Who still falls in love in the interstellar era?

Chapter 93 Guests from the United Star Cluster

On the third day at Doyle Space Station, the modification of the spacecraft was finally completed.

The new spaceship was based on the original Greyhound class and added a series of power cabins. Because there was really no room to plug it in, the gravity was thrown to the side of the hull.

Spacecraft designs of this era generally use the hull of the spacecraft as a shield to block laser beams coming from the front.

The strength of the gravity shield generally cannot distort the laser - if it could really distort the laser, it would become a black hole, and the spacecraft itself would be destroyed first.

So the laser will shine directly on the hull.

However, the main output of the laser is thermal energy damage. The high heat of the laser can be quickly dispersed to various parts of the spacecraft through the thermal energy transmission pipelines throughout the hull. Generally, as long as the equipment is not directly irradiated, the laser does not have much destructive power.

The back of the Jackdaw's hull was already too full, and placing it any further might block the expansion of the heat dissipation device, so the second gravity engine could only be placed on the side.

After installing a second gravity engine, the distance of each jump of the Jackdaw is increased, and if the two engines are used alternately to jump, the time between jumps can also be shortened.

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, it must wait in the universe for the spacecraft's maintenance system to complete the engine overhaul. , if someone rides on your face during this period, you can only forcefully jump at the risk of damaging the engine.

However, this kind of face-riding situation is theoretically very rare. After all, with the level of technology in this era, it is impossible to track the destination of a jump. Once you take off, no one knows where you are going - unless there is a spy on your ship who inputs your coordinates first. Sent out.

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

Originally, the Jackdaw could jump up to 500 light-years, but due to the addition of a reactor and a bunch of counterweights, it can now only jump 369 light-years. The advantage is that after the jump, it can immediately start the second gravity engine to continue jumping, two The total distance of the jump is still 700 light years.

The Jackdaw is not a spacecraft specially designed for this kind of navigation. The two gravity engines are outside the cabin of the spacecraft and cannot be inspected during a hyperspace jump.

Spaceships specially designed for this kind of jump will have the engine wrapped inside the cabin so that it can be inspected and repaired during the hyperspace jump. As long as there is enough helium-[-], it can theoretically cross a distance of several thousand light-years in an hour.

The super-light speed of this era is the so-called pseudo-super-light speed. In fact, the flying speed of all spacecraft in normal space is at most three thousandths of the speed of light, and it cannot even cause an obvious clock slowdown effect.

The gravity engine simply manipulates gravity to "squeeze" the spacecraft out of normal space and suddenly appear in another location.

Because of this, people who travel frequently will age faster because a lot of time is consumed in hyperspace.

Each time the people on the spacecraft jump, they consume more than ten hours of life than those in normal space.

Those who travel frequently in science fiction age more slowly because their spaceships travel at close to the speed of light, causing a clock slowing effect.

But the spacecraft in this world can only reach three thousandths of the speed of light at most, so the clock is slower than the clock.

In addition to installing a new reactor and a new gravity engine, the Jackdaw also moved the spherical screen and matching telescope on the Adventurer [-].

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

Lifeng: "Spherical movie? Why not choose VR movie... Oh, you are a natural person."

Lily does not have a human computer or a brain-computer interface, so she can only wear a VR monitor to watch VR movies.But now there are not many companies shooting VR movies for VR displays.Brain-computer interface has great advantages in this regard.

Li Feng's retort made Lily even more excited: "Can we show a spherical movie?"

Wang Chao: "I have downloaded several terabytes of movies. I will play them for you if you have nothing to do."

"Okay!" Lily cheered.

Gale: "So what we are going to do next..."

Wang Chao immediately interrupted her: "What did I say?"

Because now Wang Chao and the others are relying on the JB organization behind them to fool people. In order to prevent the secret from being exposed, they have not talked about anything about X organization and super powers in the past few days.

Not even in encrypted communications - who knows if communications are actually encrypted.

Nimiao: "Let's set off after the helium-[-] is filled. We'll talk about anything later."

In theory, hyperspace is absolutely safe. Even if someone secretly installs a bug on the ship, the information cannot be sent out in hyperspace.

If the destination of the jump is an open area in deep space, then even if the eavesdropper sends the message immediately after leaving hyperspace, it will take many years to be received.

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

Of course, although Wang Chao is very careful now, after they had just captured Adventurer No. [-] and absorbed two superpowers from the Adventure Club, they still couldn't help discussing the next plan, so maybe the United Star Cluster has already I knew that the distinguished guest Wang Chao was coming over.

In this case, we can only take it one step at a time.

While the four of them were visiting the renovated spaceship, Nimiao suddenly said: "Old Kier's staff has arrived, and he may be looking for the captain."

Wang Chao: "Really? If you have anything to do, why don't you just talk to me directly over the communication instead of sending someone over?"

"Maybe it feels more formal." Nimiao shrugged.

Liefeng looked at her and then at Lily: "I found that as long as Lily is present and there is no confidentiality involved, you will speak instead of using communication." Lily smiled: "I have discovered it a long time ago. Nimiao wants to I felt a little involved and she was actually a good person. At first I thought she was a bad woman."

"What a waste!" Nimiao frowned and cursed, "I really wanted to throw you away to reduce my burden, but the situation is different now. You are a superpower and an important combat force."

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

Nimiao: "We really want you to be a lightly armored assaulter, but it's no use! Look at you, the power furnace even uses the most advanced fat armor! It has no defense at all. If you just explode, you will be seriously injured."

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

Wang Chao looked away with a guilty conscience.

Wang Chaocai was not fooled by the superficial armor, he just liked watching girls playing basketball.

At this time, Old Kiel's staff came to the airlock of the Jackdaw. He stood there and refused to go in. He asked respectfully: "Are you satisfied with the modified spaceship?"

Wang Chao: "Satisfied, quite satisfied."

Staff officer: "We originally wanted to give away a cabin for free, but that would increase the weight of the spacecraft."

Wang Chao: "Send me a cabin?"

The staff officer smiled: "Considering your character, you will inevitably get tired of spending time in hyperspace with so many beauties, so we originally planned to give you an amusement cabin."

Lily became interested as soon as she heard this: "Amusement? Isn't this good?"

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

Lily tilted her head: "?"

Wang Chao: "The added weight of the cabin we don't want to send has reduced the Greyhound's originally excellent helium-[-] utilization rate."

The Greyhound class is indeed a classic design, with a wonderful balance in all aspects.It's a pity that Wang Chao wanted his ship to be more resistant to beatings, so he modified the reactor of Adventurer [-] and also installed a spherical display cabin.

In order to offset the impact of the increased mass, an additional gravity engine was installed.

However, the installation of additional gravity engines has led to a decrease in helium-[-] utilization, so more helium-[-] storage tanks have to be installed...

In short, it is a process of adding noodles if there is too much water, and adding water if there is too much noodles. It is very outrageous.

Wang Chao didn't want this process to become more outrageous.

He directly skipped the part of delivering the cabin and went straight to the topic: "So what are you doing? Tangtang, the second-in-command of the space station, can't just make a special trip to ask us whether we are satisfied or not? I feel that I am not that big yet. It’s my face.”

The second boss of the space station and Old Kiel's staff officer almost couldn't control his expression.

Wang Chao also felt that he had gone too far.

Three superpowers, one who can stop time, one who can make everyone's prosthetic time stamps incorrect by saying "Why don't you", and one who can ignore any physical isolation and isolate black people, in a fringe space station like Doyle Space Station , the face is still a bit big.

Second Boss: "That's right, our space station has been very busy recently, and some of you probably already know about it."

The number of spacecraft docking at the Doyle Space Station in the past few days has exceeded the capacity of the space station port, and many spacecraft can only float in nearby orbits.No need to ask, they are all here to collect information about super powers.

The news brought by these people showed that in several major nearby core star regions, information related to superpowers was sold at sky-high prices.

Nimiao tried to release some irrelevant information, such as "Galaxy Diva's singing and dancing videos will not allow the prosthetic body to be controlled", and the results were sold for astonishing prices.

She has made a lot of money in the past few days - this name is the name of ancient Roman currency. It is actually an algorithmic currency mainly used in the United Star Cluster.

On the other hand, since Nimiao can earn so many Oliu, it means that many people from the United Star Cluster have arrived at the Doyle Space Station.

Wang Chao, who was well aware of these situations, looked at the second master calmly to see what he was going 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 one hop away from this space station."

Wang Chao glanced at Nimiao.

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

Nemiao fired lasers from her eyes and sent information using highly confidential laser communication: "There should be no leaks. From what I know, the United Star Cluster may have noticed the Exploration Federation very early."

The competing political system next door may have superpowers. No wonder these guys playing aristocratic republic are worried.

Since they are in a hurry...then we can take advantage of them.

Wang Chao turned to the second master and said, "Dear guest, please arrange a meeting immediately."
