A total of ten proton cannons sprayed out a frenzy of protons one after another. The proton cannon itself was developed on the basis of a particle accelerator.
Dayang Group currently does not have the technology to produce particle cannons. Particle cannons are simple to say, but in reality it is not that easy. However, the predecessor of the particle cannon, the proton cannon, has been produced.
The proton cannon technology is not bad, and the power of a single proton itself is also very impressive. At 0.99 times the speed of light, the mass of the proton will expand about eight times (of course, this mass is very small), but such a proton has the ability to shatter atoms.
, thereby destroying the material structure.
It’s just that the number of protons in the proton cannon is too small to form a weapon-level particle density. In addition, the biggest problem with the proton cannon is its range. The protons fired by the proton cannon are charged and easily affected by the environment. In an interstellar environment, most
What is not lacking is various electromagnetic environments.
In fact, the entire Tianyuan galaxy is enveloped within the magnetic field of the sun.
Therefore, if the proton cannon is to be used as a weapon, it has inherent limitations. The particle cannon should emit 'neutrons'! However, it is more technically difficult to accelerate uncharged neutrons.
In addition, the particle cannon is huge, making it almost difficult to research the weapon for the time being.
But as a tool used at close range, the proton cannon is sufficient.
Ten proton cannons were fired, and billions of protons poured out crazily, taking on the form of plasma. Under computer control, they accurately bombarded the crest of the folds ahead.
According to calculations and theoretical derivation, the crests of space-time folds are the most vulnerable.
Sure enough, the attack worked!
Everyone seemed to hear some kind of cracking sound, and then saw a dark crack suddenly appearing in front of them, a piece of empty space where nothing could be seen.
Yes, dark cracks.
In space, it is originally pitch black, with nothing and no light. But at this moment, everyone saw another kind of "pitch black" - here, there are not even basic laws, and there is no time and space. It is really
True 'nothingness'!
But this phenomenon passed in a flash. Time and space itself has a strong ability to heal itself. In other words, this wound caused by humans is like using a needle to prick a 'hole' in the sea - if it can be done.
Time and space are another higher-level ocean. The damage caused by this "wound" caused by humans may not be as great as the impact of the planet's gravity on time and space.
However, although the space-time rift had healed at this time, Ocean Group's technicians measured its healing speed - 3.7 times the speed of light! Therefore, the 'wound' had already healed before the spacecraft approached.
"3.7 times the speed of light?" Feng Songjie nodded, "Do it again. This time tear the space-time rift wider."
A method was found, and the hole torn open this time was twice the size of the previous one. The measured healing speed was as high as 5.6 times the speed of light!
Feng Songjie smiled when he saw the new data, "Before coming here, Huang Mingshan told me that there are only two things in the world that are faster than light. That is time and space. When combined, they are space-time."
Time is elusive and elusive. But space, we can touch it now. To achieve faster-than-light flight, we need to embed the spacecraft in the cracks of time and space, then continuously destroy time and space, and let the healing speed of space and time push us forward."
An engineer suddenly turned his head and said: "Captain, if we continue to destroy time and space, our fastest speed will only be 0.99 times the speed of light. After all, the attack speed of weapons is limited."
Everyone: ...Sounds quite reasonable.
Feng Songjie snorted, "Scientists have already considered this. As long as our spacecraft can be embedded in the cracks in space and time, everything will change."
"But the problem now is that the speed of our spacecraft cannot keep up with the speed of the healing of space-time rifts."
Feng Songjie:......
Sure enough, after trying for more than half a month, the spacecraft could not catch up with the speed of crack healing. No matter what attempts, what methods, and even remote contact with the core scientific researchers of Dayang Group, they could not find a way.
God seems to be mocking stupid humans - he has already thought of a way to deal with you.
However, human wisdom is infinite. Finally, Zhang Xiaoning, who was far away on Tianyuan Star, gave an opinion: Time and space are everywhere. It not only exists outside the spacecraft, but also exists inside the spacecraft! This is completely different from sea water.
Therefore, we don’t need to chase the opened space-time rift. We can directly tear open the space-time rift at a specific location of the spacecraft!
This idea was a brilliant one. So the spacecraft returned from space and began to modify it.
In the summer of Tianyuan 51, the space-time spacecraft set off again. This time, the space-time rift was successfully opened, and the spacecraft and the like were captured by the space-time rift.
Then, something wonderful happened.
Only half of the spacecraft can be seen in space, and the other half disappears directly. However, the people inside the spacecraft come in and out without being affected at all. Looking up from the lower part of the spacecraft, you can see nothing, only the empty space.
Starry sky. It seems as if the lower half of the spacecraft has completely disappeared.
And this state is actually very stable!
At the suggestion of scientists, everyone launched an unmanned detector. Half of the unmanned detector was in the real world, and the other half was hidden by the cracks in space and time. But as soon as the detector was launched, it was torn apart in an instant.
The half of the real world tumbled directly in the void, and the other half hidden in space and time was missing. The incision was extremely smooth, and even the nucleus of the atom was cut open.
Seeing the smooth section of the detector, Feng Songjie and others broke into a cold sweat—they had just wanted to fly like this.
Wiping off a cold sweat, Feng Songjie said with a slight trembling: "It seems that we should not be lazy and continue to bombard the cracks in time and space."
As the proton cannon bombarded the space and time in front of the spacecraft, something even more amazing happened. Space and time began to automatically repair from behind, and this repair process would push the spacecraft forward.
The state of the spacecraft at this time is also a bit strange. In this state, the proton cannon can directly contact space and time. In other words, it should be called a 'grain boundary'!
After the proton cannon stabilizes, the space-time healing speed is 22 times the speed of light - which means that the spacecraft is moving forward at 22 times the speed of light! And after calculations, everyone believes that if the power of the proton cannon is increased, the forward speed can be even faster.
In front of the spacecraft is a proton cannon that keeps roaring. The proton cannon shatters space and time, pushing the spacecraft forward during the healing process. However, the spacecraft's engine has been shut down.
However, after the novelty wore off, everyone started research and now encountered many problems:
First of all, the interior of the spacecraft seems to be unaffected, and various physical rules are still available. As for whether there are changes, strict inspection is required.
Secondly, once an item falls out of the spacecraft, if it falls outside the starry sky, it will be thrown behind by the spacecraft - because the spacecraft is now traveling at super-light speed, so no one knows what state the item will be in when it falls outside.
!
But once an object falls into the space-time grain boundary, it will advance with the grain boundary, and then be melted and swallowed by the grain boundary little by little!
Only a spaceship, half in the crystal boundary and half in the real world, seems to be able to compete with the devouring power of the crystal boundary.
Last but not least, this way of traveling faster than the speed of light causes too much fluctuation. I'm afraid it can be detected from a long distance away!
Fortunately, the current condition is good. Seeing that the spacecraft was in stable condition, Feng Songjie immediately ordered: "Target: Canopus, sixty light-years away!"
Set off!"
The spacecraft advanced rapidly at 22 times the speed of light. It only took two years and more than 200 days to enter the gravitational range of Canopus.
Compared to Tianyuan Star, Canopus actually has two suns, and the size, brightness, and temperature of the two suns are significantly greater than the sun of Tianyuan Galaxy.
Looking at the two stars loving each other from a distance, everyone was a little crazy for a while. The magic of the universe is breathtaking. Especially as the two stars hover, there is actually a small-mass planet that is both in love with each other——
His trajectory is an '8' shaped cat walk!
But before Feng Songjie could express some emotion, the crew member responsible for the investigation exclaimed: "Above, at three o'clock, the fleet was discovered... the fleet was discovered!
