A mechanical master of a certain manga

The crankshaft engine is the only super-light engine that Rorschach currently possesses that can be used for space navigation. Although we already have the technical drawings, if we want to build this kind of engine, even with the processing capabilities of the Fire Source technology, it took several months to build the first one.

In order to test the effect of this crankshaft engine as soon as possible, Rorschach directly asked Sarah to build the shell of a large spacecraft.

Yes, just the shell.

Because it would take longer to build a fully functional spacecraft than a crankshaft engine.

Therefore, Rorschach just built the most basic power system and space navigation system, put on the outer shell, and started his first space voyage in this simple spaceship that looked like an olive with a flamethrower added to it.

Since there is not even a life support system on the spacecraft, there are no functions such as oxygen pressure and gravity simulation. Therefore, Rorschach had to put on a body made of seismic gold again, otherwise he would not be able to make this voyage at all.

"Everything is ready, the crankshaft engine starts charging, coordinate calculation"

A series of system prompts sounded, and Rorschach stood steadily in the empty cabin. This spacecraft also had a secondary intelligence sequence and was completely controlled by the fire source.

"Chuhuo No. 1, let's go"

Rorschach gave an order, and the olive-shaped spaceship that was originally suspended above the base instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the sky. There was no slow acceleration process at all, it was like the entire spacecraft was directly transformed into photons, leaving traces like auroras on the sky.

Not long after, the spacecraft named Chuanhuo No. 1 by Rorschach appeared in the void of the universe.

"Coordinate calculation deviation value"

A lot of data flashed before Rorschach, a detailed record of the first crankshaft engine operation. The distance of one light year, including charging and coordinate calculation, took less than thirty seconds, and the error did not exceed one hundred kilometers. The effect made Rorschach quite satisfied.

"Adjust the deviation parameters again. This time, try to directly span a distance of ten light years." Rorschach gave the order again.

This special crankshaft engine is completely driven by Rorschach's fire source energy. The voyage just now cost him about 10,000 fire source energy. This kind of consumption can be fully recovered in ten seconds.

The crankshaft engine does not have the problem of traditional jet engines requiring cooling. This is space, so in theory, it can conduct uninterrupted space navigation.

In this way, Rorschach carried out space voyages again and again, without any definite direction. He just focused on testing the function of the crankshaft engine. By the way, I expanded the star map of space navigation and threw some mechanical beetles at every location.

Although these little guys will continue to float in the universe, even if they are too far away, Rorschach can only vaguely sense them with the fire source. However, as long as these mechanical beetles float to a fixed star, they can draw a three-dimensional star map for Rorschach, making it easier for him to confirm his coordinates during space navigation.

After all, in the void of the universe, there is no up, down, left, right, southeast, northwest. Every star, even huge stars, moves in its own orbit, and the distance between planets may change by millions of kilometers every second.

By recording the trajectories of multiple planets, it helps to locate the entire starry sky so that you can find the direction you want.

Of course, most people don't dare to wander around the universe like Rorschach. Once they lose their way, they want to find their way home.

It's almost impossible. Only Rorschach could be so unscrupulous if he had the Chaos Core Portal to teleport home at any time.

Besides, even if there is any danger, the bodies of Chuanhuo No. 1 and Liquid Zhenjin are just a pile of materials. It would be a bit heartbreaking to throw them away, but there will be no adverse consequences.

Only Rorschach on the entire earth can use this spaceship that is not even equipped with oxygen circulation to engage in space navigation.

It took Rorschach about four or five hours to fly all the way, and Chuanhuo No. 1 had arrived in the star field three hundred light years away from the original planet.

"Warning, a metal aircraft has been detected approaching at high speed"

A series of warning prompts sounded, and Rorschach immediately called up the radar screen and discovered that there was a flying object approaching his location about five thousand kilometers away.

It's just that the distance is too far. Apart from knowing that there is such a thing, I have no idea who the other party is.

"But no matter what force it is, it shouldn't be Earthlings. Activate optical invisibility and check the situation first." Rorschach ordered.

However, the spacecraft's response was: "Sorry, Commander, Chuanhuo No. 1 is not equipped with the optical stealth function."

"It's simple enough, so what can be used in battle?" Rorschach asked.

This spaceship had just been built, and he just set sail without studying it carefully. Now that he thought about it, the weapon system was probably not installed, so he was probably a complete target.

"The weapon system has not been installed. The only combat-related accessory is the vibrating gold shell, which can withstand most energy or physical attacks."

"You're not going to let me play with bumper boats. If anything goes wrong, just bump into them." Rorschach was speechless, but there was nothing he could do. After all, it was a test model. It could fly so far without any accidents. It was considered a source of fire. The technology is quite awesome.

Rorschach had no intention of actively avoiding the alien spacecraft he encountered in outer space. No matter who the other party is, if we can communicate, we can see if we can get the star map nearby.

And if the opponent is that kind of unreasonable alien race and attacks Rorschach directly, that would be even better, just grab it directly. Anyway, no matter what is on the alien spacecraft, it is a treasure for today's earth civilization.

Therefore, Rorschach didn't care so much, just let Chuanhuo No. 1 accelerate its flight and head straight towards it. I thought that with the speed of the spacecraft, we would meet each other very quickly at a distance of only a few thousand kilometers. Unexpectedly, the other party did not come for Chuanhuo No. 1. Instead, after discovering Chuanhuo No. 1, I started to actively avoid them.

"Interesting. Could it be that you think of me as a space pirate?" Rorschach said a little surprised.

I'm afraid I haven't encountered a "friendly" cosmic civilization, I'm just passing by and don't like to cause trouble.

But Rorschach would not let him go. No matter what, he had to catch up and take a look first.

"Keep accelerating and catch up."

Chuanhuo No. 1 increased its speed to the maximum and began to gradually close the distance between the two sides. Although Chuanhuo No. 1 is only a beta version, its functions are appallingly crude. But just because it is an empty shell, the flight speed can be said to be greatly enhanced, and it can actually surpass the opponent's spacecraft in speed.

When it got closer to within a thousand kilometers, Chuanhuo-1 was able to capture the other party's image.

Rorschach looked at the enlarged picture of the spaceship, touched his chin and said, "Why does this look so familiar?"
