Chapter 674: Accelerating to Mars

The pressure gradually decreases.

Breathing gradually returned to normal.

Wang Buyan looked out the window. Nothing. Only very faint starlight.

Obviously, they have successfully crossed the atmosphere and entered real outer space. Since then, the first step of space exploration has begun.

Luo Machuan and the others were excited to loosen their seat belts. They all looked greedily at the scenery outside the window.

Wang Bu'an is not very rare in outer space. But they are very rare.

You know, they've been studying outer space all their lives!

Entering outer space has always been their long-cherished wish.

It's just that due to technical limitations, there has been no way to do it.

I don't know how many aerospace scientists have left this world with great regrets.

Entering outer space, landing on the moon, landing on other planets, I don't know how many people's dreams.

I don't know how many people's dreams are always regrets.

Now, that dream has finally come true.

Moreover, the way is still very special.

Not a space module. It's about the same as a civil airliner.

It's just that the shuttle wasn't partitioned into separate rooms. One room per person.

The simulated gravity in the space shuttle is also similar to that of the Earth, and it does not float people or objects around. It doesn't feel any different from what it is on Earth.

This is very, very important.

Otherwise, sneeze and the splash will fly.

People will float in the air. It is very difficult to make the most ordinary gesture of waving your hand.

Because the reaction force of waving your hand will make your body involuntarily retreat.

If you want to excrete, it's even more troublesome.

Even a eye will fly everywhere.

Now, there's no need to worry about that at all.

Just think of it as if it were on Earth.

"What's the current speed?"

"11,408 meters per second. ”

"So fast. ”

"We are accelerating. ”

"Good. ”

Wang Buan asked a few words briefly.

11 kilometers per second is definitely not the limit of a nuclear fusion engine!

You know, it's 10 million kilowatts, it's almost the largest hydropower station on the planet.

Using it to drive a small space shuttle is actually overkill.

Even if it's used to power a starship, it's no problem.

However, if you wait until the starship comes out, it will be at least 100 million K-class nuclear fusion.

100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity bursts out every hour, and I ask you if you are afraid.

One such nuclear fusion reactor can meet the electricity consumption of the entire Guangdong province, and there is still room for it.

However, no matter how fast the shuttle is, it feels as if it is stationary.

No way, the velocity is relative to the reference.

Now there is no reference.

All the references are very small.

Only the Earth is slowly getting smaller and smaller. Indicates that it is moving away from the earth.

"Coyote received please answer. ”

"Coyote received please answer. ”

"The she-wolf called out to the coyote. The she-wolf calls for a coyote. ”

Signals from the satellite launch base were transmitted from the communicator.

For the time being, the signal is very clear. There are no problems with the transmission of sound and images.

All the data of the space shuttle can be obtained instantly on the ground.

Coyote is the code name of the space shuttle that Wang Buan took.

The other one is called the Bald-tailed Wolf.

It fully embodies the traditional style of being cheap and easy to feed.

What do you say Chang'e, what Heavenly Palace, what Jade Emperor, what Queen Mother, they are all too tall and noble, and I am worried that I can't afford it.

"Coyote received. Please speak. ”

"After 17 minutes, increase your speed to 21 kilometers per second. ”

"Coyote understands. ”

"Over. ”

"Over. ”

The space shuttle is picking up speed.

The engine was barely moving. I don't feel it at all.

The main reason is that there is no air in outer space, and it is difficult for sound to travel.

In addition, it is true that it is silent. It's pure nuclear fusion. This process is completely sound-free.

Does the sun have a sound?

Of course not.

If you don't look at the gauges, you can barely feel the shuttle moving.

The shuttle itself is also free of any jitter. It felt like something had been pinned to outer space.

Wang Buan touched his nose and fell asleep.

The long interstellar journey begins, and it feels so boring.

Originally, they were good at playing cards, but when they got to outer space, they didn't want to play again.

Empty outer space, what's there to see?

It's nothing more than a couple of things.

Stars that glow.

Planets that don't glow.

There are also moons that are not even planets.

Smaller ones are meteorites......

Sleep in a daze.

Woke up in a daze.

Nothing unusual was found. So I went back to sleep.

It wasn't until I was hungry that I got up and went to get some food for myself.

On the space shuttle, of course, there is no kitchen or anything like that. There are also no tools to heat food. The main concern is that there will be an accident with the heating device.

All prepared is cold food. Mainly all kinds of breads, cakes, desserts, snacks and the like.

It feels like it's sponsored by Tex and a lot of Tex products.

There are also Want Want snow cakes, Shuanghui ham sausages......

Well, it's just a big party of snacks.

It is estimated that the future moon landing program must be very popular with girls.

"Chief Engineer Wang!"

"Chief Engineer Wang!"

Suddenly, the astronaut whispered.

The astronaut who took the lead, named He Chenghua, was a very handsome young man.

He got married early and had children early, and he was relatively young among astronauts. However, he also has a lot of flying experience. is Yang Liwei's younger brother.

"What's wrong?"

"Come and see. The radar received an unknown signal. ”

"Really?"

Wang Buan walked over lazily.

Sure enough, the long-range radar received a lot of snowflake-like signals.

The radar shows that the distance is about 1500 kilometers. However, with the naked eye, there is nothing in the distance.

"Meteorite rain. Wang Buan said with a yawn.

"Why can't you see it with the naked eye?" He Chenghua was a little puzzled.

"It's too far. ”

"Are meteorites all small?"

"It's on our way. Be careful. Get around when necessary. ”

"Okay. ”

He Chenghua and the others were very nervous and very excited.

After all, they have now created the history of human spaceflight.

The last record was fifty years ago, when Armstrong landed on the moon.

Now, it's the turn of astronauts from China to land on Mars......

The matter is a secret, though. It will not be announced to the public for the time being. Only when it succeeds in the end will the world be declared.

Mars and the Moon are two completely different concepts.

The Moon is just a satellite of the Earth.

However, Mars and Earth are juxtaposed.

In addition, the distance between Mars and the Earth is also very far away.

The two tracks, the closest are also 55 million kilometers. At its farthest, it was almost 400 million kilometers.

Right now, it's the closest time the Earth and Mars orbit each other, about 56 million kilometers apart. The distance between the two is constantly changing. There is no fixed value.

The current rate, of course, is not the highest. Next, we need to keep speeding up.

However, this acceleration is carried out in stages.

Because the time was so short, the shuttle did not have time to do experiments.

If the distance is suddenly increased to more than 100 kilometers per second, I am worried that the space shuttle will not be able to stand it.

You say 1500 km is not far away?

If it is on Earth, it must be far away.

Even by plane, it takes more than an hour.

However, in outer space, 1,500 kilometers, it is really very close.

The current speed of the shuttle is 21 kilometers per second. It only takes more than a minute to cover 1,500 kilometers.

In fact, after about 30 seconds, He Chenghua got the answer.

Very fine meteorite rain indeed.

According to conservative estimates, the largest meteorite is the size of a grinding disc.

A meteorite of this size has no effect on the Earth at all. Because when it enters the atmosphere, it will be rubbed into a fire, and then it will burn out.

Even if there is an occasional core that is not burned, there is no threat to the earth.

Of course, smashing a house, or smashing someone or something doesn't count.

This odds are much lower than the odds of winning 5 million in a lottery ticket.

The problem is that the meteorite rain happened to be on the way of the space shuttle. Face-to-face. There was no deviation at all.

He Chenghua turned decisively.

The shuttle flashed past the left side of the meteorite shower.

Through the glass window, you can clearly see that these small meteorites, like dense ant colonies, make people have a dense phobia.

They don't know how they came about. I don't know where it will end up disappearing.

Along the way, they may have crashed into a planet.

If it didn't hit it, it might be sucked away by the sun and burned out.

It is also possible to aimlessly float in the vast universe until the universe is destroyed...... That's all calculated in billions of years, tens of billions of years.

"Coyote, coyote. ”

"The she-wolf called out to the coyote. ”

"You'll pick up speed again in fifteen minutes. ”

"Please increase your speed to 31 kilometers per second on time. ”

"Coyote received. Complete. ”

"Over. ”

The second speed order came soon.

After more than ten hours of running-in, after confirming that there is no problem with the space shuttle, it will begin to continue to speed up.

The ultimate goal is to increase the speed to more than 100 kilometers per second.

Only by exceeding this speed can you quickly get closer to Mars.

You know, the mission is to go over the back side of Mars and "push" the meteorite from behind.

If you can't get there in time, it will become a frontal hard carry.

Obviously, there is no use in carrying it head-on.

The closest distance between Earth and Mars is about 55 million kilometers.

At a speed of 100 kilometers per second, it takes 152 hours. That's seven days.

However, if the speed is increased, the seven-day time can actually be shortened. This is called "maneuver time".

How much it can be shortened depends on the final speed.

Speed!

31 kilometers per second......

Speed!

41 km/s......

Speed!

51 kilometers per second......

Speed......
