Chapter 411 Starship, Success
Whether it was Lu Yize's twisted sense of humor or not, after learning that the people at the research institute often needed to spend money to buy baldness medicine, he specially approved a special fund for each of them to purchase baldness medicine.
While saving money and receiving benefits is a good thing, why does it inexplicably make one's teeth itch?
Damn it, damn it, so damn it! Why can Lu Yize do a month's worth of work in one night? Why is his hair so strong? We live in the age of superpowers, can't his hair stand up for itself?
Stimulated by the baldness-inducing drug, the researchers threw themselves even more into starship development. It's unclear whether Lu Yize's blueprints were effective or whether they were too stimulated by the drug, but in any case, the first small starship was successfully developed after three months.
When the starship was successfully developed, it was placed in an open area of the base, temporarily isolated from the view of others. If it failed, it could not be known to others in the base.
The situation has only been stable for a short time now, and in order to stabilize people's morale, this small starship is their first practical attempt, and it can only carry a maximum of 2000 kg.
This weight is manageable if it's just for carrying people, but if it's for carrying alien beasts, sea monsters, and other supplies, they would need a starship at least a hundred times larger.
Of course, there is another way, which is to let everyone else enter Lu Yize's special ability space, and only Lu Yize himself uses this small starship to fly to the insect planet.
So even if only this small starship can be successfully tested, it at least solves their most basic needs, and subsequent improvements can be made relatively easily.
The starship needed someone to go aboard to take off. After discussion, Lu Yize suppressed all the objections and decided to try it himself. Old Zhang strongly opposed this, feeling that Lu Yize should not be put in such a dangerous situation.
Morse agreed with Elder Zhang's words. If there were problems with the starship and Lu Yize had an accident, the stability of their base would be easily disrupted.
However, the reason given by Lu Yize left them speechless. Lu Yize simply looked at them and said, "If danger really occurs, my chances of survival as a seventh-level space-type ability user are far greater than those of others."
If they really encounter danger, Lu Yize can still use spatial teleportation, and if even a seventh-level ability user cannot survive, then the others will surely die as well.
Although they were worried, the opposition was eventually suppressed. Lu Yize led Jiang Yue into the starship. Because it was rushed to completion, the interior of the starship did not look very refined, and even the power transmission lines were still exposed.
The core power source for the starship's operation is superpowers. Driven by superpowers, the starship flies. This small starship alone consumed at least a year's worth of superpower reserves from their base.
They even launched a donation drive for superpowers within the base because of insufficient superpower reserves. Upon learning that the superpowers donated by the base were for starship research and development, everyone in the base, whether human or zombie, rolled up their sleeves and donated without hesitation!
So what if they have superpowers? They have plenty! Donate! They'll donate as much as they can!
Aside from some weak individuals and unawakened children, almost all residents of the base came to donate their supernatural abilities, making the previously depleted supernatural ability pool suddenly abundant.
Not to mention the amount of superpowers used in a year, their superpower reserves are now enough for ten years of use.
However, a small starship would require a year's worth of usage, and a large starship capable of carrying all of them would likely require even more alien energy. Simply raising funds for the people in their base would not be enough.
After receiving Lu Yize's mission, Chen Mingzhang immediately contacted the people in the other three major bases and explained to them the urgent need for superpowers. The three bases also knew the priorities and immediately started fundraising.
I heard it's about starships and the superpower competition. The people from the other three bases are also very enthusiastic. They have suffered so much at the hands of the Zerg, so of course they want to get everything back, bit by bit!
As long as they can humiliate the Zerg, they'd be willing to raise funds ten times, let alone just once!
Moreover, many ordinary people gained their superpowers thanks to the awakening potions provided by Nanling. Now that they are in dire need, it is only right to give them some.
The four bases spent a full half-month recruiting. During that time, people kept coming in one after another. Looking at the ever-increasing reserves of superpowers, even someone as cold-blooded as Lu Yize couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It's definitely different from my previous life.
On the day of the starship's test flight, Lu Yize activated the starship using his special ability. Jiang Yue sat beside him, completely focused, her mental energy operating at its maximum.
Chen Mingzhang, Xian Wenrui, Zhang Wenjing, Morse and others were all holding their breath. Although the starship test flight was not revealed, some sharp-eyed people still noticed it and were secretly paying attention.
The Rein and Reger family watched the starship take off, holding their breath and barely daring to breathe.
Lu Yize piloted the starship and performed the first space jump. The footage from inside the starship was transmitted back to the control room, and the first jump was a success! Countless people on the scene nervously and excitedly shook hands with each other.
Then came the second attempt at jumping. This time, they jumped away from their planet and into a dark, quiet, and silent environment. Everyone was terrified that something might go wrong during this part, and their hearts were in their throats.
Only when the image stabilized again did the people in the control room cheer. This was arguably the most difficult test, as it tested whether the external powers they had created for the starship could withstand that pressure.
It now appears that their experiment was at least very successful. After three more jumps, the originally silver-white starship was now completely black.
When Lu Yize piloted the starship to land in the most remote interstellar airspace of the Federation, his tense heart gradually settled down.
Oh, no, that's not right either. The Earth they're on now has been listed as one of the Federation's planets. Strictly speaking, they are the people from the most remote star system.
Because they were in their airspace, the equally remote little planet quickly became alert. However, after Lu Yize presented the federal certificate and explained that his purpose was just a test flight, the other side verified that there was no problem and then lowered their guard.
They were originally the most remote planet in the Federation, but they had heard about this Blue Star on the Star Network. In the future, this Blue Star will take over from them as the most remote star system.
Looking at the starship they had arrived in, it was said to be their first successful test flight. It was completely black and dilapidated. It was a miracle they hadn't crashed. The aliens on this small planet felt a little sorry for them.
I heard they had just experienced a Zerg invasion, and superpowers had only recently become widespread. Looking at these people, whose superpower levels weren't very high, it was a bit heartbreaking.
