The outer space of Mars is as bustling as a busy city, with space buildings dotted here and there, a constant flow of spaceships, plus huge space factories and large spaceships in the distance. Everything tells you that this is a
A highly developed interstellar nation.
In a void hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Mars, the huge spacecraft manufacturing factory affiliated to the Xinghan National Academy of Sciences gathers scientists, engineers from various fields of Xinghan, and many Xinghan senior executives.
Today is the day when the warp engine was officially completed and warp flight began. It is a great milestone moment. Although Xinghan does not have a dedicated historian, this day will be firmly remembered in next year's history textbooks.
Within the huge space factory, in a huge room, many scientists and engineers were conducting final inspections on the warp engine in front of them.
This warp engine, named 'Heart of Space-Time', is more than 200 meters long, more than 100 meters wide, and more than 300 meters high. It is a very huge behemoth.
In addition to its huge size, its mass is also very large, because it is all made of degenerate materials. Its huge mass even makes the warp engine itself have a lot of gravity.
"There is no problem, it can be installed on the Hanwu Emperor spacecraft."
The final inspection work was very tedious, but it was definitely an indispensable part. With the busy work of many scientists and engineers, the inspection work was successfully completed.
"Install it~"
Yang Hongyan, the chief designer of the ‘Heart of Time and Space’, nodded and issued the order.
Soon, in the empty hall, scientists and engineers quickly evacuated the hall with the help of robotic arms, and the air compressor began to pump out the air in the hall.
Then the outermost protective layer of the hall began to open layer by layer, exposing the hall directly to the void environment of the universe. A Qinglong-class spaceship began to slowly park over.
The mass of the warp drive is so great that it is difficult for robotic arms to move it, so a spacecraft is needed to slowly drag it.
As the Azure Dragon-class spacecraft slowly flew outward, the super-massive warp engine also slowly moved outward, towards a dock.
Here at the shipbuilding dock, there is only one spacecraft parked in the entire giant shipbuilding dock that is more than ten kilometers long, and that is the largest spacecraft at present, the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft.
Decades have passed, and this spacecraft, which was given the name of the great emperor, has not embarked on a journey of interstellar expansion, but has only wandered around in this small shallow bay of the solar system.
Now, it will finally be equipped with soaring wings, and from then on it will soar across the vast sea of stars, becoming the pioneer of the expansion of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the stars.
The warp engine slowly approached the huge Hanwu Emperor spacecraft. The original design of the Hanwu Emperor spacecraft had already reserved the position of the warp engine. Of course, this was expected at Qin Yi's request.
.
Because Qin Yi knew very well that building a "Hanwu Emperor" spacecraft was not an easy task, so when building it, he had to take into account what would happen after mastering the warp engine in the future.
If nothing happens to this spacecraft, its service life will be very long. As long as the core engine and energy source are fine, it will be normal for the new 300 years, the old 300 years, and the next 300 years to be repaired and repaired.
things.
In the technology tower, Qin Yi has read a lot of relevant information. In some cosmic civilizations, this spaceship is a very precious thing. In many cases, it can become a family heirloom and be passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
, tens of thousands of years is not a problem.
Although the 'Hanwu Emperor' has a history of several decades, its performance in all aspects is still very perfect, except for the dust formed by the adsorption of cosmic dust on the surface.
The location of the warp engine was predicted in advance and the design of the warp engine was reserved. Therefore, the spacecraft "Hanwu Emperor" only needs to be installed with a warp engine, and it will be a powerful spacecraft capable of traversing the universe.
There is a nuclear fusion reactor on it, which is enough to provide huge energy to drive the warp engine.
The installation work of the warp engine went very smoothly, and without any accidents, the warp engine was installed on the "Hanwu Emperor" spacecraft.
Soon, the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft began to slowly leave the dock and fly towards the depths of the asteroid's void. Along with the long blazing white tail flames spitting out from its tail, the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft left the dock.
Mars is getting farther and farther away.
The test of this warp engine must be far away from Mars. All this is naturally for the safety of Mars. There are even not many people on the "Hanwu Emperor" spacecraft, and they are afraid of any unexpected situations.
The 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft was very fast. In just a few days, it flew from the outer space of Mars to the asteroid belt, and was ready to start testing the warp engine in the asteroid belt.
Here at the General Institute of Mars and Outer Space Xinghan Science Research Institute, many of Xinghan's top well-known scientists have gathered together. The virtual watch is connected to the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft, and they are constantly paying attention to the information coming from the 'Hanwu Emperor' universe.
News about the spaceship.
"Arrived at the scheduled location~"
"Hanwu Emperor requests instructions~"
Here in the asteroid belt, the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft slowly and continuously decelerated, and finally parked quietly in the empty void of the universe.
Huang Zhibin, the captain of the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft, also sent instructions to the Mars base camp.
"Perform self-examination~"
Chief Engineer Yang Hongyan issued the order according to the procedures that had been set in advance.
Through quantum communication technology, the latest instructions were also directly transmitted to the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft. The super quantum computer on the spacecraft immediately started the set program and began to perform self-tests.
"The nuclear fusion reactor is normal~"
"The anti-gravity engine is normal~"
"The gravity restraint device is normal~"
"The warp drive is normal~"
“Perfect condition, can be tested at any time~”
The self-inspection speed of the ‘Hanwu Emperor’ is very fast. Each test data comes out quickly. The condition is perfect and can be started at any time.
"Leader, do you want to start testing the warp engine~"
Yang Hongyan came to Qin Yi and asked for instructions very respectfully. This is a public place, so the title has also changed.
"Let's get started~"
Qin Yi nodded and gave the order.
"Start testing the warp drive~"
Without hesitation, Yang Hongyan issued the order for the test.
The asteroid belt's 'Hanwu Emperor Hao' spaceship is located here. In the surrounding void, small spaceships are densely distributed. These small spaceships carry a variety of instruments.
Completely record all the data from this test.
In addition to these small spacecraft used for monitoring, there are also a variety of large numbers of disposable monitors launched from the "Hanwu Emperor" spacecraft. These monitors will "Hanwu Emperor" spacecraft
The surrounding void is under surveillance, and not even a fly can escape their surveillance.
The order from the base camp was quickly conveyed here, and the "Hanwu Emperor" spacecraft also began testing.
At the nuclear fusion reactor on the spacecraft, a super powerful laser ignited the nuclear fusion reactor, and the entire nuclear fusion reactor began to emit a steady stream of huge energy.
All this huge energy pours into the warp engine under the powerful gravity constraint device.
"Buzz~"
Soon, as the majestic energy was input into the warp engine, the warp engine began to work, a huge force began to be released, and the surrounding space was slightly turbulent like water waves.
This kind of turbulence is very similar to the turbulence of the water surface, but it is also very different. The water ripples on the water surface are on a plane, but the ripples in this space are a whole, just like the stirring of a force in the water.
, causing the entire body of water to begin to stir.
At first, this agitation was very weak. Wave after wave, the void where the 'Hanwu Emperor' spacecraft was originally very calm was now beating like a heart.
As the energy input from the nuclear fusion reactor to the warp engine became larger and larger, the fluctuations also became more and more distant. Soon, the entire void produced countless ripples and fluctuated continuously.
As the fluctuations become more and more distant, the void where the 'Hanwu Emperor' spaceship is located begins to twist and fold. Sometimes the two spaceships seem to be very close, very close, very close, as if they are about to...
They collided together, but in fact the distance between them was thousands of kilometers.
Just because of the distortion and folding of space, the two spaceships seem to be together. This feeling is very contradictory and makes it difficult to believe what is happening in front of you, but it is very real in front of you.
"Buzz~"
The void was originally very empty, lonely, and without a trace of sound. However, as the warp engine started, the fluctuations in the space became larger and larger, accompanied by a buzzing sound. This sound was not another sound, it was space.
The sound produced by fluctuations is different from the sound we usually produce when speaking.
It can spread in the void, seemingly using space as a medium, or it can spread without any medium at all. The speed is very fast, traveling in the void towards the distant void at an unimaginable speed.
