I spend the last days exploring the Puerto Rico system.
The Neutron Star in the center of the system is fascinating.

Not only that, I was able to gather some extremely valuable and interesting information that has enabled me to make a breakthrough in my research.

Due to the extreme amount of mass, which occurs so concentrated on one point, it is able to bend the gravitation in such a confuse way I really can't describe it.
This neutron star is able to create up to a few suns worth of mass at its surface. The gravitational pull from this massive amount of mass will destroy any ship that would try to enter the area around the neutron star.
But there are several things about this neutron star I found interesting, not least because they might be related to the events in this very system.

But with this knowledge, I was able to build a device that creates something similar to a neutron star.
It doesn't exactly make a neutron star, but is able to change the gravitation similarly with the use of energy.
By forcing the gravitation to form a kind of bubble around the ship, it bends the surrounding space in itself.
This moves the ship across the space until the bubble collapses, and the ship is released somewhere unpredictable.

To store the amount of energy i not only used to power of the ships' reactor, I also store energy in batteries which I fill before.
I tried to get an allowance from the government to test it but till this day I am waiting for a response... but I needed to try it... so I did.

That was the best thing I have ever done in my life!

It worked better than anything I have ever seen or heard of. It moved the ship over a hundred light years in less than ten minutes!

But of course it came at a price. The batteries were empty after two jumps. Specially since the jump drive consumes energy faster than the batteries can refill them.

I don't know how much longer this device will work, but if it does, I will be able to move further away from the starting location and explore more systems.

This was a huge leap forward to complete project New Horizon!

But the next goal is to predict where ill come out.
Maybe if I somehow adjust the gravitation around the ship to a gravitation somewhere else in space, I can maybe force the ship to jump somewhere near that point.
But for this I need a device able to measure the gravity very accurate.

And this now when my savings are running low....

Anyway, let's see what the next weeks will bring.....
