Chapter 1886 The Child from Mars
Whoosh!
A meteor dragged a long tail, piercing the curtain of darkness, bringing a ray of bright light to the vast universe, especially the long light tail, which was even more elongated. to hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers.
Such a long ray of light, but it goes straight forward. No matter whether it is a rock, a planet, or even a star, it is not affected by the gravity of the star, as if the law of universal gravity has lost its effect on it. , the phenomenon of gravitational lensing will naturally not occur, and it has become the most peculiar light in the universe.
In this way, perhaps the only completely straight beam of light in the universe, dragging its long tail, passed through galaxies after galaxies, passed through star gates after star gates, and started from one star to another. The distance from universe to universe can no longer be calculated in light years, but must be measured in universes.
Human beings who are still using chemical fuels will be unable to reach the distance of this beam of light for only one second after exhausting hundreds, thousands or even ten thousand years. This shows how far this beam of light spans.
Just because this beam of light does not simply travel at the speed of light, but transcends the material world, if its flight path is drawn in space, then the trajectory of the light it flies is not actually a straight line. Instead, it meanders like a snake, even going around in circles more than once, and has nothing to do with a straight line.
This is the continuity of time and the discontinuity of space.
Even light cannot avoid it, let alone escape.
"Finally. Almost there."
Tiga transformed into light and moved forward in the light.
This is the quantum realm entered in the form of photons. It has no entity, just pure energy. It is the necessary posture for Ultraman to move long distances and travel across galaxies. It is also the human beings on earth in the Showa era' The 'red light ball' that is often seen is what Ultraman looks like when he comes to the earth and when he leaves the earth.
Low energy consumption, high efficiency!
With this attitude, it can fly in the universe for a long, long time and span far, far distances.
It is a basic skill that any Ultraman with some experience can use.
But even if it reaches the speed of light, it is still as slow as a snail on the scale of the universe. Not to mention crossing a galaxy, even passing through a star system will take a year or more.
This is the most intuitive explanation of vastness and insignificance.
No matter how big you are, you are still extremely small compared to the universe; no matter how strong you are, you are still insignificant to the universe.
What if the world is destroyed?
What about destroying stars?
Not to mention the universe, just a galaxy has hundreds of billions of stars and hundreds of billions of star systems. Destroying stars and annihilating the world is a disaster for a planet, but for the galaxy and even the universe, But it's nothing worth mentioning, worse than a piece of dandruff on a person's body.
The more ignorant you are, the more arrogant you are; the more knowledgeable you are, the more awe you feel.
The biggest gain from Diga's trip was not the 'accidental' acquisition of a batch of weapons and equipment, but the knowledge of the vastness of the world and the vastness of the universe.
The number and vastness of the universe makes the power of individuals appear particularly weak. Even Ultraman is not much better than humans compared to this vast universe.
This also made Diga realize that the reason why Ultra's father established the Space Guard was to allow Ultra warriors to go out, visit more planets, see more worlds, and interact with each other. More friends, only with a broad vision and enriched knowledge will they not be arrogant and look at the sky from a well.
This is probably one of the reasons why the Kingdom of Light has only produced two ‘scum’, Beria and Tregear, after so many years.
With this thought in his mind, Diga plunged into the 'star gate' floating in interstellar dust in front of him. It was spherical, lens-shaped, and had a volume equivalent to ten earths. It was completely black, but There are countless luminous galaxies on it, like a screen, showing the galaxy opposite the 'door' to the universe.
This is completely different from the 'glowing star gate' that Diga passed through when he left. It can even be said to be the opposite.
The whole body is luminous, like the bright sun, shining in the interstellar dust. Due to the Tyndall effect, winding 'light paths' are produced, which seem to guide travelers across the universe; and in front of us This is the real 'Star Gate' because it is covered with stars.
After Tiga rushed in, all the galaxies engraved on the star gate began to 'zoom in' rapidly. As Tiga continued to move forward, the size of the galaxy in front also increased simultaneously, and The distance between galaxies is increasing rapidly, and it looks like the surrounding galaxies are rapidly moving away.
But the galaxy that is very close at hand still doesn't get any closer, which feels like running to death.
I saw the mountain peak very early, but there were still several hours of driving to the foot of the mountain.
What Diga is facing at this moment is such a situation. He has been flying forward at the speed of light, but the distance he has closed is very small. On the contrary, he is 'far away' from the surrounding galaxies, which has become an unreachable distance. and.
"This star gate is very interesting."
Diga thought in his heart, according to the latest information from the Kingdom of Light, the star gate is not only a 'light path', the ones discovered so far There are dozens of types, and there must be more types of star gates, but they have not yet been discovered and recorded by the Kingdom of Light.
This also makes people feel more deeply about the magic of the universe and the magnificence of the Star Gate. I can only say that the world is full of wonders!
Thinking in my heart, Tiga has stopped and changed from the light quantum form to the physical appearance. At this moment, he has left the star gate and completely entered the universe. Naturally, he can use the hyperspace channel. .
Raise your arms and cross them in front of you. As the colorful timer shines, a large amount of light energy is released, transported to both hands, and then condensed into two beams of light. , were launched from Tiga's palm, collided with each other a thousand meters away, and spread immediately, forming a diffuse ball of light in an instant, which was the hyperspace passage - wormhole!
“Next stop, the solar system!”
As Diga said, he flew into it and disappeared in an instant. Then the temporary wormhole built with light energy also collapsed and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared, leaving the universe The original darkness was restored.

At this time in the solar system, the sun, as the absolute core, is bringing a group of younger brothers: the eight planets and There are a lot of attached satellites scattered throughout the solar system. Large and small dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, rocks, ice, interstellar dust and other materials, along with the billions of stars in the third cantilever of the Milky Way, are moving at 222 times per second under the strong gravity of the core black hole. Running wildly through the universe at a speed of ten kilometers.
However, although the speed is so fast, it is just like riding a train with a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour. Even if you jump up on the train, you will not be left behind by the train. Even if it were not for the vibration of the train and the scenery outside the window, The changes are so dramatic that you may not even feel like you are in a high-speed moving train.
And this is the real universe. All objects are in motion all the time. When leaving a planet, you need to consider the speed of the planet. When you leave the solar system, you need to consider the speed of the solar system. When you leave the Milky Way, you need to consider the speed of the Milky Way. operating speed.
It is equivalent to a crowded square. Everyone is moving. Once they are separated, it is very difficult to see each other again. Fortunately, the movement of the stars is traceable and regular. You only need to Precise calculations can lead to precise encounters.
Just like the current space transport spacecraft that departs from Mars and heads to the Earth, after it completes its acceleration, it 'slides' in the empty universe. It will not start to slow down until it sees the Earth, and then Entering the earth's gravitational orbit, and then landing on the ground.
With the development of science and technology, this series of operations does not need to be completed manually. All of them are left to the computer's intelligent program to run by itself. Complex calculations are done in the data space invisible to the naked eye, allowing This space transport spacecraft continued to 'slide' along this track that only existed in the computer, and finally arrived at home on Earth.
For this reason, after the acceleration of the spacecraft was completed and the autopilot function started to operate, the captain and deputy captain took their eyes away from the main console and turned to other things.
Whether you are drinking tea, taking a rest, browsing the news, watching movies, etc., you always have to find something to do to pass the rest of the 'boring' time. Otherwise, this journey will be too boring. .
Although, according to regulations, even if autonomous driving is turned on, at least one driver needs to stick to his post and stare at the dashboard meticulously.
It’s just that this regulation has long existed in name only. The root cause is the autopilot function of the space transport spacecraft. In the six years of earth-to-fire transportation, there has not been a single accident or error. Especially for experienced drivers, the label of 'safety' has long been stamped in their hearts. Only when they have gained the trust of the majority of drivers can they safely focus on other things.
This is also the norm in all walks of life in human society. When you first enter the industry, you are cautious and strictly abide by the rules and regulations. But when you become accustomed to everything, you basically start to do all kinds of things just to be lazy. Illegal shortcuts are like the pilots of spaceships. Basically, after turning on the autopilot, they go about their own business. At most, they take a look from time to time to confirm that there is no problem. It is impossible to find many people still there. Strictly abide by the rules and regulations, and such people are not so popular.
Human beings are naturally lazy. When working, they want to turn into a "lazy dog" and don't want to move away for a second. After all, who can work hard for this salary? At most, they can touch it seriously. Yes, after the mental period, you will immediately become sluggish and start counting the seconds to live your life.
Just like now, the automatic driving function is basically connected with "fishing". Once the automatic driving function is turned on, the driver will "automatically" start fishing.
Yamazaka, who was wearing a TPC uniform and a collar badge representing the captain, skillfully took out a package of exquisitely packaged tea leaves from the small drawer next to his seat, carefully shook out a few pieces, and dropped them into the space cup. After collecting the tea leaves, pour half a cup of boiling water into the space cup.
In an instant, the aroma of tea wafted out and dispersed along with the hot air, filling the not-so-large cockpit with the aroma of tea.
“It smells very good, Captain!” The vice-captain with the Cangtian ID card on his chest immediately praised: “It’s a flower-like fragrance that I haven’t appreciated for a long time. I want to take a good look at it this time when I return to Earth. "
"Yes!" Captain Yamanaka closed the cup and looked at the vast starry sky and the brightest star on the screen in front of him, and said, "I really hope the earth will be hot. There can be more flights.”
Although TPC has normalized space transport ships between the Earth and Mars, and a year ago, there were no space transport ships between the Earth and Mars. Then it only transports cargo, and a cabin for passenger transportation was rebuilt to allow people from Earth to go to Mars and people from Mars to return to Earth, thus increasing the exchanges between Earth and Mars.
However, no matter how advanced human science and technology is, it cannot violate the natural laws of star movement. The flight from Earth to Mars still has to follow the Hohmann transfer orbit, rather than taking the shortest straight line between two points. This means that the distance between the two planets is The further the distance, the longer it takes.
Even if space transport spacecraft are generally equipped with Max power systems, it is said that they will be replaced with new, more efficient Max power systems in a while, but this will only make the Earth-to-Fire flights last longer.
When the distance between the Earth and Mars is too far, the cost and time of transportation will become very high. It is far worse than when the distance between the Earth and Mars is closer. It is cost-effective to have a centralized transportation. Therefore, in the every two-year cycle of geo-fire transportation, geo-fire flights are out of service for nearly half of the time, and they can only be restarted when the earth "catches up" with Mars.
Therefore, the normalization of ground-fire flights is only compared to the fact that there was not much time to transport cargo throughout the year. It is still an untimely flight. Travel not only needs to be planned in advance, but also to leave a margin. Respond to emergencies.
Originally, the Earth-to-Fire flight has reached the suspension stage, but this time the 'cargo' is somewhat special, so an extra flight was specially opened to allow Captain Yamanaka and Captain Yamanaka, who were supposed to spend the 'suspension' on Mars, to Vice Captain Cangtian was able to return to Earth from Mars and stay on Earth until the Earth-fire flight restarted.
This is equivalent to giving them a long vacation, and they still stay on the earth, which is not very beautiful at all.
The two of them were so excited that they had already planned what they would do during the holiday, so much so that they couldn't help but discuss it now.
“I’m really grateful to the person who invented summer vacation.” Vice Captain Cangtian said sincerely, looking at the screen on the right. What was displayed there was the picture of the cabin. It was not the usual adult, but A group of primary school students were chattering and discussing whether there was a flawless jade on the earth. The blue sky, the endless sea, the vast desert, the leafy flowers and plants
These 'common senses' that humans on earth are accustomed to, are actually wonders that these children have never seen, like Children born and raised in the city cannot tell the difference between wheat seedlings and weeds.
