Chapter 363, Warp Speed ​​Engine

"Start the warp drive!"

Following Li Wanzhou's order, everyone became highly nervous again. The warp speed engine, something that the empire took half a century to research, is also a powerful technology that entrusts the empire's ambition to look forward to the universe. Even Li Fu They couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at the monitor.

The fast-flying spaceship, the tail flame of its tail shortened slowly, and finally disappeared. However, due to inertia, the spaceship is still flying fast, but the speed does not increase.

The power of the nuclear fusion reactor in the spacecraft is controlled to the lowest level, but even at the lowest level, the powerful energy generated by nuclear fusion is still very terrifying, but this time the powerful energy generated is not directly used to accelerate the spacecraft, but directly drives the huge The energy goes to the warp drive here.

The energy fluctuations on the spaceship are getting bigger and bigger. Through the monitor, it can be clearly seen that a powerful energy on the spaceship is constantly accumulating, and the powerful energy fluctuations in the back and even in the void are constantly rippling in all directions. Come.

The power of the nuclear fusion reactor is constantly increasing, and the energy generated is getting stronger and stronger. All the energy is delivered to the warp drive, but the warp drive is still not activated at this time, and it needs to consume a lot of energy. The energy is really too huge, far from being able to satisfy its appetite with conventional energy.

Finally, when the energy was accumulated to a certain level, the warp engine on the spaceship finally started to run. The powerful warp engine alone accounted for [-]% of the weight of the spaceship. The warp speed engine made of parallel materials is like an extremely powerful heart, and it finally starts to "beat" with the support of strong and sufficient energy.

The originally dark and dark void, no matter how fast the speed of the spaceship, actually looks like it is still. After all, compared with the vast and boundless universe, even the speed of light is still very slow, very slow, let alone the spaceship. Compared with the speed of light, I don't know how much the difference is.

In the pitch-black and gloomy void, the originally calm void began to resemble the surface of water, with waves of ripples, circles of spatial fluctuations constantly rippling in all directions, up, down, left, and right.

"Space fluctuations?"

All the people who saw this scene with their own eyes couldn't help but widen their eyes, for fear of missing this unforgettable scene in their lives, and even scientists who have research space want to find a trace of it from the fluctuations and ripples in this space. inspiration.

In the void around the spaceship, the spatial fluctuations are getting bigger and bigger. This calm void seems to be thrown into the water surface of a large rock. The circles of ripples can even be seen with the naked eye. In the void, some meteorites, The asteroids and so on also start to rise and fall with the fluctuations of the space, as if they are just above this space.

Finally, when the fluctuations in the space reached a certain level, the surrounding space actually began to fold, like a thin piece of tissue paper, layer by layer began to fold, and the surrounding void seemed to be pulled , constantly folding, pulling, and twisting toward the center of the wave.

The powerful warp engine is running continuously, more and more powerful energy fluctuations and space fluctuations are constantly rippling in all directions in the void, and the nuclear fusion reactor inside the spaceship is also starting to operate crazily, and even greater energy is constantly flowing. Feed it to the warp drive here.

Finally, when the space fluctuations reached a critical point, the space was torn apart like a membrane, revealing the colorful colors inside, which were exactly the same as those in the space-time ocean currents, without the slightest difference, and equally radiant , also shone with a breathtaking light.

"Haha, it worked, the space-time channel has been opened."

Countless scientists showed smiles on their faces one by one, some clenched their fists tightly because they were too excited, and some watched everything happening in the void intently, for fear of missing every point in it.

"The principle of the warp engine is actually very simple. There is no way to fold the space and artificially create a time-space ocean current between two points. It is just because the space is folded that the time-space ocean current is very short, so it can be in a very short time. Time travels across a long distance to another time and space.”

"We are now halfway through. Let's see if we can successfully construct a time-space ocean current. To be precise, it should be a space-time wormhole. long distance."

The scientists who researched the warp drive began to get nervous one by one. They knew very well that now is not the time to be happy, because soon, the really critical time is coming.

Here in the spaceship, the power of the nuclear fusion reactor has reached 8%, and the powerful energy generated by nuclear fusion is continuously delivered to the warp drive. In order to open up space-time, a temporary space-time ocean current (space-time wormhole) is artificially constructed. ) The energy required is too huge, and only the energy produced during nuclear fusion can satisfy it.

All the people looked into the void quietly, the space had been torn apart, as if the colorful ocean had been disguised on the surface, exuding a colorful halo that made people obsessed, but it was still different from the ocean currents of time and space, there was no The space-time channel appears.

The fluctuations in the surrounding space are even more distant, and the ocean of time and space begins to turbulent, as if there is a powerful force in the invisible, a dark and gloomy dot appears in the ocean of time and space, and this dot begins to expand continuously, and soon The small dot becomes a huge space-time wormhole.

Through this space-time wormhole, one can vaguely see the void on the other side, which is pitch black and gloomy, exactly the same as the surrounding void, without any difference.

"Haha, the space-time wormhole has been successfully opened!"

The scientists who studied the warp drive finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and finally opened the space-time wormhole with powerful energy, and because the folding space directly connects the temporary space-time wormhole constructed by two points, they can clearly see There is no doubt that the scene in the distant void can be resisted to the other side in a very short time through such a space-time wormhole.

"Fly in."

Li Wanzhou didn't hesitate, and when the space-time wormhole was large enough, he gave the order directly.

Being in the center of space-time fluctuations, the spaceship receives the command and flies directly into the space-time wormhole. It is very energy-consuming to maintain the space-time wormhole, and only by actually flying into it can we know whether the space-time wormhole can go smoothly or not. Resist the distant void.

Soon, the spacecraft slowly disappeared into the space-time wormhole. As the spaceship flew away, the space-time wormhole began to shrink slowly without the support of energy, and the energy and space fluctuations in the surrounding void also began to gradually decrease. calmed down.

Soon, the colorful ocean of time and space was once again covered by the pitch-black void, and everything around began to return to normal, as if nothing had happened.

The void ahead was still rippling like water waves, but at this time it was as dark and gloomy as the ancient years, without a trace of waves, and everything returned to calm.

"I don't know if it was successful or not."

Everyone began to get nervous. Whether the spaceship had successfully reached the other side or not was uncertain. Even the quantum communication in the time-space ocean current would be affected, so it was impossible to contact the spaceship at this time.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and more than 20 minutes passed in a blink of an eye, but there was still no news from the spaceship. The atmosphere was very gloomy, but everyone was still waiting patiently.

"Didi, Didi!"

Finally, a few minutes later, the spaceship finally got in touch with the control center again. The spaceship successfully reached the remote void and began to actively contact the base camp according to the set procedures.

"Look at the position of the spacecraft? We set the spacecraft to fly to the Hercules galaxy."

Everyone couldn't help looking anxiously at the past. This warp flight seemed to be successful, but how far it can fly at one time is still very important.

At this time, in a void somewhere 5 light-years away from the Centaur galaxy, all kinds of equipment on the spaceship in the Centaur galaxy half an hour ago are fully activated, the most important of which is to detect the surrounding void The starlight in it, and then determine your current position based on these starlight.

"Didi, Didi!"

Soon, based on the collected starlight and combined with the star map data in the computer, the supercomputer calculated the position of the spacecraft and the distance between the spacecraft and the Centaurus galaxy.

"5 light years away from us!"

Someone yelled loudly, and all the scientists couldn't help cheering instantly. It took only half an hour to cross a distance of 5 light years. It can definitely be said that this time the warp flight was a success.

Among other things, this speed alone has far surpassed the distance traveled by space-time ocean currents. You must know that the distance between the solar system and the Centaurus galaxy is only 4.3 light-years, but even with space-time ocean currents installed Sails also take days for the spacecraft to pass.

More importantly, the space-time ocean currents naturally formed in the universe are all regulated and cannot be changed, while the warp drive can artificially construct a temporary space-time ocean current (space-time wormhole) between any two points. Through this space-time wormhole, long distances can be crossed in a short period of time.

"The universe is so big that we can let us gallop!"
