Chapter XVIII
"The power furnace has been connected! The energy reading is rising, the peak reaches the predetermined value, and it is stable and successful! ”
"The Hunter's faster-than-light engine starts!"
"The start-up was successful, and the faster-than-light engine began to physically connect. The connection was successful, and the Akara curve engine was activated for the first time! ”
"The first activation failed. Now for the second activation! ”
"The Akara Curve Engine was successfully activated for the second time, the Curve Engine went online, and the operating power reached the predetermined value! Power furnace feedback is normal! ”
"The Hunter is stable! Attention all JYS units, start roll call in order! The roll call is complete. All self-discipline units, start roll call! ”
"All maintenance units are called to complete. Catapult tower, start the final countdown! ”
In the barren space, a huge space structure that has been urgently transformed from a communication tower into a catapult tower is slowly lighting up. Its mission is to overload its own power core, which can be used as a one-time ejection channel, the warp light wave propulsion.
To put it simply, the catapult tower is an accelerating slingshot that makes it a little easier for the Akara to sail faster than light.
This is a rather dangerous and special faster-than-light route, because there is only one faster-than-light stealth opportunity, and there is no way to constantly return to its normal state for recharging and calibration like normal sailing. Therefore, it is necessary to aim well at one time, and the output of the power furnace must also be done at one time.
If it can't reach its destination this time, then Akara won't even have a chance to start the coordinate-like engine to fly.
Kungo and his friends weren't on the Hunter. Because the entire Hunter has become a giant faster-than-light curve engine, which is tantamount to looking for death.
So even Haiwei, the "earthbound spirit", was forcibly arrested by Kunwu, and of course Xiaoxiaobai. Even the Hunter's main engine has been physically shut down.
The Hunter is now a part, and all spontaneous actions must be erased.
The group was now on the bridge of the Acala in the middle of Acala, far from the dormant quarantine zone. It's almost the position of two hemispheres.
This is because what the quarantine zone needs is stability, and what the bridge needs is control.
The old system was launched again, and the equipment of the Golden Empire was indeed powerful, if it hadn't been caught by the gravitational pull of the Doomsday Tyrant back then, and had to destroy it by killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, the current Akara should still be operating safely.
"The ejection peak has been reached! Catapult pour plan begins, 3, 2, 1! Ejection begins! ”
In the middle of space, a huge space lens suddenly appeared, then grew larger and larger, and eventually enveloped the entire Akara in it.
It was as if the Acala had fallen into an unknown space, "falling" into the spatial lens.
At the same time, the ejection tower was also heavily overloaded, and eventually self-destructed into a piece of debris.
"The curve engine thrust speed 1, thrust speed 2, thrust speed up to 17. Stabilized. The first stage is complete! ”
The host's debriefing gave everyone a long sigh of relief. Even Karazan's body flickered a few times.
A speed of 17 means 17 times the speed of light. This is several times faster than a human faster-than-light engine.
However, 196 light-years is not a month to reach the speed of light, so in fact another function of the faster-than-light curve engine is on its curve.
In fact, according to the technical level of the Golden Empire, the engine should be divided into: working engine - non-working engine - speed of light engine - faster-than-light engine - faster-than-light curve engine - transition engine - coordinate-like engine - phase engine.
Because human beings are picking up the lost technology of the Golden Empire, the development of the technology tree is unbalanced, so it has caused a strange situation where there is already a migration engine, but the faster-than-light curve engine is still in the preliminary stage.
In addition to "faster-than-light", the faster-than-light curve engine also has an ability called "curve", and this ability is actually the pre-technology of the jump engine and the coordinate-like engine.
If humans were studying the tech tree normally, then they would have already touched the threshold of the coordinate-like engine when they invented the Transition Engine, rather than the embarrassing point where no one even knew what the Coordinate-like Engine was.
The curve ability of faster-than-light curves is a spatial coordinate folding technology, so the curve engine is also called the folding engine. The basic principle is to overlap two spatial coordinate points in a higher dimension to achieve the effect of reaching the destination faster.
Therefore, the state of faster-than-light curve navigation is not actually moving in a straight line, but moving forward in leaps.
"According to calculations, the curve engine of the Akara can last for ten days, after which it will be completely overloaded and will never be able to start again, but that will also allow us to reach the vicinity of the target point, and then the coordinate-like engine will continue to sail at sub-light speed for about twenty days, and it should be able to reach the suitable orbit of the target star before the power furnace is shut down. At that time, Acala can usher in a new stability within ten years, after which Acala will grow back to the ground, and a new ecosystem will be established! ”
Kun Wu smiled and looked at the data from Amber's deduction: "Three years at most, you should be able to welcome a new life." And it's a white zone for human exploration, and if nothing else, humans won't be able to come here for fifty years. You have fifty years to recover a lot of things. ”
"Looks like you're not going to give us access to humans!" Karazan looked at Kungo.
"I don't want humans to become sinners who exterminate the plant spirits, and I don't want the plant spirits to become the culprits of the extermination of the human race! Humans are not so tolerant of aliens right now! The process of human civilization is accelerated, so the ideology of human beings is still far behind its own technology! Kungo looked at Karazhan.
"The universe is huge, and there will always be a time when human beings will encounter a civilization that is still alive. At that time, humanity will learn to accept other civilizations, but the planting spirit is not suitable, because you can't accept any waves now! ”
Karazan didn't say anything more, just bowed slightly to Kungo.
As Kunwu, he has done his best to help Zhiling think of this from the standpoint of Zhiling.
"Now it's time to sail, and I think we can get some rest now. The Autonomous Fleet and the JYS Fleet will take care of everything! Maybe I should dig up some good stuff from you and go back, at least worthy of the price my Hunter went back for a major overhaul! Kungo began to look at Karazan with a hippie smile.
Karazan smiled, for the first time he laughed: "Yes, I think that's as it should be." I've got it sorted out, please come with me. ”
