After storing the county-sized spaceship into the space, Lan Mu returned to Earth.
If he wanted to go deep into the universe to search for foreign energy, he had to start from Earth.
Of course, he couldn't really leave from Earth because the spaceship was too big.
Lan Mu released it from the dark side of the moon. At the same time, there was another small personal spaceship.
Both spaceships had their own advantages. The small spaceship was fast, had strong attack power, and high defense power. It was only the size of a small villa and was very agile.
The large spaceship had rich functions and was equipped with a star jump system. Only a spaceship as big as this could contain enough reactors.
"I don't need the small spaceship for now …" Lan Mu stored the spaceship from the Celestial Court into the space.
"As for this Wanderer, it's so big inside. It'll be a waste not to use it."
The large spaceship was called Wanderer. Lan Mu had specially installed a void cloud for it.
During the voyage, members of the Lan Bai Society could arrive here at any time. No matter what new technology they learned, they could immediately install and practice it.
Or if they obtained some precious resources, they could send them back to Earth through the void cloud.
This thing was placed on the spaceship as an interstellar passage. No matter where Wanderer went, the entire Lan Bai Society would be behind it.
"Let's go!"
Lan Mu ordered the main brain of Wanderer. It was the intelligence core he got from the Lord God. As for the origin of the core, it had something to do with Lan Mu. Back then, he indirectly helped the Reincarnators during the World War of the Robot Rebellion.
This core was the enemy of the Reincarnators at that time, the intelligence core of Eve.
As an AI with a history of rebellion, Lan Mu didn't dislike her … mainly because she was cheap.
The melancholy woman on the screen was Eve. She controlled the operation of the entire spaceship and had the same ability to understand as a normal person. She even had some achievements in philosophy.
There was no vibration at all. Many members of the Lan Bai Society who lived on the spaceship did what they were supposed to do. It was as if they were on solid ground.
The spaceship suddenly accelerated to 100 kilometers per second and left the moon.
The light of the spaceship's thruster couldn't be seen with the naked eye from Earth. The thruster was accelerated by particle waves and the light spectrum was extremely low.
However, the high-precision telescopes could see that the spaceship was flying away at a speed faster than a meteor.
"My lord, the engineers have been arranged. Four hundred of our society's elites will be permanently stationed on the ship." Zhuo Yue walked over with her hair tied up in a ponytail.
"Is there anything else?" Lan Mu looked at the exterior scene displayed on the screen. The moon and the earth were far behind them, and the spaceship's speed had already exceeded the third cosmic speed, so it was heading straight for the sun.
"The Chinese National Space Administration observed the Wanderer and asked if it was our spaceship. I've already told them the truth. Now, they hope to share their technology in the aerospace field, "Zhuo Yue said.
Lan Mu couldn't help but laugh. This was human nature. It wasn't easy for the Hua Nation to possess long-distance navigation technology. In the end, the Lan Bai Society had silently sent a large spaceship that covered an area of nearly 100 square kilometers. Its speed was also far faster than theirs. How could they accept this?
"It's impossible to share all the technology, but we can give them the technology of the county-level spaceship. This kind of large spaceship can be the last stepping stone for humans to wander the universe. The more, the better."
"Understood."
Zhuo Yue understood tacitly and retreated.
…
Star-hopping technology, as the name suggested, was to jump from one star to another. This technology was very complicated. Simply put, it required the use of a star at a close distance.
Therefore, the Wanderer didn't fly out of the solar system. Instead, it flew toward the center.
Using the gravitational force of a star within the range of ten to fifty million kilometers.
The Wanderer gradually accelerated to one percent of the speed of light, which was three thousand kilometers per second. It would take at least nine hours to reach the sun.
"Eve, I'm going to the Sagittarius Cantilever. I'll give you the location."
Lan Mu's target was, of course, the energy coordinates provided by the main god. He only knew which star system it was in, but that was enough.
Eve immediately decided on the direction according to the star map. The star closest to the solar system in the direction of the Sagittarius Cantilever was Alpha Centauri.
The technology was too rudimentary, so the spaceship couldn't travel too far. It had to use the neighboring stars as a foothold and jump one by one.
It was like marching troops, and the first step was to go to Alpha Centauri.
Nine hours later, the spaceship began to jump. Lan Mu saw the stars outside begin to distort, including the sun that was almost within reach.
At the same time, the energy of the spaceship was being consumed rapidly. Even the three thousand reactors couldn't supply such a high energy consumption.
"The Wanderer is like a one-off item, tsk tsk."
Just as Lan Mu was thinking, the scenery outside changed. Everything changed in an instant.
A huge star appeared in front of the Wanderer. It wasn't the sun. Lan Mu could tell at a glance that it was dimmer than the sun.
"Warning! Too close to the star! Close to six million kilometers, accelerating to return to the safe space jump range. "Eve reported immediately as she maneuvered the spaceship to retreat.
This was the authority of the artificial intelligence system. Six million kilometers away from the star was indeed a dangerous area for the spaceship. Eve only needed to report clearly.
Lan Mu was a little excited. Not only that, but the other elite engineers on the spaceship were also very excited. They had become the first batch of humans to reach an extraterrestrial star system.
At this moment, the Kuafu One of China was still slowly moving toward Alpha Centauri, but they had already arrived.
This was a neighboring star system 4.2 light years away from the solar system.
"Returned to the safe space jump range. Insufficient energy. Estimated to recharge for the next jump, five years."
Lan Mu smiled. He had already expected this. Of course, he wouldn't wait for five years like a fool.
He had already asked people to prepare the charging room. It was a sophisticated and sealed energy absorption device.
Just in case, the researchers used a lot of Bastet's metal in this charging room specially made for Lan Mu.
"Let's start with a gentle …"
Lan Mu walked into the charging room and suddenly transformed into Cell. He clenched his fists and bent his elbows slightly.
A huge aura rose from his body, but it was quickly swallowed by his environment. The high-energy reaction was absorbed by the nanomaterials on the charging room's walls.
The amount of energy in Cell's body was evident from his twenty-five days of transformation.
If this energy was gathered together and used in battle, it could even blow up the star in front of him.
Of course, if this star was blown up, he wouldn't be able to survive. He would have to run.
Now, under Lan Mu's scattered efforts, the energy was like a pile of loose sand and easy to absorb.
In just two hours, Lan Mu had squeezed Cell dry …
The loss of one jump was made up. Not only that, but there was also an extra half jump.
"Cell's control over his energy is good, but how can I feed the entire spaceship alone?"
"Yes, the Golden Crow has more energy and is easy to replenish. It's just hard to control. Releasing it might destroy the entire spaceship."
Lan Mu first wrapped himself in Bastet's metal and sealed himself up in a containment sphere.
But it wasn't completely sealed. He transformed into a Balrog and used flames to test … how small a pinhole should be to release energy without letting the True Sun Fire come out.
After repeated experiments and adjusting the energy vent, it was finally done with great difficulty.
Then, his Primordial Spirit flew out. The Balrog inside transformed into a Golden Crow. Instantly, terrifying heat and light emitted from the containment sphere and were absorbed as energy.
"OK! Golden Crow Charger! "
It wasn't that Lan Mu was saving energy for the sun, but for a jump, solar energy was just a drop in the bucket. Unless the technology reached a level where they could directly land on a star and extract energy from it.
Or they could make a super-large charger that could envelop the entire star and store all the energy it released.
Otherwise, the energy from the spaceship alone wouldn't be as much as the energy from the Golden Crow.
At least the Golden Crow was small and its energy could be fully utilized.
More importantly, when the Golden Crow was tired and exhausted, it could simply find a star to take a bath. It would be able to replenish itself very quickly.
This was like a supercharger, a super high-energy battery.
The Primordial Spirit wasn't locked up in the containment sphere, which meant that only the Golden Crow's body was inside. Lan Mu could still take over the body of a clone or release an avatar.
Lan Mu returned to the main control room and heard Eve's report.
"Planet discovered. Unable to maintain synchronous orbit. Calculating trajectory …"
"Large amount of calculation. Recommended to avoid it."
Lan Mu's eyes lit up as he saw a planet on the screen that was constantly approaching the spaceship.
The surface of the planet was red, not the red of Mars, but magma …
"I remember this is a three-star system, right? There are planets here. "Lan Mu smiled as he thought of an alien civilization in a certain novel.
Eve said, "Alpha Centauri can't produce planets that constantly revolve around three stars. The orbit of this planet can't be calculated, but it's currently in a constant orbit captured by Star C, but it's too close to the star. It's about six to ten million kilometers away."
Lan Mu asked Eve to show him some rough data of this planet.
Then, he couldn't help but smile. "It's too close to the star. Its orbit is only seventy-three hours long, and its surface temperature is as high as twelve hundred degrees Celsius. The rocks should have melted away.
"If we were to use a description from a certain novel, then this planet is in an era of extremely harsh conditions.
"A sun that occupies half the sky and scorches the earth. How can there be life on this planet?
"Eve, start the jump. Let's go."
…
Phew, tomorrow is the last day to take care of grandma. I should be able to update on the 26th.
