I Have A Super USB Drive

"Courageous Advance" is the name of the spacecraft responsible for the jump experiment.

As the spaceship left the port, it soon flew to the designated jump site, ready to start the first jump experiment in human history.

The starting point of this jump experiment is the orbit of the moon, and the end point is the orbit of Mars. At this time, the distance between the two points is about 80 million kilometers. According to the usual acceleration of the spacecraft, it will take about seven days to fly from here to the end point. Time, which is 168 hours.

However, by jumping to subspace and using subspace navigation technology, the distance can be compressed ten thousand times, which means that theoretically, it only takes one second to reach the destination.

Of course, no matter whether the spacecraft is in reality or subspace, there must be a process that needs to be accelerated, so the actual time it takes is definitely more than one second.

At this time, in the space observatory, Chen Chen was silently looking at the data transmitted by the radio telescope. At the same time, the hall was crowded with people, and everyone was solemn, preparing for the upcoming first leap.

"Prepare for the navigation experiment, start subspace navigation in three minutes!"

During the broadcast, a cold electronic sound came, and everyone was even more refreshed, busy at their respective positions, constantly testing the accuracy of the data in front of them.

"The fusion reactor is on!"

"The nuclear fusion reactor has been turned on, the temperature is currently rising, and the output power is stable..."

"The liquid helium cooling system is on!"

"It has been turned on, and the current pressure is stable!"

"The strong magnetic ring starts, and the jump engine starts to warm up!"

Chen Chen nodded secretly, and he raised his head to look at the big screen above his head.

On the big screen, there are dozens of monitoring screens. Those are the pictures sent by the courageous breakthrough spacecraft, but because of the distance, these pictures are slightly delayed.

As early as when humans landed on Mars, the disadvantages of communication signal delays had already begun to emerge. Because of the distance between the two, the signal delay between the Earth and Mars was as much as two to three hundred seconds. If humans go out of the solar system in the future, I am afraid Just one phone call would cost years.

It seems that it is time for quantum information transmission technology to develop vigorously...

Chen Chen thought silently.

This thought flashed through Chen Chen's mind, but at this moment on the screen above his head,

It shows the core goal of this experiment - the jump engine device.

At this time, on the periphery of the engine, three ring-shaped strong magnetic devices are crazily moving around the black sphere in the center, like three blurred afterimages. As they continue to rotate, the black sphere in the center is also spinning continuously. After a while, I don’t know if it is Illusion, Chen Chen felt that the black ball in the center seemed to be gradually changing into a liquid form...

Of course, Chen Chen was familiar with this scene. This scene appeared in the movie. A member of the rescue team came to the jump engine that had turned into liquid, stretched out his hand slightly, and actually put his hand into the ball of black liquid.

It's as if the entire jump engine is turned into a space gate at this moment.

However, I don't know what is behind this door. The member of the rescue team was finally pulled in, and when he came out again, he had become a walking dead without any consciousness.

It's like being absorbed by the other side of the gate...

This is the danger of the subspace. Chen Chen is not ignorant of the danger of the subspace. If he was willing to choose, he would not choose this way of navigating to contact the subspace. But the universe is too vast after all. Any civilization despairs.

If the speed of today's nuclear fusion engine is subtracted from the time required for acceleration, it will take more than half a year to fly out of the solar system.

The diameter of the Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years, which is billions of times that of the solar system. Fly from one side to the other.

Not to mention that the Milky Way is just a grain of sand in the observable universe.

Therefore, conventional flying methods cannot support the rise of civilization. If Chen Chen wants to develop, sooner or later he will need to develop leap engine technology.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Chen's mind, while the cold mechanical voice continued:

"The jump engine has entered a critical value. The current core of the magnetic field is 50 billion atmospheres, and the strong magnetic ring is very stable! Ready to start the jump operation..."

"The jump engine counts down for one minute..."

During the broadcast, the cold electronic sound immediately resounded in every corner of the hall, and at the same time, a low-pitched warning alarm sounded, indicating that the experiment had entered the final stage.

Chen Chen's face was solemn, not only him, but also the atmosphere in the whole hall became dignified in vain. A low and depressing atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone's heart. Everyone was staring at the data stream in front of them, not daring to let down their vigilance for a moment. .

"Thirty-second countdown to start the jump engine and prepare..."

"Count down ten seconds to prepare..."

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"eight!"

...

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"The jump starts!"

As the order was issued, Chen Chen could only see that the jump engine on the screen became brighter and brighter from the darkness at the beginning, and finally turned into a bright light, completely flooding the surveillance camera!

A few seconds later, that is, when the delay correction time also reached the jump, all the monitoring screens flickered for a while, and the courageous breakthrough and the space observatory completely lost contact!

"Missing link!"

The voice echoed, "Checking the jump site, it has been confirmed that the Courageous Breakthrough has not been found, and the spacecraft has confirmed that it has entered subspace!"

Chen Chen's eyes lit up immediately. Since the spaceship disappeared out of thin air instead of exploding, it naturally meant that the spaceship had entered the subspace.

However, this does not mean that it is time to celebrate. Only when the Courageous Expedition reappears in a minute or two, and the location of the appearance is the orbit of Mars, this represents the success of the experiment.

It takes about a minute for the spacecraft to cross the subspace, and it takes about 300 seconds for the Mars orbital signal to be transmitted to the earth. There's a signal from Mars.

For these data, all the researchers are naturally well aware, they began to discuss or chat with each other, waiting for the final data together.

For a while, the atmosphere relaxed a little.

However, as the time passed by every minute and every second, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became dignified. As the expected transition time was getting closer and closer, everyone kept looking at the computer in front of them, waiting for the courageous breakthrough to return information.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Six minutes passed, and the Courageous Breakthrough still did not send back a message, and many people began to look at each other in blank dismay.

Eight minutes passed, and everyone's foreheads were dripping with sweat. It seemed that the deep space of the universe had turned into a ferocious monster with a wide mouth, swallowing the Courageous Advance, but never spit it out again.

Ten minutes later, even Chen Chen frowned and looked at the screen above his head. Could it be that this first leap experiment really failed?

Is subspace really that dangerous?

Just when everyone was beginning to feel disappointed, finally, a series of encrypted signals were received by the radio telescope again, and this signal came from the Courageous Advance!

"It's back!"

In the hall, many researchers shouted excitedly. They wanted to decipher this signal, but the next second they all became astonished because they found that they had lost the authority to decipher the signal.

"what happened?"

"How did I lose my permissions?"

"Is it a system failure?"

Many researchers were in an uproar. After all, they had participated and expected for so long before, and now they can't even check the results of the experiment. Who can bear it?

However, the cold electronic voice on the radio sounded again, "All researchers, please stay where you are and stay calm. This information is the top secret of Blacklight Technology. Please sit where you are and wait for the next order to come."

Following the news, Chen Chen had already left the hall and came to another closed room.

The information sent back was naturally intercepted by Xiao X, and the purpose was not for confidentiality. The researchers here are all members of God's restricted area, and they should not have been kept secret.

And the reason for doing this was because Chen Chen had learned from the past.

When I was on the "Black Hole Surface" plane, the local research institutions were wiped out in an instant because of the information that was sent back, and even the entire earth was eventually destroyed. Of course, Chen Chen didn't dare to expose the information like this.

Therefore, the information had to be investigated by Xiao X first, and only after confirming that there was no problem, did he dare to release it.

"The encrypted signal has been translated and no memetic properties have been found."

At this time, Xiao X's voice came from the headset, and as Chen Chen raised his head, a video appeared on the screen in front of him.

In the video, Chen Chen only saw a huge black hole suddenly appear in front of the Courageous Advance while it was flying, and then the spaceship flew into the black hole.

At the moment of passing through the black hole, the scenery outside the spaceship suddenly changed, from a vast darkness to a world filled with dark red.

Apparently, the world in the subspace is not as empty and pitch-black as the real universe, but red and misty, as if flying in a magnificent nebula, surrounded by granular red mist.

These fogs are churning rhythmically like ocean waves, but the strange thing is that they don't wash in one direction like ocean waves, but constantly hit the hull of the spaceship from all directions...

Even in the mist, one can clearly see colorful light spots. The light spots are not bright, but they are particularly conspicuous in the misty blood-red mist. At a glance, they are like mist. The fireflies in the sky flickered and extinguished, constantly surging with the mist.

"What's this?"

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and silently watched the scenery.

The scene sent back from the spaceship was very strange. Chen Chen didn't know how it was different from the subspace he had been to before, because when he entered the subspace before, he only opened his eyes once, and when he opened his eyes that time, he immediately saw surroundings. Countless twisted shadows.

Then Chen Chen gouged out his own eyes.

Of course, when watching these videos, Chen Chen naturally didn't need to poach his eyes, but with this video alone, he couldn't figure out whether the scene on the screen was the subspace he had been to.

Just when Chen Chen was a little confused, the spaceship seemed to be gradually moving away from the blood-colored fog area. As the bow of the ship broke through the last fog, the camera lens in front of Chen Chen suddenly widened, and an extremely vast and strange space completely appeared in front of Chen Chen's eyes!

It is still a dark red world, but in this endless red, a trace of strange black air flow is constantly blowing through the shell of the Courageous Advance. These black air currents continue to condense and transform, as if they have their own life. As it brushed against the shell of the spaceship, the armor of the Valiant Breakthrough also showed signs of aging and decay...

Even, Chen Chen saw a black air flow passing by in front of the camera. At the moment of passing, Chen Chen's pupils shrank, and he immediately said, "Pause!"

Following Chen Chen's order, the images recorded by the spaceship stopped immediately.

"Go back a few frames."

Chen Chen continued to give orders, and then the black airflow in front of the camera re-condensed, seemingly turning into two strange black eyes.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chen felt a chill in his heart.

Then, the video continued to show until it was completely over for three minutes. During these three minutes, Chen Chen saw scenes that he had never seen before in his entire life, those frantic blood-colored mist, those strange-colored firefly spots, and these endless The black air current...

For a moment, Chen Chen felt as if he had fallen into a deep and strange dream. There were incomprehensible grotesques in front of him, and he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or waking up...

"The Armor of the Valiant Dash appears to be slightly corroded."

Little X's voice continued, and she showed the spaceship's data bit by bit in front of Chen Chen, "Other than that, everything is normal, even the five black knights as passengers are normal, and their physical characteristics have not changed in any way."

"The armor of the Valiant Breakthrough has been corroded?"

Chen Chen was taken aback for a moment. The Bravery Dash was already made of the best quality aerospace metal, and there would be no problems even if it sailed in space for tens of thousands of years. Corrosion?

If this speed is followed, won't it take a few days to sail, and the outer shell of the spaceship will be corroded?

Thinking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help frowning. It seems that in order to navigate in subspace in the future, a new type of material may need to be invented.

"Although it seems that there is no abnormality in the courageous breakthrough, don't forget the plot of "The Surface of the Black Hole". It should be tested, and it still needs to be tested."

Chen Chen folded his arms and mused, "The next task will be much easier. Let's send Delta-level experimenters, put them in spacesuits, and send them to Mars through the 'Watcher's Teleportation Pile', and send them to Mars." Inside the Courageous Breakthrough."

"clear."

Little X replied that she also understood Chen Chen's caution. After all, the black knight was not a normal person. Perhaps some strange reactions in the subspace would not affect the black knight, but it did not mean that it would not affect ordinary people.

So it was in line with Chen Chen's idea to let this group of people enter the spaceship to experience it for themselves.

The experiment will only be considered a success if those Delta-class experimenters also survive a warp voyage without injury...
