Chapter 39: Into the Wormhole

"Two chiefs, this is Dr. Norton, the leader of the tech group!" Dongyue took a thin middle-aged man to find Qin Lun and Robin on the bridge.

Compared to the young pilots and crew of the Attack, Dr. Norton is probably the oldest of all the Gise. He was wearing a dust-free white research gown, his skin was unusually fair, and his golden hair was close to his forehead, looking a little sloppy.

Qin Lun stretched out his hand and shook it with the doctor, his tentacles cold. Norton's body temperature is a little low, and the skin on his hands is still a little atrophied, and it is estimated that this person rarely comes out of his own research room and is a typical tech otaku.

"Hello, Doctor!" Robin gave a gentle smile.

"Two ...... Sir, Dongyue told me, you want the Attack to jump into the wormhole coordinates calculated by the tech team? Norton rubbed his hands together, looking a little excited.

"Dr. Norton, this ...... Is there a problem? With the Attack's abilities, you should be able to do it, right? Robin and Qin Lun glanced at each other, and they both felt a little miscalculated. They didn't seem to have considered that the Attack was just a small, independent warship, and that without the long-range leap of the Faith, all plans would remain on paper.

"No, no problem...... Oh, excuse me, I'm a little excited! Dr. Norton scratched his scalp and said with a sneer, "The Attack can roughly meet your requirements, but there are some things that need to be explained to you in person. Also as me personally, oh no, there's an extra request from the tech group! ”

"I think we should find a place to talk about it!" Qin Lun glanced at the bridge and found that some of the crew were paying attention to the movement here, so he immediately gave Robin a look and took the lead towards the war room.

Arriving at the war room, Dr. Norton seemed to calm down a bit, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Actually, with the Attack...... Or in other words, the technology of our Gies people has not been able to observe the folding wormhole! ”

"Doctor, you just said that the Attack can meet our requirements!" Robin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"Oh yes!" Dr. Norton's face was crumpled, and when he saw the other three people looking at him with burning eyes, he immediately sighed, "Okay, forgive me for being rude! This one...... With your knowledge, I'm afraid it's hard to understand what I'm going to say next! ”

"I think we get it, please try to explain it in layman's language!" Qin Lun and the three of them looked at each other with tears and laughter, the world of science and technology nerds is indeed not something that normal people can understand.

"To put it simply, the folded wormhole is a product of the four-dimensional space, and there is no zài in the three-dimensional world. At present, we Giss people can only simply use the transition theory to estimate the four-dimensional coordinates, but cannot capture the wormhole phenomenon on any instrument. ”

Dr. Norton slowly stiffened, "Only by entering the correct transition orbit can we avoid the space-time storm at the edge of the wormhole and observe the wormhole phenomenon with the naked eye!" In other words, this kind of jump is very dangerous, and the tech team cannot guarantee 100% accurate coordinates. ”

"What happens if the coordinates are offset a little?" Robin frowned slightly.

"Same fate as the Faith!" Dr. Norton replied without thinking.

"Doctor, now that you've come to a conclusion, there should be some other way to improve accuracy, right?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile.

"Yes! In fact, folded wormholes are the same as normal wormholes, with black and white holes connected to both ends, and folded wormholes also have a devouring mouth and an explosive exit. Dr. Norton paused as he spoke, then said calmly, "And the bursts of wormholes can transmit information to the outside world. ”

"I see, Doctor, it's related to that request from your tech team, right?" Qin Lun suddenly took a long breath, "Are you sure you want to do this?" You know, Attack is the only way we have the means to get out of the wormhole at the moment! ”

"Being able to see a folded wormhole up close is the dream of all Guise astronauts!" Dr. Norton laughed, "Besides, we'll be able to encrypt the observations back to the Attack!" ”

"Alright then, I hope you can be a qiē shun lì!" Qin Lun took a deep look at Norton and nodded solemnly.

"Sir Qin Lun, what kind of dumb riddle are you and Dr. Norton playing......" Looking at Dr. Norton who disappeared at the end of the corridor, Dongyue looked a little confused.

"Dongyue, I suddenly believe that you Gies will finally win this war!" Qin Lun smiled and patted Dong Yue's shoulder, and turned to leave alone.

"What is this?" The beautiful adjutant was a little frustrated, and looked at Robin, who was silent next to her, with a pleading expression.

"Dr. Norton just said that folding wormholes cannot be observed in the three-dimensional world, and can only be seen with the naked eye inside the wormholes. He can't guarantee the safety of the Attack jump, but if someone can confirm the correctness of the coordinates from inside the wormhole......"

"The gang of the tech team must enter the wormhole before the Attack and verify their coordinates!" Dongyue is not stupid, Robin understood halfway through speaking, and her face suddenly turned pale and bloodless.

"Well, that's what the doctor should mean, adding a catapult device to the rescue chamber should ensure that they can access those measured jump coordinates, but ......" Robin sighed, his face a little complicated.

"But the rescue pod doesn't have the power to get out of the wormhole...... "Dongyue's face changed unpredictably, and finally gritted his teeth and turned to walk to the bridge, "Dr. Norton and those scholars in the science and technology group are our most valuable treasures, this kind of thing can be done by other crew members!" ”

"Dongyue, wait!" Robin reached out and grabbed the beautiful lieutenant and shook his head gently, "The doctor did this deliberately, and someone else might be able to take the place of this mission." However, without their knowledge, it would be impossible to continue studying folding wormholes inside the wormhole!

The encounter with the Faith proves that your Leap Technology is lagging behind your opponents, and Dr. Norton wants to use their sacrifice to catch up with the enemy and avoid letting other spaceships fall into a similar trap. In addition to respecting their choice, we can only try to leave them enough resources for survival. ”

"How many resources can a rescue pod hold? In the vast cosmic wormhole, are they left alone to face death? Dongyue showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, but she still stopped and glanced gloomily in the direction of the technology group.

……

"Sir, get three sets of cipher signals, one for Dr. Norton and the other two members of the tech team!"

A sidereal day later, Attack received the agreed message from the scientists of the science and technology group who had entered the wormhole coordinates in advance. It's just that none of the Gise soldiers on the bridge have a smile on their faces, and they have already learned of the sacrifice of the tech group.

"It's less than 30% accurate, but luckily these Gies scientists are brave enough! I hope I won't encounter this kind of cosmic world again in the future, it's really terrifying, and I can't even control the way of death! Dean muttered in a low voice on the team channel, and the apostles, including Qin Lun, all had a trace of awe of the universe in this adventure.

"The only thing we can do is to make these brave people die as worthwhile as possible!" Balin took a deep breath, the self-sacrifice of Dr. Norton and the others made the members of the patrol team feel inexplicable pressure.

……

Enter Transition Coordinates...... 3, 2, 1, enter the jump track! ”

The Qiē around the Attack seemed to come to a standstill, a circle of ripples in the starry sky rippled, and the surface of the huge independent battleship flashed with colorful light, and the hull of the ship slowly became transparent, absorbed by a tunnel that suddenly opened in front of it.

"Oh, it's beautiful!" The crew on the bridge suddenly let out an exclamation of admiration.

As soon as it entered the leap orbit, a huge and boundless light wheel appeared on the projection screen of the battleship. Around the light wheel, a layer of folded wormholes like halo rainbows and water bubbles appeared in front of everyone's eyes in a visible way.

"What are those?" Poppy cheered and pointed to the glossy spiral in the center of the light wheel, which resembled a gear.

"It should be the orbit inside the wormhole that connects other jumpable coordinates!" Dean didn't seem to notice the person asking the question, and for the first time didn't speak sarcastically to Bobbie.

"Let the light brain calculate how long it will take to reach the other side of the wormhole!" Qin Lun looked at the beautiful scenery on the projection screen and asked Dongyue calmly.

"The surveyors reported that it would take a little more than three minutes for us to cross the edge of the wormhole." Dongyue cautiously replied.

"Sir, I've received another signal from Dr. Norton, this time it's clearer than before, he should be not far from us!" The Guise crew looked at the winter moon expectantly.

"We can't change the established course, the folding wormhole is a storage that even Dr. Norton doesn't know thoroughly, and completing the mission is more important than rescuing the doctor!" Dongyue shook her head a little reluctantly, watching the officer's eyes darken.

"By the way, what did the Doctor say this time?" Qin Lun glanced at Dongyue and asked casually.

"Hey, the doctor didn't send the scheduled signal this time, this set of mechanical code messages seems to be very long, and it will take a few minutes to decipher it!" Dongyue looked at the report in her hand and said suspiciously, "Could it be an observation record about wormholes?" ”

"No, Dr. Norton said that time in the wormhole is slower than the outside world, and from the point in time they entered, the doctor must have only spent less than half an hour here." Qin Lun's face suddenly changed drastically, "This is a warning, the doctor has found something unfavorable to us!" Winter Moon, Release Level 1 Combat Alert! Robin, Alex, let everyone get on the mech, and leave only the least number of operators in the bridge! ”

"Knock~~" A few minutes later, the Apostles and Guise Pilots sitting in the soldier's mecha felt a violent vibration from the outside world, and the entire Attack seemed to be about to fall apart.

"Sir, Dr. Norton's signal has been interpreted, this wormhole can't pass through the large inanimate matter......" Dongyue almost shouted and transmitted the voice to Qin Lun.

At this time, everyone sitting in the mecha was already able to see the brilliant light on the other side of the wormhole through the projection screen of the Guò soldiers!
