<h4>Chapter 1605: The World Light-Years Away</h4>


    The same scene was not only observed by the North American Space Agency.


    Almost all the regional alliances on the whole Earth that had made achievements in the aerospace field, or even those who had a little idea about space, witnessed this amazing moment.


    vic Union.


    Aerospace Forces Command Center.


    Looking at the report from the intelligence department directly under the headquarters, Commander Rokov, who was standing in themand room, had an unbelievable expression on his face. He couldn’t say a word for a long time.


    It was not until he read the report on the holographic screen for a second time that he gulped and spoke in an incredible voice.


    “Flying faster than the speed of light, crossing a distance of 120 million kilometers in 5 minutes... Could something be wrong? Like, there are two starships...”


    “General.” Standing next to Rokov, Major Vizenov said in a serious tone, “My subordinates are willing to use their military rank as a guarantee, everything they say is what they saw.”


    Themand room fell silent.


    Facing the briefing on the holographic screen, Rokov was speechless.


    As the suprememander of the vic Union’s aerospace forces, no one knew the strategic value of this technology better than him. If all the starships of the Pan-Asian First Fleet were equipped with this technology, things like travel distance and supply lines would no longer be a problem for them.


    As long as they wanted, they could appear in any corner of this sr system. This strategic capability had absolute control over all regions of the sr system. It would require at least 30 spaceports the same size as the Lagrange Space Base, and at least ten space forces equal to the Pan-Asian First Fleet to match the equivalent power.


    And now, Pan-Asia could rely on the Lagrange Space Base alone to maintain this absolute military control capability.


    Whether it was the space elevator or second-generation controble nuclear fusion, when ced in front of such a powerful technology, the rest was irrelevant...


    Having realized the seriousness of the problem, Commander Rokov, who recovered from the shock, immediately ordered the adjutant standing next to him.


    “This is beyond what we can handle.


    “Report this matter to Moscow immediately! Be sure to let the chairman know the situation as soon as possible!”


    ...


    At the same time, at the Pan-Asian Cooperation Headquarters.


    There was a sound of exmation in the chairman’s office.


    “Good job!”


    With both hands on the desk, Li Guangya got up from the office chair and walked around the office several times with a joyful expression on his face. He finally stopped and clenched his fists with excitement.


    There was unconcealed joy in his tone as he continued to speak in an emotional voice.


    “Academician Lu can always bring us unexpected surprises!”


    <i>Faster than the speed of light...</i>


    To be honest, Li Guangya never thought that this technology would be seen in his lifetime before Lu Zhou woke up. After the expression of the Z particle gravitational wave equation was solved some time ago, and the entire academicmunity was discussing the possibility of faster than light speed, the possibility finally began to emerge in Li Guangya’s mind.


    However, after consulting Professor Lu Wenmao, he almost put the matter away.


    No one thought that things would turn around so quickly.


    Just when he had almost no hope, Lu Zhou quietly put this great surprise directly in front of him. When the Lagrange Space Base reported the good news to him, he nearly fainted from excitement.


    It was foreseeable that once a breakthrough in faster than light technology was achieved, not only would the Pan-Asian authorities’ control of the Martian colony be further strengthened, but his ambitions for the world outside the asteroid belt would no longer be just an unattainable dream!


    He didn’t even need to wait 100 years before he could use his eyes to witness their starship spread the mes of civilization to the world light-years away.


    Even just thinking about it made him full of adrenaline...


    With an expression of joy on his face, Wei Song, who was standing at the desk, asked in a voice that was trembling with shock.


    “Does this news need to be kept confidential? Or postpone the disclosure?”


    Li Guangya’s index finger lightly tapped on the desk. He sat back on the office chair and only thought for two seconds before making a decision immediately.


    “It’s not necessary, just make it public.”


    “But the reaction of the internationalmunity—”


    “Let them react. From the beginning, I never intended to hide this.” Li Guangya continued with a faint smile on his face, “Besides, a warship that size disappeared from the radar and suddenly appeared in the orbit of Mars 100 million kilometers away. As long as they are not blind or fools, they will suspect something.”


    Since this matter was no longer a secret, it was better to publicize it openly than to try and hide it.


    After hearing this news, the people who were watching the Pan-Asian Cooperation with covetous eyes would have an interesting look on their faces...


    ...


    Just when the international situation was raging because of a starship that suddenly disappeared from the Earth-Moon system and suddenly appeared in the orbit of Mars, the Pan-Asian Corporation suddenly held a press conference and announced a message at the conference.


    The cruiser Qinling, which departed from the Tianzhou spaceport a few days ago,pleted the first faster-than-light transition in human history with the warp engine developed and designed by Academician Lu and reached a distance of 100 million kilometers in just 5 minutes.


    When this news was announced, the entire press conference was strangely quiet for a few seconds. Then immediately afterward, the entire venue waspletely detonated as if a bomb had been set off.


    After the reporters on the scene heard the news, they squeezed towards the front of the press conference like they were crazy, just to get closer to the podium.


    The reporters who stood a little further away, in addition to squeezing forward desperately, opened their mouths and shouted out their own questions. All politeness and order were abandoned behind.


    Even though there were security guards maintaining order, the situation at the scene was frantic and almost out of control...


    “Faster than light?! Are you sure?”


    “Isn’t Academician Lu the chief consultant of the space elevator project? What is a warp drive?”


    “Excuse me, when did the research on the faster than light engine start?”


    “Is this technology funded by the military? Will it be open to civilian use?”


    Just as the spokesperson of the space agency was busy coping with the bombardment of the reporters, the relevant news had already been put on its wings and flew from the scene of the press conference to the Inte.


    Whether it was faster than light technology itself or the person who researched faster than light technology, it was undoubtedly an object worthy of attention in the eyes of the public.


    The news about the breakthrough of faster than light technology was like a virus, spreading wildly across the entirework, and the sensational effect was almost like a tsunami, sweeping every corner of the Inte.


    Especially in the LSPM forum, the rted discussion posts flooded the screen.


    Both the public and the academic circles were shocked by this sudden news.


    Almost all theoretical physicists and experts in the field of aerospace engineering cared only about one thing at the moment.


    Which was—


    How did he do it?!
