Chapter 40: Haste
Even Gong Zimeng, who has a very little knowledge of scientific and technological products, has a certain understanding of interstellar shuttle and warp engine after living in human society for a few days. This is mainly due to the enthusiasm of human beings for interstellar exploration, for the purpose of understanding the situation, Gong Zimeng will watch the news for a certain period of time every day, and the news channel of Chu Yuesheng's family, in addition to the internal affairs of Mars, the most reported news is actually all kinds of news related to interstellar exploration. For example, human beings have imprinted footprints on a new planet or astral body, or human beings have made new breakthroughs in interstellar exploration.
Although human civilization has been stuck in the field of low warp speed for a long time, and there has been no major breakthrough for a long time, in fact, human beings have never given up research in this area. As long as the effort is deep, the iron pestle can also be sharpened into a needle, even if there are no important research results, but some corners and corners, in fact, there are a lot of research.
If it weren't for these small results of self-comfort, perhaps humanity would not have been able to maintain such a large investment in the study of interstellar navigation. Isn't this how the human technology tree is pieced together, many major research results are actually discovered by accident, as long as the research continues, just like the quantum barrier runs through, maybe when the threshold of civilization advancement will be crossed.
Thanks to the unremitting enthusiasm of human beings for interstellar navigation, Gongzimeng has a fairly clear understanding of the interstellar navigation ability of human beings today.
Not to mention the warp engine used on the official starship, anyway, it is like that, life and death cannot reach ten times the speed of light. However, in terms of miniaturization, the accumulation of human science and technology is even more barren. Probably because the practicality is not very strong, human research on space high-speed engines and even warp speed engines is still basically in the stage of yard bricks. Until now, human small vehicles have been confined to the atmosphere, on the surface of planets, and even if they have the ability to break free from the gravitational pull of planets and enter space, it is not necessary. Because the speed is so slow, even such a short distance from Mars to Earth takes several months, and there is no hope of flying out of the solar system across the Kuiper Belt, so it has no practical use value at all. Obviously, if a single-player version of the interstellar vehicle can be launched, this is definitely a super blue ocean market that can create countless billionaires, but the huge loopholes in technology have made mankind almost nothing in this field, although it is slightly embarrassing, but it can also highlight the helplessness of the current situation of mankind.
Although it has been catching up, it is still too late for mankind to start, compared with those front-row civilizations that have already entered the interstellar era, there are too many shortcomings, and if you want to catch up with or even surpass those civilizations, this is not something that can be achieved by the efforts of a generation, and it takes a hundred years, or even a thousand years, to carry out detailed planning.
The power of technology gathered on this hovercar is enough to defy all the efforts that humans have made over the centuries to miniaturize the warp engine.
But after all, Gong Zimeng is on the mysterious side, and the things on the technology side, no matter how powerful they are, have little to do with her. Besides, all roads lead to Rome, whether it is magic or technology, and the development to the ultimate form is almost the same. The path of magic that Gong Zimeng has taken is a path that has been walked a long time ago, and there are many experiences that can be used for reference. If she didn't also want to find a path of her own, and didn't want to survive in the budding shadow of her predecessors, she could transform her cultivation method at any time, embark on the fast track of cultivation, and then become a shadow-like existence of her predecessors—and this was not what she wanted.
Something like superluminal interstellar travel, in fact, the mysterious side is also similar magic, but Gong Zimeng's strength is not in place, and there is no way to carry out accurate ultra-long-distance interstellar teleportation. As long as she can achieve the taboo, interstellar travel within the same galaxy and between stars is nothing more than a matter of magic array. Compared with the mysterious side, although the technology side is more versatile, there are too many preparations in the early stage, highlighting the strength of the group rather than the individual power, which is not suitable for civilizations like the Blue Moon Protoss that have strong individual strength but not a large population.
Next, Nitori introduced a lot of new abilities for hovercars, but they are basically the personal interests of an activist, and as far as Miyako Dream is concerned, those functions are all garbage functions that are useless, and even if she adds the kind she will never use.
No, a hovercar, can you get that rubber cucumber launcher? Also, I'm a hovercar, it's a car! It's not a car farm, throw that cucumber petri dish away for me, immediately, right away! If you send me sprouts, I can understand, you send cucumbers? I see your head looks like a cucumber......
Although he didn't say it, Gong Zimeng's heart was actually complaining frantically. However, she also knows that the kappa clan seems to have an unimaginable attachment to cucumbers, whether it is the logo at the door of the store or the ornaments in the house, all of which show that the kappa clan is a kappa. Miyako even suspected that Lottori's backpack was full of cucumbers all the time, and there might not be many places to really put tools.
Because the things in the back have no nutrition, all of them are cucumbers and cucumbers, and Gong Zimeng directly emptied his brain, and put the words of the lotus into the left ear and out of the right ear, and didn't listen to it at all. On the contrary, Yuki, who had just been looking left and right in the store, was gradually attracted by the description full of cucumber flavor and showed great interest.
In fact, Yuki was interested in hovercars, you must know that in her time, human hovercars still needed to be hung with propellers, and each fan was almost the size of the body itself. Now the hovercars outside can already travel in space like spaceships, which is really a big improvement.
When he saw that he had an audience, he suddenly spoke more energetically. Speaking of which, she didn't even notice that Gong Zimeng had taken two steps back and ceded the space to these two women, who were all interested in cucumbers.
In this way, Gong Zimeng, who originally planned to pick up the car and leave, was stunned and delayed in the store for nearly forty minutes. Gongzimeng felt that this was outrageous, but Yuki looked like he couldn't get enough of it.
When he picked up the car and left, Nitori even gave Yuki some small souvenirs with a strong kappa technology imprint for free. For example, the compression capsule containing the life-sustaining device in it will immediately generate a safe house completely isolated from the outside world as soon as it is opened, and it is resistant to radiation, high and low temperatures, high and low pressures, even in the space environment. Another example is a hand-held ejector, as long as you don't take it off, you can be carried up by the injector's reverse thrust...... If these two things don't look like cucumbers, they're actually quite interesting gadgets. But after seeing the appearance of these two things, Miyazimeng immediately lost any interest in this kind of free giveaway.
Flying around in the sky with a cucumber in his hand? A person who can do that without changing his face definitely has a problem with his head.
After taking the hovercar, Miyako Meng took Yuki out of the city directly. The population on the Blue Moon Star is still not enough, as long as you leave the town and the road, it will soon be an uninhabited wilderness. Coupled with the strong vegetation coverage in the Elven Kingdom area, they soon came to the vicinity of a small forest.
Miyako Meng took out the hovercar from her exclusive space, opened the driver's door and sat in. Yuki also got in from the other side, and subconsciously turned his head to the right to look for the strap of the seat belt, but of course he didn't find anything.
In Yuki's time, it was still a human who drove a car, and it was easy to get into an accident. Now, the driving of the vehicle is controlled by the intelligent program of the on-board computer, even if someone deliberately takes the intelligent program offline and manually operates it themselves, the intelligent program of other vehicles can also quickly identify the danger and quickly dodge. All in all, except for some very special circumstances, the probability of an accident with a hovering vehicle is infinitely close to zero. Since there will be no accidents, safety measures such as seat belts and airbags can be saved.
Gong Zimeng didn't even know what Yuki was doing, she saw that Yuki was sitting firmly, so she slapped the directional ball, activated the magnetic levitation function that the directional ball came with, and also started the engine of the hovering car.
As if it had been ejected, the hovercar rushed out with a bang, and after a half-arc in mid-air, it went straight up into the sky.
The strong feeling of pushing the back directly pressed the two passengers in the hovering car to the seat, Gongzimeng had already squinted his eyes, and his hands were firmly pressed on the direction ball suspended in the cage frame, and he tried his best to master the overpowered hovercar, and his ears automatically filtered the surprised shouts of Yuki beside him.
The acceleration of this hovering car before was already amazing, Chu Yuesheng sat and vomited once, and vomited several times in a row before he slowly became familiar with it. But compared to the current starting speed, it was as docile as a lamb before.
This is a propulsion that completely exceeds the limits of human bearing, and when the engine of this hovercar was transformed, it is estimated that he did not consider the problem of ordinary people riding at all, and directly defaulted to all passengers as extraordinary people with strong physical fitness.
And when Miyako Meng was concentrating on driving, she didn't notice at all, and Yuki's mood sitting next to her also became high. She loves speed, especially this super speed. After the initial surprise, she immediately fell in love with the uncontrollable speed.
Her gaze couldn't help but drift to the direction ball under Gongzi Meng's hand, and she licked her lips quietly.
This car, it seems to be faster than her, I really want to drive it.
