Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 903 The Other End of the Wormhole

According to the living environment data of the Sulfur Stone people, humans placed their planet directly into its habitable orbit, and also considerately pushed the planet to make it revolve around the star, and at the same time adjusted its ecliptic plane angle.

From then on, the lighting conditions of this planet were basically the same as those provided by the Sulfur Stone people, with only some changes in the spectrum of the stars, but it was not a big problem.

As for the problem of planetary rotation, the Sulfur Stone people themselves will do it. The Sulfur Stone people have their own planetary engines, so this is not difficult to do, but it will take a little longer.

After completing their mission, the 300 warships of mankind did not stop, but took off directly and disappeared from the vision of the Sulfur Stone Star people. Because of the application of anti-gravity technology, it did not cause the same impact as the takeoff in the Deep Blue Star civilization.

On the other hand, the leader of the Sulfur Stone civilization also expressed gratitude to the Star Alliance on behalf of the entire civilization. His words of thanks were very sincere, saying that the Star Alliance’s kindness could never be repaid and would be remembered forever.

Humans naturally went along with it and expressed their desire to obtain a set of biosphere samples.

This request seemed very simple to the Sulfur Stone Star Civilization, so they agreed without hesitation. They even thought that they had nothing valuable, so the Star Alliance just casually proposed it in order to avoid feeling guilty.

But humans did not hide anything from them and directly told them the value of biosphere resources and asked them to cherish the biosphere resources of their home planet.

The next thing is simple. The task of collecting biosphere samples will be left to the Sulfur Stone people themselves. Humans will just send a few spaceships to land on the planet and wait to receive them.

Of course, this takes time, especially collecting samples of biosphere resources. It will take the Sulfur Stone people at least ten years to complete it.

Humans are not in a hurry, because the main force is not leaving that star region so quickly anyway.

During this period, the Sulfur Stone people also asked humans many questions about common sense of the universe. Humans packaged up the content that they had previously told the Deep Blue Star civilization and threw it to them, so that they would know that the universe is not full of benevolent civilizations like the Star Alliance.

But that was all. Humans did not give the Sulfur Stone people any help in terms of technology. They just told them the technology or theory corresponding to the level of civilization. But even so, the Sulfur Stone people were grateful.

In general, this time when humans helped the Sulfur Stone people to get the planet to its destination, in addition to obtaining test data of the planetary warp engine, they also gained experience in transporting life-bearing planets and samples of the biosphere resources of the Sulfur Stone civilization.

However, due to the violent push of the planet by the Sulfur Planet civilization when it set sail, many plants and animals on their planet died. This wave of collection is definitely not complete, but it doesn't matter. After all, the biosphere resources this time are equivalent to free, and humans have no regrets.

Overall, everything went well.

After this test, humanity's planetary warp engines can finally be safely installed on future star-class ships.

As for the engines that propel the planets, humans still use the old method from testing, which is to directly combine multiple planetary battleships to save trouble.

After collecting samples of the biosphere on Sulfur Stone, human ships completely disappeared from the sight of the civilization on Sulfur Stone, and scientists naturally returned to the Star Alliance. The reason was that the Star Alliance was ready to leave. Previously, humans wanted to stay here because they were exploring the natural wormhole. Now, humans have not completely understood this natural wormhole, but they have completed the wormhole shuttle test.

Human exploration spacecraft entered from one end of the wormhole and has safely arrived at the other end. After conducting some exploration, it sent the exploration results back.

Humans have discovered that the other end of this natural wormhole actually leads to the Perseus Arm, but not the root of the Perseus Arm, but the end. That is, the location outside the middle of the Perseus Arm. According to the observation data brought back by the probe, the two ends of the natural wormhole are about 9 light-years apart on the macro Milky Way star map.

In other words, this is a natural wormhole that spans the cantilever. As long as the human fleet enters from this end, it can reach the end of the cantilever arm, that is, the outer arm.

It is worth mentioning that if we fly this 9 light-year distance, it will take at least years with the navigation level of human level civilization. But it only takes less than a day to travel through a wormhole, which is truly a cosmic superhighway.

As for why it can reach such a fast speed, humans still don't know it. It involves the operating principle of the wormhole. Perhaps it is a shortcut through the folding of space-time as described by Einstein's Rosen Bridge, or perhaps the wormhole channel shortens the time for some reason.

Humans know that this kind of thing cannot be figured out in a short time, and the top priority now is not to continue exploring natural wormholes, but to update creations, so after some discussion, the new government decided to leave here first. Anyway, the coordinates of this natural wormhole are already known, so they can explore it later.

The resources required for the new flagship are simply too many. It is obviously unrealistic to stay in the starry sky waiting for transport ships to deliver the materials to build it, so naturally it is time to leave.

There is another reason why humans decided to leave: the development of tachyon weapons has been completed.

It was a superluminal weapon with an effective range of up to 3 light years and arrived in an instant.

Humanity's weapons research and development department has tested this weapon and found that once it fires, a target three light years away will be immediately damaged. Its propagation speed is nearly infinite, but it can only reach that far. Once it exceeds the range, the tachyon beam will disappear directly, just like the tachyons used for communication before, as if it has returned to the quantum ocean of the universe itself.

Scientists have discovered that the instantaneous nature of tachyons makes them look nothing like a particle. Instead, they look more like the stimulated boiling of the cosmic quantum ocean, a special quantum phenomenon.

In addition, scientists have discovered that the tachyons used as weapons are not the same as the tachyons used for communications before. The latter have no destructive power and are optically invisible, while the former have extremely strong destructive power and can easily penetrate ordinary strong materials.

The breakdown principle is to destroy the material structure, causing the material to collapse from the strong electromagnetic force structure and then become ordinary material and finally be destroyed.

High-power tachyon weapons can even disintegrate quark materials like high-power matter disintegration rays, but quark materials have more self-healing properties than ordinary strong materials, and their structure is more stable, so if you want to penetrate them, you have to continuously output.

The relationship between spear and shield is not absolute.

In this respect, the tachyon weapon is like a faster-than-light version of a matter-disintegration ray.
