In the known universe, the fastest speed is the speed of light. The distance that light travels in one year is called one light year.
The Kunpeng's light speed engine can only reach one-tenth of the speed of light. At this speed, if there is no warp engine, it will take at least half a year to set off to the Kuiper Belt.
But with the warp engine, the effect is different.
The warp engine emits gravitational waves, detects the boundary coordinates of the Kuiper Belt, activates space warping, and shortens the original half-light-year distance. It is like a space door. If you enter through this door, you will be a few light-years away from the next door. outside.
Greatly shorten the time spent on the journey.
When the Olive arrived at the target coordinates, everyone was in a daze.
The space warping just now lasted only a few seconds. Everyone felt that their brains were in chaos. This was the first time they had experienced space warping and they were not used to it.
"Are we there? Hey, answer me, Commander, don't be in a daze!"
Mo Jianshu was the most excited and shouted, reminding Zheng Wei to come to his senses quickly.
Zheng Wei tried his best to shake his head, and then he slapped the red button at his hand hard.
The gravity system was restored and everyone's feet landed on the ground again.
Mo Jianshu quickly unbuckled his seat belt without thinking and rushed to the observation room.
"Why is he in such a hurry?"
Chen Tiansheng explained while unbuckling his seat belt:
"Mo Jianshu is responsible for deep space exploration. Whether the warp engine is successful or not is entirely up to him. Now, he is eager to observe the earth."
Ji Xingque looked confused, but he didn't dare to ask, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Chen Tiansheng sensed Ji Xingque's thirst for knowledge and explained while leading the way.
"First of all, you need to know a basic theory. Time is defined by light. Light shines on the earth, is refracted and spreads out. Wherever the light spreads, we can see what happened at that time."
"According to this theory, we can reach one light-year away in a few seconds, and light cannot travel as fast as us. So now when we observe the earth through a telescope, the picture we see is the picture when light traveled here half a year ago."
"Based on the date and distance we saw, we can easily calculate that with this space warp, we can travel several light-years away in one second!"
"Ang, I understand."
Ji Xingque said this, but he still didn't understand it in his heart, but he didn't realize how powerful it was. It felt so noble.
Chen Tiansheng sensed his thoughts and said to himself: Ignorant people are stupid, and they can't even understand what he said. Educational level really determines everything.
A group of people gathered outside the deep space exploration observation room.
Mo Jianshu was in front of the telescope, sometimes observing and sometimes recording, and was so busy that his face turned red.
Chen Tiansheng and others did not affect him and waited patiently outside.
When starting the warp engine for the first time, if you don't try it many times, the effect will be like Chen Tiansheng learning to shrink into an inch for the first time. Getting lost is quite dangerous in the universe.
"I figured it out!"
Mo Jianshu ran out of the observation room excitedly and handed the photos taken by the deep space telescope to Chen Tiansheng.
"Look, chief, this is the Earth half a year ago, this is Mars half a year ago, and this is the image data of what's happening."
Everyone is very interested in watching what happened to them through the perspective of an observer for the first time.
The image data captured was from the Mars base, where Zhao Shiyun went on a killing spree in the Mars mine, and everything that happened at that time was recorded.
"I went and it really worked!"
Everyone was blushing and excited.
Chen Tiansheng left the crowd and backed away slowly.
The God's perspective just now suddenly reminded Chen Tiansheng of the spirit ball.
Perhaps the spirit ball also uses this method to record daily events in the galaxy.
Zheng Wei walked to Chen Tiansheng.
"Chief, since we have arrived at the edge of the solar system, do we need to make the next step?"
"certainly."
Chen Tiansheng recovered his thoughts and solemnly said:
"Now that you're here, let's take a good look at the terrain and look for valuable small celestial bodies in the Kuiper Belt."
Coming to the western boundary of the sun was not a temporary move. Chen Tiansheng had originally planned to start a war outside the solar system.
Keep dark bacteria completely out of the solar system.
The eight major planets in the solar system have almost collected rare resources. If they want to continue to expand, they can only find rare materials in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.
Although the resources in the solar system are scarce, fortunately they have not been over-exploited. Especially the Oort cloud, which has a huge number of asteroids and billions of small celestial bodies, must have countless precious materials.
Therefore, the first thing to do in this exploration is to divide small celestial bodies into three major categories.
The first category, large asteroids, transformed into space fortresses, starship level A.
The second category, asteroids containing precious metals, are fully mined to provide raw materials for starships, starports, and fortresses.
The third category, worthless asteroids and meteorite groups, which can be crushed and destroyed at any time, can be transformed into space mine bombs, which can be triggered and detonated at any time.
The action team members began to operate in batches. Each team flew an E-class spacecraft, broke away from the Kunpeng, and began to explore the huge Kuiper Belt.
"All action teams, listen, your mission is to explore and classify, and label and register every asteroid that has been explored."
After Chen Tiansheng finished conveying the order, he looked at Ji Xingque who was standing by the observation porthole. Standing alone in front of the huge glass window, he looked at the vast Kuiper Belt with great emotion.
Chen Tiansheng walked to him and said softly:
"Shocking, right?"
"Well, I always thought that there were only nine planets in the solar system?"
"It's the eight planets."
Chen Tiansheng promptly corrected him and said:
"Pluto and Neptune were kicked out of the ranks of planets by astronomers. They are not considered planets."
"Ah, Ang."
Ji Xingque lowered his head in shame.
Chen Tiansheng kept saying:
"The boundary of the solar system refers to the location where light can spread. The reason why you thought so before was because with human technology at that time, the existence of the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud could not be observed at all."
"If you look carefully, the Kuiper Belt is like the ring of stars in the solar system. Its diameter range is so large that it takes one light-year to travel at the speed of light."
"Through the Kuiper Belt, the outermost layer is the Oort Cloud. It is like a sphere, wrapping the solar system without any dead ends. It takes 2.5 light-years to pass through the Oort Cloud, and there are trillions of celestial bodies. Extremely huge.”
"The purpose of our coming here is to familiarize ourselves with the terrain in advance and arrange combat positions. After about 2 to 3 years, we can officially fight against the dark invasion. Are you looking forward to it!"
"Do not expect."
Ji Xingque's answer made Chen Tiansheng startled.
"The closer I get to the darkness, the more I understand my own insignificance. Leader, I am very scared. Can we really win? What if we lose? Will the earth's civilization be destroyed?"
"Shut up!"
Chen Tiansheng angrily said:
"You are the staff officer I appointed. It is very dangerous to be timid in order to fight."
Ji Xingque lowered his head and said nothing, but his inner thoughts were still captured by Chen Tiansheng.
He is worried about future wars, just like a moth flying into a flame.
Ji Xingque's true inner thoughts made Chen Tiansheng depressed.
