Planet Escape

On the air port of Tianchao Space City, an 82-meter-long, 41-meter-wide, and 27-meter-high space science research spacecraft is docked at the berth and is receiving supplies.

This spaceship is completely a pocket version, but its function is not weaker than that of a large spaceship, but its shape is a bit ugly. The entire spacecraft is divided into three parts. The first part is the command part of the spacecraft, that is, the front cabin, which is semicircular as a whole and equipped with various detection equipment.

The second part is the living cabin in the middle, which is a cylinder with bearings passing through the middle, linking the front and rear parts of the spaceship. Since the spacecraft does not have an artificial gravity device, gravity can only be simulated by means of centrifugal force. After the spacecraft is turned on, the living cabin in the middle starts to rotate, so that the people in the living cabin can walk in it normally.

The third part is the power cabin at the back, which consists of a controllable nuclear fusion reactor and two plasma engines to provide power and electricity for the spacecraft.

"Pay attention to Bai Ze, there are still 5 minutes left before the departure time, check whether the power system, power transmission system, detection system, life support system of the spacecraft...are normal." The Command Center of Tianchao Space City issued to the scientific research spacecraft Bai Ze communication.

"Bai Ze received it. The power system of the spacecraft is normal, and the power transmission system is normal...After the inspection, I request Tiangong to take back the fixing splint." Ye Ming, the pilot of Bai Ze, replied.

"Received by Tiangong, the berth fixing splint is separated from the preparations, and the Baize is ready to start the synchronous operation engine, calculate the speed of Tiangong's autobiography, and control the engine power."

"Received by the Bai Ze. The calculation of the synchronous operation speed is completed, the synchronous engine starts, and begins to separate from the fixed splint."

Berths in Space City. White smoke spewed out from the air outlet of the splint clamping the Bai Ze like two large pliers, the mechanical lock was opened, and the fixed splint slowly opened to both sides. The synchronous engine of the Bai Ze scientific research spacecraft also started to start, spraying flames rhythmically, allowing the Bai Ze scientific research spacecraft to maintain a synchronous rotation with the space city.

"The Bai Ze successfully escaped from Tiangong and is ready to start the engine."

"Tiangong received it and agreed to open it. Good luck."

"Bai Ze received,

The main engine starts. Run at 5% power and start. "

The moment the plasma engine was turned on, the Bai Ze rushed out like a sharp arrow.

"The rotary booster system of the living compartment is activated. The main bearing is operating normally, the engine power has been increased to 20%, the reactor output power is stable, and the engine power has been increased to 40%..."

After the Bai Ze scientific research spacecraft increased its speed again and again, it did not increase the force around the earth's orbit at all, but directly accelerated to get rid of the earth's gravity and flew straight to the destination. The speed increased from 20 kilometers per second at the beginning to 200 kilometers per second before stopping the acceleration. It has been flying at this speed.

According to the current speed of the Bai Ze, it will take about 74 hours to fly to the position of the wormhole 4630 kilometers away from the earth. That is a little over three days. For the past three days, six pilots have operated in two shifts to control the spacecraft. In fact, if there is no accident, there is no need for the pilot to control the spaceship at all, and everything is handled by the computer.

The driver can go to the living cabin from the front cabin to rest. After all, in the case of zero gravity, it is troublesome to go to the toilet.

Three days passed by in a flash. The scientific research spacecraft Bai Ze has also arrived near the wormhole. And slow down to only 500 meters per second, and slowly see the wormhole.

At this time, the scientists on the spacecraft are using instruments and equipment. Close-up detection of wormholes. Any data of wormholes is a valuable asset for human beings. In fact, before the Bai Ze scientific research spacecraft arrived here, scientific research spacecraft from countries such as the United States, Polar Bear, and Eagle Country had already arrived here, but they just wandered around the wormhole and did not dare to enter.

"Academician Wang, why do I feel that this is not a wormhole at all? Theoretically speaking, a wormhole should be a large amount of negative matter to keep the exit open, distorting space under the influence of a super-strong gravitational field, allowing two people far away The location forms a passage under the influence of super-gravity. But the wormhole in front of me, not only cannot be observed by the naked eye, it doesn’t even emit any gravitational force, so it doesn’t look like a wormhole at all.” In the living cabin, a The middle-aged woman said to another middle-aged man.

"Professor Bai, I didn't say it was a wormhole. I always called it a wormhole. That's because a metaphor is needed, just like the name. It can be called a wormhole, or Zhang San Li Si. We don't care whether it is a worm or not. hole problem.

The main problem for us now is to understand it, because we cannot know in a short time how it was formed, nor what it was formed for. So we just need to know what is on the other side, whether we can pass through it smoothly, and whether we are in danger when we pass through it.

Now we only need to know these things, and the rest of the questions can be studied after we return safely, but that's not what we want to do now. Colonel Ye, please launch the No. 6 probe. I have marked the coordinates on the computer. "Academician Wang said to the communicator.

"Received, launch No. 6 probe, coordinate xxx.xx.xx, launch." Ye Ming immediately set the trajectory of the launcher on the computer and pressed the launch button.

An elliptical probe was quickly launched from the front cabin and flew towards the front of the wormhole.

"At a distance of 20,000 kilometers, there is no abnormality in gravity, no abnormality in radiation, and no wormholes can be detected by optical equipment...A distance of 10,000 kilometers, there is no abnormality in gravity, and all data has not changed...A distance of 5,000 kilometers, no change in data...a distance of 500 kilometers ...The distance is 5 kilometers, the gravitational force has changed, the value has climbed, and it is being calculated...beep...the signal disappears."

After the No. 6 probe entered the wormhole, the scientific research spacecraft Bai Ze could no longer receive any information.

"Academician Wang, this is the last photo sent back by the light equipment on the No. 6 probe."

A distorted channel scene was displayed on the computer screen, as if all the scenes were elongated, and from the elongated scenes one after another, it could be seen that this was a channel.

"Colonel Ye, launch the No. 3 detector, the speed will be slowed down by ten times, and the coordinates will remain unchanged." Academician Wang looked at the photo for a while and said to the communicator.

"Understood, the speed is slowed down by ten times, the coordinates remain the same, and the No. 3 probe is launched."

An elliptical probe was launched, but its speed was much slower than the No. 6 probe just now.

Time passed slowly, and the No. 3 probe finally approached the wormhole, only 10 kilometers away from the wormhole.

But at this time, the data transmitted by all the devices on the probe is normal, and the surrounding space is no different from the normal space of the universe. This situation continued until five kilometers away from the wormhole, the gravitational data became disordered again, but before the calculation result was obtained, the signal from the No. 3 probe also disappeared.

"Things are wrong, Academician Wang. This time, the speed of the No. 3 detector is ten times slower than that of the No. 6 detector. Moreover, the No. 3 detector is an optical scene detector, and the light sensitivity and resolution of the No. 6 detector are several hundred." times. But the photos transferred back are no different from the photos just now.

The strangest thing is the speed at which they entered the wormhole. This time, the gravitational data of the wormhole was also not calculated, and the No. 3 probe also disappeared. The speeds of the two detectors are ten times different, how come they become the same when they enter the wormhole. "Professor Bai said suspiciously.

"I'll know if I do another experiment. Colonel Ye, launch the No. 2 detector at the fastest speed without destroying the structure of the detector, and the coordinates will not change." Academician Wang frowned, thinking for a while, As if thinking of something suddenly, he immediately said to the communicator.

This time, the No. 2 probe rushed towards the wormhole like a missile, and disappeared inside the wormhole in less than two minutes.

As a result, the data this time, especially the pictures taken when entering the wormhole, were exactly the same as the pictures taken the previous two times.

"Now I have confirmed that within five kilometers around this wormhole, there is a special physical rule. I don't know how this physical rule is produced. However, this physical rule keeps the speed of objects entering the wormhole constant, and also That is to say, no matter how fast or slow we approach the wormhole, as long as we enter within five kilometers of the wormhole, we will all change to the same speed, and then enter the wormhole at this speed." Academician Wang's eyes flickered Guang Guang, if it wasn't for this mission, he really wanted to study this phenomenon clearly.

"Then what should we do now, should we continue to launch the probe or go directly into the wormhole?" Professor Bai asked.

"Of course it's entering the wormhole. There's nothing you can study outside. Colonel Ye, I'm notified that you are ready to enter the wormhole. Please report. Let's go back to our seats, fasten our seat belts, and prepare to enter. Wormhole." Academician Wang said excitedly.

Half an hour later, the scientific research spacecraft Bai Ze plunged into the wormhole under the disbelieving eyes of the detectors and spacecraft controllers from various countries. (to be continued)
