After listening to the adjutant's report, Chu Bai asked the analysis team: "What do you think?"
The leader of the analysis team thought for a while and discussed quietly with several team members for a few minutes before he spoke:
"Commander-in-Chief, our opinion is that the wormhole is blocked by an asteroid."
"block"
The leader of the analysis team continued to explain: "Man-made wormholes are also celestial bodies, and their gravity is not weak. It is very likely that they will capture passing asteroids and drag some of them into the wormhole."
"Then what do you think we should do now, whether to continue exploring or suspend the plan?" Chu Bai asked.
"The wormhole is blocked by asteroids. This wormhole should be in disrepair. I think we can continue to explore it."
After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Bai nodded.
…
The cockpit of Huo Qubing.
After reading the analysis report and latest order of Frontier 1, Luo Feng immediately ordered Exploration 88 to enter the wormhole again.
The second exploration into the wormhole 88 was not as stressful as the first time.
At a depth of 8,411 meters on the front of the wormhole passage, Exploration 88 was attracted by gravity to the surface of the rock layer, with the head of the spacecraft pressing against the rock layer.
Guo Yong was inside the load-bearing and sustaining cabin. A blue "tentacle" spread out from his left hand, downward from the load-bearing and sustaining cabin, through special pipes in several cabins, and finally extended from the torpedo tube to the rock formation.
superior.
Countless cell robots, operated by Guo Yong, began to use elemental components in rocks to rapidly multiply the body.
The cell robot has more comprehensive resistance than the nanorobot. After testing that the nanorobot could not be used inside the wormhole, the cell robot was launched.
The prepared 1,000 miniature antimatter energy cores followed the cell robot and quickly invaded the rock formation.
Under the gnawing of the cell robot, Guo Yong sensed the situation inside the rock formation.
Well, this is
The cell robot invaded the rock formation near 9367 meters and discovered something abnormal.
Degenerate material, rugby ball-shaped, size 130-271 cm, this thing is so familiar... Guo Yong knew that he must have seen similar things somewhere.
While controlling the cell robot to continue deeper, he started memory recall.
Sure enough, some memory fragments appeared in his mind, and he finally understood why he felt that he had seen it before. This thing had the same shape as the "black hole bomb" of the Nibelon spacecraft.
Then Guo Yong passed through the cell robot and felt that gravity was released from this "big olive".
What is even more surprising is that the spiers on both sides of the "Big Olive" are constantly devouring the surrounding rocks, like a bottomless abyss.
This may be the neutron core star predicted by Chairman Huang. He recorded the relevant data, and then he continued to control the cell robot to move forward.
Four hours later, Guo Yong suddenly opened his eyes. After passing the "Big Olive", his cell robot advanced another 11,367 meters before successfully breaking through the rock formation on the other side.
This situation means that the same wormhole tunnel also exists on the other side.
If his calculations were correct, the wormhole should be centered on the "Big Olive" and have a total length of 36,416 meters.
After carefully touching the rock formation in the channel and confirming that there was only one "big olive", Guo Yong disconnected the cell robot and left the cell robot in the rock formation there.
[Longevity.]
[exist.]
[Some data have been detected, let’s exit the wormhole first.]
[receive.]
The engine rotates 180 degrees, and the reaction force pushes the spacecraft out of the wormhole.
…
Frontier 1.
The analysis team looked at the data sent back by Exploration 88. Team leader Shi Chaolong compared the data from "Big Olive" with the "black hole bomb" discovered on the Nibelon spacecraft.
It was a big discovery to find that the shapes were exactly the same.
"Commander-in-Chief, we have initially determined that the wormhole is blocked by an asteroid. If we want to pass through the wormhole, we must clear the rock formations."
Chu Bai's eyes were slightly thoughtful, but he did not immediately agree to clean up the rock formation: "What do you think of that neutron core star?"
Shi Chaolong hesitated for a moment and explained: "Well... judging from the data, neutron core stars need to continuously absorb matter to generate energy to maintain the stability of the wormhole."
"In this way, the rock formation cannot be completely removed, otherwise unpredictable situations may occur."
"The Commander-in-Chief is right."
The strategy team quickly formulated the next exploration plan, and also fed back the results of the second exploration to Blue Star.
…
The third exploration begins.
This time, the Exploration 88 spacecraft directly excavated part of the rock formation and transported it outside the wormhole. The Suwu took over and pulled it to a distance.
The work of cleaning up the wormhole rock formations took more than half a month. The main reason was that there were too many restrictions inside the wormhole, otherwise the new humans could clear out these rock formations in a few days.
In addition to retaining about 200 meters of rock formations around the neutron core star, the remaining rocks were cleaned up.
Based on the diameter of the wormhole and the diameter of the neutron core star, it is estimated that the channel inside the wormhole can allow four spacecraft with a cross-sectional radius of no more than 700 meters to pass safely.
The restriction flexibility of this channel is pretty good, at least now the New Humanity's capital ships can pass through the wormhole.
The three of them, Guo Yong, who were exhausted physically and mentally, did not immediately start the fourth exploration work after completing the work of cleaning up the rock formations.
They rescheduled the sending date of the email and rested on the spacecraft for two days. In addition, Huo Qubing also provided supplies to Exploration 88.
The time has come to October 3rd.
The fourth exploration operation officially launched.
Inside the cockpit of Exploration 88, Guo Yong and the other two men, who had rested for two days, drove the spaceship to the other side of the wormhole with nervousness.
The wormhole tunnel is only 36,416 meters long. Although Exploration 88 needs to pay attention to the gravity of the neutron core star, the speed is still not too slow.
It only took 8 minutes to reach the universe on the other side of the wormhole.
As soon as the spaceship rushed out of the wormhole.
Guo Yong cautiously ordered: "Level 1 alert."
The spacecraft immediately braked, adjusted its engines, and was ready to return to the solar system through the wormhole.
Passive signal receiving equipment is receiving surrounding gravitational waves, neutrinos, and electromagnetic waves.
Lin Zhonghua did not activate the active detection system first. After all, active detection is easily detected by alien civilizations.
The spacecraft's supercomputer is operating at full capacity, trying to find some gravitational waves, neutrinos or electromagnetic waves with traces of "artificial" editing among the chaotic signals in the universe.
After entering a state of silence for an hour, they only obtained an unfamiliar star coordinate map.
"Report, the surrounding star map data is temporarily unavailable in the database."
Guo Yong thought for a while and asked: "Is there any sign of human editing?"
"Not detected yet." Lin Zhonghua replied calmly.
"Enable active detection system."
"yes."
Streams of neutrinos and gravitational waves rippled in all directions.
Asteroids, dwarf planets, and planets appear on the star map one after another.
Coupled with the data from passive detectors, they have determined that Exploration 88 is at the edge of a star system at this time, an area similar to the Kuiper Belt in the solar system.
This star system is different from the solar system. It is a common binary star system in the universe.
As for whether there are aliens, further in-depth exploration is needed.
