And much more than that, though Harlock could see the way Donnie sink back, shaking his head quietly as if trying to tell him that he was going to turn his ire on the turtle.
"Hm... I don't think there's words in this language to describe it," He started, letting Donnie lead the conversation, as he writes something in the other script, tapping the pencil. "But I'll try, there's two broad categories - first is Rocket, that have two main variations, one that give power by using heat to burn a fuel that," He puts his hands together and pulls them away pantomiming 'expand' blanking on it for the moment. "And creates force that pushes the ship. The second uses a chemical reaction to achieve the same result, each have their uses and subtypes, as shipbuilders have to consider weight, size, and how dense the air is for leaving the world, and have to pick which type of system and fuel to use." And those two are the simpler ones to explain.
The third is... I don't think there's a word for it, but we call it Ion. This one is best for long-term travel in the sea of stars, so most ships have a combination of a Rocket and Ion - Ion uses electricity to charge tiny particles, changing their nature to create that same - ah, there's the word - thrust." With that, he finished, knowing he gave a very simplified explanation.
if there's errors, I'm blaming it on language barrier.
