"0943 Area Engine Test..."

The ship was enormous, requiring tens of thousands of safety tests. The Taylor Group arranged for people to conduct tests intensively, and it took them six months to complete the tests.

As soon as the test ended, the person in charge opened the communication video and submitted an application to the PDC on Earth.

"With the safety testing period over, the giant ship has submitted an application to the Planetary Defense Council for operation."

Representatives from various countries at PDC had already gathered in the conference hall, knowing how extraordinary this day was for all of humanity.

The rotating chairman said, "The application has been approved, and the operation of the giant ship is permitted."

The rotating chair then added, "Let's get started as soon as possible. We can't wait. All of humanity is watching this moment."

The operation of the giant ship will be broadcast live to all of humanity, whether people on Earth or in space, they will all witness this historic moment.

The moment when humanity chisels a hole in the giant scientific wall set up by the Trisolarans!

The person in charge nodded solemnly and saluted the rotating chairperson and representatives from various countries.

"Understood. Now we will conduct the final system checks. In two hours, we will begin operating the giant ship."

The giant ship then began to move, with its thrusters, distributed throughout, uniformly ejecting streams of particles in a diagonal direction to one side, causing the enormous man-made object to rotate slowly.

Due to the mass of the giant ship itself, the acceleration is not great. Fortunately, this is in space, where the speed can be increased by superposition. If it were on Earth, the giant ship probably wouldn't be able to turn at all.

After more than a month of acceleration, the giant ship finally reached the second cosmic velocity, which is the minimum speed required to completely escape Earth's gravity and move between the planets in the solar system.

11.2km/s.

From a distance, the outer edge of the giant ship appears to have an additional halo. This is an illusion caused by the ship's rapid rotation; in reality, the exhaust flames of these propellers are not connected to form a ring.

The enormous mass generates a very large centrifugal force when in motion. However, in the structure of the giant ship, the centrifugal force is canceled out by electromagnets that are coiled around the ship.

When an electric current flows through an electromagnet, it creates a strong magnetic field. The electromagnets attract each other, cleverly canceling out the centrifugal force.

Lin Feng, far away in Jupiter's orbit, was watching the giant ship in motion via live stream.

Lin Feng suddenly said to the holographic projection beside him, "William, do you remember what happened in the last virtual war?"

Domon William was taken aback by Lin Feng's sudden question, and only reacted a second later before answering.

"I remember that after you requested that the Trisolaran fleet be strengthened, the human fleet finally achieved a rare victory."

Lin Feng stroked his chin, his gaze fixed on the giant ship that was continuously spinning in the live stream, and murmured to himself.

"I think... the Trisolaran fleet is not doing well. The real Trisolaran fleet must be very strong. How could it be defeated by the human fleet so easily?"

"You mean to say that the Trisolaran fleet can't properly act as the real Trisolaran fleet?" Domon William asked uncertainly.

Chapter 139 So you'll take the blame for this.

"That's roughly the idea, but I'm not talking about the manipulator. I just feel..." Lin Feng said.

"You wish to further enhance the equipment of the Trisolaran fleet?"

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Dormont William preemptively asked a question.

Lin Feng immediately laughed, "As expected, you understand me best. You guessed what I wanted to say before I even finished speaking."

"The player community in the human fleet is going to be in an uproar; they might come to harass you this time," Domon William felt it necessary to remind Lin Feng.

Even Domon William felt that Lin Feng had gone too far in the matter of virtual warfare, and even showed some signs of going astray.

Domon William did not object to the Trisolaran fleet possessing a large amount of antimatter and antimatter weapons in the virtual war. After all, based on the existing intelligence, the Trisolaran fleet did indeed possess antimatter technology, and since the Trisolaran fleet had traveled four light-years to the solar system to attack humanity, it was impossible for them to arrive without any 'ammunition'; they must have had ample ammunition.

However, Lin Feng later added gravitational wave weapons to the Trisolaran fleet, an action that puzzled Domon William. Lin Feng's answer was very casual: "That makes us more like aliens."

Especially in virtual warfare, the Trisolaran fleet used gravitational waves to create something as absurd as the event horizon to defend against stellar explosions.

Honestly, if the Trisolarans had this technology, they would have blown up one of the suns in the Trisolaran system long ago, creating an eternal era.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Domon William still felt that Lin Feng had gone a bit mad in the virtual war.

Lin Feng nodded knowingly, "I know, so you'll take the blame."

"Ah, this..."

Domon Williams' 3D projection clearly showed a look of astonishment.

Lin Feng glanced at Domon William's expression and raised an eyebrow.

"Unwilling? That won't do, it's part of the plan."

"What new technologies do you plan to incorporate into the virtual war exercise?" Domon William's eye twitched slightly.

Since Lin Feng said that this was part of the plan, he, as a member of the Taylor Group, naturally had no reason to refute it and could only look at Lin Feng with resentment.

Lin Feng ignored Domon William's resentment. After pondering for a while, he looked at the giant ship in the live broadcast and said.

“I’ve reviewed past virtual wars and found that the Trisolaran fleet’s armor is not very good; ordinary electromagnetic cannon shells can penetrate the Trisolaran warships’ defenses.”

"Therefore, I have decided to increase the armor strength of the Trisolaran fleet."

"Originally, I didn't have any good ideas, but when I saw the giant ship in motion, I suddenly had a good idea: to use neutron degenerate matter as the armor of the Trisolaran fleet."

As he spoke, Lin Feng's gaze returned to the 3D projection of Domon William.

Domon William looked on in astonishment. "You intend to use 'magic' openly? This will be unacceptable to many in the human fleet."

"If they can't accept it, then let them get lost. The human fleet doesn't need cowards, and I don't need to worry about anything, after all, it was you who 'proposed' it," Lin Feng said proudly.

"..."

Domon William opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

How come you know I'm the one taking the blame?!

Domon William rearranged his words.

"What I mean is, you should at least make 'magic' seem a little more reasonable."

Lin Feng asked with a puzzled look, "Reasonable? How is my idea unreasonable? Doesn't the giant ship contain neutron degenerate matter? It's something that actually exists."

Domon William replied with a troubled expression, “The problem is that neutron-degenerate matter cannot be sustained in a place without pressure. There is no force that binds neutrons together. In a pressureless environment, neutrons will immediately disperse, which manifests as nuclear fission. Moreover, depending on the amount of neutrons lost, the energy release efficiency will exceed that of nuclear fusion and is very close to that of antimatter.”

“If you don’t have the strength, you can find a way to generate some,” Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, adopting the demeanor of an elder.

"Many times, I feel that Knight taught you to be too straightforward. You can't even make up the most basic nonsense. Just pick one of the four fundamental forces of the universe and make it up until you believe it yourself. Then the players will naturally have no objections."

"If you think you can't do it, you can find a few physics professors to help you make up some nonsense and make the neutron degeneracy armor sound plausible."

Since it's something created by computer programming, not reality, it must follow the fundamental laws of the universe.

what?

Unscientific?

Is this magic?

It's okay, after a bunch of nonsensical explanations, the magic becomes no longer magic.

If you think the explanation is wrong, it must be because your understanding of science is not deep enough. You think it's unreasonable just because you haven't thought of how to solve these unreasonable things and make the unreasonable reasonable.

Domon William was shocked by Lin Feng's robber logic, but the point was valid. Domon William also agreed with Lin Feng's statement that the computer world could be unscientific.

"Since you put it that way, I'll give it a try."

Just as Domon William was about to disconnect, Lin Feng suddenly called him back.

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet," Lin Feng said.

"Is there anything else?" Domon William asked.

Lin Feng said, "Upgrading only the armor isn't good. Let's upgrade the weapons at the same time, upgrading both offense and defense at once, which will save a lot of trouble."

Domon William felt a sudden, dull ache in his head.

So this isn't over yet?

Is the plan to make him suffer the consequences all at once?

"What weapons do you wish to provide to the Trisolaran fleet?" Domon William asked stiffly.

"Wait a moment, let me check my notes. I've been reading some science books lately, and I've come up with a lot of great ideas."

As he spoke, Lin Feng turned around and began rummaging through the pile of odds and ends beside him.

Then, he rummaged through the pile of junk and found a small notebook, which he then said to Domon William.

"Exotic Matter Catapult launches quark matter, which is even more ground-state than atoms. Just a tiny amount can cause a star to collapse into a more ground-state stable, high-density star. And because of its extremely small mass, it can be accelerated to 99.99% of the speed of light by consuming the electricity of a few nuclear power plants."

"Well, this... strange substances are just a hypothesis, something that hasn't been proven..."

Domon William wiped the sweat from his brow, hoping Lin Feng would abandon the idea of ​​adding exotic substances to the virtual war exercise, even though he knew it was impossible.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "What does it matter? If the players are not convinced, let them prove that the strange substance does not exist. If they can't prove it, then feel free to use it."

Then, Lin Feng explained the other things in the notebook, "There's also this neutrino spear, which uses the destruction of matter neutrons as a means of killing."

"And this, this, and this..."

After listening to Lin Feng's explanations one by one, Domon William didn't know what kind of expression he should wear.

After a long while, Dormont William finally let out a soft sigh.

"The players will go crazy."

Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively, "How can the human fleet go crazy because of such a small increase? This shows that their mental fortitude is inadequate. We can't keep people like this in the space force. Either get out, or keep them with a mental ironclad imprint."

“The players are not the Space Force,” Domon William reminded them.

"That's about right. These cowardly players who complain endlessly about bosses of this level of difficulty are completely unnecessary for the Space Force. We shouldn't let these kinds of cowards participate in any virtual wars in the future," Lin Feng said confidently.

Chapter 140 We all know your new plan

The planet isn't Vladivostok, it's the solar system!

Following the human fleet's first victory, the players and the space force discovered that closing the gap with the enemy through battle lines was more effective than using resources to do so.

After some research, they concluded that this was directly related to industrial capacity.

The long battlefront allows some sections of the front to remain unaffected by the war, enabling them to actively develop their industrial capabilities and accumulate more strategic resources.
