Chapter 236 Take off!
"All functions of the Morning Star have been tested."
"Engine and propulsion system inspection completed."
In the cockpit of the Morning Star, Noah was already sitting in the captain's seat. Relying on Odyssey's memories of flying a spaceship, Noah skillfully input a series of commands on the operating screen in front of him.
The inspection was carried out by Lissandra, who was in control of the Morningstar and could freely observe all the equipment on the Morningstar. Lissandra was not sitting in the co-pilot's seat at the moment, but stood behind Noah like a secretary, informing him of the inspection results.
"Okay, everything is ready, Morning Star! Start!"
After hearing the message that Lissandra had completed the inspection, Noah opened the light screen in front of him and stared at the boundless universe in front of the porthole. A gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he put his left hand on the joystick and pushed it forward hard.
As the joystick was pushed, the Morning Star's engine system began to run. The engine did not make a low roar like a diesel engine, and even if it did, normal people could not feel it because of the many layers of thick metal walls. But Noah could hear it, he felt the surge of energy, the thrusters at the tail of the spacecraft and the two large thrusters on both sides of the bow vibrated slightly, and then the thrusters began to light up.
Sound cannot be transmitted in the universe, but shining light can be seen. All the thrusters of the spacecraft spewed out flames at the same time, pushing the huge Morning Star to move in the starry sky.
start up
The huge tail flame illuminated the dark space. In just a blink of an eye, Noah could no longer sense the location of the metal block made of the void mothership material.
Looking at the changing space in front of him, although there were no observable objects around, Noah could feel that the Morningstar was constantly moving forward. Noah glanced at the data on the panel next to him. After the thrusters were started, the initial speed of the Morningstar had reached 20km/s, and there was no resistance in space. The speed of the Morningstar on the panel was still increasing. If there was enough energy, under the acceleration of the thrusters, sooner or later, the Morningstar would be able to reach a speed close to the speed of light, but that was only possible under ideal conditions.
Noah leaned back in the captain's chair and looked at the scene ahead. Unlike small fighters, this level of spacecraft does not require manual operation and fine-tuning of the direction. Generally, it only needs to set the route in advance. The target Noah set when starting this time was a planet in this unknown galaxy, which was the closest planet to the metal block.
However, even though the Morningstar has reached an amazing speed, the distance to the planet does not seem to have changed at all. After Noah activated the Morningstar's detection function, the planet is now about hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the Morningstar, about the distance between the earth and the moon. At the current speed of the Morningstar, it will take about a day to reach the vicinity of the planet.
"In this case, we can only use this! Lissandra, is that thing usable?" Noah turned his head and looked at Lissandra beside him and asked.
Lissandra produced a light screen out of thin air and slid her slender fingers across the screen.
"Anytime." Lissandra responded with a smile, turning off the light screen.
"Okay!" Noah moved his gaze to a button on the console and pressed it directly.
"Pulse engine start!"
When Noah pressed the button, the Morning Star's engine released even more massive energy, which rushed toward the thrusters. Due to the gathering of energy, wisps of energy arcs began to dissipate next to the thrusters.
Then, the flames originally spewed out by the thrusters turned into surging energy pulses. The Morning Star rushed out like an arrow from a bow, leaving a yellow energy trail in its place.
Trail
After starting the pulse engine, the Morningstar was moving at an astonishing speed. Noah watched the space on both sides of the porthole constantly changing. Even with his eyesight, he could not clearly see the movement. However, he could see that the planet as the destination was beginning to grow larger in his sight at a speed visible to the naked eye, which proved that the Morningstar was getting closer and closer to it.
Morningstar in transition
"This technology is really great." Noah sat steadily in the driving seat. The high-speed movement of the spacecraft had no effect on him.
The pulse drive engine of the Morning Star should allow it to jump between galaxies through space jump points like the spacecraft in this universe. However, he has no plans to jump immediately, because he does not have an exact galaxy coordinate map and cannot determine which galaxy has civilization. If he enters the jump point and jumps one by one to search, it will take a long time to find it. After all, there are so many galaxies in the universe, and this behavior is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
So Noah planned to get a star map that recorded the coordinates of the galaxies before setting off. As for where to get it, Noah thought he could look for the Skrulls on Earth. These guys should have something similar.
"Lissandra, when we go back, we have to modify the Morningstar, add some weapons to it, and then build a laboratory. Oh, and we have to upgrade the energy system." Noah turned around and talked to Lissandra who was standing beside him while the Morningstar was still sailing.
Regarding the energy of the Morning Star, Noah had observed the energy system of the Morning Star before, but the energy area where the energy system was located and the storage area of the Morning Star did not store any resources for replenishing energy.
However, after several observations, Noah has determined that the Morning Star can be powered by energy from the Earth, such as electricity and fuel. However, a ship as large as the Morning Star must require a lot of electricity. Should he build a power plant next to his home? Or build a nuclear fusion reactor on the ship, so that he doesn't have to worry about energy problems.
However, even in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is currently no controlled nuclear fusion on Earth. Only Tony and his father have developed the technology of cold nuclear fusion through the Cosmic Cube, which is the Ark reactor in the chest of the Ark.
Now that the Cosmic Cube is on him, Noah feels that he can also research something similar, but it will take some time. Of course, if the Morning Star is short of energy now, Noah can even take out the Cosmic Cube to replenish its energy, but this is only a temporary solution, and the Cosmic Cube cannot be kept on the Morning Star forever.
Therefore, Noah felt that the research on new energy sources should be included in future research plans, and Noah also planned to upgrade the energy device of the Morning Star so that it could use magic as an energy source to operate.
"Okay, Noah, the project you mentioned has been formulated as a new research plan." Lissandra smiled.
Noah nodded, then remembered something.
"Oh, and one more thing, the research on new engines." Speaking of the Cosmic Cube, Noah also thought of one thing, that is the engine.
As we all know, Captain Marvel's power comes from the Cosmic Cube, but the specific reason is because of something called the lightspeed engine. Captain Marvel gained superpowers because of this thing.
