Chapter 1602: Hyperspace Experiment
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
On Space Station Venus.
As always, Field and his colleagues were following the instructions of the North American Space Agency, peeping at the Pan-Asian Cooperation construction site in geosynchronous orbit.
Technically, this was no longer peeping, they were straight-up staring.
At first, Field was still low-key. He set the astronomical observation telescope to cross paths with the Nirvana space station. Later, he felt that the engineers of East Asia Heavy Industries did not care about their movements, so he simply stopped the telescope and aimed it directly at them.
As a result, the Space Station Venus had also officially evolved from an astronomical observatory to a “spy satellite” for civilian purposes.
“Look at them… It seems that they don’t care about us spying at their technology,” Johnny said as he looked at the construction site outside the porthole. He continued, “To be honest, I’m starting to doubt if there’s a point to what we’re doing.”
To be honest, those Pan-Asian Cooperation engineers believed that even if they put the blueprint in front of them, they would not be able to recreate their designs.
In that case, what was the point of taking pictures of their entire construction process?
“The point is that, if one day in the future, after we master those key materials and engineering techniques, we won’t be left too far behind by them.” Looking out the porthole, Field’s face was full of deep sorrow. He anxiously said, “But their construction speed is really incredible… According to the current progress and construction speed, if they can maintain it, they will be able to complete the main part of the entire space station by the end of the year at the latest.”
The two fell into silence, and their gazes were coincidentally stained with envy at the same time.
It would be great if such a great scholar could be born in their hometown.
Although objectively speaking, this space elevator under construction was not one man’s miracle, everything arose because of him.
The foundation of this tall tower was able to stand on geosynchronous orbit at the beginning of the 22nd century was because of his awakening…
Just when the two of them fell into a reverie, a silver-white starship suddenly appeared in their sight.
When he first saw the starship, Field was stunned for a moment, and he did not recognize it for a while.
It was not until he quickly walked back to the observation system and focused his gaze on the holographic screen that he suddenly recognized its body.
Cruiser Qinling!
Equipped with the latest nuclear power plant and fire control system, the ship was considered to be one of the most powerful capital ships in the Pan-Asian First Fleet in the past ten years.
“Qinling… Why did they drive their cruiser to geosynchronous orbit?”
Obviously, his colleague Johnny also recognized the starship’s name. He was also astonished.
Not only that, but they were also surprised to see two heavy engineering ships leave the base of the Nirvana Space Station and lean toward the cruiser.
Realizing that the Pan-Asian Cooperation might be making a major move, Field made a decision immediately after thinking for a moment.
“Aim at the observation system!”
“But… What about the space elevator?” Johnny hesitated and continued, “The mission assigned to us by the North American Space Agency does not include observing the military movements of the Pan-Asian First Fleet.”
“The two engineering ships were separated from the construction site of the space elevator, and it is not yet certain whether this cruiser is related to the space elevator project.” Field continued, “If the higher-ups want to blame someone, I will take all responsibilities!
“Now, do as I say!”
…
“… This is definitely the strangest task I have received in the past ten years.”
Looking at the mission briefing presented in front of him, Captain Deng Yuanshu had a blank face, but his mind was full of questions.
Cooperate with Academician Lu to conduct experiments…
What kind of experiment needs the most advanced cruiser of Pan-Asian Cooperation to cooperate?
Shouldn’t they go to the ILHCRC for help?
“If I remember correctly… He is a mathematician.” The adjutant standing next to him with a clearly confused expression on his face said, “Could it be that… he has started studying weapons?”
“I don’t know, the briefing did not specify what the experiment would be.”
Deng Yuanshu’s index finger clicked in the air. He put away the mission briefing and continued, “In any case, after we meet him in person, we will know.”
As the two engineering ships docked with the Qinling, Captain Deng, who was standing inside the ship’s bridge, finally met the man who was called the greatest scholar of the 21st century.
Deng Yuanshu took the initiative to reach out his right hand as he routinely introduced himself to him.
“Hello, Academician Lu, I am the captain of Qinling, the Pan-Asian First Fleet. This is my adjutant Liu Zhengyi. According to our superior’s orders, we will assist you in completing the experiment for this operation.”
Adjutant Liu also reached out his right hand with a smile. He shook Lu Zhou’s hand after the captain.
“Hello!
“Nice to meet you!”
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded to the two of them. After a simple greeting, Lu Zhou adjusted the expression on his face. Without wasting time, he explained his intentions and the most critical information about the experiment.
After listening to the hyperspace theory described by Lu Zhou in a daze, Captain Deng finally figured out what the whole experiment was about.
Basically, in order to test the disturbance of the curvature of space by the Z particle oscillator, Lu Zhou needed a movable nuclear fusion reactor.
Among the many types of ships in the Pan-Asian First Fleet, apart from the aerospace carrier, the only one that met the minimum requirements for starting the Z particle oscillation device was their cruiser, which was equipped with a standard controllable reactor.
To be honest, although Deng Yuanshu was very interested in Lu Zhou’s hyperspace navigation, and he was also willing to obey orders and cooperate with the experiment, the only thing that made him a little hesitant was that Lu Zhou and East Asia Heavy Industries had to carry out a large scale “modification” on his ship.
He had served on this starship for many years, so it felt like home to him…
“Modify… I hope you can reconsider carefully,” Adjutant Liu said. He was standing next to the captain when he continued in a serious tone, “Dismantling the weapon system and external armor isn’t just a modification to Qinling; it’s equivalent to turning our cruiser into a large cargo ship! Even if you reinstall it after the experiment, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Do you understand what I mean?”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “I understand, but this experiment is very important. It is related to something far more important than a starship… or even the entire fleet.”
“Why do you have to dismantle the equipment?” Looking at Lu Zhou, Captain Deng asked, “Especially the outer armor, many parts of which use integral welding technology, which is not only difficult to disassemble but also difficult to reinstall. It will also cause damage to the material itself. Can’t we remove the weapon system and keep the armor?”
“Sorry, I’m afraid not.” Lu Zhou shook his head and explained, “The hyperspace channel has very strict restrictions. Unless it is equipped with a larger power system, it is difficult to transport the current weight of Qinling.”
There was something else Lu Zhou didn’t say.
There was hope of opening the hyperspace channel under ideal circumstances, but it would still have unpredictable consequences.
Since this exceeded the boundary of calculation, it was almost impossible to predict the result using mathematics.
If the situation was optimistic, it would probably be impossible to enter the channel. Or if they succeed in entering, they would have to jump out again from a random position.
And if the situation was not optimistic…
They might never exit the channel.
Captain Deng: “How confident are you of the experiment?”
“It’s meaningless to ask this question.” Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I believe in my calculations. If it is not 100% certain, I would not stand here. The question now is whether you believe in my own research results.”
Hearing these words, Captain Deng fell into silence.
About five seconds later, he raised his head and looked at Lu Zhou. As if he had made some major decision in his heart, he spoke in a serious tone.
“I often hear people say that you are the greatest scholar on this planet. I believe this great description came from not only your wisdom but also your scientific rigor.”
“Thank you for your trust.” Lu Zhou said softly, “I can assure you that I will not let you down.”
Hearing Lu Zhou’s promise, Captain Deng nodded slightly.
Turning his back to the surprised gaze of the officers beside him, he said solemnly, “In that case…
“You are in control of our Qinling ship!”
