World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 788 - 551: Crossing the Wormhole_2
Chapter 788: Chapter 551: Crossing the Wormhole_2
Indeed, Zhang Xiaoman planned to use Jiu Jiu, a natural "Field of View," to stand in for him on the spaceship.
Once he confirmed that Dawn had successfully passed through the wormhole, he would then use his Unlimited Teleportation ability to join it.
After all, as a member of the Star Spirit Clan, Jiu Jiu faced no danger even if directly exposed to space.
Moreover, since he counted as one of his skills and could not die, it was most suitable for exploring.
Jiu Jiu was very smart and immediately understood its master’s intentions.
Though it found it odd why its master wanted to complicate matters, the simple-minded creature didn’t plan to ask and happily agreed.
It showed no awareness of being used as a mobile viewport.
The little guy affectionately fluttered around its master, and as Zhang Xiaoman checked his distance from the wormhole, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave and spent some time playfully distracting it to pass the time.
After resting a while longer, he finally heard the voice of Star Order:
"Current distance to the target location is 36,000,000m, the spaceship will arrive at the destination in 20 minutes."
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman sat up with a kip-up from the bed in the ship captain’s room, gave Jiu Jiu some instructions, and then teleported back to Rebirth Island using Unlimited Teleportation.
On Rebirth Island, his figure quietly appeared in his room, without alerting anyone.
Switching views, Zhang Xiaoman shifted his focus to Jiu Jiu.
He began observing the surroundings of Dawn through the little guy’s perspective.
Jiu Jiu, following his instructions, was progressing toward the control room.
Although occasionally distracted by the green plants and flowers along the way, it didn’t linger long and quickly reached its destination.
Here, Dawn had activated Holographic Mode, and the outer space scenery around the spaceship was clearly visible.
The outer space remained as immeasurable as before.
Dotted with stars, but it had never changed.
It seemed like a redundant scroll of painting, beautiful yet inevitably boring if stared at for too long.
Jiu Jiu circled around in the command room, seemingly finding nothing interesting, and then flew straight to its master’s exclusive seat and stayed motionless.
Zhang Xiaoman could almost see the little guy with its ears drooping, a bored expression as it lay there waiting for the time to pass.
Exiting the view, he bought an Osmanthus Pill from the System Store, the reward he had promised Jiu Jiu, to bring and enjoy together when he returned.
After waiting a bit longer, Zhang Xiaoman figured it was about time and switched his view back to Jiu Jiu.
The Little Fox had already flown up from the chair, wandering around in the command room looking like it was reacting to something in the external environment.
Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled. Although he could summon Jiu Jiu from a distance using his mind, he couldn’t communicate with it, and some questions had to wait to be asked face-to-face upon his return.
He glanced at his wristwatch, which displayed the remaining distance the spaceship had to travel excitedly.
3,600,000m...
150,000m...
50,000m...
The spaceship moved quickly, with the numbers on the watch constantly changing.
Since he was too far from Dawn, the Star Network Terminal couldn’t receive the information from there and could be used only as a timer.
After all, the communication method used by the wristwatch was neutrino communication, which was still efficient within a planet but somewhat insufficient in the vast universe.
Zhang Xiaoman planned to wait until the Gang Store randomly stocked a communication upgrade module, and then he could upgrade it affordably.
Once switched to quantum communication, that would practically eliminate any limitations due to distance.
As his thoughts raced, the remaining distance on his watch displayed as 0, indicating that Dawn had arrived at the wormhole.
Looking at the holographic projection’s scene, which didn’t seem any different from usual, Zhang Xiaoman became puzzled.
"We’ve arrived? But where is the wormhole? I don’t seem to see it. Could it have disappeared already?"
He was very anxious, as the scene before him differed greatly from what he had imagined.
However, Jiu Jiu seemed to sense something and flew to the very front of the command center, staring ahead through the ship’s armor.
Zhang Xiaoman saw its strange behavior and had a thought, murmuring that maybe he was wrong, the wormhole had not disappeared, it’s just that his own eyes couldn’t see it.
Jiu Jiu, as a member of the Star Spirit race, likely had some special method to detect the existence of the wormhole.
The Dawn continued to fly, with everything around it remaining as before, no changes at all.
However, in the next moment, the scene displayed by the holographic projection suddenly changed.
The previously monotonous star pattern abruptly shifted to a completely unfamiliar scene.
The depths of space were the same, but the stars were no longer those stars.
The visible constant stars had all changed position, with no familiar constellations in sight.
Even the color of the light around them had changed.
It was a crimson light that, just from a glance, gave one a feeling of revulsion.
Zhang Xiaoman immediately thought of the constant stars infected by the Makula as recorded—the Prism.
"Have we already passed through the wormhole?"
Zhang Xiaoman knew that surely the Dawn had already crossed the wormhole, the entire process seemed very smooth, without any danger.
He was somewhat excited, his first interstellar journey turned out to be very successful.
The Dawn had reached its destination, the rest was up to him to handle personally.
However, he did not act immediately, but instead used Jiu Jiu’s view to observe a table in the command center.
On it was a cage, inside which was a rabbit being used as a lab rat.
From the rabbit’s response, Zhang Xiaoman could confirm that crossing the wormhole itself did not seem to pose any harm to ordinary life forms.
At least the rabbit was still full of vigor.
Having confirmed the safety there, Zhang Xiaoman again activated his Unlimited Teleportation ability, and his figure reappeared on the Dawn.
At this moment, this teleportation compared to the past could be considered the longest distance ever, crossing countless star systems to arrive near the Guleng Star.
As soon as he arrived on the Dawn, Zhang Xiaoman immediately felt a massive surge of Dark Energy Fluctuation from behind him.
He turned his head to look, that was precisely the location of the wormhole.
"So the existence of the wormhole is also related to Dark Energy... No wonder Jiu Jiu had exhibited that curious expression earlier..."
Zhang Xiaoman understood the situation, it seemed that the wormhole itself was related to Dark Energy, not simply a physical phenomenon.
But on further thought, after all, the wormhole does have the energy to warp space, being a part of this universe, it can only be detected by Dark Energy Fluctuations, but cannot be directly seen, which actually fits quite well with the characteristics of Dark Energy.
Feeling the active and lively trace of Dark Energy behind him, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly had a feeling.
The Dark Energy Particles seemed to follow some kind of pattern, appearing chaotic, but actually each had their own trajectory.
However, this trajectory was too vast and too complex, trying to figure it out seemed like an extremely difficult task.
Even with his extraordinary talents, he couldn’t find any pattern in a short time.
After observing the wormhole again, Zhang Xiaoman turned his attention back to the front of the spaceship, which was the source of the crimson light, the Prism.
The Prism Star was the sun of the Guleng Star People, now corrupted by an unknown Alien Species, emitting a seeping crimson light.
The Dawn was not far from the Guleng Star System.
That huge Prism Star seen was actually not much different from watching the Sun on Water Blue Star.
If anything, because they were in space without an atmosphere, what they saw was bigger and clearer.
Of course, this was all in comparison to the constant star system in front of them.
If the Dawn wanted to fly into the Guleng Star System, it would still take some time.
And this span of time would be at least a few months, or possibly even several years.
Such a long time was, of course, unbearable for Zhang Xiaoman to wait, so he had to think of other ways.
