029 585 times the speed of light
The personnel on the frigate used for the test are also very nervous now, after all, it is the first test, and if something happens, it will be all over.
"Beep beep.. Start of testing, target Earth orbit. ”
"Yes, the coordinates have been entered, and the energy is being imported into the curvature engine!"
"The curvature engine is on, ready to jump!"
"Beep beep.. Jump! ”
"Understood, Jump!"
The driver looked at his right hand holding on the jump lever, gritted his teeth, and pulled it down suddenly!
At this moment, everyone who was observing on the scientific research ship suddenly found that the battleship in front of them suddenly twisted and disappeared in an instant.
"Quick, test the data!"
"Yes, Bai Lao!"
The experts got busy.
"Bai Lao, the experimental ship has been confirmed on the other side of the earth... The appearance of the experimental ship is intact! ”
"What? So fast? Contact the experimental ship immediately and have them report the timer on board. ”
"Understood!"
At the same time, in the earth's orbit, the personnel in the bridge of the experimental ship at this moment were collectively confused, especially the pilot.
I'm going, I'm just blinking my eyes unconsciously when I pull down the jump pole, and when I open it again, it's the earth in front of me? 200 million kilometers, just blink an eye?
"Beep beep.. The experimental ship hears please answer, hears please answer. ”
"This is the experimental ship, we have reached the earth's orbit, and all of us are unharmed!"
"Okay, great, take a look at the jump data collector installed in the bridge and see what the numbers are."
"It's... The number above is 1.14! ”
"What? 1.14? Are you sure you read that right? ”
"Report, absolutely not mistaken, it is indeed 1.14!"
The crew didn't understand what 1.14 meant, but the experts on the research ship on Mars didn't know what it was.
1.14 Ah, that's the time record of the entire jump, 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, which increases the speed of human interstellar travel by nearly 200 times, and can ignore the way of the stars and jump directly anywhere.
"Bai Lao, what's going on? 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, and it took you a few days to come over this time, right? However, just now our experimental ship completed a 200 million kilometer span in only 1.14 seconds, do you know what speed this is? 585 times the speed of light, hahaha! ”
Lin was stunned, he had just flown to Mars from the other side of the earth, and it took more than 3 days.
However, 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 had become so crazy!
"Bai Lao, when will this curvature engine be mass-produced and reequipped for the fleet?"
Liang Xingchen was also as anxious as Lin Zhen, what he was concerned about was when the fleet could be installed, but as soon as he asked, he was met with Bai Zixuan's eyes!
"What do you kid think, you think you'll be done with a new equipment just once? Can it be safe? Let me tell you, at least 10,000 times to test, and then you can confirm whether the safety is up to standard, whether it can be mass-produced, and finally the assembly, you don't have to think about it for 2 or 3 years! ”
"Well, it's okay, it's okay, we have 7 years now, and we can still afford to wait for 2 or 3 years."
Liang Xingchen was still a little disappointed when he heard Bai Zixuan say that it would take at least 2 or 3 years, but then he remembered that there was now a 7-year truce, and he could still afford to wait for 2 or 3 years.
It's a pity that Lin Fan on the side doesn't think so, after all, the system has already reminded him that there is only one year at most before the war will start 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 experts to finalize the speed of the first generation of curvature engines, 585 times the speed of light.
This is a terrifying speed, for example, the solar system is about 4.22 light-years away from Proxima Centauri, and at a speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, it would take about 1,000 years to reach it.
If you follow the path of the stars, you can reach it in about 17 months.
Today, with the curvature engine, 585 times the speed of light, it takes less than 3 days to arrive. What a boost is that?
Whether in the civilian field or in the military field, the curvature engine will bring explosive development to mankind.
The results of this test have brought great confidence to the top level of the Federation, Lin Zhen has decided to go back and convene all his staff to drastically revise the future policy, and many things that he didn't dare to think about before can be taken out and reconsidered.
After the first experiment, Bai Zixuan immediately led people to bury their heads in the manufacture of new curvature engines, this time to build ten at a time to speed up the test.
Don't look at Bai Zixuan so scolding Liang Xingchen, in fact, Bai Zixuan is more anxious than him, and he will start construction as soon as he comes back, striving to completely complete the safety test within a year.
Half a month later, ten new curvature engines were completed, and Liang Xingchen was also very cooperative, and directly transferred 1 battle cruiser, 1 air carrier, 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and 2 frigates to Bai Zixuan for testing all types of ships.
While progress on the Curvature Engine side is very gratifying, the Energy Shield project is a bit of a problem.
When you have a full set of technologies, why bother? Because the energy can't keep up, the continuation of the shield needs to consume a lot of energy, but the energy that can be provided by the nuclear reactor on the battleship is not enough to cover the continuous consumption of the shield.
To put it simply, the recharge speed is slower than the consumption speed, so after the shield is open for a while, it will not be able to sustain because the recharge speed cannot keep up.
This is still under normal circumstances, if in battle, it is not only the energy required to maintain the shield, but also the energy consumed to defend against attacks, let alone the current nuclear reactor.
As for the nuclear fusion reactor, I'm sorry, even if this thing has been in the federation for 58 years, it still can't be put together, and the key technology still can't be broken through.
However, Lin Fan didn't care about all this, at this moment he was holding his future eldest wife in his room.
"Have you hugged enough, I still have something to deal with, let go quickly!"
"It's okay to let go, this way!"
Lin Fan pointed to his mouth and said to Liang Xue.
"You... Woo.. Woo"
It's a pity that before the words could be spoken, they were blocked by Lin Fan.
Liang Xue's eyes widened immediately, with a look of disbelief, and pushed Lin Fan a few times.
But what kind of physique is Lin Fan, how can a body strengthened by a genetic enhancement agent be pushed by Liang Xue, and not long after, Liang Xue's hands hung down like resignation.
It wasn't until 2 minutes later that Lin Fan let her go, and at this time, Liang Xue's face was completely red, and she turned around and fled directly.
"It's so cute!"
Looking at Liang Xue who fled in the wilderness, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.
