Chapter 84 Speeding up

There was a firefight on the Liuma and three people died. Three days later, only Alex was still thinking about this incident, and everyone else who knew about it had forgotten about it. Without those three people, there was no one.

Alex had to admit that he was making too much of a fuss about any changes to the rhythm of life on the ship.

The Flowing Horse flew calmly and steadily as always, gradually approaching the Beolo star. At Amy's suggestion, the Flowing Horse made a full-speed voyage in order to test the ultimate performance of the warp engine.

The twin nuclear fusion engines were running at full power, barely reaching warp speed 5, which is 213 times the speed of light. The warp speed engine seemed to have some remaining power, but the fusion engine had reached the upper limit of safe rated power. Alex felt quite satisfied with this result.

, but Amy scoffed.

"The destroyer can reach a warp speed of 9.97, 6000 times the speed of light. The gravity slingshot does not use warp speed technology, but if it uses warp speed..."

"Stop talking, please consider the price, okay? If I can buy a fighter jet with the money I spend on this engine, then I will definitely shout long live." Alex looked at the parameters of the equipment running on the console screen.

, said: "If you bypass the safety settings, the fusion engine can be stronger in a short period of time, maybe it can be pushed to about 5.5. I remember that the Starship Museum at Caiqi Pier introduced that, except for composite evolved humans, the average curve of a starship

The speed is 4.4. Liumahao is pretty good.”

Amy shook her head: "You can believe in everything in the universe, but you can't believe in the word average. If the entire universe is average and atoms are evenly distributed, I'm afraid I won't even be able to put together a single molecule."

"So, apart from composite evolved humans, which civilization has the fastest starships in the universe?"

"The Bode people's experimental spacecraft once reached a warp speed of 9.6, which is equivalent to 1900 times the speed of light, but so far it has only been achieved in experiments and has not been put into practical use. The starship that can be used as an armed force is still the migratory bird battleship of the Luoma people.

The platform can lead an entire fleet to move at 9 times warp speed, which is equivalent to 1,500 times the speed of light."

"Hmm, do you think the gap between them and composite evolved humans is not that big?"

"Not big? Okay, let's do the math. Five nine-warp speeds, that is, 9.9999, is almost 200,000 times the speed of light. It will take 10 years to fly to the next galaxy adjacent to ours, spanning ours.

This Milky Way also takes 6 months. In comparison, it takes more than 1,000 years for the Bode people's experimental spacecraft to reach the adjacent Milky Way, and 53 years to cross it. There is no point in using it at all. If there is no gravity slingshot, the five-nine curve will

Speed ​​ships are too slow for this universe, too slow!"

"Oh, now I understand. It's becoming more and more technically difficult to reach higher speeds. And compared to the scale of the universe, for a long time, the improvement in warp speed capabilities was very slow, and it had no practical value at all, and it would

Impact study. Assuming that it is just a small step at the beginning, and if you can see the effect at every step, then every step afterward is equivalent to climbing to the sky. Not only is it difficult, but it is useless until you climb over it. How did the compound evolved people get over this step?

"

"It all depends on the Zero-Order World. The Zero-Order World has gathered the wisdom of all the compound evolved people in the past and can always maintain high-intensity and continuous research. There is no need to repeat the path of learning from scratch and then developing it. At the same time, the Zero-Order World also supports the multi-pronged progress.

Research has strict demands on intelligence, and we have not died on the road of warp speed." When Amy said this, he paused for a while, and there was a little worry in his words: "But this time, retreating to extinction is an encounter.

When I reached an obstacle, I realized that I had gone the wrong way. But where exactly I went wrong, even the computing network didn’t tell me, which I still can’t figure out.”

"You just taught me: Don't get entangled in things that you are not capable of. If the zero-order world needs the help of composite evolved people, it will definitely notify you. Think about it, even returning to the realm of extinction is not mandatory. Those who are willing to stay outside

You can still be outside, but you can no longer provide the same protection as before. Therefore, returning to the realm of extinction does not mean that composite evolved people encounter life and death problems, right?"

"It makes sense." Amy forced a smile. If the zero-level world requires all composite evolved people to return to the realm of extinction, it may be a good opportunity for her to change her profession and start to advance again, but it also means that she will leave Alex.

Alas, Alex must have been too deeply influenced by himself, so he chose the career direction of starship captain when he replaced his brain-controlled body and started over. With the establishment of the Extinction Realm, the faceless men took on more patrol and

With the responsibility of guarding, the demand for starship captains of composite evolved people has dropped sharply. Not only her, but many other starship captains may also lose their positions or be trapped in a state of having nothing to do, which greatly reduces the ability to advance and grind.

speed.

The only choice is to stay outside the realm, even if there is only a small and slow cargo starship, otherwise the future of the captain's career will be bleak. Thinking of this, Amy had an idea in her mind: If Alex insists on being a captain in the starship,

If she develops as a captain, she can be transformed into a starship first mate. In this way, her previous skills, knowledge and training will be less affected, which may also be a way to solve the problem.

"Ike, at the current speed, we will arrive at Beolo in three days, four days earlier than originally planned. Do you want to announce it on the radio?"

"Do you still need to broadcast? The only group of passengers left on the ship that Hong and Lu found through connections are that I can just say something to them individually." Alex stretched out and stood up from the captain's seat.

Get up. "I'll go talk to them right now."

The group of two men and one woman reacted very calmly to the news that they would arrive early. They just said "We understand" through the intercom through the cabin door. They didn't even open the door and didn't even see each other. The three passengers didn't even see each other.

Since boarding the ship, the individual has always kept himself in the cabin and never appeared in the dining room, kitchen, activity room or even the corridor. They hid from everyone on the ship and listened to the captain's speech in the dining room when setting off, actually to get food:

They took all the food rations included in their tickets from the freezer and stayed in the cabin to eat.

They were very cautious, and even made Alex think they were a little neurotic, but considering that they would be the only passengers to survive this time, what else could Alex say? If it were him, what would he say?

Knowing that all the other passengers had been killed by the captain, they would never leave the cabin. At least there would be one more door.

Mr. Jin and Boss Ming also had dull expressions after hearing the news of their early arrival, but at least they had a little more reaction than the threesome. Mr. Jin made an appointment with the captain to get off the cargo hold tomorrow and check and prepare their shop ship. That was

A Vine-class spaceship that can carry a tow bucket is used to carry them to places where they can make money. Of course Alex will agree to this request.

Finally, there is Red and Green. Like the trio, she does not leave the cabin at all, but she does not shut out Alex. Alex has been looking for an opportunity to ask her about Star Governor and the planet Beolo.

Things about the Laboratory Animal Center Lima Dun.

"I haven't heard of Lima Dun, but I have heard of the Experimental Animal Center on Beolo Star. They collect genes from all over the universe and purchase surviving freaks, deformities and weird mutations all year round. Behind them

It’s the Genetic Council of Beolo Star, it’s considered an official organization, and they don’t have the habit of asking questions, so there’s generally no problem in doing business with them.”

"Star Governor is a position in the Trade Alliance. I don't know which Star Governor you are talking about, so I can't make an evaluation." Red and Green used a mechanical hand to smooth the hair hanging down by their ears, and used this short time to adjust it.

Thoughts, and then said: "The Trade Federation once wanted me to become a Star Governor, and invitations were sent. But after hearing that I no longer had any subordinates, the Trade Federation withdrew the invitation and replaced it with thugs who came to steal things."

"The Star Governor must have resources and channels, and be able to manage commercial activities in a large area for the Trade Alliance. It is a position that is maintained by interests. If you are generous enough, it will not be a problem to pull up a starship fleet. Although it is definitely not as good as

He joins the regular army, but he can be more unscrupulous and despicable. If you mess with such a person, you must be careful."

Alex scratched his head and said: "No matter what you do, you have to be careful, there will be no more Star Governor. Hey, if you are not careful enough, then run into the realm of extinction. No matter how strong the Star Governor is, can he catch up?"

"That's right. You have this advantage and are in an invincible position. But outside, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Only the goal that you value most is worth investing everything in. The rest are just trivial matters and not worth it. Spend energy. You don’t need to join the Trade Alliance, and there is no need to deal with the Star Governor. What he wants is to pursue business interests and guard against competitors. You are not keen on these two things, right?"

"You're right." Alex nodded and said, "I knew it after listening to your introduction. There were three people on the ship who claimed to be working for the Star Governor and they pulled out guns and opened fire on me.

Kill them and throw them off the ship. Their cargo is more than four hundred sleeping pods, which are to be handed over to the Experimental Animal Center on Beolo. I am going to send the cargo there, how about you go with me?"

"Ah?" Honglu's eyes widened and he stood up. "You swallowed the Star Governor's goods? Hiss, this is not good news. Can you throw the goods away? As long as you throw it out at warp speed, you will

It’s best to disappear without a trace.”

"There were four hundred lives in there."

"Hiss...ah...it's really hard to deal with this thought." Honglu sat down again, holding her chin with the robotic arm, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She thought for a while, and then said: "Captain, four hundred people

The sleeping cabin is also worth a lot of money, and you really shouldn’t give it up. Besides, even if you throw it away, it may not be able to calm the situation. Let me go to deliver the goods, and you don’t show up, so that the whole thing will not be connected with the starship.

, the most you can find is me."

"No. It's not okay for you to take the blame for the people I killed."

"Taking the blame? Uh... I can probably guess what it means." Honglu smiled sweetly, shook his head slightly, and said: "Thank you for your concern, but I have my own reasons. My relationship with the Trade Alliance has always been

No, if they demolish my store, they have already been prepared for my revenge, so this extra thing will not hurt them at all."

"My actual situation is that I can't deal with them for the time being. If I can cause them some trouble, it will make them afraid and increase my safety. People who are rich but incompetent are the most dangerous. I want to avoid that kind of

Situation." Honglu said: "And I'm not doing this for nothing. I want to get half of the money for these dormant cabins."

"I'll give you 60%, and I'll give the rest to Amy and use it on the starship." Alex said this, which meant that he agreed.
