However, the change of space is just the beginning! Next, from the demonstration animation, it seems that the distance has not increased much, and the size of the star has not changed much; but the brightness of the light is indeed decreasing rapidly, as if layers of films are constantly being added in the middle, so although the distance has not increased, the light The brightness is constantly decreasing, as if the world is separating!
Finally, when the change reaches a certain level, the bright star will only have an oval-shaped spot, and then the spot begins to lengthen and become thinner...
At the same time, the surrounding starry sky seemed to be lengthening, and the starlight turned into colorful lines. Countless starlights were tangled together to form parallel rays of light; however, the change did not stop. After about ten seconds, the light began to They are no longer parallel, but are converging together; just like entering a funnel, they begin to become denser, and continue to become thinner and elongated. It is obvious that the distance between light waves is getting longer. Yes, what is demonstrated above is actually You can see the changes in light waves. ●⌒,
Click! The demonstration was paused, Zhu Danfeng appeared in the center, her red lips slightly opened, and a slightly hoarse but seductive voice sounded, "In this demonstration, it seems that the demonstration took less than a minute, but in fact, in my feeling, This period of time should be several years long. To be honest, I don't know how long it will take. There is no special feeling. If there is an instrument to record it, it may be possible to calculate the time by observing the decay of light, the changes of particle elements, the twinkling of stars, etc., but here is the only animation I can do. I can only say that at that time. It feels like several years.
At that time, I had been sealed and was wandering freely in space. After entering a star system, I suddenly felt an undercurrent. It's like an undercurrent in the ocean, but this is an undercurrent from space.
It was like... well... it was like a hard stone wall suddenly turned into quicksand; then I had no ability to resist and was sucked in. I think this should be the undercurrent of time and space; time and space itself is not static. Some changes can also lead to a structural loosening of spacetime itself—perhaps this is the nature of the undercurrent of spacetime.
And in this undercurrent of time and space, time seems to be so slow that I can even see the fluctuations of light. Of course, it must be pointed out that this may be related to my seal status or my ability. My strength at that time was about the same as it is now, about 80% of the boss's strength.
All demonstrations are for reference only. It cannot be used as an absolute reference. ”
Everyone nodded. It was rare for Zhu Danfeng to remember and recall this. We are all scientists, not children. It was very rare to know that we could make such a demonstration animation.
The animation then continues to play. After entering the "funnel", the light began to circle; sometimes it circled clockwise, and sometimes it circled counterclockwise; sometimes it seemed to suddenly turn, like a slide in an amusement park.
wrong. Like a river...
Some scientists have silently recorded their feelings and communicated quietly. Anyway, the demonstration animation has been successfully produced. If you can't see it clearly, you may have to play it a few more times. Instead, you need to record the immediate insights. Sometimes these immediate insights are fleeting and difficult to get back later.
In layman's terms: a flash of inspiration! If you can't catch it, let it go.
Suddenly the animation became intense and there was even voice acting. At this time, I saw that there was no order in the starlight anymore, it was simply a mess. Rolling randomly, just like a big river entering a canyon or a canyon filled with rocks, the light was all "broken" and intertwined randomly. This situation lasted for about a minute, and then entered an extremely gloomy period. There is only eternal darkness here, and occasionally a little starlight flashes; sometimes individual starlight will be elongated, hovering like a shadow for a while, and then disappear; it can be seen that the undercurrent of time and space is not uniform, and it can even be said that Ups and downs.
suddenly. The surrounding seems to have expanded a lot. Although it is a black world, there are faint shadows moving around. This is a grand world, and the undercurrent of time and space flows here like a quiet water, flowing through a strange world; here It seems that there is another kind of life, and the undercurrent of time and space here seems to be an ordinary river. There is still life in the river!
This stage passed for a long time, passing through four such worlds, and then returned to the chaotic light again, just like the beginning of the playback, and finally returned to calm - we have arrived in the Milky Way!
"Papa..." Zhu Danfeng clapped his hands, "Everyone, the demonstration animation is over. Among them, I am not very clear about the four strange worlds passing through in the middle. In my memory, there seem to be four, There seemed to be five or six, I don’t remember clearly. The world here felt very peaceful, and it felt like... the world after death. The people wandering here are some nihilistic beings, they seem to exist, and they don’t seem to exist. Like a shadow. At least it had no attack power on me.
But don't take it lightly. There is an eerie feeling in my feelings. If I hadn't been a sunbird myself and been sealed, I might be in danger. Seals are sometimes a form of protection.
The whole process, I feel, took three to five thousand years, and the specifics are impossible to calculate. And at this stage of the process, time is chaotic. Sometimes I can feel time passing quickly because the power in my body is rapidly weakening; and other times, it seems that time passes very slowly. Psychological problems are not excluded, but vigilance should also be raised.
Therefore, there is no specific time division in the demonstration animation just now. To be honest, I don’t know how much time is consumed in which link.
End of explanation. If you have anything to ask, just ask. ”
"Hello, I am Li Xianjie from the Imperial Second Space Technology Institute-First Space Technology Research Center. I would like to ask, did you feel a collision during the turns? Also, when entering and exiting the undercurrent of space and time, time, did you feel pressure, etc.”
This Li Xianjie is not easy either. He got into the role so quickly and asked the first question, which made many people look over.
"This... let me think about it..." Zhu Danfeng nodded, tilted his head and thought, which made many scientists flash in surprise when the time came; however, those present were all old scientists, so they were just surprised.
After a few minutes. Zhu Danfeng then spoke: "I thought about it. The feeling at that time was loneliness. I felt that the whole world was abandoning me, as if I was leaving this world. And during the movement, I also felt a slight pressure. It was a kind of pressure that came from all over the body. The pressure is not big. What I mean by "not big pressure" is how I feel. I will do a load-bearing experience in the real world later.
When I finally broke out of the undercurrent of time and space, I felt that the universe was infinitely broad, pure, and bright for a moment. It was like going from a small, dark space, holding it in for a long time, and then suddenly arriving under the starry night sky. That’s it! ”
"Did you feel the radiation? Are there any debris in the undercurrent of space and time? Other existences? Are there any collisions between multiple objects?" Li Xianjie asked one question after another, all of which were key issues.
"I haven't felt the radiation. However, as a member of the behemoth civilization, we have strong radiation resistance. This cannot be determined.
As for debris, I didn’t encounter any.
Oh right. In the undercurrent of time and space, size seems to be distorted. For example, my seal was actually only 10 million kilometers in diameter when it was in the Andromeda Galaxy; but here in the Milky Way, it is 260 light-years in diameter. I don't know what has changed here. However, the seal became larger, which also reduced the power of the seal to the extreme, otherwise it would not be so easy to break through the seal. ”
After that, scientists kept asking. Some questions cannot be answered, and some explanations are specious. But some have exact answers. Generally speaking, it gives Chinese civilization a preliminary and intuitive understanding of the undercurrent of time and space.
Of course, all scientists also understand that the understanding here is one-sided without experiencing it personally. It is impossible to know exactly the true properties of the undercurrent of space and time. It's just that it seems a little difficult to really feel it.
At least, China's current technology has not reached the level that can directly explore the undercurrent of space. Today, China’s space technology. At most, it has just touched the level of space, and is still a little far away from the level of time and space!
Of course, this doesn’t stop everyone from exploring a passage! The existence of the undercurrent of space and time seems like a shortcut, a shortcut for interstellar travel among large galaxies.
"Go to the place where the seal was originally found to search for exploration. There will definitely be clues there!" Someone has already made suggestions.
The scene was extremely noisy for a while; everyone felt a little desperate before, but now there was an undercurrent of space and time. The scientists were really excited. Everyone was excited and clamoring to explore. . It feels like: If you don’t let me go, I will go secretly. Also, for these scientists, nothing is more exciting than research; especially in the past hundred years, China's space technology research has almost been at a stagnant stage, which is one of the reasons that makes scientists crazy.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." At this time, Zhang Guan suddenly stood up.
For a moment, it attracted all the attention, and the scene became calm for a while. After all, today Zhang Guanke gave up his identity as the director of the research center to his apprentice.
"Zhang Guan, tell me." Zhang Jingyuan's attitude towards all well-known scientists is very gentle.
"Your Majesty, I want to explore the outer space, and I would like your Majesty to provide some support." Zhang Guan spoke forcefully.
"Exploring the outer space? We are already exploring it now." Zhang Jingyuan was a little surprised.
"No, Your Majesty, that's not called the outer starry sky. It should be called the edge starry sky at most. I want to form a team and go directly deep into the starry sky. It is expected to go at least 500,000 light-years deep into the starry sky. According to my calculations, 500,000 light-years After that, it should have completely entered the interstellar space state. The space state here should be
Another reason is that although it is good for us to explore the undercurrent of time and space, it cannot be used as the only means. What if this doesn't work? Therefore, we must master one more way of migration. And based on the explanation just now, I think the undercurrent of time and space is too dangerous, giving me a feeling of gambling! And even if we find it, we may not have enough time to complete research and construction!
Therefore, I think the exploration of outer space must be carried out! At least, prepare an extra escape route for Chinese civilization! And in comparison, this one is safer! ”
"Brush..." Everyone looked at Zhang Guan, with all kinds of lights in their eyes. Exploring the outer space of the galaxy is really a strange star field for today's Chinese civilization; even now, the exploration range of the empire's front fleet is only 200,000 light-years - in fact, this 200,000 light-years of water It is very large. If you exclude the distance from the solar system to the Large Magellanic Cloud, the actual distance deep into the universe is only 50,000 to 60,000 light-years.
Zhang Jingyuan was a little surprised, "Zhang Guan, do you know that if we explore 500,000 light-years deep, given our current situation, it is very likely that we will not be able to return!"
"Your Majesty, it is better for me not to come back alone than for the entire Chinese civilization to fail in its migration. The progress of science and civilization requires sacrifices. Since China entered the technological era, we are not afraid of sacrifices! And today's Milky Way is about to collapse. The great interstellar migration has become inevitable, and sacrifices are inevitable!
Since sacrifice is unavoidable, let me use this body that is not old yet to make my final contribution to this civilization.
Maybe this is my mission, and now, it’s time for me to fight for my mission! ”
Everyone’s perspective has changed! Everyone here is a scientist, and they are top scientists. Of course they know what Zhang Guan’s decision means. He is really risking his own life! A sense of mission, a sense of mission, it sounds simple, but in fact, how many people are really determined to do it! The so-called sense of mission is not really destiny, but a person's social responsibility!
Just like Zhang Guan now, he used his own life to explore a glorious path for Chinese civilization, and for this, he sacrificed fearlessly!
"Teacher, let's go together!" Li Xianjie stood up at this time, holding Zhang Guan's palm tightly, "There are no new research tasks in the current space research center. I will accompany the teacher, and we will explore the unknown starry sky together. ”
"Add me!" "Add me!" "I'll come too!" The scientists went crazy for a while! There are two kinds of madmen in this world, one is in a hospital and the other is in a cutting-edge scientific research institute!
Zhang Jingyuan thought about it for a long time, but had to admit that Chinese civilization really needs sacrifices now! This is a heavy topic, but it is necessary!
"What are your requirements?" At this time, Zhang Jingyuan had nothing to say.
"Please ask your Majesty to help recruit some volunteers, and they need to have skills, preferably in space technology. Of course, the flight of a spacecraft requires various maintenance inspections, etc. I need some volunteers who are willing to abandon everything and take risks! ""Okay! "(To be continued...)
