Zhou Qing stood beside Zhang Jingyuan, quietly observing the exploration situation. In the expedition team, only Zhou Qing is the most suitable, not to mention anything else, just a matter of image, so that the old smoke scars and wooden stakes are excluded. Not to mention that Zhou Qing also understands space technology and is a very good representative!

Another batch ......of detectors was damaged again, and after the discovery of this wormhole, everyone began to compete, and this is already the third batch of detectors. Wormhole detection, but there is still no progress, and every time a particular distance is detected, the detector will be damaged. This is due to the enormous spatial pressure and the churning of the vortex of space-time.

Exploring a space-time vortex isn't easy, not as simple as we look at one. First of all, the universe is inherently dark and lightless, and the space-time vortex itself is also a spatial fluctuation, invisible to the naked eye. It's like the Earth's magnetic field, which we can't see directly without the help of special instruments and then computer graphics.

At this moment, there is a three-dimensional projection in front of Zhang Jingyuan and others, which is a projection of a wormhole. This projection is marked with the size ratio: 1 cm = 1 million kilometers. The current wormhole is more than one meter in diameter, which means that the actual influence is enough to exceed 100 million kilometers, which is almost equivalent to the orbital diameter of Mercury in terms of diameter. And the height is as much as half a meter! It's like the shape of a thumbtack, but it's broken in the middle of the tip of the nail - here, it's not yet explored.

Because the continuous three-wave detector was damaged, the number behind it was blurred, and it could not be explored for the time being. We can only wait for the technology department in the back.

The "brush ......" teleportation array lit up, and in this spacecraft with a size of hundreds of kilometers, the teleportation array was a very convenient way to communicate; An old man with gray hair walked out.

"Headmaster?" Zhou Qing exclaimed. The person who came was the president of the Second Space Technology Institute of the Empire, Zhang Qi. It's the same as a few decades ago, it still looks old, but if you look closely, you can see that the old man has a ruddy complexion, and he is comparable to a young man!

"Zhou Qing?" Zhang Qi looked at Zhou Qing beside Zhang Jingyuan, with a surprised expression, this young man's graduation certificate was personally approved by the old principal. "You discovered this wormhole?"

"It's not. It was our team who found out. In fact, at first, we just thought it was an ordinary space-time vortex. ”

"Good! In the future, your portrait will be hung in the academy! The old headmaster complimented. The portrait is not a photo of you, but a person who has made a significant contribution to society, and a special national painter paints it himself. And then it hangs in the colleges. However, only one is genuine. The rest are photocopied copies; As for the original portrait. Of course, it is hung in the graduate school, which has become a rule that does not become.

"......" Zhou Qing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Haha......" The old professor patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder. No more words were spoken. Then he bowed his hand to you Zhang Jingyuan, "Taizu." ”

"Ready?" Zhang Jingyuan didn't care too much about anything else, this person is also his descendant after all. Some people joked: Now one in 10,000 people surnamed Zhang in China has a blood relationship with Zhang Jingyuan; That is, there are tens of billions of people who have a relationship with Zhang Jingyuan. Although this is an exaggeration, it also illustrates the impact of the national surname on social development. There are even some family planets, and the whole planet has one surname! For example, the planet of Zhang Jingyuan's brothers.

"Ready! You can rest assured that I will do things! Let's go to the real yàn room, where there is a receiving device and a perfect computer array. Zhang Qi smiled, not looking like a majestic principal, but an old naughty boy. But just now, the old teacher is refitting a new detector in the real yàn room, a detector made of degenerate materials with a honeycomb structure throughout. As mentioned earlier, such a material structure is directly constructed from the atomic nucleus or even protons, neutrons and angles, but because of the honeycomb structure, the material is not exaggerated in density as tens of thousands, only 15 (the density of water), and its sturdiness is like tofu when crushing diamonds. Nowadays, the average detector has failed in a row, and such materials have to be used; However, not to mention that such a material is difficult to process, its own value is immeasurable.

The real yàn room here is located in the center of the ship, and is the best defended; The real room itself is designed as an in-ship escape pod, and in the event of danger to the spacecraft, the real room and scientific personnel will be protected first.

With a length of thousands of meters, a height of tens of meters, and a width of hundreds of meters, the core computer array is a tiny model of destiny computer, covering an area of 200 square meters, and its computing power is far from being comparable to that of civilian computers.

Soon, a new detector was sent again. This time, there was only one, but it was ten meters in size, and the entire body was made of new materials, and every fragile core, such as the computer, was wrapped in degenerate material, and then the entire detector was protected by virtual physical technology.

In terms of exploration, Huaxia prefers virtual physical protection, because it is colorless and invisible, which is conducive to the work of the detector.

The ten-meter-sized probe, which is so inconspicuous in the universe, swayed towards the space-time vortex, and finally flew slowly along the trajectory in front.

"Calculating space-time, time is accelerating, accelerating...... 1 billionth, 3 billionths, 20 millionths......"

"Calculating space-time warps...... No change! No change? A scientist's eyes widened suddenly, "Why is it the same?" Is the wormhole shrinking? Oh, got it, got it! It turns out that the space is reduced in proportion! That is to say, although it seems to us that the upper part of this wormhole has an influence of more than 100 million kilometers, and the entrance to the core reaches tens of thousands of kilometers, and the wormhole is constantly getting smaller downward, and the diameter of the places that have been explored is only hundreds of kilometers; But the interior of the wormhole is always tens of thousands of kilometers away.

This is one of the secrets of space, the inside is the inside, the outside is the outside! Wow, if we can crack it, using this technology, we can combine it with small space technology to achieve space compression! Just being able to not crack this technology is enough to take our space technology one step further, and we can compress a space of tens of meters into a portable backpack! ”

One scientist after another screamed with joy, and everyone was excited about the miracle they had seen.

"Ready, ready, everybody! The detector is about to cross the danger line! Zhang Qi yelled.

I only saw that in the virtual wormhole model, a red point of light was approaching the death line of the first three groups of detectors. Brush...... The screen was all blurry for a while, and then it became clear.

"The flow of time has reached, and the amount is ...... The speed of time in the standard cosmic space is 1/100,000 and is still slowing down...... It's so slow here. There is nothing around, the detector signal is not continued, and it is fast to return to ...... It was late and the probe lost contact. ”

"Look at the number of jù models!" Zhang Qi shouted in surprise.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that with the support of a small number of jù, the computer was frantically calculating and deriving. Then a new, asymmetric model appeared!

This model is like two pushpins facing each other, and the previous line of death is the position of the tip of the needle, and it is also the smallest position of the wormhole. After this point, it is another even larger "pushpin", which is more than ten times the size of this side.

"Wormhole! This is a wormhole! All the people were cheering, and some even shed tears of emotion.

"In the end, the detector signal disappeared completely, and no signal was received within a light-year radius!" Zhang Qi is operating. "The following scan of the signal within a radius of 10 light years, a full scan within the 10 light year range, it will take at least three months to complete, and we will explore the current situation first."

"Obviously, this is another space! Is it another universe? "Everyone was still excited, and they were shivering with excitement when they walked.

"Hmm." Principal Zhang Qi suddenly walked up to Zhou Qing, "Zhou Qing, what do you think?" Come on, say it and see, don't be afraid, scientists often make mistakes. Mistakes are also a ladder of progress! ”

"Ah...... Okay, thanks Principal. And the boy was ugly.

In my opinion, this could be the legendary subspace. I've always had a conjecture that our universe is like a mille-feuille, but each layer is different in time and space, and even moves relatively. This movement is due to the difference in time and the direction of movement of the universe.

If we are able to enter another layer of the universe and then come back to our universe, we will be able to travel across space. In fact, such conjectures have always existed, but no evidence or anything like this has ever been found.

And this time it was different, and we found the evidence, which is the wormhole. But again, in my opinion, the wormhole itself is a defect in the space-time of the universe, which may be the result of the relative movement of the two cosmic planes, and the time for which this wormhole exists may not be too long, but it should not be too short. But no matter what, we should take the time to explore! ”

"Good boy, not bad, not bad. The idea is very creative. Two layers of the universe, moving with each other? Well, if that's the case, that's really wonderful. Melaleuca universe? So does the universe have a priority? ”

"I don't think it's possible to say for sure. Maybe it's like a mille-feuille, it doesn't matter what the priority is, everyone is very similar, but the location is different. It may also be like an onion, with an inside and an outside. There are many situations, and we need to verify them carefully, calculate them carefully, and verify them boldly. ”

"Good boy, come and be my assistant." Zhang Qi looked at Zhou Qing with satisfaction.

"Ah...... Okay, okay! Thank you, principal, thank you so much, principal. Zhou Qing nodded violently. (To be continued......)
