On the day of departure, the dock of the Evolver H starship was not as bustling as usual. This is not surprising, because everyone who needs to leave is already in the starship, and only a few service personnel are left on the trestle for final maintenance and inspections.

.

"Hello crew members, I am your captain Alex, you can call me Captain Ike. Welcome aboard the Flowing Horse."

Alex's voice echoed in the restaurant and spread along the corridor to the cabin. His audience was very few. There were only three passengers, two men and one woman, plus a wide-eyed and very excited Xiaoxiao. The other passengers were all in the room, and other ships

The staff were all at work and had no interest or time to listen to his voyage speech.

But it doesn’t matter, the “viewing screen” in each cabin will loop through the ship’s precautions so they won’t miss them.

"The dining area is at the front of the ship, and the kitchen utensils are only used by the crew, or under the supervision of the crew. The food is very simple, basically calories, protein and vegetarian fiber, but every night we will provide a formal dinner, just

The relative time on the ship is 18 o'clock. The toilet and bathroom are your own, but pay attention to saving water. We use tiered water prices on the ship. I would like you to pay extra after using up the free share, but you don't have to."

Alex didn't hear anyone laughing, so he continued: "The journey to Beolo is expected to take three weeks, and we will not stop during the journey unless we need to throw troublemakers off the ship. From the activity area and the medical cabin to the rear are

Passengers are not allowed to enter the crew's living area. If you need to contact me, there are intercoms in the dining room and activity room. The cargo hold is also a restricted area, but if you need to maintain cargo or pick up things, contact me and I will accompany you and everything will be safe.

Recorded in surveillance."

"There are cards and several board games in the cabinet in the activity room, and the holographic game console can also help you pass some time. But I would be very grateful if you could stay in the cabin longer during the voyage. Okay, I wish you all

have a nice trip."

Xiaoxiao clapped vigorously, but the other three passengers just looked at him sideways without saying anything. Alex gave Xiaoxiao a thumbs up to express his gratitude, then quickly turned around before his blush was noticed, and walked away.

Go up the stairs, push open the isolation door of the horse head cab, and get in.

Sister Amy was sitting in the "captain's seat" with her two slender and toned legs resting on the control panel made up of a touch screen. She tilted her head back, turned slightly to the side and saw Alex, and said

: "Dear brother, how was the response to your speech?"

"Meeting expectations." Alex stepped forward and put his hands on the back of the chair. "Dear sister, this is my position."

"Is it yours? Why didn't I see it written anywhere?"

"If you look under the armrest on the right side of the seat, you can see a piece of paper with my name written on it. It says: Captain Alex's position, dear sister, don't take it."

"I've definitely seen that place, but there is absolutely no such note." Amy twisted her body and the seat rotated left and right, showing a shameless look. "Captain, I think you will control the left front

The note was found there."

"Sister..." Alex almost moaned.

"Okay, who calls you my brother?" Amy put her legs down, then stood up, patted Alex's cheek, and walked to the console on the left front. She pressed her hand on the touch screen

, and moved all the control interfaces she needed from the captain's position. "Seriously, will your speech to those backward creatures later be effective?"

"I will listen to those who want to hear it. I only care about people who are worth caring about. I don't need to please passers-by - I don't have the energy or ability." Alex pressed his palm print on the screen, and then sat down

He adjusted his position on the chair. "Amy, have you received permission to take off?"

"This is the first time in my life that I have received permission to take off from another race. Endless computing power! If the crew members before me knew this news, they would probably laugh their heads off." Amy kicked off the floor, and the seat came with it

She turned in a circle, and when she turned to face Alex, she said: "Yes, sir, it's time to take off. We are the first in the entire dock."

"Sir? That sounds good." Alex also found the approved command from the communication information area of ​​the console. He was not very skilled in the operation, so it was understandable that he moved slowly. "Aha, I didn't expect us.

You can still be ranked first. Other starships will definitely pay attention!"

"You're right, they will definitely be looking at us. If those guys used their attention to watch the excitement, they should have been able to make a technological leap long ago, right?" Amy made two strokes on the touch screen.

Send a message to Alex's captain's screen. "Look, this is the message from an hour ago. The Evolver starship completed its escape with a gravity slingshot, but the situation outside the dock area is not good enough, and there are

A lot of leftover radiant energy.”

With just one glance, Alex understood the intention behind the message: "Ah? The people at the dock want our ship to go out to explore the road? Is this of any benefit to them? No matter whether we succeed or fail, we will

It is an isolated incident and will have no impact on their subsequent success or failure."

"That's why I say they are backward creatures who can't even understand a basic coin toss." Amy did not stop operating the starship as she spoke. Each system of the Liuma has completed self-tests one after another and is ready to take off at any time.

"But the starship that leaves first will get a bonus of one hundred computing power coins, so it's not for nothing, right?"

"You still have money to get? That's good." Alex carefully checked the external environment information sent by the dock, and then asked: "Do you think the shield of our spacecraft can withstand the residual heat of radiation?"

"Are you worried about the countercurrent thruster and the technology and equipment of the composite evolved humans? My dear brother, the weakest point of this starship is the captain's experience, and the least likely thing to happen is the composite evolved humans' equipment." Amy said.

His hand had already touched the spherical control rudder but he took it back. "Sir, do you want to make the first flight yourself?"

"Thank you!" Alex rubbed his hands and took over the flight control from the console, and the data and instruments changed accordingly. The spherical control rudder in front of him floated, like a fluorescent light ball floating in the air. Eric

Kes put his left and right hands up together, and the light ball displayed buttons and function descriptions where the ten fingers touched. Theoretically, one hand can control all flight postures. When the second hand is put up, it only activates various functions.

Auxiliary function, but it looks stable and cautious.

The relative movement of the ball and the console base will affect the movement posture of the starship. It can accelerate and decelerate before and after rising and falling, roll and turn around, and it can all be done with one ball. After entering the vast space, there are no obstacles around it, and the ball is spherical.

The rudder can even be completely unnecessary, just calculate the route and leave the rest to the hyperdrive. Alex really wants to try the starship's gravity bubble warp drive now, but let's fly out first.

"Rise..." Alex gently pulled the ball upwards, and the particle recoil thrusters began to exert force, and the countercurrent thrusters were not far behind. There are many examples of hybrid power and hybrid engines used in starships. At this time

The compatibility of Sadunus technology fully demonstrates its extraordinary capabilities. Of the two types of power, one is far inferior to high speed at low speeds, and the other is a completely new and unknown device, but the Sadunus operating platform

Constantly analyzing the feedback from the flight attitude and combining it with the environmental data, the starship can always be kept stable.

In the first mate's position, Amy kept looking at the flight attitude control, her hands never moving away from the spherical rudder. The Liuma slowly rose, rotated steadily, and then headed in the direction of the exit. She raised her eyebrows and said

: "It's flying well. The system of the Sadunus is quite passable. However, you turned on the flight assist a bit high. It is very stable, but it is not suitable when you want to maneuver."

"Step by step, step by step." Alex said he was lying if he said he wasn't nervous. If he accidentally touched another starship, he might have to pay another sum of money. "Sister, take a look at the air tightness.

The frequency of the barrier, don’t let our shield hit it.”

"Do you still need to teach me about this kind of thing? I've already done it."

"I'm just worried that you have been a captain for a long time and are used to letting your subordinates worry about it, so you have forgotten these steps."

"I never omit the work I should do. The bigger the position, the greater the responsibility, and the more computing power is needed. Ike, you must continue to be meticulous and cautious at all times. There are only advantages and no disadvantages."

Alex nodded, and then began to push the spherical rudder forward, allowing the Liuma to slowly accelerate. The dock was separated from the outer space environment by an airtight barrier, which was a special shield that specifically blocked the passage of physical objects.

Therefore, the air pressure can be maintained. A sunken underwater fighter also has such a barrier and can work in an environment with a water pressure equivalent to eight thousand meters.

Starships equipped with shields can adjust the energy emission frequency of the shield so that it is the same as the airtight barrier, so that the starship can squeeze out of the airtight barrier. Of course, there are also starships without shields, and they can

You can only enter and exit through air-tight doors, which always wastes some air, so the terminal usage fee will be higher.

When the shield formed by the counterflow thruster comes into contact with the airtight barrier, the Liuma shakes slightly, as if it has touched a layer of cotton cushion. This is a characteristic of the counterflow thruster, which generates kinetic energy when it encounters other energy fields.

, that is, changing the motion attitude of the spacecraft. This will make the Liuma slightly bumpier than other types of starships, but if the countercurrent thruster is as good as the Starship Research Institute claims, this bump can be completely ignored.

The Liuma slowly sailed out of the airtight barrier, and there was already a vacuum outside the ship. The environmental circulation and life support systems automatically switched to closed mode. So far, everything is running normally.

It still has to fly some distance from the airtight barrier to reach the energy shield of the Evolver starship. After receiving the approval of the Composite Evolver, the Liuma will face the escaping energy of nuclear fusion. The spacecraft has been registered.

Therefore, the exit approval has already been issued, and the composite evolved people only need to scan the Liuma as a routine.

"It's about to sail out!" Alex said: "Adjust the energy distribution, and the counterflow thruster's shield mode stores energy and is on standby."

Liuma passed through the energy shield and immediately felt a resistance from the front. Outside was the energy of the remains of the sun's porridge. Although it was not comparable to the surface of the sun, the radiation pressure was equivalent to flying near a solar prominence. The countercurrent thrusters felt the energy impact.

, acquired the wave and particle characteristics of this energy, and quickly converted the shield form. As a result, the resistance only existed for a few seconds before disappearing, and the rest of the flight was very smooth.

"Hehe, it really withstood it, using about 40% of the rated power - this shield is really good."

"Your requirements are really low." Amy shook her head and said, "Are you getting used to it? It's your first long-distance voyage. I'll set the flight path. You can watch and learn first. It's okay to collide at low speeds.

If the speed is not set properly and it is sucked in by a large mass object, the ship will be destroyed and people will die."

Alex nodded, agreeing with his sister's statement, and then watched her operation with wide eyes, learning her algorithm ideas, and striving to be safe, efficient, and economical.

The two siblings were teaching and learning, very focused, but they did not ignore the situation behind them. After they left the port, a starship sailed out of the energy shield. In less than three seconds, they had to open the shield to the maximum.

Then it fled away from the radiation zone at full speed, appearing to be in a hurry. But even so, part of its armor showed signs of melting. Although it did not affect the air tightness of the entire ship, it still looked a little embarrassed when it was red and shiny.

The starships on the dock had to postpone their departure and recalculate the shield capabilities one by one. They could only look at the Flow Horse with envy as it entered warp speed and disappeared from sight. They must have been talking about it:
Chapter completed!
