Chapter 21: Spaceships
Lu Ze immediately thought of the melody He Ruiyin hummed when he took the space elevator before, and at that time he thought it was just He Ruiyin passing the time, but he didn't expect a new song to be conceived and completed at that time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for He Ruiyin's idea, Lu Ze also guessed it, that is, to take human civilization into the space age as the last movement of the "Civilization" suite.
But as He Ruiyin said, this kind of thinking is too biased and cannot represent the entire human civilization today.
And although the current development of human beings in space is still in its infancy, as long as the technology does not undergo qualitative changes, many things that can be done are predictable, even if the construction of Dyson Cloud is based on realistic considerations as Lan Ye said.
In such a situation, the creation of the last movement of the "Civilization" suite on this theme cannot leave people with endless imagination.
So He Ruiyin himself felt that it was inappropriate.
Tianhuo asked He Ruiyin, "What about you?" Did you come to space to find inspiration? ”
He Ruiyin first shook his head, then nodded again, and then said, "I'm here to see the concert." ”
This time, she didn't say anything like running away from marriage, in fact, if Lu Ze hadn't asked her first, she wouldn't have said anything. Although He Ruiyin is simple-minded, it doesn't mean that she is stupid.
"Concert?" Lu Ze was surprised, it was hard to imagine that any concert would be watched in space.
"Are you talking about Lan Yue's concert tomorrow on the Starlight Stage of 'Heavenly Palace'?" Tianhuo asked.
Who is Arashiki?
I don't know why, after hearing the name Lan Yue, Lu Ze faintly felt a sense of familiarity.
Out of curiosity, Lu Ze immediately inquired about Lan Yue's information through the Star Spirit Network, and the image of a purple-haired beauty appeared in his mind.
"That's right, this is the first transcendental concert in human history, it's completely different from those so-called virtual singers, and Arazuki was one of the nine Prometheans before uploading his consciousness, of course I'm going to go and see it live." He Ruiyin said.
After hearing the words Prometheus, Lu Ze immediately reacted, Lan Yue turned out to be Lan Ye's second consciousness!
Oh, my God!
Lan Ye, as one of the three giants of the "Dream Tower", proposed a shocking lighthouse plan at the Star Spirit Network Conference not long ago, which made Lu Ze admire. It didn't take long for him to upload his consciousness, not to mention, but his second consciousness actually ran to be an idol and held a concert, which is too nonsense.
But on second thought, such a freewheeling way of doing things is indeed the style of the "Tower of Dreams".
As for whether Lan Ye will be like what Tianhuo said when other people evaluated Lu Li, the second consciousness is incarnated as a woman, and even a concert, all in order to tell everyone what real gender equality is in this way.
No kidding!
As long as he thought of what Lan Ye said before the Star Spirit Network Conference began, Lu Ze knew that Lan Ye must have wanted to play like this at that time.
Neural upload technology is an unprecedented toy for him.
Thinking of this, Lu Ze said: "Anyway, I'm fine, how can such an interesting thing be missing me?" ”
Tianhuo also smiled and said, "I also planned to go and have a look, since that's the case, then I'll go with you." ”
Lu Ze and He Ruiyin began to taste the specialties from the moon under the introduction of Tianhuo.
Although the red balls I ate just now imitated a little nondescript, they also have a taste that ordinary tofu can't make, even if it can't compare to the taste of "groundbreaking mapo tofu", it is not much better than ordinary mapo tofu.
Then Tianhuo recommended for him a synthetic food that imitated Dongpo meat, this time it simulated the fatty but not greasy taste of Dongpo meat, and the taste was even more unique, which made Lu Ze can't help but have an appetite.
Tianhuo said: "The biggest advantage of synthetic food over traditional food is that it is directly produced from the factory, which can be easily made into various shapes, and the colors are relatively bright and beautiful. ”
Lu Ze couldn't help but say: "According to what you say, isn't it useless except for appearance?" I think it's okay to eat. ”
Tianhuo said: "The first consideration of these synthetic foods is nutrition, followed by taste, and the taste is mostly made by imitating the taste of various famous dishes, although the taste is good, but the production is already a finished product, and it is difficult to carry out secondary processing." You think it's delicious now just because of the freshness, and although there are many types of synthetic foods, there will always be times when you get tired of eating them. On Earth, when we are tired of eating dishes produced by various machines, we can also choose to cook them ourselves, but in space this is not possible. I also had the idea of solving this problem when I came to space this time. ”
Lu Ze didn't speak, just nodded, although Tianhuo has been talking about the shortcomings of synthetic food, but in Lu Ze's opinion, this can't be considered a disadvantage at all, how can there be so many perfect things in the world, and the taste is not bad while ensuring nutrition, which is already remarkable.
Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of this space station, watching the earth spin slowly from afar, and eating synthetic food that looks like a work of art, this feeling is truly unmatched. Lu Ze even wanted to taste these lunar specialties one by one, but unfortunately his stomach couldn't fit it, and in the end he didn't even eat one-tenth of the species, and the rest was only after he arrived in the "Heavenly Palace", anyway, there was a chance to taste it.
It's just that time flies.
Half an hour later, it was time for them to enter the ship.
It's not impossible to stay here a little longer, but then you'll have to wait for the next ship to arrive in 8 hours.
Together, they followed the instructions of the Star Spirit Network to the place where the spaceship docked.
The thought of being able to see the real spaceship up close right away, Lu Ze couldn't help but get excited.
The entire space station is in the shape of a "wheel", and the spacecraft is docked in the hollow place in this "wheel". From where they left the space elevator to the place where the spacecraft docked, they had to turn at a 90° angle, about 600 meters, although the distance was not long, but there was no need to walk over it themselves, there was a conveyor belt between where they left the space elevator and where the spacecraft docked, and they could move quickly as long as they stood on it.
After about 200 meters along the conveyor belt, a huge pillar extending upwards from the ground appeared in front of them.
Although there are no obstacles in this space station, the height of this "wheel" space is only 50 meters, and the radius is 400 meters, so at a glance, the ground is inclined towards the ceiling, and there is no place 600 meters away.
This pillar is actually an elevator that leads directly to the interior of the ship, and the spaceship docks at the top of this pillar.
Once the spacecraft docks with the space station, the entrance to the bottom of the spacecraft is connected to the passage of the pillar, allowing people to get on and off the ship via elevators.
This was unfortunate news for Lu Ze, because then he would not be able to see the appearance of the spaceship from the outside.
There are a total of 6 elevators around the pillar, and the capacity of the elevator is also as large as 50 people, but there is no need to wait in line, and the three of them immediately took the elevator to the interior of the spaceship.
Since this spacecraft is built in the "Tiangong", it only goes back and forth between the "Tiangong" and the geosynchronous orbit, unlike the space elevator, which has to overcome the gravity of the earth and the friction of the atmosphere, so it can be built larger, and the environment inside is more comfortable than the space elevator.
However, correspondingly, although the propellant of the spacecraft can be obtained from the moon, it is not as convenient as on the earth, and the quality of propellant required to make such a large spacecraft go back and forth between the "Tiangong" and the geosynchronous orbit is also a lot, so although the spacecraft is large, it looks empty inside, without too many decorations.
When all the passengers were seated, the spaceship quickly departed.
Like the space elevator, the spacecraft uses laser propulsion technology.
However, instead of a laser emitted from the ground, the spacecraft is powered by a base station on the moon.
Even though the current technology can build fusion reactors on spacecraft, that will only greatly increase the mass of the spacecraft and will not do any real good.
So unless it is a spacecraft that wants to fly to orbit on other planets and will be blocked by those planets, almost all of humanity's current spaceships are powered by lasers emitted by lunar base stations, so that only a small spaceship can reach any corner of the solar system.
Before Lu Ze's hibernation, it was actually a complicated spacecraft for humans to land on the moon, and the spacecraft had to go through orbit changes again and again to enter the lunar orbit, which took a very long time. It's actually also a fuel-saving practice.
And Lu Ze happened to be a moonless night when they went to space, and the moon was on the other side of the earth, and now after turning at a 75° angle, although it is not the best time to go to the moon, it is not much worse.
What's more, even if the direction is opposite at the beginning, it doesn't take more than an hour, as long as it is not blocked by the earth and the laser on the lunar surface cannot be shot, then it is no problem. There is no need to think about the change of orbit at all, just fly directly towards the moon.
The distance from their current position to the "Tiangong" is about 300,000 kilometers, because the propellant is sufficient, so the spacecraft has been accelerating, maintaining an acceleration of about 0.6g, and the speed of the spacecraft will reach 150,000 kilometers per hour after 2 hours, and it is also exactly halfway there, and then after 2 hours of deceleration, it will just reach the "Tiangong".
