Chapter 236 Emperor ([-])

The empire has become darker and darker recently for some unknown reason. Although the empire itself is built on the dark zone of the universe, 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 was restricted from causing light pollution in the empire, people in the empire could see tens of thousands of light years away as long as they raised their heads. Stars, and even, if your eyesight is better, you may be able to see the only shining planet in the sky - Ultra Star.

"Don't even think about watching Ultra Star. The environment in the empire is worse than I imagined." Hikali stood on the podium. He was coaxed by Castor and Emperor Ampera to come to the empire's school. Having just finished his lecture, he looked at the Imperial students below who were listening carefully and said with some complaints and distress, "Be careful on the way back. The recent cosmic environment in the Empire is really weird. If you encounter difficulties on the way back, Yes, remember to contact the teacher and Mr. Casto as soon as possible.”

Hikari's slightly cowardly words made the students below smile without malice. Nostra, from the Mephilas clan, stood up and said respectfully, "Teacher Hikari, although we know that you care about us, But if I remember correctly, you should be a scientist. So, do you need us to take turns sending you back to Mr. Casto’s spaceship?"

"It's not necessary. Although I'm just a scientist, my eyesight is still good. In addition, tell Barbaru and others who didn't come to the class that you are students, and the most important thing is to study. I know you want to accomplish something big." , but if they don't bring homework to class next time, I'll let you know how scary scientists are"

The time it took for Hikari to return to Casto's spaceship obviously took twice as long as he expected. Casto asked curiously, "Did you drag me down? That's not true. I remember the science of cosmic civilization you taught them." General history, this class is mainly about the mainstream scientific development of the universe, so it shouldn’t be delayed, right?”

"Of course not. I have been teaching graduate students in the Kingdom of Light. How difficult is it to give a popular science class to a group of primary school students?" Hikali shook his head, and then pointed to the cab helplessly. "Although the Ampera Empire was established in the dark zone of the universe, isn't it too dark?"

Yes, the so-called dark universe in 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. It is used to refer to those desolate places without stars in the universe. In the early Galactic Federation, they were placed on the star map. Look, it's just a big dark area.

In the eyes of early cosmic civilizations, life would not be born in such a dark zone of the universe. From that time on, the largest dark zone was called the dark universe.

Of course, the earliest cosmic civilization to call this area this way has long since disappeared in the long river of history, but this name has spread. Although with the continuous emergence of civilizations in the dark universe, other civilizations in the universe have become aware of the darkness. There is the possibility of civilization appearing in the universe, but the name has not changed.

"However, the recent dark situation in the empire is not quite right. It is really outrageous." Casto agreed with Hikari's words, "Although the emperor does not like light, the empire strictly limits the number of civilizations and planets. , ports, spaceships, and even the upper limit of light emission for individuals, but the current situation is really too dark."

Little Mefilas, who had just finished handling the affairs within the clan, was also on the spaceship. His brother finished handling the affairs of the empire and hurried back to the Kingdom of Light. Now he has become the agent of the Mefilas clan again. The patriarch, he raised his head and looked at Hikari and Castor, "Don't talk about you guys. The empire does fall into darkness from time to time due to the cosmic phenomena caused by dark matter and negative energy, but this time it is indeed a little dark. The visibility The reduction has even led to frequent accidents on the waterway."

"It's really strange for you to say that." Hikali said this, but looked at Casto, the four lightbulb eyes conveyed the message to each other with their eyes, and then nodded silently.

"Speaking of which, Nostra, our Mephilas clan, how is your performance in class? I heard that he thinks highly of your courses."

"Except for liking to perform, he behaves very well." Hikali thought for a moment, and then gave a positive evaluation from the perspective of a teacher, "The only problem is that there are only a few talented people in the classroom. Students with the same name, half of them will be absent every time they go to class, who taught them this trick of taking turns?"

Hikari naturally knew what those students were doing, and he even knew that the emperor had chosen a name that Casto didn't like very much for this plan, but he still couldn't accept students not coming to class.

"There is no way. Although your and Mr. Castor's classes are very attractive to students and allow them to see the universe from different perspectives, in the end, the emperor's orders are still more important."

Casto looked at Hikali, who obviously didn't agree with this sentence, shrugged and said helplessly, "My good director, just be satisfied, they have already given you a lot of face, if it weren't for the fact that you are from the Kingdom of Light The director of the Space Science and Technology Bureau, even the Four Dark Kings, those students may not give him face."

"But don't they also give you face?" Hikali asked puzzledly.

"Nonsense!" Ryosuke Sanada's voice came from the communicator, "Anyone who dares to challenge the emperor, who dares not to give him face?"

"If that's the case," Little Mephiras heard Sanada Ryosuke's voice and retorted with some embarrassment, "As an Earthling, didn't you also refute the emperor at the port of the Imperial Star?"

Having said this, little Mefilas seemed to have thought of something, and turned around and walked out of the spaceship, "Speaking of which, when I was at the Imperial Port last time, I seemed to have some good ideas for transformation. I wouldn't even mention this. forget."

"Hey! You just said that you should listen to me more when he is away!" Casto shouted loudly, "If you have new ideas, remember to let me review them first!"

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

Hikali looked at the interaction between Castor and Mephiras strangely. He always had the illusion that Castor was doing well in the empire.
"By the way." Hikari turned his head and turned on the screen, and saw Ryosuke Sanada in the laboratory wearing a white coat and doing some tests on an engine. "How is the research progress of the plasma [-]-type? It may be popularized." Sex?”

"It's not realistic. Just like you said, we can make a model of this thing based on the principle, but we can't restore it to a spaceship like the Atdis." Sanada Ryosuke shook his head.

Hikari sighed. He and Yamanaka had been together for a while. Although it didn't last long, he was relatively able to adapt to the human way of thinking. But because of this, he didn't have that much interest in re-engraving the Plasma Hundred Shiki. confidence.

"As I thought, although the level of science and technology on the earth is high, not all of it can be reproduced." Hikali explained to Casto, who was a little confused next to him, "It's like you are replicating Although the principle of Atdis is the same, the low-level civilizations of the empire actually used some more advanced materials technology and dynamic technology to replace some unreasonable things in your drawings." "Earth civilization is very It’s strange that many of their scientific technologies are usable, but they don’t know the principles.” Hikali further analyzed, “So the key to the success of a spacecraft like Plasma Baishi is probably some kind of human-made Something that goes unnoticed.”

"Just like airplanes, human research on airplane aerodynamics is actually not enough for humans to manufacture aircraft at the current level, but human aircraft can still continue to develop. This is human talent."

After Hikari finished speaking, he pointed at Ryosuke Sanada on the screen, and said helplessly to Casto, "Take this plasma Hyundai as an example. Some basic theories seem feasible, but if you want to really do it, At least it requires the technological level of an intermediate or even advanced civilization."

Although Hikari's words were a bit abstract, Castor understood. The person who started Plasma Hundred Shiki was an Earthling from the TPC universe. More importantly, the person driving this plane was Asuka Ichima. Even if he was from that universe, At present, people can only build one test machine according to this design drawing.

It can only be said that miracles are like this. The emergence of various forms of plasma is actually due to some kind of 'miracle'-like power. Human beings cannot reproduce it, and because they don't know what the 'miracle' is formed and what it brings. Therefore, Hikari and Sanada Ryosuke can only deduce the prototype of this aircraft, but they cannot further improve it.

"So what you're saying is that this thing is useless?" Casto asked.

"Of course." Hikari nodded, and then suddenly thought that Casto got this thing from the earth in some way. Thinking that Casto might have spent a lot of effort, Hikari finally said, "This Although it cannot be made into a manned spacecraft for the time being, it can still be used if it is only used for one-time use."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's go to the laboratory and have a look. Ryousuke and I have taken turns testing this device many times."

Castor nodded, "Okay."

Because of the demon fragments, the emperor specially had a laboratory built next to Kastor's spaceship. Although he said it was to allow Hikali, the scientific leader of the Kingdom of Light, to conduct bold research with confidence, Kastor Stowe always felt that the emperor was just afraid that the spaceship would be bombed.

Casto stepped out of the spaceship, and the next second, the lights in his eyes lit up. There was no way, it was a little 'dark'. Casto felt that it didn't seem to be darkness in the true sense, but more like darkness. Some kind of 'black' substance permeates the empire.

The distance from the laboratory is not too far. Almost as soon as Ryosuke Sanada cut off the communication on the other end, Castor and Hikari have already arrived at the door of the laboratory.

After entering the laboratory and looking at the test results and simulation data, Casto finally understood what Hikari meant by one-time use.

"Remove the casing, remove the operating system, directly 'ignite' and then launch. When the fuel is exhausted, the engine is just scrapped. If this is considered a one-time use, then it is not unusable." Sanada Ryosuke shrugged. He had already I knew the result would be like this, "It's just a light speed firework."

As the leader of the TPC Space Development Bureau, he still has a certain understanding of the plasma Hyakushi. In the eyes of others, the reason for the termination of this project was the disappearance of Asuka Kazuma. As the leader of the TPC Space Development Bureau, he knows something A little more.

The reasons for the cancellation of this plan are actually more than imagined. For example, the Space Development Agency cannot create the same spacecraft again even if they look at the drawings. For example, some of the previous designers of this project have gone to other projects. Some are retired, and some are even dead. For example, the supporting factories that once cooperated in the manufacture of plasma have been rebuilt under the TPC system.

This is a very real problem. The larger the project, the more it is like this. Once interrupted, it is difficult to restart. Once a problem occurs in a link, it is difficult to reproduce. Even as time goes by, the previous drawings are getting worse and worse. Hard to understand.

Hikari somewhat blamed himself for not being able to use the simple technology given by Castor to build a light-speed aircraft, but when he turned to look at Castor and planned 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 Hikali and asked, "Can the 'fireworks' you mentioned be mass-produced?"

"It should be possible. If all other factors are not considered, with the empire's military industrial level, mass production of this kind of 'fireworks' should be no problem."

"What's the maximum it can do? What's the furthest distance?"

Seeing that Castor's question was serious, Hikali calmed down and silently calculated in his mind, "Although it can't be enlarged in proportion, if you want it to be 'big', how about across the empire?"

"I'll contact Little Mephilas and ask the empire's military industry to make another move."

Castor raised his head and looked at the universe through the mezzanine of the laboratory. There were not many people who had the ability to make the dark matter in the dark universe extremely active. Only the emperor himself in the entire empire could do it, but he could not be the emperor.

If not the emperor, who else could it be?
Castor felt that this issue did not require much thought. The empire had just planned to take action against the Reblondos, and he became anxious.
Casto can only say that Reblondo is indeed as good as ever in terms of being unable to keep his temper.
