The scholars decided to allocate one minute from the total twenty-minute timeframe to conduct a preliminary prospective study.
At least figure out whether the time difference between the two sides of the Spacetime Tunnel will continue to exist, and whether the movements on the other side will really slow down by more than 60,000 times when they observe Planet No. 1.
This is a basic question.
Only after clarifying this issue can we proceed to the next stage of research, and only then can the study of the geography, astronomy, and hydrology of Planet No. 1 be carried out simultaneously.
Clearly, during the symposium, they also collaborated with academic societies from other fields.
In short, Zhang Tianyuan's responsibility is simply to open the Spacetime Tunnel for one minute after the experiment is prepared.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
Zhang Tianyuan quickly approved the plan, which he himself barely understood.
Three days later.
With the experiment preparations complete, Zhang Tianyuan transferred to the underground city in the Wandering Spacetime.
The space control base that was previously connected to Spacecraft No. 1 is located here.
Surrounded by a group of physicists, the tunnel leading to Planet Interstellar Spacetime Planet No. 1 reappeared.
Almost at the same time the tunnel opened, a drone team that had already conducted nearly a hundred drills flew by quickly with detection instruments, disappearing in the blink of an eye at the other end of the Spacetime Tunnel.
Zhang Tianyuan only knew that there was an atomic clock on it, an instrument that takes tens of millions of years or even longer to produce an error of one second, making it the most accurate timekeeping device on Earth.
That was probably used to determine the specific time difference between Planet No. 1 and Earth.
In addition to the drones, several signal antennas also extended a short distance to the other side of the Spacetime Tunnel.
These antennas can connect directly to unmanned spacecraft, enabling them not only to download new data from the spacecraft but also to control it.
Normally, it would be more convenient to send an astronaut there, but nobody knows the situation on Planet No. 1. If someone is sent there and gets trapped there, who knows what might happen?
Therefore, remote operation is still safer.
Furthermore, the team operating the spaceship remotely underwent rigorous prior training, making their operations as fluid as instinct, and their speed not much slower than when operated by real people.
Upon seeing this, many scholars and Zhang Tianyuan immediately turned their attention to it.
go.
The answer to their most pressing question is about to be revealed.
Now that the two places are directly connected, will there still be a difference in travel time?
Everyone's eyes were glued to the screen.
There are two time displays above, one for the Wandering Spacetime and the other for the spaceship's internal timing system.
Tap tap tap.
Three seconds passed in a row.
The seconds on both time displays jumped three times simultaneously.
The operators of Spacecraft No. 1 also reported:
"Spaceship response normal!"
"Everything is working normally, and I haven't noticed any delay."
Yi Yehua and Professor Brand exchanged a glance.
The time proportions are now consistent!
From what we just saw, we know that one second passed on Planet No. 1, and one second also passed on their side, not more than 60,000 seconds...
How did you do that?
What is the theoretical basis for this?
A host of new questions arose in the minds of the two men and other scholars.
Zhang Tianyuan, on the other hand, was more "pragmatic." Since physics research was not something he could handle, he decided to observe Dr. Miller's situation.
So he immediately ordered, "Search for Dr. Miller's signal and see if she is still alive."
"Understood!" The operator immediately retrieved the spaceship's records on Planet No. 1. "Warning signal successfully sent; target should have received it successfully!"
That means Dr. Miller is probably still alive.
Zhang Tianyuan had someone send a new message to Dr. Miller using the spaceship, instructing her to pilot the Ranger to rendezvous with the unmanned spaceship, and to wait for an opportunity to enter the unmanned spaceship when it landed to sign the Mutual Aid Society agreement inside, before returning via the Spacetime Tunnel.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would take Miller at least an hour or even longer to pilot the spaceship away from Planet No. 1.
On Earth, at the very least, seven years have passed.
In comparison, it would be better to have Miller follow the unmanned spacecraft and operate according to their exploration plan.
Following this detection, the Physics Society will conduct several more experiments in the near future, each lasting one minute.
However, at the end, a full ten minutes of continuous probing is expected.
Miller could then use those ten minutes to enter the unmanned spaceship, sign the agreement that had already been placed inside, and then...
Return through the Spacetime Tunnel.
If this plan is followed, the time it takes for her to return to Earth will be greatly reduced, because most of that time will overlap with the time spent on the experiment.
It has now been proven that when the Spacetime Tunnel are connected, there is no difference in the time ratio between Earth and Planet No. 1.
From the time the Spacecraft No. 1 entered orbit to the start of the first experiment, more than half a month passed on Earth.
But in Miller's view, only half a minute had passed between receiving the message and Ranger's engine in a cold sweat.
She only now realized that the spaceship's engines had started successfully.
She quickly raised the nose of the plane and began to fly in a diagonal upward motion.
Although she was panicked, she still maintained her rationality. Doing so would maximize the use of the wing's lift design to achieve the fastest possible climb!
The kind of maneuver that involves desperately raising the nose of the spacecraft, as if trying to climb at a 90-degree angle to the ground, will only slow down the spacecraft's ascent speed... w.
Moreover, the spaceship was traveling in the same direction as the giant wave, which had just been approaching it at a visible speed, now seemed to be slowly moving away.
Miller breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had exhausted all his energy.
She glanced at the instrument panel; the spaceship should be able to climb to an altitude of two thousand meters before the giant wave gets close to her.
I should be safe now.
Miller smiled.
Just then, the beeping sound rang out again.
Miller raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing he had received another message.
"Dr. Miller, we have deployed an unmanned spaceship in orbit around your planet. All the information you are receiving so far is coming from it."
"Please actively connect to the spaceship's signal, share your location, and approach it. We have now mastered micro-wormhole technology, and we will be opening several experimental micro-wormholes around the spaceship... You need to seize the opportunity... If you miss it, by the time you escape the time dilation zone, more than ten years may have passed on Earth..."
After reading the new message, Miller blinked, completely bewildered.
She's only been here a little over an hour, and humanity on Earth has already mastered miniature wormhole technology?
What on earth happened?!
