Episode 10 Chapter 6: Destination
Space jump is an ultra-high technology that exceeds human imagination. Human scientists really have no idea what scientific principles it follows. They are just like monkeys playing with computers and elephants opening refrigerators. They simply know how to use it.
I don't know its function and theory at all.
However, space jump is the biggest reliance for human beings to survive in this big universe. Not to mention finding a living planet, just looking for materials and energy. These are enough to support the survival of hundreds of thousands of humans on the Hope. Space
Jumping is the only method at present. This can be said to be a thing for human beings to eat. How could we not study and summarize it?
So far, after more than ten years of summary, Hope has basically determined several rules for space transitions.
One of them is known from the beginning. As the mass of the transition material increases, the energy required increases geometrically. Taking the current Hope as an example, the energy required needs to be provided by several large hydrogen polymerization reactors.
You must know that this is a hydrogen polymerization reactor, not a fission reactor. One is the energy generated by the fusion of hydrogen atoms, which is the energy generated by the sun or stars, and the other is just the energy of atomic fission. Not only is the required material different,
The energy levels generated are completely different, just like a match and a forest fire.
Now, if Hope is to make a space jump, it needs several large hydrogen polymerization reactors to provide energy. Its energy consumption is almost equivalent to the total energy consumption of the United States in the same unit of time on Earth!
If the future mothership of mankind under design, named after Kunlun, the legendary fairy mountain in the original country Z, is to make a jump, the energy required can only be supplied by a giant hydrogen polymerization reactor, and the energy consumption per unit time is over
Large, it requires the use of a plasma energy supply system.
This is the first law, and the second law is the uncertainty of space jump. That is, after the jump begins, no one can be sure where the jump destination is. It may be in the vast void of the universe (9%
Nineteen point ninety-nine...above), or inside the galaxy, or even more exaggerated jumps within the planet's crust have been encountered by the Hope. Of course, it is also possible to jump directly to those dangerous areas, not to mention black holes.
Terrifying stars such as neutron stars and white dwarfs, even if they are closer to the star or jump into the interior of some large gaseous planets, this will be a devastating disaster.
So, space jump, or uncontrollable space jump, is purely a kind of gambling. Although the failure rate of this kind of gambling is only 0.00... there are countless zeros followed by one plus one, but once it fails, it means
Total destruction!
Because of this, human beings using space jump as a second-level cosmic civilization is a kind of gambling with the lives of the entire race. Because of this, Val is so important, and the prophet ability is so important, and
This is also the reason why Yao Yuan and others were so ecstatic after learning about its existence, and also why they made all the modifications to the Hope just for one ability and one person. This is also one of the reasons.
The purpose is to let Val clearly know the three major elements of his prediction: time, place, and event, and then use these predictions to determine the response to future events. The most important prediction among them is the prediction of the space jump of the Hope.
At this moment, Val was sitting on the chair with a pale face. Her body was still trembling slightly, because at this moment, the future had changed. When Yao Yuan made up his mind not to take risks, he would jump immediately as long as he couldn't think of a way.
, the future had already changed at that time, because Yao Yuan was the head of the Hope, and his orders could not be disobeyed as long as they were in compliance with the law. This had fundamentally changed the future.
So Val suffered the side effects of her prophecy ability. She was already drowsy at the moment, and she was just holding on there. However, several people around her didn't dare to let her go down to rest now, because she just said it again
Another even more astonishing prophecy.
"...I saw Uncle Yao sitting in the captain's cabin. He ordered the jump, and then our Hope disappeared into this universe. But the moment we completed the jump, electricity exploded everywhere inside the Hope.
There were sparks, and then Uncle Yao was touched with blood all over his body. Before I could see what was going on, the entire Hope exploded. Everything exploded. Vaguely, I only saw a huge fireball.
It’s not far away from the Hope…”
After Val finished saying these words, his eyelids were already fighting, his face was frighteningly pale, and he finally couldn't help but fall asleep. Polly, who was next to him, saw her sleeping, and immediately got up and hugged the girl, and then
He said to Yao Yuan coldly: "I'll send her to the hospital first, and you guys can chat first... By the way, there are many situations where blood spurts out all over the body, but in high gravity and high pressure environments, capillaries all over the body will burst.
in this way……"
While talking, Polly had already carried Val away first. There were naturally secret troops guarding the room outside the secret conference room, so there was no need to worry that she could not send Val to the hospital. Everyone in the conference room had different expressions on their faces.
Apparently, they all felt chills down their backs due to the prophecy Val just said.
Wang Guangzheng is not a thinker. When he saw that the three of them were silent, he immediately laughed and said: "It's better to have a prophet, otherwise after this jump, we humans may have been completely finished... What are you thinking?
What? Could it be..."
Wang Guangzheng looked at the serious expressions of the three people. He felt a thump in his heart and immediately asked: "Is it inevitable that this jump to the surface of the star is inevitable?"
Yes, what kind of mechanism does space jump follow? Human beings are completely unable to understand it. One second, it may jump to the inside of the galaxy, and the next second, it may jump to an extremely distant place outside the galaxy. There will be no trace of existence for tens of millions of light years.
, so after Wang Guangzheng heard Val's prediction, he was not very worried. At most, he was just afraid. At most, it would not be a big deal to wait a few days before jumping. You must know that judging from the size of the universe, the entire universe can be considered
It is a vacuum, a vacuum defined by human standards. Those stars and planets are really too sparse compared to the size of the universe. You may not be able to get close if you jump hundreds of thousands of times. Like this, if you jump directly to the surface of a star,
The example can be said to be a case of great luck... Of course, it is a case of bad luck, with a chance of one in a billion.
But Wang Guangzheng is not stupid. He saw something was wrong with the expressions of the two thinkers and Yao Yuan. He also noticed that something was wrong, and the only thing he could think of was this... The jump to the surface of the star is irreversible! Then
It's terrible.
All three people shook their heads, and Yao Yuan said directly: "It's just a prediction, so I'm not sure yet. It's just that we probably all thought of the same thing, so we have some concerns... It's actually very simple, it's a controlled jump.
We actually have no way of understanding or imagining what is going on. Let me tell you one thing. Lao Wang, you may not know much about it because you are in charge of military matters, but they and I both know this matter. Then
Since Zero used controllable space jumps, we have been moving within a river system during these space jumps."
Wang Guangzheng suddenly looked at Yao Yuan in surprise, and Qi Xiaoniao next to him immediately said: "Yes, in fact, this is thanks to the artificial intelligence system. Since the mother program of the artificial intelligence system was implanted into the central computer,
The computing power of the central computer has been thoroughly developed, and the astrological charts recorded for each of our jumps are stored in it. Since the second controllable jump, the central computer has determined that we are in a river system, and
We are jumping into the inner part of the river system. We only need to go through another controlled jump, and then we can basically determine the approximate location of the destination."
Yao Yuan immediately took over the topic and continued: "So you understand, the controllable jump brought the Hope to the star-dense area. The closer it is to the inner part of the galaxy, the higher the density of galaxies here. Just now Val said Hope
After the No. 1 jumped to the surface of the star, I had a guess... Do I hope that the approximate positions of the several controllable jumps of the No. 1 have been determined, but only need to be calculated and controlled by Zero through special methods?
, what about making subtle adjustments? And the adjustment time is three months... To put it simply, during these three months, the Hope has actually been in a controllable jump, and the direction of the jump is the same as that of the past three months.
The location is all on the side of Noah No. 1, but without Zero’s fine adjustments and calculations, we can’t reach it accurately..."
"Speaking of which," Ren Tao suddenly said, "This reminds me of a very interesting experiment in quantum theory. At that time, scientists observed the trajectory of an electron and found that the electron existed in several trajectories at the same time.
Online, but the target is the same point, will the controllable space jump also follow the same principle? That is, the destination is determined first, and then the intermediate jump position and jump number are determined. Otherwise, why would we
How many jumps are needed?"
Wang Guangzheng understood what they meant when he heard this. To put it simply, the destination of Hope has been determined, which is the galaxy of the living planet where Noah 1 is located. However, without Zero control, Hope
The number will randomly appear in the vicinity of this galaxy, and it is likely to appear very close to the star... After all, stars are the truly visible existences in the universe, and they are also the easiest to determine their orientation, so jump to the vicinity of the stars as much as possible.
This is the most likely way to get close to the galaxy where Noah 1 is located...
But then...
Isn’t it possible for the Hope to make a disorderly jump?
"No matter what, we need to make some preparations. Ren Tao, you are responsible for waiting for Val's awakening, asking her about the new prophecy, and at the same time coming up with any possible solutions. Qi Xiaoniao, you are responsible for communicating with zero and asking about it.
Is the controllable space jump impossible to stop once it starts? Then it’s me...and Lao Wang."
Yao Yuan looked at Wang Guangzheng and said solemnly: "We are responsible for inspecting the Type 011 space fighter and various equipment for boarding battles..."
Chapter completed!
