Wormhole travel is indeed powerful, but it also requires prerequisites, namely, reconnaissance of the space at the other end of the wormhole must be thorough, and the spatial coordinates of the other side must be known. Only then can two different spaces be connected.
If the situation on the other side is not understood and the spatial coordinates are unknown, the wormhole cannot be created. Even if the wormhole is forcibly created, errors may occur due to hostile environmental conditions on the other side; collapse might happen during wormhole travel, causing the warship to disintegrate in unknown spacetime.
Furthermore, compared to curvature navigation, the creation and initiation of a wormhole require substantial energy support, which ordinary warships simply cannot provide, thus they cannot open the wormhole. Additionally, the warship entering the wormhole will suffer tremendous tidal forces. If the hull's strength is insufficient, it could be torn into pieces by tidal forces, leaving no remains.
The most challenging part of crossing a wormhole is the throat area between the two loudspeakers, mathematically referred to as the saddle point in the center of a hyperbolic surface, where the tidal forces are strongest. According to calculations by human scientists in the universe, to safely traverse the saddle point of a wormhole, its diameter must be at least 10 light years. To form such a massive wormhole, you would need the immense energy from thousands of star systems, yet even then it might not take shape.
Cosmic humans in the past forcibly opened a wormhole and escaped to the unfamiliar Solar System, not because they had the energy of thousands of star systems, but because they were chased by Super Titans and had no choice but to take a desperate risk. They used minimal energy to open a completely unfamiliar wormhole channel and luckily crossed the saddle point of the wormhole. Even so, the space fortress of cosmic humans became heavily damaged during the wormhole travel, which prevented them from defeating even the chimpanzee civilization that had just entered the universe, leading to their downfall in the Solar System...
Because wormhole travel technology has such enormous limitations, although everyone knows that wormhole travel is also a method of faster-than-light travel and can even be used within a stellar system, no one dares to take the risk of using such a travel method. So in the universe, unless absolutely necessary, people will choose curvature navigation to travel and abandon wormhole travel technology.
Yan Fei's drone carrier does not have curvature navigation capability but possesses wormhole creation technology, allowing it to quickly appear in another space through wormhole travel, achieving faster-than-light flight. Originally, the energy needed to create a wormhole was extremely large, which the drone's current energy could not support. However, the drone carrier's energy block is a mutated super energy block, which reduces consumption considerably when used to create wormholes. Therefore, although the drone carrier's energy block is limited, it can still create a passable wormhole.
More importantly, the hull structure of Yan Fei's drone carrier is amazingly engineered, capable of resisting the enormous tidal forces within the wormhole, ensuring 100% safe passage for itself. Thus, Yan Fei's drone carrier can not only create a wormhole with minimal energy but also safely travel through it. With such capabilities, Yan Fei can guarantee wormhole travel anytime and anywhere within the Solar System.
Having previously launched quantum satellites, Yan Fei has already gathered almost all spatial intelligence within three light years of Earth. When he inputs this data into the drone carrier's wormhole creation system, the system automatically generates a three-dimensional spatial grid with a radius of three light years, including some dark areas.
Once Yan Fei focuses on any lit space position, the spatial coordinate of that position instantly appears. As long as this spatial coordinate meets all the requirements for opening a wormhole, it turns green, indicating Yan Fei can open a wormhole between the two points.
Yan Fei was previously occupied with building Mars and had no time to try wormhole travel technology. Now, as the situation within the Solar System is back on track, Yan Fei can take a breather and explore outside the Solar System to see what the real universe looks like. With a plan for a trip already in mind, Yan Fei informed Lu Pingping, then left Earth again, returned to the drone carrier, and prepared for his journey outside the Solar System.
Yan Fei opened the drone carrier's wormhole creation system and observed the spatial coordinates where wormholes can be created. These spatial coordinates began from the airspace where the drone is located, expanding outward spherically, extending beyond the Solar System and into the cosmic vacuum three light years away from Earth. As numerous quantum satellites continue to quickly fly outward, at nearly the speed of light, they continually detect new spatial data, allowing the drone carrier's range for creating wormholes to rapidly expand outward.
Yan Fei chose a space coordinate 2.5 light years away in the system and initiated wormhole creation technology for the first time. He saw the energy block of the drone carrier rapidly decrease, and under the influence of mysterious power, the space ahead of the drone carrier began to ripple and distort. Connected closely with the drone carrier, Yan Fei felt as though he was underwater, experiencing difficulty in breathing and his vision becoming blurry, unable to see clearly...
