Chapter 688: Chapter 682: Receiving Up
“The surveillance equipment inside wasn’t switched on, but I have a vague idea of what it might be.” Luna Starfield started speaking with a smile, “If I am not mistaken, there is an 80% chance that it’s a spaceship, a personal small-scale spaceship.”
“Oh, let’s go check it out.” Finn Lewis immediately expressed his curiosity. He was rather intrigued by this, although he didn’t exactly know what this small spaceship was.
Under Luna Starfield’s guidance, Finn got to Hangar 1 quickly. When he arrived at the entrance of Hangar 1, the hangar’s doors began to open under Luna’s controls. As the doors opened and the lights inside turned on, a dark warship came into Finn’s line of sight.
The warship wasn’t particularly large but slightly bigger than planes on Earth. However, its wings weren’t like those on Earth’s aircraft; they were significantly broader. On each side of the wings, there were six gun ports, shimmering with a dark cyan glow.
“Luna, can you give me an overview of its data?” Even though the warship Finn saw wasn’t that big and compact, for some reason, the metal on the exterior gave him a strange feeling.
“Its length is 325 meters, wing width is 138 meters, and its height is 42 meters. If my database isn’t wrong, it’s made out of a special crystal mineral compound, which is naturally occurring. After a certain degree of manufacturing, this mineral has an extremely strong characteristic. That is, during a jump, it has a very low gravitational propagational coefficient with space. In other words, for the same jump of 1000 light-years, a spaceship constructed out of this mineral would only need less than a third of the energy of a regular spaceship.”
“Your Highness, you can see its surface is nearly a single mold. This is one of the characteristics of this type of crystal mineral. It also carries thirty-six engines. Although the warship is small, according to the data I’ve scanned, its performance is likely no less than a combat-class warship. Most importantly, it’s more flexible and harder to detect. It’s highly unlikely that anyone could track your location in the universe.”
In the grand scheme of interstellar travel, ten days was a very short period. Although it was not calm for Finn, he did not waste any time but entered Starfield Network using the equipment on the spaceship. In strict terms, this was the real Starfield Network.
It resembled the holographic network that existed on Earth. Using virtual helmets and holographic simulation cabins, he logged into Starfield Network. Here, it seemed like a real second world, according to Luna Starfield. They adapted spirit simulation technology to deliver signals directly into people’s brains.
It was very similar to The Matrix that was shown on Earth. After entering Starfield Network, it felt like living in the matrix of The Matrix. Everything was directly simulated into people’s brain signals. You could shop here with no difference from reality.
Plus, you could choose any planet in the Federation. This was the true Starfield Network and not what Finn understood, which was logging in through the smart computer on his wrist, that’s only a basic feature of Starfield Network. Most people used similar methods to log in.
Of course, logging in with personal brain computers was for controlling externals. Finn experienced what real holographic games were inside this place. The legendary holographic games.
A completely real experience. It was no different here from reality, except for the slight discrepancy in pain sensation. The only reason that pain sensation was turned off was to prevent physical harm due to brain stimulation in response to death inside here. Otherwise, if your brain transmitted a wrong signal of “You’re dead”, you would actually die in reality.
However, the total system simulation cabin could easily solve this issue. Even if the pain here was identical to reality, your death here wouldn’t cause brain or physical death in reality. However, it might cause other mental disorders.
During those ten days, Finn spent his time experiencing those games. After returning to the Solar System, for the first time, Finn realized how the outside of the Solar System looked. Outside the Solar System, also known as the Kepler Star Belt, or the area beyond Pluto, the sunlight had hit its limit. So this place was invisible to the naked eye. However, it was filled with an abundance of meteorites, small asteroids, and some relatively larger planets.
