Who still falls in love in the interstellar era?

Chapter 178 Merry Christmas

Wang Chao: "Do you know how much helium-3 will be consumed by jumping a hundred times? We have to stay in hyperspace for more than ten hours each time we jump. This means that we have spent more than a thousand hours in it."

Nia: "It's up to you to solve the helium-3 problem, Captain."

“What about the thousands of hours?”

Nia looked confused: "What's the problem?"

Wang Chao: "How are we going to spend these thousands of hours?"

He had only jumped so many times when he got here, and he was already beginning to feel that this period of time in hyperspace was unbearable.

I don’t know how the bounty hunter Wang Chao survived alone in the past. He jumped many times with only one person on the boat, no network communication, and no one to talk to.

Before Wang Chao traveled through time, he passed his time by watching short videos and online articles on the Internet.

But Nia obviously didn't have any experience with this kind of thing. She asked doubtfully: "What's this? I think you can also kill a lot of time playing arcade machines."

Wang Chao built a retro arcade machine on the spaceship before, and would play with the gale for a while when he had nothing to do.

Even if the nerve synapses are not activated, the reaction speed of the two prosthetics is extremely fast. The result is that both sides have infinite defense. In the end, the battle becomes to catch the opponent's stiffness and attack when there is no way to defend.

After Wang Chao won a game in this way, the two of them realized the most efficient way in this situation: the characters stood still and waited for the opponent to make a move.

Since the character doesn't move, he uses his words to make the opponent move. As a result, the two sides start to attack and defend verbally, and they bicker like this until the time counts down.

Then the two set a rule that the character could not move for more than one second. After another "quarrel battle", this rule was upgraded to an attack every second.

In short, the two robots spent many hours fighting around the arcade box, fighting wits and courage.

That's what Nia was talking about.

Wang Chao looked at Liefeng: "Well, now we can indeed pass the time by interacting with people on the ship. But after thousands of hours, we are tired of playing with that arcade frame. How many more gadgets do we need to make to keep us occupied? So much time.”

Lily: "We can watch old movies together."

Helena: "If that doesn't work, we can set up a clinic and I'll cure your 21st century time-travel fantasy."

She still firmly believes that Wang Chao is just a patient who fantasizes about being a time traveler.

Liefeng: "There is really no way to pass the time, so let's have a wine pond and a meat forest! Let's learn from the king in ancient times."

Wang Chao: "After the wine pool and meat forest, the country will be subjugated. This is not a good way to start a school!"

Nia sighed: "If you think about it carefully, it is indeed unrealistic to jump a hundred times just for research."

Nimiao: "You gave up so quickly?"

"Well. After all, I can't get helium-3, and I can't help people pass the time. And I can't guarantee that I will find something after jumping a hundred times. I will modify the design of the engine based on what I observe now and gradually improve it."

Wang Chao: "Yes, run quickly."

Before time travel, Wang Chao was a military fan, and he was familiar with "terminology" such as running in small steps.

Helena was concerned about another question: "By the way, we are in hyperspace now, and it is pitch black when we look out through the window. Is it the same when you see it through gravitational waves?"

Nia frowned and first corrected Helena: "I don't see through gravitational waves, I passively observe the surrounding gravitational waves.

"I saw it as early as the first time I jumped after gaining the ability. At that time, I was worried that I would see some monsters and monsters, but in the end there was nothing in hyperspace.

“There are very few research papers on hyperspace at present, mainly because most of the detection methods that humans have after entering hyperspace cannot detect anything.     “So the few papers on hyperspace put forward hypotheses without any observational data Support, but cannot be effectively verified. "

Wang Chao: "Isn't hyperspace just a completely uncultivated virgin land? You may be the first scholar to uncover the mystery of hyperspace. You may be able to discover that there are four gods of chaos in hyperspace."

Lily suddenly laughed: "The Four Gods of Chaos are the settings in the ancient game you just played, right? Didn't you just say that everyone on the ship will be regarded as the Four Gods of Chaos? Then we do occasionally go into hyperspace. .”

Helena: "I think there might be someone who is obsessed with the settings of these ancient games. When jumping alone, he had hallucinations because of loneliness, and from then on he felt that he was the chosen one of the four gods of chaos.

"In fact, when I was at Socrates University, I came into contact with many patients who often jumped. They jumped too much and thought they were contaminated by something in hyperspace."

Liefeng: "I feel like I'm so crazy now because I jumped too much. The first time I left the Doyle Space Station, I was on my adoptive father's ship. You have to be responsible, adoptive father!"

Wang Chao waved his hand: "Be responsible."

The two were about to continue bickering when Nia shared a design drawing on the public channel: "This is my preliminary modification of the gravity engine. It should be able to effectively reduce the waste heat remaining when leaving hyperspace."

Wang Chao: "Did you design it so quickly?"

Nia: "It's just a preliminary design. The observed data now is not enough. There should be a better design in the future."

Wang Chao, as the person who has flown the longest in the entire living room and is also the only person with actual experience in space combat, exclaimed: "It would be awesome if this could really be realized, because now there is no way to hide the heat generated by the engine after leaving hyperspace. , if the spacecraft wants to avoid detection by others, it has to jump to a place far away from the real destination, and then quietly 'slide' over."

Nia: "Then let's try this modification quickly? It just so happens that we are free now."

Helena: "Change it now? I thought this design required an advanced printer on the dock..."

"My design is designed to be modified by myself in space. If the modification is to remove the gravity engine at the shipyard, I can also change the design and let the shipyard implement it when I return to the United Star Cluster." Nia immediately buried her head. Modify the design.

Nimiao: "With all your hands-on skills, you are actually an astrophysicist?"

Nia: "It's a prejudice that my hands-on ability to do theoretical research must be poor. But I really don't have much experience in engineering design. I just relied on cramming into several engineering textbooks."

Among other things, Cyberman Wang Chao recognizes this learning efficiency, and he can cram things into his brain regardless of the subject.

Nimiao: "Never mind that for now. We jumped away originally to discuss what to do next, but now we are way off topic."

Wang Chao: "Go to New Eden, is there any need to discuss this? Let the United Star Cluster cover our actions, develop a fortress planet in the power vacuum between New Eden and the United Star Cluster, and make a plan to attack New Eden. posture.

"Then we build a spaceship that is not easy to identify. We first go to the middleman who sold me. No, we should start with the softest persimmon first and go to the prosthetic doctor who sold me."

Nimiao: "So we need to change ships in the United Star Cluster first, right? This ship must have at least level three printing capabilities, so that we can find an asteroid with minerals and mine it to transform the spacecraft."

Wang Chao snapped his fingers: "That's it."

Liefeng: "Huh? Decided so quickly? Then it feels like we don't need to jump away."

"I jumped away to prevent being eavesdropped. All of you, please pay attention. You can't mention our purpose at all when we return to the United Star Cluster." Wang Chao stared at the only loudmouth in the team, "Especially you, Liefeng, give it to me Keep your mouth shut!"

Liefeng said perfunctorily: "I know, I know."

After saying that, she yawned greatly.

Nia: "I have completed another design. Can I let them change it when I return to the United Star Cluster?"

Wang Chao: "Okay."
