energy?

Energy is a very general concept.

People have given many definitions to energy, for example, energy is a measure of the possible changes in the space-time distribution of mass, or it is a measure of the transformation of matter motion, or it is a measure of the ability of an object to do work, etc.Even in the interstellar era, although people frequently use the concept of energy, no one can really clarify what it is, what its essence is, and what its source is.This is something that is both familiar and strange to everyone.

Time has energy, space has energy, light has energy, ocean waves, air, heat, nuclear, flowing water, radiation, electromagnetism, etc. all have energy, invisible fields also have energy, and all objects have energy, even a sesame seed, and— —According to the mass-energy equation—the value of its energy is still extremely terrifying.

Energy is everywhere, but the specific value of energy is relative.For example, potential energy, if a stone is placed at a certain position in the air, you can say that its potential energy is zero; if you look at it from another position, this value suddenly becomes 100; if you change another position, its potential energy may become A thousand times more than before.But the stone is still a stone, it has not been moved, and no strange changes have taken place, but for people in different positions, the energy it possesses is very different.

After Pea said that the light that Rongyuan's eyes saw was actually energy, he thought a lot in a flash.Then he realized that what he saw was only relatively active energy, such as a cup and a drop of water, in his eyes they were still the same, and there was no obvious difference due to the difference in quality.It can be said that the abilities possessed by his eyes at this time are still relatively superficial, as if the merits and virtues in the past are just a series of numbers in his eyes, and they only show certain characteristics on the surface.

But even so, the world in his eyes is very different.

In the void, a flower bloomed.

Countless rays of light gather together, and the distance between each other cannot be distinguished. The wonderful colors change. When they converge to the middle, they all show only one color, that is, the faintly blue incandescent light. Go, like a silently burning flame, quiet and beautiful.It is unimaginable how drastic and destructive changes are going on in it.

Rong Yuan knows what it is without looking at the star map.

That's a wormhole.

Moreover, it is an extremely rare and stable space jumping point that is not recorded in the star chart records of the Star Alliance.

This is the Dark Star Field, and the exploration ships of the Star Alliance have not yet explored here.Because exploring the unknown star field is currently the most dangerous profession with the highest death rate in the universe, not one of them.Especially wormholes, among the 1 discovered wormholes, the number of wormholes that allow explorers to return safely may be less than one.People feel that the star field they have mastered is large enough, and the resources they have are enough to meet everyone's needs for tens of thousands of years, so there is no need to carry out such dangerous exploration.Therefore, the pace of interstellar exploration has gradually slowed down or even stagnated in recent years.However, if someone finds such a stable wormhole with enough range for starships to enter and exit, report it to the Star Alliance, and even get a habitable star or resource star as a reward.

The reason why Rong Yuan knows about this wormhole is because, 50 years ago, he once drove a dilapidated spaceship and passed through it with a narrow escape.

At that time, he didn't have the eyes he has now, and he didn't know that this was a wormhole that could connect to the Landia Empire.When the spaceship that was almost falling apart was stumbled and spit out by the wormhole, he didn't know where he was, nor how much time had passed, but he was too tired to speak for himself to survive again.

Thinking of the past days when he longed for death but was never favored by the god of death, Rong Yuan lowered his eyes and was no longer fascinated by the dazzling scenery.

Wan Dou seemed to have sensed something, looked up at him, and called softly, as if afraid of alarming him, "Rong Yuan..."

The slender eyelashes trembled, Rong Yuan looked down at it, his eyes were as gentle as ever, he touched its back lightly, and said: "It's okay...Alpha, inform Xiaohu and the others that the spaceship is about to make a space jump. They all went to the hibernation pod."

"Yes." Alpha replied.Since boarding the spaceship, it has taken over the control system of the spaceship, so it can be said that the entire spaceship is its avatar.

"Space jump?" Lore said after hearing the announcement from the spacecraft, "So, there is a space jump point in front of the route? Semilian, have you heard of it?"

Semilian shook his head and said: "The star field near here is dark in the alliance's star map, and I don't know about it."

Luo Er thought for a while, shook his head, and didn't pursue further.

Several people rushed into the dormant cabin before the countdown ended, but Rong Yuan stood in front of the porthole, watching the huge flower getting closer.When the spacecraft approached the wormhole, under the strong gravitational force, the hull was attracted like moths to a flame.At this time, even if there is no power to propel, the speed of the spaceship will become faster and faster, until the light in Rong Yuan's eyes becomes blurred, slender lines like silk, and the whole world seems to become two-dimensional .

As if after many years, and as if it was only a moment, the spaceship passed through the wormhole and appeared in a strange star field.

“校正时间……时间校正完毕。穿越虫洞用时：六年45天七小时零五分。校正位置……位置校正完毕。目前所处位置：银河系第二旋臂，G2V8、D3003、S3L17。”阿尔法道。

Strong gravity will not only distort space, but also distort time. The time flow rate of wormholes is completely different from that of the outside world.Therefore, when using wormholes to travel, not only travel through space, but also travel through time.The time difference between the two sides of the wormhole commonly used by the Interstellar Alliance generally ranges from a few days to several months, but there are also some wormholes where the time difference between the two sides can reach tens or even hundreds of years.

As for the wormhole that Rong Yuan chose, although it feels like it was just a moment, it has actually been more than six years.

The detail of the star map stored by Alpha is among the best in the entire interstellar alliance, but it only records the positions of some stars in the nearby star field, but does not have more detailed information.Rong Yuan manually adjusted the course, but it would take at least seven or eight years to actually reach the destination, so he also entered the dormant cabin and handed over the rest of the affairs to Alpha.

A lonely spaceship in this dark universe turned its bow and headed towards an imperceptible spot of light in an extremely distant place.

Si Mu straightened his hair in front of the mirror, pinched a mischievous strand of hair with his hands, and let it bend into a satisfactory arc, then he showed a bright smile at the handsome young man in the mirror, held it with his hands With a slight effort on the wall, the whole person floated out.He walked out of the bedroom, grabbed the handles on the four walls, walked around several narrow corridors, and reached the largest room in the spaceship.

The room is surrounded by odds and ends, such as green plants spreading their leaves in transparent biospheres, chameleons crawling around, spiders spinning webs, small pots of flowers, and test tubes containing unknown liquids. , different shapes of equipment, and even a half-person-high fish tank with a few fish and small jellyfish and so on.There is a window on one wall of the room that occupies a third of the wall. Outside the window, a huge star with yellow and white stripes is approaching.

Si Mu floated in the air, turned around in the room, carefully checked whether all the items in the room were fixed properly, focused on checking the plants, animals and insects in the ecological ball, and greeted them one by one.

"Mary, you are so beautiful today, do you need me to water you a little more? ... Your little feet are still so lively. Daddy loves you the most... Ah, my baby, are you pregnant? Don't worry, I will take good care of you... Big man, it's dawn, it's time to get up... Red girl, you still have to behave well today..."

Seeing that the beloved little ones are in good condition as always, Si Mu nodded with satisfaction, floated to the wall, and turned on a black camera fixed on the wall. At the same time, a square screen under the camera flickered, and Si Mu face appeared on it.

"Hi everyone, I'm your dear space experimenter Si Mu. Today is the 430th day of our space voyage, and also the 430th day of our live broadcast. I have already announced to you three days ago, Today is a special day! Because our spaceship will pass by the fifth planet of the Mingyang Galaxy—Hudan Star!"

At this time, apart from Si Mu's big face, several lines of words appeared one after another on the screen:

【Good morning, Si Mu. 】

[Are you going to pass Hudan Star today? 】

[Do you want to do any experiments? 】

The spaceship that Si Mu is on is the No.13 spaceship experiment in Xiji Prefecture.The spaceship will not only observe several major planets in the Mingyang galaxy up close, but also conduct some space experiments.The mission of Si Mu, the only astronaut on the spacecraft, is to take care of these animals and plants undergoing experiments, and at the same time broadcast the whole process to the audience on Zhongwu Planet.Because of the distance, the live broadcast signal will always be delayed.

He glanced at the audience comment barrage on the screen, and said with a smile: "We don't do experiments today, our main task is to observe Hudan star up close. Hudan star is the fifth planet in our Mingyang galaxy. Its volume is 67 times that of Zhongwu star, its mass is [-] times that of Zhongwu star, and its rotation speed is..."

Si Mu pointed the camera at the huge celestial body outside the window, and at the same time read the information he had already memorized. While talking, he suddenly found that the comments on the screen suddenly appeared like a blowout, and they all said the same thing:

[Look behind you! 】

[Look behind you! 】

[Look behind you! 】

The dense mahjong barrage that almost completely blocks the entire screen seems to indicate the anxious and shocking mood of the audience.Si Mu raised his brows in surprise. It wasn't the first time he sailed in a spaceship, nor was it the first time he approached Hudan Star, so his curiosity about this planet was not as strong as the audience.But since so many people are urging, he still turned around in a good manner——

A huge spaceship with a firebird full of exotic beauty painted on it, like a spaceship beyond the technological level of the times, slowly passed by the window...
