Chapter 286 Crossing the Heavenly Moat
“…Recently, the government has announced a total of nine space exploration plans. According to the latest data released by the Bureau of Finance, expenditures related to space projects have accounted for 14% of the GDP, an increase of 4% over the previous year…”
“…According to reports, the second ‘Joint Space Development and Planning Conference’ will be held the next day, and the heads of state will gather again to look forward to the future of space…”
"..."
"—beep."
The TV was turned off again, but this time the viewers did not have any complaints, and consciously and obediently returned to the room to study.
The star-confusing scholar sat on the empty sofa, staring at the newspaper on the table in a daze.
At this time, it has been a long time since they were attacked by alien civilization, and the people did not know that there was a threat of doomsday that passed them by.
But the star-disgusting scholar learned a lot of inside information by virtue of the nepotism left over from the past.
For example, the strike beam that contains enough to change the state of the star, for example, the "alien superman" that directly blocks the strike with an individual...
However, after the crisis was lifted, the planet-disgusting scholar did not appear to be very happy, but became more and more worried.
Even though the current government is already discussing extraterrestrial cooperation, he feels that this is still too slow. This time, an unknown alien civilization stopped the attack for them. What about next time?
The current international government is still in the theoretical stage even to build a satellite base on the nearest satellite, and it can't be done after waves of wrangling.
The reason is very simple, that is, the investment is not directly proportional to the return, the transportation cost is too high, and the construction of the satellite base is a large project, and the estimated maintenance cost alone can place a heavy burden on each country.
The Huo Xing scholar rubbed his forehead with a headache again, worrying about how to solve these problems.
Although he has been expelled, he still has the quality of being a scientist, especially the major events related to extraterrestrials. He doesn't even care.
And at this moment, a melodious sound of music wafted from his son's room. Although it appeared and disappeared from time to time, a complete melody was automatically formed in the mind of the star-hustling scholar.
His son plays this song every day, so that he, who has never listened to music, is already familiar with the melody of this song.
"Playing this song again..."
The Huo Xing scholar smiled helplessly, but his thoughts drifted away with the music.
He also knows the name of this piece of music, it's called "Beyond the Speed of Light", and it was put on the Internet by an Internet singer named "Ash".
At first, this music was not well-known, but as the international government paid more attention to space exploration, more and more general knowledge of the universe was popularized. In the end, most people knew what the biggest factor restricting their space exploration was.
It takes them several days to get from the ground to the satellite, and a hundred times the time to go from the ground to the nearest planet.
According to the deduction of their scientists, they may be able to accelerate the manned spacecraft to one tenth of the speed of light within a limited time.
But this is far from enough. Even if it is accelerated to the speed of light, it is too slow for space exploration.
So "Beyond the Speed of Light" has become the dream of everyone who is committed to space, and the song "Beyond the Speed of Light" has also become popular.
This puts their hope for the starry sky, even the star-hunting scholars are no exception.
Although he firmly believes that this universe is dark, he also hopes from the bottom of his heart that a super-light speed method can be popularized to illuminate this dark starry sky.
A sense of sadness and silence arose spontaneously, and the star-wielding scholar unconsciously hummed the melody of "Beyond the Speed of Light". It was both depression and hope, and contradictory emotions were gathered in this song.
However, humming, he suddenly noticed some abnormal values in a certain instrument he had placed in the living room.
This old-fashioned instrument has basically been eliminated, so he just put it in the living room so casually, but he didn't expect that something went wrong at this time.
He hurried over to check, but found that the data detected by the instrument was related to the "space-time state".
But this instrument is too old. Apart from this information, he is not sure what exactly happened. It may even be simply a false report of the instrument.
But just such a message is enough to make him restless, because it may represent an opportunity for them to "beyond the speed of light".
That is a model that only exists in their theory, it has never been proven, and the data anomaly that appears today is very likely to complete the proof.
So he anxiously paced up and down the living room, waiting for his nepotism to play out again.
As time passed by, the star-disgusting scholar, who had waited for a long time for an answer, couldn't bear it any longer. He put on his coat and rushed out to rush towards the landmark building "Astronomical Observatory".
It was at this moment that he received a call that made his heartstrings very tense.
"…Hello?"
"Teacher, there is a major discovery. A wormhole has appeared in our galaxy, not far from us!"
Hearing the news, the star-confusing scholar suddenly loosened his heartstrings, and then the whole person began to giggle, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The student also knew that this was just the other party's overjoyed performance, and when he got happy, he hung up the phone in a hurry and returned to his work.
At this time, on the most eye-catching large screen in the astronomical observatory, a huge space-time vortex has appeared, like a black hole, but it seems to be able to see flashes like thunderstorms, and the fleeting "other end". world".
This is a picture simulated by the computer based on the space-time curvature and light movement state of that place. Although it has a certain degree of artistic processing, it can also prove that there is something different there.
—A wormhole appeared there, only about 100 million kilometers away from them.
Not only that, their computer has speculated that this wormhole is extremely stable, and it is basically impossible to collapse naturally, and the gravitational effect it produces has also been regulated to a certain extent. Unless the celestial body actively touches the wormhole, it will not have any impact on the galaxy .
The celestial staff on this planet immediately started to act, and a large number of scientists also began to analyze this wormhole.
Some kind of technology suitable for "wormhole voyage" has emerged, and in the process, some scientists who are troubled by key problems can always magically find insights in their computers that make them suddenly enlightened.
This "mysterious man G" has become a great unsolved mystery in the scientific world. Some insiders suspect that this is actually a super boss who doesn't care about world affairs. The intelligence agencies of many countries are also secretly looking for this person. "Mystery Man G".
Except for them, all civilizations in the entire "lower triple spiral arm" have a wormhole in their parent galaxy.
Among them, some civilizations with extremely deep development and only limited by the speed of light quickly launched the wormhole exploration project, and soon discovered that the other end of the wormhole is actually in this galaxy, more precisely, it is on the other side of the galaxy one end.
After they tentatively sent the spacecraft to explore, the advance team brought a surprising news:
Opposite the wormhole is a completely different world, where it is common to exceed the speed of light!
At the same time, through a certain advance team that “coincidentally” opened the wormhole in the “Grand Theater” galaxy, they also discovered a fact that made them angry.
That is the civilization on the opposite side of the wormhole, and it seems that they are enjoying the struggle of these "lower civilizations".
