Chapter 388 Hyperspace Illusion
Yu Sheng felt that the two handsome guys on the spaceship had deep misunderstandings and prejudices about his driving skills, and he had evidence.
But he couldn't refute it.
Because he really doesn't have much practical experience - but then again, every experienced driver in this world started out as a novice!
Although the possibility of driving a main battleship right from the start is indeed a little less likely... But no matter what, relying on the special and quite effective driving skills, the Alien Hotel did move under Yu Sheng's control and began to accelerate continuously.
This "giant tower" that looked like a flying church gradually crossed the "near-star space" around Taixu Lingshu. A large number of energy-releasing grids in the middle and tail of the tower became brighter as the power increased. A part of the "sub-tower" orbiting the main tower was also lit up, the shield was activated, and adjusted to the jump preparation state. In the pictures sent back by the external monitor, the last "Immortal Palace" located in the high orbit of the planet was rapidly retreating behind the Alien Hotel, and gradually turned into a dim light spot near Taixu Star.
Yu Sheng sat in the captain's seat and narrowed his eyes slightly.
His senses merged with the spaceship. The starship's powerful reactor seemed to be in sync with his heartbeat. He could feel every energy line, every engine, every cabin, and the dim starlight shining on the spaceship's armor.
He bathed in the light of these distant stars that hid countless secrets. In a trance, he seemed to be able to hear the mysterious whispers and low hums among the stars.
Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, as if waking up from a short and false dream, and looked at the vast and deep space outside the viewing window with some doubt.
A big furry tail instantly rested on his arm, and Hu Li came over: "What's wrong, benefactor?"
"...I almost fell asleep just now. I felt like I heard something, but it seemed to be just an hallucination." Yu Sheng shook his head gently, recalling the strange feeling of listening to the whispers of the stars when he was bathing in the starlight and gazing at the deep sky. Then he suddenly frowned and turned to the side. "I heard that the Algrad people know how to listen to the voices of the stars. They believe that the stars in the universe are whispering, which contains the power of truth and guidance?"
"That's what they say," Zheng Zhi, who was sitting at the back, nodded. This was his first time riding a spaceship, and he was still excited. But after hearing Yu Sheng's words, he immediately became serious. "They seem to be able to accurately sense the subtle changes in the spectrum and magnetic field of many stars, and use this to guide their daily lives. It is said that because of this ability, the proportion of 'star readers' among them is far higher than that of other races... They are the kind of people who don't need a navigation computer, but can use their brains to calculate star maps and navigate the spaceship."
He paused for a moment, and continued while recalling what he had read in the materials: "Of course, what exactly is the 'whisper of the stars'? I'm afraid only they themselves can understand it. It's a 'cognitive talent' that is highly dependent on racial characteristics, just like some people are born with one more color vision cell than others, and ordinary people can't imagine what the world looks like in this situation no matter how much they understand the theory - the universe in the eyes of the Algrad people will always have more colors and sounds than that of other races... Anyway, we can only listen to what they say, after all, they can really predict many things by observing the night sky."
Yu Sheng listened thoughtfully and did not speak for a while.
Despite the lack of evidence, he felt that what he had just "heard" was not the same as the "whispering of the stars" described by the Algrad people in the legend.
He exhaled softly and looked up at the vast starry sky outside the viewing window.
In any case, what he felt in that brief moment of trance didn't seem to contain any danger or malice.
New data and graphics popped up on the holographic projection nearby. The assisted driving system was reporting the current position and status of the spacecraft, and indicated that the jump preparations had been completed.
"We are about to make a jump," Yu Sheng reminded, "There may be some shocks when entering and exiting hyperspace, so sit tight in your seat."
Irene, who was wandering around the hall, jumped back in an instant, jumped onto the chair on the other side of Yu Sheng and sat down, then followed Yu Sheng's example and turned on the safety lock function of the seat.
However, the safety locks on both sides of her seat only extended outwards, and a line of red words popped up on the holographic projection in front of the armrest: "Warning, no occupants detected, safety locks cannot be closed - please take a seat as soon as possible."
The little doll, who was sitting in the middle of the chair with an excited look on his face, waiting for the spacecraft to jump into action, was stunned for a moment, looking at the glaring prompt message with a dull expression.
Two seconds later, the little thing flew into a rage: "Fuck this thing..."
In just a moment, the man who designed this chair lost his ancestors, all his relatives and friends, and even the neighbor's dog couldn't save his parents...
Seeing this, Yu Sheng quickly reached out and picked up the little doll from the chair, and threw it to the fox girl on the other side: "You hold her."
Hu Li said "oh" and held the still fragrant little doll in his arms. Irene obviously felt that this was a bit embarrassing and struggled hard on the spot - but Yu Sheng knew the strength of the Nine-tailed Fox's hands. The two skinny little arms were like a vice when closed together. Irene fluttered in Hu Li's arms for two times and then stopped moving, and began to lie there in dejection...
The ship-wide broadcast began to warn of the jump, and a moment later, the phase engine started.
This was the first time Yu Sheng started this thing.
He felt a huge amount of energy pouring into the power array, and the phase engine instantly swallowed up nearly one-third of the ship's energy output like a black hole. Then he heard an illusory "boom" sound, and the entire spacecraft seemed to shake violently in the real universe, and then lost its mass and entity, and "fell" into a space bubble enclosed by warped space.
The starlight outside the viewing window suddenly twisted, blurred, and stretched infinitely. In this infinite stretch, the stars turned into an endless tunnel that could not be captured or distinguished by the naked eye. Then even the tunnel disappeared. Outside the Hotel Alien was only a spectrum that gradually changed from red to blue - the entire observable universe was compressed in this thin curtain of light that surrounded the spacecraft.
The artificial gravity in the hall failed briefly and then gradually recovered.
Irene, who was being held in Hu Li's arms, seemed to have forgotten the sadness she had just felt. The little doll opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at the wonderful red and blue light film outside the viewing window that seemed to have compressed countless stars, and slowly opened her mouth: "...Wow!"
Luna sat behind Yu Sheng. She also raised her head slightly. The light and shadow of the hyperspace were reflected on the alloy shell of this artificial saint. After a long while, she uttered a soft exclamation: "Very, beautiful."
"Uncle Master, it seems to be going smoothly," Xuan Che whispered to Master Yuan Hao, "and the big spaceship is quite stable, much more stable than the small shuttle I took last time."
Yuan Hao thought for a moment and said, "My immortal boat broke down once, when I was entering the transition phase..."
As a result, just as the old handsome guy started to speak, Irene next to him glared at him and said, "Shut up!"
Yuan Hao Zhenren felt a little regretful: "I still have a long story to tell."
Yu Sheng heard the conversations around him, but he didn't say anything.
He was still sitting in the captain's seat, but at this moment, most of his mind and perception were on the Hotel Transylvania - highly synchronized with the ship, breathing with it, moving forward with it, and immersed in this "hyperspace" that transcends the material universe and exceeds the critical speed of light.
In a trance, he felt as if his perception had surpassed his body, even surpassed the steel body of the ship. He felt that he was traveling through the stars in an instant, wandering in a more essential and "basic" "structure layer" of this world.
He didn't know if this was normal, or how different it was from the world seen by the Algrad people - because there was probably no other person in the world like him who could observe the physical universe at superluminal speed, synchronously with a spacecraft in a transition state.
The rapidly flowing starlight flowed under his feet. Yu Sheng looked around among the stars and saw two faint lights in the endless distance. They seemed to be the oldest celestial bodies in the universe, shining brightly in the depths of the stars.
He saw another strange star. The star and its planetary system were located in a corner of a distant galaxy, hidden in the shadow of dust clouds. At regular intervals, the star would turn into a strange pink color.
He also saw quasars exploding at the boundary of a gravitational rift. Brilliant flashes of light and violent energy releases filled a space of several light seconds. An inexplicable "information" directly popped into his mind, and he learned the name of this spectacular sight - the Big Bang.
Weird name.
There were many strange and short-lived thoughts flowing in Yu Sheng's mind. From time to time, he would hear messages from the stars and understand some inexplicable "knowledge" that was not polluting but seemed useless.
Then he stopped again in a starry sky, and in the depths of the starlight, he saw some tiny "flashes" again.
Those flashes are like "footnotes" on the foundation of the world, shining brightly in the cosmic background radiation.
Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, and tried to reach out his "hand" to touch the "information clusters" that permeated the cosmic background radiation.
New information poured directly into his mind. He "saw" an illusory flame rising, and the flame was filled with starlight. The starlight whispered to him, telling him some secrets somewhere in this universe -
"This section of the law depends on this bug to run, don't move."
Yu Sheng withdrew his "hand" in an instant.
"……?"
