Chapter 283 Space Jump Engine!
Looking at the blueprints in Commander Liu Chengzhi's hands, Su Chen was astonished.
He took a casual glance and immediately confirmed that what Commander Liu Chengzhi was holding were the blueprints he needed!
Commander Liu Chengzhi nodded. Noticing Su Chen's excitement and fearing his expectations might be too high, he quickly added, "Don't get too excited yet. The origin of these blueprints is a bit unusual, and they might not be useful."
Su Chen couldn't care less about that; he hurriedly took the blueprints and began flipping through them impatiently.
But after just a few glances, he paused, thinking to himself, "Unusual origin? What could be so unusual about it?"
He continued flipping through the blueprints while pondering.
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind:
"Detected that the host has identified a certain technological concept blueprint!"
"Starting decompilation..."
"Warning! Decompilation failed!"
"System is beginning to access technology within the system library for autonomous compilation..."
"Compilation progress: 1%, 2%, 3%..."
"Compilation progress: 100%! Compilation successful!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Space Warp Engine design blueprints!"
The Space Warp Engine can form a "warp bubble" around the spacecraft. By distorting space, it allows the ship to travel through the universe within this bubble at speeds exceeding the speed of light (speed is classified by warp factor; the higher the warp factor, the faster the speed), thereby enabling rapid travel between various star systems. It has many functions, including enabling interstellar exploration, diplomacy, and combat.
Another important function of the Space Warp Engine is that by folding space, it allows the spacecraft to move almost instantaneously from one point in space to another distant point, greatly shortening the time required for interstellar travel and making it easier for the operator to execute various missions.
As the system's voice faded, a vast amount of theoretical and technical knowledge related to the Space Warp Engine flooded into Su Chen's mind.
About half a minute later, once Su Chen had digested this knowledge, he finally came back to his senses!
He was filled with astonishment and couldn't help but mutter, "It's actually a Space Warp Engine???"
Through the detailed introduction provided by the system, he gained a profound understanding of the engine's functions.
Besides enabling the spacecraft to fly at light speed, another magical aspect of this engine is its ability to instantly move the spacecraft from one point in space to another!
This is an incredibly heaven-defying function!
If this engine could be equipped on the Aerospace Carrier, that would be incredible!
It would mean the Aerospace Carrier could reach anywhere on Blue Star in an instant!
Its maneuverability would be maxed out!
Just imagining that scene, like something out of a sci-fi movie, was truly breathtaking.
Su Chen immediately decided to put his interstellar farming plan on hold. After all, the appeal of the Space Warp Engine was simply too great. Furthermore, once manufactured and applied to the Aerospace Carrier, it would make the Aerospace Carrier even more powerful, undoubtedly representing a qualitative leap for the military power of the Dragon Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Memories of Eagle Sauce's past actions targeting the Dragon Kingdom surfaced in his mind, and he thought, "Eagle Sauce had better not cause trouble in the future, otherwise, an Aerospace Carrier battle group will appear right above your heads in an instant!"
"Hahaha, when that time really comes, I wonder if they'll be able to handle it!"
With such powerful equipment, the Dragon Kingdom would have more confidence when facing Eagle Sauce.
Commander Liu Chengzhi, standing to the side, noticed the faint smile on the corner of Su Chen's mouth. Thinking that the blueprints were truly helpful for his research, he became immensely excited and asked hurriedly, "How is it, Little Chen? Are these blueprints helpful for your research?"
Su Chen finally snapped back to reality. He glanced at the blueprints in his hand and said nonchalantly, "How should I put it? The theories involved in these blueprints haven't been proven, and the research direction isn't very profound. They could serve as a novel setting in a science fiction novel, though!"
"But if you really want to conduct research based on them, it's almost impossible. They're no different from those previous concept blueprints."
Seeing Su Chen dismiss the blueprints as worthless, Commander Liu Chengzhi's excitement was instantly doused like a bucket of cold water, vanishing without a trace.
He was a bit disappointed and asked with confusion, "So, you mean we were deceived, and these blueprints actually have no value at all?"
Su Chen nodded and said seriously, "In someone else's hands, they might be completely useless."
Commander Liu Chengzhi felt even more depressed upon hearing this. Just as he was about to complain, he heard Su Chen change the subject and continue, "However, for me... they are actually quite helpful."
Commander Liu Chengzhi was confused now. He frowned and asked with a puzzled expression, "So, are these blueprints useful or not? You've got me all confused."
Su Chen paused, then teased with a smile, "Why are you so fixated on this?"
Commander Liu Chengzhi sighed helplessly and said, "Let me explain the specific situation, which is also the source of these blueprints."
"Actually, these blueprints were given to us by the Eagle Sauce CIA Director, or more accurately, the former Intelligence Director, Smith!"
"He wants to join our country, and these blueprints are the gift he brought."
"After the higher-ups learned of this, they immediately had me bring them to you to verify their authenticity. If they are real, it means Smith might genuinely have the intention to defect to us!"
"If they are fake, it's possible that Smith's defection is a complete conspiracy."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was stunned, his eyes wide with shock!
He couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap, did I hear that right? An enemy spy chief has defected???"
"This is damn hilarious!"
He never expected such a complex and dramatic story behind these blueprints!
For a moment, he found it somewhat unbelievable.
Commander Liu Chengzhi hurriedly said, "Don't laugh yet, kid. So, are these blueprints real or fake!"
"Is Smith really defecting, or is he plotting a conspiracy? What do you think?"
He felt the same way as Su Chen—that this was funny!
After all, this concerned the country's security and interests, so it had to be clarified quickly.
Su Chen pondered for a moment and understood why Commander Liu Chengzhi was so fixated on the authenticity of the blueprints!
He thought seriously and then said slowly, "These blueprints are similar to the previous mech and Electromagnetic Naval Gun—they are conceptual things, so it's not really a matter of true or false! If you insist on knowing whether they are real or fake, that's quite difficult to determine."
"Because if you say they are real, others definitely wouldn't be able to build anything based on these blueprints."
"But if you say they are fake..."
Su Chen said this, chuckled, paused, and then continued, "I can build it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Commander Liu Chengzhi shuddered violently, as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes wide open.
He was full of shock, and his voice even stammered, "Little Chen, you... what did you say?"
"You can build it???"
