Episode 10, Chapter 11: Star Road

(ps: There is still an oh at night, after my health is all right, even the speed of writing books and revising manuscripts has increased.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info)

Today is four days after the explosion of the first space jump module, compared to the ordinary and orderly life of the people, at this moment, everyone who knows seems to be living in dire straits, and there is no punishment more cruel than this, worrying every day, for fear that aliens will rush into the Hope in the next second.

Fortunately, four days have passed, but the aliens still have no action, and there is still peace in the Hope, although the torture of waiting has always existed, but this still makes many people breathe a sigh of relief.

Early in the morning, Yao Yuan woke up with a knock on the door, he first subconsciously raised his hand to press the power switch next to the bed, but as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly remembered that he was sleeping in the captain's room, so he sat up directly, and then said, "Please come in." ”

A few seconds later, Wang Guangzheng walked in from outside the door, he watched Yao Yuanzheng slowly crawl out of the military bed bag, sighed and said, "I'll keep vigil tomorrow, why don't you go back and take a shower and get a good night's sleep." ”

Yao Yuan shook his head and said: "No, I'm here to keep vigil, I have the ability to predict and can sense the danger in advance, but you can't, so you have to use the self-destruct program as soon as possible, and this work must be carried out by me." ”

Wang Guangzheng sighed again, and did not refute, but pulled a chair and sat down and said: "The morning patrol has ended, there is no abnormality, the inside of the Hope is still running by inertia, all the energy and equipment are running perfectly, these are needless to say, only the external shielding layer is also operating normally, as long as the scientific explanation of the creation particles is not wrong, then I am sure that there will be absolutely no information transmitted, you can rest assured." ”

Yao Yuan was freshening up in the bathroom in the captain's room, and after a simple freshening, he sat on the captain's chair and said, "Am I still not at ease when you do things?" It's good that there is no problem, but don't let those aliens in the outside world hesitate, but we have made some mistakes ourselves, and this is really wronged...... How about Vaal? Or drowsy? ”

Wang Guangzheng didn't just sigh anymore, his face was full of sorrow, and he said after a long time: "Yes, the prophecy ability is overused, although there is no large-scale backlash, but every day is drowsy, and the body can't detect anything wrong at all, alas, this poor little girl, it is estimated that she is the most guilty these days." ”

The two were silent for a while, and after a long time, before the two had time to speak, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the captain's room, and in Yao Yuan's invitation to enter, Qi Xiaoniao walked in while yawning.

"I still haven't been contacted, and from the perspective of time, it will take at least ten to fifteen days for her to appear, but I stayed up until the early hours of the morning every day according to your instructions, and I was afraid that I would not be there when she appeared, so I didn't even turn off the computer." Qi Xiaoniao was not polite, found a chair at random and sat down, and said while yawning.

Yao Yuan also knew that Qi Xiaoniao had really tried his best, because that zero was really elusive, and no one knew where it was now, which was really helpless, but Yao Yuan didn't blame him for this matter, but suddenly said: "Since you came here so early, then I also have something I want you to help me investigate...... Do you think that the alien civilization outside the Hope, their destination is there, will it be the location of Noah 1? ”

Qi Xiaoniao was stunned for a moment, he sat up straight and said, "Why do you think so?" This alien civilization outside, its scientific and technological level is at least the level of the fifth industrial revolution, not to mention, let's just say that the galaxy we are currently in, there are so many terrestrial planets and gas planets, these are all a lot of resources, why can't their purpose be here? ”

Yao Yuan hurriedly pressed the button on the desk, and suddenly a constellation map appeared on the wall at the end of the captain's room, and its constellation map was the constellation map of the galaxy where the Hope was located and the surrounding galaxies, and there were several marked galaxies flashing with red light, which was the possible location of Noah 1 deduced by the central computer, and it was also the final destination of the Hope's five consecutive controllable space jumps.

"Qi Xiaoniao, you see, this is the location of Noah No. 1 that we have speculated so far...... How many locations are possible, and you know that, right? In astronautics, the importance of the position of the stars, it can be said that even the advanced cosmic civilizations that have reached the interstellar gate still rely on the star path marked by the star position to navigate. Yao Yuan pointed to the constellation chart and said.

Qi Xiaoniao nodded in understanding.

In fact, this part of the content is recorded in the messages transmitted by the alien merchants, which is a detailed record of the cosmic civilization navigating the universe.

After all, the starting point of human civilization is too low, and the third industrial revolution has not even rushed out of its own galaxy, and more extremely, it has not even gone out of its own home star range, it can only be regarded as a primitive civilization, not even the most basic cosmic civilization, so it is impossible to know the basic knowledge of navigation in the universe.

You must know that the universe is too big and too big, even if you observe distant stars or other stars through various instruments and equipment, if you want to go there, it will take decades, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to go there at the speed of light, such a size is not at all imaginable by ordinary things, and for cosmic civilization, to sail from one location to another, it is simply impossible to travel or walk inside the planet, as long as the general direction is correct, it is only a matter of time to reach the destination. It's completely impossible in the universe, and the simplest point is, how do you determine the location of your destination?

To discuss the location of a location, the first thing you need is actually a reference, for example, you can say that the apple is on the table, then the table is a reference object relative to the apple, you can also say that the southeast, northwest, up and down, then relative to these directions, the earth is a reference, so what about the universe? You can't point to a void and say it's a reference, can you? And because of the distance, once the distance exceeds a certain level, then in addition to the star, other stars are simply unobservable, for example, in the universe far away from the earth, the only thing that can be observed can only be the sun, the star, the earth does not emit light, nor does it emit any obvious radiation, for the universe, it is actually an invisible stone in the dark.

Because of this, to sail in the universe, the first key point is the route map, and the route map is composed of one star after another, they are connected into one star road after another, and for the cosmic civilization, navigation can only be from the galaxy where one star is located, to the galaxy where another star is located, such a way similar to jumping to sail, it is absolutely impossible to sail from one dark void to another, the only consequence of this is that this civilization completely loses its direction, The ultimate result may be annihilation in the dark and cold universe.

On the other hand, compared with the cosmic civilization that has not mastered the curvature navigation technology, it takes almost hundreds of generations of its race to sail from one star to another, and the time spent by the third-level cosmic civilization with the curvature navigation technology can be calculated in years, but in the same way, the curvature navigation technology is not as perfect as imagined, and the most critical point is the silent state during the voyage.

Yes, when the curvature is running, the spaceship in it is completely unable to receive all the information around it, and it can't even look around through the light, because the creature or spaceship in it at the moment is in a state of "super" light speed, and the transmission limit of the information itself is the speed of light, in other words, the spaceship in this state is purely blind, unless it is like when the Hope meets the alien merchant, it lays genesis particles in front of it, and when it enters the genesis particle area, Only then can we know that there are genesis particles outside, and only then can we come out of the curvature navigation state and return to the normal state of space, and only then can we observe everything around us.

Therefore, it is impossible for the cosmic civilization with curvature navigation technology to cross the distance of several stars to go to the extreme distance, which is too dangerous, and the most likely is to sail from the current position to the nearest star, and then through observation and calculation, correct the data of deviation in navigation, and then start a new round of navigation again, and so on, until you reach your destination.

Yao Yuan briefly explained the so-called star path, mainly to Wang Guangzheng next to him, and then he continued: "In the past two days, I have been using the artificial intelligence matrix of the central computer to carry out simulation calculations, and the calculation is the galaxy where we are located, and the distance from the surrounding galaxies and the star path are possible, and the results I got are very surprising...... The location of this galaxy is not suitable for becoming a transit station, it is a little far away from the surrounding galaxies, except for this star path......" As he spoke, Yao Yuan continued to press something on the table, and soon, the dense stars on the screen began to fade, and finally there was a star path composed of several stars connected by silver light, and at the end of the star path, it was one of the several destinations calculated by the central computer, which was the galaxy that might have Noah Noah-1!

Qi Xiaoniao was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time before he said, "Speaking of which, it's not a bad thing for us to meet this civilization here......

Wang Guangzheng suddenly said anxiously: "How can it not be a bad thing? We're hovering on the tip of the knife right now, and maybe we'll be done in the next second! You know that, right? Lao Yao sleeps in the captain's room every day, just to prevent that civilization from breaking into the Hope, and he is ready to blow up the Hope at any time! ”

Yao Yuan stopped Wang Guangzheng from continuing, and he also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if the destination of this civilization is really Noah No. 1...... Then it might not be a bad thing for us to delay them here, at least it would be better to deal with them with the ruins deception plan than to save Noah One, and we would have to fight them hard with them now......"

"There's another thing I'm worried about besides that."

Yao Yuan looked at the two of them and said, "I have already encountered a third-level cosmic civilization here, so ......"

"When Noah 1 is saved, how many more cosmic civilizations will appear? Is there a third-level cosmic civilization in there? Even more terrifying...... What about the fourth-level cosmic civilization? ”
