Chapter 325: Ghost Spaceship

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Cradle’s overly weak space-time structure made Li Wenyuan pay more attention to the galaxy itself. This was because the essence of the warp drive was to make the surrounding space align with the destination at the quantum level. This would cause the space-time state at the starting point of the warp drive to change. This was permanent.

He roughly calculated the data. If a space-time structure in this state warped, it would almost certainly trigger a space-time ghost.

Would you be afraid of a killing snail that was chasing you all the time, even if it only moved two millimeters an hour?

In the past, humans had only warped a few apples, but what if this object was a huge spaceship? Would the space-time ghost spaceship use thrusters? What was the logic of the spaceship? Would lifeform organisms also give birth to space-time ghosts?

At this moment, a large number of experimental possibilities appeared in his mind because of the Cradle’s special environment. The current space-time ghost was still mysterious to him. He might be able to use this opportunity to gradually understand the characteristics of the space-time ghost.

But now, he had to solve the problem of the Lightchaser Civilization first.

Li Wenyuan first confirmed if this special phenomenon of space-time weakness in the galaxy was just an example. After obtaining multiple coordinates records, he confirmed that at least most of the Cradle galaxy was in this state.

Thinking about the cause of this phenomenon reminded him of a subconsciously overlooked question. How did the people in this galaxy move faster than light? Could it be caused by the abuse of the extremely huge warp drive?

And that was the answer he got from the Lightchaser Leader.

“Most of the time, we move through a fixed faster-than-light channel. We usually call this channel a hyperspace channel…”

“It’s actually a hyperspace…” The unexpected answer prompted more doubts in Li Wenyuan’s heart.

If not for the excessive warping, why would the Cradle’s space-time structure be so fragile? Who built the hyperspace channel here?

More and more mysteries shrouded the shrinking world, but to the latter question, the Lightchaser Leader answered,

“We built those hyperspace channels ourselves. Later on, when the galaxies were connected, we magically discovered that the construction technology related to them seemed to exist in every corner of the galaxy, waiting for every civilization to discover and put it into practice.”

“Although it’s difficult to connect, it’s not impossible. In the past long period of time, all the civilizations in the Cradle galaxy have been busy doing this.”

“With our ability, we can’t make the hyperspace channel work in all directions, but we can still connect most of the galaxy. This is also the reason why we call ourselves the pioneers. We think this technology is to let us help other controlled civilizations more…”

The result of them building the hyperspace channel here was somewhat beyond Li Wenyuan’s expectations.

Initially, he thought that only humans had such technology. Now, it seemed that there were many smart people and lucky people in the universe.

However, compared to humans, they were much slower. Even if they gathered the power of the entire galaxy, they could only build a hyperspace channel that connected most of the galaxies. At the same time, the galaxies with two hyperspace channel connections were rare gateways.

Considering their actual situation, this was quite good.

After understanding the basic situation again, in order to prevent this civilization five million light-years away from starving to death, Li Wenyuan prepared to let a group of spaceships/spacecraft with resources warp over to save the situation.

The warp drive’s special faster-than-light movement determined that whether it was one light-year or five million light-years, it could be done in an instant.

The only thing he needed to pay attention to now was whether the space-time ghost induced by the paper-thin space-time structure had any other properties.

The space-time apple that moved two millimeters per hour didn’t explain all the problems. Now, with this unique environment, Li Wenyuan could obtain more understanding of space-time ghosts.

Therefore, after discussing with the Lightchaser Civilization, he chose a desolate galaxy and sent a large fleet to monitor the warp site.

All kinds of instruments were also aimed there, recording all the data of that space at all times.

A large spaceship filled with all kinds of rescue supplies slowly drove to the designated warp site. There was no life on this spaceship, nor were there any robots. There was only a drone that had cut off all contact with Li Wenyuan in advance working on it.

This was also his first experiment on the space-time ghost phenomenon. No matter the outcome, it was destined to bring him useful information.

In the end, the warp drive on the cargo spacecraft began to work. In an instant, it formed a huge cubic space that surrounded the spaceship. Even the light was distorted, turning into a glow that flowed on the surface of the spaceship.

The structure of time and space was also shattered and reassembled in the cubic space until it was absolutely identical to the destination.

With the naked eye, the spaceship disappeared without any warning.

But then, something unexpected happened.

The moment the warp drive was officially activated, two almost identical space-times appeared in the world. The only difference was that one had a spaceship, and the other did not.

The slight disturbance allowed time and space to begin to determine where the spaceship should be. Finally, under the interference of the engine, it confirmed that the spaceship was in the latter space-time.

However, although the spaceship had moved, the space-time it left behind was still there, and it had become the weakest area that had undergone warp.

The resentment of the space-time rupture also suddenly swelled to its limit and erupted.

A spaceship that looked exactly the same as the cargo spacecraft appeared in the same place. As it was connected to the main body too perfectly, even the most accurate camera equipment did not capture the process of its appearance. From the video, one could only see a motionless spaceship that seemed to have never moved.

However, the instrument used to detect space-time fluctuations detected that the space-time fluctuations that should have fallen into a valley because of the end of warp had once again reached a peak. This abnormal fluctuation confirmed that something had appeared there.

At the same time, it also confirmed the nature of a space-time ghost. At the very least, it could synchronize everything its main body did.

Including the use of warp drive.

A shadow with zero mass and nothing but an image was actually using a warp drive. No matter how one listened to it, this was a little unbelievable, but it happened.

Not only that, but Li Wenyuan also realized that the speed at which the ghost spaceship started the warp drive was even faster than the main body.

Almost as soon as the cargo spaceship arrived at the Lightchaser Civilization, a ghost spaceship that followed closely behind arrived at the same place. As it touched the main body, it disappeared from the universe in an instant.

However, the new space-time ghost was not born with the warping of the ghost spaceship. That weak area eventually became a danger zone that slowly repaired itself. Until it could withstand it again, there would be no warping here..
