Chapter 413 - Super Light Speed Engine (2/2)
Mu Wanqiu was also a veteran player who had been playing Galaxy Era for more than ten years. She knew the characteristics of the game, and this was her conclusion: that it was a boring strategy game that required a long feedback time. Hence, she slowly stopped playing it.
Only Li Dong remained addicted.
“After the version is updated, it will resolve the slow pace of the game.
“Although it is not explicitly mentioned in the announcement, the era of the all-out interstellar war is indeed coming.
“Interstellar warships have a maximum speed of 20 times the speed of light, multiplied by 3.3 times, which is the rate of execution. In one year, the radius of my influence can be increased to 100 light-years, and I’ll control nearly 10,000 star systems, which will represent a pretty good increase in my income.”
Mu Wanqiu drew a blank, “Twenty times the speed of light? How can there be such rapid speed? Isn’t it impossible?”
“The super light speed curvature engine. A player made a significant breakthrough in this area, which directly triggered the version update,” Li Dong said.
In truth, the overly slow pace of Galaxy Era was due to the slow speed of the interstellar warships. This, in turn, was due to the lack of progress in super light speed aviation technologies.
Over the years, a large number of players from the science and technology community had entered the field of Space Technology, hoping to find solutions to the problem and make the era of inefficient communication a thing of the past.
Hard work paid off. Countless brains and thoughts had been involved in this effort. Finally, due to a genius’s miraculous flash of inspiration, Space Technology achieved a breakthrough.
The super light speed curvature engine had the potential to become a reality.
The changes brought about by this were revolutionary.
“With the super light speed curvature engine technology, the mobility of dispatching a warship in an interstellar war will be hundreds of times faster than that for a common warship. Not only does it have an advantage in military strength, but also, if it is faced with a strong opponent, it can easily escape. This thus forms a generational difference. The big devour the small, the strong will bully the weak, and a full-scale war is about to start.”
“You talk like you have mastered this technology. If others have this technology but not you, how do you plan to conquer tens of thousands of star systems?”
Mu Wanqiu rolled her eyes at her husband. She had no idea where his self-delusional confidence came from.
“Who said that I didn’t? I have a good friend who sent me a copy of the curvature engine for free. If he was selling it to someone else, he would price it at one million, at least. But because I’ve helped him a lot, he gave it to me as a generous gift between friends.”
Li Dong looked at her and asked, “How about it? Can you give me another chance to show off my skills?”
This…
Mu Wanqiu was silent for a while. It was a long time before she nodded. “Ok, I’ll give you another year.”
She agreed to let Li Dong try.
Firstly, she was very familiar with the game, Galaxy Era. Although the game had a slow pace, the level of realism and intelligence in the game was much better than that of other virtual games on the market. The potential was still there.
Secondly, she believed Li Dong’s ability. After all, Li Dong had earned at least tens of millions through this game in the past two or three decades, allowing the family to live comfortably for a period of time.
And now, Xing Hai Technologies had thrown out such a large bait. There were only a few veteran players of Galaxy Era left; hence, the competition had diminished. If Li Dong put his all into getting the best deal, obtaining 10,000 star systems would be really easy.
Finally, she shook her head helplessly.
“It seems that my man is tied to games for life. I was also swindled by him—that’s how I got together with him. Hmmph, if I had known this, I wouldn’t have played any games.”
…
On the other side.
After deciding to turn Xing Hai Technologies’ rights to the income from its core assets into a reward in the game, Chen Jin immediately got into trouble, and developed a headache.
