【For Subscription】_1 After approximately a dozen hours of work, Jia Yan had finally gathered most of the machinery into the spacecraft.
A few of the machines were of Auster origin, their design style strangely similar to Earth technology – extremely utilitarian, though lacking in aesthetic appeal.
Jia Yan found that those Auster machines were less damaged by the explosion.
The ornate, enigmatic machines of the “Empire”, however, were almost entirely wrecked.
After collecting all these items, Jia Yan felt that he had obtained a respectable level of skill in interstellar flight.
Although it seemed his Brainwave Power had reached a limit – even straining to accelerate, his maximum speed only ever reached around three to four hundred kilometers per hour.
His control of these powers was, however, becoming well-refined.
At least he no longer encountered embarrassing situations like intending to fly left, but drifting right!
Whilst his precision still needed some work, this wasn’t a problem that could be solved overnight.
As long as he had a solid foundation, with continuous practice like water wearing down stone, he would eventually master this skill!
With everything now in order, Jia Yan felt no attachment to Neptune.
He had never wanted to come here in the first place, and being confined in space for two or three months was already too long!
After all, he had merely spent a little over half a year since his rebirth!
Originally, Jia Yan considered picking a meteorite or something from Neptune’s planetary ring as a souvenir.
But after some thought, he abandoned this idea.
“I’m no longer human.
Picking these things up would serve no purpose.
Forget it!” Jia Yan placed this line of thought aside and began employing the spacecraft’s control methods that he had mastered.
Upon first operating the system, he remembered flipping a big blue switch, which seemingly started the Power System.
Following that, he pressed a button that seemed to release some restraints, causing the spacecraft to vibrate, though it still hadn’t started moving!
Only then did he push the control lever, propelling the spacecraft forwards or backwards!
It actually wasn’t too difficult!
Jia Yan performed this procedure again, and successfully launched the spacecraft!
Through the process of salvaging the mechanical wreckage, and occasionally studying the spacecraft’s dashboard, Jia Yan finally realized that a few of the dashboard readings were quite conspicuous.
Since it faintly linked back to Earth’s technological devices, he was able to discern that one tool was a speedometer or something similar.
There was also a progression bar, a significant thin strip reaching the lower part of the entire interface.
Over time, Jia Yan keenly noticed a slight decrease in the progression bar!
It appeared to be an energy indicator, and the energy supply seemed to be more than ample.
Despite Jia Yan meticulously keeping track, the frequent opening and closing of doors over the last few days, as well as the attempted spacecraft operations, almost had no effect on the energy levels!
He just didn’t know if the energy levels would fall more slowly if the system was quickly restarted!
Jia Yan wasn’t optimistic about his chances of adding fuel to this spacecraft, as he had no idea what type of energy it used!
Perhaps the energy he obtained from the small flying saucer might be somewhat useful, but how could he supplement it?
This problem was something Jia Yan had yet to figure out, so he would leave it to future research.
The most important task now was to return to Earth!
“Alright!
Now let’s see what your flight speed and endurance are like!” Jia Yan said as he manipulated the control lever.
Securing his stance, he successfully disengaged all the safety restraints of the spacecraft.
After preparing himself!
He abruptly pushed the control lever!
He suddenly felt his body flip backward.
The spacecraft had nothing to counteract the high acceleration, so the rapid speed increase caused Jia Yan to feel like his back was pressed against the rear wall, leaving a small dent in the metal!
After all, Big Mosquito’s weight far surpassed that of ordinary humans and the high acceleration brought extreme pressure to the structure supporting him!
Despite this, it proves that the speed of this enlarged flying saucer has indeed not disappointed Jia Yan!
“This speed is fast, but it definitely isn’t comparable to the speed of Daphne’s flying stick spacecraft.
It travelled the distance between Earth and Neptune in thirty days.
It would have to cover the diameter of Earth per second to achieve this!”
Although incredibly fast, Jia Yan still doesn’t think the current speed can be compared to the pace of Daphne’s flying stick spacecraft!
Although he was somewhat prepared, Jia Yan is still a bit disappointed!
However, the subsequent events brought a different gleam to the compound eyes of Big Mosquito!
That is, this state of acceleration continued!
A day passed, and the overwhelming force that Jia Yan felt didn’t change at all.
Finally, about a day and a half later, he gradually felt his body less tense.
“It was accelerating continuously for a day and a half; I dare not imagine how fast the speed is now!”
Jia Yan looked at a viewing window in front of him.
This viewing window popped up automatically when he tested operations a few days ago.
As he moved around the operating platform, the view encompassed the 180-degree scenery around the spacecraft.
The surrounding scenery doesn’t seem to have changed much, but Jia Yan knew that Neptune was already far behind him!
Regarding the departure from the deep blue planet at the farthest distance from the sun, although it is truly beautiful as he recalls now, the memories are filled with not-so-pleasant events.
So, Jia Yan has no regrets about leaving it!
“So that’s it.
The continuous acceleration for a day and a half is for the spacecraft, which lacks a gravity protection device, to not withstand too much acceleration force.
Otherwise, people inside would die directly from the overload force if it accelerated as quickly as Daphne’s flying stick!”
Jia Yan now understands why the spacecraft doesn’t accelerate all at once, even if he pushes the control stick to its limit.
It still needs a day and a half to gradually reach this speed!
The current speed, although not as fast as Daphne’s flying stick spacecraft, should at least be a third or a quarter of it!
You should know that this is already extremely terrifying.
If it’s at a third of the speed, then it will take three months to return to Earth, a quarter of the speed, will take four months.
But this is just theoretical speed!
You should know that Jia Yan has a significant problem that has not been solved yet!
That is, he still doesn’t know where Earth is!
At present, he is just continuously flying towards the Sun.
To be honest, looking at the Sun from Neptune is just a little brighter than other stars.
If it weren’t for Jia Yan firmly believing that this is the Sun, he might have flown towards other brighter stars.
Perhaps he might have even flown out of the Solar System!
Fortunately, Jia Yan knew he didn’t make a mistake.
After continuously flying for five days, the Sun began to take form in his view.
It was no longer just a slightly brighter star, but the real Sun!
Stellar bodies are indeed mysterious entities.
In this universe, they are an incredibly important component.
Their brilliance can be seen in almost any starfield in the universe.
They are not only extremely powerful, but their bodies are also unimaginably terrifying!
The Sun in the Solar System is merely one of the most ordinary stars.
Its size is neither large nor small, and its brightness and location in the Milky Way are all average, seemingly unremarkable!
But within the Solar System, it is still an unimaginable colossal entity.
It is not only enormously large, but it also accounts for 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.
In other words, all other planets and celestial bodies combined make up only 0.14% of the weight.
The rest is the mass of the Sun!
This colossal entity that nourishes Earth and illuminates humans appears simple, but according to calculations of astronomers on Earth, the Milky Way contains 200 billion to 600 billion stars like the Sun!
