The warp engine roared, low and powerful; an inexplicable ripple rippled in the dark space. ==As the spacecraft advances, it seems as if there is water on which the ship is sailing; it's just that this wave spreads in all directions up and down, not just on a flat surface.
Thousands of spacecraft collectively accelerated, making the universe seem to have a wave of waves, rolling forward in the universe, spanning a billion kilometers horizontally, and stretching tens of millions of kilometers vertically (forward). The cosmic space that had been peaceful for hundreds of millions of years was finally broken; the resulting space ripples surged forward one after another.
The countdown is getting closer and everyone is ready to face the challenge. According to previous tests, each warp flight takes ten minutes. Now one warp flight can advance approximately 20 billion kilometers. 20 billion kilometers is really too small in the universe. The distance of one light-year is 9.5 trillion kilometers. In comparison, 20 billion kilometers is really pitiful. But this is already a remarkable progress for mankind.
Some ordinary people are now lying in the ecological cabin, especially minors. This kind of ecological cabin can greatly reduce the pressure from space by using magnetic field interference; and increasing the atmospheric pressure in advance can increase the body's resistance. However, it cannot be completely isolated, and the energy consumed cannot be ignored, so it cannot be used continuously and cannot be popularized on a large scale. It can only be made into ecological cabins; each ecological cabin can meet the needs of thousands of people.
Of course, for practitioners such as Zhang Jingyuan, let alone ten times atmospheric pressure and six times gravity. Even if it is multiplied ten times, it can be tolerated.
As the countdown ended, the spacecraft instantly entered a strange state; the surrounding space began to distort, ripples appeared out of thin air, and the people, objects, spaceships, etc. in the space began to stretch... but they were not objects. Elongated, but the space is elongated. Of course, objects in space are also changed. However, this change is in line with the change in space. People in the space feel that nothing around them has changed; only people outside the space will see such changes. It's like "I don't know the face of Lushan Station".
At this time, the spacecraft that is advancing at warp speed is actually in a state of subspace; this is the so-called subspace. It's not another kind of space. It is a semi-human individual caused by the local distortion of the original space. Just like the air inside and outside the fish tank, they are connected, but relatively speaking, the air inside the fish tank is also a semi-physical entity. View from the side of the fish tank. Objects in the bathtub will change. This is an optical phenomenon. But the objects in the fish tank don't actually change; and the same phenomenon applies here, but it's replaced by space. Of course, in theory. There will still be some differences; I can only say that this phenomenon can be used for reference and thinking.
"Wave..." There was a strange soft sound. This sound did not come from the hearing of the ears, but seemed to come from the perception of the soul. It's just that such a "voice" can only be heard by a few people such as Zhang Jingyuan. This is the phenomenon of connecting with distant objects after the space distortion reaches a certain level.
For a moment, Zhang Jingyuan even felt that the space was wrinkled like a quilt, and the middle was constantly compressed. To describe it, it was like a bowknot. It's just that this bow is a bit big - it's hundreds of millions of kilometers long, and the thimble is a huge thing like a spaceship. Fighters, flying saucers, etc. attached to the surface of the spacecraft travel together under the protection of powerful virtual physical defense technology.
Ten minutes passed quickly. From the perspective of ordinary people, nothing changes around them, only the pressure increases out of thin air - although space fluctuates, ordinary people are in space themselves, and everything is distorted with the distortion of space. The authorities are obsessed with scientific explanations. However, in the eyes of experts such as Zhang Jingyuan, they can see that space is constantly ripples; the pressure that increases out of thin air is actually caused by ripples in space. But these ripples are distributed in every corner, large and small, interlocking, and on average, they are very even. For the time being, there is still no technology that can completely prevent the pressure on the space itself.
Just after ten minutes, Zhang Jingyuan felt that the world was suddenly refreshed, as if he had come from a depressing environment to a sunny world.
"Dudu... first warp flight, perfect." The electronic voice filled with joy resounded in every spaceship and every corner of the spacecraft. Of course, semi-intelligent technology cannot generate intelligence and emotions, it is just the operation of software.
"Report the situation." Zhang Jingyuan also had to care about the status of the spacecraft at this time. After all, this is space, and Boss Zhang has already begun to rush into the tribulation period, but in the vast space, practitioners are also very powerless. Without the spaceship, Boss Zhang will have to run around for several years before he can return to the solar system; And not many people could be saved.
Technology, after all, is far beyond the cultivation civilization in some places. Different civilizations have different characteristics!
"Chen Guozhi, the commander of the Emperor spaceship, reports to you." Chen Guozhi is also a descendant of the Chen family, a rising star in the empire (Chen Feng). There are many top engineers and scientists in the family, and now it is one of the top aristocratic families in the empire. ; With its strong technical reserves, the family has mastered a large number of technologies, and of course has many high-tech industries.
Today, the commander of the Emperor spacecraft comes from the Chen family. Chen Guozhi's voice was steady, neither surprised nor surprised, "The overall condition of the spacecraft is perfect. The acceleration and charging time is 49 minutes, 37 seconds and 76 milliseconds, and the shuttle time is 10 minutes, 2 seconds and 27 milliseconds. The acceleration distance is 106.7 million kilometers, and the shuttle distance is 22.849 billion kilometers. The energy consumption is 1.33 standard energy blocks, of which 0.28 energy blocks are consumed in the virtual material defense of the spacecraft. All personnel are healthy, the spacecraft structure is intact, and the fighter jets and flying saucers attached to the spacecraft are perfect.
Information from other spacecraft has been received, and the first large-scale warp flight was completed perfectly.
A problem was discovered and the shuttle distance was 2.8 billion kilometers farther than expected. The theoretical analysis is as follows. This is the empty space of the universe, not the space inside the star system, and is less affected by the star system. Therefore, the universe is relatively flat. ”
"Okay!" Zhang Jingyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Well done, keep moving forward. We are one step closer to the advanced civilization of the universe!"
"Yes." Chen Guozhi answered calmly, not feeling complacent about being praised. "The spacecraft will take 30 minutes to conduct a self-inspection. After the inspection, if there are no problems, it is expected that the spacecraft will conduct a second warp speed test within an hour. Flying.”
"Okay. When you get to the Pearl Star Territory, I will personally guide you in your practice." Zhang Jingyuan drew a big piece of cake. But it is also the reward that Chen Guozhi deserves; the entire human spaceship fleet is commanded by Chen Guozhi; moreover, when others enter the ecological cabin, Chen Guozhi even needs to take command. While enduring huge pressure, he must be meticulous. work. Although he is already a master at the Golden Core stage, the pressure of such work is still great, especially the journey: 160 light years!
Half an hour later, Chen Guozhi reported again that all spacecraft were in perfect condition, and the spacecraft fleet would begin to accelerate again and the engines would begin to store energy.
Next, fly at warp speed 20 times in a row. Such high-intensity warp speed flight is unbearable for ordinary people. Not only humans on earth, but most people in the Lieyan family cannot withstand the huge pressure continuously. .
According to the plan, the spacecraft will fly smoothly for 20-30 hours at this time. After the physical condition of ordinary people recovers, the spacecraft completes strict inspections and will continue to shuttle. Traveling in space is not a wonderful enjoyment, but before setting off, everyone was already prepared, and even went through long-term exercises and targeted exercises. However, after all, practice cannot completely compare with the real situation.
Now, every ordinary person needs a break.
"Beep..." Zhang Jingyuan's communicator rang, and it was Lieyan Ming Ronghui who contacted him personally.
"Hello, dear emperor," Lieyan Ming Ronghui is not from human civilization after all, so there is no need to address him as "Your Majesty," but it is still respectful. "Our scientists just calculated that relying on a single spacecraft to shuttle would consume too much energy. Large. And if more than two spacecrafts travel together, the energy consumption will be huge. Reduced by about 27%. Within the scope of the functional relationship curve, the more spaceships, the better; based on our current technology, if seven spaceships with a distance of 1,000 kilometers or 150 spaceships with a distance of 100 kilometers move forward together, the energy consumption will be There will be only 30% energy consumption for a single shuttle.
Next, the Lieyan family will use two small spaceships with a distance of 100 kilometers to test. I don't know if the emperor is interested. ”
"Hmm..." Zhang Jingyuan squinted his eyes and thought quietly. It was obvious that Lieyan Ming Ronghui was exploring and excavating new ways of cosmic travel - energy, which is always the sharp knife above the head of technological civilization. Zhang Jingyuan himself is also a top scientist; his powerful cultivation has made Zhang Jingyuan's computational thinking ability surpass that of the central computer.
"This test is very dangerous and we will not participate. However, we recommend that you do not test it casually. There is a possibility of a collision during warp flight. This possibility is as high as 70%!"
"Huh?" Lieyan Ming Ronghui was startled. For Zhang Jingyuan, a top scientist and emperor, Lieyan Ming Ronghui felt a kind of shock and admiration that could not be described in words. Six hundred years old is really the envy of everyone in the Lieyan family.
With Zhang Jingyuan's reminder, Lieyan Ming Ronghui did not give up the experiment completely. He just evacuated all the people on the two spaceships involved in the experiment, and then used remote computer control to conduct the experiment.
In the universe, energy is so important; therefore, it is really exciting to discover that it is possible to reduce the energy consumption of spacecraft to 30% of the current energy consumption. The Lieyan family now has more spaceships than humans on Earth, but the accompanying population is less than 200 million. It is completely affordable to deploy two 100-kilometer spaceships for experiments; of course, with the wealth of the Lieyan family, It’s not worth the waste either. (To be continued...)u
