With the blessing of powerful energy provided by divine power, the space around the spacecraft was curved into an arch shape that was narrow in front and wide in the back, pushing the spacecraft weighing hundreds of thousands of tons forward at an unimaginable speed!
However, Harrov and others inside the spacecraft could not feel how fast the spacecraft was because they had completely lost their reference.
Before, you could rely on distant stars to roughly locate your position, but now in front of everyone, the light curtain that allows you to view the outside world seems to have malfunctioned, and is full of chaotic light spots...
Raphael immediately turned to look at Aurora and asked in confusion. "What is going on? Speaker Aurora, is your projection magic broken?"
Aurora frowned as she looked at the projection screens in front of her.
She was sure that there was nothing wrong with her magic, but the screen that was supposed to show the scene in front of the spacecraft was only a blur of strange colored light spots, and the screen that showed the scene behind was completely black.
"This is proof that the spacecraft has reached or exceeded the speed of light!" Linn explained with a smile.
Harrov and others paused for a moment, then looked at Lin En in surprise.
"I think you haven't forgotten how we see things, right?" Linn reminded.
"It's because our eyes receive electromagnetic waves that can be recognized, and then they are converted into corresponding images in the brain." Arad was the first to answer. Naturally, they have not forgotten this basic theory, and then they also realized what Linn said about light. What is the curtain?
Everything they see is actually information brought by light!
Since the speed of light is extremely fast, for people who are in a low-speed state on the planet, this information exchange is almost real-time. Even the power of the legendary wizard is difficult to sense this subtlety, which is crossed by light. Delay caused by distance.
But it's different now. They are flying beyond the speed of light. At this time, the information flow transmitted by electromagnetic waves will accelerate towards them.
"This is very similar to the sound barrier..." Dennis smacked his lips, and soon thought of a similar phenomenon, which was the sound barrier encountered by fighter jets when they broke through the speed of sound.
It's just that light has no mass, so the obstruction to the spacecraft is minimal.
Linn nodded. This is similar to the red shift and blue shift phenomena caused by the expansion of the universe, but it is more exaggerated.
To put it more appropriately, they are flying forward at super-light speed, so the information flow transmitted from the front is compressed, just like when watching a video, pressing the accelerator several times, or even ten times.
In the universe, the only thing they can see, and the most common thing, is the light from a large number of stars. Countless light points pass by the projection screen at extremely fast speeds, naturally turning into a large chaotic light and shadow.
As for the light behind them, because the flying speed is slower than the spacecraft, it cannot catch up with them at all, and the projection screen will become pitch black.
In fact, during the previous test flight at half the speed of light, this kind of 'delay' in information flow already existed. After all, the curvature engine is different from the traditional propulsion method. For them, light...that is, the transmission speed of information is not immutable.
It's just that they are in the dark and wide space of the universe, so it is difficult to notice this.
"Then how should we locate the target now? If a battle breaks out, attacking and aiming will also be a big problem." Harrov asked in a deep voice.
Linn thought for a while. This was indeed an urgent problem that needed to be solved. After thinking about it, he responded.
"Perhaps we can start from a higher dimension..."
In low-dimensional space, the propagation speed of information cannot exceed the speed of light. This is limited by the rules of the universe, so we can only start from higher dimensions.
Of the two methods he could think of, the first was to use quantum entanglement technology for positioning.
For example, they had visited the Brown Star once before, and Linn conveniently left a quantum coordinate here. Through the high-dimensional quantum entanglement effect, the position of the planet can be determined in real time even at super-light speeds. .
The second is to include the entire area within the scope of God's Domain and establish a four-dimensional space-time model, so that no matter where the spacecraft flies, he can know the direction.
Both methods have shortcomings. The universe is really too big. Even if it is just the space area of a star system, it is at least ten billion times that of the Eternal Star. To transform it into a divine realm, the magic power required will be An astronomical figure.
As for quantum coordinates, although they are easy to use and low-cost, you only need to place three different coordinates in the current star system, and you can determine their current location based on the relative distance between the spacecraft and them.
But this is only suitable for navigation within the star system. The span between stars is calculated in light years. It is simply impossible to accurately determine the position based on a few quantum coordinates, let alone locating flying enemies. .
All the wizards present began to think about it. This was the first time they had encountered this problem, but they came up with some solutions after working together.
For example, Harrov suggested that since the information flow they obtain will be accelerated, then as long as they know how many times it has been accelerated, they can naturally calculate their accurate sailing speed at the moment. After all, the transmission speed of the information flow is a fixed value. , which is the speed of light.
As long as the navigation speed is known, the three-dimensional model of the galaxy based on their previous observations can also determine its own position.
Lin En shook his head and did not approve of this approach. Under normal circumstances, it might really be useful, but it was different now. The curvature engine created a distorted space-time field on the outside of the spacecraft.
The space ahead is being continuously stretched in. Since the distance is shortened, from the perspective of low dimensions, both the light carrying information and the spacecraft exceed the speed of light.
Of course, the real situation is that the distance between the two parties has been greatly shortened due to the distortion of time and space.
So the light curtain appears not because their speed is really many times faster than the speed of light, but because the light itself is accelerated when it crosses this space...
As everyone continued to discuss, Lin En suddenly interrupted.
"Stop the spaceship, we're coming!"
"So fast?" Harrov paused and immediately looked at the atomic clock placed inside the spacecraft, staring at the gradually passing time.
Counting from the time they set off, only about a minute and a half had passed.
Although Vittorio was also a little surprised, he still reacted the moment he received the order.
The continuous flow of divine power in the power chamber was suddenly cut off, and the surrounding distorted time and space gradually returned to smoothness according to the rules of the universe...
It only takes less than twenty seconds to go from super-light speed to completely stopping the spacecraft. This is the power of the curvature engine!
Even though Vittorio's reaction was already very fast, when they came to a complete stop, they realized that the Brown Star, their destination, had been far behind them.
It's incredible how fast it is!
To know where they started, it was about a billion kilometers away from the Brown Star, and it would take a full hour at the speed of light!
And now I just use...
"One minute and fifty seconds!" Harrov said extremely excitedly, and this was still far beyond the Brown Star, and the real arrival time would only be earlier!
Anthony and others were also secretly frightened. They didn't think that the speed of the spacecraft had reached twenty or thirty times the speed of light, so it could only be the difference in the speed of time!
"You'll know after a few round trips and check the time!" Linn reminded.
Vittorio nodded, then launched the spacecraft to the Brown Star, where he reinstalled an atomic clock, and then returned to the moon.
After going back and forth several times, they not only tested the stability of the power system of the spacecraft, but also measured the speed. The speed limit they could reach has exceeded 1.5 times the speed of light!
This is undoubtedly a new milestone!
Using a living god as fuel and energy, the increase in speed can only be described as amazing!
It’s just that Ella, the greatest hero, obviously doesn’t think so. The continuous super-light speed voyage has almost drained her of her divine power. If Linn hadn’t removed the fog of death at the critical moment, her consciousness and soul would have been destroyed. Obliterated.
Linn was thinking about the speed of time. Last time, he discovered that the speed of time on the spacecraft did not match Einstein's gravitational time dilation formula at all, and there was a big gap.
This is probably because when the spacecraft is sailing, the surroundings are not like normal large-mass celestial bodies, which are centered on a round point and spread in all directions, but a special structure in which space and time in front are compressed and space and time behind are expanded.
So this requires a new equation of space curvature per second to complete the calculation requirements.
"It seems that the alien civilization is nothing more than that. It seems that their speed has not exceeded the speed of light, right?" Raphael said with a smile.
When I heard that the unknown civilization killed Diana, the God of the Moon, and was able to jump in time and space and fly at sub-light speed, it scared Raphael so much that he was always on tenterhooks. There was even a great wizard who pessimistically believed that the opponent The moment of arrival is when the Parliament is destroyed.
Now they were not only able to create space-time nodes, but also achieved a comprehensive surpass in speed, so much so that Raphael had a feeling in his heart that the other party was nothing more than this.
All the wizards present also nodded, and the haze that had been condensing in their minds suddenly dissipated.
Seeing Harrov and others becoming more and more optimistic, and even thinking that they have surpassed alien civilization now, Linn shook his head speechlessly and said.
"We can create a super-light spacecraft so quickly just by using some tricks. Unless we capture the second god, we can only produce one spacecraft like this, but the opponent's spacecraft can be mass-produced. It's completely There may be tens of thousands of sublight speed spacecraft..."
Not to mention, the materials they used to make the spaceship were the opponent's technology from a thousand years ago. How to solve the light curtain and accurately locate the enemy while flying at super-light speed are all problems that need to be solved!
This is also the disadvantage of jumping directly into technology. Many things are pieced together here and there.
However, there is no other way. Even with the support of the database in the brain, coupled with the magical energy of magic, a few years is really too short, and it is not enough to directly transform a magical agricultural civilization. A big step towards interstellar civilization.
Under Lin En's words, the gradually increasing confidence of Harrov and others returned to where they were before, and they began to focus on how to solve these problems.
"How much time do we have?" Aurora asked.
"Judging from the distance, it's about four or five years!" Lin En said hesitantly. The other party's speed had stabilized. During the time when they were preparing to attack foreign lands and build interstellar ships, they had never made any long-distance space jumps.
Four or five years is not a long time, but it is not a short time. Counting from the time they left the Wizarding Land to counterattack the kingdom, it has only been less than eight years.
"Just stay here and take care of yourself!" Linn turned to look at Ella who was trapped in the Klein bottle, and reinforced it again to prevent her from escaping.
…
After defeating Ella, the former enemy, in the following months, the Council focused on the spoils of the war - a foreign land filled with a large amount of magic power.
This is undoubtedly another source of energy, but it is also a huge mess!
After Lin En spent time and effort to expand the divine domain to the entire plane, he realized that the situation on this planet was much worse than he imagined. The loss of a large amount of material had turned the land into a large desert, and the entire plane was on the verge of collapse. The planet is on the verge of disintegration.
The three [positron cannons] that penetrated deep into the core of the earth obviously made this situation worse, directly affecting the planet's gravity and rotation. This plane will completely collapse in up to five years.
Even with Lin En's current strength, he cannot save a planet that is about to collapse. He can only delay the arrival of the body moment as much as possible, and let the engineering team hurry up to guide some useful materials and as much magic power as possible into the Eternal Star. .
In the new round of parliament, a large number of MPs quickly formulated a five-year plan to move out of the foreign land after a period of discussion. However, due to the time difference between the two places, it was not as long as five years at all, so they could only try their best. Choose some of the most important things to move…
"Rescuing minerals is the first priority. We must explore the interior of the foreign land as quickly as possible to see if there are some rare minerals that are not found in the Eternal Star." Vittorio suggested, such as the minerals they used to make the Corona Medal. It comes from a foreign land.
Sanchez, who is proficient in plastic surgery, also added. "And those monsters living in foreign lands can all be rushed to the Eternal Star, and we can set aside a dedicated area for their care."
