You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 86
Chapter 86: Twenty Years, One Level
Congratulations, Host. You have watched an advertisement. Experience points, six levels of cultivation base, and three implementation plans for the Nantianmen Plan have been issued. Please check them.
A new quest has been issued: Reach the Solar System Frontier and explore related secrets of the Solar System 0/1.
The quest deadline is twenty years. Failure to complete the quest by the deadline will result in an unknown punishment; completion by the deadline will result in an unknown reward, including but not limited to the highest cultivation improvement.
Su Qin’an pondered the system’s message.
Previous systems, at least they would mention what rewards and punishments were.
Now, it’s all unknown, just guessing?
Unknown punishment, unknown reward…
Is the punishment the cancellation of the reward, and the reward the absence of punishment?
This is purely exploiting a bug!
What is the highest cultivation improvement?
Is it raising one’s own upper limit, or raising the upper limit of Earth’s highest cultivation?
Moreover, exploring the Solar System Frontier…
In 1977, Uncle Sam launched Voyager 1, which has been flying into the depths of the universe, supposedly to explore the universe.
Yet, until now, it still hasn’t flown out of the Solar System.
Moreover, previous mission deadlines were three months, five months, or at most, the last six months.
Twenty years, this…
For this system that pits the Host, to set a deadline of twenty years, it’s probably not an easy task.
Su Qin’an frowned and decided to first look at the three plans for the Nantianmen Plan.
After all, the Nation also proposed the Nantianmen Plan, and it is the foundation for the next phase of the mission.
…
Solar System Frontier, a huge black warship.
If Su Qin’an could see the situation here, he would be surprised to find that this warship, while not exactly the same as the one he saw in the advertisement, is at least 70-80% similar.
Even the flag carved on the warship’s wall, resembling the Black Water Dragon Flag, seems to be carved from the same mold.
There aren’t many people on the warship; to be precise, there are only about ten people.
In the middle of the warship, sitting cross-legged, looking like the owner of the warship, is not even a person.
Below his legs is something like a tray, vaguely projecting a few dim rays of light. Although his entire body looks substantial, one’s eyes can see through him to the deep darkness behind him.
This one thing that resembles a person, if placed on Earth, would probably be sliced and studied by hungry scientists along with the tray.
A figure in black light armor walked in and bowed slightly to the figure sitting on the tray: “General Meng, Su Qin’an has already watched the second image we prepared. ”
General Meng nodded: “Not bad, the progress is faster than I imagined. It seems that even after so many years, our traditions haven’t been lost! ”
“But, General…”
The person in black armor frowned and said, “Twenty years, wouldn’t that be too short? Moreover, directly sending them here, wouldn’t that be… a bit of a jump? ”
“Oh, it doesn’t matter, jumping points are fine, we can’t come up with the next phase of the mission anyway! ”
General Meng said innocently: “Moreover, twenty years, for them to build a spaceship, isn’t that short? And we also gave them the plans for the cosmic military defense line, with those, even if they come over in a warship, that counts as completing the mission! ”
“But…”
The person in black armor looked at General Meng’s figure, thought for a while, and said, “This epoch is different from ours, our experience, used here… will it work? ”
“Unclear, but His Majesty agreed, it must be fine! Besides, I’m afraid something will happen on His Majesty’s side! ”
“…Yes! ”
The person in black armor looked at General Meng’s blurry face, and couldn’t help but think back to last time, when Su Qin’an wanted to know information about the Ghost Race, and General Meng directly gave it to him.
Giving it was fine, it’s just that the information given completely obscured Su Qin’an’s vision, causing Su Qin’an, who was fighting the Ghost Race, to almost be killed by the Ghost Race.
…
Su Qin’an finished reading the implementation plans for the Nantianmen Plan given by the system, and didn’t speak for a long time.
Because the content was too advanced.
For example, the propulsion system, the system directly gave three types: Antimatter Engine, Warp Drive, and Fusion Engine.
Antimatter is composed of antiparticles that carry opposite charges to ordinary particles.
The Antimatter Engine converts the energy produced by the collision of matter and antimatter into tremendous thrust, allowing spaceships and warships to move at high speeds.
The Warp Drive alters spacetime curvature, causing space in front of the spaceship to be compressed and space behind it to expand, increasing the speed of the spaceship.
The Fusion Engine is the closest engine to Su Qin’an at present, because China has achieved controllable nuclear fusion, and the Ministry of Science and Technology has begun research on fusion engines.
The Antimatter Engine and Warp Drive are still relatively far away.
Because the Antimatter Engine requires a large amount of matter and antimatter. Matter is easy to say, but antimatter is really hard to find in nature. Moreover, after obtaining antimatter, there is an even more difficult step—storing antimatter and controlling the collision of matter and antimatter, so that their energy is converted into thrust.
These steps are directly limited by the current level of technology.
Moreover, besides aerospace and engines, antimatter can also be used in the military field. Once successfully applied, its power is no less than that of a nuclear bomb.
The Warp Drive is not easy either, because it has a difficult problem: how to change the size of space?
According to Newton’s absolute spacetime view, time and space are absolute and immutable.
But according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, under extreme conditions, time and space can also change.
But to change spacetime, very harsh conditions are needed, or… very high cultivation.
At present, humans, whether ordinary people or cultivators, are still ten thousand miles away from this.
Even Yin Wanshan and the other seven do not have the ability to freely traverse spacetime.
The Nantianmen Plan has a long way to go!
Right, and the system’s twenty-year agreement…
Earth’s current civilization level is 0. 73, and to reach the Solar System Frontier, at least a 1. 5 civilization level, or even higher, is needed.
But within twenty years, raising the civilization level by almost one level, how easy is that?
It’s better to let Su Qin’an achieve the Great Ascension Realm within twenty years!
Su Qin’an sighed and looked at the base under the night sky.
The bathroom light was still on, and there were several figures inside, presumably someone was taking a shower.
In the square, Li Weimin was jogging at night.
In the dormitory, Zhang Xian was sitting on his bed watching videos.
On the bed opposite him was Sun Ruilei, who was sleeping like a corpse, snoring so loudly that Zhang Xian wanted to slap him twice, but finally took out an earphone and put it on, continuing to watch videos.
Several others were huddled in the dormitory playing games in a group, occasionally cursing their teammates, making Su Qin’an laugh.
How good!
Su Qin’an thought for a moment and decided to give them a break first.
Even if the task is urgent, they can’t be ruthlessly exploited.
Work-rest balance, they are not livestock!
Let’s give them a three-day break first, whether to continue giving them a break later… we’ll see.
