They all burn diesel, and the engines installed on engineering heavy-duty trucks are much more powerful than the diesel engines on agricultural pickups.

In the same way, the curvature engines installed on large spaceships are far less effective than the pocket-sized curvature engines on small or micro spaceships.

Generally speaking, the curvature engine mounted on a small or miniature spacecraft can only support the spacecraft to launch a transition within a short distance, and the upper limit is probably between half a light-year to one light-year.

In addition, after each jump, it takes a while for the engine to cool down...

Why do those wealthy businessmen in the universe prefer to use large spaceships to transport goods? The main reason is that the jump engine of the large spacecraft is more powerful, and the distance of each jump is longer, which can reduce the time required for delivery as short as possible on the road.

As for more equipment, large body can load more defensive facilities, etc., these are not the key reasons.

After all, there are as many pirates in the universe as there are cow hairs. The more cargo you have, the easier it is for interstellar pirates to target you. As for the defensive facilities... Not to mention that ammunition costs money, every defensive battle will offset part of the profit. The key is that there is no such defensive facility that can be foolproof and 100% guaranteed not to be broken by pirates.

That's a bit of a stretch.

All in all, the curvature engine installed on the Minerva is not yet powerful enough to support the random jump of the spacecraft. Taking this voyage from the earth to Proxima b as an example, it is impossible for Shi Xiaolei to reach the destination in one jump in the spaceship.

The really practical and most time-saving and labor-saving method should be to jump out of the solar system first, go to the nearest wormhole, take a shortcut and cross to an exit closest to Proxima b, and then make another short-distance jump to reach Proxima Centauri near b.

"If it's a large spaceship, it doesn't need to be so troublesome." While adjusting the course and controlling the spaceship to move in the direction of the wormhole, Shi Xiaolei replied to Leo Fitz, who was like a curious baby: "Take the Cree Let’s take an example of your own spaceship. Ronan the Accuser’s vehicle, the Dark Star, including the other spaceships in his fleet, are all tens of kilometers long..."

"The larger the spaceship, the larger the engine on board, and of course, the higher the power. So, they don't need to go through the wormhole at all, just rely on the performance of the spaceship itself, just swish, and then Appeared near the Earth."

"Oh, I forgot, this matter should be regarded as a secret in your bureau. With the caution of your bureau chief, it is likely to be hidden very tightly, and few people should know about it." Speaking of this, Shi Xiaolei turned his head Go, and looked at Coulson who was sitting in the back: "Dude, didn't you hear a lot of secrets from me that day? What did Fury say after you went back to report? I guess, he should have turned the file Unlock it, take it out and show it to you, right?"

"I see, but I'm not sure if that's all." Coulson nodded.

"Are there any records in the data about the spaceships that the Cree flew outside the earth?" Pointing back at Leo Fitz, Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "Come on, prove it to him, I'm not talking nonsense."

"The information only mentioned that the spaceship is very large, and the introduction of the curvature engine..." Coulson shook his head: "Unfortunately, I didn't see it."

"Huh? Didn't you collect the wreckage after the crash of the spaceship? If I remember correctly, there must be at least three or five Kerry spaceships that were destroyed at that time..." Recall the plot of "Captain Marvel, the last battle" , Ronan's fleet should be over Nevada or California. Shi Xiaolei smacked his lips: "Could it be that they all fell into the Pacific Ocean? No way, there are quite a few ships. No matter how crooked the sights are, they won't all miss the target, and none of them landed on the ground."

"The same question was also raised in the materials that the director showed me." Coulson said, "I asked the director that day, and he said he didn't know, and he felt very puzzled."

"Didn't he do it?" Shi Xiaolei raised his eyebrows: "With Fu Rui's character, I think it might be hidden by him."

"Probably not." Coulson smiled: "According to the time calculation on the file, he was not the director at that time. Moreover, if the wreckage really fell on the ground, it would not be so large. can be hidden.”

"Yi, this is strange. Where did such a large wreck go?"

"Either as you said, it all fell into the Pacific Ocean." After a pause, Coulson made another guess: "But I think it may also be the work of the mages."

"Mages? You mean...the mages of Karma Taj?"

"Well." Coulson nodded, and expressed his analysis: "You told me personally that the mages of Karma Taj have always been on the front line of protecting the earth from being invaded by the outside world~www.mtlnovel .com~ will try its best to eliminate all x factors that may interfere with the normal development of human beings, won't it?"

"So? I remember that I should have said that mages would not easily intervene in things like alien invasion."

"Yes, you said it, I remember it very clearly. I mean..." Coulson smiled: "If the wreckage falls to the ground and ends up in our hands, then, according to what we have been doing all along , will inevitably conduct research on the wreckage, and then deduce some trans-epochal alien technology.”

"I think that they may not want these cross-age alien technologies to appear. In order to ensure that the technology develops and improves according to the normal rhythm, they intervene secretly, interfering with the falling route of the alien spaceship wreckage, and throwing them all into the abyss. In the unreachable sea."

"Perhaps, it directly prevented the crash of the spacecraft? Throwing them into the depths of space with a backhand?" Following Coulson's train of thought, Leo Fitz thought for a while and proposed another possibility.

"Hmm..." After pondering for a while, Shi Xiaolei smacked his lips again: "With the ability of Master Gu Yi, it can be done. I'll ask her later, maybe she did it."

While chatting, the artificial intelligence Minerva suddenly interrupted the conversation.

"The leap is about to end. Next, there may be a slight vibration. This is a normal reaction, so don't worry."

"How long until the transition is over?"

Turning around and sitting upright again, Shi Xiaolei confirmed to Minerva while looking at the dashboard.

"It is estimated that there are still fifteen seconds left for the transition. There are still 13, 12, 11, ten seconds countdown, 9, 8..."

"Guys!" In line with Minerva's countdown, Shi Xiaolei greeted the 'passengers' behind him loudly: "All concentrate, sit still and support yourself!"
