Chapter 990: Wormholes and Hyperspace Channels
In the current scientific cognition of human beings, wormholes are considered to be space tunnels connecting two distant time and space, just like the vortex in the sea.
These space-time vortices are caused by various factors such as star rotation, gravity, dark matter, and multidimensional space.
Like the vortex, the wormhole is also unstable.
However, this instability may span a large time span.
For example, a wormhole may only exist for a few thousand years, but on the time scale of the universe, it can be regarded as a type that disappears in an instant.
Wormholes do exist in the universe.
A space rift is essentially a kind of wormhole.
Passing through the space rift, you can go directly from the earth to the beast planet, spanning a distance of a thousand light years.
It is conceivable that wormholes are indeed space tunnels that can travel quickly in the universe.
However, the emergence and disappearance of wormholes are difficult to control.
Where the wormhole will appear and where it will lead is uncertain.
Therefore, detecting wormholes is a very important research field for advanced civilizations.
Stargate is a technology in this field, which is used to stabilize wormholes and achieve the purpose of traveling across galaxies.
The staff department under the Supreme Council of Human Civilization collected and summarized all the information about wormholes through inquiries of Rahu and the Cleaners.
Scientists from various fields in the super technology laboratory gathered together to discuss the research on wormholes.
"Wormholes are indeed an important research direction in the future, but at present, it does not make much sense for humans to start this project." A scientist expressed his opinion.
This view is actually the thinking of most people.
"According to the aggregated information, it is impossible to predict where the wormhole will be generated, and where it will lead to is also unpredictable..."
The scientist continued to explain his point of view: "In the Palesean civilization, they will detect a large number of wormholes, mark them on the star map, and connect the connected wormholes online.
"In this way, lines will be formed on the star map, and they call these lines hyperspace channels.
"This name is easy to understand. Suppose galaxy A has a wormhole leading to galaxy B, and galaxy B has a wormhole leading to galaxy C.
"At this time, if a spaceship wants to go from galaxy A to galaxy C, the fastest way is to take the hyperspace channel.
"First go through the wormhole from galaxy A to reach galaxy B, then go through the wormhole from galaxy B to reach galaxy C.
"And the important hyperspace channel wormhole will be built into a star gate and become the main channel.
"Have you noticed that this is very similar to the railways built by us humans.
"However, in order to truly form a hyperspace channel network, you need to master enough wormholes.
"But we don't have such conditions, so it is difficult to make any profit in a short period of time when studying wormholes and hyperspace channels.
"Research must be carried out, but as a major research project, it is not appropriate."
The astrophysics scientist made it very clear, and in fact, most of the scientists who participated in the meeting understood the reason.
"Actually, the fundamental reason that hinders the establishment of hyperspace channels is still the difficulty of detecting wormholes. This is a huge investment for human beings, but the benefits are extremely low..."
Immediately afterwards, Da Liu took over the topic and expressed their team's opinion: "For example, suppose there is a wormhole in the solar system leading to other star systems, but we don't know where it is.
"Then what should we do? If we want to use this wormhole, we must first find it.
"Suppose humans have the technology to detect wormholes, but the detection distance is only a hundred kilometers.
"Then if you want to find this wormhole, you have to fly a spaceship to every corner of the solar system to find it.
"However, the diameter of the solar system is 4 light years, and at this stage, even if we develop a curvature engine, the fastest sailing speed is only 1% of the speed of light.
"It takes 400 years to travel from one end of the solar system to the other, not to mention that it is impossible to fly at the fastest speed if you want to detect wormholes.
"And that's just one walk along the diameter,
If you want to search every corner of the solar system, it will not be completed in thousands of years.
"Besides, this is still assuming that there are wormholes in the solar system. If there are no wormholes in the solar system, then these labors will not gain anything.
"So, at this stage, human beings have not yet reached the level of civilization required for hyperspace channel technology."
Everyone nodded after listening.
Fang Yuan has actually thought about this problem, knowing that it is impossible to rely on humans to detect wormholes at this stage.
There is only one way to use wormholes to travel across galaxies in a short period of time.
"Have you found any data about wormholes from Rahu and the Cleaner? Is there any data in the spacecraft's computer?"
"The important data in the spaceship's computer was destroyed when the spaceship was breached, so basically we can only get information from Luo Hu and the Cleaner." Zhao Anya spread her hands, expressing her helplessness.
In fact.
This situation was expected early on.
After all, the Palesian civilization and the Carbon-Based Alliance have fought for tens of thousands of years, and conflicts between civilizations have occurred from time to time. Such methods of secrecy must exist.
With the current technological level of human beings, there is no chance to prevent the spaceships of the Palesean civilization from destroying data.
If it weren't for Eve's BUG-class "Mechanical Heart", humans wouldn't even be able to repair the "Counterattack" star destroyer.
"Then get the data from the minds of Luo Hu and the Cleaner, even if you don't know the exact coordinates, there must be a rough location." Fang Yuan said.
"A colleague is already in charge of this matter. I will report after the information is collected." Zhao Anya nodded and agreed.
...
in the afternoon.
Fang Yuan received the wormhole data from Zhao Anya.
These wormhole data are all obtained from Rahu and the cleaners, so the data is not precise coordinate data.
But what kind of wormhole is there in their memory in a certain star system.
Although it is not precise coordinate data, it is enough to have this information.
The next day, Fang Yuan was at the Space Fleet Headquarters, announcing that he would send the Retaliation Star Destroyer to confirm the accuracy of the wormhole information.
"This task will be carried out by the military scientific research team, and I will take charge of it personally." Fang Yuan decided to go in person.
"Will this be bad, if you leave..." Someone expressed concern about this.
After all, Fang Yuan is now the strongest on Earth, and his strength has been tested through actual battles.
On Earth, Qinglong is an existence at the peak of combat power, and no one dares to challenge it.
If the Earth's strongest god of war leaves, it will always be very worrying in case something happens.
Therefore, a high-level official of an allied country expressed concern.
"The locations of these wormholes are equivalent to the hyperspace channels of advanced civilizations. If there is danger, these places are the most dangerous. I will personally take charge of this task, and I will take the counterattack. It won't take long." Fang Yuan Ignored the concerns of these people and made a decision directly.
