Three days later.

The Shenzhou returned to Earth's spaceport in a dilapidated manner, as if he had just returned from the battlefield of death. The hull was so shattered that it seemed like another shell would disintegrate.

The Shenzhou was anchored in the spaceport, and the personnel on the warships disembarked one after another.

"How did it happen like this?" The logistics maintenance team couldn't help but ask such questions when they saw the Shenzhou look.

Niu Dazhi, the first to walk off the Shenzhou, said with a messy hair, with a look of sluggish expression: "God knows what we have experienced. Fang Yuan, a psychopath, said that he can't be faster, he can't be faster, he still needs to speed up..."

10% speed of light is the final result of Shenzhou testing the curvature engine.

For ordinary people, just looking at numbers, they feel that they have not even reached the speed of light and cannot feel the meaning of it at all.

However, this data is simply a thunder in the mind for scientists.

Only those who truly understand physics understand what an exaggerated speed of 10% light is.

Under the framework of relativity, matter with static mass cannot reach the speed of light, and the closer it is to the speed of light, the greater the energy required until infinity.

Curvature drive is to achieve super high speed by changing the curvature of the universe.

With the assistance of the armor curvature module, Fang Yuan can only reach 1% of the speed of light.

It is conceivable how terrifying it is to test the curvature engine of the Shenzhou test, reaching 10% of the speed of light.

...

After the curvature engine test is completed, all data is sent to the curvature drive laboratory.

Yang Yuping and his scientific research team immediately began to organize and analyze the data.

"Professor, professor..." Fang Yuan wanted to ask some questions.

"What are you doing? I'm so busy. Let's talk about what I have in a few days." Yang Yuping waved his hand, disregarding Fang Yuan, and stumbled into the data model.

"The Shenzhou only reached 10% of the speed of light. I feel that the curvature engine of the Palesey civilization spacecraft should not be only such a speed." Fang Yuan directly expressed his doubts.

Based on the previous scientific and technological level of the Palesey civilization.

The curvature engine of the Palesey civilization spacecraft is absolutely capable of super-light speed, and may be many times more.

However, when Shenzhou tested the Palesey curvature engine, it only reached 10% of the speed of light, which is very unreasonable.

"Professor, have you not done the curvature engine properly and reduced the performance?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Impossible. It is still a bit difficult for us to build a curvature engine now. Can't we transform a curvature engine? The reason why we failed to exceed the speed of light is because there are three curvature engines on the Purifier spacecraft, and only one Shenzhou tested." Yang Yuping casually answered one reason.

Fang Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility: "Is there a way to repair the complete Cleaner spacecraft?"

"This... can be repaired to a certain extent, but it will take some time to repair it to its original integrity." Yang Yuping did not analyze this question carefully, so the answer given was not very certain.

"It only takes the power engine to basically reach the original level. If it can fly at a speed of light, then the plan to destroy the Pegasus star gate can be implemented, which will give humans a long buffer time." Fang Yuan expressed his thoughts.

Yang Yuping has been engaged in scientific research all his life and has not thought so deeply. When he heard Fang Yuan say this, he also felt it makes sense:

"This idea is good. If the star gate of the Palse civilization is destroyed, it will be difficult for the Palse civilization to send a fleet to the solar system in a short period of time. It is necessary to put the work center on the Repair and Purifier spacecraft."

After determining the target.

Super Technology Laboratory officially launched a project to fully repair the Cleaner spacecraft.

With the help of Eve's mechanical bug-level capabilities, the repair work is very fast.

Coupled with the mature technology of strong nuclear power materials, it was also very smooth when repairing the outer shell of the Cleaner spacecraft.

Finally, it took only more than a month to repair the Purifier spacecraft.

"How much can it be restored?" Fang Yuan asked a key question when he saw the repaired Cleaner spacecraft.

"More than 80% of the performance will definitely be available. If you only talk about navigation speed, it can reach about 90%. " Yang Yuping answered.

The repaired Purifier spacecraft was renamed the "Strike Counter" Star Destroyer.

Subsequently, the military scientific research team boarded the counterattack star destroyer and conducted a test flight.

In the end, under the powerful curvature engine, it reached 10 times the speed of light.

This is the speed converted under curvature drive, not the real driving energy speed.

"There is still no mission to destroy the Pegasus star gate at 10 times the speed of light."

After the final curvature velocity came out, Fangyuan found that the speed was still insufficient.

Pegasus is 673 light-years away from the earth, which means it takes 673 years to walk at the speed of light.

Even if you go at 10 times the speed of light, it will take 67.3 years.

Such a long time is enough to change a lot of things.

Therefore, even if you go to Pegasus at 10 times the speed of light, it is difficult to cross such a long distance.

"It's a bit wrong. The Purifier spacecraft should be more than 10 times the speed of light." Fang Yuan still felt something was wrong.

Previously, when the Purifier spacecraft returned to the solar system, he also pointed out where he set out from. It took only more than a month to arrive in the solar system.

The diameter of the solar system is about 4 light years.

In other words, if the Purifier spacecraft flew at 10 times the speed of light, it would not be possible to fly back from outside the solar system within one month.

So, there must be some secrets that have not been discovered.

Fang Yuan saw Luohu again, but he was still in that hemispherical building.

"When will the promise of giving me more space for activities be fulfilled?" After Luohu saw Fang Yuan, he took the initiative to demand that the promise be fulfilled.

Fang Yuan had promised him before that as long as he was willing to cooperate, he would give him more space for activities, provided that his technological strength reached a reassuring height.

"Don't worry, I still have some questions to figure out. According to the calculation, it only took more than a month for the Purifier spacecraft to fly back from outside the solar system. This is not something that the curvature engine with 10 times the speed of sound can do." Fang Yuan expressed his question.

"It's useless for you to ask me. You only know the curvature engine, not the curvature generator, or in terms of easier understanding, the curvature generator is like a slingshot that can be fired by a spacecraft and reach an extremely high speed." Luohu replied.

"Curve generators, do you need time to build them?"

When Fang Yuan heard his explanation, he immediately understood what the curvature generator was. At the same time, he also discovered the loophole in Luohu's answer: "And, it is definitely not easy to build a curvature generator. It is impossible for the Cleaner spacecraft to build a curvature generator anytime and anywhere. Even if there is a curvature generator, how much can it increase the speed? Therefore, it is impossible to be a curvature generator."
