Chapter 297 Ghost Spaceship
The too weak space-time structure of "Cradle" made Li Wenyuan pay more attention to this galaxy itself, because the essence of the jump engine is to make the surrounding space consistent with the destination at the quantum level, which will cause the space-time state of the jump starting point to change accordingly. The change is permanent.
And he roughly calculated the data. If the space-time structure of this state uses transitions, it will almost certainly induce "space-time ghosts".
A "killer snail" that is chasing you all the time, even if it only moves two millimeters an hour, would you be afraid of it?
In the past, human beings only jumped a few apples, but what if this object is replaced by a huge spaceship? Will the "space-time ghost spacecraft" use thrusters? What is the action logic of the ghost spacecraft? Will organisms also give birth to "space-time ghosts"?
At this moment, because of the special environment of the "cradle", a lot of experimental possibilities appeared in his mind. The current "ghost of time and space" is still mysterious to him, and he may use this opportunity to gradually understand the characteristics of "ghost of time and space" .
But now, he has to solve the problem of "chasing light" civilization first.
Li Wenyuan first confirmed whether this peculiar space-time weak phenomenon in the galaxy is just an exception. After obtaining coordinate records many times, he determined that at least most of the "cradle" galaxy is in this state.
Thinking about the cause of this phenomenon reminded him of a question that was subconsciously ignored, how did the people in this galaxy move faster than the speed of light? Could it be caused by the abuse of the extremely large "jump engine"?
And he also got the answer from the leader of "Chasing the Light".
"Most of the time we move through a fixed superluminal channel, which we usually call the 'hyperspace channel'...",
"Is it actually hyperspace..." The unexpected answer made Li Wenyuan more doubtful.
If it is not because of enough abuse of jumps, why is the space-time structure of "Cradle" so fragile? Who built the "hyperspace channel" here?
More and more mysteries are shrouded in this shrinking world, but for the latter question, the leader of "Chasing Light" has an answer:
"Those hyperspace channels were built by ourselves. After the galaxies were connected, we miraculously discovered that the construction technology related to them seemed to exist in every corner of the galaxies, waiting for every civilization to discover and put them into practice. .”
"Although it is difficult to connect, it is not impossible. For a long time in the past, the civilizations of the entire 'cradle' galaxy have been busy doing this."
"With our ability, we can't make hyperspace channels extend in all directions, but we can still connect most of the galaxies. This is why we call ourselves 'pioneers'. We think this technology is for us to go to more places. Helping other captive civilizations..."
The hyperspace channel here was built by themselves. This result is somewhat beyond Li Wenyuan's expectations.
I thought that only humans possessed this kind of technology, but now it seems that there are many smart and lucky people in the universe.
It's just that compared with human beings, theirs is much slower. Even if the power of the entire galaxy is gathered, it can only build a hyperspace channel connecting most of the galaxies. At the same time, there are two galaxies connected by hyperspace channels. They are all pass places that are rare.
Considering their actual situation, this is not bad.
After understanding the basic situation again, in order to prevent this civilization five million light-years away from "starving to death", Li Wenyuan is going to let a batch of spaceships carrying resources jump there to rescue the emergency.
The only thing we need to pay attention to now is the "space-time ghost" induced by the "paper-thin" space-time structure. Are there other properties?
The "space-time apple" that moves two millimeters per hour can't explain all the problems. Now with the help of this unique environment, Li Wenyuan can gain more understanding of the "space-time ghost".
So after discussing with the "Light Chasing" civilization, he selected a barren galaxy and sent a large number of fleets to monitor the transition site.
All kinds of instruments were also pointed there, recording all the data of that space all the time.
The large cargo spaceship loaded with all kinds of relief supplies slowly drove to the designated transition site. There was no life or robots on this spaceship. Only the drone that had cut off all contact with Li Wenyuan in advance was working on it.
This is also his first experiment on the phenomenon of "space-time ghost", no matter what the result is, it is destined to bring him useful information.
Finally, the jump engine on the cargo spacecraft started to work, and in an instant, a huge stand surrounding the spacecraft was formed, even the light was distorted, becoming a glow overflowing the surface of the spacecraft.
The structure of time and space is also broken and reorganized in the position, until it is absolutely consistent with the destination.
Looking with the naked eye, the spaceship disappeared directly into sight without warning.
But followed by unexpected situations.
The moment the jump engine was officially started, two almost identical time-spaces appeared in the world, the only difference being that one had a spaceship and the other had no space-time.
Small disturbances made time and space begin to confirm where the spaceship should be, and finally "determined" that the spaceship is in the latter time and space under the intervention of the engine.
However, although the spacecraft has moved, the time and space it left behind is still there, and it has become the weakest zone where a transition has taken place.
The resentment of the rupture of time and space also suddenly expanded to the limit and burst out.
A spaceship that is exactly the same as the cargo spaceship just appeared in the original place. Due to the perfect connection with the main body, even the most accurate photography equipment did not capture the process of its appearance. From the image, only one ship and one A spaceship that never seems to move.
However, the instrument used to detect space-time fluctuations detected that the space-time fluctuations that should have fallen into a trough due to the end of the transition rose to a peak again. This abnormal fluctuation confirmed that "something" appeared there.
At the same time, it also confirmed a property of the "space-time ghost", at least it will simultaneously do any thing that the ontology does.
—Includes use of Warp Engine.
A "phantom" with zero mass, nothing but an image is actually using the jump engine. No matter how you listen to it, this thing is a bit unbelievable, but it happened.
Not only that, Li Wenyuan also found that the "ghost ship" started the jump engine even faster than the main body.
Almost as soon as the cargo spaceship arrived at the "Light Chasing" civilization, a "ghost spaceship" that followed came to the same place, and with the contact with the main body, they disappeared from the universe in an instant .
However, the new "space-time ghost" was not born with the leap of the "ghost spaceship". That weak area eventually became a "dangerous zone" and slowly repaired itself until it could withstand it again. Transition behavior does not occur.
