Chapter 2298: Dragon Soul
"Wow, strong, old dragon!" Li Li stared wide-eyed, instantly captivated by the shape of this spaceship.
This is a black metal-feeling spaceship, its shape resembling a spaceship, slightly larger than a regular passenger plane, with smooth lines, sharp wings, and a cabin in the middle that can hold about twenty to thirty people.
Long Jianfeng chuckled: "Not bad? This is a level-6 spaceship, capable of interstellar travel and spatial resonance jumps, quite high-end. Calculated by the purchasing power of our Dragon State's currency, it would cost about 300 trillion to buy!"
"Damn, that expensive? Can Lao Xiao afford it?" Li Li exclaimed.
While speaking, he had already run over to examine the spaceship up close.
Xiao Feng smiled: "I can't afford it; I'm very poor."
This is true; although he is the strongest among the native humans of Blue Star, his strength is second only to Xuan Die, but he does not actually control the planet, instead acting as an observer, invisibly guarding his homeland.
Speaking of wealth, he probably wouldn't even make the top 500 on the world rich list.
"Dragon Soul, open the hatch."
Long Jianfeng shouted.
The black bat-like spaceship made a sizzling sound, energy transmitted, and a hatch opened at the rear of the ship.
"Come on, get on board." Chu Long called out.
Everyone hurriedly boarded the Dragon Soul.
The Dragon Soul is a "transport spaceship", designed for travel, its cabin only has seats and controls, unsuitable for long journeys.
If it were an "adventure spaceship", it would have living quarters; besides the cockpit, there would be areas for leisure, cultivation, and sleep, and its overall size would be much larger, basically over a hundred meters.
"This is the product of technological civilization"
", it's quite novel." Xue Yunlong from the cultivation world found it very interesting.
Not to mention him, even Xiao Feng and others from Blue Star's budding technological civilization found it quite novel.
"Old Zhang, have you guys seen this thing while cultivating on an extraterrestrial planet?" Xiao Feng asked.
Zhang Fan gave a wry smile: "We train with our master in the mountains every day; we haven't even seen a fishing boat on the river, let alone a spaceship."
It looks like they've been extremely diligent for over twenty years.
"Lord Wuduan is really extravagant, giving away such an expensive spaceship just like that; I thought my master giving me a Fierce Thunder Law Sword was already generous……"
Jiang Peng whispered softly.
But he dare not say that out loud, otherwise his master Fairy Maiden Yuqing would find out and probably beat him!
Xiao Feng couldn't help sighing: "As a master controller too, why am I so poor?"
"You don't bother making money, so of course you're poor. The starry sky is vast; many precious materials in the universe require strength to obtain. If master controllers work hard, they can all become rich enough to buy planets at will…… My master said that." Xu Fan chuckled lightly.
Everyone laughed; they basically knew Xiao Feng—this guy has no concept of money, just enough to spend, and never takes the initiative to earn.
"Actually, the Boundless Continent is also a place to make money; the energy crystals here are highly valuable, and if taken out they can be sold. Moreover, the Boundless Continent also produces treasures, sometimes so precious that even master controllers go mad over them." Zhang Fan said.
Before departure, each of their masters gave them plenty of information.
Xiao Feng heard it, silently noted it down, and when there was a chance to make a little money, then
taking advantage of the leave opportunity to buy a spaceship and fly back, so that as a dignified master controller he wouldn't even have a mount.
"Dragon Soul, set off." Long Jianfeng issued the flight command.
The spaceship needs no pilot; it can be fully intelligently piloted, just needing a command.
A pleasant female voice sounded in the cabin: "Please select destination and set sailing speed."
Long Jianfeng replied: "No map, 1000 kilometers to the left-front at 1 o'clock direction, set speed to lowest gear."
This isn't a game world; nobody has a map of the Boundless Continent, the Venerable Extinction Slayer didn't give one, nor did their masters, so they can only rely on themselves to explore slowly.
"Alright, let's set sail."
The spaceship's intelligent system sounded, and immediately Xiao Feng felt a slight tremor as the ship rose vertically to a height of a hundred meters.
Then with a whoosh it shot out, its speed far surpassing any aircraft or fighter jet on Blue Star, chasing missiles.
But those inside the cabin only felt a weak gravity acting on them, hardly affected.
"Is this the slowest speed? Damn, it's fast! How crazy would it be if we went full throttle?"
The spaceship's side walls opened into transparent panoramic windows; seeing the landscape fly by outside, everyone felt somewhat astonished.
Long Jianfeng explained: "The Dragon Soul is mainly used as a transport in space; in this ground environment its energy consumption speed increases manyfold. As for speed, the lowest setting is 3200 meters per second in ground environment, achievable after three seconds of acceleration. The highest setting's kinetic energy can only be exerted in space, reaching 3600 kilometers per second, enough to escape most celestial bodies' gravity, so it cannot reach this speed on the ground."
This speed.
"Damn, that fast……"
Xiao Feng calculated that at this speed, flying from Blue Star to Mars, even when the two planets are farthest apart, it would take less than twenty hours, far faster than Blue Star's current aviation technology by an unknown amount.
"If we get the chance, we should bring one back to dissect for our researchers!" he couldn't help saying.
Long Jianfeng shook his head: "Such a level-6 spaceship, Blue Star probably can't manufacture it now; even with engine blueprints, there's no suitable energy source. However, a next-level level-5 spaceship could be achieved, with a speed of 420 kilometers per second, capable of interstellar travel within the system and spatial resonance jumps."
"Level 5 and level 6 differ by almost tenfold……"
Everyone fell into a brief silence.
"How fast would a level 7 be?" Yun Yan suddenly asked.
Long Jianfeng chuckled: "I don't know either; my master didn't say, but from what he implied, the number of level-7 spaceships in the universe is extremely few, they no longer rely on speed for a living, seemingly able to perform spatial jumps directly anywhere without needing to go to a spatial resonance point."
"What exactly is spatial resonance?"
Everyone present isn't from a high-tech civilization; they're all like country bumpkins.
Long Jianfeng continued patiently explaining to everyone.
A spatial resonance point is much like a so-called wormhole; assuming space is a large rubber sheet, it can puncture the surface directly, without long voyages, crossing straight to the opposite side, just like running across a field from the middle.
Of course, the resonance point is not a wormhole; it's more complex—after entering, depending on the spatial resonance frequency, one can reach different locations.
For example, when the spaceship's spatial vibration frequency is 100, entering the resonance point leads into a same-frequency vibration channel, passing through an exotic dimension to reach point A; when the frequency is adjusted to 200, it enters another channel to reach point B.
When the vibration frequency is 100, entering the resonance point, it will enter the same-frequency vibration channel, pass through the strange dimension, and reach point A. And when the spacecraft's resonance frequency is adjusted to 200, it will enter another channel and reach point B.
The entrance is the same, but the exit differs—this is the different result caused by the spaceship and spatial resonance.
In the universe, there are many, many such resonance points; almost every star system has hundreds of them.
After countless years of exploration, people have merged these resonance points with star charts, creating a highly perfected star‑system navigation system; no matter how far you go, you can always find the quickest way home.
Of course, as explorers venture forth, even more planets and resonance points will be discovered.
Therefore, a ship's navigation system must also be constantly updated to stay at the cutting edge.
