Idealogy 4109. When knowledge changed humanity

Sudhir activated electromagnets, maximized their values and introduced the spatial displacement formula into the program on a touch-screen monitor. The upper and lower parts of the collider began to move faster, which was making the collider glow slightly with a violet-blue color.

CHARLIE HOLLAND

– Andrew, what are the indicators?

ANDREW SCOTT

– The indicators are normal. The purification of dark energy from impurities has begun. The reaction is currently stable.

CHARLIE HOLLAND

– Ruslan, bring energy to the maximum.

On his touch-screen monitor Ruslan raised the level of energy, supplied to the collider to ten thousand gigaelectron-volts. A minute later, a dark substance began to grow from the edge of the structure to the center. Another minute passed, and the dark substance merged in the center and took a stable etheric form.

RUSLAN NIKOLAEVICH

– Pure dark energy received.

ANDREW SCOTT

– The reaction is stable, we are holding it.

Applause was heard at the FCC. Billions of viewers watched the launch of the collider and the creation of pure dark energy. Charlie Holland introduced the coordinates of the solar system «Alpha Centauri S» on his 3D model of the Universe. With the help of shunting engines the collider made an adjustment. Shuttle pilots also made a small adjustment to the trajectory.

CHARLIE HOLLAND

– FCC, this is IOS. Coordinates entered. I’m waiting for a command to start spatial movement.

RICH RUDIGER

– IOS, roger that. The data received and verified. Hold on.

Rich turned to the VIP box side and looked for Peter Pachus. Their eyes met and Peter Pachus nodded his head.

RICH RUDIGER

– IOS, this is FCC. Permission granted.

CHARLIE HOLLAND

– FCC, roger that.

Charlie said a prayer and pressed the «Shift» button on his touch screen. The shuttle team was watching while the viscous substance froze. A glow appeared from the center, it gradually grew, became brighter and moved to the edges. After some time, the crew of the shuttle could observe the distorted projection of the yellow star «Alpha Centauri S» and one of the exoplanets, as well as the outer space surrounding them. The objects were extended in width, length and connected in the center.

CHARLIE HOLLAND

– That's crazy! Rich, do you see it?

RICH RUDIGER

– Yes.

Billions of people, watching the creation of a tunnel for spatial movement, were stunned by what they saw.

CHARLIE HOLLAND

– Indicators?

ANDREW SCOTT

– Normal.

CHARLIE HOLLAND

– FCC, this is IOS. The spatial tunnel is stable, you can launch the shuttle. Wish the team a great journey from us.

RICH RUDIGER

– Be sure, I will. IOS, great job!

CHARLIE HOLLAND

– Thank you.

Rich switched the communication channel from IOS to the shuttle.

RICH RUDIGER

– Terry, come in.

TERRY TAYLOR

– Receiving you, Rich.

RICH RUDIGER

– The spatial tunnel is open, MCC and MOS give the permission for entry.

The crew was observing with excitement the formation of the spatial tunnel in front of them.

TERRY TAYLOR

– Yes, I’ve already understood that it is open. Got you, FCC, we are starting the entrance.

Terry pushed forward the thrust levers of the main engines of the shuttle and the ship slowly moved towards the spatial tunnel. His actions were watched by workers and guests of the FCC, astronauts of the International Space Agency, guests of the «Babylon» space launching complex and billions of people around the globe. The captain looked at the distance to the entrance. It was slowly contracting and stepped over a mark of 100 meters.
