NO.471 Warp Jump Start!

The magnificence of the universe is enough to make any civilization despair. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, no object in the world can reach the speed of light, and the speed of light will always be an unattainable myth.

But in fact, the magnificence of the universe is even the speed of light. If humans want to travel around the universe, they can only do it by avoiding the limit of the speed of light from the side. Therefore, many theories have been proposed, and the most theoretical basis is also known to the public, there are three types:

The first type: wormhole jumping technology.

The so-called wormhole is Schwarzsey's throat, a phenomenon that directly bends space. In theory, it is generally believed that wormholes are thin space-time tubes connecting distant areas of the universe. They are like vortexes in the sea, everywhere but fleeting. Wormholes can connect parallel universes and provide the possibility of time and space travel. Through wormholes, they can instantly span countless light-year distances, reaching the other side from one side of the universe, and even directly cross this universe, reaching another universe.

Stephen Hawking discussed the possibility of wormhole jumping in his works "A Brief History of Time" and "The Universe in the Husk", and proposed the idea of ​​string theory to make space jumps, believing that using a huge energy field can create a "string" with huge energy, so that objects within its range can instantly enter the wormhole created by strings.

Zhang Heng also has this technology, which is a plane shuttle device obtained from the Terminator plane. However, with the current technology of Star Technology, this device cannot be used in space navigation, so it has to be temporarily put down.

The second type: curvature navigation.

The reason why this theory exists is because people believe that the space of this universe is not flat, but has curvature. If the whole universe is imagined as a large film, the surface of the film is arc-shaped, and the entire film may even be a closed soap bubble. Although the local area of ​​the film seems flat, the curvature of the space is still everywhere.

This is a technique that navigates in compressed space. The principle is to create an artificial bending force field using an antimatter-driven curvature engine around moving objects, so that the object can move at a speed close to the speed of light in this twisted space bubble.

For example, a small boat rows on a flat river, because the river is flat (equivalent to zero curvature), the small boat will not accelerate its sailing. But if a downward waterfall suddenly encounters a waterfall (the curvature of the waterfall is considered infinite), the small boat will quickly reach a very fast speed. Combined with such a metaphor, it can be understood.

To put it simply, it means driving the spacecraft through the transformation of space-time itself, and using loopholes in the laws of physics to break the limit of the insurmountable speed of light.

The third type: subspace navigation.

Some scientists believe that a strong magnetic field can create gravitational fields and push the spacecraft at high speed. If the magnetic field is strong enough, the spacecraft can enter a space higher than the space-time we are in and sail at super-light speed. Once the magnetic field disappears, the spacecraft will return to its current space-time.

And that space is the so-called subspace. If the universe is regarded as a sphere, ordinary navigation is to travel on the surface of the sphere, and subspace navigation is equivalent to entering the sphere and flying in a shortcut, shortening the distance that originally took dozens of light years or even hundreds of light years to more than tens of thousands of times!

To compare it briefly, wormhole technology is the most advanced point-to-point travel that does not require any time-consuming point-to-point travel. The second is subspace navigation, and the second is curvature navigation. At the same distance, wormhole jumping technology is completed in an instant no matter how far it is, while subspace compresses the 10,000-year navigation time into one year. As for curvature technology, according to the theory of relativity, the fastest navigation of curvature cannot exceed 10 times the speed of light.

At this moment, in the command and analysis room of the space observatory, countless scientific researchers were constantly busy. Mark Dawson, the general manager of the aerospace industry in the deep space amnesia plane, walked to Zhang Heng who was sitting aside, and said with a respectful expression, "Commander, Quantum Communication has successfully locked the experimental spacecraft, and the spacecraft detection is ready. Subspace navigation experiments can be carried out at any time."

Zhang Heng raised his head and closed his eyes and said, "Where is the destination of the navigation?"

"In Pluto orbit." Mark Dawson pushed his black-edged glasses. "As the innermost boundary of the solar system, if it goes well, the test spacecraft will successfully escape from subspace in one hour and appear in Pluto orbit. If it does not appear, it means that the navigation experiment failed."

Zhang Heng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and finally said, "Then, start the experiment."

"I understand!" Mark Dorman Carrie Lam nodded, turned to the many staff members who were looking at the waiting for orders here, "Preparation of navigation experiments, start the subspace navigation in three minutes!"

Everyone was excited and immediately became busy in their respective positions. Mark Dawson himself went to the central controller to monitor and fine-tune each person's control, and issued commands while working.

"The nuclear fusion reactor is turned on!"

"The nuclear fusion reactor has been turned on, the temperature is currently rising, and the output power is stable." The worker in charge of nuclear fusion control said immediately.

"The liquid helium cooling system is turned on!"

"It has been turned on, the pressure is stable at present!" Another worker looked solemn.

"The strong magnetic ring is turned on! The transition engine is preheated!"

"The magnetic field of the strong magnetic ring is currently stable, the core magnetic field reaches 10 billion atmospheric pressure, and is still in high school!"

Mark Dawson nodded secretly. He looked at the big screen above his head. The big screen was divided into more than a dozen different surveillance screens. Those were all reflected by the internal monitors of the experimental spacecraft. Moreover, because of quantum communication technology, these transmitted signals are real-time, without a trace of delay!

At this moment, the center of more than a dozen screens shows the core target transition engine device of this experiment. At this moment, the iron thorn ring formed by three ring-shaped strong magnetic field generation devices is like the planetary rings of a planet, rotating rapidly around the center black sphere, and even turning into afterimages!

"The critical value has reached. The current magnetic field core is 50 billion atmospheric pressure, and the strong magnetic ring is very stable!" The staff member next to him said with a solemn expression on his face.

"Very good." Mark Dawson nodded, and he placed his finger on the big red button in the center of the command bench. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and pressed it heavily!

"The subspace navigation experiment counted for one minute to prepare..." On the radio, cold electronic sounds suddenly resounded in every corner of the hall. At the same time, a low alarm sound also sounded, indicating that the experiment entered the final stage!

Mark Dorling looked solemn. At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire command and analysis room gradually became solemn. Even the most reckless staff closed their mouths. Everyone just stared at the strings of data in front of them, and did not dare to relax for a moment.

"Countdown to thirty seconds to prepare..."

"Countdown to ten seconds to prepare..."

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"eight!"

...

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"
Chapter completed!
