"You're so anxious to marry me?" Ji Xingxian smiled softly, a shallow smile appeared on his beautiful face, his eyes were shining, and his demeanor was enough to turn everyone upside down.

Xin Lin was stunned for a moment, and secretly said a word of trouble!

Originally, he just asked jokingly, but he didn't expect to be countered to the army, so he naturally refused to show weakness, and nodded seriously: "Of course, which man has the opportunity to marry you, so he is not in a hurry?" Besides, we're engaged, and it makes sense to care about my fiancée, and you should be happy. ”

"Really?" Ji Xingxian disagreed, and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Martial God, since you care about me so much, do you know what I've been busy with lately?" Concern is not just lip service. ”

Xin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, Ji Xingxian's busy business was obviously not only raising vacuum crystals, but the operation of the Star Frost Group.

Thinking about it carefully, she really didn't know what Ji Xingxian was busy with, and she didn't pay much attention to her company, and she didn't even know what the movements were.

"Uh......" he shook his head a little embarrassed, "Well, it's my fault. ”

"It's okay, it's my own business." Ji Xingxian's smile retracted, and he said, "I won't flirt with you, let's get down to business." I'm more anxious than you to buy the telekinetic exercises, and I'm already trying my best to raise crystals, and I will definitely be able to deliver them to you before the end of the year to complete the marriage contract. ”

"It could have been faster, but I have a major project research and development in my hands that has reached a critical time, and it will be completed immediately, and it is being promoted and publicized in the overall layout, and at the same time expanding the establishment of the production line, which requires a lot of financial support, so I can only delay two or three months to give you crystals."

Speaking of running a business, Ji Xingxian's eyes revealed a strong confidence and look, and said: "Once this product release is completed and promoted smoothly, Xingshuang Group will definitely become the first consortium of the Federation, and the 50,000 crystals paid to you every year in the future will be more than enough." ”

Xin Lin was a little curious when he heard this, and asked, "What product is so powerful?" ”

Ji Xingxian glanced at Xin Lin and replied, "This is the top trade secret of the Star Frost Group, but it doesn't hurt to tell you." She smiled indifferently and said softly, "We've developed a brand new ship engine that can reach a second level of warp speed. ”

"Two warp engines!"

Rao is Xin is well-informed and determined, but when he heard Ji Xingxian's words, he couldn't help but be taken aback and felt a little incredible.

In the interstellar age, the two key factors restricting the development of a race's civilization are navigation speed and information transmission.

The Earth Federation has long mastered ultra-long-range quantum communication technology, realizing instant communication within a thousand light years. Delays above a thousand light-years will occur, and the farther the distance, the longer the delay will be, until the distance of three thousand light-years will not be completely invalidated, but this is enough for the Federation's current star range.

Messaging has been solved, but speed has been a big problem and has been difficult to break for hundreds of years.

The farthest colonized planet of the Federation is five hundred light-years away from the first planet, Earth, and travels at a first-order warp speed that takes three weeks to reach. If you pass through the Federation Star Field from one end to the other, it will take a whole month and a half.

In the ever-changing interstellar war, forty-five days is too long, and even if instant communication can be carried out, there is no way to interfere with the course of the war.

By the time the support fleet arrived on the battlefield, everything was over.

And, as the territory expands, the federal government's control over the situation hundreds of light-years away gradually weakens, and if it continues to expand outward, it is almost inevitable that the colonized planet will lose control.

Space is three-dimensional, and every light year the interstellar territory expands outward, the area to be explored exponentially grows exponentially. For example, if the radius of a sphere is extended by 10 meters, its volume will increase by 1,000 cubic meters, which is a full 3rd power!

The larger the territory, the more difficult it is to develop.

This is the first bottleneck that all interstellar civilizations have to go through, and the vast majority of interstellar civilizations are limited to this, and they cannot break through for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, until they are destroyed.

Therefore, the speed of navigation has become an important criterion for measuring a civilization, and in many cases, the warp speed level mastered can be regarded as a civilization's strength level.

Mastering the first-level warp speed is the minimum threshold for civilization to gain a foothold in the interstellar world, and it is a first-level civilization that has been able to travel quickly between the stars and expand outward from the planetary system where the race was born.

By analogy, mastering the second-level warp navigation technique is the second-level civilization, and the third-level warp speed represents the third-level civilization.

There are tens of thousands of civilizations in the galaxy, and only a few have entered the interstellar space to become first-class civilizations, perhaps only a thousand. The races that meet the standards of second-level civilization are even rarer, and there are about a hundred second-level civilizations in the galaxy, which is already very powerful.

As for the third-level civilizations, there are only a handful in the entire galaxy, and the most representative of them is the Galactic Empire.

Of course, in addition to the Galactic Empire, there are several races that have mastered the level 3 warp speed, such as the Ricks that Xin Lin once encountered, this ancient race can also sail at the level 3 warp speed.

However, a three-level warp speed is not enough to rule a galaxy, and sailing speed is only the basic, and other technologies must be developed to complement it.

For example, biotechnology has greatly increased the lifespan of the whole race, multiplied a huge population, cultivated a large number of strong individuals with a developed cultivation system, and combined with a stable political system in armor, weapons, communications, and other aspects, and finally conquered the entire galaxy, it can be called a river-level civilization.

The third-level civilization of the Galactic Empire is also the only river-level civilization in the galaxy.

The first-level civilization is the mainstream in the galaxy, and it can be seen everywhere, they are better than those races trapped on the home planet, but they can't expand farther, they can be described as high or low, usually between 1,000 and 30,000 years, if they don't break through to the second-level civilization, they will eventually perish due to various factors.

The Earth Federation is a first-level civilization, and it has entered the interstellar era for about a thousand years, and its development has actually reached its limit, and it is facing the powerful mortal enemy of the Steelmane Empire, and the future is not clear.

From the first-level warp speed to the second-level warp speed, the speed has increased from 8,128 times the speed of light to 65,535 times the speed of light, which is an insurmountable chasm.

The Steelmane Empire has entered the interstellar age for nearly 10,000 years, and has not yet mastered the second-level warp speed, and is still a first-level civilization.

It can be seen that the difficulty of warping sailing technology is huge!

Xin Lin also thought about promoting the Federation's warp engine technology, and the inverse entropy star has a complete set of warp speed technology, from level 1 to level 7, and even has the technology to build a stargate and hyperspace teleportation, but after being reminded by Augustus, it doesn't make much sense to do so.

Different civilizations, the focus and direction of scientific and technological development are different, all are warp speed engines, manufacturing processes and theories may be completely two systems, maybe you can learn from them, but you can't apply them.

In other words, the technology of the inverse entropy star is too sophisticated, and the scientific theories are so different that it cannot be understood at all with the knowledge of the Federation, just like a book from heaven, and may not even be able to read it.

Even if Xin Lin handed over the complete information of the second-stage warp engine to the Federation, it would be impossible to master this technology in the short term and immediately build a second-stage warp engine. This kind of cutting-edge technology requires a large number of scientists to devote a lifetime of painstaking efforts, gather the strength of the whole family at the expense of funds and resources, and the overall scientific and technological level reaches a certain level, cooperate with each other, form a set of matching industrial system, and finally can be successfully manufactured.

This process can take hundreds of years, or even longer, and far water can't save near fires.

Unless you can find a civilization that is similar to the Federation's technology system, the theory is relatively consistent, easy to understand, absorb the other party's warp engine technology, and develop your own engine as quickly as possible.

Now, Ji Xingxian said that her company has developed a two-stage warp engine, how can this not be surprising?

Xin Lin immediately thought of her secret, that cosmic super-dimensional net!

With the channels to trade with many civilizations and powerhouses throughout the supercluster, it is not difficult for Ji Xingxian to obtain a set of second-level warp engine technology, and then choose an engine similar to the federation technology and copy it through reverse engineering, maybe it may really be successful.

If this is the case, it will be an unprecedented event for the Federation, and it will change the course of the Federation's development!

The Earth Federation has jumped from a first-class civilization to a second-level civilization, and the importance of the warp engine is self-evident.

The speed of the second stage is equal to 65,535 times the speed of light, and as long as it is implemented, the speed of all ships and warships of the Federation will be increased by eight times, greatly reducing the range. It used to take three weeks to get from Earth to the front line, but now it only takes three days, saving countless mobilization time, which is almost an eightfold increase in the Federation's war power!

In interstellar warfare, speed is power, speed is quantity, the Steelmane Empire will face several times more enemies in the future, and the balance of victory has tilted in favor of the Federation!

As the owner of the two-stage warp engine, Ji Xingxian will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of the Federation, and obtain unimaginable huge wealth and fame.

Of course, risks are always with benefits, and once this matter is announced, Ji Xingxian will also be under tremendous pressure, and I don't know how many people secretly covet her. The second-stage warp engine is a great thing for the Federation, but it is a catastrophe for other shipbuilding companies, and the profit margin is compressed to the minimum.

The shipbuilding and warship industry is one of the largest industries in the Federation, with countless entanglements of interests hidden and inextricably linked to the upper echelons of the Federation.

Xin Shi's expression changed, and he was silent for a few minutes before he said, "Do you know what a two-stage warp engine means? ”

"I know very well."

Ji Xingxian saw his worries and said softly: "Don't worry, I know what to do, I have cooperated with many shipbuilding companies to form a community of interests, and I will not kill them." ”

"That's good." Xin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If you need help, feel free to tell me, don't dare to say anything else, but I will definitely be able to act as a thug for you." ”

Ji Xingxian smiled at him, "I will." ”
