Chapter 370: The Interstellar Age, the Destruction of the Mother Star (7)
Three million light-years away, at the mouth of the temporary space wormhole in the Keling Galaxy, a space interstellar exploration ship just came out of the wormhole, immediately scanned the surroundings, and then docked to a star without the breath of a living planet on the side, and began to absorb the energy of the star.
At the same time, the sleeping explorers in the interstellar exploration ship woke up at the same time as they were charging.
Explore the interior of the ship, inside the conference cabin.
Thirteen people woke up and appeared here.
"The Blue Star detection equipment is still silent, which means that we have just experienced a hundred years of sleep and a hundred years of wormhole space shuttle navigation, and there is no gain!"
Glancing at the latest push from artificial intelligence.
Du Huaixiang said without any waves, they have been out for more than 600 years, and they have slept six times, failure has long become a routine, and it may be worth rejoicing if there are clues.
But failure could not shake his faith.
However, not everyone is as firm as him, and in the next second, Zhou Ailian suddenly stood up a little irritable and shouted: "One hundred years and one hundred years!"
More than 600 years have passed now.
Using wormhole space shuttle technology to sail, we can achieve 10,000 times the speed of light, so now we have walked in this direction for more than 6 million light years, and we have not found any trace of the blue star for more than 6 million light years, which is enough to prove that the blue star may no longer exist, or we have gone in the wrong direction at all!
It is just a futile effort to go on, a waste of our lives, a waste of our time.
I'm going back, I'm going back now!
My mother has been frozen and sleeping for 500 years, just hoping to see me for the last time, I can't bear to let my mother be frozen for another 500 years, even a thousand years, and my mother's body can't bear to freeze for another 51,000 years, so let's go back.
It only takes less than ten years to go home directly through plane coordinates and space jump technology. ”
Speaking of the back, his voice was already low, with tears in the corners of his eyes, with a little choking and crying, although participating in the search for the home star was his voluntary name, but at that time, everyone felt that the mother planet Blue Star should not be particularly far away from them, at most it was dozens or hundreds of light years away, and thousands of light years were possible.
After all, 3,000 years ago, they did not have particularly superb technology, and they always felt that they could escape smoothly only if they accidentally encountered a safe wormhole.
And normal wormholes will not teleport them far, and all the natural wormholes they have found so far, the farthest teleportation distance is only 10,000 light years.
So at that time, everyone took it for granted.
It is not difficult to find the home planet, and the mother planet, Blue Star, is not too far away from them, and may be back in a few years.
But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations, even if they were not sure which direction the home planet was, they sent a full three hundred small interstellar exploration ships, each choosing a direction to move forward.
There has been nothing to be gained.
The universe is not flat, not to say southeast, northwest, or at most eight directions, ten directions, no one knows where the boundary of the universe is, looking for the mother star in the case of unknown directions, they can only take the current place of residence as the core, showing a spherical shape to spread outward to find, up and down, left and right four-dimensional void need to be found.
Theoretically, as long as they continue to explore outside, and the blue star is not completely destroyed, there is no trace of destruction, as long as the exploration range is large enough, one day it will be able to find, or even if they can't find the blue star, at least they can find the galaxy where the blue star is located, and even the star field.
Although the human beings who escaped at the beginning did not know much about the universe, they still had some understanding of their home star and some galaxies near their home star, and the corresponding star maps also existed, and in theory, three thousand years of time would not have much impact on those galaxies, nor would there be much change, so as long as they found similar galaxies.
The Blue Star monitoring device will also ring.
However, many years later, of the 300 exploration ships that left, except for a few that were destroyed in the face of extreme cosmic disasters and sent back some distress signals, none of the exploration ships sent back any good news!
It was from that time that those interstellar exploration ships abandoned the original flight plan of flying and exploring at ten times the speed of light, and changed to a wormhole space shuttle at ten thousand times the speed of light, which is the fastest speed without affecting the operation of the Blue Star monitoring equipment.
At the same time, because the speed is too fast.
In order to avoid damage to the body, all people must go to sleep in a custom-built sleeping pod.
This not only ensures that the body will not be damaged, but also avoids boredom and wear out of life during long-term flights. Sleeping in the hibernation chamber can slow down the aging rate of human cells by a hundred times, even if it is only a hundred years of life, it can sleep for tens of thousands of years.
Not to mention that the lifespan of all human beings at this time, after genetic modification and other aspects of evolution, the average lifespan of people who have no special contributions at present is more than 200 years old.
After entering a deep sleep state, there are only two possibilities for them to wake up, one is that the Blue Star monitoring device detects information related to the Blue Star, at this time, the forced wake-up function will be activated, and the exploration ship will stop immediately.
The second is that the energy is exhausted and needs to be replenished.
They will also be forcibly awakened.
In about a hundred years, the energy of the interstellar exploration ship will be exhausted, so Du Huaixiang will say that they have been out for more than 600 years and have slept six times, and the extra few decades are the time to explore at ten times the speed of light in the early stage.
Then came 600 years of flying at 10,000 times the speed of light.
After so many years, all the interstellar exploration ships have basically explored, with their current civilization location, left and right, the four-dimensional void with a radius of more than 6 million light years, but there are still no clues to the parent star.
It's really hard not to suspect that either there is something wrong with the testing equipment, or that the Blue Star doesn't exist at all or has long been destroyed and completely destroyed.
Even nearby galaxies were destroyed.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to search such a large area of star fields and still not find any clues, so that their home star would not be tens of millions of light-years away, hundreds of millions of light-years away.
Did they have that sailing skills?
Some people even think that the so-called home planet was not made up by some ancient civilization scholars, or that other civilizations said that their civilization was shallow thousands of years ago, and their civilization did not admit defeat, so they made up such a story.
And made such a big move.
It is precisely because of similar remarks and many similar questions that Zhou Ailian's thinking can actually be accessed when they are asleep, but it is delayed.
So at this point there are people who don't want to continue exploring.
I want to go home, in fact, it is understandable.
