Xia Chujian discovered that the two engine blades of her Ghost-class star fighter began to rotate in opposite directions.
It spun faster and faster, generating a huge inward suction force, even stirring up a vortex in the space in front of it.
And in that vortex, there seemed to be something that was being absorbed into the fighter's engine continuously.
Xia Chujian's hands and feet were cold and she was completely stunned.
What's the engine doing?
Her heart was pounding. After finally calming down, Xia Chujian quickly opened the smart bracelet and found the video file that Yang Ling had sent her about the internal structure and maintenance inspection of the Star Fighter.
When she watched the video files again, intending to apply what she had learned, the phenomenon of the engine rotating in the opposite direction had already extended from her Ghost-class star fighter to the engines of her roommate's three Thunder-class star fighters.
Each Starfighter is equipped with two engines.
At this time, whirlpools appeared in front of the six engines, but of course they were smaller than the whirlpools on Xia Chujian's side.
Then, there seemed to be something in the vortex, which was also being quickly absorbed by the engines of the three fighter jets.
By the time Xia Chujian finished watching the video content related to the engine, the engines of the four fighter jets had already started to rotate forward.
It was as if the scene of reverse rotation, stirring up a cosmic vortex, and absorbing unknown matter was just Xia Chujian's illusion.
Xia Chujian rubbed his eyes and looked at the surveillance screens again.
Yes, everything is fine.
Not only is it normal, but these four engines are now emitting energy many times greater than before!
The speed of the fighter plane increased sharply again.
Xia Chujian didn't know what he could do and could only hold the joystick tightly.
Because the speed display screen in front of her was showing the soaring speed of the four fighter jets.
Four thousand kilometers per minute.
Eight thousand kilometers per minute.
Sixteen thousand kilometers per minute.
Per minute - 30,000 kilometers!
This speed...
Xia Chujian's heart almost jumped out of his throat!
Because she knew that even if the controlled nuclear fusion engine was turned on at its highest efficiency, it would not be possible to reach this speed!
Xia Chujian recalled the video teaching material Yang Ling had given her just now, and she completely understood it.
It turns out that the engine "malfunction" she had just seen was not a malfunction at all.
Instead, the engine is absorbing new energy from the vortex, which is most likely antimatter.
When antimatter and ordinary matter meet, they will immediately annihilate each other, releasing huge amounts of energy.
This kind of energy is simply incomparable to controlled nuclear fusion.
The textbook said that if sufficient antimatter is released, in a more advanced engine environment, the speed can even reach one tenth of the speed of light!
The normal speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.
One tenth of the speed of light is 30,000 kilometers per second!
But their engines weren't the more advanced kind, so they only reached a speed of 30,000 kilometers per minute, just 1.6 thousandths of the speed of light...
However, it is incredible to be able to reach this speed.
Because the textbook video that Xia Chujian just watched said that the Empire's research on antimatter energy is still in its early stages.
The highest speed of the currently known antimatter engine is only 10,000 kilometers per minute...
Here, this controlled nuclear fusion engine that was suddenly modified for some unknown reason can reach a speed of 30,000 kilometers per minute!
Thinking of this, Xia Chujian suddenly stopped worrying and instead began to feel the urge to try it out.
Because she thought that if they continued at this speed, it would only take them twelve hours to fly across the asteroid belt - and reach the interstellar terminal on the opposite Zangge Star!
Thinking about her previously envisioned "record-breaking" goal of achieving it in five days, she was still conservative, hahahaha!
This opportunity was so precious that Xia Chujian even felt that she would never have such a good opportunity in her life...
She looked at the fighter's control panel and began to study the impact of the speed soaring to this level on the fighter's performance.
She soon discovered that due to the surge in speed, an invisible gravitational field appeared outside the four pyramid-shaped fighter planes, protecting them.
This gravitational field is extremely powerful. If she had had this gravitational field before, why would she be afraid of the ion beam cannon?
Even high-energy cosmic rays can't penetrate that solid gravitational field right now!
Of course, Xia Chujian also knew that he was just making random associations.
In fact, if she had such speed at that time, Jiang Yongbai would not be able to catch up with them even if he chased his fighter plane to the point of disintegration, let alone dare to fire the ion beam cannon. What kind of good thing was he thinking?
Xia Chujian shook his head regretfully and looked out the window.
At this moment, she felt like she had entered a time tunnel, because the scenery outside the plane window suddenly slowed down.
The feeling of flying at such high speed that it felt like riding on light disappeared in an instant.
The scenery outside the plane window is also changing.
Slowly, the universe became so dark that its edge could not be seen, and then light gradually appeared.
The light shone from an unknown place, and Xia Chujian found that they were no longer alone.
It turns out that there are more than just four fighter jets here, and there seem to be others.
She looked out the window to her left.
Outside the window, a huge asteroid slowly floated over.
When it got closer, Xia Chujian discovered that it was not an asteroid, but a ruined city!
It was as if someone had torn a planet apart and thrown the pieces far away like pebbles.
