    Episode 10 Chapter 11: Star Road

    (PS: There will be more in the evening. After my health is well, my speed of writing and revising manuscripts has increased.)

    Today is already four days after the explosion of the first space jump capsule. Compared with the ordinary and orderly life of the people, the people who know about it at this moment seem to be living in dire straits. There is no punishment more cruel than this. They are on tenterhooks every day.  He was worried, fearing that aliens would rush into the Hope in the next second.

    Fortunately, four days have passed, but the aliens still haven¡¯t taken any action, and the Hope is still quiet. Although the torture of waiting has always existed, this still makes many people breathe a big sigh of relief.

    Early in the morning, Yao Yuan woke up to a knock on the door. He first subconsciously raised his hand to press the power switch beside the bed, but as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly remembered that he was sleeping in the captain's room, so  He sat up directly and said, "Please come in."

    A few seconds later, Wang Guangzheng walked in from the door. He watched Yao Yuanzheng slowly crawling out of the military bed bag, sighed and said, "I'll keep watch tomorrow. You should go back and take a shower and get a good night's sleep."  Sleep."

    Yao Yuan shook his head and said: "No, I will keep watch. I have the ability to foresee and can sense danger in advance, but you can't, so you have to use the self-destruct program as soon as possible. This work must be done by me."

    Wang Guangzheng sighed again and did not refute, but pulled up a chair and sat down and said: "The morning patrol has ended, there is nothing abnormal, the inside of the Hope is still running inertly, and all the energy and equipment are running perfectly.  There is no need to say more about these, except that the external shielding layer is operating normally. As long as the scientific explanation of the creation particle is correct, then I am sure that no information will be transmitted, and you can rest assured."

    Yao Yuan was freshening up in the bathroom in the captain's room. After briefly freshening up, he sat on the captain's chair and said, "Don't you worry about your work? As long as there is no problem, don't let the aliens outside come back.  If we hesitate to move forward, we will end up making some mistake ourselves, and then we will really die unjustly How about Val? Still drowsy? "

    Wang Guangzheng no longer just sighed, he had a sad look on his face, and after a long while he said: "Yes, the prophecy ability has been overused. Although there is no large-scale backlash, I feel drowsy every day, and my body can't detect anything at all.  Something is wrong, alas, this poor little girl, she is probably the one who suffers the most these days.¡±

    The two of them were silent for a while. After a long time, before they could speak, there was another knock on the captain's room door. As Yao Yuan asked to come in, Qi Xiaoniao walked in while yawning.  .

    "I still haven't contacted Zero. Judging from the time, it will take at least ten to fifteen days for her to appear. However, I followed your instructions and stayed up until early morning every day. I was afraid that I would not be there when she appeared, so  I didn't even turn off the computer." Qi Xiaoniao was not polite, found a chair and sat down, yawning as he said.

    Yao Yuan also knew that Qi Xiaoniao had really tried his best, because the zero was so elusive and no one knew where it was now. This was really helpless. However, Yao Yuan did not blame him for this matter, but suddenly  Said: "Since you came here so early, there are some things I want you to check for me Do you think the alien civilization outside the Hope is their destination? Could it be Noah?  Where¡¯s the position of No. 1?¡±

    Qi Xiaoniao was stunned for a moment. He sat upright and said, "Why do you think so? The technological level of this alien civilization outside is at least as high as the fifth industrial revolution. If nothing else, it's  Let¡¯s talk about the galaxy we are currently in. There are so many earth-like planets and gaseous planets, which are a lot of resources. Why can¡¯t their purpose be here?¡±

    Yao Yuan quickly pressed a button on the work desk, and a constellation map suddenly appeared on the wall at the end of the captain's room. The constellation map was the constellation map of the galaxy where the Hope was located and the surrounding galaxies, and  There are also several marked galaxies flashing with red light. This is the possible location of Noah 1 as calculated by the central computer. It is also the final destination of Hope's five consecutive controllable space jumps.

    "Qi Xiaoniao, look, this is the location of Noah 1 that we have speculated so far several possible locations, and you know it, right? In space navigation, the importance of the position of stars can be  It is said that even advanced cosmic civilizations that have reached the Star Gate still rely on the star paths marked by the positions of stars for navigation." Yao Yuan pointed at the constellation map and said.

    Qi Xiaoniao nodded to express his understanding.

    In fact, this part of the content is recorded in the information transmitted by the alien businessmen. It is a detailed description of the cosmic civilization's navigation in the universe.Keep detailed records.

    Human civilization actually knows nothing about this information. After all, the starting point of human civilization is too low. The third industrial revolution has not even broken out of the interior of its own galaxy. To put it more extreme,  It has not even left the range of its own home star, and can only be regarded as a primitive civilization, not even the most basic cosmic civilization, so it is impossible to know the basic knowledge of navigation in the universe.

    You must know that the universe is really too big. Even if you observe distant stars or other stars through various instruments and equipment, it will take decades, hundreds, or thousands of years to get there at the speed of light.  , or even tens of thousands of years, such a size is simply unimaginable for ordinary things, and for cosmic civilization, it is impossible to sail from one location to another, like traveling or walking inside the planet.  As long as the general direction is correct, reaching the destination is just a matter of time, which is completely impossible in the universe. The simplest point is, how do you determine the location of the destination?

    To discuss the location of a location, the first thing you need is actually a reference object. For example, you can say that the apple is on the table, then relative to the apple, the table is a reference object. You can also say that the southeast, northwest, up and down, then relative to these directions,  The earth is a reference object, but what about the universe?  You can't point to a void and say that's a reference, right?  And because of the distance, once the distance exceeds a certain level, other stars except stars are simply unobservable objects. For example, in the universe extremely far away from the earth, the only thing that can be observed is the sun.  Stars and the earth neither emit light nor any obvious radiation. To the universe, it is actually just an invisible stone in the darkness.

    Because of this, to navigate in the universe, the first key point is the route map, and the route map is composed of stars one by one, which are connected to form star roads one after another. For the civilization of the universe,  Generally speaking, navigation can only be from the galaxy where one star is located to the galaxy where another star is located. Such a way of navigation is similar to jumping. It is absolutely impossible to sail from one dark void to another.  In a dark void, the only consequence of this is that this civilization completely loses its direction, and may eventually be annihilated in the dark and cold universe.

    On the other hand, compared to cosmic civilizations that have not mastered curvature navigation technology, it will take almost hundreds of generations of their race to sail from one star to another. For a third-level cosmic civilization that has curvature navigation technology,  The time it takes can be calculated in years, but similarly, the curvature navigation technology is not as perfect as imagined. The most critical point lies in the silent state during navigation.

    Yes, when the curvature navigation is running, the spacecraft inside is completely unable to receive all the information from the surroundings, and cannot even observe the surroundings through light, because the creatures or spaceships inside at this moment are in "super"  The speed of light state, and the transmission limit of information itself is the speed of light. In other words, the spacecraft in this state is purely blind, unless the creation particles are planted in front of it like when the Hope encountered the alien businessman.  , only when it enters the creation particle area can it know that there are creation particles outside, and then can it come out of the curvature navigation state and return to the normal space state. Only then can it be possible to observe everything around it.

    Therefore, it is impossible for a cosmic civilization with curvature navigation technology to go to an extremely distant place across the distance of several stars. This is too dangerous. The most likely option is to sail from the current position to the nearest star, and then return  Through observation and calculation, the deviation data during the voyage is corrected, and then a new round of voyage is started again, and so on until the destination is reached.

    Yao Yuan briefly explained the so-called star path, mainly to Wang Guangzheng next to him, and then he continued: "In the past two days, I have been using the artificial intelligence matrix of the central computer to perform simulation calculations. The calculation is where we are.  The distance and star paths between this galaxy and several surrounding galaxies are very surprising to me The location of this galaxy is not suitable for being a transfer station. It is a bit far away from the surrounding galaxies, except for this one star.  Road" As he spoke, Yao Yuan continued to press something on the table. Soon, the dense stars on the screen began to fade away, and finally a star composed of several stars connected by silver light remained.  The road has come, and at the end of the star road, it is one of several destinations calculated by the central computer. It is a galaxy where Noah 1 may exist!

    Qi Xiaoniao was dumbfounded. After a long time, he said: "In that case, it's not a bad thing for us to encounter this civilization here"

    Wang Guangzheng suddenly said anxiously: "How can it not be a bad thing? We are hovering on the tip of the knife all the time. Maybe in the next second we willgame over!  You know that too, right?  Lao Yao sleeps in the captain's room every day, just to prevent that civilization from breaking into the Hope. He is ready to blow up the Hope at any time!  "

    Yao Yuan stopped Wang Guangzheng from continuing, and he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if the destination of this civilization is really Noah 1then it might not be a bad thing if we delay them here.  , at least using the ruins deception plan to deal with them is better than using our current situation to confront them head-on when saving Noah No. 1"

    "Besides this, I am more worried about another thing."

    Yao Yuan looked at the two of them and said, "We have already encountered a level three cosmic civilization here, so"

    "When we save Noah 1, how many more cosmic civilizations will appear? Are there third-level cosmic civilizations there? Or even more terrifying what about fourth-level cosmic civilizations?"
