Kona Satellite, Great Xia Base Command Center.
On the holographic screen, densely packed streams of dark green data poured down like a raging waterfall. The only sound left in the entire command center was the hum of large computers running at full capacity.
Draped in a dark green general's overcoat, Zheng Jinren braced both hands on the command console, his eyes fixed on the three-dimensional blueprint on the large screen.
It was the reward the Kona Civilization had paid for the third-stage mission.
"Has the Academy of Sciences replied yet? What were the results of their verification of this technology?" Zheng Jinren asked in a low voice.
A senior staff officer strode forward to report, unable to hide his excitement:
"Reporting, Commander-in-Chief! The Academy of Sciences has completed its preliminary analysis!"
"This interstellar engine technology from the Kona Civilization represents an enormous generational leap for Great Xia!"
"It includes a mature energy control ratio and super-large plasma jet matrix architecture!"
"The old academicians at the Academy of Sciences have all gone wild. Elder Qian even slammed his desk during communications and said that with this technology, the peak speed of Great Xia's next generation of interstellar warships could reach at least eight percent of the speed of light. Once we fully master it, it could even reach ten percent!"
A hint of a smile appeared on Zheng Jinren's unflappable face, and he slammed his hand on the desk:
"Good! Only with speed will Great Xia truly have a foothold in the Sea of Stars."
"Right, are there any other benefits?"
"It has applications in related fields!" the staff officer said excitedly.
"It's not just for spaceships. This technology's energy conversion rate and thrust ratio formula can be applied perfectly to Blue Star's 'planetary engines'!"
"If we can upgrade and optimize
