Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1269 - 483: Farewell to Resurrection, March Toward the Empire, Single-Particle Universe Hypothesis_2

On the surface, it seems that the cruising speed of the shuttle is similar to that of the Water Drop Ship, but considering the shuttle’s super long endurance and faster acceleration performance, the technical levels of the two are fundamentally not on the same level.

This shuttle can be described as the industrial design essence that combines all the wisdom of the Source Star Science Academy and the Academy of Sciences of Spaceships, like a work of art.

At the same time, the appearance of the shuttle signifies that the Source Star Fleet has completely surpassed the colonial civilization level in the design and manufacturing of spacecraft, reaching a whole new height.

The speed of this advancement is astonishingly fast.

It’s important to know that Ren Zhong became a quasi-Earl only eleven years ago, and technological unblocking happened within this duration, and the fleet is still advancing in the barren space area without sufficient external resources or the capability to construct large experimental equipment.

But even so, the speed at which the Source Star Fleet absorbs and transforms Empire technology seems completely unaffected. This fleet has become a sponge, assimilating a vast knowledge system like a whale swallowing.

This peculiar evolution speed has further alerted Nanxiang Marquis Liu An.

During these eleven years, Liu An instructed trusted subordinates to use the privilege of Nanxiang Marquis, the legal Lord of Nanxiang Star Cluster, to periodically take over the Source Star Super Network Node once a year to supervise the technical progress of the Source Star Fleet. This behavior is euphemistically called guiding work, aiming to assist the Source Star Fleet in quickly digesting the wealth in the Mother Empress Ship Giant Reproductive Cells.

Liu An also changed his resurrection routine from waking up seven days every ten years to three days every year.

Every time Liu An woke up, he was met with "surprises."

He watched in astonishment as these humble colonial-born individuals grew rapidly.

This even made him hallucinate, wondering if the Source Star Fleet was too uncanny, with too high a proportion of geniuses.

The ability to fully absorb Empire technology at such a fast speed definitely cannot be attributed to one person or a small group of people. It must be a generational outbreak, producing a large number of intelligent and self-disciplined technical talents.

"The potential of people from Source Star Colony is too terrifying. If this group of people successfully reaches South Nine Star and integrates into the Empire, I might really capsize in a ditch."

Liu An thought to himself.

...

The Time Shuttle quietly detached from the Tracker Spaceship, with an initial speed of 0.1 times light speed, after a short day of acceleration, it reached 0.2 times light speed, maintaining an acceleration of 35.43g.

With the help of the new deep-sea liquid buffer layer, Ren Zhong, who was reclining, did not feel any discomfort.

"Uncle, why are you going out alone? Although there’s no danger ahead, you should honestly stay in the Tracker Spaceship," Sun Ai finally couldn’t help but ask.

Ren Zhong smiled and said, "Did we not judge previously that the speed of information transmission would change? We are about to leave Source Sun by two light years, so we have to go and check it out."

Sun Ai asked, confused, "That should be someone else’s job. How can you personally attend to such trivial matters? You’re an Earl now."

Ren Zhong just smiled and shook his head, without answering.

He had an intuition. This intuition told him he needed to experience it himself.

Six days passed, and the Time Shuttle slowly decreased its speed.

According to the Star Map, Ren Zhong was about to reach the boundary line.

Within the two-light-year distance scale, the positioning technology accuracy provided to the Viscount by the Royal Academy of Sciences is an error of no more than 1 million kilometers.

The Time Shuttle had already entered the positive and negative 1 million kilometer zone, meaning he could detect changes at any moment.

Now the Time Shuttle’s flight speed was 100 kilometers per second, able to stop at any time.

Ren Zhong maintained a high level of mental tension.

He fancied himself perceptive, believing that when the spacecraft crossed the boundary line of information transmission speed changes, he would definitely detect something.

An hour and forty-three minutes later, Sun Ai’s surprised cry suddenly echoed in the spaceship.

"The information flow transfer speed has become 1,000 light years per second!"

Ren Zhong asked in shock, "How did you measure it?"

Sun Ai replied, "I first used the shuttle’s built-in tester, but the reference distance was too short, with errors very large, only determining that the transfer speed suddenly reached over 100 light years per second. Then I tried point-to-point communication with the rear fleet to correct the error, and the measured value was infinitely close to 1,000 light years per second."

Ren Zhong was stunned.

There was no feeling at all!

"Turn around and return, check the change."

In the next six hours, Sun Ai maintained real-time communication with Source Mercury which was located in the center of the fleet, while Ren Zhong continuously monitored the simulative calculation of information transfer speed.
