Liu Zhengyi swore.
As the adjutant of the Qinling, he had served in the First Fleet for some years. He had been on all starships, large and small, and had nearly 10,000 hours of flight time.
However, in the past 10,000 hours of flight time, he couldn't think of an hour or even a minute that was more surprising than the moment he was experiencing now.
With the issuance of the forward order, the output power of the reactor quickly climbed from MW to GW, and the output power of the plasma engine was also operated to the limit. The Z particle positive oscillation device installed at the front of the starship also released its force field.
At first, they didn't feel anything unnatural until the space outside the porthole of the bridge began to distort. The stars inlaid in the long cold night began to gradually elongate, turning from shining spots of light into slender silver needles, gathering toward the space in front of the starship.
It was like …
The universe in front of them was undergoing some kind of collapse.
"The magnetic field of the reactor fluctuates violently, and the concentration of high-energy particle rays around the starship is observed to increase!" The staff sitting in front of the console gulped. He looked back nervously at Captain Deng Yuanshu, who was standing in the bridge, and said with difficulty. "Captain …"
With an indifferent expression on his face, Deng Yuanshu moved his gaze away from the strange scene outside the porthole and looked at Lu Zhou next to him.
"Is the current situation also within your expectations?"
"If you mean the hyperspace channel, then it has indeed opened as I expected." Lu Zhou continued in an excited tone while staring intently at the distorted universe outside the porthole, as if he was afraid of missing any details, "As for what the world behind the door is like, I'm afraid we will only know after we go in!"
After going in …
Hearing the answer given by Lu Zhou, Captain Deng Yuanshu felt his scalp tingle.
However, he was a soldier.
Cooperating with Lu Zhou's experiment was an order given to him by the command center.
Forget about the hyperspace channel, even if there was a black hole or hell in front of him, he would rush in without hesitation.
He clenched his teeth and said resolutely.
"Continue the experiment!"
There was a slight tremor in the hull under his feet. It was as if under the interference of some mysterious force field, it let out an unbearable wail.
Deng Yuanshu felt a strong pulling force crawling all over his body.
The acceleration provided by the plasma engine of the Qinling, which was in a cruising state, was not large, but he had a sense of overweight as if he was bearing a load of several G.
The alarms in the bridge rang one after another, and all the indicator lights flashed red, indicating that their starship was passing through a dangerous area.
Seeing this scene, Captain Deng Yuanshu's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Just when he was ready to die a heroic death, the feeling that was tearing the cells in his body suddenly disappeared.
After piercing the invisible membrane squeezing the front of the starship, their spacecraft seemed to have rushed from the universe they were familiar with into a space that no one had seen before.
This space seemed to be composed of countless fragments, and the darkness that flowed at a speed visible to the naked eye was like an ocean of chaos.
Sailing in this ocean, Captain Deng Yuanshu only felt that the cruiser named after the Qinling Mountains was like a reed floating in a lake, as if a wave could knock it over to the bottom of the lake.
"F * ck …"
Adjutant Liu, who was sitting nearby, stared intently at everything outside the porthole. His pupils were filled with indescribable shock.
He finally couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"Where the f * ck … is this?"
"The hyperspace channel fills the gap between the curved surfaces of the universe, the extra dimension outside the n-dimension. But unlike the Void, we have never really entered here. We just took a shortcut to a distant world from it … I didn't expect this place to be like this. "
Lu Zhou, who was staring intently at everything outside the porthole, muttered to himself.
The voice full of excitement seemed to be answering Adjutant Liu's question, but it also sounded like he was talking to himself.
Captain Deng Yuanshu, who had no time to understand the excitement in Lu Zhou's tone, was staring out the window. He was completely stunned.
He couldn't describe what he saw in front of him, let alone the shock in his heart at the moment.
At this moment, there was only one thing he wanted to figure out.
"How do we … get out?"
"Don't worry about this, the channel has been set up. As long as the hyperspace channel remains stable, we will definitely be able to get out."
"How long do we have to wait —"
Before he could finish his sentence, the scenery outside the porthole had undergone a tremendous change. The starry sky that was originally moving at lightning speed suddenly stopped. The front end of the Qinling seemed to have hit a transparent barrier. The space in front of it was squeezed like the sound barrier at the front of a supersonic fighter, and it was kneaded into a ball like a vortex.
Before they had the time to ask what had happened, the strong sense of supergravity struck them again, and the pain made everyone in the bridge faint.
"The Z particle oscillation device itself does not have the ability to tear space … Its principle is to open a hyperspace channel in the direction of the gravitational field by disturbing the gravitational field between two massive stars or planets. When entering and leaving, it will be affected by the chaotic gravitational field, so it may be a little painful … Okay, maybe more than a little. "
Just when Lu Zhou endured the pain and said this, the scene outside the porthole changed again.
The twisted space suddenly swayed with circles of ripples, and the folds swept by the ripples returned to calm one by one.
Like drilling out of the deep sea, the Qinling, which finally broke through the barrier, seemed to have jumped from one world to another.
When they saw the fiery red planet, everyone in the bridge showed shocked expressions on their faces.
Especially Captain Deng Yuanshu.
Looking at all this in front of him, with uncontrollable excitement on his face, he squeezed the sentence out of his stiff throat with a slightly trembling voice.
"Did we … succeed?"
There was silence in the bridge.
Everyone who was still in shock had forgotten to speak.
Until the voice of the Mars Spaceport dispatch center came from the communication channel.
"This is the Tiangong City Orbital Space Station Dispatch Center. You have entered the controlled airspace. If you need to dock at the port, please follow the instructions to switch orbit … Uh, where did you come from? Why didn't our radar notice you at all just now? "
With this voice, the silence in the bridge was finally broken.
The staff sitting in front of the console quickly responded to the dispatchers of the spaceport, explaining that they were performing a mission on their side, and contacted the Lagrange Space Base through the communication repeater of the spaceport, reporting the good news of the success of the experiment to their superiors.
In fact, this experiment was more than a success.
It could be described as a great victory.
Deng Yuanshu clenched his fists and loosened them. He couldn't describe the excitement in his heart, just like when he first entered the hyperspace channel, he couldn't describe the surprise in his heart in words …
"5 minutes 23 seconds, warp distance of 120 million kilometers."
After glancing at the time on the holographic screen, Lu Zhou looked at Captain Deng standing next to him. With a bright smile on his face, he continued.
"Thank you for your trust and cooperation. Our mission has been successfully completed. As you can see in front of you, we have made history! "
"But, I still don't understand, why is the speed on the speed indicator still 30 kilometers per second?" Adjutant Liu, who stared at the control interface for a long time and couldn't figure it out, finally couldn't help but ask the confusion in his heart, "How the hell is this done?!"
Hearing these words, Lu Zhou smiled faintly and explained the reason to him in as concise and easy to understand as possible.
"Because our speed is indeed 30 kilometers per second, but this refers to our relative speed when using the sun as a reference frame in the classical universe. However, in the non-classical universe, that is, the hyperspace channel described in my hyperspace theory, the relative speed of the classical universe is not applicable. The speed and the total time we spend in the hyperspace channel only depend on the mass of the transmitted material and the power of the Z particle oscillator itself, or … "
At this point, he paused for a moment.
Looking at Captain Deng Yuanshu, whose face was full of shock, he showed a happy smile on his face and continued.
"… Or, it should be called something else now.
"For example, how about a warp drive?"
…
At the same time that the Lagrange Space Base received the good news from the Qinling, the Venus Space Station in geosynchronous orbit also saw this amazing process.
From their perspective, the starship, which was originally moving toward Mars at a normal speed, disappeared from their sight like a submarine that suddenly sank into the sea.
At first, Field thought that there was a bug in their observation system, causing the focal length parameters to change, thus losing the trace of the Qinling. However, no matter how they re-calculated the course and searched with radar, they could not successfully find the missing "Qinling".
That starship seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving everyone scratching their heads in confusion.
It wasn't until they reported this strange thing to the North America Space Agency that the whereabouts of the Qinling came to light.
According to the timestamp in the briefing, just five minutes after they lost the Qinling, the North America Alliance spaceport on Mars orbit discovered it.
In just five minutes, they crossed a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers!
If it weren't for the frontline observers swearing on their mother's name and God's name that they absolutely did not make a mistake, the senior executives of the North America Space Agency wouldn't have believed that all of this was true …
