Chapter 240 Exploration Ship
"Rescue is needed, time is flowing turbulently, and the position cannot be calculated. The signal will continue to be sent. The subjective time number is 42134."
This was a weak signal, but it exploded like thunder in Alex's brain. The movement of the ichthyosaur paused for two seconds, giving the miniature ring frigate in its claws two more seconds to scream.
Composite evolutionary human code, Mandarin content, there are only two people in the entire universe who can send such a signal to Alex. Naominxi should not dare to ask him for help, so the possibility of the signal coming from the underworld is the greatest. The signal keeps coming,
Most of the content is the same, but the "subjective time number sequence" at the end is slightly different. Sometimes the number will be larger, and sometimes it will be smaller.
Through preliminary positioning of the source of the signal, it can be determined that it came from the "side" of the Tiantu Continent. The shape of the Tiantu Continent is unique in the entire universe. It is a regular cuboid. Both positive and negative
The largest surface has rich topography and landforms, and various creatures thrive here. The coordinate positioning method of Tiantu Continent also uses 1 and 2 to distinguish these two surfaces. However, Tiantu Continent also has four relatively relatively small surfaces.
On the small side, there are no special coordinate numbers here - at least Alex has not seen them.
The ichthyosaur sprayed out hot plasma flames, melting the heavenly beings in its hands, and then flew towards the "edge" of the continent. According to the environmental scan, the gravity direction of each surface of the Tiantu continent was vertically downward. This special pattern was completely
It is caused by the gravitational barrier surrounding the entire continent. Where the land turns at the edge of the continent, the gravitational field changes all the time, causing the light to be distorted by it, forming a phenomenon like an aurora. However, the aurora is more like a wavy curtain.
The distorted light of the gravitational field is more like a vortex or a constantly expanding bubble.
The ichthyosaur flew towards this light. The environmental scanning radar thought that the surroundings were calm, and only the readings on the gravitational waves were a bit strange. The gravitational field in front of them was obviously constantly changing, but these changes showed an overall stability when the distance was relatively long.
, only when you are very close can you see obvious fluctuations. The closer the distance, the more violent the fluctuations, and some instantaneous peak changes have even reached the level of tearing space or creating a black hole.
"Slow down!" Alex asked the Ichthyosaur to stop temporarily. No matter how anxious he was, he had to face the danger clearly displayed on the sensor. The gravity parameters in front of him gave him a feeling of familiarity, as if he was separated by a wall.
On the left and right, there is macroscopic classical physics on one side and microscopic quantum mechanics on the other. This metaphor is not accurate. The obvious dividing line does not actually exist. What needs to be changed is actually the key points that need to be paid attention to when observing, not the physical rules.
Some kind of break.
Elementary particles can take care of themselves, and they have been "living well". What makes them "become violent" is actually from macroscopic observation, that is, interference. The gravitational field in front of the Ichthyosaur does not hinder anyone.
, it has always been like this, as long as you stay farther away, it is just a scenery that not many people pay attention to.
As long as it is not disturbed too much, it will never actively seek trouble, but the Ichthyosaurus has such a large volume and mass that even if it tries to tread lightly, it is still an excessive disturbance. Looking at the changes in gravity in front of him, Eric
Si's knowledge is not enough. In fact, not only him, even if the zero-order world comes here, or the earth scientists who built the Shanhe Sheji come here, they will be curious about how all this happened in front of them, and there is no way to figure it out right away.
Understand the principles.
"Launch the detector," Alex said: "First, let's get a communication satellite with environmental scanning function. I'll go to the dock immediately."
Currently, the rescue signal is more important than the Thunder Fire Hammer and the Celestial beings. Of course, Alex will go all out. He quickly came to the dock warehouse, modified the construction plan, and set up a temporary production line, using printing and module assembly technology to quickly
Create an unmanned starship for exploration. To put it bluntly, this is a warp torpedo version of a communication, weather, and reconnaissance satellite. It can be enlarged in size and can also be used as a cargo starship. Various interstellar civilizations have similar designs, and Alex chose it.
The easiest thing to implement in engineering is to build a batch first.
The detector flew out from the mouth of the ichthyosaur and headed towards an unknown destiny. Each detector has its own number, which is broadcast to the outside every once in a while. The content is a digital serial number. The "subjective time digital serial number" from the gravitational anomaly area
"These few words gave Alex a great inspiration. Gravity can change the space environment, and space can cause changes in time. Alex has used similar technical means. The attack of the Thunder Fire Hammer is not a failure.
Is it on the time delay caused by space superposition?
As these "suicide squads" set out on the road, Alex's conjecture was quickly verified. Although the distance into the gravitational anomaly zone was not too far, the time sequence numbers had been misaligned. 6 appeared earlier than 3,
78 also spread to the Ichthyosaurus before 25, which is enough to illustrate the danger ahead.
It’s not all bad news. At least the detectors are working, which shows that each of them has maintained its integrity. When launching, these detectors were specially synchronized, and the orientation and intervals between them were calculated. Overall
They form a standard matrix. After entering the gravitational anomaly area, they will not turn and will only continue to move forward in the direction they were in the previous second. Relying on the initial conditions, plus the numerical serial numbers sent at regular intervals, Alex can
Calculate the positions of this batch of detectors, and then build a mathematical model of the time and space inside.
This is just a rough model. As the detector goes deeper, or as time goes by, the error of the model will increase rapidly. It can be said that after a few minutes, the data received will be useless. Alex immediately
Send a detonation command into the gravitational field. No matter how long it takes for the command to catch up with the detector, as soon as the detector receives it, they will immediately self-destruct to avoid generating interference signals.
A new batch of detectors are being manufactured, and they have the function of counting down to self-destruction. Since it is known that they will encounter abnormal areas of time and space, the new detectors are equipped with several different timing devices. Atomic clocks
, gravity pendulum clock, high-sensitivity gyroscope, slow-release chemical counter, etc. More advanced inertial damping devices are also installed in the detector, but they are only exclusive devices for one of the test chambers. Alex hopes to use more complex experiments
To create enough comparative data, try to optimize the model, and figure out what is going on inside.
A total of ten batches of a thousand detectors were dispatched. Some questions were answered, and new questions were also raised at the same time. Before, they were all independent, flying, and modeled on ordinary starships. Now Eric
Si wants to consider the Ichthyosaur, so a two-kilometer-long detection rod is being built. It completely imitates the settings of the Ichthyosaur, and also has a gravitational barrier device to protect itself. It is now known that the spatiotemporal distribution of the abnormal area is very
Scattered, at least no relatively stable zone has been found that can accommodate the entire volume of the Ichthyosaur. In other words, an aircraft as large as the Ichthyosaur will inevitably be in different states of time and space at the same time. What effect will this have? Can the gravitational barrier block it?
This threat?
The long rod flew out of the ichthyosaur's mouth and rushed towards the abnormal area. There was even a long data line connected behind it to collect information faster. The situation was not bad at the beginning. The gravitational barrier ensured the position of the long rod in front and behind it.
consistency. However, the energy consumption of the gravitational barrier increased rapidly, and eventually exceeded the power limit of the engine it carried.
After the barrier failed, the long pole broke immediately, and was then thrown into pieces into different time and space. The data cable used for connection also collapsed, just like the broken string of a kite.
"Bittersweet." After thinking for a moment, Alex ordered the production line to assemble a special starship. It only had the simplest environmental scanning and signal transmission capabilities, and the rest were all energy engines and gravitational barriers, highlighting a "force
"Big skin". The energy density and shield density of this starship are much greater than that of the Ichthyosaur. Basically, it can be considered as the upper limit of the capacity of the Ichthyosaur to be transformed in this direction. If it cannot withstand it, then there is no need to consider it.
The Ichthyosaurus entered an abnormal area of space and time.
The special starship is still under construction, and Alex has time to sort out the data collected previously. The abnormal area ahead is a brand new topic for everyone, and there is no ready-made theory that can be applied, so the calculations and laws of the model
He can only rely on his own conclusion. Preliminary and rough data analysis shows that the abnormal state of space and time is all over the side of the Tiantu Continent, and warp speed navigation cannot forcefully fly over. The warp speed engine can only transport relatively stable space. The current situation will
Stop the engine.
There is nothing the hyperspace gravity engine can do. This has the same effect as the gravitational barrier over the Tiantu Continent. Although space instability cannot affect the hyperspace gravity engine, instability in the time state can. And Alex has calculated that even if this can be used
In both navigation states, he must also slow down to below the speed of light to receive communications with time serial numbers in order to locate and find the signal source.
The good news is that the shield can ensure the integrity of a starship. That is, the space-time anomaly will regard the starship under the shield as a whole. If you want to change it, change it together. Lose the shield, such as the detection pole.
In any case, abnormal time and space will tear the target apart. Among various shields, only the gravitational barrier can resist the abnormality of time and space, and will not be forcibly deflected, and will not cause the loss of spatial direction and time concepts.
"The only shield that doesn't lead to getting lost."
Alex deeply suspected that his sister and Ming Ming were lost and unable to escape from this abnormal area. The abnormal area did not prevent anyone from leaving. There were no barriers on its borders, but the roads inside it were too complicated and constantly changing.
Even if you stop the thrusters and subjectively want to stay in place, you will be forced to move by the changing space forces. To put it simply, when you are at the edge of the area, you still have a chance to fly out. Once you go deep inside, it is like falling in
Like a swamp, the constant accumulation of displacement will make any navigation ineffective, and you can no longer determine which direction you are flying.
Wouldn't it be better to walk along the ground? Alex sent a detector to conduct special tests. Digging along the ground and underground did greatly reduce the impact of space-time anomalies, but it does not mean that it is completely immune. One of them
A very obvious boundary. As long as the speed is low enough and combined with the ground of the Tiantu Continent closely enough, the space-time anomaly will regard the starship as part of the earth and cannot have any effect on it. So how low is the speed?
The result of the test is that the speed of sound cannot be exceeded, and the acceleration of gravity relative to the ground cannot be less than 1.5 times the Earth's standard. It is simply pressing on the ground and moving forward by plowing.
This method can be used for long-term detection, but it cannot be used for rescue. Don’t forget that once you leave the ground, you will still be transported by space and time is disordered. It is very likely that you will not be able to find the ground in the next second. And the sky and earth
The continent is huge, even from the side, it is far larger than the surface area of an ordinary planet. The way the ground moves cannot meet Alex's actual needs at all.
With the deepening of detection and calculation, Alex discovered that the "root" of the entire Tiantu Continent's gravitational barrier is on the side, that is, these abnormal areas. All barriers have a process of generation, projection, and connection. Tiantu's largest
There are no gravitational barrier launchers on the two planes. At present, the launcher is most likely to be in the abnormal area on the side. Even these sides themselves are launchers. This is why the starship's gravitational barrier can protect itself from being affected.
Reason. But entering the anomaly zone is like walking into the mouth of an erupting volcano. It is a head-to-head contest that extremely tests the strength of the starship's own gravitational barrier.
The "Li Da Pi Hou" starship was completed three days later. Alex spent these 72 hours without sleep, trying to establish a theoretical model of space and time in the abnormal area. This time, whether it was the core module system, artificial intelligence researchers, or
Even though he was a great sage, none of them could help him. He could only cheer him up. But cheering him up could not guarantee success. Alex found that his calculations had been going in circles, just like the abnormal zone itself, which seemed to be moving forward but the end point was uncertain.
He was retreating. He had a feeling that his computing power and time might not be enough. The accumulation of inspiration and breakthroughs could not be accomplished by himself. At present, it seemed that the only way was to try engineering and use his strength to make breakthroughs.
Let's break into the abnormal area with thick numbers and see if we can do miracles with great force.
When humans don't know how to calculate centrifugal force, they can't swing a stick to kill prey; just because they don't know the theory doesn't mean they will fail.
The Lidapihou is shaped like a huge brick, slowly leaving the mouth of the ichthyosaur, and heading towards the anomaly area without hesitation. Its speed is not fast, in order to better collect data. Behind it is a series of three hundred
A small detector, they closely followed the Lidapihou as a comparison experiment group. Some of these detectors were also equipped with gravitational barriers, and some were equipped with double-layer shields to prevent them from being directly torn apart after the gravitational barrier ruptured——
It's better to move than to be torn apart. All shields can be reset, and the gravity barrier can be activated again. This is also a solution that requires experimentation to determine the effect. The Lida Pihou has the same setting, and Alex
Have high hopes for it.
The experimental data was sent back quickly, and everything was in line with Alex's expectations. Various situations occurred in the small detectors in the control group, but the Lidapihou remained unmoved and remained stable so far. Of course
, the signal it sends will encounter space and time changes on the way back, so it will also be out of order when receiving. However, the current degree of out-of-order is much lower than that of the control group. This is because the magnitude of the forced change of the Li Da Pi Hou No.
It's always zero.
The price of this stability is the high energy consumption of the gravitational barrier. All the returned data has energy consumption information. Seeing the value continue to increase, Alex's heart sank. Fortunately, the increase is decreasing.
And it finally stabilized and did not exceed the endurance capacity of the Lidapihouhao.
Chapter completed!
