So Zhu Lei has been staying in the laboratory and studying the warp engine technology with the scientists of the Ming Empire after buying the whole set of warp engine technology, Zhu Lei and the scientists of the Ming Empire first analyzed the technology purchased by Zhu Lei, although the technology that Zhu Lei bought in the mall and the technical principles that the Ming Empire is studying are similar, but no matter what, the technology of each civilization has its own characteristics, so the scientists of the Ming Empire must first analyze their technology, and then understand it and then understand it.

Although Zhu Lei bought these technologies, there are also mature finished products to buy, in fact, human beings can only make usable products according to the purchase of the warp engine imitation, but imitation is not what Zhu Lei and the Ming Empire want, if you can't understand the operating principle and various layouts of the purchased warp engine, the Ming Empire can only imitate the purchased civilization warp engine, and it is impossible to make a breakthrough in this technology.

You must know that the warp engine that Zhu Lei bought in the mall is just a primary warp engine, and the fastest speed of the spaceship in the universe can only reach 1.8 times the speed of light, so it is absolutely impossible to imitate it directly, not to mention that many of the materials used in the purchased warp engine are not available in the Ming Empire, and even many of the materials used to make the warp engine materials are not in the territory controlled by human beings now, so imitation is impossible to achieve.

Therefore, the technology bought by Zhu Lei can only be used as a reference, and the scientists of the Ming Empire still have to develop their own warp engine, but with Zhu Lei's clever technology, the research and development speed of the warp engine is undoubtedly countless times faster, and the warp engine that originally took tens of hundreds or even thousands of years to develop was finally successfully researched in the third year after Zhu Lei joined the research.

Although the fastest speed of the concept machine of the warp speed engine can only reach 1.1 times the speed of light in theory, and the maximum range of each warp voyage is only 0.5 light years, and after each warp voyage, it must be recharged for half a year before it can continue to use warp speed, but this is a warp speed engine anyway, which is more than twice as fast as the means of conventional navigation, even if this prototype is used, from the solar system to the galaxy where the Kara civilization is located, from the original time of nearly twenty years to less than ten years to reach, this efficiency has been many times faster.

What's more, this is just the first concept machine used to validate the warp engine. Although it is only 1.1 times the speed of light, the success of this warp engine indicates that the Ming Empire has mastered the manufacturing technology of the warp engine, although to a certain extent, Zhu Lei borrowed the technology he bought in the mall, but this is just a reference to mature technology, not to mention that the warp engine technology of the Ming Empire has been studied and digested by itself, and the technology of redesign, and the Ming Empire has not gained a little bit in its own research in the past few decades, but in some key points, the scientist's dream has not been thoroughly understood, so when Zhu Lei came back, he did not succeed in manufacturing the warp engine.

And since the first warp engine verification machine of the Ming Empire has been manufactured, it is much simpler to get it, Zhu Lei and they started this is the first real warp engine prototype, and this real prototype will be installed on the latest battleship being manufactured by the Ming Empire.

After all, this is only the first generation of the first generation of warp engine designed and researched by the Ming Empire that can be used for warp flight, so this warp engine still has many flaws, but there are also many points.

The first is the shortcomings of this warp engine, the first is that the manufacture of this warp engine is still a bit difficult to manufacture for the time being, and it can only be manufactured in the laboratory for the time being, and there are still certain difficulties in achieving large-scale industrial production, and it is expected that these difficulties will take at least five years to solve, and the second is that the energy consumed by this warp engine when sailing at warp speed is quite huge. For example, the latest space battleship being built in the dockyard will not have a combat radius of more than fifty light years if it uses a warp engine to sail, and in the end, the volume of this warp engine is still a bit large, and it can only be used on large warships for the time being, and small and medium-sized spaceships cannot use this warp engine at all, because the energy of small and medium-sized spaceships is not enough for the consumption of a warp engine start.

And the point of this warp engine is also very obvious, and even in some ways compared to the technology of which warp engine Zhu Lei bought is more excellent, the first point is the stability of this warp engine, the stability of this warp engine is very good, because the Ming Empire has an innate advantage in terms of materials, so this warp engine is very reliable During the verification machine experiment, Zhu Lei They conducted large-scale intensive experiments on this engine, and this engine performed very well, and there was no abnormality.

The second is the speed of this warp engine. The speed of the redesigned warp engine has reached 4.2 times the speed of light, which is faster than the verification machine they designed, and it is almost four times the speed of the verification machine, even if it is faster than the technology of the warp engine that Zhu Lei bought in the mall, and even reached more than twice as much as him, and finally the cooling and charging time of the warp engine after each warp voyage, because the Ming Empire used a large number of gold essence battery technology on this warp engine, the cooling and charging time after each warp voyage using this warp engine technology has been shortened from the original half a year to fifteen days, which is a great progress！ Even a lot of sixth-level civilizations can't reach it.

Even after the batteries on the warp engine are fully charged, the first and second warp voyages only need three days to be carried out, but the third warp voyage has to enter fifteen days of charging before it can be recharged again because all the energy in the warp engine itself is consumed, but this is already very remarkable for the Ming Empire.

Although this warp engine is already quite good, the shortcomings of his warp engine are also very obvious, so Zhu Lei and the scientists of the Ming Empire must find a way to solve these shortcomings, although it may take a long time to solve these shortcomings, but this is also no way to solve these shortcomings These shortcomings must be solved, especially the energy consumed by this warp engine every time it is warp sailing, and the volume of the warp engine is too large and can only be used on large spaceships. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of energy and miniaturization, after all, if the Ming Empire wants to establish a route with the Kara civilization, in addition to large and super-large spaceships, the most important thing is the small and medium-sized spaceships of the people.
