246: Chapter 246 Zhu Rong's Escape: I Disagree

"Report, Dad, this is your genius son, Jiang Haipeng."

"Starship Zhurong has disappeared."

"I only roughly saw that before they vanished, they were sailing towards Jupiter for a short distance, and then I don't know what engine they started, but they accelerated and left."

As the three major warships near Mars gathered toward Earth, and Jiang Chen and his group planned for a week, the meeting to establish a new human order system on Starship Guanghan was about to begin. However, Starship Zhurong, which had been quiet for a long time, finally made a move.

"Ran away? This Starship Zhurong, blocked by Haipeng for a long time without moving, and the moment it moves, it runs? Are they all rabbits? They shout the loudest slogans, but when it comes to running away, they are the quickest."

Xue Yao looked confused.

Before, seeing them clamoring that they would rather break like jade, she was worried that this was a big trouble.

The result was quite something.

After the real fight started, those who clamored the loudest ran the fastest.

On the contrary, those Mars masses who didn't know the truth were still clamoring for Mars to declare war.

"Suddenly disappeared? Could it be that Starship Zhurong also has a Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine?"

Xia Zhongxun frowned.

The Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine reaches one percent of the speed of light, which is 3000 kilometers per second.

This is already a very terrifying speed.

It is over a hundred times the third cosmic velocity.

It's just that this technology, firstly, is difficult to manufacture, and secondly, the core raw material 'yin-yang material' reserves are insufficient.

Therefore, currently, only Luan Bird is equipped with this engine.

Moreover, it only activates the Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine for a few seconds under special circumstances.

Under normal circumstances, it doesn't consume yin-yang material, but uses Controlled Nuclear Fusion to continue moving forward, with a top speed not exceeding the third cosmic velocity.

Although the third cosmic velocity, which is about twenty kilometers per second, is also very fast.

But for an interstellar warship of 500,000 tons, wanting to suddenly disappear in space, the third cosmic velocity is still not enough.

After all, Jiang Haipeng's Avian Flight Formation often spreads over a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Even Jiang Haipeng felt that the opponent disappeared suddenly.

It can only be said that the opponent's speed far exceeded the third cosmic velocity.

However!

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "What they used might not be a Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine."

The Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine cannot be started without yin-yang material.

So this Starship Zhurong can only use other technologies.

"Could it be... Magnetic Field Transition Technology?"

Xia Zhongxun asked hesitatingly.

The places where Mars Base is more powerful than the Lunar Base, besides having many high-level life forms, in terms of technology, one is Magnetic Field Transition Technology, and the other is Light Sword Casting Technology.

And Magnetic Field Transition Technology is about speed.

However, the Lunar Base has been researching magnetic field things for many years, but there has been no major breakthrough.

Coupled with the fact that Mars has always been conservative and unwilling to share this technology, this technology has not been promoted.

"According to my shallow knowledge, Magnetic Field Transition Technology mainly uses the magnetic fields between planets to perform transitions, but this requires a very deep understanding of the structure of the magnetic field."

"This is like 'Cook Ding Dissecting an Ox', you need to be very clear about the structure of the ox, otherwise, one cut down, and the knife gets stuck."

"Magnetic Field Transition is the same, you need to be very clear about the magnetic field structure of Mars and Jupiter, otherwise if you transition over, you might end up skewed to another planet, which would be troublesome."

After Jiang Chen took down Starship Xinhuo, all the knowledge of these two technologies had already entered his mind.

According to the knowledge shown, this magnetic field transition has different transition speeds depending on the strength of the magnetic field.

Theoretically, the greater the mass and the stronger the magnetic field, the farther the transition distance.

The original Lighthouse, in the absence of Controlled Nuclear Fusion, still escaped the Solar System by using this Magnetic Field Transition Technology.

After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Xia Zhongxun was shocked. If one could rely on the planet's magnetic field to perform transitions, wouldn't it be possible to exceed one percent of the speed of light?

He said: "Jupiter's mass is more than three hundred times that of Earth, which means, their Starship Zhurong transitioned very quickly? Could it have reached the speed of light?"

Jiang Chen roughly calculated in his mind based on data such as the mass, position, and energy required for the transition of the eight planets in the Solar System.

He replied: "About 10% of the speed of light."

"Ten percent? That's ten times the Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine!" Xia Zhongxun and the others were shocked.

If this speed is promoted, the resources saved by humans exploring space will be at least a hundred or a thousand times more!

This Mars Base is really abominable, actually keeping this technology to themselves and not making it public.

Instead, it was used to run away at critical moments.

"This kind of magnetic field transition requires high physical fitness for the people on the warship; if they are not Level 1 Life Form or above, I am afraid they will suffer serious side effects."

Jiang Chen shook his head gently.

Such a strong magnetic field effect, acting on the warship, not only consumes huge energy but also consumes people.

Therefore, qualified Magnetic Field Transition Technology, if it is to be used on interstellar warships, must ensure that all members on the warship are Level 1 Life Form or above.

But at present, no human interstellar warship can reach such a high standard.

Like Sister Li, there are still a large number of researchers and little witches who are not Level 1 Life Form.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Xue Yao, who was on the side, listened to the various speeds discussed by Jiang Chen and Xia Zhongxun. For a moment, her brain was chaotic and she couldn't keep up. She quickly took out a pen and calculated on paper, "Earth is 600 to 900 million kilometers away from Jupiter. Calculated according to the normal third cosmic velocity, it takes about a year!"

"Calculated according to the one percent light speed of the Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine, it takes about 60 hours!"

"And the 10% light speed of the Magnetic Field Transition Technology is naturally six hours!"

"Damn! This speed is truly heaven-defying."

After Xue Yao calculated it once, she was also stunned.

She had piloted Sister Li before to go to the Asteroid Belt to perform the task of capturing asteroids. That speed, more than ten kilometers per second, was already very fast, but she flew for a month before reaching the corresponding position, which was simply like a tortoise.

Thinking about it now, it really makes my scalp tingle.

"The speed of humans in space is indeed too slow, just like ancient humans traveling from the capital to the Pearl River, taking several months."

Xia Zhongxun also laughed at himself.

On Earth, humans are proud of high-speed railways and fighter jets, but when they really reach space, they are crawling at a tortoise's pace.

Even if they generally break through to the second cosmic velocity, it is still a tortoise's pace.

They can only occasionally use the Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine to accelerate.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, in the future, Starship Guanghan, Luan Bird, Sister Li, and all human warships can be equipped with this Magnetic Field Transition Technology, so we don't have to crawl at a tortoise's pace anymore."

"So, why did this Starship Zhurong use this speed to run to Jupiter?" Xia Zhongxun returned to the topic and asked, somewhat puzzled.

There is currently no human base on Jupiter. What is his purpose in running in that direction?

"I don't know. If he wants to run, let them run. We just need to do a good job in defense. I don't believe they intend to wander the universe."

Jiang Chen didn't care.

According to the original plan, he wanted to completely subdue Starship Zhurong, but now that the other party has activated the Magnetic Field Transition Technology and ran away, he can only give up for the time being.

After all.

At 10% of the speed of light, no warship can currently reach this speed.

The small fishing boat can't do it.

Luan Bird would run out of yin-yang material and still wouldn't be able to catch up with the opponent.

"By the way, don't spread the news of Starship Zhurong's escape and Starship Xinhuo's defeat yet. Let's prepare for the new order first."

"We will announce it when we are almost ready."

"In addition! This week, I plan to write down the Magnetic Field Transition Technology and Light Sword Casting Technology, which can also win some chips for the new order."

Jiang Chen found a scientific research position on Starship Guanghan and then said to Xia Zhongxun.

"Little Jiang, thank you for your hard work. Why don't you take a break?" Xia Zhongxun said sincerely, looking at Jiang Chen.

Not long after taking down Starship Xinhuo, he started working on the new order.

Jiang Chen smiled: "I am already a Level 3 Lifeform. My sleep time is greatly reduced. Don't worry. If I am really tired, I will naturally find a planet to recharge."

"Alright then, I will have someone stand guard for you to ensure no one disturbs you."

Xia Zhongxun arranged for people to isolate this scientific research post.

Allowing Jiang Chen to write his thesis here alone with peace of mind.

"Husband~~" Xue Yao took Jiang Chen's hand and shook it back and forth.

Jiang Chen smiled, stretched out his large hand, and touched the back of her head three times.

He said: "Go and pick up Qiu Zhi and Haipeng."

"Oh!" Xue Yao walked out of Starship Guanghan somewhat reluctantly. She touched her head and blinked her eyes suddenly, "Could it be that my husband is hinting for me to go find him on the third day?"

"Yes! It must be like this."

Xue Yao immediately cheered up.

She initiated a communication to Commander Jiang Qiuzhi and Jiang Haipeng: "You two, come to Starship Guanghan quickly. You might have a younger brother or sister."

"Mom, why are you pregnant again?" Commander Jiang Qiuzhi asked in surprise, "You are almost eighty years old, a high-risk pregnancy. Will there be any danger to your life?"

Jiang Haipeng responded: "Mom, at your age, for Dad who may have a lifespan of a thousand years, you are equivalent to a little loli. Is this legal?"

"I..."

Xue Yao was so angry she almost fell off Starship Guanghan.

These two little brats actually complained about her pregnancy from two different angles.

What high-risk pregnancy, what little loli!

Is this something you should consider!

"The matter of me giving birth is my freedom, it is my decision. You two just wait for a younger brother or sister."

"You cannot interfere with the freedom of reproduction of your father and mother."

"Otherwise, I will have a few more."

Qin Xueyao said righteously.

The voice of Commander Jiang Qiuzhi came from the other side first: "Mom, you are wrong about this. As children, we still have an obligation to participate in your reproductive planning. There is a saying, give birth to fewer and better children for a happy life. I am mainly worried about your health..."

Before Xue Yao could refute that her body was in great shape.

Jiang Haipeng also followed up: "Commander Jiang Qiuzhi, I disagree with this. What do you mean by mainly worried about health issues? Do you mean if there are no health issues, it would be legal? My opinion is that this spaghetti should be mixed with number 42 concrete, because according to the Shen Teng funny effect of quantum communication, it will cause sound to be unable to be normally nuclear-polluted in space, and the final result is very terrible, so terrible that if Starship Guanghan uses the Pythagorean theorem for long-distance gene transmission, it is enough to make humans unable to even swipe Douyin..."

Thump.

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi and Jiang Haipeng both heard someone's communicator fall to the ground.

Then the sound of a mecha came: "Oh no, detected that Commander Qin has fainted..."

"It's all your fault, you Wolong, for making Mom faint from anger." Commander Jiang Qiuzhi said.

"Fengchu, I still disagree with this statement..."

"Beep beep beep!"

Commander Jiang Qiuzhi hung up directly, blocked him, and reported his avatar for explicit content—a complete set.

"Hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Jiang Haipeng wanted to dial again, but found that he had been blocked.

After a while, he also received a notification that his avatar was being reviewed.

"What kind of person is this? No matter how you refute, I still think spaghetti needs to be mixed with number 42 concrete. Mom and Dad having children again is simply illegal!"

Jiang Haipeng's eyes were firm.

...

When the Avian Flight Formation, Sister Li, and other warships were all gathering towards Starship Guanghan.

Luan Bird, far away on the side near the sun, also received news from Zhao Yinhu that Starship Xinhuo was defeated, Starship Zhurong had escaped, and Jiang Chen planned to unite all fleets on Starship Guanghan to rebuild the new human order.

However, at this time, Luan Bird was too far from Earth, a full 150 million kilometers away.

So he planned to participate in the online meeting.

"Old Wei, please inform Elder Hua, Elder Li, and Elder He."

Zhao Yinhu conveyed the message to General Wei.

As of now, Jiang Chen has basically conquered the high-level powerhouses of the Mars Base, and the two warships have also been captured or escaped.

But Zhao Yinhu was not sure about the attitude of the top three on the lifeform rankings.

On Luan Bird, when General Wei received the news that Jiang Chen had boarded Starship Xinhuo in a small fishing boat, he was completely stunned.

How was this done?

A fishing boat capturing an interstellar warship, what is the difference between this and a raft chasing an aircraft carrier?

"Commander-in-Chief, is this news true?"

The Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Fang Yu, asked with a pale face.

He was from the Xinhuo Faction. Now that the two major warships of the Xinhuo Faction had been dealt with or escaped, and another one was just tagging along, he naturally had no support.

His position as Chief of Staff on Luan Bird was naturally unstable.

"Starship Zhurong has lost its trace."

"Starship Xinhuo has also stopped sailing."

"Starship Guanghan is currently near Starship Xinhuo."

"Although we didn't detect how this small fishing boat boarded Starship Xinhuo, now, the two warships of the Lunar Base are surrounding that airspace, and no air battle has occurred, which can only mean that the battle is over."

"If Mars had won, it would have retaliated against Earth long ago."

"There is no movement now, which only means that the winning side is Jiang Chen's faction."

General Wei analyzed.

Although the situation could not be fully restored due to the long distance.

But it was enough to deduce the general outcome from the current situation.

What's more, Zhao Yinhu also sent a message. They were close and could observe more details, so the news was more accurate.

Thump.

Lieutenant General Fang Yu sat down, and the whole person fell into huge panic.

General Wei ignored him. This was a dispute between the Xinhuo Faction and Earth.

He had always been neutral.

If Jiang Chen wanted to drive him out of Luan Bird, he would have nothing to say.

However.

Currently, because of the mystery and power of the top three on the lifeform rankings, he still didn't think Jiang Chen could extend his tentacles to Luan Bird.

Thinking of this.

He dialed several top-secret codes, preparing to contact Elder Hua, Elder Li, and Elder He.

These three had always liked to walk together.

It's just that they were not on Luan Bird now.

Of course, General Wei didn't know where they were.

They only left this one secret code for General Wei.

As the secret code was transmitted via electromagnetic waves, invisible information spread to Jupiter at the speed of light.

"Little Wei, is there anything?"

An old voice returned via electromagnetic waves.
