With the merging of two engineering ships, the refitting of Qinling began.

Under the eyes of a group of crew, the reactive armor and titanium alloy lining covering the outside of the Starship were removed one by one, and the missile launchers and point defense artillery suspended on the Starship were removed one after another.

If it was a lion with claws open and an invincible steel beast before Captain Deng Yuanshu, now the Qinling has become a rooster just shaved and a large cargo ship.

Apart from the heavy plasma engine and GW level controllable fusion engine comparable to the aircraft carrier, there is no bright spot.

Standing in the observation room of the synchronous orbit space port, looking at the equipment disassembly list presented in front of him, Captain Deng Yuanshu's expression of crying and no tears.

Although someone has done ideological work with him before, it's impossible to see his love boat being torn down like this without any mood fluctuation.

Just then, the alloy door opened and a man in uniform came in.

"General consultant Yang?"

Looking at Yang Wu entering the space cabin, Deng Yuanshu's face showed a surprised expression and took the initiative to go forward and say, "Why are you here?"

"The commander sent me to have a look," Yang Wu continued with a smile as he looked at captain Deng Yuanshu who came to him. "How is the situation here? Is the progress going well? "

"I'm not a physicist, I don't know," Deng Yuanshu shook his head and said with a wry smile. "Even if I was watching it, I just watched it. I couldn't understand what they were doing."

"Is it? What about the equipment? Are they all dismantled? "

Hearing this, Captain Deng's face suddenly showed a scarred expression, and his head was hurt.

"Already It's done. "

Yang Wu nodded with a smile.

"That should be fast."

Looking at the general counsel standing in front of him, Captain Deng opened his mouth again and again, and finally asked the truth.

"Does the headquarters really think it's OK to lend our most advanced missile cruiser to him for experiments? I mean, doing this kind of experiment at the expense of combat effectiveness Is it really suitable? "

Hearing Deng Yuanshu's inquiry, Yang Wu didn't feel any accident.

Even before here, he had expected the captain to ask.

With a faint smile, standing at the porthole, he turned his eyes to the Qinling, which was being refitted not far away, and continued.

"Do you think there is any other air force in the world that deserves to be our opponent?"

Hearing this, Captain Deng Yuanshu raised his head proudly.

"I'm sure, at least in this solar system, no one is our opponent!"

Yang Wu nodded with a smile and said softly.

"Yes, since no one is our opponent, why, even though we have been in peace for so long, we have been developing armaments, expanding the scale of the first fleet and enhancing our own combat effectiveness over the years?"

Isn't that a matter of course?

Hearing this strange question, Deng Yuanshu didn't think of how to answer it for a while.

As if to see the idea in his heart, Yang Wujiang put his hands behind him, walked to the porthole and continued in a peaceful tone.

“…… Since half a century ago, or even a century ago, the air and space forces, we have been building this army with the invasion force of extraterrestrial civilization as the imaginary enemy, and our goal from the very beginning is the wider world outside the solar system. "

"On the scale of the universe, all the people living on this planet are bound together by fate."

"So why do we do this experiment in geosynchronous orbit, instead of taking the Starship to a space base at Lagrange point, or to an asteroid belt farther from Mars?"

"It's no exaggeration to say that this technology will completely change the world we are familiar with and expand our scope of life to areas we have never imagined before."

"If he succeeds, he really finds a way to exceed the speed of light. I can tell you for sure that even all the star ships of the first Pan Asian fleet add up, nothing that he did today is important. "

"At that time, our flag will be planted all over the earth like stars around the solar system, our footprints will be spread all over the universe, and there will be nothing to restrain us."

Looking at the silent captain Deng Yuanshu, Yang Wu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said.

"If you're confused about the present, think about the future."

"After the experiment, if he succeeds I'm sure you can understand what I said! "

……

The refitting work was soon over.The volume of the Z particle concussion device itself is not large, and its weight is also very light.

It's different from the demo version of DIY that Lu Zhou had at home.

This official z-particle concussion device, which was completed by East Asia heavy industry, adopts the latest magnetic generation device and lighter titanium alloy bracket. It is considered that some specialized improvements have been made in the original design version proposed by the land boat.

At the same time, in terms of the scale of space-time curvature disturbance, it also far exceeds the experimental version

Qinling's bridge.

Looking at the time indicator on the holographic screen, Captain Deng Yuanshu, who had been extremely silent since boarding, suddenly said.

"What does it look like to go through hyperspace channels?"

The boat standing by thought for a while and answered.

"I don't know. So far, no one has been in."

The Deputy Liu standing next to captain Deng couldn't help but ask.

"If you go in What if it doesn't work out? "

Lu Zhou: "this kind of probability is very small. Once the hyperspace channel is opened, it will inevitably produce two endpoints in space. And if that happens, you can't get in and out... "

Liu Zhengyi examined his saliva and asked nervously.

“…… What will happen? "

"No," Lu said, shaking his head. "Maybe you will reach a parallel world? Or into the void beyond time? In a word, it should not be in the normal universe. "

Up to now, whether the parallel universe exists is still a conjecture that can not be proved or falsified. The only conclusion that can be drawn from the calculation method in the field of theoretical physics nowadays is that the universe is a folded n-dimensional surface, just like a piece of rough paper.

As for whether there is a paper mass similar to it in N + 1 dimensional space, filling in those empty and redundant areas is an unknown question.

Strictly speaking, the hyperspace channel is to drill a hole in the space of N + 1 dimension, and directly span from one point in the curved universe to another.

If the parallel universe really exists, when crossing the hyperspace channel, they may actually leap over that thing.

Looking at the strange officers on their faces, Lu Zhou smiled and said in a soothing tone.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll stand with you until the end of the experiment."

From the perspective of land boat, this sentence is quite comforting.

What he didn't expect, however, was that he had just uttered this sentence, which was strongly opposed by Captain Deng.

"No way," Deng Yuanshu said gravely, staring at the landing boat. "You are the chief designer of the space elevator project! If something goes wrong with us, it's OK. If something goes wrong with you, it will affect you -- "

" I've said it countless times, and it's the general consultant, "Lu Zhou sighed, and continued," and don't say it's ok if something goes wrong with you. Everyone's life is precious. I never think my life is more noble than yours. If I don't have enough assurance, this experiment will not start at all. "

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't listen to advice at all, Deng Yuanshu wanted to say something else. But just then, a staff member came in from outside the bridge, stood in front of Deng and made a clean salute.

"Report! The reactor has been ignited successfully and is operating at 10% efficiency. All preparations for the lock are ready and the device can be started at any time! "

"Very well."

He nodded his head toward the staff member. Deng Yuanshu then looked at the boat. After a moment of silence, he said seriously.

"The preparations for the experiment have been completed Are you sure you want to stand with us? "

Of course, he nodded his head. Lu Zhou smiled easily and said.

"It's a time to witness history. As the finisher of this project, wouldn't it be a pity not to see the end?"

Deng Yuanshu: " If you can sit in the rear and watch us bring home the Jiebao from the front, our psychological pressure will be reduced by at least half. "

Lu Zhou gave him a look of encouragement and continued, "don't be so nervous, I'll bet it's a blink of an eye, we can see the red planet."

"I hope so."

Silently sighed in his heart, Captain Deng saw how he could not persuade the big man, so he finally gave up persuasion and looked at the command interface spreading out in front of him.

He changed his serious expression between his eyebrows, as if he was facing a battle. He gave the order of battle in the tone of command.

"Pay attention to all units on the ship, enter the combat position!"

"Target preset heading --"

"forward!"
