I Have A Super USB Drive - Chapter 609
“Courage Advance” is the name of the spacecraft responsible for the jump experiment.
As the spacecraft left the port, it soon flew to the designated jump location, preparing to start the first jump experiment in human history.
The starting point of this jump experiment is the orbit of the Moon, and the end point is the orbit of Mars. At this time, the distance between the two points is about 80 million kilometers. If the acceleration of the usual spacecraft is used, it will take about seven days to fly from here to the end point. Time, which is 168 hours.
However, if you jump to subspace and use subspace navigation technology, you can compress the distance ten thousand times, that is to say, it only takes one second to reach the destination in theory.
Of course, whether the spacecraft is in reality or in subspace, there must be a process that needs to be accelerated, so the actual time it takes is definitely more than one second.
At this time, in the space observatory, Chen Chen was watching the data from the radio telescope silently. At the same time, the crowd was surging in the hall, and everyone was full of solemn expressions, preparing for the upcoming first leap.
“Preparation for sailing experiment, start subspace sailing in three minutes!” During the
broadcast, an icy electronic sound came, and everyone was even more refreshed. They got busy in their respective posts, constantly testing the accuracy of the data in front of them. .
“The fusion reactor open!”
“Fusion reactor has been opened, the current temperature is rising, the output power stability ……”
“liquid helium cooling system on!”
“Has been turned on, the current pressure is stable!”
“Strong magnetic loop start, transition The engine starts to warm up!”
Chen Chen nodded secretly, he raised his head and glanced at the big screen above his head.
I saw dozens of monitoring screens separated on the big screen. Those were all images sent by the Spaceship Courage Into, but because of the distance, these images were slightly delayed.
As early as when humans landed on Mars, the signal delay of communication had already begun to show signs. Because of the distance between the two, the signal delay between Earth and Mars was as much as two to three hundred seconds. If humans walk out of the solar system in the future, I am afraid Just a phone call will cost in units of years.
It seems that the time for quantum information transmission technology has also come to need vigorous development…
Chen Chen thought silently.
This thought flashed through Chen Chen’s mind, but at this moment, the screen above his head showed the core goal of this experiment-the jump engine device.
At this time, on the periphery of the engine, three ring-shaped strong magnetic devices drive crazily around the black sphere in the center, like three blurry afterimages. As they continue to rotate, the black sphere in the center also rotates unceasingly. After a while, I don’t know if it is. An illusion, Chen Chen felt that the black sphere in the center seemed to change slightly towards the liquid form…
Of course, Chen Chen was familiar with this scene . This scene appeared in the movie. A member of the rescue team came to the liquid. In front of the jump engine, he slightly stretched his hand, actually reaching into the black liquid.
It is as if the entire jump engine becomes a space gate at this moment.
It’s just that, I don’t know what’s behind this door, the rescue team member was finally pulled in, and when he came out again, he had become a walking dead without any consciousness.
It’s like being absorbed by the soul across the gate…
This is the danger of subspace. Chen Chen doesn’t know the danger of subspace. If he is willing to choose, he will not choose this way of sailing in contact with subspace. But after all, the universe is too vast, vast enough to make any civilization desperate.
If the speed of the nuclear fusion engine is used today, minus the time required for acceleration, it will take more than half a year to fly out of the solar system.
The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years in diameter, which is billions of times that of the Solar System. This is an extremely desperate number. Even if you don’t count the fuel, it will take more than 100,000 years to accelerate the spacecraft to sub-light speed. Flies from one side to the other.
Not to mention the Milky Way is just a grain of sand in the observable universe.
Therefore, conventional flying methods will inevitably not support the rise of civilization. Chen Chen will need to develop jump engine technology sooner or later if he wants to develop. If this is the case, then he can’t stand back…
These thoughts flashed through Chen Chen’s mind. The cold mechanical voice continued:
“The jump engine has reached a critical value. The core of the magnetic field is currently at 50 billion atmospheres, and the strong magnetic ring is very stable! Ready to start the jump operation…”
“The jump engine starts one minute…”
During the broadcast, icy electronic sounds immediately resounded in every corner of the hall, and at the same time, a low warning sound followed, indicating that the experiment had entered the final stage.
Chen Chen looked solemn, not only him, but the atmosphere in the entire hall became solemn in vain. The low and depressive aura weighed heavily on everyone’s heart. Everyone was staring at the data stream in front of him, not daring to relax his vigilance for a moment. .
“Thirty-
second countdown to prepare for the start of the jump engine…” “Ten seconds to prepare for the countdown…”
“Ten!”
“Nine!”
“Eight!”
…
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
“Yuedan started!” “
As the order was issued, Chen Chen only saw that the transition engine on the screen became brighter and brighter from the black pressure at the beginning, and finally turned into a strong light, completely flooding the surveillance camera!
A few seconds later, that is, the delay correction time also reached the time of the jump. At this time, all the monitoring screens flickered with snowflakes, and the Courage Enter and the space observatory completely lost contact!
“Lost link!”
The voice reverberated, “I am checking the jump location, and I have confirmed that the Courage Enter is not found. The spacecraft is confirmed to enter the subspace!”
Chen Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up. Since the spacecraft disappeared out of thin air, instead of exploding, it naturally represented the spacecraft. Has entered the subspace.
However, this does not mean that it is time to celebrate. Only the Courage Intruder reappears in a minute or two and appears in the orbit of Mars, which represents the success of the experiment.
It takes about one minute for the spacecraft to cross subspace, and it takes about three hundred seconds for the Mars orbit signal to be transmitted to the earth. In other words, if you want to know whether the experiment is successful, you have to wait six or seven minutes to see if the Courage Enter A signal came from Mars.
Naturally, all researchers knew this data well, and they began to discuss or chat with each other, and waited for the final data together.
For a while, the atmosphere relaxed slightly.
However, as time passed by, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more serious. As the expected transition time reached more and more, everyone kept looking at the computer in front of them, waiting for the courage to advance back. news.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
Six minutes passed, but the Courage Dashboard still did not return news, and many people began to look at each other.
Eight minutes passed, everyone’s foreheads were sweating, and it seemed that the deep space of the universe had become a ferocious behemoth with a big mouth, swallowing Courage Dashing in, but never vomiting it out again.
Ten minutes later, even Chen Chen frowned and looked at the screen above his head. Could it be that this first jump experiment really failed?
Is subspace really that dangerous?
Just when everyone was disappointed in their hearts, finally, a string of encrypted signals was received by the radio telescope again, and this signal was derived from the Courage Enter!
“Passed it back!”
In the hall, many researchers shouted in excitement, they wanted to decipher this signal, but the next second they were astonished because they discovered that they had lost the authority to decipher the signal.
“What’s the matter?”
“Why did I lose the permission?”
“Is it a system failure?”
Many researchers were in an uproar. After all, they had been involved and expected for so long before, and now they can’t even check the results of the experiment. Come on?
However, the cold electronic sound on the broadcast sounded again, “All researchers, please stay where they are. This information belongs to the top secret of Blacklight Technology. Please sit in the same place and wait for the next order to come.”
With this news It came out that Chen Chen had already left the hall at this time and came to another closed room.
The information sent back was naturally intercepted by Xiao X, and the purpose was not because of any secrets. The researchers here are all members of God’s forbidden zone and shouldn’t be kept secret.
The reason for doing this is only because Chen Chen has learned from the past.
When I was on the plane of “Black Hole Surface”, the local research institutes were instantly destroyed because of the information returned, and even the entire earth was eventually destroyed. Of course, Chen Chen did not dare to expose the information in this way.
Therefore, these information must first be inspected by Xiao X and confirmed that there is no problem before they dared to publish it completely.
“The encrypted signal has been translated, and no memetic characteristics have been found.”
At this time, Xiao X’s voice came from the headset, and as Chen Chen looked up, a video appeared on the screen in front of him.
In the video, Chen Chen only saw that when the Courage Advance was flying, a huge black hole suddenly appeared in front of it, and the spacecraft flew into the black hole.
At the moment of passing through the black hole, the scenery outside the spacecraft suddenly changed, from a vast darkness to a world full of dark red.
Obviously, the world in the subspace is not as empty and pitch-black as the real universe, but a patch of red, like flying in a magnificent nebula, surrounded by granular red mist.
These mists churn rhythmically like ocean waves, but strangely, they do not rush in one direction like ocean waves, but constantly impact the hull of the spacecraft from all directions…
Even, in the mist, there is still Obviously I can see the colorful spots of light, which are not bright, but they are particularly conspicuous in the foggy blood red mist. At first glance, they are like fireflies in the fog, flashing and extinct. As the mist kept surging.
“What is this?”
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the scenery silently.
The scene sent back by the spaceship was very strange. Chen Chen didn’t know how it was different from the subspace he had been to, because when he entered the subspace before, he only opened his eyes once, and when he opened his eyes, he immediately saw Countless twisted shadows.
Then Chen Chen dug out his eyes.
Of course, when watching these videos, Chen Chen naturally doesn’t need to goug his eyes, but with this video alone, he can’t figure out whether the scene on the screen is the subspace he has been to.
Just when Chen Chen was a little confused, the spacecraft seemed to have gradually moved away from the bloody fog area. As the bow broke through the last fog, the lens in front of Chen Chen suddenly widened, and a vast and strange space completely appeared in front of Chen Chen’s eyes!
It is still a dark red world, but in this endless piece of red, a trace of strange black air flow is constantly blowing from the shell of Courage Into, these black air currents continue to condense and transform, as if they have their own lives, and follow As it brushed over the hull of the spacecraft, the armor of the Courage Advance also showed signs of aging and decay…
Even, Chen Chen saw a trace of black air swaying in front of the camera. The moment it passed, Chen Chen’s pupils suddenly appeared. After shrinking, he immediately said, “Pause!”
Following Chen Chen’s order, the image recorded by the spacecraft suddenly stopped.
“
Go back a few frames.” Chen Chen continued to give orders, and then the black airflow in front of the camera condensed again, seeming to turn into two weird dark eyes.
This scene made Chen Chen feel cold.
Then, the video continued to be shown until three minutes before it completely ended. During these three minutes, Chen Chen saw scenes that he hadn’t seen in his entire life, the frantic bloody fog, the weirdly colored fireflies, and these endless The black air current… For
a moment, Chen Chen felt as if he had fallen into a deep and strange dream. There was an incomprehensible grotesque in front of him, and he could not detect whether he was a dream or waking up…
“The armor of the Courage Advance It seems that it has been slightly corroded.”
Little X’s voice continued, and she showed the spacecraft’s data to Chen Chen little by little. “Other than that, everything is normal. Even the passengers served by the five black knights are all normal. The characteristics have not changed.”
“The armor of the Courage Advancement has been corroded?”
Chen Chen was startled . The Couragement Advancement is already made of the best quality aerospace metal, even if it has been in space for tens of thousands of years. There is a problem, but now it has been slightly corroded after only a few minutes of sailing in subspace?
If you follow this speed, wouldn’t it mean that the hull of the spacecraft will be completely corroded after a few days of sailing?
Thinking of this, Chen Chen couldn’t help frowning. It seems that in order to sail in the subspace in the future, I am afraid it will be necessary to invent a new type of material.
“Although there seems to be nothing unusual about the Courage Advance, don’t forget the plot of “Black Hole Surface”. The test should be tested.”
Chen Chen hugged his arms and meditated, “The next task will be easy. Too much, send Delta-class experimenters, put them in spacesuits, and teleport them to Mars through the’Watchman Teleportation Pile’, and send them to the interior of the Courage Intrusion.”
“Understood.”
Xiao X replied that she also understood Chen Chen’s caution. After all, the black knight is not a normal person. Maybe some strange reactions in the subspace will not affect the black knight, but it does not mean that it will not affect ordinary people.
So letting these people enter the spacecraft to experience it for themselves is in line with Chen Chen’s idea.
If those Delta-class experimenters can survive a subspace voyage without injury, this experiment will be considered a real success…
