Chapter 539 Space Illusion
The transition calculation of the Pioneer spacecraft is performed by the intelligent brain system, and Su Wei is also assisted by it. Although the transition engine that Su Yichen and the others have not been perfect and is still far from Ike's spacecraft, the transition engine of the spacecraft has been operating well during these sailing days when they left the new earth. Even if there is a slight difference in transition distance, it is within a reasonable range.
There is a distance of 25 light years from the wormhole to the location of the small galaxy. The Pioneer spacecraft sets the transition distance as light years. The two light years distance reserved is one for room for error, and the other is also considered as the safety of transition flight.
The 25 light-year gap, the search information must actually be different. This is a very basic concept in space navigation. Therefore, when the Pioneer spacecraft escapes from the jump, it is logical that they are about two light-years away from the destination, then the remaining distance will be in a state of curvature flight forward. When entering the edge of a small galaxy, the spacecraft will escape from the curvature state and adopt a normal flight mode.
But now, when the Pioneer spacecraft escapes from the transitional flight, the next step is to enter curvature flight according to the program. However, when the spacecraft intelligent brain once again locates the small galaxy, the distance data displayed made Su Yichen and others stunned, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Did the intelligent brain fail during the process of crossing the wormhole?" Su Yichen thought so in a moment of shock, but Su Wei's subsequent review proved that there was no problem with the intelligent brain and that all data was correct.
How is this possible? The data in front of Su Yichen shows that they are still 20 light years away from the original target set by the small galaxy. You should know that the jump distance they set is light years, which is 20 light years away from hunger! If it is not for the problem of the intelligent brain, is it because the jump engine has a malfunction? Su Yichen immediately checked the jump engine to figure out where the problem lies.
After some tossing and checking, it was found that the transition engine had no faults and was running completely well. This was even more strange. It was obviously a set distance of light-years of transition, but in fact it only had a distance of only 3 light-years. There was no problem with the calculation of the intelligent brain, and the transition engine did not have an imagined fault. It is logical that this situation could not have occurred at all.
Su Yichen and Luo Yan looked at each other. They had never encountered such a situation before, and they didn't understand why such a strange thing happened.
"Xiao Wei, what is your judgment?" Luo Yan asked Su Wei. As an intelligent life, he has the strongest ability in this regard.
Su Wei was also very confused at this time. Although he had strong computing and judgment ability, this situation was completely beyond his ability. According to normal circumstances, this would not happen at all. But the facts were in front of them.
When checking the transition engine, Su Wei conducted another review of data settings and intelligent brain programs. All the results were the same as before. They did only jumped 3 light years away. What was going on?
"So everything is normal, and the spacecraft's equipment is not malfunctioning, but our location has only moved 3 light years away, and I don't understand why this is the case." Su Wei replied in frustration. He could not answer this question, which is the same as Su Yichen and his wife.
"Will there be a question of probability? For example, if the transition engine will cause this situation at a certain probability?" Luo Yan inferred from common sense. Su Yichen thought about it. It is not that there is no such thing as an intelligent brain or a mechanical system. Whether it is 100% accurate during operation, even the smallest chance may occur. This is theoretically completely valid.
And now that they cannot answer this situation in other ways, this slim probability of existence becomes the only answer. Not only Su Yichen, but even Su Wei also thinks that this possibility is possible. Perhaps this is due to the influence of wormholes, this very small probability will be generated.
Put the problem aside, let's think it's the reason for the chance. Su Yichen decided to make another jump flight. This time the coordinate position was still the previous position. After repeated review and inspection, the Pioneer spacecraft started the transition engine again. In the universe, the second jump flight of the Pioneer spacecraft began, and everything was still smooth. When they escaped from the jump, Su Yichen couldn't wait to check the distance between them and the small galaxy. When the data result came out, everyone was stunned again.
"Impossible! This...how is this possible!"
Su Yichen was extremely shocked. He even shouted, as for Luo Yan, he also had an incredible expression. All data showed that their second jump was only one light year ahead, and this jump was shorter than the last time, and now they were 19 light years away from the coordinate position they should have arrived.
When a problem occurs the first time, everyone attributes it to a possible chance when they fail to find the answer to the question. When this happens the second time, it cannot be answered with chance. You should know that before the two jump flights, they made careful preparations, but the result was unexpected. If you use chance to explain this situation, it is theoretically impossible to explain it.
Faced with this situation, Su Yichen and his wife looked at each other, and they could not explain it at all. At the same time, a cold air emerged from their hearts, making them feel that this airspace is indescribable weirdness and mystery. What is going on? Why did the jump cause such a huge mistake?
"Just now……."
Suddenly, a voice sounded. Su Yichen looked up and saw that the person who was talking was Su Wei. He saw that there was a deep sense of doubt and confusion on Su Wei's face.
"What happened just now? Did you find something?" Su Yichen asked anxiously.
Su Wei thought about it and shook her head, but after a while he frowned again.
"I don't know if I discovered that I seemed to have an illusion when I jumped just now."
"Illusion?" Su Yichen couldn't help but look at Luo Yan. It would be normal if an ordinary human had an illusion, but Su Wei is not an ordinary human, he is an intelligent life! As an intelligent life, his instinct has great rationality, which is fundamentally different from a smart life. Will Su Wei have an illusion? In theory, this is impossible. Moreover, even if there is an illusion, with Su Wei's powerful computing and judgment ability, he can fully understand whether this is an illusion.
"What kind of illusion? It doesn't matter, you say it boldly." Luo Yan encouraged softly when she saw Su Wei's attitude of wanting to speak but stopping.
Su Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, "When I was jumping, I seemed to feel that space was infinitely pulling the god..."
"Infinite stretching of space?" Su Yichen and his wife never expected that the illusion that Su Wei mentioned was actually this, infinite stretching of space? How is this possible? The universe they are in is a three-dimensional universe, and the time one dimension is four-dimensional. In three-dimensional space, the distance between space is fixed. Even if there is a space oscillation, it only has a small impact, and there is not much fluctuation in the overall space.
However, when she heard Su Wei say his illusion, Su Yichen suddenly thought of Su Wei's ability. You must know that Su Wei is an extremely special intelligent life. He is an intelligent life with unique spatial capabilities. Although neither the intelligent brain nor the equipment on the spacecraft detected any fluctuations or oscillations in the space, Su Wei felt that the space was stretched. Not to mention whether this was an illusion, it forced Su Yichen to pay attention to it just one point.
"Can you confirm?" Su Yichen asked. But Su Wei shook her head: "It's not certain, it's just an illusion. I don't even know whether it is true or false."
"So how do you feel that the space is stretching infinitely?"
"It's an instinct. And this feeling is only a very short moment, as short as a scale of one million seconds. I can't judge it." Su Wei said regretfully.
"This..." Su Yichen didn't know how to judge the illusion that Su Wei said, but after thinking about it, he turned his eyes to Luo Yan. At this time, Luo Yan saw a judgment in Su Yichen's eyes. She also thought about it for a while, and then asked Su Wei: "Can you be sure if you do it again?"
"I can't guarantee it, but if there is a two-time illusion, then logically this should be real." Su Wei replied with the unique thinking of intelligent life.
"What about the first time? Didn't you feel it when you first jump?"
Su Wei thought about it for a moment and soon shook her head: "No, it's not the first time, I don't know why it's not there, maybe I didn't pay attention."
Luo Yan nodded slightly to Su Yichen. Su Yichen understood his wife's thoughts and immediately decided to perform another jump flight to prove whether the illusion that Su Wei felt really existed.
The Pioneer spacecraft has made two jump flights, and the third jump flight requires a certain amount of time to prepare. During the preparation process, Su Yichen and the others were not idle. According to the illusion that Su Wei said, they specially carried out auxiliary preparation plans. Luo Yan even mobilized part of the spacecraft's intelligent brain functions to assist Su Wei in making judgments.
About ten hours later, the Pioneer spacecraft's jump engine was ready for the third jump flight. The coordinates of this jump were still the same as the previous two times. When the spacecraft began to start the jump engine, Su Yichen and Luo Yan looked ahead without turning their eyes, and at the same time tried to feel the illusion mentioned by Su Wei.
The third jump flight was still completed smoothly, and when the jump escaped, Su Yichen and the others immediately determined the distance between their location and coordinates again. The distance of this jump was shorter than the second time. The first time they jumped about 3 light years, and the second time they jumped 1 light year, while the distance of the third jump had been shortened to 0.7 light years...
"I felt it, that's the feeling!" Su Wei said loudly, with affirmation in his expression. He told Su Yichen and his wife that he felt the feeling of infinite stretching of space again, and according to what he said, this time the feeling was stronger than the previous one. It was precisely because of such a strong feeling that he was sure that this was not an illusion, but something that actually happened.
When Su Wei received Su Wei's answer, Su Yichen suddenly became silent. He looked up at the starry sky in front of him, and the small galaxy that was not too far away. Some questions kept popping up from the bottom of his heart, confusing him.
According to Su Wei, there was a very short time when they were in the jump flight, and the space was infinitely stretched. It was this stretch that caused the distance they were jumping to cause a huge deviation. For example, a person was running, and while he was running, the road under his feet was extending or moving forward in the same direction. Then, at the speed of the person running, the distance he was running would be greatly shortened.
This kind of analogy is somewhat different, but it is roughly the same. If so, it can also explain why the spacecraft's transition engine and other equipment will have such a result without any problems. But what Su Yichen can't figure out is why the space is infinitely stretched, and more importantly, why this situation occurs at the moment of their transition. What is going on? What is the secret of this airspace?
While Su Yichen was considering these issues, Luo Yan was also considering these issues. She looked ahead and suddenly thought of something and immediately raised it.
"You mean we give up on the jump flight and move forward in a state of curvature?"
"That's right!" Luo Yan nodded and said, "We all know Xiao Wei's abilities. Since he judged that this is not an illusion, but a real existence, it should not be wrong. Perhaps this place has something strange that we don't know, and based on Xiao Wei's two feelings, it seems that the closer it is to this situation, the more obvious it is."
"This...yes, it seems to be the case according to the situation." Su Yichen did not object to Luo Yan's judgment, but instead reminded him of this aspect that he had not noticed just now.
Luo Yan continued: "Since that's the case, then we simply give up the jump flight and move forward in the curvature state. In this way, we can better judge the characteristics of infinite stretching of space. Whether it can be verified or not, it is better than not being able to find the answer, right?"
