It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"Professor, this..."

"I am the person in charge of this voyage plan, and I must wait for everyone to hibernate before hibernating..."

"Isn't it?"

He Bilin's voice was getting lower and lower, obviously, he himself didn't really believe the words.

Lu Yongchang: "..."

Seeing Lu Yongchang's meaningful and disdainful eyes, He Bilin hurriedly laughed and turned to leave.

"Professor, you are busy first, I will go first!"

After finishing speaking, He Bilin left the porthole viewing area as if fleeing.

Chapter 661 Blue Shift!

half year later.

Driven by the antimatter engine, a huge fleet from the black hole region quietly skimmed through the deep space.

Several "coming from afar" asteroids are coming to meet the fleet.

next second.

Before they touched the starship armor, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Their own inertia, coupled with several distorted gravitational fields, directly shredded their fragile bodies.

The asteroid, which turned into countless debris, drew a graceful arc and slid towards the rear of the fleet.

"Professor, the gravitational influence of the black hole has been reduced below the standard value."

Electronically synthesized voices sounded in the command center of [Earth].

Lu Yongchang nodded, and checked again to confirm the space-time curvature value returned by the detector.

After confirming that the values ​​had returned to normal, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Attention all units!"

"Fleet, prepare to enter the curvature sailing state!!"

……

The moment the voice fell, the originally quiet command center suddenly became lively.

"The output power of the antimatter engine starts to increase, 20%, 35%..."

"Curvature bubbles start to form, current space-time curvature: 0.167."

This is the space-time distortion phenomenon caused by the fleet's own mass and gravitational shield.

As the curvature bubble strength gradually increases, the space-time curvature value begins to drop rapidly.

"Correction, the current space-time curvature is 0, and the curvature bubble is working normally!"

"Ready to start the curvature engine."

After the report, He Bilin seriously "pressed" the virtual button in the holographic projection.

"The positive and negative gravitational fields are being generated..."

Along with Zero's electronic synthesis sound, there was also a slight tremor from the deck under his feet.

A faint sense of weightlessness followed.

This is normal.

Due to the "old age" of the starship and the backwardness of some devices, there are some flaws in the power supply of the antimatter engine.

"This ship is about to enter a state of curvature navigation, passengers please get ready."

"Curvature sailing countdown: 30,29,28, [-], [-]..."

A string of bright red countdowns with a warning meaning was presented in front of everyone accompanied by electronically synthesized sounds.

Lv Yongchang stepped cautiously, and half-floated, half-walked to the porthole of the command center.

Unlike the conventional driving method, during the curvature navigation, the personnel in the ship do not need to lie in the deep-sea cabin, and can even walk around at will.

In the process of curvature navigation, it is the surrounding time and space that engulfs the starship to move.

And the starship itself remains relatively static with time and space.

Therefore, the starship entering the state of curvature will not feel any acceleration.

In the same way, under the wrapping of the curvature bubble, the starship can also avoid the clock-slowness and scaling effects brought by the special theory of relativity.

Lu Yongchang cast his gaze directly in front of the starship.

The slightly distorted starlight indicates that an extremely powerful gravitational field is being generated in front of the starship!

"...3,2,1!"

"Curvature navigation is officially launched!"

"The ship's current sailing speed: 1.1c."

"The quantum ultra-distance communication device is self-checking... the information transmission status is normal."

"Current sailing speed: 2c."

The moment the countdown ended, the faint sense of weightlessness disappeared, Lu Yongchang only felt his body sink, and his feet stepped on the deck firmly again.

He didn't care about these small details.

At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the scene outside the porthole.

In the state of curvature, the universe outside the porthole presents an extremely strange phenomenon!

As the speed of the starship continues to increase, the starlight ahead is gradually becoming stronger!

At the same time, these rays of light gradually took on a faint blue color.

The wavelength of light is shortened and shifted towards the blue segment of the spectrum, which is the blue shift in the Doppler effect.

This means that these light sources are approaching them very fast!

In other words, they are approaching these infinitely distant stars at an extremely fast speed!

Lu Yongchang turned his head to look behind the starship.

Different from the brilliant light curtain in front of the starship, there is a dense darkness!

Xingguang, it is no longer possible to catch up with this runaway wild horse!

"Zero, what happened to the black hole towing ship?"

Lu Yongchang withdrew his amazed gaze, turned around and asked.

The black hole towing ship, as the name suggests, is used to tow the miniature black hole that humans spent a lot of effort to create.

As for why you want to take it on an interstellar voyage...

Over time, "antigravitons" will gradually lose their properties and transform into gravitons again.

Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the curvature engine, a stable "anti-graviton" mining source is needed.

And the miniature black hole has become the source of this mine without hesitation.

The way to take it on a long voyage... is actually not complicated.

First of all, this miniature black hole needs to be "starved and thin".

When its mass and gravitational influence range are reduced to a certain extent, it is pulled into the black hole towing ship with the help of gravitational field.

Similarly, with the help of the internal gravitational field, the black hole, the towing ship and the surrounding space-time are kept relatively still.

The last step is to activate the curvature engine and let this miniature black hole also enter the state of curvature navigation!

It sounds simple, but when it is actually done, it has brought a lot of trouble and difficulties to the human fleet.

Most of Lu Yongchang's work some time ago was also on solving difficulties in this area.

Although after various rigorous calculations and several experiments, it has almost been determined that there will be no accidents.

But that's a black hole after all.

Even if it is a miniature black hole, its essence is still the most powerful celestial body in the universe.

"The black hole towing ship has successfully entered the state of curvature navigation."

"The micro black hole is currently in good condition, and the black hole traction field is in good condition!"

Hearing Ling's response, Lu Yongchang let out a long sigh of relief, and then turned his head to look at the porthole beside him again.

In his eyes, there was a look of intoxication and obsession.

Similar to Lu Yongchang, after confirming that all starships have successfully entered the state of curvature, every academician stood up from their seats and quickly walked to the porthole of the command center.

"Hey, hey, Lao Cao, how long have you been watching it?"

"Give up a seat and let me have a look."

Fang Xu's yelling came from not far behind.

"Go, go, there's nothing to see. Isn't the real-time video of the camera displayed in the holographic projection? It's the same when you look at it."

"Can that be the same! Besides, there is nothing to see, what are you doing in this seat?!"

Naturally, Fang Xu would not believe the deceitful words in Cao Liangcai's mouth. His eyebrows were erected, and his voice suddenly became louder: "Look, we still have so many people waiting to see!"

"..."

"Current sailing speed: 10c."

Listening to the bustling voices in the command center, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth.

It seems that the development of human civilization has started to go smoothly?

Chapter 662 Kepler 452b!

Although curvature navigation is the first experience for all academicians.

But the almost unchanged scenery outside the window quickly became tiresome.

After the novelty completely disappeared, everyone went into hibernation one by one.

The lights of [Earth] gradually went out, and the original hustle and bustle gradually returned to tranquility.

In the deep universe, under the protection of the curvature bubble, the fleet is speeding towards the first destination at ten times the speed of light.

There, the fleet paused briefly to replenish the almost exhausted antimatter.

Everything is done autonomously by zero-control robots.

According to preset procedures,

Zero will wake up all scientific researchers when it reaches its destination, which is the Kepler 452 star system.

……

The earth calendar is 3605 years.

[Earth] In the dim command center, the azure blue holographic projection lights up again.

[Current distance from target star system: 1 light-year. 】

[The warning distance has been reached, the fleet is exiting the state of curvature navigation...]

……

452 light-years away from the star system Kepler 1.

This is the empty space between star systems.

In the cold and lonely universe, except for the few stars, there are only a few small micro meteorites left.

suddenly.

The calm time and space became violently turbulent.

In the next second, a huge fleet suddenly appeared in this open area.

The group of micro-meteorites located in front of the fleet seemed to have been attacked by some invisible force, and instantly turned into countless fine powders and dissipated into the visible universe.

The turbulent time and space gradually calmed down, the operating state of the fleet gradually stabilized, and the intensity of the gamma rays released by the antimatter engine at the tail also slowly decayed.
