[Light Speed Engine]

Hala Planet.

Yon-Rogg was immersed in his own fighting training, sweating profusely. Since his boyhood, he had almost never interrupted high-intensity fighting training.

This perseverance made him a great fighter and earned him the favor of decision-makers, leading to his current rank of colonel.

For Yon-Rogg, the position didn't come easily.

He's not a Kree in the standard sense, as can be seen from his skin color. A true Kree has blue skin, while he is white-skinned and belongs to a minority group.

Therefore, although Yon-Rogg has the identity of a Kree, many people inside and outside the Kree Empire do not consider him one. This has brought many obstacles to his ascent.

"Yon-Rogg." A blue-skinned Kree female warrior entered. "It's time for us to act."

Yon-Rogg stopped training and turned to look at her. "Planet C53?"

Planet C53 is also Earth, a broader term used by many technological civilizations.

"Yes, according to the monitoring results, Supreme Intelligence has issued an order. We need to immediately go to Planet C53 to intercept the light-speed engine technology and energy core of the traitor Mar-Vell," the female warrior said.

Yon-Rogg nodded. "I hope the lightspeed engine can bring a turning point in the current war. Let's go, Minn-Erva."

...

At the empty test flight field, Dr. Lawson and Carol boarded the Isis fighter one after another, while Maria was on standby in the open space not far away.

The Isis fighter is a two-seat fighter specially designed for the lightspeed engine. The two sat in the cockpit, preparing for the test flight.

"Prepare for the first phase of testing, atmospheric cruise," Dr. Lawson said.

"Yes." Carol nodded and made a gesture to Maria, who was not far away. Then the fighter plane started slowly, accelerated along the runway, and finally rushed into the sky.

The Isis fighter jet shuttled across the sky, quickly breaking the sound barrier, causing a sonic boom in the air, accompanied by a loud noise.

"Speed Mach 3.0, load 7.5G, everything is normal," reported Carol.

Dr. Lawson said, "Starting non-classical acceleration."

"Yes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the lightspeed engine of the Isis fighter started, and blue light emanated from the fuselage, making it look like it was transformed into a beam of light.

At the same time, the speed of the fighter began to increase exponentially, and the numbers on the dashboard kept jumping.

Just as the two were watching the flight situation nervously, the alarm of the aircraft radar suddenly sounded, and a red dot appeared behind the aircraft on the monitor.

"What's that? A MiG fighter?" Carol said while trying to change direction to avoid the plane behind them.

"Boom!"

However, as soon as the Isis fighter turned around, two beams came from behind, followed by an explosion, and the fighter was damaged and lost its balance.

Dr. Lawson realized something, her face instantly turned white. She couldn't help holding the weapon at her waist and hurriedly said, "Accelerate to the speed of light!"

She didn't need to say more; Carol knew what to do. After all, the test plane didn't have much combat power, and running away was the best choice.

With Carol's operation, the speed of the fighter soared, and the blue light of the fuselage became more and more dazzling.

Seeing that the speed of the Isis fighter was about to reach the speed of light, the pursuers behind them became anxious and fired continuously. Several beams bombarded the fighter one after another.

"Boom boom boom!"

Several beams severely damaged the structure of the Isis fighter, bringing the rapid acceleration to an abrupt end.

The fighter began to plummet, and the surrounding scene turned around.

Carol gritted her teeth, breathing hard, trying to correct the posture of the Isis fighter. But it didn't seem to help, and the fighter continued to plummet to the ground.

"Parachute!" By now, they could only save their lives first.

However, fate played a cruel joke. With Carol's actions, the two did not successfully eject but remained in place—the ejection device of the fighter had malfunctioned.

Dr. Lawson was stunned, and Carol responded in a very short moment: "Sit tight!"

She tried her best to adjust the flight attitude, finally changing the trajectory of the Isis fighter when it was about to crash, making it glide along the low altitude for a while, slowing down and flying to the surface.

The soft surface of the water allowed the aircraft to be cushioned, but at the fighter's speed, even a collision with water was enough to cause significant damage.

"Boom—"

The waves splashed on the water, and the Isis fighter was almost torn apart. Fortunately, it finally stopped on the shore, and the two temporarily saved their lives.

"Dr. Lawson!" Carol was slightly injured and quickly climbed out of the driver's seat to Dr. Lawson's side. Dr. Lawson was seriously injured, with blue blood seeping from her forehead.

Carol noticed the blue blood and asked in confusion, "Doctor...why is your blood blue?"

"Carol..." Dr. Lawson's breath was weak. She took out the beam gun at her waist. "They are after me and my technology. Sorry for involving you."

"What? Who are they?" Carol wondered.

Dr. Lawson, unable to elaborate, put the beam gun in her hand and murmured, "Destroy the engine, don't let them get it..."

After that, there was no sound.

"Doctor!" Carol yelled, but Dr. Lawson didn't respond and gradually lost all warmth.

At this moment, a peculiarly shaped fighter jet landed from the sky and parked not far from the wreckage of the Isis fighter jet.

Carol turned her head to look and saw two warriors getting off the plane, one seemingly a male human, the other a blue-skinned female, clearly not human.

She quickly clenched the beam gun and looked at the two of them vigilantly.

Yon-Rogg and Minn-Erva approached.

"Who are you!" Carol asked, shaking the gun in her hand.

"Don't make senseless resistance, Earthling," said Yon-Rogg.

Carol gasped and remained silent.

As Yon-Rogg was about to approach, she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, aimed the muzzle at the engine of the plane, and pulled the trigger.

"No!" Yon-Rogg's expression changed drastically, but he was a step too late.

A beam of light lasered out, hitting the lightspeed engine of the damaged Isis fighter.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the lightspeed engine exploded, and the turbulent blue light poured out, almost all rushing towards Carol.

Under the impact of the massive energy, Carol immediately flew out and lost consciousness.

Yon-Rogg rushed over, staring blankly at the blown-up aircraft engine, and then at Carol, who was unconscious on the ground.

"This is..." He seemed to have found something.

At this moment, a faint layer of blue light surged on Carol's body, exuding strange fluctuations.
