Chapter 685, Gate of Time and Space

In a void in the direction of the Imperial Dragon Colt River System leading to the Gross River System, this place originally belonged to the remote area of ​​the Long Colt River System, with few people, and no imperial people settled within a few hundred light-years around.

However, in the past 10 years, it has been very lively here. The military of the empire has enclosed a range of thousands of light-years around it and listed it as a military restricted zone. It is hidden in the picture, and ordinary spaceships cannot fly here at all.

A large number of spaceships from the Imperial Academy of Time and Space Science have arrived here, and they are constantly busy in the entire void, exploring the surrounding void, mining one by one planets, asteroids, meteorites, etc., and galaxies surrounded by Staring at the stars, huge space factories are continuously working, continuously smelting something.

In an empty void, space ports and space cities are distributed very regularly, presenting a spherical shape, which seems to surround an area in the middle.

The entire void is very busy, the rising and falling spaceships, space battleships, and small spaceships coming and going, the brightly lit space city and space port, everything looks very busy.

The central area of ​​this area is even more busy. Spaceships are constantly transporting things here. Space ports are lined up in the void. The universe is very moored in the space ports, and the hatches are wide open. The robotic arm moves the large parts out of the warehouse one by one.

These parts are very huge, with a length of 10 kilometers, a width of 2 kilometers, and a height of 1 kilometer. Usually, a spaceship can only transport one or two such large parts, and these spaceships are still specially modified spaceships. , is a spacecraft specially used to transport these large parts.

The parts were unloaded by the robotic arm, and these spaceships took off quickly to free up the space, because there were more spaceships waiting to be unloaded.

In the space port, the mechanical arm transports the parts to the assembly place. Although all the parts are large, they are all carefully designed and calculated. Like bricks, they are slowly assembled into a giant object above.

At this time, the whole picture of this object is still invisible, only a huge pillar can be seen. This pillar is now millions of kilometers high, standing quietly in the void like a pillar of the sky. Compared with this long stick, the space port leaning on this pillar is very small.

Looking up, this void is very wide, as huge as a solar system, and it is very busy everywhere. I don’t know what the scientists of the empire are building. There are 4 huge pillars in the void that are working at the same time. put up.

"This progress is too slow. It has been 10 years, and we haven't even completed 10%. Calculated, it may take us millions of years to complete."

In a space port, Long Shaofei looked at the virtual image, and was very dissatisfied with the current progress. As the new leader in the space science field of the Empire, he is now the person in charge of the big project here.

"Take your time, don't rush. We are laying the foundation for the first 10 years, and the progress will be faster and faster. The gate of time and space is not so easy to build. All materials are degenerate. Materials, even our empire is very rich now, but the empire's finances have suddenly become tense over the years."

"If we concentrate more energy and financial resources to build the gate of time and space, our imperial prime minister may have to shave his hair. These are all degenerate materials, and the space battleship is only made of superficial materials. It’s just a layer, but our side is a whole piece, a whole piece, and I don’t know how many galaxies need to be hollowed out to build it.”

Next to Long Shaofei, Yu An seemed very patient. He knew exactly how much money the huge project in front of him had cost.

"I also know, but if the theory of space-time transmission is not tested, it will always be a theory. I can't wait in my heart."

Long Shaofei shook his head with a wry smile.

Long Shaofei was the first to realize the profound meaning of space transmission. Over the years, imperial scientists have also made rapid progress in this field. But if you want to further develop, you must practice. This is true for everything. Theory must be in line with practice. Collections can really develop.

"Take your time, there is no rush."

Yu An smiled and looked into the void. The four huge pillars were still under construction day and night, and a large number of spaceships were constantly transporting large parts one by one. These large parts and the four huge pillars It seems insignificant in comparison, just like bricks and the Great Wall.

Time is slowly passing, and the 4 huge pillars have been slowly forming in the void. After 30 years, the 4 pillars slowly formed a rectangular frame, which is somewhat similar to a window or door The same structure, each other is very perfect, without a trace of mistakes connected together.

By this time, this huge 'door frame' can be clearly seen in space. Its length exceeds hundreds of millions of kilometers, it is as long as 1 astronomical unit, and its width is also 5000 million kilometers, like a huge door across In the void of the universe.

In order to build this huge gate of time and space, the empire has hollowed out an unknown number of galaxies, digging out planets, asteroids, meteorites, etc. in the galaxies, and all the materials are used to create degenerate materials , and this huge gate of time and space is not solid yet, if it is all solid, it is estimated that a large part of the starry sky in the entire Longju River system will be hollowed out.

The door frame composed of the huge gate of time and space is engraved with complicated lines. Spaceships are testing the entire huge project. If such a huge project is even slightly unqualified, it means countless People's blood is lost in vain.

On this huge gate of time and space, there are 9 huge holes. Each of these 9 huge holes has a diameter of more than 500 million kilometers. All the lines that are depicted seem to be around these 9 huge holes. portrayed.

The huge gate of time and space, the gate of time and space made of degenerate materials, its mass is very huge, the space around it is distorted and folded, and the faint space seems to be unable to bear such a heavy space-time door.

"Finally finished!"

Long Shaofei looked at the huge gate of time and space standing quietly in the void, and heaved a long sigh. Just to build a gate of time and space, the empire concentrated a large part of its power, and it still took 40 years and a lot of money. Wealth can no longer be measured in numbers.

"The next step is to install energy."

Thinking of this, Long Shaofei couldn't help getting excited again. The energy consumed by the gate of time and space is very large, and the traditional energy output can no longer satisfy its huge appetite, so the scientists of the empire thought of the star formation and directly picked the stars Come here and use it as a core source of energy.

In the void not far away, a team is currently flying a star with a mass of 1.5 times the mass of the sun towards the gate of time and space by using the magneto-optical traction technology and the space translation technology.

This team received the task 40 years ago. It is obviously very simple to find a suitable star in the nearby void to serve as the core energy source for the gate of time and space. The most difficult key is to transport the stars to the position where the gate of time and space is.

The mass of the stars is very large, and conventional methods cannot move the stars at all, and moving the stars will easily cause gravitational chaos in the void of the universe, and may cause chaos in the stars in one void, so the work of moving the stars is possible. Not an easy task.

Fortunately, the empire's technology has developed to the present. Although it is difficult to move stars, it is not impossible. Among them, the combination of optical magnetic traction technology and space translation technology can also move stars. The principle of the so-called space translation technology here is actually very simple , think of the space as a plane, when it is necessary to move an object on the plane, exert influence in the corresponding direction, form a slope in this area, and naturally move the above object.

Relying on two technologies to move the stars, but the speed must not be much faster. 40 years have passed, and there is still some distance from the area where the gate of time and space is located.

There are a total of 9 teams like this, and each team has already dragged a huge star towards the direction of the gate of time and space.

These 9 stars are all carefully selected, with a mass about 1.5 times the mass of the sun, and most of them have a lifespan between 40 billion and 60 billion years, and their mass, size, age, and stability are all about the same. .

Time slipped away again, and the void where the Gate of Time and Space was located became brighter. Within the surrounding small void area, 9 stars transported from afar kept emitting endless light, illuminating this void. , as if entering the kingdom of God ruled by light, the light is shining.

"Install Stellar!"

All the conditions are ripe, and Long Shaofei can't wait to carry out the experiment, and began to order the installation of energy power for the gate of time and space.

A team slowly pulls a star towards the huge gate of time and space. The hole reserved on the gate of time and space is used to install the star of the energy river system. The diameter of a hole is 500 million kilometers. The next star is more than enough.

PS: Long wait!
