55. Teleportation
The word "stereotyped" is appropriate for Shen Yun, and it is even more appropriate for soldiers who are not smiling. Compared with other soldiers, Cao Fang is a little easy-going, but it is really difficult for him to enter the fairy tale world of a little girl and extend his imagination into a childish story. However, he was trying to adjust himself to keep up with the pace of Shen Yun, the "ground man", and of course Shen Yun's pace was not difficult to follow.
Listening to Shen Yun's description of the optical flow shuttle, Cao Fang was stunned for a moment, and had an urge to say "yes", but in the end he held back and continued to say seriously: "From your visual point of view, the optical flow shuttle seems to fall from the sky, in fact, even if its travel mode is teleportation, there is still an air light track. ”
"Where's the light track?" was struggling with this question, Cao Fang took the initiative to mention it, and she hurriedly looked up at the bright electromagnetic wave network.
Cao Fang's answer confirmed her guess: "The light track is built from those pillars erected around the tarmac. Officially known as electromagnetic signal transceiver towers, they can both receive destination notification signals from other transceiver towers to ensure the smooth arrival of shuttles, and can also send forecasts to inform the intended shuttles of the current traffic conditions in the area and arrange take-off and landing schedules for them. The ground aviation transportation hub port has been spread all over every city on the continent of light, becoming the most important means of transportation for intercontinental navigation, since the trial voyage, there has not been any major traffic accidents, every moment, the shuttle is in an orderly manner, coupled with its dreamy crystal shape, you pretend to be Cinderella's carriage, is a very appropriate metaphor. ”
In the end, Cao Fangzhen made a comment on Shen Yun's imagination, and the way was extremely natural. Shen Yun's face flushed, a little uneasy because of the impulsive gaffe just now. If this shuttle is the crystal carriage that Cinderella rides, then Cao Fang, who opened the door for her, has not become the prince in the fairy tale? A voice in her subconscious was saying that this was not true.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Cao Fang didn't say much, took out a gentlemanly demeanor again, stepped forward to open the manned cabin door, and asked Shen Yun to board the plane, but she hesitated and didn't dare to raise her feet.
A ground aircraft capable of teleportation, even if it doesn't reach the speed of light, should be very close. The speed of light can only be achieved in a vacuum, unless the mass of the object is zero, is the shuttle really a mass of light? How could she sit in a zero-mass nothingness...... If I had to find a word to describe it, nothingness would be the best fit...... On the fly? She thought it might be easier to step on the clouds and go up to the sky.
After waiting for a while, seeing that she was still standing still, Cao Fang had to urge: "It's not too early, I'm afraid that Head Xie is already in a hurry, let's go quickly." If you have any questions that you don't understand, I'll explain them to you after boarding. ”
Do you really want to walk into strange objects that ordinary people can't imagine? Shen Yun was so nervous that she was like hitting a bell, but she didn't dare to be a mother-in-law anymore, so she could only hold Cao Fang's arm and bow her head to the bright manned cabin.
The photon camouflage suit came to the touch, and Shen Yun seemed to be sitting on a soft sofa, a bit similar to the feeling of the first class cabin of an airplane. Unlike the plane, there were no signs around the seat reminding passengers to fasten their seatbelts, and as soon as she sat down, a band of light crossed from under the chair and held her waist and shoulders in place.
The light belt is the safety belt in the optical flow shuttle, which not only has no sense of restraint, but can also flexibly change its length and elasticity with the body posture. Shen Yun touched it with her hands, and what was produced was completely physical touch. She estimated that the temperature in the cabin must have been set close to absolute zero, but she was isolated by the magnetic field emitted by the camouflage uniform, and she could not experience the kind of cold that the human body could not bear.
Cao Fang also sat in and quickly closed the hatch, Shen Yun noticed that the hatch belonged to the air pressure type, and when it was opened and closed, there was a swirling air flow as white as steam, presumably to protect the low temperature environment in the cabin by the convection effect, preventing the intersection of cold and hot air inside and outside.
Next, the optical flow shuttle mechanism and driving principle introduced by Cao Fang are the same as Shen Yun thought, if you don't wear a military uniform, what you feel when you touch the shuttle fuselage with your hand is just an invisible light cluster, and only when you sit in, everything will become a real existence.
Shen Yun looked behind her, wanting to confirm whether the space that Cao Fang said was equivalent to the passenger capacity of ten Boeing 747 airliners was real, but behind her was a complete light screen, like a glowing mirror, reflecting her full image, as for the large-capacity passenger space, there was no possibility of existence at all.
Cao Fang was still sitting in the driver's seat, holding two silver-gray metal handles with both hands. The left shank is marked with an arrow, which represents the direction. The right shank is marked with a numerical scale to represent speed. In fact, even an ordinary jeep is equipped with an intelligent control system, not to mention the optical flow shuttle, which should not need to be manually operated by the driver throughout the process. But Cao Fang rarely leaves tasks to the AI, he is happy to go into battle himself, and the fantasy feeling of being able to teleport to the destination when the handle falls, no matter how many times he enjoys it, he doesn't feel much.
Before the shuttle started, Shen Yun took one last look outside. The military jeep in which she had been riding for nearly 10 hours had long since disappeared, and Ms. Cao said it was sent to a nearby garage by the RAND 2.
Due to the nature of the shuttle's solid-state light, the exterior view is distorted by the refraction of light when viewed from the inside out.
Shen Yun sat on the seat and looked out, her head-up view turned into a "top-down view", the shuttle did not rise, but the tarmac moved to her feet, and then she could see clearly that in addition to the giant disc under her feet, every other circle of green light isolation belt that imitated the lawn, there was another tarmac shining brightly. The discs were like cakes spread on the ground into the depths of the tunnel, and it was hard to tell if there were five of them with the eyes alone. She effortlessly read out the meaning of the curved red line in the middle of the tarmac, which was written in red paint: ATTENTION.
Before takeoff, the voice of the AI on the shuttle sounded, a gentle woman: welcome the two to the Streamer 7 ground air shuttle. We are about to enter the second level of the light world, please adjust the gravity level in the aircraft to the level corresponding to your tolerance to avoid unnecessary danger. Thank you. ”
The overweight generated when moving over the speed limit is also what Shen Yun is worried about. Although she didn't know how to calculate the correct number, she expected that if she didn't lose weight in the cabin, she and Cao Fang, two mortal people with physical bodies, would be crushed into meat patties at the moment of takeoff.
She was curious about how Cao Fang controlled gravity, but before she could notice, he had already pulled the pneumatic handle.
There was no discomfort, only a slight vibration of the seat, the images in the cabin blurred and staggered moments, and the shuttle, which seemed to have not really moved, returned to a standstill, and Cao Fang said to her: "It's here." ”
"Arrived? Where? Shen Yun was inexplicable. Seeing her like this, the corners of Cao Fang's mouth rose, and he laughed softly again.
