"A single low grade immortal stone per hour…" Lin Mu noted.
It was efficient.
Remarkably so.
But speed alone was not the only concern.
Lin Mu's expression grew more serious.
"Acceleration is easy," he muttered. "Deceleration is not."
The ship could continue gaining speed if he allowed it.
There was no natural force to slow it down.
No resistance.
No drag.
But that also meant that stopping required deliberate effort.
And most of all energy... A lot of it.
Lin Mu adjusted the controls slightly, maintaining their current speed.
"We will not push further," he said.
Meng Bai blinked.
"Why not go faster?"
Daoist Chu answered before Lin Mu could.
"In space, control is more important than speed."
Lin Mu nodded.
"If we accelerate too much, stopping in time becomes difficult."
He pointed toward the map.
"There are obstacles."
Asteroids.
Debris.
Fragments of the destroyed planet.
Even small objects could be dangerous at high speeds.
A collision…
Would be catastrophic.
