Scholar's Advanced Technological System-Chapter 1604: Arrived!

Chapter 1604: Arrived!

Liu Zhengyi swore that…

As an adjutant of the Qinling, he had served in the First Fleet for many years, and he had been on all kinds of starships, large and small, with a flight time of nearly 10,000 hours.

However, in the past nearly 10,000 hours of flying time, he couldn’t think of an hour, or even a minute, more surprising than what he was experiencing right now.

As the order was issued, the reactors’ output power rose rapidly from MW to GW, and the power output of the plasma engine also reached its limit. The Z particle positive oscillation device installed at the front of the starship also released its force field.

At first, they didn’t feel anything unnatural, that was until the space outside the porthole of the bridge began to twist, the stars embedded in the long cold night began to gradually elongate, turning from shining lines as they converged towards the space in front of the starship.

It was almost like…

The universe in front of them was collapsing.

“The magnetic field of the reactor fluctuates drastically, and the concentration of high-energy particle rays around the starship is increasing sharply!” The staff sitting in front of the console gulped. He nervously looked back at Captain Deng Yuanshu, who was standing inside the bridge, and said, “Captain…”

With an indifferent look on his face, Deng Yuanshu looked away from the strange scene outside the porthole and looked at Lu Zhou next to him.

“Is this situation in your expectation?”

“If you are referring to the hyperspace channel, then it did open as I expected.” Lu Zhou stared intently at the twisted universe outside the porthole, as if afraid to miss any detail. He spoke with a hint of excitement as he continued, “As for what the world behind the channel is like, I’m afraid I won’t know until we get in!”

Don’t know until we get in…

Hearing Lu Zhou’s answer, Captain Deng Yuanshu felt his scalp numb.

However, he was a soldier.

Cooperating with Lu Zhou’s experiment was an order given to him by the higher-ups.

Forget about a hyperspace channel, even if it were a black hole in front of them, he would rush in without hesitation.

He clenched his teeth and spoke.

“Continue the experiment!”

There was a slight tremor from the hull below. It’s as if under the interference of some mysterious force field, it uttered an overwhelming noise.

Deng Yuanshu’s body felt a huge pulling sensation.

The acceleration provided by the plasma engine of the Qinling in cruising mode was low, but he was feeling a load of several Gs.

The sirens in the bridge sounded one after another as the various lights flashed red, indicating that their starship was passing through a dangerous area.

When Deng Yuanshu saw this scene, his mood sank to the bottom of his stomach in an instant.

Just when he was almost ready to be brave, the feeling of the cells in his whole body being torn apart suddenly disappeared.

After piercing through the invisible barrier in the front end of the starship, their starship seemed to have rushed into an unseen space in the universe they were previously familiar with.

This space seemed to be made up of countless fragments. The darkness that could be seen by the naked eye was like a chaotic ocean.

Sailing in this ocean, Captain Deng Yuanshu felt that the cruiser under his seat, named after the Qinling Mountains, was like a leaf of reed floating in a lake, as if a wave could knock it over any second.

“F*ck me…”

He muttered softly while staring at everything outside the porthole intently. Adjutant Liu was sitting nearby with his pupils filled with indescribable shock.

He finally couldn’t help cursing, “Where the f*ck… are we?”

“The hyperspace channel fills the gaps between the surfaces of the universe and the extra dimension beyond n. But unlike the Void, we have never actually entered here, a shortcut to the distant world… I didn’t expect this.”

Lu Zhou stared at everything outside the porthole.

His voice was full of excitement. He seemed to be answering Adjutant Liu’s question and also seemed to be talking to himself.

Captain Deng Yuanshu, who was staring out of the window, was completely baffled.

He couldn’t describe what he saw before his eyes, let alone the shock in his heart at the moment.

At this moment, there was only one thing he wanted to figure out—

“How do we… get out?”

“Don’t worry about this. The channel has been set up. As long as the hyperspace channel remains stable, we will definitely be able to get out.”

“How long do we have to wait—”

Before he could finish, the scenery outside the porthole changed drastically. The starry sky that was originally passing by suddenly stopped, and the front end of Qinling seemed to hit a transparent barrier. The space in front was like a supersonic jet breaking the sound barrier. It became a whirlpool-like vortex.

Before he had time to ask what had happened, the feeling of overbearing G-force struck again, and the pain caused everyone in the bridge to faint.

“The Z particle oscillator itself does not have the ability to tear space… Its principle is to open a hyperspace channel along the direction of the gravitational field by disturbing the gravitational field between two massive stars or planets. When you enter and leave, you will be affected by the disordered gravitational field, so it may be a little painful… Well, maybe more than a little.”

Just as Lu Zhou tried to endure the pain, the scene outside the porthole changed again.

The space suddenly opened up a circle of ripples.

Just like drilling out of the deep sea, the Qinling, which finally broke through the barrier, seemed to have jumped from one world to another.

When they saw the fiery red planet, everyone in the bridge showed a shocked expression.

Especially Captain Deng Yuanshu.

Seeing all this in front of him, his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. With a soft trembling voice, he squeezed out a sentence from his stiff throat.

“We… Is this a success?”

There was silence in the bridge.

The people who were still in shock had forgotten their words.

The voice of the Mars spaceport dispatch center came in the communication channel.

“This is the dispatch center of the Tiangong City Space Station. You have entered controlled airspace. If you need to stop at the port, please follow the prompts to switch orbits… Uh, where did you come from? Our radar did not detect you. ”

The silence in the bridge was finally broken.

The staff sitting in front of the console quickly responded to the dispatchers of the spaceport, explaining that they were performing missions, and communicated with the Lagrange Space Base via the communication repeater of the spaceport. The space base got in touch and reported the good news about the success of the experiment to the higher-ups.

In fact, this experiment was more than a success.

It could even be described as a great victory.

Deng Yuanshu’s fist was clenched and then loosened. He could not describe the excitement in his heart, just as he could not describe the surprise in his heart when he first entered the hyperspace channel…

“5 minutes and 23 seconds, travel distance was 120 million kilometers.”

Glancing at the time on the holographic screen, Lu Zhou looked at Captain Deng, who was standing next to him, with a bright smile on his face.

“Thank you for your trust and cooperation. Our mission was successfully completed. As you can see before your eyes, we have made history!”

“But… I still don’t understand. Why is the speed on the indicator still 30 kilometers per second?” Adjutant Liu, who stared at the control interface for a long time, finally asked about the thing that confused him, “How on earth is this possible?!”

After hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled faintly as he explained the reason to him in terms that were as concise and easy to understand as possible.

“Because our speed is indeed 30 kilometers per second, but this refers to our relative speed when the sun is the reference frame in the classical universe. However, in the non-classical universe, that is, the superspace that I described in the hyperspace theory, the relative speed of the classical universe is not applicable. The speed of our movement in the hyperspace channel and the total time spent depends only on the mass of the material being transported, and the power of the Z particle oscillator itself, or…”

At this point, he paused for a moment.

Looking at Captain Deng Yuanshu, who was baffled, a happy smile appeared on Lu Zhou’s face as he continued, “We should call it a different name.

“For example, how about a warp drive?”

…

While the Lagrange Space Base received the good news from the Qinling, Space Station Venus on geosynchronous orbit also had a panoramic view of this amazing process.

From their perspective, the starship that had been moving towards Mars at a normal speed was like a submarine that suddenly sank into the sea, losing itself from their sight.

At first, Field thought that it was a bug in their observation system that caused the focal length parameter to change and thus lost the track of the Qinling. However, no matter how they recalculated the course and used radar to search, they failed to find the disappeared “Qinling”.

The starship seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

It wasn’t until they reported the strange incident to the North American Space Agency that the whereabouts of the Qinling was clear.

According to the timestamp in the briefing, just five minutes after the Qinling was lost in their field of vision, the North American Alliance spaceport in Mars orbit discovered Qinling.

In that short five minutes, they crossed a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers!

If it weren’t for the frontline observers swearing on their families’ lives that they did not make a mistake in their sightings, the North American Space Agency would never believe that all this was true…
