Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

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" 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 was 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 a case. After obtaining coordinate records many times, he confirmed that at least most of the "cradle" galaxy is in this state.

Thinking about the cause of this phenomenon reminded him of a subconsciously ignored question, 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 a 'hyperspace channel'...",

"Is it actually hyperspace..." The unexpected answer made Li Wenyuan more doubtful.

If it wasn't 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 was somewhat beyond Li Wenyuan's expectations.

It was thought that only human beings 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 500 million light-years away from "starving to death", Li Wenyuan plans to let a batch of spaceships carrying resources leap over to rescue the emergency.

The special superluminal movement method of the leap engine determines that whether it is one light-year or 500 million light-years, it is an instant for it.

The only thing to pay attention to now is whether the "space-time ghost" induced by the "paper-thin" space-time structure has other properties?

The "space-time apple" that moves two millimeters per hour can't explain all the problems. 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 are also aimed there, recording all the data of that space all the time.

A large cargo spaceship full of various 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", and no matter what the result is, it is destined to bring him useful information.

In the end, the jump engine on the cargo spacecraft started to work, and in an instant, it formed a huge stance surrounding the spacecraft, and even the light was distorted by it, becoming a glow that overflowed 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 then, the unexpected happened.

The moment the jump engine was officially activated, two almost identical time and space appeared in the world, the only difference being that one had a spaceship and the other did not.

A slight disturbance caused space-time to begin to confirm where the spaceship should be, and finally "determined" that the spaceship was in the latter space-time 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 the transition has taken place.

The resentment of time and space rupture 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 photographic equipment did not capture the process of its appearance. A spaceship that never seems to move.

However, the instruments 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.

- including use of the 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, but Li Wenyuan also discovered that the speed of the "ghost spacecraft" starting the jump engine is even a little faster than that of 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", slowly repairing itself, until it can withstand it again. Transition behavior does not occur.
