Chapter 890 - 603 Origin of Mankind
Gathering the entire planet’s resources, along with the systematic knowledge provided by Duge, the pace of scientific research was incredibly fast. In just over ten days, they had progressed to the stage of manufacturing spacecraft.
Scientists, politicians, or ordinary people alike were all eagerly anticipating the spacecraft that would soon enter space, for it signified a step up in the civilization level of the planet, and their ability to capture resources from space.
The economy of Emperor Star had completely collapsed, and the rulers hoped that entering space could alleviate the impending economic disaster.
...
However, after examining the scientists’ spacecraft design, Duge decisively abandoned any expectations of them. The theoretical maximum speed of the spacecraft that excited the whole planet was only at the planetary level, a mere one-thousandth of the speed of light.
Even traveling to the nearest planet would take three days, let alone exploring the universe with it—it was simply not possible.
To break away from the current star system, a spacecraft nearly reaching the speed of light had to be created;
To freely navigate the entire universe, mastery of wormhole technology was essential...
Duge calculated that at the current rate of research, it would take Emperor Star at least twenty to thirty years to build a star-level spacecraft.
For space technology, twenty or thirty years was already a miracle.
