Metropolis: Technology Maniacs

While the genuine captain of the Blazer was secretly hurting himself, Ye Su continued to direct the entire spacecraft.

I saw Ye Su put the ice drink in his hand next to the seat, and then gave orders to the surrounding crew.

"Report the current speed of the spacecraft and the current acceleration."

Ye Su now cares most about the speed of the spacecraft, and the speed determines the time to reach Neptune.

The sooner the spacecraft accelerates to its maximum speed, the earlier it will reach Neptune.

The Pioneer was not able to reach half the speed of light at the beginning. The spacecraft needs a constant acceleration process to reach the maximum speed it can withstand.

During this acceleration, the Pioneer will slowly climb from the speed of the second universe to a higher speed, and eventually reach half the speed of light.

The second cosmic speed is 11 kilometers per second, which is the necessary speed to escape the gravity of the earth.

If this speed is not reached, the aircraft cannot leave the earth's orbit.

The Blazer’s acceleration capability is still very powerful. When it first arrived in the Earth’s orbit, its speed had already accelerated to the second cosmic speed, and it slowly departed from the Earth’s orbit.

Now as the speed of the spacecraft continues to increase, it is getting farther and farther from the earth.

If you look at the earth from above the Trailblazer, you will find that the earth is getting smaller and smaller, finally becoming an inconspicuous little spot in the universe.

Because the earth is just a non-luminous planet, after a certain distance away from the earth, maybe you won't see the earth on the spacecraft.

When the Earth disappeared from the sight of the crew, it was time for the Pathfinder to officially embark on the journey to Neptune.

The Trailblazer has just left the earth, and this test voyage has just begun.

The Pioneer, which had just left Earth, had already surpassed the speed of the Second Universe, but it was still too slow for the entire journey.

Regardless of the fact that the speed of the second universe is already very fast, 11 kilometers per second is simply unimaginable, and it only takes about an hour to circle the equator of the earth.

But relative to the distance from the Earth to Neptune, this speed is simply not worth mentioning.

Take the Blazer’s maximum speed without the curvature engine, half of the speed of light is 150,000 kilometers per second.

Compared with the speed of 150,000 kilometers per second, the turtle speed of 11 kilometers per second in the second universe speed is not an order of magnitude at all.

This shows that the Blazer’s speed has to be increased countless times before it can reach its highest speed.

Fortunately, the galaxy-class engine mounted on the Pioneer is very powerful, and its acceleration capability far exceeds any engine.

The propulsion provided by the galaxy-class engines for the spacecraft allows the Blazer to accelerate to the highest speed it can reach within a short period of time.

Not long after the Blazer set off, the speed has increased many times, far surpassing the initial speed.

"According to the results of the tests on the spacecraft, the speed of the spacecraft is now 3,000 kilometers per second."

Soon the crew reported the current speed situation, and the current situation also applied for the performance of the engine.

If the engine is not powerful enough, it will not accelerate to such a terrifying speed in a short time.

What kind of speed is this three thousand kilometers per second? If you can maintain the entire speed, it will take only a few seconds to traverse the entire Xia country.

It doesn't take long to go to any place on the earth, it is like teleportation to humans.

After hearing about the current speed, Ye Su asked another question: "How long will it take to accelerate to the limit? Now this speed is still too slow."

"I don't know how long it will take the spacecraft to fly to Neptune at this speed. I don't have so much time to waste."

Regardless of the fact that the Blazer is already fast, it is almost too fast for ordinary people to imagine.

But this speed is still too slow for traveling to space.

In Ye Su's view, the speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, when placed below the cosmic scale, is about the same as the crawling speed of a tortoise.

Going to Neptune at this speed is like a turtle crawling.

That's why Ye Su cares about the time to accelerate, accelerate to the fastest and reach the destination earlier.

"Report to the captain, it will take ten more minutes of acceleration to reach the maximum speed."

The crew below were still very concerned about the question asked by the temporary captain Ye Su, and it didn't take long for someone to answer his question.

And when this crew member was reporting on work, he simply called Ye Su the captain, completely ignoring the genuine captain who was standing on the side.

This situation made the captain extremely embarrassed, but there was no way for the opponent's behavior.

Who made Ye Su do the job of the captain now, there is nothing wrong with calling him captain.

"Very well, keep the spacecraft accelerating. When the acceleration reaches its limit, remember to report to me."

Ye Su heard that he could accelerate to the limit in ten minutes, and nodded with satisfaction.

He could still wait for ten minutes. At that time, the speed of the spacecraft would satisfy him.

In a blink of an eye, ten minutes passed, and a crew member also followed Ye Su's instructions just now and ran over to report the current situation to him.

"Report to the captain, the spacecraft has reached its maximum speed now."

"The speed of the spacecraft is now 150,000 kilometers per second. It has stopped accelerating and has begun to transition to a stable flight phase."

The Blazer’s speed has now reached 150,000 kilometers per second, which is exactly half the speed of light.

If you fly to Neptune at this speed, it will take a few hours to complete the journey from Earth to Neptune.

"Ensure the current speed and the spacecraft will switch to normal cruise mode."

Ye Su gave the last order to the crew around him, and stopped making any commands.

The cruise mode means that the spacecraft has entered a stable period, there are very few things that need everyone to be busy, and there is no need for Ye Su to command anything.
