"Hiss, hiss —"
As Chen Yu activated the FTL engine, the Type-R Spacecraft's hull trembled violently, and a strange airflow appeared.
Everyone on the ship could clearly feel the rotation of their bodies.
"This is the spaceship adjusting its direction."
"Aim the left sphere containing dark matter at Alpha Centauri, and use the right sphere to release dark energy to expand.
The spaceship will remain stationary during the entire process, so there shouldn't be any tremors. "
Sure enough, when the slight tremors stopped, the hull of the ship returned to normal.
The bright sun.
In the pitch-black sky.
A dazzling galaxy …
Everything was as still as a painting.
"Then … when can the spaceship exceed the speed of light?" a young man from the bullet comment group asked tentatively.
"We've already surpassed it," Chen Yu said, raising an eyebrow.
"Exceeded?!"
Hearing this, other than some professionals in the donation group, the rest of the participants were shocked.
The slightly plump man with the ID Pillar was sprawled on the ground. His eyes were wide open as he carefully observed the starry sky beneath his feet. "There's no movement outside at all?"
"Pa!"
Raising his hand, Chen Yu snapped his fingers. Immediately, a virtual projection screen appeared in midair.
A few strings of numbers were displayed in the middle of the screen.
Speed of Light x 12
365371k/s
They were 9,457.7 billion kilometers away from their destination.
Estimated time: 1355 days.
"The speed of light is currently the fastest speed we know of.
In a vacuum, it could reach nearly 300,000 kilometers per second.
It could circle the Earth eight times in a second.
It only took eight minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth.
From the Earth to the Moon, it only took two seconds.
Admittedly, such extreme speed was already very fast in the eyes of humans. It was so fast that it was unbelievable.
But on the scale of the universe, it's not much different from a crawling snail. "
After saying so, Chen Yu turned around and pointed at the faintly blue sun in the distance. "We are like snails, and the sun is like a mountain.
Even if we reached 12 times the speed of light, it would take us nearly a year to fly through the Oort cloud and out of the solar system.
So from our point of view, nothing has moved.
The speed of light is really too slow. "
"Even the speed of light is so insignificant in the universe. Traveling before the speed of light is even more difficult.
Perhaps when a civilization truly masters dark matter technology, the universe will open up to them … "
Fear.
Without experiencing it personally, one would never understand the vastness of the universe.
He suddenly shut himself in.
Autistic + 1
+250。
To the universe, we can't even be considered a virus …
Humans were so weak.
If he couldn't control dark matter, he wouldn't be able to fly around the universe.
If he couldn't fly around the universe, he wouldn't be able to get enough dark matter.
Wasn't this an endless loop?
Looks like we've become the Lord of All Things on Earth, but we haven't even stepped out of the Novice Village in the universe OL?
It should be a newly created account …
Where did the female assistant go?
"Pa!"
Clapping his hands and attracting everyone's attention, Chen Yu stretched out two fingers and said, "Now, let's continue accelerating. Double the speed of light."
Speed of Light x2
5987310k/s
The "wallpaper" in deep space remained unchanged, but if one observed carefully, they would discover that all the starlight behind it was faintly blue.
This was due to the strong blueshift caused by the superluminal speed.
All the stars in front of him were turning slightly red …
The red at the front and blue at the back finally gave the humans a reference, proving that the speed of the spaceship had exceeded the speed of light.
Stretching out five fingers, Chen Yu calmly said, "Five times."
Speed of Light x5
1487462k/s
"Buzz!"
The instant the spaceship broke through five times the speed of light, the starry space around the spaceship faintly distorted for some unknown reason.
"It's a spatial lens," Chen Yu explained dutifully.
"At five times the speed of light, the independent space surrounding the spaceship will inevitably undergo the Kerry diffusion effect due to the contrast between the front and the back. You can think of this as deformation.
Hence, from our point of view, it looks like a 360-degree force has bent the glass, producing the lens effect. "
"Roar ~"
The bullet comment group's members nodded in realization.
Meanwhile, the donation group's astronauts opened their toolboxes one after another, constructed their equipment, arranged their sensors, and started filming and analyzing the spaceship.
"Continue." Stretching out his hands and spreading his fingers, Chen Yu said, "Ten times!"
Speed of Light x10
2975611k/s
When the spaceship's "movement" exceeded the speed of light by ten times, the distortion of the surrounding space gradually became obvious.
The blueshift in front and the redshift at the back had practically covered up the original color of the celestial body.
Whoosh!
At this time, a shadow suddenly streaked across the spaceship's exterior, giving everyone a fright.
"Crap?"
"What the heck? Whoosh?"
"And here I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me..."
After adjusting the instrument's scale, one of the interactive event participants at the Red Coast Observatory casually said, "It's Jupiter."
"That's right." Nodding, Chen Yu said, "We just flew past Jupiter.
Because the spaceship's speed is too fast, our dynamic vision isn't enough to capture Jupiter's image when it passes by.
Next, continue accelerating. Twenty times! "
Speed of Light x20
6046227k/s！
"Fifty times!"
Speed of Light x50
015 AU/s
"One AU represents the distance between Earth and the sun.
In other words, with our current speed, we can reach Earth from the sun in only seven seconds. "
"Fifty times the speed of light is only the spacecraft's low speed.
Continue, 100 times! "
Speed of Light x100
03 AU/s
After reaching 100 times the speed of light, the blueshift and redshift phenomena became increasingly intense. However, all celestial bodies, including the sun, remained motionless...
The horror of the universe was displayed to the livestream rooms' 170 million viewers.
"This is madness."
Lying on the transparent wall of the spaceship, Jack Ma solemnly observed the eternally unchanging deep space. His thoughts, spirit, consciousness, and worldview had all received a massive blow.
"Humans are actually insignificant to such an extent..."
Suddenly, Jack Ma realized that the huge business empire he had painstakingly built was nothing more than an ant lifting a grain of rice from the solar system's point of view.
It might seem great, but in reality, it was insignificant.
If humanity were to become extinct millions of years later, not even a trace of humanity would be left behind.
Only emptiness and silence would be left, blending into the main melody of the universe...
Everyone else, including the astronauts, also had complicated emotions.
Several youths in the bullet comment group even faintly felt the urge to commit suicide as they faced the vastness of space.
What was the point of living such a humble life for just a few decades? They had experienced school, life, creation, work, exhaustion, and hardships... What was the point of struggling to survive and dying of old age?
"..."
As an "astronaut" who had set foot in the universe countless times, although Chen Yu couldn't be said to be indifferent, he also wasn't as sentimental as them.
Raising his hand and stretching out five fingers, Chen Yu calmly said, "Continue accelerating. Five hundred times."
Speed of Light x500!
15 AU/s!
Under the crazy speed of 150 million kilometers per second, the originally proud and indifferent starry sky was finally conquered, and it began moving horizontally at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Meanwhile, a frightening change also occurred inside the spacecraft.
