Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 92 Natural Wormholes (I wish everyone a happy Year of the Monkey!)
This ocean planet is surrounded by two satellites, with moderate gravity, which is especially suitable for the anchoring of large space stations, and it is adjacent to the ocean planet, which also makes it very meaningful to build a large base near these two satellites—at least Xiao Cheng himself is so I thought about it, but Nuwa mysteriously said that there is a secret that I have to wait for him to go in person before I can tell him!

The stargate of the ASQ9257 galaxy is anchored near the fifth planet of the A2 orange dwarf star. To go to the ocean planet, a stargate crossing is required. The distance of thousands of AUs has far exceeded the distance that conventional starships can make autonomous transitions. , So in this ASQ9257 galaxy, two star gates were specially built. Xiao Cheng's "Chu Xin" entered the star gate again after a short pause. observed.

In less than a second, "Chuxin" got out of the star gate again.

Xiao Cheng immediately turned on the scanner, and at the same time, the hull began to accelerate towards the ocean planet.

But then, Xiao Cheng's face changed, and an artificial punctuation was clearly found on the scanner!
"Huh? What's going on?" Xiao Cheng's heart sank. Could it be that someone already got there first?Even the hand stroking Xiao Qi who was sleeping soundly stopped unconsciously, and Xiao Qi moved slightly as if he felt it, and Xiao Chengcai continued to gently stroke its soft gray hair.

Nuwa was also a little strange: "In my database, there should be no one here..."

Xiao Cheng was speechless for a while, and then remembered that Nuwa's information was 300 years behind. Although he was trying to fill in the 300-year gap in various aspects during this period, he only gained a little bit.Especially for this kind of barren star field, the existing information is not complete, and it may not even be as good as the information in Nuwa's hands. Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng can only smile helplessly and say: "Forget about this position here According to the decay cycle of the target, speculate on the establishment period of this target.”

Nu Wa responded, and then gave the answer: "Unfortunately...it was actually established 5 years ago..."

After a pause, he continued: "The location is exactly in the direction leading to the ocean planet, it seems... It coincides with the secret place I originally wanted to tell you... Let's go and have a look."

"...someone has discovered it, so it can't be called a secret..." Xiao Cheng started the jump engine and said, "tell me what it is?"

In order to ensure safety, he chose a place 150km away from the landmark.

Nuwa no longer hesitated and said, "A wormhole?"

"Oh... wormhole..." Xiao Cheng immediately reacted, "What? Wormhole?!"

He understands what a wormhole represents!

"Yes, a wormhole, a natural wormhole." Nu Wa seemed not aware of Xiao Cheng's shock, and said briefly, "At that time, an expedition team composed of robots belonging to the Kingdom of God discovered this wormhole and sent it to It was listed as one of the top secrets, and Su Ya didn't know about it. But at that time, the Kingdom of God hadn't developed this wormhole."

"...This is too explosive!" Xiao Cheng still hadn't come to his senses. All valuable wormholes are the top secrets of every country!He was lucky enough to see the legendary wormhole in person, so he was naturally very excited.

"This wormhole is about the size of three standard galaxies, and it is a constant wormhole." Nuwa said, "That is to say, it is a wormhole that does not expand with the expansion of the main universe. A kind of wormhole that can't be made... you'll know when you go in."

Liu Guang appeared outside the porthole, and the starship left the subspace and began to slow down slowly. Xiao Cheng didn't dare to relax at all, and immediately switched to the conventional engine.

Nuwa said, "Don't be nervous, there is no danger here."

However, Xiao Cheng's eyes were already attracted by the huge distorted space above the landmark, where the light was distorted by the strange gravitational force, forming a space fluctuation phenomenon with a size of hundreds of kilometers like water ripples.

This is the entrance of the wormhole. This is the first time Xiao Cheng has seen it. As for the famous wormhole tourist spots in the interstellar world, he has never visited them.

However, there are no other starships near this wormhole, but since someone has set up this landmark, it is very likely that they are already exploring the wormhole, or left temporarily after leaving the landmark, no matter which possibility, Anyway, this wormhole must have been known, so it doesn't matter for him to go in and explore it.

"I wanted to give you a surprise. This natural wormhole is an excellent place to build a base camp. It is hidden and unknown..." Nuwa said apologetically.

However, Xiao Cheng felt that it was nothing: "It's okay, you haven't found any clues that this wormhole has been discovered in the updated database, which means that the person who discovered this wormhole seems to have found it for some purpose. It’s open to the public, let’s go in and talk about it.”

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Cheng still fired and scrapped the beacon, so that if a starship came to this galaxy by chance, he would not be able to know the secret of this wormhole.

After increasing the engine thrust of "Chuxin" to the maximum, Xiao Cheng discovered a very serious problem - he didn't know how to enter the wormhole...

So, he asked in embarrassment: "That... Nvwa, this, how to enter the wormhole?"

Nu Wa was also a little speechless, but she still said: "... Just go straight there."

Not long after, the hull of the "Chuxin" vibrated slightly, which made Xiao Cheng a little nervous. After all, it was his first time to go through a natural wormhole.

"It's okay, this is a normal phenomenon. This wormhole has not yet established a time-space gate, so the space is not very stable...be patient and pass." Nüwa explained thoughtfully: "In fact, this wormhole is theoretically the same The wormhole passages established are similar, except that one is man-made and the other is natural."

After driving for about 5 minutes, the speed of "Chuxin" gradually returned to zero due to the interference of space. When it was useless no matter how Xiao Cheng controlled the power output, a slight pulling force suddenly appeared, and the "Chuxin" slowly moved forward. pull up.

At this time, the "Chuxin" was located in the center of the wormhole, and the scenery outside the porthole was completely occupied by distorted colorful light. In the next second, the pulling force suddenly increased, and the surrounding light suddenly disappeared.

The shaking of the "Chuxin" disappeared immediately, and the light appeared again.

But almost at the same time, the alarm in the cockpit immediately sounded: "Dense asteroid belt detected! Please choose automatic cruise or manual control immediately!"

Xiao Cheng immediately switched to automatic cruise. Without knowing the surrounding situation, manually controlling the starship is tantamount to courting death.

Through the porthole, Xiao Cheng took a closer look and found that the "Chuxin" was surrounded by dense floating debris. Thanks to the fact that he was driving a frigate that was relatively smaller in size, and had incomparable maneuverability and flexibility, If a cruiser-level starship comes over, they will definitely have a "first close contact" with these meteorites!
Even so, there were still many small stones flying past the hull, but with the energy shield, they naturally couldn't really hurt the hull of the "Chuxin".

"Unlucky..." Nuwa said: "Natural wormholes are not good at this point. The landing point is usually a random position with a radius of 5AU from the exit position. If a two-way space-time gate is established, this situation can be avoided. happened."

"..." Although Xiao Cheng was a little speechless, now is not the time to worry about this problem. All the scanners have been turned on, and he must see if there are any traces of other starships in this galaxy.

Afterwards, he gave up this idea. The asteroid belt he is currently in is actually composed of a very strange piece of unknown material rubble, which caused a lot of interference to the scanner, and he could only make a rough survey of the surrounding tens of kilometers. scanning.

These gravels may have been the product of a planet that failed to condense a few years ago, but the density is still a bit jaw-dropping. If the orbit around this asteroid belt is filled with gravel... then the planet was successfully condensed at the beginning How big should it be? !

Through the gravel, Xiao Cheng could observe a star exuding a dazzling golden light looming in the asteroid belt.

　I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Monkey, happy family, happiness and health!
