29 585 times the speed of light
The personnel on the frigate used for the test are also very nervous now. After all, this is the first test. If something goes wrong, the whole crew will be finished.
"Beep beep.. start test, target earth orbit."
"Yes, the coordinates have been imported and the energy is being imported into the curvature engine!"
"The curvature engine is activated, ready to jump!"
"Beep beep.. Jump!"
"Understood, jump!"
The driver looked at his right hand on the jump lever, gritted his teeth, and pulled it down suddenly!
The people who were observing on the scientific research ship at the moment suddenly found that the battleship in front of them suddenly distorted and disappeared instantly.
"Quick, check the data!"
"Yes, Elder Bai!"
A group of experts began to get busy.
"Old Bai, the experimental ship has been confirmed on Earth... The appearance of the experimental ship is intact!"
"What? So fast? Contact the experimental ship immediately and ask them to report the ship's timer."
"clear!"
At the same time, in the earth's orbit, the people in the bridge of the experimental ship are collectively confused, especially the pilot.
I go, I just blinked my eyes unconsciously when I pulled down the jump rod, and when I opened it again, the earth was in front of me? 200 million kilometers, how long does it take to blink?
"Beep beep.. the experimental ship, please answer when you hear it, and please answer when you hear it."
"This is an experimental ship, we have arrived in Earth orbit, and everyone is safe!"
"Okay, great, immediately check the transition data collector installed in the bridge and see what the number is on it."
"Yes... the number above is 1.14!"
"What? 1.14? Are you sure you read it right?"
"Report, absolutely correct, it is indeed 1.14!"
The crew didn't understand what this 1.14 meant, but the experts on the research ship over Mars could fry the pot.
1.14, that is the time record of the entire transition. From Mars to Earth, the current distance is 200 million kilometers. What is the concept of 1.14 seconds?
585 times the speed of light, you must know that the way of the stars is only 3 times the speed of light, this has increased the speed of human interstellar travel by nearly 200 times, and can ignore the way of stars, and can directly jump anywhere.
"Old Bai, what happened? What does 1.14 mean?"
"Lin Zhen looked at the hundreds of experts who looked like crazy, and couldn't help but ask Bai Lao!"
"President Lin, 1.14 seconds, the distance from Mars to Earth is 200 million kilometers. It took you a few days to come here, right? But just now our experimental ship completed 200 million kilometers in just 1.14 seconds. Do you know what speed this is? 585 times the speed of light, hahaha!”
Lin was stunned. He himself just flew to Mars from the earth, and it took more than 3 days.
But now Bai Zixuan actually told him that the experimental ship only took 1.14 seconds? 585 times the speed of light?
At this moment, he finally understood why the hundreds of experts in front of him became so crazy!
"Old Bai, when will this curvature engine be mass-produced and refurbished for the fleet?"
Just as anxious as Lin Zhen was Liang Xingchen, what he cared about was when the fleet would be ready for deployment, but just as he asked, he was met with scorned eyes from Bai Zixuan!
"What are you thinking, kid, do you think the new equipment will be finished with just one try? Can you ensure safety? I tell you, at least tens of thousands of tests are required, and then you can confirm whether the safety meets the standard and whether it can be batched. Production, and finally the installation, don’t even think about it in 2 or 3 years!”
"Uh, it's okay, we have 7 years now, 2 or 3 years is still affordable."
As soon as I heard Bai Zixuan say at least 2,
In 3 years, Liang Xingchen was still a little disappointed, but then he remembered that there is now a 7-year truce, and 2-3 years are still affordable.
It's a pity that Lin Fan on the side didn't think so. After all, the system had already reminded him that it would only take a year at most to start the war again.
Half an hour later, under Bai Zixuan's order, the experimental ship jumped again and returned to Mars, and the time was still 1.14 seconds.
This allowed all the experts to finally determine the speed of the first-generation Curvature Engine, 585 times the speed of light.
This is a terrifying speed. For example, the solar system is about 4.22 light-years away from the neighboring star system. At a federal speed of 3000 kilometers per second, it will take about 1000 years to reach it.
If anyone takes the way of the stars, it can be reached in about 17 months.
Today, with the curvature engine, 585 times the speed of light can be reached in less than 3 days. How big of an improvement is this?
Whether in the civilian field or the military field, the curvature engine will bring explosive development to mankind.
The results of this test have brought great confidence to the top officials of the Federation. Lin Zhen has decided to call all his staff to revise the future policies significantly when he goes back. Many things that he did not dare to think about and do not dare to do before can be taken out and re-discussed. for a moment.
After the first experiment was over, Bai Zixuan immediately led people to start building new curvature engines. This time, ten units were built at one time to speed up the test.
Don't look at Bai Zixuan being so arrogant to Liang Xingchen. In fact, Bai Zixuan is even more anxious than him. He will start construction immediately after he returns, and strive to complete the safety test within a year.
Half a month later, ten new curvature engines were completed, and Liang Xingchen also cooperated very well, and directly transferred 1 battle cruiser, 1 aircraft carrier, 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and 2 frigates to Bai Zixuan, so as to proceed. Full ship test.
Although the progress on the curvature engine side is very gratifying, the energy shield project is somewhat troublesome.
The full set of technology is available, so why bother? Because the energy can't keep up, the continuous consumption of the shield requires a lot of energy. However, the energy provided by the nuclear reactors on the battleship now cannot match the continuous consumption of the shield.
Simply put, the recharge rate is slower than the consumption rate, so after the shield is on for a while, it will not last because the recharge rate cannot keep up.
This is still under normal circumstances. If in battle, not only the energy required to maintain the shield, but also the energy required to defend against the attack, as far as the current nuclear reactor is concerned, let alone.
As for the nuclear fusion reactor, sorry, even if this thing has been in the federation for 58 years, it still cannot be completed, and the key technology still cannot be broken through.
However, Lin Fan didn't care about all this. Right now, he was holding his future eldest wife in his room.
"Have you had enough hugs? I still have something to do, so let go!"
"You can loosen it up, this way!"
Lin Fan pointed to his mouth and said to Liang Xue.
"You... woo... woo"
Unfortunately, before he could say anything, Lin Fan blocked him.
Liang Xue immediately widened her eyes with disbelief, and pushed Lin Fan a few times.
But what kind of physique does Lin Fan have? How could the body strengthened by the gene-enhancing potion be something that Liang Xue could push. After a while, Liang Xue's hands drooped down in resignation.
It wasn't until 2 minutes later that Lin Fan let her go. At this time, Liang Xue's face was completely red, and she turned around and ran away.
"It's so cute!"
Seeing Liang Xue fleeing, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.
