Jump engine.

This is a concept that Li Wenyuan often heard in science fiction novels. It can be subdivided into many types, but in general it is a way to enable a spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light.

While farming, through the excavations of alien experts, he successfully obtained a technological blueprint from a ruins.

That technology is the jump engine.

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

【Jump Engine】

[Technology level: 8]

[Introduction: Even if faster-than-light navigation has become an indispensable part of the interstellar space, we must find a faster navigation method. The technology of idealistic civilization has given us some inspiration. Perhaps we can directly tear up the continuity of time and space,

Reconstruct time and space at the quantum level and make it consistent with the destination 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 home planet cannot predict the theoretical technology it may produce.

Its introduction seemed a bit baffling, but after experimenting, Li Wenyuan discovered that this was an extremely powerful technology.

The so-called "tearing up the continuity of space-time and reconstructing space-time at the quantum level" changes not the position of the ship, but the position of space.

It's not that the ship reaches its destination, but that the space where the ship is located "becomes" the destination.

The actual effect it produces is "teleportation", which is true instantaneous movement.

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

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

Currently, all of his advanced technologies are basically dug up, which also gives him great expectations for other ruins on his home planet.

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

First of all, tearing the space-time continuity requires a huge amount of energy. 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.

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

But its shortcomings are nothing compared to its effectiveness.

This time, because Korribo's request for help was urgent, Li Wenyuan was not sure whether it would be too late for the fleet to use hyperspace navigation to save them, so he decided to use the jump engine to quickly reach Korribo's trading enclave.

At this time, all life in the galaxy also maintained a cautious attitude towards this mysterious fleet that suddenly appeared.

The swarm was wondering why the fleet arrived here without sending a hyperspace signal, while Corebo was unsure of what civilization this fleet came from.

As a universal enterprise, they can call most of the civilizations in the galaxy today, but they have no idea what civilization it comes from, but this black fleet is the only one they can't understand.

"...Mao Beard, you are well-informed, can you tell where this fleet comes from?"

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

"have no idea."

"...I don't know why you are pretending to be a big-tailed wolf when you stand so close to the front..."

"That's a bad thing to say. My eyesight is bad and I can't see clearly unless I stand close to the front."

"If your eyes are not good, go get another one. Don't let it take up space."

"It will cost me two years' salary to replace a prosthetic eye. You young people, you will install various prosthetic limbs on yourselves whenever you have time. Little do you know that your life-long contract will never be released..."

…

Braining did not hear the noise of the employees, but his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the possibilities of this fleet.

As a person in charge, he is truly well-informed, otherwise he would not be in this position.

"Is it the Turbulent Empire? It's unlikely. Their ships are usually blue in color... Is it the Denkamu ethnic group? No, this group of pacifists will never dispatch a fleet unless they hit their borders.

...Is it the Kuhl Federation? Forget it, it’s a good thing these criminals didn’t come to add insult to injury..."

He recalled the civilizations that he had recently interacted with companies and were nearby, but none of them met the conditions.

"Then who else could it be..."

After thinking about it, he suddenly dug out an inconspicuous field from the corner of his memory.

Ten years is enough time for someone like him who is busy with various corporate affairs every day to forget many memories.

There was only one paragraph that he never forgot.

"——Could it be...'Guardian'?"

When he was thinking, he didn't notice that he subconsciously said this sentence. When he raised his head again, he found that his employees were 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 political integrity, and is well-informed. He is truly the backbone of our company!"

…

Even when life and death were at stake, there were still people flattering him. However, Braining did not speak, but stared at the black fleet in the distant starry sky.

This time he thought he was right.

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

Their goal is to completely destroy this trading enclave, and naturally they cannot stop their attack because of the arrival of other fleets.

What's more, the mastermind of this "swarm" doesn't feel that he is no match.

Although she felt an indescribable terrifying aura from the armor of these battleships, with the numerical advantage, she was confident that she could drive this fleet away or even destroy it.

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

This large creature can compress the acid etching fluid produced in its body and then shoot it out at an extremely high initial velocity. It is the main means of attacking ships by the "swarm".

In the interstellar era when positional shields were widely used, many shields were unable to block 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, the acid etching liquid suddenly decelerates, deceiving some shields designed to block high-speed flying objects, and then quickly corrodes the armor of the spacecraft.

The mastermind of "Swarm" is also a veteran of many battles. He knows that most civilized ships are "thin-skinned and big stuffed", with extremely strong firepower but poor protection.

Although they can destroy a large number of "swarms" in an instant, they can easily be defeated by the "swarm"'s human sea tactics of exchanging injuries for injuries.

She believed that this time the enemy would soon be defeated 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 saw clearly what happened.

This made the mastermind stunned, and then he continued to fire the acid etching liquid without belief.

The exact same scene happened again, their etching liquid disappeared the moment it hit the shield, regardless of high speed or low speed.

And the black fleet finally moved.

Their muzzles turned slowly and stopped in one direction.

The overwhelming "swarm" blocking the view had no effect. The black muzzle firmly locked the gunnoses hiding behind the countless "swarms".

The next moment, rainbow-colored light illuminated the entire galaxy.

The various colored beams from the black fleet formed a curtain of death, evaporating thousands of "swarms" blocking the road in an instant.

Even the gunnoses that tried hard to hide were not spared. The better ones only had wounds the size of footballs, which were nothing compared to their size.

Those who were less lucky were directly bathed in the beam of destruction, and were completely reduced to basic particles.

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

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

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

But she saw that on the largest battleship in the black fleet, a huge cannon larger than her body was pointed at her at some point, and a dangerous light was condensing in it.

But this time, the mastermind who always ignored everything showed a rare attitude of fear.
