Half a year later.

A huge fleet from the black hole area quietly swept through deep space under the impetus of antimatter engines.

Several asteroids "coming from afar" came towards the fleet.

Next second.

Before they could touch the starship armor, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Their own inertia, coupled with several twisted gravitational fields, directly tear their fragile bodies apart.

The asteroid that turned into countless debris, drew a graceful arc and slid towards the rear of the fleet.

"Professor, the gravitational influence of black holes has been reduced below the standard value."

The electronic synthesizer sounded in the command center of the Earth.

Lu Yongchang nodded and checked and confirmed the space-time curvature value sent back by the detector.

After confirming that the values ​​had returned to normal, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Attention of all units!"

"Fleet, ready to enter the curvature navigation state!!"

...

The moment the words were finished, the originally quiet command center suddenly became lively.

"The output power of the antimatter engine begins to increase, 20%, 35%..."

"The curvature bubbles begin to generate, the current space-time curvature: 0.167."

This is a space-time distortion caused by the fleet's own mass and gravitational shield.

As the intensity of the curvature bubble gradually increases, the value of space-time curvature begins to fall rapidly.

"Correct, the current space-time curvature is 0, and the curvature bubble is working normally!"

“Prepare to start the curvature engine.”

After the report was completed, He Bilin "pressed" the virtual button in the holographic projection with a serious expression.

"The positive and negative gravitational fields are being generated..."

As Zero's electronic synthesizer sounded, a slight tremor came from the deck beneath his feet.

A faint sense of weightlessness came with a light and soft feeling.

This is a normal situation.

Due to the "old age" of the starship and some devices are relatively backward, some flaws have appeared in the energy supply of antimatter engines.

"This ship is about to enter the curvature navigation state, please prepare for all passengers."

“Curvey navigation countdown: 30, 29, 28…”

A series of bright red countdowns with warnings were presented to everyone along with electronic synthesized sounds.

Lu Yongchang walked carefully and half-wavered to the porthole of the command center.

Unlike conventional driving methods, during curvature navigation, the personnel on the ship do not need to lie in the deep-sea cabin, and can even walk around at will.

During the curvature navigation, the surrounding space and time are wrapped around starships moving.

The starship itself remains relatively still with time and space.

Therefore, the starship entering the curvature state will not feel any acceleration.

Similarly, under the wrapping of curvature bubbles, starships can also avoid the clock slowness and ruler shrinkage effects brought about by special relativity.

Lu Yongchang turned his gaze directly in front of the starship.

The slightly distorted starlight indicates that an extremely powerful gravitational field is being generated in front of the starship!

“…3,2,1!”

"Curvey navigation officially started!"

"The current navigation speed of this ship is: 1.1c."

"In the self-test of the quantum over-distance communication device... the information transmission status is normal."

“Current navigation speed: 2c.”

At the moment when the countdown ended, a faint sense of weightlessness disappeared. Lu Yongchang only felt his body sinking, and his feet stepped on the deck firmly again.

He didn't care about these little details.

At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the scene outside the porthole.

In the state of curvature, the universe outside the porthole presents an extremely strange phenomenon!

As the speed of starships continues to increase, the starlight in front of them gradually becomes stronger!

At the same time, these lights gradually appeared faint blue.

The wavelength of light becomes shorter and moves toward the blue segment of the spectrum, which is the blue shift in the Doppler effect.

This means that these light sources are approaching them quickly!

Or, they are approaching these stars at infinity at extremely fast speeds!

Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked at the rear of the starship.

Unlike the brilliant light curtain in front of the starship, there is a thick black spot!

The starlight can no longer catch up with this wild horse that has broken away!

"Zero, how about the black hole traction ship?"

Lu Yongchang withdrew his gaze full of surprise and turned around and asked.

As the name suggests, the black hole traction ship is to pull the miniature black hole that humans have spent all their efforts on.

As for why you take it to voyage from the stars...

Over time, the "antigraviton" will gradually lose its characteristics and convert it into gravitons again.

Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of the curvature engine, a stable "anti-gravity" mining source is needed.

And micro black holes have become this mine source as the first source.

The way to sail with it... is actually not complicated.

First of all, we need to "hungry and lose weight" this micro black hole.

When its mass and gravitational influence range are reduced to a certain level, it is pulled into the black hole traction ship with the help of a gravitational field.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Similarly, with the help of the internal gravitational field, the black hole, the traction ship and the surrounding space-time are kept relatively still.

The last step is to start the curvature engine so that the micro black hole can also enter the curvature navigation state!

It sounds simple, but when it is actually done, it brings a lot of trouble and difficulties to the human fleet.

Most of the work Lu Yongchang’s work some time ago was also about solving this problem.

Although it has been confirmed that it will not have any accidents after various rigorous calculations and several tests.

But that is a black hole after all.

Even a miniature black hole is still the most powerful celestial body in the universe.

"The black hole traction ship has successfully entered the curvature navigation state."

"The micro black hole is in good condition, and the black hole traction field is in good condition!"

Hearing Zero's response, Lu Yongchang breathed a long sigh, then turned his head and looked at the porthole beside him again.

His eyes flashed with an intoxicated and obsessed look.

Similar to Lu Yongchang, after confirming that all starships had successfully entered the curvature state, each academician stood up from his seat and quickly came to the porthole of the command center.

"Hey hey hey, Lao Cao, tell me how long have you been watching?"

"Give me a seat quickly and show it to me."

Fang Xu's shouting came from not far behind him.

"Go and go, there's nothing good to look at. Isn't the real-time camera screen just placed in the holographic projection? Look at that one too."

"Can that be the same? Besides, there is nothing good to see why you occupy this seat?!"

Fang Xu naturally would not believe the fooling words Cao Liangcai said. His eyebrows stood up and his voice suddenly became louder: "Look, there are so many people waiting to see!"

“…”

“Current navigation speed: 10c.”

Listening to the bustling sounds in the command center, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth.
Chapter completed!
