"Success!" the scientists began to cheer! Although it has not yet passed the final test of launching experimental items, at least one thing is certain, the wormhole is really opened now! At this moment, scientists of all sizes were as happy as children, hugging each other and congratulating each other!
For the artificial wormhole project, there are too many scientists who have not rested for thousands of years! They were already too tired; if it weren't for civilization, even if they had the ability of immortals, they would be exhausted after working for thousands of years. What can support them are the dreams in their hearts and the responsibilities on their shoulders.
And this "morning glory" is the biggest reward and flower for these scientists!
Therefore, Zhang Jingyuan cannot press the start button himself and needs to hand it over to Zhang Guan.
In the dark but bright starry sky, a light cluster with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers is circling rapidly. If you look closely, you will find that the light cluster is in a cone shape; and there is a hole at the bottom of the cone light cluster - this This is the entrance to the wormhole.
In a hurry, three months passed...
"First launch an electronic dummy." As the chief engineer of the artificial wormhole, Zhang Guan felt unprecedented pressure at this time. After calming down his excitement, he started the next series of tests.
"Yes!" Li Xianjie quickly got busy. The electronic dummy completely imitates everything about humans and can even record all data at that time. Also an ideal experimental subject.
"Let it go!"
Huh... A completely anthropomorphic dummy was thrown into the wormhole. The speed was not very fast, only about a thousand kilometers per second - this was to collect data, and all the instruments were starting to track.
Artificial wormholes are tens of millions of kilometers wide and tens of millions of kilometers long. Under precise instrument monitoring, you can even see the dummy moving forward. The figure is also gradually shrinking. This means that space is compressed, so of course, the items in the space are also compressed simultaneously. Strictly speaking, this compression is not compression—it is that the space as a whole is getting smaller; but there is no change within the space.
As it continues to advance, the dummy has also undergone obvious changes - its size has become significantly smaller. The detection instruments on the dummy and pre-arranged next to it constantly monitor all data and begin to compare it with various theoretical data.
There is a curved reality screen in front of Zhang Jingyuan. This screen is flat. It doesn't show much data either; just two lines, one red and one blue. The red lines present regular curves, which are the comprehensive scores of wormhole theoretical data; while the blue lines are the comprehensive lines detected on site.
It can now be seen that as the dummy continues to advance, the gap between the blue lines and the red lines becomes more and more obvious. At this time, there is no need for too much testing. Just by relying on the two curves, you can know that there is a deviation between reality and theory.
But Zhang Jingyuan remained motionless and did not express anything. This gap did not mean failure. After all, the data detected on site itself has certain deviations. All we can do now is to believe that the experiment can succeed - even if we know it may fail, we still have to believe in the hard-working scientists.
Compared with Zhang Jingyuan's calmness, Zhang Guan and other scientists were already pressing their lips tightly and rubbing their hands tightly together; but it was impossible to stop at this time! In fact, this is an experiment after all, and failure is acceptable, at least the first stage has been successful; but no one likes to fail!
Especially for the current wormhole, the scientists of the Empire have been fighting for thousands of years; strictly speaking. From the time when the ruins of Hongguang Civilization were discovered, we have been conducting research on and off until now. It has been more than ten thousand years!
If it really fails, although it is normal from a scientific perspective, it may not be acceptable psychologically!
Seeing the distance between the blue line and the red line getting further and further away, Zhang Guan and others felt as if they were being roasted by a torch, feeling restless.
In space, the dummy continued to move forward unhurriedly. And at this time, the dummy actually started to roll. At this moment, scientists began to scramble. Once a rollover occurs, it not only means that data collection is more difficult; it also means that there was an error in the previous operation!
You know, in space, if there are no external forces, then an object can basically maintain its original state. Keep it up. And now that the tumbling is happening, it can at least show one thing: in the artificial wormhole, the space shrinks unevenly! This is a technical or production fallacy.
"Execute the second set of measures!" At the critical moment, Zhang Guan was also ruthless.
Boom... Under the built-in measures, the dummy decomposed directly in space, and then dispersed into countless large and small detectors, flying like a cloud.
This is already the last resort. In fact, now, it also means that half of the experiment has failed.
"Report, found the problem!" At this time, the communicator was turned on, and a projection unfolded in front of him, and at the same time, a voice came: "The energy channel is not tightly sealed at the 1-4-4-223 position."
The so-called lax sealing is because the reflective layer of the energy channel is broken. The energy used now is photon energy, which means that the energy channel is actually a large "fiber". And in this huge building system, which is tens of millions of kilometers high, even the slightest error will be magnified to the limit.
What's especially tricky is that the damage is internal, and repairing it at this time is simply impossible.
This was an energy problem. Zhang Guan didn't understand it very well, so he immediately transferred the communication to Li Yuzhang.
"Compensate for the crack! Calculate and design the compensator immediately!" Li Yuzhang responded immediately, "The crack here is the damage to the reflective layer; what we have to do is to regenerate a reflective layer to make up for this light leakage loss. .”
The data was input into the computer. With the help of powerful computers and the guidance of correct concepts, the compensation equipment was designed in just one minute. Virtual models only the size of a fist appeared in front of the designers.
"Transmit the data to the front line and let them produce and arrange it immediately." Li Yuzhang clicked on the model and then sent it to the front line prosecutors. After the inspector received the data, the portable "void smelting technology" in his hand produced a qualified product directly in the backpack, and then clicked it onto the previous small crack.
At the same time, two balance blocks of the same size were also lowered in the other equilateral triangle directions of the artificial wormhole. The wormhole finally returned to calm.
"Huh..." Zhang Guancai wiped a cold sweat at this time, and then the old scientist tried hard, "Chen Zhonghua, check for me according to the number, which department or factory produced this, and which department is responsible for the review!
< br>
I want to know all the information about this part from the raw materials, production and processing company, handler and inspector, transportation process, etc.! ”
"Yes!" Chen Zhonghua, who had become the commander-in-chief of the Empire's First Preparatory Expeditionary Force, was equally annoyed. I have become the first reserve expedition force - which means that once the wormhole is successfully opened, I will be the first to lead the team to the distant cosmic civilization alliance. It will be a time when honor and danger coexist; and this worm The cave certainly attracted General Chen's attention.
He was immediately ordered to go down and the military directly intervened in the investigation. As long as we find the relevant person, we will definitely fight to the end. Then arrange for you to go through the military court and the civil court one by one.
The next step was to finally check in time, and the blue line and the red line started to get closer and closer. Finally, there was even a hint of fusion.
Huh... At this time, all the scientists finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time there should be no problem. It's just that now the dummies have been dispersed and cannot accurately detect the pressure during the wormhole traversal.
More than two hours later, a mass of matter after the dummy exploded passed through the wormhole; less than three minutes later, Zhang Guan received a message from the other side and had already seen a mass of matter passing through the wormhole, but nothing happened. Are they parts? Well, it was only then that Zhang Guan suddenly remembered that he had made a big mistake - he had forgotten to talk to the local government about everything just now.
After receiving these parts and studying them, the other party started reverse transmission and also sent a dummy over. Wormholes are theoretically connected, so this aspect also needs to be verified. This involves a very critical issue - don't let the Chinese side take no action when the time comes to open the wormhole, and the other party will invade instead! Although this possibility is unlikely, but what if...
Therefore, China needs to develop corresponding technology that can adjust and flexibly set up a backtracking technology! Facing the eighth-level civilization, the empire must be more careful!
Next, we continued to increase the number of test objects, even small spaceships, or some unlucky starry sky beasts whose brains were destroyed (replaced with computers) to verify the safety-the mice from the earth finally relaxed. With a sigh of relief, you humans finally changed the experimental subjects.
After that, it was a process of repeated tossing until the wormhole collapsed in order to collect data. And this destructive experiment lasted ten years!
Zhang Guan finally took the report: "Sure enough, we found out why the wormhole of Hongguang Civilization collapsed. When the wormhole is activated, there will be a large amount of energy impact, and even the space itself will fluctuate violently. Under such circumstances , the wormhole can last for 8 years of safe time and an additional two years of limit time
After eight years, space-time rifts will erupt, making passage difficult; after nine years, the entire space within the impulse range will be destroyed.
Moreover, it has been verified that ordinary small space technology cannot pass through wormholes smoothly, and will cause space to take turns. The solution is also simple, which is to use magnetic fields to isolate and seal; and simulate normal space fluctuations around it to achieve the effect of deceiving the space. ""good! "Zhang Jingyuan looked at it with satisfaction, then finally raised his head, the light of ambition flashing in his eyes, "Maybe it's time for us to go to the Universal Civilization Alliance! "(To be continued...)
