The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2042: Forward, Kuiper Belt

Just leave!

No stopping!

After reporting to the headquarters about going to investigate the mysterious planet, the Victory Eagle in the hangar was sent to the take-off gate. The intelligent machinery cooperated with the ground crew to carry out the necessary inspections on the Victory Eagle before take-off, especially the oxygen, which is vital in the universe. The content had to be confirmed repeatedly, and then more preparations were made to prevent accidents.

  clatter! clatter! clatter!

Yumimura Ryo skillfully carried out the pre-takeoff procedural checks, passing each item smoothly with the green light. Even though it was the same every time, he had to repeat it carefully every time.

Because a large part of the experience summarized from countless lessons is due to the failure to conduct careful inspection before takeoff.

Details determine life!

This is a sentence that should be engraved in the heart of every pilot, but will be slowly erased by time.

In comparison, Chiba Makoto and Asuka Shin were much more leisurely. They entered the cabins of the Alpha and Gamma in front and behind from the gangway, fastened their seat belts, put on their safety helmets, checked that the communication was normal, and then sat and waited for departure. As for flight control, they maintained the state of the combination and left it all to Yumimura Ryo in the cabin of the Beta.

  After the hangar was evacuated, the door leading to the outside slowly opened, and the tower also issued a signal to allow takeoff.

Ryoichi Yumura pushed the control lever, causing the Gamma, which served as the main nozzle at the tail of the combined Victory Eagle, to immediately eject a stream of scorching particles, pushing the Victory Eagle slowly forward, flying out of the open hatch and heading towards the dark void of the universe.

After reaching a certain speed, the Victory Condor was also some distance away from the Satan Space Station and Jupiter, so Yu Mimura Ryo immediately entered the communication channel of the same plane and said, "Captain Chiba, Captain Aska, if there is no problem, the new Max power system will be activated in 30 seconds and enter sub-light speed."

"Ok!"

"no problem!"

After receiving a positive reply, Yumimura Ryo immediately started the countdown, stopped the conventional power engines, and converted the main nozzles of each aircraft to the new Max power system.

At the moment the countdown reached '0', the new Max power system started, and the starlight moved and extended. If there were people around, they would be able to see that at the moment when the speed of the Victory Eagle increased suddenly, the fuselage seemed to be stretched into a thin strip, the nose had run out, and the tail was still in place, just like in a cartoon, but the next moment it all disappeared before their eyes and had already reached the horizon.

  Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up again!!!

When the New Max engine is fully powered, its maximum speed is Mach 110,000, or 37 million meters per second. It can basically circle the earth in a little over one second, but this is only 12.5 percent of the speed of light.

The scale of the universe makes even the speed of light seem extremely slow.

But for the people in the cabin, it is a different experience.

The stars in the sky are moving backwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the starlight they emit is also elongated, but not in long strips, but in intermittent lines, which is the discontinuous phenomenon of space.

At this speed, conventional radar is completely useless, and even if it detects something ahead, it cannot avoid it.

This is like a human driving a car too fast. When you see an obstacle ahead, the car will rush to it and you won’t even have enough time to turn the steering wheel, let alone avoid it. Therefore, although the Max propulsion system was tested in 2005 and flew at a super-fast speed, when it was installed on the Atlantis, the speed was greatly restricted because there was no supporting radar and other equipment, barrier and other software.

It took ten years of development work on the related supporting facilities before the Victory Eagle could reach full speed.

After learning this, Chiba Makoto also understood why the Plasma Hundred Type was sealed. It was because one cannot just increase the speed, other things also have to keep up. Otherwise, no matter how fast the speed is, it will be useless.

Just like the plasma plane, its speed can reach the speed of light, but it cannot communicate. Radars that use electromagnetic waves, lasers, etc., and human eyes, etc., are all useless. Such an aircraft, flying in the universe, is no different from a deaf or blind person. It is basically like walking with eyes closed. It would be strange if it doesn't bump into itself and bleed.

However, the sealing is by no means permanent. As humans move faster and faster towards the universe, the requirements for speed are also getting higher and higher. The sub-light-speed New Max propulsion system has gradually been unable to meet human needs. Therefore, the snack-driven navigation method that can reach the speed of light at the initial speed will sooner or later be reactivated.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about their destination this time. The distance is 20 billion kilometers, which will take about ten hours even at the speed of light. If they want to go to Proxima Centauri, it will take several years. Think about it, doesn’t it suddenly seem that it is not very fast?

This is the scale of the universe, even light appears to be crawling.

Time is always fast or slow in relative terms. When the Victory Eagle finally began to slow down, a planet emitting bright light was seen in the distance, "hanging" in the dark universe, like a bright lamp, allowing people to see it at a glance among the starry sky. Their eyes were attracted by it, and they could not help but want to go over and take a look.

"so beautiful!"

Yumimura Ryo murmured to himself that this planet was so beautiful compared to the "lifeless" rocks he had seen along the way. It had a crystal clear feeling like a gem. Compared with it, the earth seemed to pale in comparison.

"This planet can shine by itself."

Asuka Shin started shouting and screaming as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Yes, this should be the reason why the surface of this planet is full of light."

Chiba Makoto also suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the surface of this planet was as bright as day without enough sunlight. It turned out that the planet itself could emit light. The lush and vibrant surface of the planet might also be due to the heat generated by the planet itself.

I have never seen or even heard of a planet that can emit its own light and heat.

Oh, I have seen it before, that is the Kingdom of Light, but the Kingdom of Light has an artificial plasma spark tower. Could it be that this planet also has a similar light-emitting and heat-generating device?

As Chiba Makoto thought so in his heart, his eyes became brighter and brighter, because if there really was such a device, it would be great for humans who are currently developing the universe. Its effect is definitely no less than the atmosphere transformation device left by the people of the Daisis galaxy.

If there is such a device, many places that are far away from the sun and are cold all year round can be developed and utilized by humans and transformed into habitable places, even without expensive artificial suns with limited light and heat.
