Chapter 179 Engine Overload
After distributing the equipment.
Lu Chen drove a spaceship named Wannian Fengxue and led a group of ship girls to the star base.
This place is located 150 million kilometers away from the earth, above the sun, and is a veritable space kingdom.
The sky was full of stars all around, and the sun was burning brightly beneath my feet.
After landing from the parking area, Lu Chen discovered that the number of people in the star base had increased compared to before.
About 10,000 scientific research lolis and hundreds of thousands of universal angels and Bri are engaged in space technology research here, covering many fields such as superluminal technology, starship construction, and giant weapons.
A little girl with long golden hair and a white dress came to greet Lu Chen. Her name was Chishou Natsuyo. She was the smartest little girl in the scientific research team and also the scientific research supervisor here. She was highly trusted by Lu Chen.
Beside her, there are several other ship girls including Hood, Prince of Wales, Vanguard, etc. They are responsible for taking care of the daily lives of the lolis and supervising the construction work of the star base.
Seeing Lu Chen coming, the little lolita who were accompanying him gathered around him and kept calling him "Onii-chan" and "Onii-chan".
Lu Chen smiled and interacted with the lolis: "How is life at the star base?"
A ship girl wearing knight armor, with golden hair and emerald eyes answered: "The basic conditions needed for life are all fine, but it's too far away from the earth, and I feel a little lonely. But the good thing is that it's very convenient to watch the stars at night."
The vanguard led the way, and accompanied Lu Chen on a tour of the star base with other stationed ship girls. Compared to the last visit, this place has become more prosperous. Under the protection of the energy shield, there are greening projects on both sides of the road, with osmanthus trees and cherry trees planted, and even several large parks with an area comparable to that of urban squares, for little Lolita and Brie to walk and relax. If you don't look up and see the dark and vast space, it's hard to imagine that this place is built on the sun.
At the anchorage not far away, you can also see the Brie fleet shuttling back and forth. They mine resources from other planets in the solar system and transport them to the star base to support the development of various construction projects.
When talking about living security, someone introduced: "In terms of food, there is hydroponic agriculture here, most vegetables and fruits can be self-sufficient. Universal Angels do not need to eat, so the demand is not large. As for the accommodation environment... As long as Bri is here, any living environment you want is not a problem."
Lu Chen checked the residence of the ship girls by the way, and saw that there was an indoor hot spring in the main building. It was obvious that the ship girls would not suffer here. After walking around, they came to the most important building of the star base - the scientific research base.
The scale of the scientific research site here is more than ten times larger than that in the city, occupying one-third of the area of the star base. In the space environment, many scientific research projects that cannot be carried out on Earth can be carried out smoothly.
In the open space where the starship was docked, a group of scientific research lolita and Brie were conducting experiments. "The 653rd FTL engine experiment, start!" As a short-haired lolita gave the order, a small unmanned spaceship on the open space emitted a faint blue light from its tail and slowly rose into the sky. Then, the spaceship accelerated sharply and headed straight for the starry sky. Its speed was so fast that Lu Chen was dumbfounded, far exceeding the Wannian Fengxue and other ship girls.
"The current speed is 1% of the speed of light... 12% of the speed of light! Start the warp engine!" The scientific research loli gathered on the holographic screen, nervously reading various parameters. The spacecraft has entered a state close to the speed of light and is running at the speed of light!
However, "Engine overload! Space distortion! Quickly escape the speed of light!" Along with a warning, an explosion was heard from the other side of the starry sky. The lolita scratched their heads, sighed, and then took out their laptops to check a series of parameter data. "It took one-fifth of a second longer than the last experiment. It seems that something is still wrong..."
"Hurry up and get Brie to recover the spaceship. Move quickly, otherwise the wreckage may be taken away by the gravity of other planets." The ship girls looked at each other in bewilderment and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Lightspeed spaceship?!"
Richelieu, Yixian, Taiho and other shipgirls who came with him were amazed. For a spaceship that can travel at the speed of light of 30 kilometers per second, this is almost an impossible task in classical physics. Their current fastest speed can only reach % of the speed of light.
And the lolis have already begun to develop some incredible things.
"Well, we are not only developing lightspeed spacecraft, we are also trying to exceed the speed of light." Chishou Natsuyo nodded.
In the dock, many Brie were busy, holding meow hammers and holographic charts, jingling and knocking on the spaceships. Each spaceship was marked with a different number.
However, the ship girls were speechless when they saw all this, and secretly lamented that it was a waste of talent to let Bri build a house before.
Lu Chen noticed that this was the 600th experiment, but it did not seem to have achieved the expected results. If the problem with the manufacturing process was ruled out, then there might be flaws in the theoretical structural design.
He asked: "What difficulties did you encounter?"
Chishou Natsuyo lowered his head and answered awkwardly, "Indeed, there is such a problem... We still have some uncertainties in the theoretical part and the design of the drawing structure."
They have basically completed the work on the theory of light-speed spacecraft and superluminal flight, but they are still unable to obtain accurate data on some of the parameters. Since this is a brand new theory, they have no previous experience to draw on and can only move forward through continuous experimentation.
Even though Lu Chen could not understand the specific designs and formulas, he understood that Chishou Natsuyo's research team was conducting an unprecedented study - exceeding the speed of light. They drew nourishment from the knowledge of top physicists such as Newton, Einstein, Planck, and Dirac.
