"Bosses, this is Dr. Norton, the leader of the technology group!" Dongyue took a thin middle-aged man to find Qin Lun and Robin on the bridge.
Compared with the young flight officer and crew on the Attack, Dr. Norton may be the oldest of all Ghis. He was wearing a dust-free white scientific research suit, his skin was extremely fair, and his golden hair was pressed against his forehead, making him look a bit sloppy.
Qin Lun stretched out his hand and shook it with the doctor, the tentacles were cold. Norton's body temperature is a little low, and the skin on his hands is still a little shriveled. It is estimated that this guy seldom leaves his laboratory and is a typical tech nerd.
"Hello, Doctor!" Robin smiled gently.
"Two...sirs, Dongyue told me that you want the Attack to jump into the wormhole coordinates calculated by the technology team?" Norton rubbed his hands, looking a little excited.
"Dr. Norton, is there... a problem? It should be possible with the ability of the Attacker, right?" Robin and Qin Lun looked at each other, feeling a bit miscalculated. They don't seem to have considered that the Attack is just a small independent warship. If they can't make a long-distance jump like the Faith, all plans can only stay on paper.
"No, there is no problem... Oh, please forgive me, I am a little excited!" Dr. Norton scratched his scalp and said with a smile, "The capabilities of the Attack can roughly meet your requirements, but there are some things that need to be explained to you in person. Take a moment. Also, personally, oh no, the technology team has an additional request!"
"I think we should find a place to discuss in detail!" Qin Lun glanced at the bridge and found that some crew members were paying attention to the movement here. He immediately gave Robin a wink and took the lead towards the war room.
In the war room, Dr. Norton seemed to calm down a bit, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "In fact, with the attack... or our Githian technology, we can't observe the folded wormhole yet!"
"Doctor, you just said that the Attacker can meet our requirements!" Robin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
"Oh, yes!" Dr. Norton's face was wrinkled, and when he saw the other three people looking at him with burning eyes, he sighed, "Okay, pardon me for being rude! This... based on your knowledge Reserve, I’m afraid it’s hard to understand what I’m going to say next!”
"I think we understand. Please try to explain it in a more common language!" Qin Lun and the three looked at each other dumbfounded. The world of tech geeks is indeed beyond the comprehension of normal people.
"To put it simply, the folded wormhole is a product of four-dimensional space, which does not exist in the three-dimensional world. At present, we Ghis can only use the transition theory to estimate the four-dimensional coordinates, but we cannot capture it on any instrument. Wormhole phenomenon."
Dr. Norton slowly became serious, "Only by entering the correct transition track, can we avoid the space-time storm at the edge of the wormhole and observe the wormhole phenomenon with the naked eye! In other words, this transition is very dangerous, and the technology team cannot 100% accurate coordinates guaranteed."
"What would happen if the coordinates shifted a little?" Robin frowned slightly.
"The same fate as Faith!" Dr. Norton replied without thinking.
"Doctor, since you have come to a conclusion, there should be other ways to improve the accuracy, right?" Qin Lun asked with a smile.
"Yes! In fact, folded wormholes are the same as normal wormholes. The two ends of normal wormholes are connected to black holes and white holes, while folded wormholes also have a swallowing port and an explosive exit." Dr. Norton said After a pause, he said calmly, "And the eruption of the wormhole can transmit information to the outside world."
"I see, doctor, this is related to the request of your technology team, right?" Qin Lun suddenly took a long breath, "Are you sure you want to do this? You must know that the Attack is the only means we have to escape from the wormhole. !"
"Being able to observe a folded wormhole up close is the dream of all Geese astronauts!" Dr. Norton said with a smile, "What's more, we can also send the obtained observation records back to the Attacker in encrypted form!"
"Okay then, I hope everything goes well for you!" Qin Lun took a deep look at Norton and nodded solemnly.
"Chief Qin Lun, what charades are you and Dr. Norton playing..." Looking at Dr. Norton who disappeared at the end of the corridor, Dongyue looked a little confused.
"Dongyue, I suddenly believe that you Gisians will eventually win this war!" Qin Lun patted Dongyue's shoulder with a smile, turned and left alone.
"What is this all about?" The beautiful adjutant was a little mad, and looked at the silent Robin next to her with a look of help.
"Dr. Norton just said that the folded wormhole cannot be observed in the three-dimensional world, and can only be seen with the naked eye inside the wormhole. He cannot guarantee the safety of the attack's transition, but if someone can verify the correctness of the coordinates from inside the wormhole sex… "
"The people in the technology team have to enter the wormhole before the Strike and verify their coordinates!" Dongyue is not an idiot. Halfway through Robin's words, she understood, and her face suddenly became pale and bloodless.
"Well, that's what the doctor meant. Installing an ejection device in the rescue cabin should ensure that they can enter the calculated jump coordinates, but..." Robin sighed, with a complicated expression on his face.
"But the rescue capsule has no power to escape from the wormhole..." Dongyue's face was unpredictable, she finally gritted her teeth, and turned to the bridge, "Dr. Norton and the scholars in the technology group are our most precious wealth. The rest of the crew will do it!"
"Dongyue, wait!" Robin stretched out his hand to grab the beautiful adjutant, and shook his head gently, "The doctor did this after careful consideration, and other people may be able to replace this mission. However, without their knowledge, there is no way." Continue to study folding wormholes inside the wormhole!
The encounter with the Faith proves that your leap technology lags behind your opponents, and Dr. Norton wants to use their sacrifices to catch up with the enemy and prevent other space battleships from falling into similar traps. In addition to respecting their choices, we can only try to leave enough resources for them to survive. "
"How many resources can a rescue capsule hold? Are they left to face death alone in the boundless cosmic wormhole?" Dongyue showed a smile uglier than crying, but still stopped, He glanced dimly at the direction of the technology group.
…
"Sir, I got three sets of coded signals, which belong to Dr. Norton and two other members of the technology team!"
After one stellar day, the Attacker received an appointment message from a scientist in the science and technology group who entered the wormhole coordinates in advance. It's just that the Ghis soldiers on the bridge didn't have any smiles on their faces. They had already learned about the sacrifice of the technology team.
"The accuracy rate is less than 30%. Fortunately, these Geese scientists are brave enough! I hope that we will not encounter this kind of cosmic world in the future. It is really scary, and even the way of death cannot be controlled by ourselves!" Dean muttered in a low voice on the team channel In a word, the apostles, including Qin Lun, had a little awe of the universe during this adventure.
"The only thing we can do is to let these brave people die as worthy as possible!" Balin took a deep breath. The self-sacrifice of Dr. Norton and others made the members of the inspector team feel inexplicable pressure.
…
"Enter the jump coordinates... 3, 2, 1, enter the jump track!"
Everything around the Assault seems to have come to a standstill, a circle of water-like ripples swayed in the starry sky, colorful lights flashed on the surface of the huge independent battleship, and the hull slowly became transparent, given by a tunnel that opened suddenly in front of it. absorbed it.
"Oh, it's so beautiful!" The crew on the bridge suddenly couldn't help admiring.
As soon as it entered the jump orbit, a huge and endless light wheel appeared on the projection screen of the battleship. There is a layer of halo-like rainbow around the light wheel, and folded wormholes like blisters appear in front of everyone in a way that is visible to the naked eye.
"What are those?" Poppy cheered, pointing to the light spiral that looked like a gear in the center of the light wheel.
"It should be other jumpable coordinates connecting the orbit inside the wormhole!" Dean didn't seem to notice the object of the question, and for the first time he didn't speak to Bobby in a sarcastic tone.
"Let the optical brain calculate how long it will take to reach the other side of the wormhole!" Qin Lun asked Dongyue calmly, looking at the beautiful scenery on the projection screen.
"The surveyor reports that it will take a little more than three minutes before we can cross the edge of the wormhole." Dongyue replied cautiously.
"Sir, I received Dr. Norton's signal again. This time it is clearer than before. He should be not far from us!" The Guise crew member looked at Dongyue expectantly.
"We can't change the established route. Folding wormholes exist that even Dr. Norton doesn't fully understand. Completing the mission is more important than rescuing Dr. Dongyue." Dongyue shook her head a little bit unbearably, watching the officer's eyes dim.
"By the way, what did the doctor say this time?" Qin Lun glanced at Dongyue and asked casually.
"Hey, the doctor didn't send the scheduled signal this time. This set of mechanical code information seems to be very long, and it will take a few minutes to decipher!" Dongyue looked at the report in her hand and said doubtfully, "Could it be the observation record about wormholes?" ?”
"No, Dr. Norton said that the flow of time in the wormhole is slower than that of the outside world. Judging from the time they entered, the doctor should have spent less than half an hour here." Qin Lun's face suddenly changed, " This is a warning, the doctor has discovered something that is not good for us! Dongyue, issue a first-level combat warning! Robin, Alex, let everyone get on the mecha, and only the minimum operators are left on the bridge!"
"Boom..." A few minutes later, the apostles and Guise pilots sitting in the soldier mecha felt the violent shock from the outside world, and the entire attack ship seemed to be falling apart.
"Sir, Dr. Norton's signal has been interpreted. This wormhole cannot pass through large non-living matter..." Dongyue almost yelled, transmitting her voice to Qin Lun.
At this time, everyone sitting in the mechs can already see the brilliant light on the other side of the wormhole through the projection screen of the soldiers!
