Chapter 643

Same old place.

Outside the first satellite of the Red Ice Star.

This time, the distance was even more distant, reaching a distance of 8 billion kilometers, where even the speed of light took almost eight hours to travel.

Su Hao still floated quietly not far from the 'Origin' and signaled to Yashan, "Yashan, you can start the spaceship now."

At the next moment, the entire spaceship suddenly shook as three thick beams of light several tens of meters wide erupted from the three large nozzles and shot out into the distance instantly.

Like using a stick to pin down a mosquito.

The 'Origin' was that mosquito at the tip of the stick...

Under the tremendous and explosive force, the spaceship accelerated at an extremely fast speed, shooting out into the distance, accelerating faster and faster. In no time, it had traveled thousands of kilometers, and the speed was still increasing.

Su Hao smiled, "Seems like it's a success!"

"Just don't know what the maximum speed is. In theory, the speed that the spaceship can reach should be equal to the speed of the thruster's ejection speed! That is 100,000 meters per second. One-third the speed of light... so slow!"

And this was only the maximum speed of this spaceship. Whether it could reach that speed was uncertain!

Yashan and Feng Cheng suddenly appeared beside Su Hao.

"Bang!"

Su Hao suddenly heard a muffled impact, followed by a tremendous force that hit him, causing him to lose his balance and fly backward.

Three shiny crystal-armored figures collided into a heap, tumbling towards the direction of the spaceship.

Su Hao couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"

In the discovery of vacuum, speech cannot be heard at all. Hence, using divine thoughts to transmit sound: "You two idiots! Both flashing and teleporting will retain previous relative motion inertia, so don't randomly flash while on the spaceship!"

Yashan and Feng Cheng finally regained their balance with difficulty, exchanged a glance, and smirked.

Unintelligible words emerged in their minds: "First intimate contact with Senior Wei?"

Su Hao added, "How did you come out? How is the spaceship operating?"

Yashan transmitted, "Senior Wei, the spaceship is operating normally! It matches the budget results."

Su Hao said, "Let's go, back to the spaceship to check."

After speaking, his figure vanished and teleported to the 'teleportation room' on the spaceship.

This special teleportation point inside the spaceship was set up by Su Hao. It is a spherical space with a diameter of one kilometer, located in the central part of the spaceship. It serves as a buffer for the spaceship's speed, to prevent the person returning through teleportation from directly bumping into the spaceship's internal facilities.

Of course, if they were to bump into anything, it would likely be the spaceship, not Su Hao.

The moment Su Hao appeared in the teleportation room, a cotton-like wall swiftly rushed towards him at a high speed. Fortunately, Su Hao was prepared in advance, and a massive amount of spiritual power surged out, layer upon layer, acting as a buffer in front.

"Bang!"

A muffled noise. Su Hao immediately maintained his stability, scanned with his divine thoughts to confirm the orientation. In fact, there was no real sense of up or down, just confirming the ship's direction.

Only after Su Hao confirmed the direction and stabilized himself, two figures appeared next to him consecutively. They appeared and bumped towards the rear, quickly stopping and regaining their balance.

They were Yashan and Feng Cheng.

Feng Cheng excitedly clenched his fists, "So thrilling!"

Su Hao and the others arrived at the control room, where Fengyuan was facing a large number of screens, proficiently conducting various data analyses and operations. For him, piloting a spaceship seemed like a very simple task.

Upon seeing Su Hao and the others enter, Fengyuan exclaimed, "The ship's performance meets all standards and even exceeds the original estimates. Continuously flying at this acceleration, we will soon reach the theoretical maximum speed. This spaceship is simply amazing!"

Su Hao took a quick look around the cockpit, swiftly analyzing the current data, and nodded, "Not bad."

Fengyuan briefly introduced various data and then pointed to a specific indicator, "However, the outer shell temperature of the thrusters is increasing a bit quickly. Despite having array protection and special cooling measures, it can only last for an hour at most before it needs to be shut down for cooling. Cooling time will take about two hours."

Accelerate for an hour, rest for two hours...

That's acceptable!

Next, the group proceeded to test various facilities and devices on the spaceship, including launching single-person spacecraft, probes, mining vehicles, and so on.

This spaceship was their future living space, and the stability of daily life and work was crucial.

It wasn't until a month later that the four of them completed all mechanical tests.

...

Inside the spaceship, the small world took on a spherical shape, split into upper and lower parts. The lower part was the workshop experimental area, while the upper part was the living area of the small island.

Standing on the small island, looking up, it felt like standing in one's own backyard, gazing at the brilliant starry sky. Stars scattered on the land of the small island, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

This is what a panoramic spaceship skylight should be like, right?

Walking on the small island, it felt no different from walking on the source planet, almost ignoring the influence of weightlessness in space.

The reason being a special rune that Su Hao mastered - Collapse!

Surprisingly, this rarely used rune allowed him to easily simulate the gravity environment of a planet.

Indeed, accumulating more knowledge is not wrong. Who can say for sure when it might come in handy in the future?

At this moment, in the pavilion on the surface of the small island within the planet, Su Hao and his group started a celebratory feast.

Celebrating the successful launch of the spaceship! Celebrating taking the first step towards the starry vastness.

At the same time, they each imagined what kind of things they would encounter in the universe in the future.

Will you encounter all kinds of strange planets? Will you encounter space monsters? Will you meet travelers who, like them, drive spaceships to roam the starry sea?

It is all possible!

As long as you keep moving forward, everything imagined will happen.

Eating and drinking enough, lying on the grass, looking up at the stars, suddenly a mysterious doubt arose, and he couldn't help but ask, "Vey, what do you think the entire universe looks like?"

Su Hao smiled and shook his head, saying, "This question, I also want to know."

Yashan also sighed, "Compared to the universe, we are so tiny! We can't even begin to comprehend the entirety of the universe, right?"

Feiyuan also silently gazed at the stars, remaining silent.

They were considered very fortunate, at least taking the first step into the universe. How many lives are silently born and die on planets?

Moreover, no matter what they see, no matter what they know, it is never enough, they always want to know more.

It is just like a tiny ant climbing a tree, only able to see the bark and leaves in front of it. Perhaps it just wants to know what the tree looks like, but no matter how hard it tries, it can't do it.

When it is blown up into the sky by the wind, its eyes lucky enough to overlook the appearance of the tree, finally knowing what the tree it climbed looks like.

But then, doubts will multiply: the forest where the tree is located, the continent where the forest is located, and the planet where the continent is located...

Su Hao and the others, are they any different from that ant blown into the sky?

Looking up at the stars, all were awed by the vastness of the universe. Su Hao suddenly said, "No matter how vast and huge the universe is, as long as we keep on exploring, it's enough! I hope the universe is endless, that way, our journey will have no end."

Yashan and Feng Cheng eyes sparkled.

Exactly! As long as we follow Vey, what does it matter how vast the universe is?

Feiyuan looked at Su Hao in astonishment and couldn't help but think, "Is this where Mr. Javey's charm comes from? Such a strong will!"

Suddenly, Su Hao sensed something strange with his mental tentacles, after a brief check, he immediately discovered the source of the anomaly: "Huh? The positioning stones on the source star have been damaged!"

Initially, Su Hao thought it was his positioning stone being accidentally discovered and then destroyed like an ordinary rock, but soon he realized that it wasn't just one stone, they were continuously being destroyed one after another!

"What's happening on the source star?"

Su Hao immediately turned to Yashan and Feng Cheng, asking, "Yashan, Feng Cheng, any anomalies with your positioning stones stored on the source star?"

Yashan and Feng Cheng came to their senses, checking their mental tentacles as requested.

Yashan immediately exclaimed, "Dozens of my positioning stones are being continuously destroyed."

Feng Cheng added, "Mine too."

Su Hao's expression became serious, murmuring to himself, "Perhaps, it's here!"
