Chapter 49, Testing the Warp Engine

The outer space of Mars is as prosperous as a bustling city, dotted with space buildings, endless streams of spaceships, plus huge space factories and large spaceships in the distance, all of which tell you that this is a highly developed interstellar country.

In a void more than 100,000 kilometers away from Mars, the huge spacecraft manufacturing plant affiliated to the National Academy of Science of Xinghan gathered scientists, engineers and many senior executives from various fields of Xinghan.

Today is the day when the warp engine is officially completed and the warp speed flight is carried out, which is a great moment of milestone, although Xinghan does not have a special historian, but next year's history textbook has firmly remembered today.

In a huge space factory, in a huge room, many scientists and engineers are doing the final inspection of the warp engine in front of them.

Named the 'Heart of Time and Space', this warp engine is more than 200 meters long, 100 meters wide, and more than 300 meters high.

In addition to its large size, its mass is also very large, because it is made entirely of degenerate materials, and its huge mass even makes the warp engine itself have a lot of gravity.

"There is no problem, it can be installed on the spaceship of the Emperor of Hanwu."

The final inspection work is very tedious, but it is definitely an indispensable part, and with the busy work of many scientists and engineers, the inspection work is also successfully completed.

"Let's install it~"

Yang Hongyan, the chief designer of the 'Heart of Time and Space', nodded and gave the order.

Soon, in the empty hall, scientists and engineers quickly evacuated the hall with the help of robotic arms, and the air compressor began to pump the air out of the hall.

Then the outermost protective layer of this hall began to open layer by layer, exposing the hall directly to the environment of the cosmic void, and a Qinglong-level spaceship began to slowly moored over.

The warp engine is so mass that it is difficult for the mechanical arm to move it, so it needs to be dragged slowly by a spaceship.

As the Qinglong-class spaceship slowly flew outward, the super-massive warp engine also slowly moved outward, slowly moving towards a dock.

Shipbuilding dockHere, there is only one spaceship moored in the entire giant shipbuilding dock that is more than ten kilometers long, that is, the largest spaceship 'Emperor Wu of Han' spaceship.

Decades have passed, and the spaceship, which has been given the name of the Great Emperor, has not embarked on a journey of interstellar expansion, but is only roaming around the small repulse bay of the solar system.

Now, it is finally about to install wings to take off, and from then on it will soar in the vast sea of stars, becoming the pioneer of the expansion of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the stars.

The warp speed engine slowly approached the huge Han Wu Emperor spaceship, and the 'Han Wu Emperor' spaceship had already reserved the position of the warp speed engine in the original design, of course, this was also expected at Qin Yi's request.

Because Qin Yi knew very well that it was not an easy task to build a 'Han Wu Emperor' spaceship, so when building it, he had to take into account what would happen after mastering the warp engine in the future.

If nothing else, the service life of this spaceship is very long, very long, as long as the core engine and energy are fine, it is normal for the new three hundred years, the old three hundred years, and the tinkering for another three hundred years.

In the science and technology tower, Qin Yi has seen a lot of relevant information, in some cosmic civilizations, this spaceship is a very precious thing, many times it can become a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation, and it is not a problem to pass it on for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Although the 'Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty' has a history of several decades, its performance is still very perfect in all aspects, except for the dust formed by some cosmic dust on the outside.

The location of the warp engine was predicted in advance, and the design of the warp engine was reserved, so the 'Han Wu Emperor' spaceship only needed to be equipped with a warp engine, and it was a powerful spaceship capable of crisscrossing the universe.

It has a fusion reactor on it, enough to provide a massive amount of energy to power a warp engine.

The installation of the warp engine went very smoothly and without any accidents, the warp engine was installed on the 'Emperor of Hanwu' spacecraft.

Soon, the 'Emperor of Hanwu' spacecraft began to slowly leave the dock and fly towards the depths of the asteroid's void, with the long incandescent white tail flame spewing out from the tail, the 'Emperor Hanwu' spacecraft became farther and farther away from Mars.

The test of this warp engine must be far away from Mars, all of which is naturally for the safety of Mars, and even the spacecraft of the 'Emperor of Han Wu' is full of not many people, afraid of any accidents.

The speed of the spacecraft was so fast that it took only a few days for it to fly from outer space to the asteroid belt, where it was ready to start warp engine testing.

Here in the General Institute of Xinghan Science Research Institute in outer space on Mars, many of the top well-known scientists of Xinghan have gathered together, and the virtual watch is connected to the 'Han Wu Emperor' spacecraft, and they are constantly paying attention to the news from the 'Han Wu Emperor' spacecraft.

"Arrive at the predetermined location~"

"Emperor Wu of Han Requests Instructions~"

Here in the asteroid belt, the spaceship of the 'Emperor Wu of Han' slowly slowed down, and finally quietly anchored in an empty cosmic void.

Huang Zhibin, the captain of the 'Emperor of Hanwu' spacecraft, also sent an order to the Martian base camp.

"Perform a self-test~"

Chief Engineer Yang Hongyan issued the order in accordance with the procedures that had been set in advance.

Through quantum communication technology, the latest instructions were also directly transmitted to the 'Emperor of Hanwu' spacecraft, and the super quantum computer on the spacecraft immediately started the set program and began to conduct self-testing.

"Nuclear fusion reactor is normal~"

"The anti-gravity engine is normal~"

"The gravity restraint device is normal~"

"Warp engine is normal~"

"In perfect condition, you can test it at any time~"

The self-inspection speed of the 'Emperor of Han Wu' is very fast, and the test data of each item comes out quickly, and the state is very perfect, and it can start at any time.

"Leader, do you want to start testing the warp engine~"

Yang Hongyan came to Qin Yi's side and asked very respectfully, this is a public occasion, so the title has changed.

"Let's get started~"

Qin Yi nodded and gave an order.

"Start testing the warp engine~"

Without hesitation, Yang Hongyan gave the order for the test.

The location of the asteroid belt 'Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty' spaceship is here, in the surrounding void, small spaceships are densely distributed, and these small spaceships carry a variety of instruments, which can completely record all the data of this test.

In addition to these small spaceships for monitoring, there are also a variety of large-scale disposable monitors launched from the 'Han Wu Emperor' spaceship, which monitor the vast void around the 'Han Wu Emperor' spacecraft, and not even a single fly can escape their monitoring.

Orders from the base camp soon reached here, and the 'Emperor of Hanwu' spacecraft began testing.

The nuclear fusion reactor on the spacecraft was ignited by a super-powerful laser, and the entire nuclear fusion reactor began to spew out a steady stream of energy.

This huge amount of energy is all poured into the warp engine under the powerful gravity restraint device.

"Hum~"

Soon, with the immense energy input into the warp engine, the warp engine began to work, a huge force began to be released, and the surrounding space was like a wave of water produced a slight turbulence.

This kind of turbulence is very similar to the turbulence of the water surface, but it is also very different, the water waves on the surface of the water are rippling on a plane, while the ripples of this space are a whole, as if in the water, a force stirring, so that the whole body of water begins to stir.

At first, this kind of agitation was very weak, wave after wave, the void where the 'Emperor of Hanwu' spaceship was originally very calm, but now it was beating like a heart.

As the energy input from the fusion reactor to the warp engine became more and more huge, this fluctuation also became more and more distant, and soon, the entire void produced countless ripples, constantly fluctuating.

As the fluctuations became more and more distanced, the void where the 'Emperor of Han' spacecraft was located began to twist and fold, and sometimes the two spaceships seemed to be very close, very close, close at hand, as if they were about to collide together, but in fact, the distance between the two was thousands of kilometers.

It's just that the distortion and folding of space makes the two spaceships seem to be together, which is very contradictory, and it makes it hard to believe everything in front of you, but it is very real in front of you.

"Hum~"

The void was originally very empty, lonely, without a trace of sound, but with the start of the warp engine, the fluctuations of space became larger and larger, and at the same time accompanied by the sound of humming, this sound is not another sound, it is the sound produced by spatial fluctuations, and this sound is different from the sound we usually produce when we speak.

It can spread through the void, seemingly through space, or it can spread without any medium at all, very fast, and it can travel through the void to the distant depths of the void at an unimaginable speed.
