Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 25 Jump Engine
Jump engine.

This is a concept that Li Wenyuan has often heard in science fiction novels. There are many subdivisions of it, but in general it is also a way to enable spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light.

During the farming period, through the excavation of those alien experts, he successfully obtained a technological blueprint from a ruin.

That technology is the jump engine.

And Li Wenyuan also discovered that the jump engine in this universe is slightly more effective than "a little bit".

【Jump Engine】

[Technology level: 8]

[Introduction: Even though faster-than-light travel has become an indispensable part of interstellar space, we must find a faster way to travel.The technology of spiritual civilization has given us some inspiration. Maybe we can directly tear apart the continuity of time and space, reconstruct time and space at the quantum level and make it consistent with the destination, so as to achieve the effect we need】

[Possible Technology: None]

The jump engine is a "terminal technology" in the technology tree. At this point, the database of the parent star cannot predict the theoretical technology it may produce.

And its introduction seems a bit inexplicable, but Li Wenyuan discovered after experimenting that this is an extremely powerful technology.

The so-called “shredding the space-time continuity and rebuilding the space-time at the quantum level” is not changing the position of the ship, but the position of the space.

It is not that the ship arrives at the destination, but the space where the ship is "becomes" the destination.

The actual effect it produces is "teleportation", which is real teleportation.

The spaceship that was hundreds of light years away one moment, appeared in front of the next moment.

Li Wenyuan didn't know how far the jump engine's specific range of action was, but he knew that the "teleportation" alone was worthy of its level 8 technical difficulty.

At present, all his advanced technologies are basically dug, which also makes him have great expectations for other relics on the home planet.

However, BUG technology like the jump engine naturally has some shortcomings.

First of all, it takes a huge amount of energy to tear up the continuity of time and space, and the larger the space, the greater the consumption. Therefore, the jump engine can only be used once in a short period of time, and cannot be used continuously.

The second is that the jump requires a large amount of purposeful data to build a consistent space-time, and the jump engine cannot reach places that have not been visited.

But its disadvantages are nothing compared to its utility.

This time, due to Corebo's urgent call for help, Li Wenyuan was not sure whether it would be too late to save them by allowing the fleet to sail in hyperspace, so he decided to use the jump engine to quickly rush to Corebo's trade enclave.

And all the beings in the galaxy also maintain a cautious attitude towards this mysterious fleet that suddenly appeared.

The swarm was wondering why the fleet had come here without sending out a hyperspace signal, and Cribb was not sure what civilization the fleet came from.

As a universal enterprise, they can be called most of the civilizations in the Milky Way today, but they have no idea what civilization this black fleet comes from.

"...Mao Beard, you have seen a lot, can you tell where this fleet comes from?"

A goat-shaped alien with a long beard on his chin stroked his beard, shook his head and said:

"do not know."

"... I don't know if you look in front of me, what kind of wolf with a big tail are you pretending to be..."

"That's wrong. I have poor eyesight, and I can't see clearly unless I look in front of me."

"If your eyes are not good, you can change them. Don't let them take up space."

"It will cost me two years' salary to change the prosthetic eye. You young people, you put all kinds of prosthetics on yourself whenever you have time, but you don't know that your lifetime contract will never be released..."

……

Brenning didn't hear the noise of the employees, but his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about the possibility of this fleet.

As the person in charge, he is truly well-informed, otherwise it would be impossible to sit in this position.

"Is it the Turbulent Empire? It's unlikely. Their ships are usually in blue...the Dancam tribe? No, these pacifists will never dispatch their fleet unless they hit their borders." ...Is it the Kool Federation? Forget it, it's good that these criminals didn't come to make trouble..."

He recalled the civilizations that had been in contact with the company recently and were nearby, but none of them met the conditions.

"Then who could it be..."

Thinking about it, he suddenly found an inconspicuous field from the corner of his memory.

For a person like him who is busy with various corporate affairs every day, ten years is enough to forget many memories.

There was only one passage that he never forgot.

"—Could it be...'Guardian'?"

While thinking, he didn't notice that he subconsciously said this sentence.When he looked up again, he found that his employees were all looking at him.

"Manager, do you know the origin of this fleet? Is 'Guardian' their name?"

"Manager, are we saved?"

"The manager has both ability and integrity, and is well-informed. He is really the pillar of our team!"

……

Even when life and death were at stake, there were still people who flattered him.But Brianin didn't speak, but stared at the black fleet in the distant starry sky.

This time he thought he guessed right.

The "swarm" began to launch a tentative attack on this mysterious fleet that suddenly appeared.

Their goal is to completely destroy this trade enclave, and naturally it is impossible to stop attacking due to the arrival of other fleets.

What's more, the mastermind of this "swarm" doesn't feel that he is not an opponent.

Although she felt an indescribably terrifying aura from the armor of these warships, she was confident in driving away or even annihilating this fleet under the advantage of numbers.

A group of "gun-nosed bugs" aimed their long, hard nasal cavity at the black fleet.

This large creature can compress the acid etching liquid produced in the body, and then shoot it out at a very high initial velocity, which is the main means of attacking ships for the "swarm".

In the interstellar era when stand shields were widely used, many shields were unable to stop this acid etching liquid.

Because there is also a parasite living in a strong acid environment in this liquid, they can change the flight speed of the acid etching liquid midway.

For example, let the acid etchant slow down suddenly, fool some shields specially designed to block high-speed flying objects, and then quickly corrode the armor of the spaceship.

The mastermind of the "Bee Swarm" is also a seasoned fighter. He knows that most civilized ships are "thin-skinned and stuffed", with extremely strong firepower, but poor protection.

Although they can wipe out a large number of "swarms" in an instant, they are easily defeated under the crowd tactics of "swarms" trading injuries for injuries.

She believed that this time the enemy would soon retreat with huge losses, but this time she miscalculated.

The acid etching liquid disappeared the moment it approached those battleships, and the blue halo representing the shield flashed past, but no one could clearly see what happened.

This made the main brain stunned, and then continued to fire the acid etching liquid in disbelief.

The exact same scene happened again, and their acid liquid disappeared the moment it hit the shield, no matter at high speed or low speed.

And the black fleet finally moved.

Their muzzles turned slowly and stopped in one direction.

The overwhelming "swarms of bees" that blocked the field of vision did not play any role, and the muzzle of the black hole firmly locked the gun-nosed worms hiding behind countless "swarms of bees".

The next moment, iridescent light illuminated the entire galaxy.

The beams of various colors from the black fleet formed a curtain of death, instantly vaporizing thousands of "swarms" blocking the way.

The gun-nosed worms that tried to hide were not spared, and the better ones were only pierced with football-sized wounds, which were nothing compared to their size.

And those who were less lucky were directly bathed in the destruction beam, and were completely reduced to elementary particles.

This scene naturally shocked the Mastermind, but soon she began to plan how to fight back.

"...The loss is huge, accounting for 1% of the total number of this 'swarm', but fortunately, our number still accounts for..."

Halfway through her thinking, a beam of light barely brushed her body, causing her thoughts to be interrupted for a moment.

However, on the largest battleship in the black fleet, a giant cannon bigger than her body was aimed at her at some point, and a dangerous light was gathering in it.

But this time, the mastermind, who always ignored everything, rarely showed a gesture of fear.
