Xinglan directly issued a command to the Discovery Center through the signal block: the hatch is open!

The metal isolation door slowly moved open, and in front of him was a deep maintenance passage, and as Xinglan walked, the lights on the black-gray passage walls kept turning on one after another.

Brightly lit.

"The damaged area, it's really serious......" The girl's crisp voice sounded inside the Discovery, and then, as the last of the air was drained, the sound waves completely lost their medium.

The second isolation door opened at the end of the passage, and Xinglan walked to the door and looked outside, it was ...... Starry sky.

Well, a backpack is also needed. Muttering inwardly, Xinglan took out a backpack-shaped one-man maneuver from the cabinet next to her, which was capable of providing short-range propulsion in space.

After making sure everything was ready, Xinglan stepped out on the Discovery.

……

Light, a little harsh.

Xinglan narrowed her eyes, and the observation port in the center of her eyes shrank rapidly, and the dazzling ...... not far away Stellar?

A yellow, young main-sequence star with a moderate diameter, a current distance of 4 lights, and an estimated age of ...... 3 billion years.

"Large scope assembly." Xinglan gave the command, and a large number of signal subtons attached to the periphery of the Discovery were combined and deformed, forming an astronomical telescope for observing the starry sky.

Then, it is connected to the distant Lanxing through a signal subnetwork, and the parallel operation is carried out to simulate the nearby star map.

After a while, Xinglan sighed in disappointment, because this star had no formed planetary system at all except for this asteroid belt.

Well, forget it, let's give this star a name, it's called ...... Xinglan turned around and looked at the Discovery, which was still a little smoking, and simply called it Reef Star!

…… Well, the name is slightly ...... What's that.

After the routine naming work, a large number of semaprons flew out of the Discovery and rushed towards the reef star at the speed of light, replenishing the lost energy inside the star and replicating itself.

"Ahh Xinglan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Although there is no big discovery, it is not bad to be able to replenish the energy, and you can also leave some more energy for the operation of the Explorer." ”

Signalns are so useful for long interstellar journeys, but they are not omnipotent, for example......

Xinglan began to manually weld the broken shell alloy armor of the Explorer with a bitter face, and couldn't help but regret a little why she didn't bring a few construction machines with her?

Well, in fact, Xinglan felt that she would either successfully reach the goal perfectly, or she would be wiped out, where did she think that she would need to hang so half-dead......

"We'll have to clean up those debris by hand later......" the girl sighed faintly, her immature little face full of grievances, "so it's the most annoying thing to break down halfway!" ”
