Long Feiyu was indeed someone who made a living as a galactic traveler. He really knew everything. He explained, "The concept of curved mirror is based on the combination of warp state, warp drive, warp image transmission, and many other space technologies. The Federation has been working on the development of this technology since many years ago. It has always been a competition between the Sheng Hao Group and the Star Rainbow Group."
Ding Meng had known about this for a long time. It was when the Transit String came to Blue Pole Star City to invite Cartel back.
Long Feiyu said, "Whether it's the warp state or the warp engine, there are three unavoidable problems. First, the problem of energy consumption. Second, the problem of time. Third, the problem of distance. These are the three unavoidable problems."
Everyone present had been in outer space for a long time, so they naturally knew about the three unavoidable problems he mentioned.
The warp state was to fold and distort interstellar space. The energy consumption for this was astronomical. Unless it was a particularly important military operation, the fleet would not enter the warp state. Therefore, this thing was only used by the military.
The warp drive could accelerate the starship to superluminal speed. Once the speed was the same as light, time would slow down. If the distance was too long, the starship might have only flown for a short while in the wormhole, but in the three-dimensional space outside, decades or even centuries might have passed. This was also why the Federal Empire did not dare to travel tens of thousands of light-years. It was not that it was impossible, but it was theoretically possible. After all, the risk was too great.
As for opening a spacetime rift for teleportation, the biggest problem was the coordinates. This was also the risk of a space jump. Its randomness could cause one to be lost in the depths of the universe forever.
Ding Meng hesitated and said, "Can the curved mirror technology solve these problems?"
Long Feiyu shook his head and said, "It can't be solved, but it can be avoided. For example, it consumes a small amount of energy to open a wormhole from a fixed place, then accurately teleport the starship to the designated coordinates. The coordinates transmitted can be used to determine the position of the matrix. Finally, it can be turned back in the same way …"
It sounded no different from a space jump, but Ding Meng still had a taste of it. This kind of transmission did not consume energy and could accurately determine the position. Most importantly, it could turn back and jump. To a certain extent, the starship could directly jump into outer space without worrying about not being able to return. This technology could directly increase the range of activities of the exploration fleet by hundreds or thousands of times, and the safety factor was quite high.
"Has the Curved Mirror Technique been successful?" Ding Meng asked.
Long Feiyu said, "It hasn't officially taken shape yet, but the Starbow Group has already produced results."
Ding Meng asked, "Brother Long, have you seen it before?"
Long Feiyu sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, Brother, we brothers and sisters have been dealing with materials in outer space all this time. It's inevitable that we have to deal with regular enterprises. Recently, we have been delivering goods to a trading company called Far Sail in Blue Pole Star City. The boss of Far Sail also has his own fleet, but he wasn't as fast as them several times."
Ding Meng was curious. "What do you mean?"
Long Feiyu said, "When it comes to dealing with materials, I'm recognized as the fastest in the circle, but there are people who are even faster than me. They also came out of Blue Pole Star City and flew southeast, but halfway there, they disappeared. I can guarantee that they teleported away. This is actually normal, but what's not normal is that by the time we arrived at Planet Beidou, they had already returned to Blue Pole Star City. How do you explain this?"
Ding Meng understood. "Let's assume that Qing Feng and Jin Tai were kidnapped by various large research organizations, and the Poison Propulsion Technique was leaked. Naturally, the Starbow Group wanted to get their hands on this technique. Next, they wanted to experiment with the Curved Mirror Technique, so the Poison Propulsion Technique was used on one or several starships to avoid detection."
Xiao Wei was confused. "Why do they have to avoid detection?"
Ding Meng explained, "For the Curved Mirror Technique to achieve interstellar travel, the two ends of the starship must have fixed coordinates, and the teleportation point must be the same place. This place is either very secretive, or not many people go there. Which place do you think is the safest?"
Xiao Wei was enlightened. Pandora was definitely the safest place. It was densely packed with poisonous stars. Who would go there for no reason?
As the teleportation point, it was undoubtedly the best place.
With the two technologies, the traffic control in the space station, and the clues provided by Long Feiyu, all the signs pointed to the fact that the integrated starship that was about to pass through Planet Phoenix's space station was the Starbow Group's starship. It was because it was flying toward Flying Star City, and further south from Flying Star City was Pandora. This route completely matched Long Feiyu's speculation.
Xiao Wei stood up anxiously. "Mr. Ding Meng, please save Qing Feng and Jin Tai. You know that they are our family."
"Don't worry, Xiao Wei!"
Ding Meng smiled and gestured for him to sit down. "I'll go even if you don't rush me. Don't worry, I'll be there before they do. If my guess is correct, the Starbow Group will definitely land in Flying Star City."
Long Feiyu's eyes flickered. "How so?"
Ding Meng smiled. "Whether they're going to Pandora or not, Flying Star City is the last supply point in that space zone. It's also the most inconspicuous place. However …"
He paused for a moment and continued. "I'll be exposed if I go to Flying Star City openly. It'll be best if I can sneak in without anyone noticing."
Long Feiyu smiled. "Brother Ding, don't worry about that. I can't promise you anything else, but as someone in our line of work, I can definitely make use of you."
Ding Meng hurried to express his gratitude. "Then, I'll have to trouble you again, Brother Long."
It was already late at night. Everybody left after eating and drinking for a while.
Yu Liang had already prepared a room for Ding Meng on the training floor on the fifth floor of the terminal building. There was nothing he could do about it. The conditions of Star KV303 were limited. Most people still lived in the basement or on the first floor of the terminal building. It was quite difficult to find a room on the lobby of the induction cabin. Of course, Ding Meng was the only one who had such a privilege.
After returning to the Federation, he hadn't rested at all. He had been running around everywhere. This was a rare moment of leisure. Ding Meng didn't plan to cultivate because Dai Yi was also in the room. He couldn't cultivate even if he wanted to.
"Ding Meng, I'm going to Flying Star City with you this time!"
Dai Yi was sitting on the sofa. She had just finished taking a shower. The white nightgown on her upper body covered her completely, but the hem of the robe was very short. Her long legs, which were as white as jade, were particularly eye-catching as she sat cross-legged on the sofa.
Ding Meng said helplessly, "Miss Dai, the risk this time …"
"You want to leave me behind again? That won't do!" Dai Yi couldn't take it anymore. "I'm a warlord now. What's there to be afraid of?"
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. 'It's true that you're a warlord now, but how many of the opponents I've encountered have been warlords?
Warlords are simply not enough. '
He wanted to reply with a few words, but Dai Yi climbed over from the sofa, sat on his lap, and hugged him tightly.
'Ahem, you're a little too tempting!'
Ding Meng felt like he was surrounded by a warm, fragrant, and soft body. The fragrance on Dai Yi's body was very difficult to control. More importantly, he had no place to put his hands. Where should he put them?
Miss Dai's chest, waist, or thighs?
"I want to go, I want to go, I want to go. This time, no matter what you say, I have to go!" Dai Yi hugged Ding Meng tightly.
Ding Meng felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. He had no choice but to hug her slender waist. 'Hmm?
This feeling … it feels so good even through the nightgown? '
Dai Yi seemed to know what he was thinking. She leaned against his face and said with a sweet smile, "You're leaving your wife behind and only thinking about dealing with those things."
"Ahem!"
Ding Meng had drunk a lot earlier, and now he was a little tipsy after being teased by her. However, he still felt a little apologetic. "Miss Dai, I'm really sorry that I haven't spent enough time with you. This time, I'll definitely spend more time with you when I come back!"
Dai Yi didn't say anything. She blushed shyly and covered his mouth. This action completely ignited the fire between the two of them. Ding Meng's hand accidentally slipped onto her thigh. This pair of jade-like legs that she was so proud of would make many people kneel down. However, Ding Meng was the only one who actually had such close contact with her. Once he put his hand on her thigh, he couldn't move his hand away.
After the two of them were lovey-dovey for a while, they couldn't wait any longer. Ding Meng carried Dai Yi in his arms and then walked into the bedroom. The light in the room was quickly extinguished.
Logically speaking, after the brain of an origin ability user was developed, the brain didn't need to rely on sleep to rest. However, after a man had experienced a woman for real, he would still feel tired. This was like the spring rain moistening the earth. It always needed a period of time to settle down before it could grow strong.
Planet KV303 was mostly at night, but this morning, the sky outside was actually bright. The two of them had been awake for a long time. Dai Yi was still in Ding Meng's arms and refused to get up.
In fact, Ding Meng didn't want to get up either. However, it was almost time to depart, and the sound of the starship's engine could already be heard in the square.
"Ding Meng, I've thought about it. I'm not going!" The redness on Dai Yi's face had yet to fade.
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "Didn't you say that you wanted to go the whole night?
Why did you change your mind now? "
"It's all your fault!"
Dai Yi was as shy as an apple. She buried her head in the pillow. "My whole body hurts. I need to sleep for at least a day before I can get out of bed."
When she said this, Ding Meng also felt his face burning. Because they were both newbies, the two of them had been tossing and turning for an entire night. From the initial pain of being unfamiliar to the later joy and sweetness, they really couldn't stop. Ding Meng couldn't even remember how many times they had done it. In any case, the two of them were stuck together the whole time.
After this incident, Dai Yi truly gave him the feeling of family. It could be said that she was the first family member he had after coming to the Federation. He couldn't help but hug Dai Yi's shoulder and gently kiss her face. "Miss Dai, don't worry. I'll be back soon."
Dai Yi also snuggled up to him. "I know. Everyone needs you. You have to go and come back quickly. After all, I've already endured seven years. A little more won't make a difference. Also, you're not allowed to call me Miss Dai anymore. Listen, don't pinch me."
Ding Meng laughed. "Then what should I call you?"
Dai Yi blushed and said coquettishly, "Big wife, or call me by my nickname, Little Yi!"
"Big wife?" Ding Meng couldn't help but laugh. "Don't tell me you want me to have a second wife?"
Dai Yi rebuked, "You'll definitely have one in the future. With the speed of your growth, you'll definitely be a famous big shot in the Federation. Big shots usually have several wives. Otherwise, you'll be looked down upon by those guys. It's just that I'm your big wife. If your other women don't know what's good for them, as your wife, I can deal with them at any time …"
Ding Meng was speechless. However, marriage had always been like this in the Federal Empire. It couldn't be more normal for Dai Yi to have such thoughts.
However, the thoughts of the iron-willed straight man were also different from ordinary people. "Alright, Little Yi. If you say that I really have a lot of wives in the future, then I won't be able to cultivate every night. Won't I be exhausted to death?"
"Dream on!
What nonsense are you thinking? "
Dai Yi blushed and pushed him away. "Alright, alright. It's time to go. Don't let Brother Long and the others wait too long!"
