Chapter 503: First Trial Voyage
In May 2019, a new department called the "Spaceship Internal Safety Administration" was quietly established.
On the first day of its establishment, an internal rectification document on the factory and research institutions was issued.
First: Any items that can be moved freely in the spacecraft must be locked with a concealed button opened on the deck. Some lightweight tools that must be moved must be placed in a fixed storage box at any time after use.
Second: Flexible packaging is required for the interior walls of the factory.
Third: For some vibration-sensitive equipment, evaluate its stability and danger.
Fourth: All factories and institutions must strictly abide by the government's safety production regulations and shall not violate them arbitrarily.
...
The following month, the "Spaceship Internal Safety Administration" almost moved in full swing and began to carefully inspect the rectification of major factories and institutions one by one.
Next, this rectification trend moved to the community, and even went deep into every household.
The atmosphere inside the spacecraft became more and more solid, and some sensitive people had already vaguely predicted something.
On the last day of May, all factories and research institutes, and even most government personnel were on holiday, and everyone began to know that the behemoth under their feet was about to undergo its first trial voyage.
The uneasy atmosphere enveloped the entire society. Perhaps because I had lived for a long time, people soon forgot that there was not a land under my feet, but a huge spaceship. Humans were definitely not really peaceful, and humans were about to flee soon.
...
The next morning, the originally noisy residential area became extremely quiet, and the streets were also empty.
"Dear residents, the spacecraft is about to conduct its first trial sail. Please bind safety devices and do not move around at will... This trial sail starts at 8:30 and lasts for five hours and ends at 1:30 in the afternoon. For detailed information, please check the news network." At 8:00 in the morning, a gentle electronic sound rang over the residential area.
Listening to the warning of the upcoming trial voyage, Cui Weichuan took a deep breath.
The family of three had already tied up a safety device early. The daughter next to her had her nervous little face turned pale. She asked frankly, "Dad, will we be fine, right?"
Cui Weichuan quickly squeezed out a stiff smile and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't worry, do you know that small spaceship?"
"Which ship we are here to sit on?" the daughter replied with a look of fear.
"Yes, you only sat on that ship once, but Dad has sat on it several times, and never had any trouble. It feels comfortable to sit on it, and there is no bumpy feeling. I don't feel anything. Suddenly, the earth arrived. Our spaceship is more advanced than the smaller one, and there will be absolutely no trouble. Just give me a lot of thought.
Actually, if you want to say that this time, there are really some big questions. This kind of spacecraft will definitely fly more steadily, and I guess there will be no bumps!"
"This is for safety. Didn't you wear a seat belt when driving?" My daughter smiled crisply, and her expression became much more relaxed.
Cui Weichuan comforted the younger ones and began to care about the older ones again.
"This safety device has no effect on your belly, right?" Cui Weichuan looked at his wife's big belly and said worriedly. Although he was not willing to let his wife use new technology to get pregnant at that time, after all, this kind of child with genetic modification is still unknown. If he doesn't have any similarity in his life and is rumored, he is really disgusted. However, when he saw his wife being possessed, he finally chose to agree.
Now his wife is nearly nine months pregnant and is about to enter the period of delivery. Who knows that this trial voyage will be today, and it will be better if it goes on for a month.
"This is used by pregnant women, it won't be a problem!" The wife touched her stomach nervously and comforted her.
Cui Weichuan looked at the bloated safety device, which looked like a spacesuit, and breathed a sigh of relief. It has to be said that the government attached great importance to these pregnant women. After getting pregnant, not only did they provide free meat every day, but the safety device was also replaced with a special pregnancy for a few days before the trial.
At this time, the wife suddenly frowned slightly, covered her stomach, and looked in pain.
"What's wrong?" Cui Weichuan felt nervous when he saw it, and he asked quickly: "Are you going to give birth?"
"No, the baby is kicking me again!" The wife relaxed for a moment, exhaled, and said coquettishly: "He is so strong, his stomach is almost kicked out. He will definitely be a naughty ghost in the future."
Of course, it is so powerful that if these new humans were placed before the end of the world, each of them was superhuman. If the people of today were not of relatively strong quality, it would be really not easy to give birth to them.
Time passed by minute by minute, and with the repeated warnings from the speakers outside, it soon came at half past eight.
Everyone held their breath at this moment.
...
At this time, eight groups of huge engine nozzles with diameters of more than 40 meters distributed on both sides of the stern of the spacecraft began to preheat, and the surging high-temperature flames ejected intermittently. A few seconds later, the spacecraft began to vibrate slightly, and then slowly flew at a snail-like speed.
In a few minutes, the flames transformed into pulsed light flows, like flowing light, making the dark space weird.
The speed of the spacecraft began to accelerate slowly, and the speed gradually increased.
A meteorite flying towards this side at high speed was hit by a high-energy laser emitted from nowhere, and it was instantly hit by a qi-turned-in-the-blink laser.
At this time, the central control cabin of the spacecraft was full.
Not only the spacecraft crew, but also Luo Yuan, all the senior executives gathered together to pay close attention to this trial.
"The spacecraft is continuing to accelerate...1 km/sec!"
“1.1 km/s per second!”
“1.2 km/sec!”
Because it was the first trial voyage, everything was mainly stable, and the spacecraft accelerated quite slowly.
On the giant three-dimensional screen on the five and six sides of the left side of the main console, countless data and calculation formulas are changing rapidly, mostly flashing away. For most ordinary people, just looking at these data can make people dizzy.
It is extremely complicated to drive a spaceship that moves at high speed.
Not only will meteorites be encountered in space at any time, but nearby planets and stars' gravity will also affect the spacecraft's route.
This involves a lot of calculations. The spacecraft needs to calculate the trajectory of each meteorite in advance, and at the same time, the spacecraft's route is constantly corrected. There is no powerful master-controlled intelligent brain that undertakes a lot of calculations. During space navigation, you can only take luck. If you are lucky, you will be safe and have no luck. If you are not lucky, you will be destroyed by the ship and die.
These data are boring and boring. Except for mathematicians who took smart agents to silently check in their minds, few people noticed it.
Most of the high-level leaders' eyes are placed in the virtual real scene in the center.
The virtual real-life picture looks much brighter than the real outside world. You can even see meteorites passing by from a distance, but meteorites are not common. Most of the time, you can only look at the stars in the distance that are more dazzling than those seen on the earth.
During the flight, all operations are basically handed over to the intelligent brain to control. The crew does not need to do additional operations. Unless new instructions are required, they basically only play an auxiliary role. After all, compared with humans, the intelligent brain reacts faster in the face of accidents. It does not reflect arcs, does not require peripheral buttons, and indirect control. As long as the instructions are issued, the various systems of the spacecraft can respond immediately. Everything is only related to its logical computing power. In terms of logical computing power, it is undoubtedly countless times that of humans.
Even Luo Yuan is far from comparable. This is a natural gap. No matter how strong the wisdom of a creature is, it cannot compare computing power with a super quantum computer with 100,000 qubits. Perhaps only a thorough four-dimensional brain can be compared with it.
...
As time goes by, the speed of the spacecraft has gradually approached 100 kilometers per second, and a brown-yellow planet appears in sight. This is the eight planets - Venus, and it is also the direction of this flight.
The reason why we fly toward Venus instead of Mars is because there is a meteorite belt mixed between Earth and Mars, which is complicated by the bad environment. As the first trial voyage, it is undoubtedly the first priority.
At this time, the distance is still far. This planet, which is about the size of the Earth, is like a brown-yellow marble, hanging quietly in the sky.
"Amplify Venus!" Luo Yuan looked for a while before speaking.
"Yes, Captain!" Zhizhu immediately responded to Luo Yuan's order.
The virtual real scene on the central screen was immediately divided into two halves. The orange-yellow planet began to zoom in quickly and quickly occupied half of the screen. However, it continued to zoom in. The three-dimensional screen had a certain sense of immersion, and the high-definition picture made people feel like the body was falling towards this planet.
In just a few seconds, the lens had penetrated into the atmosphere. It was not as quiet and peaceful as it was when viewed from a distance. The surging atmosphere was flowing at high speed, causing a terrifying storm. Compared with the typhoon on Earth, it could only be considered a light breeze and drizzle. Perhaps only after the antimatter bomb destroyed humans, those days would be comparable.
It has to be said that the terrifying detection system on this spacecraft is still enlarged, and soon it has passed through the rich atmosphere and entered the ground.
This is a hell that exudes a breath of destruction. The places where you see are volcanoes and magma. At the same time, the rich acid gas also corrodes thousands of holes and strange rocks.
Most of the people here faced the scene of alien stars for the first time, and they were shocked at this time.
"According to the detection, this is a rocky planet, with a radius: 6051.8 kilometers, gravity: 0.9g... The surface temperature is about 400 degrees, the pressure is ninety times that of the earth, and 97% of the air is carbon dioxide and contains a large amount of water. The transformation value is low. It is recommended to be used as a mining planet."
