At the beginning of 2063, a special report from Thomas from the advance team arrived at the base camp, and when he saw the words "urgent" and "top secret" marked by Wuyue himself, everyone's eyelids couldn't help jumping, thinking that something tragic should not happen.

For example, the White Lotus Princess collided with an extraterrestrial body, and for example, there was a rebellion within the advance team, but I didn't expect that it would be such an unexpected good thing to greet them.

Many scientific discoveries are often born by accident, but without any preparation at all, then they will only miss the discovery.

"That's it, congratulations to our advance team, congratulations to Thomas, for discovering a rare tide of dark energy." Cao Chuan said seriously.

"Do we have a way to study the transition technology?" Sun Ruixiang raised his head and was the first to ask.

"No... It shouldn't be that simple, at least, we're one step closer. After thinking about it, Professor Wang Xian and Professor Russell came to the same conclusion.

"It's a shame that I knew that the third batch of support and the Stars Exploration Program would be delayed for a few years." Sun Ruixiang was a little unwilling.

"Are you kidding... Even if we were to work fast enough, there would be no way to solve the transition technology in a few years! There is no point in delaying doing it at all. ”

"Everyone, be quiet!" Cao Chuan saw that the discussion below had a tendency to turn into a quarrel, and shouted, "What is unfolding in front of us is a discovery that everyone expected, so we don't have to regret what happened in the past." ”

"I'm proposing that we continue to follow Thomas's wishes and invest in in-depth research until the transition technology is completely available."

After Cao Chuan finished speaking, there was a chorus below, indicating that his proposal was supported.

Therefore, the first thing is to recognize Thomas for his outstanding contributions. His reward skyrocketed to 10 million merits, and he was envious of the bigwigs around him, who said that he had achieved it alone, and he didn't have to share it equally with others, so many merits were enough to get a piece of land with an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers to develop at will.

Here's how to dig deeper. Cao Chuan put forward his suggestions after sorting out his thoughts.

"Obviously, in the next few hundred years, human beings will not be able to open the jump channel and sail through the universe as if they are unknown, only with the help of the dark energy tides that occur in the universe."

"Therefore, what the research department needs to do is to find a way to capture the existence of dark energy tides, and even summarize the occurrence law and distribution location, so that it can be used by human beings."

"In addition, it can be seen from Thomas's discovery report that the dark energy tide has an effect on the target caught in it. Even damage, so we have to make sure that the ship, and humanity, have a way to survive the dark energy tides. ”

"Theoretically, the spatial dimension of the occurrence of dark energy tides is different from the conventional three-dimensional space we are in, and why they interfere with each other, some of which contradict our cognition, is also a question to be confirmed."

"If the above problems are solved, there will be a way to produce jump ships. Take, for example, the dark energy tides observed by Thomas. During the tide, space folds by a factor of two, causing the spacecraft to soar from 30,000 km/s to 60,000 km/s. If the whole journey was at wave, it would have been only 20 years since we set off for Centaur Alpha. ”

"In the end, when the jump spacecraft is produced, Bai Lian, Wuyue, and the captains have to master the skills, which is equivalent to the captain of the sea ship knowing how to navigate the wind and waves. The vast sea, with the winds and currents, and the skill of navigating rocky reefs. ”

"In addition, since the most difficult thing is the application of transition technology, I will find a way to contact the board of directors to solve it. As for finding and measuring the dark energy tides, we will leave it to the research department, so that in a maximum of 5 years, we can launch a prototype stage jump ship. ”

Cao Chuan's last words made the bigwigs look happy, which meant that they didn't have to worry about anything, since Mr. Consultant was talking about 5 years, then it must be 5 years, that is to say, around 2068, will they be able to get the jump spaceship?

"Mr. Advisor, you're not going to lie to us, are you?" Sun Daochang asked solemnly.

"Mr. Consultant never lies." Wang Xian added in a flat tone in the back, as if to give confidence to the rest.

"Yes, I believe Cao." Then Sophia repeated it earnestly.

Everyone is reassured, the only question is, how much merit does it cost to jump the ship? They have to accumulate tens of millions of dollars to buy one when the time comes.

…….

Three months later, Eris, an asteroid 97 AU from the solar system, is now home to nearly 100 researchers who are observing dark energy activity nearby.

The reason for choosing this place is that there has been a dark energy disturbance in the vicinity of Pluto, and it is easy to observe dark energy activity, and it is generally calm, not like a place where dark energy tides occur.

In addition, the researchers did not choose this place at the beginning, they also traveled to the center of the solar system, traveled to the asteroid belt, repeatedly explored, and after several failures, they confirmed that there were dark energy tides in such a remote place.

The researchers found that the dark energy "pool" 500 astronomical units away from Eris produces some "waves" every 3 days or so, that is, dark energy tides, which have the characteristics of high frequency and weak intensity, which is very suitable for their research.

However, their obligation is more to observe the existence, and even to replace the duty of the exploration department, to find a way to identify the occurrence points of dark energy tides on the map of the galaxy, whether random or fixed; determine the extent of the influence of the tides, duration; The most important thing is the fold of the space during the period so that they can take advantage of it.

Of course, the one who is really responsible for solving the problem of making the spaceship have a way to apply the dark energy tide is their honorary advisor, since he puts it down, Cao Chuan must solve the problem, he is a responsible person, and everyone has confidence in him.

Therefore, before Cao Chuan arrived, they focused and pragmatically carried out all kinds of measurements and calculations, and did not do anything else, and continued to accumulate data and experience until the end of 2063, when Cao Chuan arrived at Ershen Star on the Queen Nana with a heavy sodium reactor.

Cao Chuan's face was not good, "The conditions here are really bad, there is a delay of more than ten hours, and there is no way to surf the Internet freely, do I have to be accompanied by downloading materials?" ”

"I hope that there will really be a way to solve the problem in 5 years, and I have left 100% of my time margin anyway." He muttered that if he couldn't solve it, then he would really be a tragedy. (To be continued.) )
