The Death List Novel - Chapter 571
Chapter 571 Enter A Wormhole
“Sir, this is Dr. Norton, the leader of the Science and Technology Group!” Dong Yue brought a thin middle-aged man to find Qin Lun and Robin on the bridge.
Compared to the young pilots and crew aboard the Attack, Dr. Norton is probably the oldest of all Giese. He wore a dustless white scientific suit, his skin exceptionally fair, and his blonde hair clung to his forehead, making him look a little sloppy.
Qin Lun stretched out his hand and shook the doctor’s hand. His tentacles were cold. Norton’s body temperature was somewhat low, and the skin on his hands was also slightly shrinking. He probably rarely left his research lab, so he was a typical tech otaku.
“Hello, Doctor!” Robin smiled warmly.
“Sir … Dong Yue, tell me, do you want to jump into the wormhole coordinates calculated by the science team?” Norton rubbed his hands, looking a little excited.
“Dr. Norton, is there a problem with this? With the Attack’s ability, it should be possible, right?” Robin and Qin Lun exchanged glances and felt that they had miscalculated. They did not seem to have considered that the Attack was just a small independent warship. If they could not make the long-range jump like the Faith, all of their plans would remain on paper.
“No, no problem … Oh, please forgive me, I’m a little excited!” Dr. Norton scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. “With the Attack’s abilities, you can roughly meet your requirements. However, there are some things that need to be explained to you face to face. Also, as a person of mine, oh no, the Science and Technology Group has an additional request!”
“I think we should find a place to talk in detail!” Qin Lun glanced at the bridge and noticed that some of the crew were paying attention to the commotion. He immediately threw Robin a glance and took the lead towards the combat room.
After arriving at the combat room, Dr. Norton seemed to have calmed down a little. He hesitated for a moment and continued, “In fact, with the Attack … or rather, with our Giese technology, we are unable to observe the folding wormhole!”
“Doctor, you just said that the Attack can meet our requirements!” Robin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
“Oh, yes!” Dr. Norton’s face was wrinkled. Seeing the other three looking at him with burning eyes, he immediately sighed, “Alright, forgive my rudeness! This … with your knowledge reserves, I’m afraid it’s very difficult to understand what I’m going to say next!”
“I think we understand. Please try your best to explain it in a more common language!” Qin Lun and the other two looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The world of the Hi-tech Residence was indeed not something that normal people could understand.
“Simply put, folded wormholes are a product of four dimensions and do not exist in three dimensions. At present, we in Giese can only use transition theory to estimate four-dimensional coordinates, but cannot capture wormhole phenomena on any instrument.”
Dr. Norton slowly became serious. “Only by entering the correct transition trajectory can we avoid the spacetime storms at the edge of the wormhole and observe the wormhole phenomenon with the naked eye! In other words, this transition is extremely dangerous, and the science and technology team cannot guarantee 100% accurate coordinates.”
“If the coordinates shift a little, what will happen?” Robin frowned slightly.
“The same fate as the Faith Number!” Dr. Norton replied without hesitation.
“Doctor, since you’ve come to a conclusion, there should be other ways to increase the accuracy, right?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he asked with a smile.
“Yes! In fact, the folded wormhole is similar to a normal wormhole. The two ends of a normal wormhole are connected to a black hole and a white hole. The folded wormhole also has a devouring port and an explosive outlet.” Dr. Norton paused for a moment and said calmly, “The outburst of the wormhole can transmit information to the outside world.”
“I see, Doctor. This has something to do with the request of your science team, right?” Qin Lun suddenly took a deep breath and said, “Are you sure you want to do this? You must know that the Attack is the only way we have to escape the wormhole!”
“To be able to observe a folded wormhole at close range is the dream of all Keith astronautics!” Dr. Norton smiled and said, “Besides, we can also encrypt the observation records and send them back to the Attack Number!”
“Alright then, I hope everything goes smoothly!” Qin Lun took a deep look at Norton and nodded solemnly.
“Officer Qin Lun, what kind of riddle are you and Dr. Norton playing …” Looking at Dr. Norton who disappeared at the end of the corridor, Dong Yue looked a little confused.
“Dong Yue, I suddenly believe that you Giese will win this war!” Qin Lun smiled and patted Dong Yue’s shoulder before turning around and leaving alone.
“What is this all about?” The beautiful adjutant was a little mad as she looked at Robin who was silent beside her with a pleading face.
‘”Dr. Norton said just now that the three-dimensional world cannot observe a folded wormhole. It can only be seen with the naked eye inside the wormhole. He cannot guarantee the safety of the Attack transition, but if someone can verify the accuracy of the coordinates from inside the wormhole …”
“Those people from the Science and Technology Group need to enter the wormhole before the Attack! Verify their coordinates!” Dong Yue was not an idiot. Halfway through Robin’s words, she understood and her face instantly turned pale without blood.
Robin sighed, his expression a little complicated. “Yes, Doctor, that’s probably what you mean. Installing ejection devices in the life-saving capsule should ensure that they enter the calculated coordinates of the transition.”
Dong Yue’s expression changed unpredictably. She finally gritted her teeth and turned to walk towards the bridge. “But the life-saving capsule doesn’t have the motivation to escape from the wormhole. Dr. Norton and those scholars from the science team are our most precious treasures. This kind of thing can be done by other crew members!”
“Dong Yue, wait!” Robin reached out and grabbed the beautiful adjutant. He shook his head gently, “Doctor, you’ve done this after careful consideration. Other people might be able to take the place of this mission. However, without their knowledge, you can’t continue to study the folding wormhole inside the wormhole!”
Faith’s encounter proved that your transition technology lags behind your opponent, and Dr. Norton wants to use their sacrifices to catch up to the enemy and prevent other universe warships from falling into similar traps. Apart from respecting their choices, we can only try our best to leave them with enough resources to survive. ”
“How many resources can a life-saving pod hold? Are they left to face death alone in the endless wormholes of the universe?” Dong Yue revealed an ugly smile that was even worse than crying. However, she still stopped and looked at the direction of the technology team with a dim gaze.
…
“Sir, we have three sets of cipher signals, belonging to Dr. Norton and two other members of the science team!”
After a Stellar Day, Attack had received an appointment message from the scientific team that had entered the wormhole coordinates earlier. However, there was no smile on the faces of the Keith soldiers on the bridge. They had already learned of the sacrifice of the technology team.
‘”Less than 30% accuracy. Fortunately, these scientists are brave enough! Hopefully, they won’t encounter this kind of universe again in the future. It’s really scary. Even the way they die is out of control!” Dean muttered in a low voice on the guild channel. Apostle, including Qin Lun, had a trace of reverence for space in this adventure.
“The only thing we can do is to make these brave people die as worthwhile as possible!” Bahrain took a deep breath. Dr. Norton and the others had sacrificed themselves, causing the members of the inspectors’ team to feel an inexplicable pressure.
…
“Input transition coordinates … 3, 2, 1, enter transition orbit!”
Everything around the Attack seemed to have come to a halt. A ripple of water rippled through the starry sky. The surface of the huge independent warship flashed with multicolored light. The hull of the ship slowly became transparent and was absorbed by an abruptly blooming tunnel in front of it.
“Oh, so beautiful!” The warship crew on the bridge suddenly couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
As soon as they entered the transition orbit, a gigantic and boundless light wheel appeared on the warship’s projection screen. The light wheel was surrounded by a layer of rainbow-like light, and a folded wormhole that looked like a bubble appeared in front of everyone’s eyes in a visible manner.
“What are those?” Bobby cheerfully pointed at the gear-like spiral of light in the middle of the wheel.
“It should be another trajectory that connects the interior of the wormhole with other transitional coordinates!” Dean didn’t seem to notice the person asking the question and didn’t speak to Bobby in a mocking tone for the first time.
“Let Light Brain calculate how long it will take to reach the other side of the wormhole!” Qin Lun looked at the beautiful scenery on the projection screen and calmly asked Dong Yue.
“The surveyor reports that we’ll be able to cross the edge of the wormhole in about three minutes.” Dong Yue replied cautiously.
“Sir, I’ve received Dr. Norton’s signal again. This time, it’s clearer than before. He should be not far from us!” The Keith crew member looked at Dong Yue expectantly.
“We can’t change the route. Folding wormholes are existences that even Dr. Norton doesn’t fully understand. Completing the mission is more important than rescuing Dr. Norton!” Dong Yue shook her head uncontrollably and looked at the officer with dim eyes.
“Right, what did the doctor say this time?” Qin Lun looked at Dong Yue and asked casually.
“Eh? Doctor didn’t send a signal this time. This set of mechanical code information seems to be very long. It will take a few minutes to decipher it!” Dong Yue looked at the report in her hand and asked doubtfully, “Could it be the observation record of the wormhole?”
“No, Dr. Norton said that the flow of time inside the wormhole is slower than outside. Judging from the time they entered, the doctor should have only spent less than half an hour here.” Qin Lun’s expression suddenly changed. “This is a warning. The Doctor has discovered something that is not good for us! Winter Moon, release a level 1 combat alert! Robin, Alex, get everyone on the mecha. Only the smallest number of operators are left on the bridge!”
“Boom ~ ~ ~” A few minutes later, Apostle and Keith, who were seated in the armor of the military aircraft, sensed the intense tremors from the outside world, and the entire attack ship seemed to be about to collapse.
“Sir, Dr. Norton’s signal has been interpreted. This wormhole is unable to pass through large-scale inanimate matter” Dong Yue transmitted her voice to Qin Lun almost by shouting.
At this moment, everyone sitting in the mecha could already see the brilliant light on the other side of the wormhole through the soldier’s projection screen!
