Chapter 988 Curvature Engine Test

Destroying the star gate of the ε Pegasus star system is a very good strategy, and it can block the Palesean civilization at a distance of 2.54 million light-years.

However, Epsilon Pegasus is 673 light-years away from Earth.

Assuming that human beings have created a curvature engine and reached 1% of the speed of light, then it will take 67,300 years to fly from the earth to Pegasus ε.

Due to the limitation of the speed of space travel, the plan to destroy the Pegasus ε stargate is completely impossible to implement.

This result makes people very helpless.

The more technologically advanced human beings are, the more they realize the insignificance of their own civilization, and the more they feel that their technological level is insufficient.

Obviously, technology has soared by an unknown number of levels compared to ten years ago, but the more it improves, the more it discovers the gap in technology.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the speed of space navigation, which is like a lock stuck on the neck of cosmic civilization. As long as this lock cannot be opened, civilization will always be restricted to the initial stage.

...

Since the end of the Star Beast Civilization War, the Supreme Council has been implementing a super technology plan.

Dedicate a lot of resources to scientific research.

The technological explosion continues.

"The curvature engine is out? So fast!"

When Fang Yuan heard that Shenzhou would be used to test the efficiency of the curvature engine, his first reaction was surprise.

Because, according to the progress Yang Yuping said before, it will take at least half a year to complete this research.

"That's not true. It's not that fast to make the curvature engine. However, the laboratory has repaired the curvature engine on the Cleaner spacecraft and is going to install it on the Shenzhou for testing." Liu explained on the phone.

Although the curvature engine was not actually manufactured, it is definitely a good thing to be able to repair the curvature engine of the Cleaner spacecraft and use it for testing.

Moreover, the research progress of this project can be accelerated by testing the curvature engine.

As the captain of the Shenzhou, Fang Yuan wants to use the Shenzhou for testing, of course he must get the captain's consent first.

Fang Yuan is naturally happy to carry out this test.

After all, this is the first curvature engine in the true sense of mankind. Although it was transformed with a curvature engine of a higher civilization, is it still far from manufacturing if it can be transformed?

...

This morning.

The entire crew of the Shenzhou was in place, and the researchers from the curvature drive laboratory and the engineering team installed a triangular pyramid-shaped engine with a side length of nearly ten meters on the Shenzhou.

"Why is it in the shape of a triangular pyramid again?" Niu Dazhi leaned over to look, and made the first complaint.

"According to the research on the Palesean civilization, it is indeed found that the Palesean civilization has a paranoid preference for triangles, which may be related to religious culture. Their spaceships are triangular pyramids, so each face is a triangle." Zhao Anya Before In order to interrogate Rahu and the Cleansers, the Palesean civilization was studied.

"Why is this engine so small? The side length of the Cleaner spaceship is 1.6 kilometers, and this thing is less than 10 meters. Can it be pushed?" Ye Zheyu also expressed his doubts.

"In fact, there are not only one curvature engine on the Cleaner spacecraft, but three. Three curvature engines should be enough. And the curvature engine is only the curvature of the universe space. In addition to the curvature engine, the spacecraft also has conventional propellers. "Eve knows the Cleaner spaceship very well.

In her own words, she has become good friends with the Cleaner spaceship.

After the curvature engine is installed.

Fang Yuan ordered all the systems of the Shenzhou to enter the self-inspection. After the end, connect the curvature engine, start the engine, and the battleship lifts off.

"Fang Yuan, the power of this curvature engine is very high, the acceleration must be smooth, otherwise the Shenzhou may not be able to withstand it." Yang Yuping quickly reminded in the communication channel.

After Fang Yuan listened to the instructions, he looked at Eve and said, "Let's start."

Eve jogged quickly on the control screen, and said in her mouth: "The curvature engine is activated, the power is 10%, and it is moving forward at full speed."

After speaking, she pushed down the lever.

The Shenzhou shot out in an instant, with huge acceleration,

Some crew members felt tremendous pressure.

The acceleration lasted for a while, and the speed didn't count as a surge, and soon reached one percent of the speed of light.

"One percent of the speed of light, the speed is still increasing, but the increase has slowed down, almost reaching the limit speed." Eve read out the speed data.

"Power 20%, continue to accelerate."

Fang Yuan is quite satisfied with the power of this curvature engine, with only 10% of the power used, the speed of Shenzhou reached 1% of the speed of light.

"yes!"

Eve answered loudly, and then continued to increase the power of the curvature engine.

The speed of the Shenzhou soared again, and this time, the hull of the Shenzhou began to shake, and some parts even slightly deformed due to the huge acceleration.

This slight deformation is invisible to the naked eye.

However, Eve immediately noticed that the Shenzhou was a bit overwhelmed, and quickly said: "Captain, the Shenzhou may be reaching its limit, and if it speeds up, it may fall apart."

Fang Yuan had expected it in advance.

Why use Shenzhou to test the curvature engine?

That is because the Shenzhou itself is very special, and the hull uses a lot of strong nuclear force materials.

If it is another space warship, once the curvature engine is activated, the hull may not be able to withstand the pressure and disintegrate.

"Try to repair, continue to accelerate. Niu Dazhi, use strong nuclear materials to reinforce the hull when necessary." Fang Yuan did not stop the Shenzhou, but continued to accelerate.

This test must go on, and only by obtaining all the data of the curvature engine test can it provide the greatest help for the research of the curvature engine.

Eve used the "Metal Controller" and "Mechanical Heart" to first repair the slightly deformed parts of the hull.

When some parts were not repaired enough, Niu Dazhi was asked to use strong nuclear force materials to reinforce them.

"50% power, continue." Fang Yuan continued to order to increase the power of the curvature engine.

"5% of the speed of light, we have reached 5% of the speed of light." Eve looked at the speed display on the control screen excitedly.

"continue."

Although the speed of the Shenzhou has reached a height that humans cannot reach at this stage, Fang Yuan always feels that something is not right.

"No, no! The battleship is about to disintegrate, the keel is shaking, and it is about to break!" The crew shouted from the communication channel.

at the same time.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and the entire Shenzhou shook violently.

Fang Yuan immediately asked: "What location?"

"Area A6, the horizontal keel is broken, the second one is broken, and the third one is broken. Do you want to slow down?" Eve quickly replied.

"Keep accelerating."

Fang Yuan made a prompt decision, and after giving the order, he immediately ran out of the bridge, rushed to the A6 area, raised his hand to create strong nuclear power materials, and forcibly pulled back the broken hull.

Just restored area A6.

Eve's voice came out again from the communication channel: "The B6 area next to it is also broken, the hull of the battleship is broken, and the armor is falling off... There is also a problem in the A3 area."

"Beef balls, area B6!" Fang Yuan rushed towards area A3 while speaking.
