On the third day of the Doyle space station, the modification of the spacecraft was finally completed.

The new spacecraft added a tandem power compartment to the original Greyhound class, and gravity was thrown to the side of the hull because there was really no place to stuff it.

Spaceship designs in this era generally used the hull of the spaceship as a shield to block the laser beam coming from the front.

The strength of the gravitational shield generally does not distort the laser - if it does, it will become a black hole, and the ship will be finished first.

So the laser will shine directly on the hull.

However, the main output of the laser is thermal damage, and the high heat of the laser can be quickly dispersed to all parts of the ship through the heat energy transmission pipelines throughout the hull.

The back of the Jackdaw's hull was already too full, and any more of it might block the expansion of the heat dissipation, so the second gravity engine had to be placed on the side.

With the second gravity engine attached, the Jackdaw increased the distance per jump, and the time between jumps was shortened if the two engines were used alternately.

In other words, the Jackdaw now has two ways to jump, one is to use two gravity engines at the same time to achieve a long-distance jump of 700 light years, after the jump, you must wait in the universe for the ship's maintenance system to complete the engine overhaul, during this time, if you are ridden in the face, you can only risk damaging the engine to force the jump.

However, this kind of face-riding situation is theoretically very rare, after all, the level of technology in this era, it is impossible to track the destination of the jump, and once you take off, no one knows where you are going - unless you have an inner ghost on the ship who sends the coordinates you entered first.

The second way to jump is to jump with a single engine.

Originally, the Jackdaw jumped up to 500 light-years, but because of the addition of a reactor and a bunch of counterweights, it can only jump 369 light-years, and the advantage is that the second gravity engine can be started immediately after the jump to continue jumping, and the total distance of the two jumps is still 700 light-years.

The Jackdaw is not a ship designed specifically for this type of sailing, and both gravity engines are outside the ship's cabin, making it impossible to access during hyperspace jumps.

Spacecraft designed specifically for this way of jumping will wrap their engines inside the cabin, so that they can be overhauled during hyperspace jumps, and as long as there are enough helium, they can theoretically cross a distance of thousands of light-years in an hour.

Faster-than-light travel in this era is the so-called pseudo-faster-than-light, and in fact, all spacecraft fly at a maximum speed of three thousandths of the speed of light in normal space, and cannot even cause a significant clock slow effect.

The gravity engine only forcibly "squeezed" the spacecraft out of normal space by manipulating gravity, and suddenly appeared in another location.

Because of this, people who often travel interstellar age faster, because a lot of time is spent in hyperspace.

Each time the person on the spaceship jumped, it consumed more than a dozen hours of life than the person in normal space.

And those who often travel interstellar in science fiction age more slowly because their spaceships travel at close to the speed of light, so there is a clock slow effect.

But this world's spacecraft is at most three thousandths of the speed of light, and the clock is slow and the clock is slow.

In addition to installing a new reactor and a new gravity engine, the Jackdaw also moved the spherical screen and the accompanying telescope from the Adventurer 7.

When Lily visited the new cabin, she excitedly asked, "Can this room be used to watch spherical movies?" ”

Gale: "Spherical movie? Why not choose a VR movie...... Oh, you're a natural person. ”

Lily doesn't have an on-board computer, no brain-computer interface, and can only wear a VR monitor to watch VR movies. But there aren't many companies making VR movies for VR displays anymore. The advantages of brain-computer interfaces are too great.

Gale's retort made Lily even more excited: "Can you put a ball movie?" ”

Wang Chao: "I've downloaded a few terabytes of movies, and you have nothing to play with." ”

"Yay!" Lily cheered.

Gale: "So we're going to ...... next"

Wang Chao immediately interrupted her: "What am I talking about?" ”

Because now Wang Chao and they all rely on the JB organization behind them to fool people, in order to prevent revealing the stuff, they haven't talked about anything about the X organization and superpowers in the past few days.

Not even in encrypted communications – who knows if communications are really encrypted.

Nimeow: "When we finish filling helium three, let's go, and we'll talk about it when there's something to do." ”

It is theoretically completely safe in hyperspace, and even if someone else secretly installs a bug on the ship, there is no way to send out information in hyperspace.

If the destination of the jump is an open area in deep space, it will take years for the eavesdropper to send out the message immediately after leaving hyperspace.

The universe is so vast that electromagnetic waves traveling at the speed of light in a vacuum can only go slowly.

Of course, although Wang Chao is very careful now, but after capturing Adventurer Seven and absorbing the superpowers of the two Adventure Clubs, they still can't help but discuss the next step, so it is not clear that now the United Star Cluster already knows that Wang Chao, a distinguished guest, is going over.

This situation can only be seen one step at a time.

While the four of them were visiting the modified spaceship, Nimeth suddenly said, "Old Kiel's staff officer has arrived, probably to find the captain." ”

Wang Chao: "Really? Is there anything that can't be said directly in the communication, and send someone over? ”

"Maybe it's a little more formal." Nimeth shrugged.

Gale looked at her, then at Lily, "I've found that as long as Lily is present and doesn't involve confidentiality, you speak instead of communicating. ”

Lily smiled: "I found out a long time ago, Nimeow wants me to be a little involved, she is actually a good person." At first, I thought she was a bad woman. ”

"Long-winded!" Nimeow frowned and scolded, "I really want to throw you away to reduce the burden, but now the situation is different, you are a superpower, and you are an important combat force." ”

Gale: "Now she wants to throw me away." ”

Nimeow: "We really want you to be a lightly armored assaulter, it's useless!" Look at you, the power furnace is even used with state-of-the-art fat armor! There is no defense at all, and if you just explode, you will be seriously injured. ”

"But the captain likes it!" Gale said and twisted.

Wang Chao looked away with a weak heart.

Wang Chaocai is not confused by the superficial armor, he just likes to watch his sister play basketball.

At this time, Old Kiel's staff officer came to the airlock of the Jackdaw, stood there and didn't go in, and asked respectfully: "Are you still satisfied with the completed spaceship?" ”

Wang Chao: "Satisfied, quite satisfied." ”

Staff Officer: "We would have liked to give away a compartment for free, but that would have added weight to the ship." ”

Wang Chao: "Send the cabin? ”

The staff officer smiled: "Considering your character, it is inevitable that you will get tired of spending time in hyperspace with so many beautiful women, so we originally planned to give you a play pod." ”

When Lily heard this, she was interested: "Amusement?" Isn't that great? ”

Wang Chao: "No, no, don't worry, it's probably not the kind of amusement you think." ”

Lily tilted her head: "? ”

Wang Chao: "The cabin we don't want to send, now the added weight has made the Greyhound class's excellent helium-3 utilization rate lower." ”

The Greyhound class is a classic design with a perfect balance in every aspect. It's a pity that Wang Chao hopes that his ship will be more resistant to beating, so he took the reactor of the Adventurer 7 over, and by the way, he also made a spherical display cabin.

In order to counteract the effect of the increased mass, an additional gravity engine was installed.

However, the installation of more gravity engines has led to a decrease in the utilization rate of helium-three, so more helium-three storage tanks need to be installed......

In short, it is a process of adding more water and more noodles, and adding more water to the noodles, which is very outrageous.

Wang Chao didn't want to make the process even more outrageous.

He skipped the delivery to the cabin and went straight to the point: "So what do you have to do?" The second-in-command of this space station, can't he just make a special trip just to ask us if we are not satisfied, right? I don't think I have such a big face. ”

The second leader of the space station, the staff officer of Old Kiel, almost couldn't control his expression.

Wang Chao also felt that he was a little too much.

Three superpowers, one can stop time, one can make everyone's prosthetic timestamp wrong with a "why don't you worship", and one can ignore any physical isolation of black people, in a marginal space station like Doyle Space Station, the face is still a bit big.

Second master: "That's right, our space station has been very lively recently, and a few people probably already know about it." ”

The Doyle space station has been docked with more spacecraft than the space station port capacity in the past few days, and many spacecraft can only float in nearby orbits. No need to ask, it's all here to gather information on superpowers.

The news brought by these people shows that in several major core star regions nearby, superpower-related information has been hyped to sky-high prices.

Nimeow tries to release some inconsequential information, such as "the video of the Galactic Singer's song and dance will not let the prosthetic body be controlled", and it all sells for a staggering price.

In the past few days, she has made a lot of Oreou - this name is the name of the currency of ancient Rome, which is actually an algorithmic currency, mainly used in the United Star Cluster.

On the other hand, since Nimeow can earn so much Oreu, it means that many people from the United Star Cluster have already arrived at the Doyle space station.

Wang Chao, who knew these things well, looked at the second master quietly to see what he had to say.

Second Master: "That's right, the official mission from the United Star Cluster has arrived. And it is said that the fleet of the United Star Cluster is already only a hop away from the station. ”

Wang Chao looked at Ni Meow.

His first reaction was that the information on his next target, the United Star Cluster, had been leaked.

Nimeow shoots a laser from her eye and sends a message with a high-security laser communication: "There should be no leaks. From what I've learned, the United Cluster may have noticed the Expedition Federation early on. ”

The rival government next door to their house may have mastered superpowers, so it's no wonder that these guys playing aristocratic republic are in a hurry.

Since they are in a hurry...... Then you can use it.

Wang Chao turned his head and said to the second master: "Distinguished guest, please arrange a meeting immediately." ”
