Countless precise instruments had been unable to find any trace of the jump capsule. It was as if it had simply vanished from the Solar System.
The observation satellites scattered throughout the Solar System had searched everywhere, but found no sign of it.
Could it have flown out of the Solar System? But the Jump Engine's maximum charge was insufficient to support a flight out of the Solar System. Besides, the energy required to fly directly out of the Solar System was far beyond what such a small jump capsule could provide.
The scientists repeatedly reviewed the data from the final jump. It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake. After stirring up faint ripples, it had vanished beneath the surface.
"It might be subspace," one scientist suggested, looking somewhat excited.
"According to certain conjectures, it might have entered the gap between the material universe and the energy universe."
A scientist who knew something about the subject explained to the others, "Based on our guesses about the universe, it's actually like two spheres curling in opposite directions. At the same time, every coordinate on them is exactly the same and can be connected through black holes."
"This creates an impossible situation. The surfaces of the two spheres have no contact at all except at the point where they touch."
"But there are many black holes in the universe, so scientists came up with another hypothesis."
"There is actually a special layer of matter and space between these two universes, serving as a medium—or a midpoint—for connecting the coordinates of the two universes."
"It naturally fills itself with certain special matter according to the curvature of the two universes in order to achieve that connection. That is subspace."
