I don't know why the empire has been getting darker and darker recently, although it is said that the empire itself is built on the dark area of the universe, but this level of darkness still surprises the people of the empire.

Although the original empire was very dark, because every planet, every port, and every spaceship were restricted from causing light pollution in the empire, people in the empire could see stars tens of thousands of light-years away as soon as they looked up, and even, if their eyesight was better, they might be able to see the only shining planet in the sky, the Ultra Star.

"Don't even think about looking at the Ultra Star, the environment in the empire is even worse than I imagined." Hikari stood on the podium, he was coaxed by Casor and Emperor Ampera to come to the Imperial School to attend classes, he had just finished the lecture, looked at the Imperial students who were listening carefully below, and said with some complaints and some distress, "Be careful on the way back, the recent cosmic environment of the Empire is too strange, if you encounter difficulties on the way back, remember to contact the teacher and Teacher Casto as soon as possible."

Hikari's slightly cowardly words caused some innocent smiles from the students below, and Nostra of the Mephiras stood up and said respectfully, "Mr. Hikari, although we know that you care about us, if I'm not mistaken, you must be a scientist. So. Do you need us to take turns to take you back to Mr. Casto's ship?"

"There's no need, although I'm just a scientist, but my eyesight is still good, besides, tell Barbaliu and the others who didn't come to class, you are students, learning is still the most important, I know you want to do something big, but if they don't bring your homework next time, I'll let you know how scary scientists are"

Hikari returned to Casto's spaceship in a much longer time than he expected, and Casto asked curiously, "Delayed?" No, I remember that you gave them a general history of the science of cosmic civilization, and this class is mainly about the mainstream scientific development of the universe, and it shouldn't be delayed, right? ”

"Of course not, I'm a graduate student in the Land of Light, what's the difficulty of giving a science lesson to a group of elementary school students?" Shikari shook his head, and then pointed to the window of the cab with some helplessness, "Although the Ampera Empire was built in the dark region of the universe, it is too dark, right?" ”

Yes, the so-called dark universe within the territory of the Ampera Empire is essentially some dark areas in the universe.

The Dark Universe is not another universe, in fact, the Dark Universe is a general term for a certain area in the universe, which is used in the universe to refer to those places that are desolate and have no stars.

In the eyes of the early cosmic civilizations, such a dark area of the universe would not give birth to life, and the largest dark area was called the dark universe from that time.

Of course, the cosmic civilization that first called this area has long disappeared in the long river of history, but this name has spread, although after that, with the continuous emergence of civilizations in the dark universe, other civilizations in the universe realized the possibility of civilizations in the dark universe, but the name has not changed.

"But this dark situation in the empire is not quite right recently, it is indeed a bit outrageous." Kasto agreed with Hikari's words, "Although the Emperor does not like light, the Empire strictly limits the upper limit of each civilization, planet, port, spaceship, and even individual to shine, but now the situation is too dark. ”

Little Mefilas who had just finished dealing with the affairs of the clan was also on the spaceship, and his brother had finished handling the affairs of the empire and hurriedly returned to the country of light, and now he had become the acting patriarch of the Mefilas clan again, he raised his head and looked at Shikari and Castor, "Don't talk about you, the empire does fall into darkness from time to time because of the cosmic phenomena caused by dark matter and negative energy, but this time it is indeed a little dark, and the visibility is reduced and even causes accidents on the waterway to start happening frequently." ”

"It's a little strange that you even say that." Shikari said this, but looked at Castor, and the four bulb eyes gave each other a look of the message, and then nodded silently.

"Speaking of which, how did our Mephilas Nostra behave in class? I've heard that he has a high opinion of the course for both of you. ”

"Aside from his ability to perform, he's doing well." Hikari thought for a moment, and then gave a positive evaluation from a teacher's point of view, "The only problem is that there are only a few named students in the classroom, and half of them will be absent every time they go to class, who taught them the trick of taking turns in class?" ”

Naturally, Hikari knew what the students were doing, and he even knew that the Emperor had chosen a name for the project that Casto didn't like, but he still couldn't accept that the students didn't come to class.

"No way, although your and Mr. Casto's classes are very attractive to students and allow them to see the universe from different perspectives, after all, the Emperor's orders are more important."

Casto looked at Shikali, who obviously didn't agree with this sentence, shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "My good director, be content, they have already given you face, if it weren't for the fact that you are the director of the Universe Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light, even if it is the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness, those students will not necessarily give face." ”

"But don't they give you face too?" Hikari asked, puzzled.

"Nonsense!" Ryosuke Sanada's voice came from the communicator, "The guy who dares to fight the emperor, who dares not to give him face." ”

"If that's the case," Philas heard Ryosuke Sanada's voice and retorted with some embarrassment, "Didn't you, an earthling, also refute the emperor on the port of the Imperial Star?" ”

Speaking of this, Little Mei Filas seemed to have thought of something, turned around and walked towards the outside of the spaceship, "Speaking of which, when I was in the Imperial Harbor last time, I seemed to have a few good transformation ideas, and I forgot about them without mentioning them. ”

"Hey! You just said that you should listen to me more when he is away! Casto shouted, "You have a new idea, remember to let me see it first!" ”

"Knowing Mr. Casto, I will do the same without my brother telling me!"

Hikari watched Castor and Little Mephias interact strangely, and he always had the illusion that Casto was doing quite well in the Empire

"That's right." Hikari turned his head and turned on the screen, only to see Ryosuke Sanada in a white coat in the laboratory testing an engine, "How's the progress of plasma Mokshiki's research?" Is there a possibility of popularization? ”

"It's not realistic, as you said, we can make a model of this thing according to the principle, but it can't be reduced to a spaceship like the Atlantis." Ryosuke Sanada shook his head.

Shikari sighed, he and Yamanaka have been of the same mind, although it has not been for a long time, but he is relatively able to adapt to the human way of thinking, but because of this, he does not have so much confidence in reproducing the plasma hundred styles.

"As I thought, although the level of technology on the earth is high, not all of them can be reproduced." Hikari explained to Casto, who was a little puzzled on the side, "It's like your replica of the Atlantis, although the principle is the same, but those low-level civilizations of the empire actually use some more advanced materials science technology and kinetic technology to replace some unreasonable things on your drawings. ”

"Earth civilization is very strange, many of their scientific technologies are at a level that can be used, but they don't know the principle." Hikari further analyzed, "So the key to the success of a spacecraft like Plasma Hundred is probably something that humans have not noticed. ”

"Just like an airplane, human research on aircraft aerodynamics is actually not enough for human beings to build aircraft at the current level, but human aircraft can still continue to develop, and this is the talent of human beings."

After Shikari finished speaking, he pointed to Sanada Ryosuke on the screen, and said helplessly to Casto, "Take this plasma hundred formulas as an example, some basic theories seem to be feasible, but if you want to really do it, you need at least the technological level of an intermediate or even advanced civilization." ”

Although what Hikari said was a bit abstract, Castor understood that the person who started the plasma hundred was an earthling from the TPC universe, and more importantly, the person who piloted this plane was a bird, and even the people of that universe could only build the only test machine according to this design drawing.

It can only be said that miracles are like this, and the emergence of plasma is actually due to a certain 'miracle'-like power, which human beings themselves cannot reproduce, and because they don't know what the 'miracle' is formed and what effect it brings, Hikari and Sanada Ryosuke can only deduce the prototype of this flying machine, but they can't further refine it.

"So you mean, this thing doesn't have any use?" Casto asked.

"Of course." Hikari nodded, and then suddenly thought that Castor had obtained this thing from Earth by some unknown method, and that Castor might have spent a lot of effort, Hikari finally said, "This thing. Although it cannot be made into a manned spacecraft for the time being, it is still possible if it is only used as a one-time use. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Let's go, let's go to the lab, Ryosuke and I have taken turns testing this device many times."

Casto nodded, "Okay." ”

Because of the demon shards, the Emperor specially asked people to rebuild a laboratory next to Casto's spaceship, although he said that it was so that Hikari, the leader of the science of the Land of Light, could do bold research with confidence, but Casto always felt that the Emperor was afraid that the ship would be blown up.

Casto walked out of the spaceship, and then in the next second, the lights in his eyes lit up, no way, it was really a little 'black', Casor could feel that it was not really dark, but more like some kind of 'black' substance, permeating the territory of the empire.

The distance from the laboratory was not too far, and almost as soon as Ryosuke Sanada had turned off the communication, Casto and Hikari had already arrived at the door of the laboratory.

After entering the lab and looking at the test results and simulation data, Castor finally understood what Hikari meant by one-off.

"Remove the shell, remove the operating system, directly 'ignite' and launch, wait until the fuel runs out, the engine is just scrapped, if this is also a one-time use, then it is not unusable." Ryosuke Sanada shrugged his shoulders, he had long known that this would be the case, "It's even a light-speed firework." ”

As the leader of the TPC Space Development Agency, he still has a certain understanding of Plasma Baishiki, and in the eyes of others, the reason for the termination of this project is the disappearance of Asuka Kazuma, but as the leader of the TPC Space Development Agency, he knows a little more.

There are actually more reasons for the discontinuation of this project than imagined, for example, their Space Development Agency, even if they look at the drawings, can no longer build the same spaceship, for example, some of the former designers of this project have gone to other projects, some have retired, and some have even died, for example, the supporting factory that once cooperated with the manufacture of plasma 100 has been rebuilt under the TPC system.

This is a very real problem, the larger the project, the more difficult it is to restart, once there is a problem in a link, it is difficult to reproduce, and even as time goes by, the drawings of the past are more and more difficult to understand.

Hikari blamed himself for not being able to build a light-speed vehicle using the simple technology Casor had given him, but when he turned his head to look at Casor and was about to say a few words, he was surprised to find that Casto was not disappointed, but fell into deep thought.

After a while, Casto looked up at Shikari, "Can this 'firework' you are talking about be mass-produced?" ”

"It should be possible, if you don't take into account all other factors, with the level of the military-industrial complex of the empire, it should be no problem to mass-produce this 'fireworks'."

"How big can you do? What is the maximum distance? ”

Seeing that Casto was asking very seriously, Hikari also calmed down and silently calculated in his mind, "Although it can't be scaled up, if you want to be 'big', across the empire, right?" ”

"I'll contact Little Mei Filas and let the empire's military industry move again."

Castor looked up at the universe through the mezzanine of the laboratory, there are not many people who have the ability to make the dark matter in the dark universe abnormally active, and the entire empire may only be able to do it by the emperor himself, but it can't be the emperor.

If not the emperor, then who else could it be?

Casto didn't seem to need to think much about it, and the Empire had just planned to do something to the Rebrondos, and he was in a hurry

Casto can only say that Reblondor is indeed the same as always when it comes to being unable to hold his breath.
