Fast forward a little bit.
For Wang Chao and the others, this time they fast-forwarded two jumps and stayed in normal space for a few hours to repair the spacecraft, a total of almost thirty hours.
For everyone in the United Star Cluster, it was actually just a few hours fast forward. The more than twenty hours the Jackdaw spent in hyperspace did not exist in the real world.
From the perspective of Gaius and others, the Jackdaw just jumped away, and then jumped back again a few hours later.
Then the Jackdaw sent a gravity engine modification plan and asked the United Star Cluster to provide a new ship.
Gaius had previously said that he would give Wang Chao and the others a new ship, but Wang Chao made a lot of excuses and refused to agree.
Now he has so simply agreed to get a new ship, and he has also come up with a gravity engine modification plan.
This makes people think a lot.
Gaius directly asked "Julian" who had been by his side: "Brother, has your Excellency the Life Consul received the instructions from Organization X?"
"Julian" replied: "Brother, you already have the answer, don't you?"
Gaius nodded.
Then Gaius asked a crucial question: "Why didn't he communicate his message through you instead of using ordinary communication?"
Of course, it's because this "Julian" is just a figment of your imagination. He can only say what you know and what you think he will say.
It's a pity that no one will tell Gaius this. Of course, it will probably be useless if someone does. Gaius might even be thrown into prison for slandering the Holy Organization X.
Regarding Gaius' doubts, "Julian" replied: "Organization X hopes that this information will be spread out as a deterrent."
Gaius: "Deterrence?"
"Julian": "Can't you find an engine expert to analyze the design of this gravity engine?"
In fact, these were Gaius's own speculations, but they were all said by Julian.
So these things came out of Julian's mouth.
Gaius immediately contacted the engine experts on the space station and sent the design drawings.
The engine expert's reply came immediately: "The design of this engine has several seemingly insignificant modifications compared to conventional engines. These modifications should reduce the safety of the engine, but there is no apparent improvement."
Gaius frowned: "Lower security? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. The existing engine design has been iterated for so many years, and we don't dare to modify it easily in many places. If we change it, the spacecraft may crash."
Gaius: "'Maybe'? Can't you be certain?"
Engine expert: "I... I have never seen such a modification before. The key changes are inexplicable. There is no other intention except to reduce the completeness... Is this an engine prepared to be used for murder?"
Gaius: "No, this is what the lifelong consul prepares for his own use."
The engine expert immediately fell silent.
At this time Julian burst out laughing: "Don't you understand yet, brother? If you don't understand, just let the craftsmen build this engine and test it. Let the spacecraft equipped with this engine jump from Caesar's star to Kalai's star. Jump back and everything will become clear.”
Gaius immediately asked the engine craftsman: "How long will it take to build this engine? How long will it take to ship it?"
Engine craftsman: "This is Caesar Star. It only takes twenty minutes to assemble such an engine, but it takes quite a long time to ship it, about an hour and a half."
Gaius: "I'll give you five hours. In five hours, I will see a ship equipped with this engine set off to Kalai Star, round trip! Use quantum entanglement communication to tell Kalai Star and carefully record the characteristics of this ship. , especially the features of the new engine!”
Kalai Star is an important industrial planet in the United Star Cluster. Naturally, there is quantum entanglement communication between it and the parent star, and there is more than one quantum entanglement communication channel. This is to ensure that when someone raids Kalai Star, Caesar Star will definitely know about it. .
Regarding Gaius' order, the engine craftsman was in trouble: "This... the safety factor of this engine is very low."
"This is the engine that the lifelong consul will use for his own use. Most people don't have this honor yet! Hurry up and test it."
Five hours later, Gaius appeared in person at the command center of Apollodorus and watched the spacecraft equipped with a new engine take off.
As soon as the flash of light passed, he asked impatiently: "What did the quantum entanglement communication say? Did you see the ship jumping over on Kalai Star?"
The communications officer shook his head: "No response yet."
"Ulian" said: "Brother, quantum entanglement communication requires encoding and sending takes time. It is not that fast."
Gaius paced the room anxiously.
About five minutes later, the communications officer reported: "The quantum entanglement communicator responded and started transmitting messages."
Gaius immediately rushed to the communications officer's console: "How is it?"
Communications Officer: "Calais reported that it took some time to find this new spacecraft. This ship did not have obvious infrared signatures like other spacecraft when it left hyperspace."
Gaius' mouth opened in an O shape, and his first reaction was to turn his head and look at Julian.
The "Lady Helena's envoy" smiled and did not answer.
At this time, the engine expert who was also in the command center said: "How is it possible! Can this design actually reduce the heat radiation when leaving hyperspace? I remember that the military had previously launched a 'stealth assault ship' plan, but in the end it was unable to handle leaving hyperspace. It is invalid due to the high heat in space!
"That was the first project I participated in after graduation. The topic of our group was how to reduce the heat when leaving hyperspace! In the end, the instructor who led the research group almost died of overwork, and he was saved only by the advanced medical treatment!"
Gaius looked at the engine expert, and Julian smiled and said, "But this problem was solved immediately. In fact, this is just part of the results of organization X's reverse engineering from ancient alien engines. Look at that engine expert Now look shocked! Brother!"
Julian opened his hands: "The reason why the interstellar war was inconclusive before was because the speed of destroying warships by either side could not keep up with the speed of construction. But if the speed of destruction increased to far exceed the speed of construction and replenishment, the war would return to original appearance!
"Brother, this is the gift of Organization Like the real legions of the Roman Empire back then!"
Gaius was also overjoyed. He directly copied Julian's gesture and opened his hands: "Everyone! This is the gift of Organization X! This is the cornerstone of conquering the galaxy! The engine is just the beginning, and the fleet armed by Organization X will soon be crushed All insects that dare to resist will be like the real legions of the Roman Empire back then!"
