The personnel on the test frigate are also very nervous now. After all, it is the first test. If something happens, everyone will be dead.
"Beep beep... Start testing, target Earth orbit."
"Yes, the coordinates have been input, and the energy is being imported into the jump engine!"
"The jump engine has been started and can jump at any time!"
"Beep beep... jump!"
"Understood, jump!"
The driver looked at his right hand holding the jump lever, gritted his teeth, and pulled it down suddenly!
The people who were observing on the scientific research ship suddenly found that the battleship in front of them suddenly twisted and then disappeared instantly.
"Quickly, check the data!"
"Yes, Mr. Bai!"
A group of experts began to get busy.
"Lao Bai, the experimental ship has been confirmed on the Earth side. The appearance of the experimental ship is intact!"
"What? So fast? Contact the experimental ship immediately and ask them to report the timer on the ship."
"clear!"
At the same time, in Earth orbit, the people on the bridge of the experimental ship were collectively confused, especially the pilot.
Go ahead, I just blinked my eyes unconsciously when I pulled down the jump lever. When I opened them again, the earth was in front of me? 200 million kilometers, just the time it takes to blink your eyes
"Beep beep.. Please answer if the experimental ship hears it. Please answer if you hear it."
"This is an experimental ship. We have arrived in Earth orbit and everyone is safe!"
"Okay, great, check the jump data collector installed in the bridge immediately and see what the numbers on it are."
"The number above is 1.14!"
"What? 1.14? Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"The report is absolutely correct, it is indeed 1.14!"
The crew didn't understand what 1.14 meant, but the experts on the scientific research ship on Mars were furious.
1.14, that is the time record of the entire jump. From Mars to the Earth, the current distance is 200 million kilometers. What is the concept of 1.14 seconds
585 times the speed of light. You must know that the Star Way is only 3 times the speed of light. This suddenly increases the speed of human interstellar travel by nearly 200 times, and can ignore the Star Way and jump directly anywhere.
"Lao Bai, what's going on? What does 1.14 mean?"
"Lin Zhen looked at the hundreds of experts who looked crazy and couldn't help but ask Bai Lao!"
"President Lin, 1.14 seconds. The current distance from Mars to the Earth is 200 million kilometers. It took you several days to get here this time, right? However, just now our experimental ship completed 200 million kilometers in just 1.14 seconds. Do you know what speed this is? 585 times the speed of light, hahaha!"
Lin was stunned. He had just flown to Mars from the Earth, and it took him more than three days.
But now Bai Zixuan actually told him that the experimental ship only takes 1.14 seconds? 585 times the speed of light
At this moment, he finally understood why the hundreds of experts in front of him became so crazy!
"Lao Bai, when can this jump engine be mass-produced and retrofitted for the fleet?"
Liang Xingchen was equally anxious as Lin Zhen. What he was concerned about was when the fleet could be commissioned, but when he asked, Bai Zixuan rolled his eyes!
"What are you thinking, kid? Do you think you can just try the new equipment once and be done with it? Can it ensure safety? Let me tell you, it needs to be tested at least tens of thousands of times before you can confirm whether the safety meets the standards and whether it can be used in batches. Production, and finally installation, don’t even think about it for 2 or 3 years!”
"Well, it's okay. We have 7 years now. We can still afford to wait for 2 or 3 years."
When Bai Zixuan said that it would take at least 2 or 3 years, Liang Xingchen was a little disappointed, but then he remembered that there was a truce of 7 years, and 2 or 3 years was still worth the wait.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan on the side didn't think so. After all, the system had warned him that the war would start again in only one year at most.
Half an hour later, under Bai Zixuan's order, the experimental ship jumped again and returned to Mars. The time was still 1.14 seconds.
This allowed all experts to finally determine the speed of the first-generation jump engine, which was 585 times the speed of light.
This is a very terrifying speed. For example, the solar system is about 4.22 light-years away from the nearby star system. If it travels at a speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, it will take about 1,000 years to reach it.
If one takes the Star Path, it will take about 17 months to arrive.
But now, through the jump engine, it only takes less than 3 days to reach 585 times the speed of light. What a big improvement is this
Whether in the civilian field or the military field, the jump engine will bring explosive development to mankind.
The results of this test have brought great confidence to the top federal officials. Lin Zhen has decided to summon all his staff to significantly revise future policies when he returns. Many things that he did not dare to think or do before can be discussed again. For a moment.
After the first experiment, Bai Zixuan immediately led people to start manufacturing new jump engines. This time, ten units were to be manufactured at one time to speed up the testing.
Although Bai Zixuan was so angry with Liang Xingchen, Bai Zixuan was actually more anxious than him. He started construction immediately upon his return, striving to complete the safety test within a year.
Half a month later, ten new jump engines were completed. Liang Xingchen was also very cooperative and directly transferred 1 more battlecruiser, 1 aircraft carrier, 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and 2 frigates to Bai Zixuan for the purpose. Testing of all ship types.
Although the progress of the jump engine is very gratifying, the energy shield project is a bit troublesome.
We already have a full set of technologies, so why bother? Because the energy cannot keep up, the continuation of the shield requires a large amount of energy. However, the energy that the nuclear reactors on the current battleships can provide is simply not worth the continuous consumption of the shield.
To put it simply, the recharge speed is slower than the consumption speed, so after the shield is turned on for a while, it will not be able to continue because the recharge speed cannot keep up.
This is still under normal circumstances. If there is a battle, it will not only consume energy to maintain the shield, but also consume energy to resist attacks. For the current nuclear reactor, this is even less.
As for the nuclear fusion reactor, I'm sorry, even though it has been in the Federation for 58 years, it still can't be built, and the key technology still cannot be broken through.
However, Lin Fan didn't care about all this. At this moment, he was holding his future wife in his room.
"Have you hugged me enough? I still have some things to deal with. Let go!"
"It's okay to let go, this way!"
Lin Fan pointed to his mouth and said to Liang Xue.
"You woo...woo"
Unfortunately, before the words could be spoken, Lin Fan blocked him.
Liang Xue's eyes widened immediately, with a look of disbelief on her face, and she pushed Lin Fan a few times.
But with Lin Fan's physique, how could Liang Xue be able to push the body strengthened by the genetic enhancement potion? Not long after, Liang Xue's hands dropped down as if resigned to her fate.
Lin Fan didn't let her go until 2 minutes later. At this time, Liang Xue's face was completely red, and she turned around and ran away.
"It's so cute!"
Looking at Liang Xue running away, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.
