Chapter 220 Things to note about wormholes

This is a very common level 2 wormhole. Wormholes are generally divided into levels 1-6 according to difficulty. Among them, only wormholes with level 1-3 difficulty will have fixed wormhole passages leading to known images.

Among them, wormholes of level 4-6 are often the only wormholes deep in the star field and cannot be directly connected to the known star field.

For most people, wormholes are a place full of mystery. It may be the word of mouth from players who have encountered various cave difficulties one after another, or it may be the tragedy of those who overestimate their capabilities and want to challenge the wanderers.

So much so that most people are put off by wormholes.

In fact, aside from the fact that there are no star gates or space stations, there is not much difference between wormhole galaxies and ordinary galaxies.

If you want to enter a wormhole, you first need to use a probe scanner to scan unknown space signals and find the wormhole signal, and then you can enter the wormhole.

This time, Li Yi drove a Cronus-class predator ship again, and together with five Cronus-class ships, they found a wormhole signal, and then came to the entrance of the wormhole.

"First of all, we need to determine the information about the entrance of this wormhole."

Li Yi first introduced the various key points of entering the wormhole.

To enter a wormhole, especially to fight, you must determine the situation at the entrance.

The entrance of a wormhole has three main attributes. One is the maximum mass, which is the total mass of the spacecraft allowed to pass through the entrance of the wormhole. Once the mass of the passing spacecraft exceeds the maximum mass, the entrance of the wormhole will collapse.

For example, if the total mass of a hole is 10 billion, and the mass of a battleship reaches 2000 million, then this hole can allow up to 50 battleships to pass through.

And if these battleships want to come out of this hole, that is, run back and forth, they can only enter 25 battleships at most.

This is the importance of the total mass of the hole to determine how many spacecraft can enter.

Once the cave entrance collapses and the spacecraft inside does not have a probe launcher or scanning probe, it will become a cave accident.

However, with the Kronos-level slot, it is not a problem to equip a probe launcher, so even if you encounter cave difficulties, there is still nothing you can do.

The quality impact is divided into three stages. When the remaining quality is greater than 50% and less than 100%, it indicates that the quality is not affected; when the remaining quality is greater than 10% and less than 50%, it indicates that the quality has been affected, but not seriously; When the remaining mass is less than 10%, it indicates that the mass has been seriously affected and is about to collapse.

Another one is the maximum mass allowed to pass in a single pass.

For example, the maximum mass allowed to pass through a first-level wormhole at a time is 2000 million. This means that almost all the ships that can enter and exit the first-level wormhole are battleships and below, because most battleships have a mass of more than 2000 million.

But what needs extra attention is the sisterhood's battleship, the Nestor class, which is called Baymax by players. This is a battleship that can enter the first-level wormhole galaxy because its mass reaches 2000 million.

This is a battleship that is far lighter than other battleships. It is a battleship specially developed by the Sisters to explore wormholes.

Moreover, the properties of this spacecraft are also extremely suitable for fighting in wormholes.

This battleship is even lighter than some mining barges, such as the Delusion-class and Hawk-class mining barges, which have a mass of 3000 million and cannot enter a first-level wormhole.

However, Li Yi chose a second-level wormhole, which can allow most spacecraft to enter. Only flagship-class spacecraft cannot enter the wormhole due to its huge mass.

Of course, more advanced wormholes will allow more mass to pass through the hole in a single pass. Those wormholes can allow flagship-class spacecraft to pass through. Like this, according to the spacecraft allowed to pass through the wormhole, it is generally divided into medium-sized holes, which allow spacecraft below the battleship level to pass; large holes, which allow battleships to pass through, but not flagships; and super-large holes, which allow flagship-level spacecrafts to pass through. .

In addition to the wormhole mass, there is also an attribute of wormhole duration, which is how long this naturally occurring wormhole entrance can last.

Generally speaking, the duration of time is also divided into 4 stages.

In the first stage, the wormhole has not yet entered the decline stage of the natural cycle, which means that the existence time of this wormhole entrance is more than 24 hours.

In the second stage, the wormhole has begun to decay, and its existence time is greater than 4 hours and less than 24 hours.

In the third stage, the wormhole is about to reach its life cycle, which means that the wormhole will exist for more than 5 minutes and less than 4 hours.

In the fourth stage, the wormhole will disappear, which means that the wormhole has existed for less than 5 minutes.

"Pay attention, when we continuously pass through the wormhole entrance, we will encounter polarization!"

Li Yi continued to explain the precautions in the wormhole, because there is no stargate in the wormhole. Even if the spacecraft is firing, you can enter the wormhole. However, the stargate is different. It is in firing mode and cannot pass through the stargate. You must wait. The spacecraft stopped firing and waited until the effects of the firing were eliminated before it could pass through the star gate.

However, wormholes also have related limitations, which is "polarization". If you pass through the wormhole twice, you will encounter polarization. That is because the spacecraft is affected by a large number of charged bosons in a short period of time. In a short period of time, these charged bosons cannot be attached to the surface of the spacecraft again.

Without the protection of bosons, if the spacecraft enters the wormhole, it will be torn apart by the huge gravity in the hyperspace passage.

This is "polarization". The time of polarization is usually about 4 minutes, which means that it takes 4 minutes before contact can be made through the wormhole again.

"Also, unless there is a cave collapse, we must not allow the use of faders or any other propulsion equipment."

Li Yi finally reminded that that is because the mass of the spacecraft will be greatly increased when these thrusters are turned on, especially the faders, which are micro jump thrusters.

The micro-jump thruster uses the principle of a curvature engine, which can distort the space around the spacecraft and greatly increase the speed of the spacecraft. However, this situation will cause the signal of the spacecraft to increase by half. After all, it distorts the surrounding space. In disguise, it makes the spacecraft The size of the spacecraft has also increased.

At the same time, this will also cause the mass of the spacecraft to be greatly increased, which will greatly consume the mass allowed to pass through the hole. For example, a hole that could originally allow 50 battleships to pass through may only allow more than 10 battleships to pass after the battleships turn on the faders.

If you don't take the initiative to collapse the wormhole entrance, then you must not be able to open the fader and enter the wormhole.

This is an absolute prohibition. Once someone does this, it will easily cause difficulty in the cave and cause great trouble to teammates in the wormhole.

However, to actively collapse the cave, you must use faders and a spacecraft modification called the Higgs particle anchor. This modification can greatly reduce the speed of the spacecraft and greatly increase the weight of the spacecraft. This is specially used to Tunnel modifications.

This is what you need to do before entering the wormhole. Of course, before entering the mysterious wormhole, the most important thing is to carry the probe launcher and probe, and save the coordinates of the hole entrance.

Now, Li Yi took these six Cronus-class predator ships to find a suitable wormhole from the Black Abyss Starfield, and then entered this mysterious wormhole galaxy.

"There are a lot of hibernators. Fortunately, this is only a level 2 wormhole."

As soon as he entered the wormhole, Li Yi discovered the hibernator spacecraft guarding the entrance of the wormhole.
