Can't start?!
What the hell?!
As soon as he heard General Reinhardt's words, Lu Zhou suddenly became anxious.
"What the hell? You guys came all the way here just to show me a pile of scrap metal?! "
As if provoked by the words' scrap metal ', the voice was immediately tainted with a trace of annoyance as it said angrily.
"Scrap metal? What do you think? Think about the 'junk' you picked up. Without those parts removed from my body, do you think you can fly here with your wooden brain?! "
Lu Zhou wanted to refute at the time. He only got the ion thruster technology and lithium battery technology from the higher-ups. He did the controllable fusion technology himself. Not to mention that the two pieces of junk couldn't be reversed at all. At most, they gave him a seemingly feasible technical route. Most of the experiments, including ion thruster and lithium battery, were designed by him.
However, just as he was about to complain, he was quickly attracted by something more noteworthy.
"What do you mean? Removed from your body? Could it be … "
"I am this spacecraft."
The voice had no intention of hiding it, and slowly revealed the truth.
However, for some reason, although he couldn't see the expression on General Reinhardt's face, the image in Lu Zhou's mind was very strong. He was even sure that when General Reinhardt said this, his face must be full of gloom.
Unable to hold it in, he almost laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, just a little sad …" After coughing twice, Lu Zhou put on a serious expression. "Can you take me to your stomach?"
"Of course, please come inside."
Lu Zhou could clearly feel that General Reinhardt was restraining his anger.
Realizing this, Lu Zhou didn't dare to provoke this guy. He went into the spacecraft through the open gangway without saying a word.
In general, the interior space of this "Reinhardt" spacecraft was very spacious. Even in Lu Zhou's opinion, it was a bit luxurious.
"The facilities here are quite new. Did someone clean them?"
"No, it's just that thanks to the fragment of the four-dimensional space, it was able to survive for billions of years."
"But why do the plasma engines and lithium-air batteries I received look like they've been weathered for years?"
"Because that thing was removed from me a long time ago." General Reinhardt, who was following Lu Zhou, continued in the communication channel, "In addition, there is the spacecraft's main engine."
Lu Zhou said, "Main engine? May I ask, is it warp speed? "
Reinhardt: "Yes."
It was actually warp speed!
Lu Zhou's heart immediately burned with passion.
"What about that thing? Where is the warp drive now? "
There was a brief silence in the communication channel.
After a long time, a sigh was heard.
"That's a long story …"
It took about five minutes for General Reinhardt to briefly tell him what had happened here. Through the story, Lu Zhou finally understood his situation and why he sighed.
About three billion years ago, the core of Mars cooled rapidly due to some man-made factors, eventually leading to the stop of Mars' crustal movement.
Volcanoes no longer erupted, and earthquakes no longer occurred. At first glance, this seemed to be a good thing.
However, as the core cooled, the geomagnetic field of Mars also disappeared!
At first, most Martians didn't feel anything wrong. It wasn't until radiation began to wreak havoc, electronic equipment began to malfunction, the cancer rate increased exponentially, and the thickness of the atmosphere decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye that the Martians finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
However, when they realized these problems, it was already too late.
Without the protection of the magnetic field, Mars was directly exposed to the solar wind. Not only was the atmosphere blown away, but the original lush ecosystem was also dying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The cities on the surface were almost extinct. They had to retreat underground, hide in shelters, and survive in an almost closed underground city.
However, everyone knew that this couldn't go on.
At this juncture of life and death, the Martian civilization made a difficult decision in order to save themselves. They hoped to reignite the cooled core by dismantling the energy core of the Reinhardt, which was the holy relic in their eyes.
That was an energy more exaggerated than fusion energy.
Although it was impossible to rely on it to replace the core, it should be theoretically feasible to "reignite" the core that had just cooled down.
After listening to Reinhardt's story, Lu Zhou fell into deep thought. He spoke after a while.
After a while, he said, "I don't quite understand."
"Don't understand what?"
"Under the protection of the four-dimensional space fragment, theoretically, those bugs shouldn't be able to get close to you, could it be …"
"No need to guess." The voice from the communication channel interrupted Lu Zhou's words. After a while, he continued, "I gave it to them."
"Why?"
"You won't understand that kind of feeling. I was sent here from the beginning of the solar system. I watched this place evolve into life, watched this place move from chaos to prosperity, watched the first little fellows pass by me, watched them learn how to make fire, hunt, make tools, and even their language was taught by me … "
When he said this, his voice was full of complicated emotions.
Although Lu Zhou did not have similar experiences, nor did he have a long life, he could roughly understand the complicated feelings in his heart.
As an elite from a higher civilization, he instinctively looked down on those low-level creatures, especially those low-level creatures that were a group of disgusting "bugs".
However, his longing for the empire made him want to find a place to live in this new universe. Even if it was just to pass on the language of the Calan Empire, if one day they could walk out of their mother planet and travel across the Milky Way, it would not be a disgrace to the language of the Calan Empire.
Even though someone told him that the final fate of these little creatures was almost doomed, and that the probability of survival was less than one in ten thousand, he still selectively ignored the warnings of those people and made some "kind" actions without authorization.
It was these kind actions that led to the rise and fall of a civilization and completely changed the fate of a planet …
"If time permits, I don't mind talking to you about the past. But now, it is better for you to find a way to solve the problem in front of you. "
"I know, in your eyes, I'm no different from a dead person …"
The engine was removed, and this spacecraft was no different from scrap metal. There was obviously no hope for him to fly the spacecraft and stage a Hollywood drama.
However, Lu Zhou did not completely give up hope.
He looked around the spacecraft and tried to keep himself calm. He continued, "So far, all you have said is some bad news. I want to know if there is any good news?"
This was beyond his expectations.
Lu Zhou originally thought that this guy would take the opportunity to make fun of him, but he didn't expect it to say something good.
"Of course there is good news."
Lu Zhou was about to ask what the good news was, but the next sentence made his mood sink.
"It's just that I'm afraid it doesn't make much sense to improve your current situation."
