Chapter 44, Warp Engine
The outer space of Mars is very lively and prosperous, with huge space factories, space farms, space solar power stations, space cities, space ports and so on.
Everything is very well planned, giving people the feeling that they are always scattered, like a cloud in the void.
There are so many spaceships coming and going, making the whole of Mars look like a huge beehive, and the spaceships are like bees, up and down, swarming.
The spaceship that Qin Yi was riding soared into the sky from Mars, and soon entered the outer space of Mars, merging into the endless torrent of spaceships and flying towards the void in the distance.
With the increasing population and rapid development on this side of Mars, the outer space of Mars now has to implement space control, and all spaceships, aircraft, etc. need to be under the control of the space-time management bureau to be able to fly in outer space on Mars.
Qin Yi's spaceship has been flying into the depths of outer space on Mars, and soon came to a huge spaceship factory, which is currently one of the largest spaceship factories in Xinghan, affiliated to the Xinghan National Academy of Science, and can build all types of spaceships, including the dragon-class spaceship of the same level as the 'Emperor Wu of Han' spaceship.
In addition to the construction of various types of spaceships, it is also the place where the warp engine was built, and the first warp engine was built here.
"Time is running out~"
"I didn't expect the Kalochi people to find out that we were spying on them, once the 50 billion people are mobilized for war, and put aside their prejudices against each other, this technology and military power will swell rapidly, and it will take a lot of effort to defeat the Kalochi Star at that time."
Looking at the spaceship factory that was gradually getting bigger and bigger in the realization, Qin Yi also thought of the matter on the side of the Carloch Star.
Since the Kaloch side knew that there were aliens watching them, the entire planet had entered a state of war mobilization, and on the surface it seemed that it was still preparing for the Eleventh World War, but this was just an illusion.
"The manufacturing of warp engines is still too slow~"
Qin Yi couldn't help but shake his head slightly, the technology of the warp engine is not mature now, of course, the most important thing is that the strength on Xinghan's side is too weak.
The population is too small, and now it is only a population of just over 200 million, even if it is technologically advanced and has a huge spaceship group, but where the population base is, the strength is limited after all.
Soon, the spaceship that Qin Yi was riding was docked to the spaceship manufacturing factory and came to the warp engine manufacturing center.
The Warp Engine Manufacturing Center is a very empty area, this area was used to make the very core anti-gravity engine of the Dragon-class universe, and it is a very large room with several kilometers in length, width and height.
Now it seems very empty, and scientists and engineers are floating in this room, discussing with each other while busy.
In the middle of the room, a strange huge machine was more than 100 meters high, more than 100 meters long, and dozens of meters wide.
"How's it going?"
Qin Yi floated towards this engine lightly, and soon came to Ren Qing, Long Yuankong, and Yang Hongyan, the three of whom were the people in charge of the manufacture of this warp engine.
Ren Qing is the head of the field of materials science, Long Yuankong is the pioneer of the warp engine theory, and Yang Hongyan is a top scientist in the field of spacecraft core engines.
In order to manufacture this warp engine, the Xinghan National Academy of Science has mobilized more than 1 million scientists and engineers to participate in it, and it is regarded as a project of the century to study and conquer.
"How do you have time to come here?"
Ren Qing glanced at Qin Yi, and then focused his attention on the huge engine in front of him, and did not react because of Qin Yi's arrival.
Well, female scientists have a very big temper, and Qin Yi also ignores them.
"Come and see, the people on the planet of Carlo seem to have discovered our existence, and are engaged in an all-out war mobilization, and I will see when our warp engine will be ready."
Qin Yi touched his nose and said.
"It's still early, and it will almost be ready in a dozen years."
Ren Qing replied.
"More than ten years?"
Qin Yi frowned slightly, if he gave more than ten years to the Carloqi Star side, then it is estimated that the Carloqi Star side would be able to exert almost one hundred percent of its strength by then, and then it would be really difficult to fight.
"I estimate that it may not take more than ten years, but at most seven or eight years to be able to build it."
Long Yuanuchi on the side thought for a while and said: "In the past, we were inexperienced, crossing the river by feeling the stones, but now the technology of manufacturing degenerate materials is becoming more and more mature, and all aspects of the supporting facilities, factories, etc. are gradually complete, and the speed will be faster and faster, and it will be almost built in seven or eight years." ”
"Seven or eight years is almost over, and when the time comes, the warp engine will be installed on the 'Han Wu Emperor' spacecraft, and then the 'Han Wu Emperor' spacecraft will be transformed, and it will be enough for ten years or so."
Yang Hongyan thought about it and nodded and replied, he knew that Qin Yi's side was also in a hurry now, the Centaurius Galaxy was the first step in the expansion of the Xinghan interstellar universe, and whether or not he could successfully take the Carlot Star was a very crucial step.
"I didn't build this warp engine to make you start a war of aggression, to be honest, I was very reluctant to build this warp engine, especially knowing that you were going to invade the Centauri galaxy."
Ren Qing on the side looked at Long Yuankong and Yang Hongyan, and then at Qin Yi, and said very unhappily.
She is a pacifist and an idealist, and she believes that scientists study technology for the benefit of mankind, not to use the power of science and technology for aggression, war, and harm to innocent people.
So when she learned that Xinghan regarded the Centauri Galaxy as the first stop of interstellar expansion, and that the Centauri Galaxy had a population of 50 billion people, she didn't want to work very much, and felt that she was aiding the abuse.
Because she knew that once the war to invade the Centauri system began, there was no telling how many Carlots would die on the planet Carlotchy, and maybe the entire Carlot people would be wiped out.
"Ren Qing~"
"You must know that this is a war between civilizations and civilizations, races and races, in the universe, if you don't expand, you won't have enough resources and land, and in the future, when facing civilizations that are more powerful than us, they will not be soft on us."
"Everything we do today is for our descendants of Yan and Huang, and for our children and grandchildren to have a starry sky of their own."
Qin Yi looked at Ren Qing and said very sternly.
In the interstellar universe, this kind of plot is unacceptable, today you let go of this civilization, and when this civilization is strong, it will not let you go.
Moreover, the war and expansion of the interstellar universe are all for resources, for the space for survival and development, there is no wide enough starry sky, just limited to the solar system, even if the technology is developed, what can it be, once it is killed by someone here in the solar system, the entire human civilization will not be destroyed.
Only by having a vast starry sky, firmly enclosing the solar system in it, and having a vast depth, can it be safer and reproduce more people.
This is a very simple truth, just like a country with a vast land area and a country with a small land area on the earth, there is naturally a profound difference between the population, resources, and comprehensive strength of the two.
Expansion in the interstellar universe is a national policy that has been formulated since the establishment of Xinghan, and now Ren Qing is still talking about this matter, which makes Qin Yi also very annoyed.
"What's so good about fighting and killing, isn't it good to live in peace?"
was severely criticized by Qin Yi, Ren Qing also pouted helplessly and said.
"Peaceful?"
"Don't be deceived by everything on this side of the earth, as long as we have the most power, the vastest starry sky, the most resources and the most population, we can truly have peace, otherwise everything in front of us is just up to the wishes of others."
Qin Yi said sharply.
"Okay, I can't talk about you~"
Ren Qing shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Ren Qing's appearance, Qin Yi also shook his head.
In the Age of Discovery, our ancestors did not fight or rob, so when Europeans colonized the world and occupied the world's most vast and fertile land, we were still limited to East Asia.
Even in modern times, when it was backward and beaten for more than 100 years, I don't know how many blood and tears have been shed, such a lesson is not enough, it is not clear, if you don't expand, if you don't fight, others will expand, and they will fight.
When the time comes, when the competitors are strong and you are still standing still, then there is nothing to do with you, and eventually history will repeat itself.
At that time, the alien civilization will not live in peace with the talk, and the fate of mankind will be worried, and if it is not destroyed, it is very likely that it will become the lowest slave in the universe, and the people of the entire civilization will be sold to every corner of the universe as a commodity.
"You hurry up and build the warp engine, time is running out, the earthlings are also making a lot of noise now, we swallowed the Centauri galaxy earlier, and it will save trouble."
Qin Yi looked at the warp engine in front of him and said, because its mass is too large, it has a very small gravity, which is why this room does not turn on the gravity generation device.
