Chapter 551 Crossing the Wormhole(1/2)
Things on the moon are over for now.
Zhang Xiaoman has already arranged their next work content, so there is no need to keep an eye on it.
At this moment, he has arrived on the Dawn and is ready to start this trip.
Although it is said to be a trip, it is actually not that exaggerated.
Because he has unlimited teleportation capabilities, Zhang Xiaoman himself does not need to stay on the ship at all. He only needs to set the route and go directly there when the time comes.
At this time, there was no one else on the Shuguang. Although Zhang Xiaoman's action seemed to have no risk, in the unknown space, everything is possible.
Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, only he can go there alone this time.
Although Li Xiang and Shi Yong both expressed their intention to follow them together, for safety reasons, he still did not agree to the other party's request.
After all, even if he encounters any danger, he can always use unlimited teleportation to come back.
And these people are not awakened, and they cannot even run away when encountering a situation.
With this ability to teleport at any time, the only risk Zhang Xiaoman needs to face during this voyage is actually the Shuguang.
He is not afraid of getting lost in space. His only worry is that the Dawn may not be able to return due to this.
"Star sequence, help me lock this coordinate, set up automatic navigation, and go there immediately."
Arriving in the command room, Zhang Xiaoman issued instructions to the brain of the spacecraft. The target was the wormhole coordinates obtained from the wreckage of the Markkula spacecraft last time.
And the reason why he was so busy coming here, instead of waiting for the level of the spaceship to increase, or to crack more ancient Lengxing technology before taking action, was partly for this reason.
According to current scientists, wormholes, as special existences similar to portals in the universe, are unstable and cannot exist forever, but have a certain timeliness.
Of course, these are just speculations. After all, so far, no one has actually seen a wormhole. He can be regarded as the first among humans.
With the attitude of trusting others, Zhang Xiaoman decided that it would be better to act sooner.
If it takes too long and the wormhole disappears, then he will lose the only way to the ancient prism galaxy.
"The coordinates have been confirmed and automatic navigation is being started..."
"Auto-navigation is enabled, jump mode is ready..."
The voice of the star sequence sounded from around me, and then there was a full 5 minutes of preparation time for the jump.
Zhang Xiaoman sat on the captain's exclusive chair, waiting for that moment to arrive.
To be honest, he is actually a little nervous now.
After all, it was his first interstellar journey, and the destination was an unfamiliar galaxy who didn't know how many light-years away. If he hadn't had this impulse, then with his current ability, he might not have been able to resist a place like that.
Looking at the dark sky around him, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but recall the scene when he flew out of the Aqua Blue Star in an anti-gravity vehicle for the first time.
At that time, the level of his spaceship was still very low, and it would take a long time just to fly out of the atmosphere.
Who would have thought that just a few months later, he would be able to start a real interstellar journey.
Five minutes passed by in a flash. After Dawn prepared for the jump, the spacecraft suddenly accelerated, and the surrounding light suddenly blurred. All that came into view was darkness, and nothing could be seen.
"The jump has ended. There are 320,000km left to the target and we are approaching..."
The voice of the star sequence sounded again, reporting the situation of this voyage.
I have to say that the speed of the jump is really fast. It only took a blink of an eye to reach the destination.
However, for safety reasons, Zhang Xiaoman did not directly jump the spacecraft into the wormhole, but stopped at a certain distance from it to prevent any accidents.
Now he is still 300,000 kilometers away from the wormhole. If Dawn flies at its current speed, it will take about three hours.
During this period of time, he would not wait on the ship, but planned to return to Rebirth Island first, and then teleport back after the ship passed through the wormhole.
One of the simplest reasons for doing this is for safety reasons.
Although Makura has passed through this wormhole before, proving that life forms can travel freely.
But Zhang Xiaoman didn't know if the other party had taken other protective measures. If he encountered any accident while traveling through the wormhole, he would really die without knowing how.
This can't be blamed on him being too cautious. After all, his understanding of space navigation is really limited, and humankind's current technology is still very backward, which makes him have to treat it with caution.
However, although he can no longer board the spaceship, it does not mean that he cannot see the scene here.
The idea came to my mind, and the next second, a small blue figure appeared in front of me.
"Chirp!"
It chirped its signature chirp and happily ran to its owner for a hug.
Zhang Xiaoman touched its head, and then explained his purpose of summoning it.
"Jiujiu, I need to travel through a space wormhole later. Then you can stay on the ship. I will use the ability to share vision to check the situation here and make sure there are no problems before I come back."
That's right, Zhang Xiaoman planned to use Chiu Jiu's natural "field of vision" to guard the spacecraft on his behalf. After ensuring that the Dawn successfully passed through the wormhole, he would then use the ability of infinite teleportation to come over.
Anyway, as a member of the Protoss clan, Jiu Jiu is not in any danger even if he is directly exposed to space. Moreover, it is considered his own skill and will not die. It is most suitable for exploring paths.
Jiujiu was very smart and immediately understood what his master meant.
Although it was a little surprised as to why the owner made it so complicated, it was simple-minded and had no intention of asking, so it happily agreed.
Without any intention of moving the field of view, the little guy started flying beside its owner very affectionately. Zhang Xiaoman looked at the distance between himself and the wormhole, and left immediately without any hurry. He just teased it and killed it.
time.
After resting for a while, the voice of Xingxu finally came to my ears:
"The current distance to the target location is 36,000,000m, and the spacecraft will arrive at its destination in 20 minutes."
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman sat up from the bed in the captain's room with a sudden jerk. After some more attention and tweets, he activated the infinite teleportation and returned to Rebirth Island.
On Rebirth Island, his figure quietly appeared in his room without disturbing anyone.
Switching the field of view, Zhang Xiaoman focused his attention on Jiujiu, and began to observe the situation around the Shuguang through the little guy's perspective.
I saw Jiujiu following his instructions and heading towards the command room.
Although it was occasionally attracted by the surrounding green plants and flowers along the way, it did not stay for too long and quickly reached its destination.
Here, Dawn has activated the holographic mode and can clearly see the starry sky outside the spacecraft.
The starry sky outside is still the same as before, extremely deep and dotted with stars, but it has never changed. It is like a cookie-cutter picture. Although it is beautiful, it will always make people feel a little boring after looking at it for a long time.
Jiujiu wandered around the command room, seemingly not finding anything interesting, and then flew straight to the master's exclusive seat and stopped moving.
Zhang Xiaoman seemed to be able to see the little guy lying there with his ears drooped and looking bored, waiting for the time to end.
He exited the field of view and bought an osmanthus pill from the system store. This was the reward he had just promised to Jiujiu. He would take it with him for him to enjoy when he went back later.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiaoman estimated that the time was almost up and switched his field of view to the tweet side again.
The little fox had already flown up from the chair and was wandering around in the command room. It seemed that he had some reaction to the outside environment.
Zhang Xiaoman was confused. Although he could use his thoughts to summon chirps from a distance, he could not hear what the other party said. Some questions could only be asked face to face after returning home.
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch, which simultaneously displayed the remaining distance between the spacecraft and the impulse.
3600000m……
150000m……
50000m……
The speed of the spacecraft is very fast, and the numbers on the watch are constantly changing.
Since he and the Dawn are too far apart in ancient times, the StarNet terminal cannot receive information from there and can only be used as a timer.
After all, the communication method used by watches now is neutrino communication. This method is quite efficient on the planet, but it is not enough in the vast universe.
Zhang Xiaoman is planning to wait for the communication upgrade module to be randomly received in the gang store one day, and then he can upgrade it at a low price. When the time comes, he will switch to quantum communication, which will basically ignore the distance limit.
As the thought turned, the remaining distance on the watch already showed 0, which meant that the Dawn had reached Impulse.
Looking at the scene in the holographic projection that was no different from usual, Zhang Xiaoman was a little confused.
"Are we here yet? But where is the wormhole? I don't think I saw it. Could it be that it has disappeared?"
He was very nervous. The scene he saw in front of him was really different from what he imagined.
However, Jiu Jiu seemed to sense something and flew to the front of the command room, staring ahead through the ship's armor.
When Zhang Xiaoman saw it behaving strangely, he thought for a moment that he might have guessed wrong. The wormhole did not disappear, but he could not see it with his naked eyes.
As a member of the protoss race, Jiujiu may have some special way of sensing the existence of wormholes.
The Dawn was still flying, and the surroundings were still the same as before, without any changes.
However, in the next second, the scene displayed by the holographic projection suddenly changed. The original monotonous starry sky pattern suddenly changed into a completely unfamiliar scene.
The stars are still the same group of stars, and the deep sky is still the same deep sky, but the lights of the stars that are visible have all changed, their positions have been changed, and even their colors have changed slightly.
It was a scarlet light that made people feel disgusted just by looking at it.
Zhang Xiaoman immediately thought of the infected star in Markkula's records - Prism.
"Is this already through the wormhole?"
Zhang Xiaoman knew that Shuguang must have passed through the wormhole. The whole process seemed to be very smooth and there was no danger.
To be continued...
