Chapter 178 Interstellar Journey

"What?" Paco was puzzled, when Rong Yuan said, he suddenly felt his face itchy, touched his face with the tentacles, and there was a blue blood on it.

"Oh." He was stunned for a moment and then said: "I think we are about to reach the space jump point. We have to enter the nutrition cabin, otherwise the gravity of the wormhole can easily tear our bodies apart."

——In the Milky Way, the Interstellar Alliance has discovered and recorded a lot of wormholes, and sometimes there may be more than a dozen large and small around a planet.However, most of the wormholes are very dangerous. Whether living or non-living objects enter them, they will be torn apart in an instant. Some wormholes are full of unknowns, and some exit locations are random. Throwing people into stars or even more dangerous unknown areas Not surprising at all; some people were able to get in and never come out; some occasionally spit out creatures that don't exist in the galaxy at all.Experts who study wormholes believe that some of them can greatly span time, and some may lead to parallel universes or other distant galaxies, but these only exist in speculation.Exploring wormholes is one of the most dangerous tasks. The number of intelligent life sacrificed in the alliance in history exceeds the sum of the current population of the earth.

Among all wormholes, the entrance and exit positions are fixed, the time span is not obvious, and the safety of entry and exit is very small, accounting for only [-]% of all wormholes.This kind of wormhole is called the space jump point.But its danger is always there, only slightly reduced. Therefore, sailing through wormholes has never been accepted by most people. Even in the interstellar age, many people will never leave the planet they were born in.

He said he was going to the nutrition cabin, but Paco didn’t do it right away. He walked into the cockpit and started to set and correct the route—this is why he forcibly woke up in the middle of hibernation. When he was close to the wormhole, Because of the gravitational force, the spacecraft is easily pulled away from the fixed orbit, and the gravitational force near the wormhole is unpredictable, and the change of the spacecraft’s orbit is also unpredictable. The strong electromagnetic field also makes the automatic navigation system of the spacecraft itself susceptible to interference. Therefore, Every time at this time, it needs to be adjusted manually.

After learning that Rong Yuan had little contact with this area of ​​work before.Paco took over this task. This stupid octopus was unexpectedly very reliable at this time. A few tentacles clicked rapidly on the console and even left afterimages. Compared with various complicated data, it just thought for a while Then he began to adjust, the gaze in the small eyes was very serious, Rong Yuan looked at him from the side, and even felt like a different person.

While observing its operation, Rong Yuan stroked his chin to compare with the knowledge in his mind.He has also learned some related content these days. At this time, every movement of Paco is like a line of text flowing in a book in his eyes. He nodded slightly, and some things that he didn't understand before suddenly became clear.Looking at it, Rong Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. The heading angle was 3' less than the safe range he calculated. Don't underestimate the tiny angle of 3'. In the wormhole, the direction may deviate by [-] degrees in an instant. more than.

"Paco, this angle is three points too small." Rong Yuan didn't care that he was actually a novice among the first time to touch the spaceship, and he didn't doubt the problem he found, so he pointed it out directly.

Paco also didn't have the slightest sense of pride or authority as an "expert". He stopped, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the place Rong Yuan pointed out. After a while, he confirmed in cold sweat that Rong Yuan was correct. It is not surprising that the ship crashes and people die in the wormhole when driving in this direction.He admired sincerely: "Rong Yuan, you Lantian people must be the species of wisdom."

He quickly corrected the mistake, and then asked Rong Yuan for his opinion from time to time, and the two worked together to quickly adjust the course of the spaceship.Paco let out a long breath, and said: "It's done! Then the spacecraft will be out of control, and it will be able to enter the space jump point in about half an hour. The gravity will throw it to the next section of the route, and the speed will only Faster and faster. We should enter the nutrition cabin immediately!"

While it was talking, blue blood was dripping, not only flowing from its five sense organs, but even thin blood threads oozing out from its pores, almost turning into a blood octopus.Because of the color difference, it seems that the horror level has been weakened a lot.

Rong Yuan himself also felt very uncomfortable, he felt dizzy, he felt a heavy pressure in his stomach, his body involuntarily tilted to one side, it was very difficult to stand upright, the eyes, nose, eardrums and other fragile organs The alarm was sounded first.However, his condition is much better than that of Paco, at least he hasn't spurted blood yet, and the blood oozed out of Paco stretched straight forward, and stuck to the window with a "slap", making it blue and blue. a large piece of

"You don't look well, how can I help you?" Rong Yuan asked.

"This is normal, I think my skin is a bit too soft." Paco said mockingly, seemingly indifferent to his miserable condition.He knocked down a red button on the console, and all the windows on the outside of the spaceship were immediately covered by metal shells. These metals were tightly connected together, without any gaps at all.The inner wall of the spaceship popped up a lot of elastic belts to fix all the objects that could move, only Rong Yuan and Paco could move in the blink of an eye.

Probably considering this emergency situation, the nutrition cabin and the cockpit were not far away, and the two arrived in the nutrition cabin very quickly.Except for a narrow corridor, there are nutrition cabins densely piled up like a Chinese medicine cabinet to form a wall.In the event of an accident on the spacecraft, these nutrition cabins will be ejected into space like bullets, and at the same time continuously send out indiscriminate and all-round distress signals, and the nutrient solution in the cabin can also maintain the life in them for several years or even decades of dormancy state until rescued or the nutrient solution is exhausted.

Paco quickly opened a cabinet and got in, and the cabinet closed silently.The invisible oppressive force in the air is getting stronger and stronger, Rong Yuan can't even stand still, he even has the feeling that his eyeballs are about to pop out of their sockets, he pulls out a cabinet that is about the same size as himself and lays down, without waiting for him to move , the cabinet snapped shut.

The oppressive force disappeared in an instant, and the body seemed to be so light that it was about to fly, and the complete darkness made people feel drowsy.Then a large amount of semi-liquid and semi-solid substances poured into the nutrition cabin, submerging his whole body, Rong Yuan just struggled a bit, and found that he could still breathe in this substance.It felt a bit like being in a marshmallow ball, but more cozy than that.

He tentatively opened his eyes slowly, as if he had noticed his movement, the bulkhead emitted a faint light, bright enough to illuminate the surroundings, but also very soft, without feeling glaring at all.He was immersed in a milk-like substance, Rong Yuan knew it was a nutrient solution, but he thought this thing would be less...a little more viscous.

He closed his eyes again, and the light on the eyelids slowly disappeared. This kind of darkness and the surrounding nutrient solution would give people a sense of security as if they were in a mother's womb, and they were so comfortable that they wished they would never go out again.In order to alleviate the passengers' discomfort, the nutrition cabin itself has a forced sleep function, and Rong Yuan fell asleep after a few seconds.

His chest moved, and the pea crawled out of it. The hypnotic substance in the nutrient solution seemed to be completely absent for it.Any posture in this nutrition cabin will feel as comfortable as lying on a bed. Pea is sitting cross-legged next to Rong Yuan's head, and it will be responsible for guarding Rong Yuan when he is asleep.

Noah was away, and the optical brain started functioning again.However, the system of this spaceship cannot be easily invaded by giving him an intrusion command, and the two can establish contact only after Rong Yuan configures the system of the spaceship.Pea is also completely unfamiliar with outer space. Even if it has an optical brain, it does not have much use for it. At this time, the guard work is the responsibility it takes on its own initiative. At the same time, it records all the content that can be recorded. I believe that Rongyuan will definitely Interested in taking a look.

And the spaceship, which is fully enclosed like an egg, is rushing towards the wormhole at an increasing speed. When it approaches a certain distance, its speed suddenly accelerates to the point where it is even invisible to the naked eye. Swallowing the spaceship, the silver-gray egg spun in it at a high speed, passed through the entire wormhole almost instantly, and was thrown into the dark universe.After leaving the range of influence of the wormhole, the spacecraft automatically turned on the reverse injection system, slowed down its speed, then confirmed its course, and headed to the next space jump point.

……

After passing through the second wormhole, it is only ten days and a half months away from Biqiu.Compared with the desolation around the earth, this star field is much more lively, and you can always encounter spaceships coming and going several times a day.In order to avoid an own accident like a collision because neither side can see each other, in this kind of area, people will tacitly turn off the optical invisibility and radar shielding of the spacecraft, and when they meet, they will send out a signal to say hello, and they will be unfamiliar with the earth on the highway. It has the same nature as honking the horn when the car crosses.

Even in this interstellar alliance whose technology is countless times more advanced than that of the earth, a spaceship worth more than 200 million merits is not inferior to any of its kind.Its shielding system is enough to prevent itself from being discovered by anyone, and its scanning system found some smuggling spaceships sneaking around the prescribed channel.

The universe is huge. In theory, there are countless channels for spaceships to navigate. However, in reality, most spaceships will travel on the official course, because in such a course, the spaceship can turn off the energy source and use the gravitational force between the planets. Eject and move forward effortlessly.If it is outside the course, the difference in gravity will make the spacecraft gradually deviate from the direction.There is no sense of direction in the universe, up, down, left, right, front, back, and the consequences of getting lost are much more terrifying than on the planet. In order not to lose their way, these smuggling spaceships outside the channel must always turn on the propulsion system, and the energy demand is very considerable.

All the way without talking, when he was about to approach Biqiu, Rong Yuan's spaceship suddenly received a distress signal.
