"Making a planet fly? That's not scientific."
"Not only that, based on the optical imaging results just observed, it is inferred that this planet was flying at super-light speed before. It is just because the speed exceeded the speed of light that we never saw it with optical imaging. Until it began to slow down to below the speed of light. Then we saw the image of it just catching up with it.”
"Let a planet fly at faster than light speed? Even advanced civilizations can't do such a thing."
"So, this is our secret transaction of Chaos Energy, and it was discovered by a higher civilization?"
"Run quickly."
In an instant, the two parties who had just gathered together to complete the deal fled in all directions.
The temporary caravan ran the fastest, and ten warships of different shapes flew in all directions, and the birds and beasts scattered.
Originally they were put together temporarily to do one thing.
If there is hope of winning, then they can naturally maintain a cooperative relationship.
But once faced with a desperate situation, you will naturally run as fast as you want, and there is absolutely no ambiguity in selling your teammates.
Even the captains of these ten battleships were all covetous of the curvature engines they were about to get, and they couldn't care less about it at this time.
They even threw the small spaceship containing the chaotic energy directly there.
This small spacecraft was originally planned to be handed over directly to the Republic of Mali after obtaining the curvature engine to complete the transaction.
Now that they don't have the warp engine, they just don't want it anymore.
I just hope that the higher civilizations are interested in the energy of chaos and can just let them go.
Although the Republic of Mali did not flee directly, it was almost the same.
Under a unified command, the ten warships directly discarded the ten warp engines that had been released from the ship's warehouse. Then the ten warships uniformly began to accelerate in one direction.
Although he was heartbroken, the commander understood that at this time, compared to the ten curvature engines, the most important thing was not to be caught by higher civilizations.
Otherwise, the trouble will be huge. When the higher civilization comes to investigate directly, the entire Malian civilization may face catastrophe.
As for the ten discarded curvature engines, there are no traces of their Malian civilization on them, because the curvature engines were originally traded from other advanced civilizations.
Although the loss of ten warp engines made the fleet of the Republic of Mali feel distressed, at the critical moment, the commander still made a choice.
In this way, both parties simply discarded the items they were preparing to trade, turned around and ran away.
Without hesitation at all.
It is true that the items they traded this time were too sensitive.
If it is another transaction, for example, the Malian civilization exchanges the curvature engine for some precious materials in the caravan. Then when both sides see advanced civilization, they will not behave like this at all.
Facing the unknown higher civilization, as long as you remain humble and don't be arrogant, higher civilizations are also reasonable and will not do anything to you without reason.
The curvature engine is very precious in the eyes of ordinary interstellar civilizations like the Mali civilization, but in the eyes of advanced civilizations, it is nothing, and they will not go to war over it at all.
However, once chaos energy is involved, even advanced civilizations will no longer be calm in an instant.
Higher civilizations have done this more than once or twice to go to war with each other for half a unit of chaotic energy.
Can you, an ordinary civilization, take away the energy of chaos in front of my eyes?
Because of this, both parties to the transaction would turn around and run away as soon as they saw the appearance of advanced civilization.
Now that he ran away, he only lost the trading items.
If caught, not only the trading items would be lost.
So both parties made a common choice immediately.
"Warp drive operating at full power."
"The space distortion reaches the rated value."
"Entering the warp acceleration phase."
In an instant, the ten warships of the temporary caravan that were scattered in all directions, and the ten warships of the Republic of Mali that acted in unity, all entered the warp flight state at the fastest speed.
Because the curvature engine does not involve kinetic energy acceleration, but drags the target to move through the curved space, it can quickly reach the highest speed in a short period of time.
But this short period of time also takes time.
So the escaping warship was dragged by the space bubble formed by the curved space, first at one thousandth of the speed of light, then one hundredth of the speed of light, and further one tenth of the speed of light, climbing rapidly upwards.
It looked like it was going to reach the limit of twice the speed of light very quickly, but no one dared to let down their guard.
Because everyone knows that the curvature engines sold by advanced civilizations are definitely not the most advanced. The curvature engines used by advanced civilizations are definitely faster than twice the speed of light.
So now they can only pray that the advanced civilization that suddenly arrived will be far more interested in chaotic energy than they are, so that they can have a chance to escape successfully.
"Human Lin Xu, the target has started to escape. Are you going to arrest him?" Taiyin asked.
"Catch." Lin Xuyan said concisely.
Lin Xu didn't understand why these aliens ran away as soon as they saw the earth.
But this was Lin Xu's first real encounter with aliens. Before, whether it was the people on the White Star or the people on the Test Site No. 1 planet, they were all human creations that had various relationships with humans.
So Lin Xu really wanted to know something about this star field from the mouths of these aliens.
It can be seen from their transactions with each other that they belong to different civilizations.
In other words, there may be exchanges between different civilizations in this star field.
So Lin Xu also wanted to communicate with them and learn something about this star field.
So with Lin Xu's order, tens of thousands of autonomous mechanical aggregates that had lurked into the asteroid belt immediately began to act.
Compared to the hundreds of millions of autonomous mechanical aggregates on Earth, tens of thousands of autonomous mechanical aggregates are naturally nothing.
But when these self-disciplined mechanical aggregates stopped hiding themselves and started acting completely undisguised, tens of thousands of aircraft carrier-sized autonomous mechanical aggregates rushed out from behind asteroids and spread throughout the entire asteroid belt in an instant.
For a time, the sky was covered with black water.
These autonomous mechanical aggregates naturally have no way to fly faster than light, but they carry a curvature engine with them.
A group of one hundred autonomous mechanical aggregates carries a curvature engine about a kilometer in diameter.
Tens of thousands of autonomous mechanical aggregates carry hundreds of curvature engines.
One hundred autonomous mechanical aggregates instantly disintegrated, and then a curvature engine was wrapped in it. Following a burst of complex mechanical sounds, a temporary ship about three kilometers long and capable of traveling at super-light speeds emerged. It's done.
In this way, tens of thousands of autonomous mechanical aggregates, combined with hundreds of curvature engines, turned into hundreds of temporary spaceships about three thousand meters long in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the warp engine started and chased the twenty warships that were escaping.
