Chapter 326 Battleship
Ace said: "I have been on Earth for so many years, and I found that the direction of your research is energy conversion."
"You build engines that convert heat into mechanical energy."
"You built rockets, burning solid and liquid matter and converting it into kinetic energy."
"There are also various other machines. You have been working hard to transform things that exist in nature into the energy you want through a manufactured machine."
Zhang Hao was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Ace said, "Do you remember when Tanaka Kame launched the energy cannon? Did he use the barrel?"
Zhang Hao recalled: "It seems not, the energy is directly concentrated to form an energy cannon."
Ace said: "What's missing? Yes, it's missing the barrel, right? It's missing the firing device, right?"
"The existence of any device will consume energy itself. This is why your Earth cannot carry out interstellar travel."
Zhang Hao seemed to be thinking about something.
Indeed, car engines, rocket engines, etc., all have energy losses.
Nuclear power, which is known as the cleanest energy on earth, also has low thermal efficiency, because humans cannot directly utilize the energy generated by nuclear fusion, and it requires a series of devices to release it.
Seeing Zhang Hao gradually understand, Ace continued, "So, you shouldn't study how to improve thermal efficiency, but how to eliminate the intermediary device between energy conversions."
"Like the two craft working right now, did you see any engines?"
"That's the truth." Ace said.
Now that he had brought it up, Ace went on to say, "Also, regarding energy mining, you guys on Earth are also researching in the wrong direction."
"After so many years on Earth, I found that nuclear power should be one of the energy sources you most respect, but the energy contained in the small energy USB flash drive collected by the Tanaka Group far exceeds that of nuclear power."
Zhang Hao nodded. He had already felt this.
Just like his current artificial heart, it can be said that it will never need to be recharged in this life. The reason is that Ace helped him inject the energy collected by the Tanaka Group, which is the energy produced by the human body computer.
Ace said: "The energy produced by any carbon-based organism is the purest and most efficient energy. Every cell is an energy producer!"
Then he added: "Of course, this is the result that our AI Star Technology believes. Maybe bioenergy is not the final result."
Zhang Hao digested Ace's words.
Ace also fell silent.
The Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is rapidly approaching the moon.
As the Blackbird reconnaissance plane got closer and closer to the moon, Zhang Hao finally saw this ancient planet up close for the first time.
Its surface is uneven, with many craters of varying sizes.
Because of the sunlight, the slopes of these craters cast shadow areas.
Zhang Hao stared at these shadowy areas, eerie and dark.
The moon has only a thin atmosphere, which can even be ignored. With the help of two alien spacecraft, the Blackbird reconnaissance plane easily approached the lunar surface.
"Level off and fly straight," Ace said.
So, the Blackbird reconnaissance plane began to fly parallel to the lunar surface.
The Blackbird reconnaissance plane could have increased its altitude to avoid these craters, but Ace said that flying close to the ground would be beneficial to Zhang Hao.
The Blackbird reconnaissance plane shuttled between the craters, and Zhang Hao's flying skills became more and more proficient.
After flying for a while.
The sunlight was gradually left behind by Zhang Hao, and in front of him was an area shrouded in darkness, a place where the sunlight had never reached.
Zhang Hao murmured, "The far side of the moon should be ahead."
The black-painted reconnaissance plane dived into the eternal night.
The Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft was not equipped with a light source, and everything in front of him was pitch black.
Ace said, "I'll take control of the flight next."
With that, he took over control.
Ace's powerful thoughts flowed out, and then stopped abruptly at a distance of fifty meters.
The geographical environment within a radius of fifty meters appeared in his consciousness like an image.
The Blackbird reconnaissance plane did not slow down, and Zhang Hao felt that it was flying in a straight line.
"Are there no obstacles here?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask.
As he controlled the flight, Ace explained, "Because of tidal locking, the back of the moon is always facing the universe and is often hit by meteorites, so the geographical environment on the back of the moon is very different from that on the surface."
"Here, there are almost only craters of various sizes. Over billions of years, there is no longer any raised terrain."
After hearing Ace's words, Zhang Hao suddenly felt very close to the moon: this ancient planet has endured a lot for the Earth in silence.
"Recover consciousness!" Ace suddenly shouted!
The Blackbird reconnaissance plane descended rapidly and stopped in a crater more than ten meters deep.
A few seconds later, a flash of light appeared in the sky.
A few more seconds passed.
"It's those traitor fighter planes. We should get closer to the mothership." Ace said.
Because they didn't dare to use their consciousness to search for the location of the mothership, Zhang Hao and his companions had been flying aimlessly just now.
"What are they doing?" Zhang Hao asked.
"I think we should go to Earth and retrieve the energy USB drives collected by the Tanaka Group," Ace analyzed.
He continued, "It seems that you will have to walk next. The mothership is nearby, and the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft does not have an enemy identification system. Once it gets close to the mothership, it will definitely be discovered."
Zhang Hao nodded.
The top cabin of the Blackbird reconnaissance plane was opened, and Zhang Hao, wearing a space suit, slowly crawled out.
Zhang Hao gently jumped off the Blackbird reconnaissance plane.
After a moment, I stepped on the ground, which was slightly hard.
"Let's go." Ace said.
On the far side, the moon was less affected by the earth's gravity. With the help of the crater wall, Zhang Hao jumped a few times and landed steadily on the lunar surface.
In front of Zhang Hao, in the distance, the mothership was emitting the only light here.
The location of the bright light was just to the left of the Blackbird reconnaissance plane, so the two men did not notice it just now.
Zhang Hao shook his body. Even though he was wearing a special space suit, every pore of his body still felt cold.
There is no sunlight here and the temperature is close to minus 200 degrees Celsius.
Zhang Hao aimed at the bright light and jumped hard.
Thus, the first human being on Earth to leap across the back of the moon was born.
Half an hour later, the outline of the AI alien mothership appeared clearly in front of Zhang Hao.
The battleship is about four hundred meters long and its width cannot be seen. There is a raised platform in the middle that extends outward.
Zhang Hao couldn't see the other side of the mothership, but he thought it was a symmetrical design.
Zhang Hao felt like a huge cross.
There is no landing gear underneath the mothership, and it is suspended more than ten meters above the ground.
Zhang Hao moved closer.
He saw more clearly.
The battleship is made of an unknown black material, forming a seamless whole.
There are traces of burns on both sides of the hull, which may be evidence of interstellar travel.
Zhang Hao turned his head left and right, and could not see any riveted parts on the hull.
The light just seen in the distance was a band of light running through the front and back of the ship.
It is not known whether it is this band of light that combines the upper and lower hulls into one.
The entire battleship was floating quietly in the darkness.
