Chapter 306: Trans-dimensional Drive?

"Return to Earth in an instant?" The crew looked at the captain, wondering if he was in a bad mental state.

They had been on this ship for so long and had never heard of or found an engine that could be powerful enough to return to Earth instantly.

The captain stood up from his seat and said firmly,

"Yes, I accidentally discovered it when I was inspecting the energy room. It is the real main engine of this ship."

"This ship has a hidden main engine?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The captain said calmly: "Come with me, I will take you to start the real engine system of this spacecraft."

As the group walked along the road, he continued to explain: "The speed of the spacecraft cannot exceed the speed of light, but the power engine of this spacecraft can create distortions in time and space!"

"It's like two points that were originally far apart on a piece of paper can coincide with each other after the paper is folded."

"After the folding of time and space, our current location can instantly overlap with the Earth, and in a blink of an eye, we can arrive on Earth."

"Thus achieving superluminal travel in disguise."

"This theory has been proposed a long time ago." The engineer on the ship frowned and said, "But we humans have never realized it... Are you sure that this spaceship has such an engine, and it is a mature technology that can be used in practice?"

"Time and space folding, space travel... It sounds wonderful, but if there is any small mistake in the manufacture or operation of the engine, we may fall into an abyss of no return!"

The captain looked confident in the face of the question and said: "I have confirmed that it is definitely a mature technology!"

As they were talking, everyone came to the energy room.

At this time, You Huan naturally noticed the movement.

During this period of time, he has been busy making some "special arrangements" and watching this group of people pass by several colonies in succession without finding anything.

In fact, the atmosphere between them has reached a peak.

After finally finding a way to leave Paradise Star, what awaits them are planets that are also infected by black water.

If we can't find a solution or an outlet, I'm afraid someone will go crazy.

In this situation, the captain suggested that everyone could return to Earth instantly, which was equivalent to igniting a bit of hope.

Therefore, although there were many suspicious points in the captain's words that were worthy of scrutiny, everyone still came to the energy room.

You Huan leaped above them, his claws and tail fixed on the protrusions on the ceiling, and followed them silently.

I watched the bearded captain standing in front of the spherical wall covered with dense grooves, and put a black object into one of the grooves.

Just as You Huan was trying to see what it was, a flash of light appeared before his eyes and the walls opened to both sides.

What was revealed to everyone and him was a deep and straight corridor.

The walkway was located in a cylindrical passage. It was not an ordinary wall, but like the teeth of a meat grinder, it kept spinning in all directions of the walkway!

Amid a slight humming sound, the teeth on the wall kept turning. The lonely walkway hanging in the center led to the darkness in the distance, as if welcoming everyone's arrival.

When everyone saw the scene revealed by the opening of the wall of the energy room, they subconsciously took a step back.

Only the captain walked forward, looked up at the meat grinder-like passage, and said:

"This is a connection section used to shield the internal engine room from the outside world. It is not dangerous."

He walked up the aisle first, moving forward steadily.

Seeing that this passage seemed to be as safe as he said, everyone looked at each other and walked up.

You Huan looked at the rotating dark corridor and vaguely recalled some scenes from "The Surface of the Black Hole".

This seems to be a scene from a movie, right?

But he always felt something was wrong.

There must be something wrong with this captain.

He had been observing the movements of these people during this period, and he had never seen the captain "accidentally" discover this hidden passage.

Moreover, as a captain of an unknown spaceship, his behavior was too careless.

However, the crew members, whether because they were eager to return to Earth or were influenced by other factors, all followed.

After thinking about it, he didn't follow in person.

The claws on the tail were spread open, revealing a small tuft of fur within.

This is a small cluster of "eyeliner" from Xiao Pu, into which his Origin Black Water was added, thus transforming it into a unique existence.

It was separated from Xiao Pu's consciousness, but still maintained the information transmission channel with Xiao Pu.

Even if something happens to the tuft of hair, Xiao Pu, as the main body, can cut off the signal in time and will not be affected.

The fluff floated out and soon landed on Xiao's collar, swaying slightly as she moved.

Xiao Pu engages in sensory sharing, and You Huan's perspective cuts into the fluff.

He saw everyone walk to the end of the passage, and a big door opened with a rumble.

What came into view was an extremely spectacular and strange scene——

This is a circular hall with huge protruding spikes neatly and densely distributed on the slightly curved walls.

All the spikes pointed to a huge sphere in the center of the hall.

Three rings are nested on the sphere. The rings and the sphere rotate according to their own unique rules. Therefore, the three rings sometimes fit together and sometimes separate from each other in different directions and angles.

In the slightly dim space, the movement of this huge installation seems to have some kind of indescribable unique rhythm.

It's like using movement to express a certain meaning, like singing, like depicting.

Everyone couldn't help but look up at it and stood there in a daze.

It is silent, yet it seems to be singing.

You Huan looked at this somewhat familiar scene through the fur and fell into silence.

This is... "The Surface of the Black Hole" tearing apart the hyperspace engine on the Horizon.

When this weird engine starts, it will create a black hole to achieve the purpose of time travel.

In the movie, this high-tech spacecraft that was secretly built disappeared into the universe during its first engine test and remained missing for seven years.

Seven years later, it appeared like a ghost near Neptune and sent out a distress signal like the howling of a ghost.

So a rescue team went to rescue, but they got stuck in the ship.

He hadn't seen the specific plot, so he didn't know much about it.

But he knew that the setting of this movie should be that after starting the engine, the Torn Horizon traveled through time and space and entered a world outside this universe, a hellish world.

All crew members were affected by that world and fell into madness, and the ship was no longer just a spaceship, but became something like a living creature.

The scene of that hellish world can be glimpsed from the scenes that flash by many times in the movie.

Because these scenes are very classic, he has seen the editing, which should include a series of heavy scenes such as torture, self-mutilation, maggots, etc. that are inconvenient to describe in detail.

Could it be that a similar plot to the movie will be repeated now... or is there something else going on?

As he guessed, the crew members who saw this magnificent and unique engine with their own eyes finally came to their senses amid a rumbling sound.

They suddenly looked at the captain who was walking in the front.

Located in front of the spherical engine is a control panel, and the captain pressed a button on the panel.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

One light after another lit up from the walls, covering the sphere in the center.

Immediately, rows of lights lit up on the three rings wrapped around the sphere.

In the shining lights, the rotation speed of the rings and spheres gradually increased, and the movement gradually tended towards a certain strange pattern.

Until one moment, the three circles completely overlapped.

The lights on the ring radiated light towards the crew.

In this light, the half sphere that was completely revealed due to the overlap of the rings and facing everyone instantly turned into a flat surface like the surface of mercury!

It was like a passage was opened.

The next moment, an invisible and violent wave poured out from this mercury-like plane!

"boom!"

　I haven't been in good shape since I got up this morning, so I've only updated twice, with another one in the evening.
