Su Yichen and others never expected that they would travel such a long distance from the edge of the Milky Way to the solar system, 2 million light-years.
This is an almost terrifying number.
Even if such a long distance is returned in a curvature state, That would take at least millions of years. , A wormhole that inexplicably appeared in front of their voyage caused everyone on the Pioneer spacecraft to leave their interstellar space and come to the distant Andromeda Galaxy.
It only took them 5 seconds to cover such a long distance.
For a moment, everyone's expressions froze on their faces, and no one was speechless.
Wormholes are an extremely unique celestial phenomenon.
Even advanced cosmic civilizations have not fully understood its secrets.
It is not even possible to confirm whether wormholes actually exist in the universe.
In fact, judging from some characteristics of wormholes, jump technology is slightly similar to wormholes, but when compared with the actual situation, the difference between them is huge.
Jump technology is a higher-level cosmic technology developed based on curvature technology.
According to the core of curvature technology, its main function is to straighten the space in front of the aircraft, and then shrink the space to reach or even exceed the speed of light.
The jump technology uses the foldability of space to transform the three-dimensional space into two-dimensional space to a certain extent, so that one point can reach another point in the shortest time.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that jump technology is also called jump technology, but it is fundamentally different from wormholes.
You must know that the wormhole has another name: the time hole.
It is a multi-dimensional space tunnel.
Inside the wormhole, various dimensions and spaces undergo another strange change.
Its properties are very different from ordinary jump technology.
In fact, Su Yichen was doubting now.
Are their current timelines that came to the Andromeda Galaxy inexplicably through the wormhole still at their original location?
Although various data show that it only took them a short period of 5 seconds to pass through the wormhole, we must know that the internal dimensions of the wormhole are completely different from space and time.
Perhaps in this brief moment, the Pioneer spacecraft Everyone has not only spanned a long distance, but also spanned a long time.
As for whether this time is moving forward or going backwards, this is an unsolvable answer.
Because only when they return to the Milky Way, return to the galaxy they are familiar with, and connect with their own civilization or other cosmic civilizations can they understand this.
After understanding their situation, everyone couldn't help but despair after a long silence, especially Tang Le.
He was a little excited just now, and when he understood everything he was facing, his whole face showed that he was about to cry without tears. expression.
At a distance of 2 million light-years, let alone the Pioneer spacecraft, even the most advanced spacecraft of the Blue Star Civilization cannot return to its home star within a million years. even.
No cosmic civilization in the entire galaxy can do this.
Even if it is driving a jump ship of an advanced cosmic civilization, such a long distance will take at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.
In other words, all of them have become wanderers in the universe, people who can never go home.
Thinking of his own civilization, his home planet, and even his relatives, Tangler, who has always been optimistic, even shed tears.
I couldn't help but sob.
The same is true in Gao Jian's heart, although he is still strong on the surface.
But the loss and despair in his heart was no less than Tangler's.
His relatives on earth are still waiting for him to return, but now he can't return to earth even if he spends his whole life.
A feeling of loneliness and loss of being abandoned and isolated is thick in his heart.
Gao Jian sips hard Mouth, hands clasped tightly.
Kevin Adams is slightly better.
After all, his age and experience have given him more endurance, not to mention that he is a relatively persistent scientist.
Although he was also shocked and panicked in his heart, he soon gradually calmed down.
Su Yichen looked at Luo Yan beside him with a wry smile and regret, and at this moment Luo Yan also looked at him.
A moment.
Both parties understood the words in their respective eyes.
They could no longer return to the familiar earth, nor could they fulfill their respective commitments.
They could no longer even see their relatives and friends on earth.
The loss and despair in their hearts could not be concealed.

But no matter what, they are still together.
Although they are so far away from the earth, at least this is the only thing that can comfort each other.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault.
If I hadn't insisted on rushing back to the solar system, maybe."
As the captain, Su Yichen took the initiative to take responsibility.
In his opinion, if he had not ordered the Pioneer spacecraft to rush back to the solar system as quickly as possible, and even vetoed the suggestion of a short stop for maintenance midway, then maybe they would not have You will encounter a wormhole and appear in this place.
"No, it's not your fault.
You are our captain.
This is just an accident, although it is an extremely shocking accident."
Who would have thought that Tangler, who was wiping his tears, shook his head instead, with a sad look on his face.
Standing firmly, he took the initiative and said: "Maybe we are the only intelligent life in the entire galaxy that has passed through wormholes.
It is a rare experience for us.
I think we can try to find it.
Maybe there are many wormholes in the universe.
If we travel through time again, we might be able to go back."
"What if I can't find it?
What if I can't go back?"
Gao Jian couldn't help but ask.
As soon as he said the words, he felt something was wrong and quickly closed his mouth, his face full of apologies.
"So what if we can't find it?
As a member of civilization in a strange galaxy, isn't this a test to explore the mysteries of the universe?
Even if our lives end here in the future, I think one day our experiences will be transmitted back to our respective places. civilization.”
"Perhaps there is no need to be so pessimistic."
Kevin Adams said: "The accident has already happened, and it will be useless to hold people responsible.
What's more, as Tangler said, whether it is through a wormhole or arriving here accidentally, this will have a profound impact on our respective civilizations.
It's a valuable asset.
Maybe we can find our way home.
Even if there is another wormhole that can go back, even if it is not possible, the equipment of our Pioneer spacecraft can be enough to support it.
Don't forget that we can also hibernate and go back in hibernation if necessary.
In that case , the long time and distance may be just a sleep for us.”
"Yes, that's a good suggestion."
Tangler's eyes lit up as Kevin Adams' words reminded him.
The Pioneer spacecraft has a complete ecological cycle system, coupled with hibernation equipment, it can give them an almost endless life.
At that time, they can hand over the spaceship to Zhinao or Su Li, and everyone will enter hibernation.
In this way, no matter how far the distance is, it can theoretically be achieved, no matter how long it takes to return. .
At least there is hope, right?
Gao Jian thought about this suggestion and immediately agreed.
Although Su Yichen and Luo Yan nodded in agreement, they knew in their hearts that although this was theoretically possible, no one could guarantee whether it could actually be realized.
After all, nearly a million years is too long.
Who knows what accidents they will encounter during a voyage of 2 million light years or more?
But in the face of the current situation, these words can only be hidden in their hearts.
Everyone temporarily returned to normal from the cruelty of reality and embarked on the long journey home.
Now, it is meaningless to consider the crisis of the earth's civilization.
Su Yichen only hopes that the earth's civilization can see through the conspiracy of Gaia civilization, so as to preserve the independence and development of civilization.
Another thing that made Su Yichen feel reassured was that the medium-sized spacecraft of the Blue Star Civilization did not seem to pass through the wormhole with them.

After all, the distance between the two sides was still quite a bit at that time.
The Pioneer spacecraft crossed toward the front of the wormhole, and The medium-sized spacecraft of the Blue Star Civilization, which was some distance away from them, was on the other side.
In addition, the medium-sized spacecraft was much more advanced than the Pioneer spacecraft in terms of power and technology.
Judging from the final result, it can be inferred that the Pioneer spacecraft did not escape the attraction of the wormhole and traveled through it.
However, the medium-sized spacecraft of Blue Star Civilization probably broke away from the curvature navigation state in time to avoid the wormhole.
If this is the case, then at least the medium-sized spacecraft of Blue Star Civilization has been preserved.
Even if they wait for the Pioneer spacecraft to no avail, they can still go to the solar system to visit civilization on Earth.
With the help of Blue Star Civilization, Earth civilization will have a much greater chance of survival, and the news of their disappearance will also be brought back to Earth.
Of course, this is just Su Yichen's guess, but according to his judgment, the possibility of this guess is very high.
In the following time, the Pioneer spacecraft tried to find the shadow of the wormhole behind it.
According to the results of their discussion, since they traveled from one end of the wormhole to the other, it can be inferred that the wormhole is still behind them.
Perhaps they can return to the Milky Way by finding this wormhole and traveling through it again.
Unfortunately, this is nothing more than an inference.
When the Pioneer spacecraft turned around in the universe, flew in the opposite direction, and even actively started the curvature engine again to search for the mysterious wormhole, the wormhole never appeared again.
No matter which method they know, space is no different from usual, there is still endless void and stars filling the universe.
Everyone has been working hard for more than three months, constantly searching in this airspace, but there is still no trace of the wormhole.
It was as if the wormhole they had traveled through had mysteriously disappeared, and it was as if the wormhole had never appeared before.
This result makes everyone a little frustrated.
It means that the possibility of returning to the Milky Way by finding a wormhole is almost gone.
Then the only way left is to fly towards the Milky Way in a curvature navigation state.
This road is long and full of unknown dangers, but it is their only choice.
After Su Li and the brain of the spacecraft positioned the galaxy, they finally selected the direction of the return path after precise calculations.
After making preparations, the Pioneer spacecraft once again entered the curvature voyage state and headed towards the distant galaxy.
More than 20 days later, the Pioneer spacecraft broke away from the curvature state, but its flight direction did not change at all.
And this separation is also necessary.
You must know that their current location is the Andromeda Galaxy.
This is a galaxy that no earth civilization, even the Blue Star Civilization, including the cosmic civilization of the Milky Way higher than the Blue Star Civilization, has ever touched.
Everything in front of them was unfamiliar, and there was no so-called star map to refer to.
In this case, to ensure the safety of curvature navigation, Su Li and the spacecraft brain must calculate and plan the road ahead in advance.
According to the maximum calculation and planning ability of Su Li and the spacecraft brain, they can only do It takes about 25 days of warp navigation.
Once this distance is exceeded, the risk of the Pioneer spacecraft's journey in the curvature navigation state will be greatly increased.
Of course, it is not impossible to increase the calculation speed, but as the distance gets longer, the calculation amount and calculation difficulty increase exponentially.
In comparison, this way of flying is the most efficient, not to mention The Pioneer spacecraft faces a distance of up to 2 million light years, and the performance and maintenance of the spacecraft are also extremely important.
This is the reason why this plan was finally chosen.
A few days later, when the next flight data results were completed and the equipment inspection of the Pioneer spacecraft was confirmed to be correct, Su Yichen and the others once again entered the curvature navigation state.
After more than 20 days, just like last time, the Pioneer spacecraft Once again, it emerged from the curvature state and continued with another flight data preparation and spacecraft inspection.
Time passed quickly, and now half a year has passed since they passed through the wormhole, and three months have passed since they made the return journey.
In the past three months, the Pioneer spacecraft has conducted three curvature flights and experienced three separations and monitoring.
Now it is preparing to calculate the data of the fourth curvature flight.
According to normal conditions, Su Li and The work of the intellectual brain can be done.
But who would have thought that at this moment, Su Li suddenly took the initiative to summon everyone on the Pioneer spacecraft.
Just when Su Yichen thought that the flight data had been released in advance, Su Li clicked on a three-dimensional star map and pointed in front of them.
A small galaxy located 6 degrees away said something that everyone found incredible.
"What do you mean about the existence of a living planet over there?"
Su Yichen was surprised at first, and then overjoyed.

He never expected that he would find a living planet on the way back.
Did they encounter the cosmic civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy?
If the other party is an advanced cosmic civilization, Maybe they can get some help from the other party.
If the other party's civilization is only a low-level or medium cosmic civilization, then it doesn't matter.
At least they can get the star map of this strange galaxy from the other party.
When thinking of these possibilities, not only Su Yichen, but also everyone else couldn't help showing expressions of extreme joy on their faces. aa2705221:
