Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

It's been a month since that day.

Since the end of the last mission, the crew of Deng Yuanshu and the Qin Ling have been placed on the LaGrand Daytime Space Base, and the holidays have been cancelled.

He had intended to take his family on a scenic island to the south after the mission, but now it appeared that not only had his holiday gone soup, but even his family had been protected.

And the Qin Ling, which is under global focus, was also transferred to the highest security level berth on the LaGrand Daytime Space Base, guarded by the third orbital airborne brigade, the elite of the Air and Land Forces.

As a special force of more than 50% of its members from the “Ancient Warriors” of the last century, the soldiers of the third track airborne brigade, although sometimes poorly understood, are incomparable to any army unit in the first fleet in terms of loyalty, morale and combat.

Since the end of that experiment, Deng Yuan has had the feeling of being under house arrest.

To be honest, he also understands why the organization did it.

After all, the world now wants to know exactly what the situation is with that warp speed engine on the Qin Ling and what the hyperspace channel is. In the eyes of outsiders, more than a hundred crew members on the Qin Ling were probably the closest to those who kept secrets besides Master Lu himself...

Though he felt that it would be futile if someone hit him with an idea.

After all, he was still a fog in many places for what had happened that day, except for the shock brought to him by the moment he broke into the gap of the universe, which remained clearly in his heart.

If he could, he would like someone to come and explain to him.

What exactly are those things he sees in the hyperspace channel...

“When will we be back on vacation? ”

The cafeteria of the space base.

Sitting opposite Deng Yuan's book with a plate, Liu Zhengyi, the deputy officer on the Qin Ling, couldn't help but ask him.

Hearing his men's problems, Deng Yuan stopped his chopsticks and shook his head for a moment.

“I don't know… what's your emergency? ”

“That's not true,” Liu Zheng sighed and said, “I just don't get it. If you say it's confidential research, forget it, but obviously it's not like that. I didn't hide it from anyone when I started that experiment, and now I admit it at the press conference, what's the use of leaving us here? ”

“The organization naturally has their considerations,” said Deng Yuan, looking at his old boss, soothing him. "Stay in peace. The vacation you owe is not gone. When this is over, you will naturally make up for it. Besides, I have a hunch...”

Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng, sitting opposite the dining table, immediately came to the spirit and asked hastily.

“What hunch? ”

“We're not all here to keep a secret," Deng Yuan slowly continued after a moment of reflection, "after all, I haven't received any official documents on my side so far, specifically asking us to keep what information confidential, and nobody from the staff department has come to talk to me. ”

Liu Zhengyi: “You mean…”

“There should be something new to do," put the chopsticks on the finished plate, Deng Yuan continued, “Perhaps that's the real reason we're standing by at this space base. ”

After lunch.

Deng Yuan was going to sit in his office for a while, and by the way, he was almost done with the report. Yet he just got back to the office, fart. While the Unit was still in the chair, staff of the First Fleet Staff found him and sent him to the visitors' reception centre in the Central District.

In a confused mood, Deng Yuanshu briefly explained the rest of the work to his secretary, then changed into formal clothes and came to the central area of the space base as instructed.

When he came to the visitors' centre, at the reception of the staff, he went to a small conference room, and saw the person sitting in the conference room with a surprised look on his face.

“Master Lu? ”

“Long time no see,” put down the bottled coffee in his hand, the ark looked up at him and said with a smile and a greeting, "Sit down... how was the rest of the time? ”

“… OK,” he said, "Why are you here after a moment of hesitation when he pulled out the chair at the table and sat down and looked at the ark opposite him, with some incredible expression on Deng Yuan's face? ”

“I arrived about half an hour ago," the ark glanced at the time on the watch and said with amusement, "Speaking of which, watching from the outside as a space fortress was quite shocking. ”

Though it was said in a funny tone, it was also filled with emotion in his heart when he said it.

Remember when the Elder asked him about the next space strategy after Guangdong City, when he proposed two strategic directions: the construction of a permanent space base at Lagrange Point and the construction of a colony on Mars.

Although it was a century ago, it is absolutely impossible to look at the seeds that I had buried and now grow into a tree that has no emotion at all in my heart.

“You came all the way here to see me… Is there something wrong? ”

“Sort of.” Looking at Captain Deng Yuan sitting across the street, the Ark laughed and said, “But before I do, I want to ask you a few questions. ”

Deng Yuan: “Excuse me! ”

“Don't be so nervous, I was just asking," Look at Captain Deng, sitting in the middle of nowhere, the ark continues with a chatty tone, "How are you feeling these days? You and your crew, how's your health? ”

“In health?” Deng Yuan stunned slightly, frowned and said, “No… Is there a problem? ”

“Nothing, just a casual question," he took a note on his notebook, and the ark continued to ask, “psychologically? Does anyone have mental illnesses like depression, claustrophobia? Or show similar symptoms? ”

“At least so far I have not heard of a crew member seeking the help of a psychologist," shrugged Deng Yuan, continuing, "but stayed on the station for so long that nothing was wrong and they were almost idle. ”

“This is really embarrassing,” Ark laughed with embarrassment, continuing, "I didn't make this clear to you, actually because I have a little experimental thing on my side, I'm afraid I have to ask you to cooperate for a while. ”

Deng Yuan: “... wasn't that experiment done already? ”

“It's just a demo version, and it's going to take some time to adjust from mature warp speed navigation technology. In addition to this, some issues related to adaptability and health require further observation. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. ”

Deng Yuan: “It's okay, I understand. ”

“Thank you for understanding! Thanks also to your cooperation, we have achieved the results we have achieved. ”

The index finger docked on his left wrist and looked at a series of holographic windows that popped up. The ark reached out and gently stroked one of the holographic screens in front of Deng Yuan's book.

“Here's the next research plan, if you're interested, you can take a quick look. ”

Received the documents transmitted by the ark, Deng Yuan stared at the line of small words in the holographic window and looked seriously.

Though he didn't really understand the complex theories, when he saw a line in it, his gaze was stuck there dead, and he could no longer move...

“1AU per second…”

With a slight tremor on his voice, he whispered those words out and then looked incredibly at the ark.

It took him half a day to squeeze a word out of his mouth.

“… is this speed really achievable? ”

The longest distance between Mars and Earth is 400 million kilometres, while the distance of an astronomical unit is about 1.49 kilometres.

What is the concept of 1AU per second?

This means that once this technology is realized, it will take less than three seconds from the Earth's moon system to Mars, even if it is at a relatively distant distance!

“Theoretically, of course, this can be done, as long as we choose the right course," he said, standing up from the chair, his tone said easily, "Well, I'm sure you know what you need to know. Follow me when you're ready. ”

“… where are we going? ”

“Of course it's the Qin Ling! Speaking of which, haven't you seen it in a while? ”

Looking at Captain Deng Yuan, who was full of surprise and stunned, the ark laughed and continued with a funny tone.

“I bet you'll be surprised when you see it again. ”
