Chapter Seventy-Four: Flying in Space

Suddenly, Leng Yun only felt the space shuttle tremble slightly, and Chen Jie said: "It seems that we have detached from a fuel tank, and next, we are going to go on a space journey!" ”

Although he couldn't see it, Leng Yun could feel that the direction of the spacecraft was slowly changing, and he didn't have the overweight feeling of acceleration just now.

Chen Jie pointed to the radar chart on the spacecraft and said, "Do you see this space shuttle?" This is the Freshman 6 that the Reaper VII is riding. ”

Leng Yun saw Chen Jie pressing some buttons very easily, and Leng Yun asked, "It turns out that you really know how to fly a space shuttle!" ”

Chen Jie said: "Even if it's just a little bit, I don't like my attitude when you doubt me, I said, I was an astronaut, I once went to space to deal with a satellite of Death VII." ”

Leng Yun asked, "Why does Kingsman always fight against Death Seven?" ”

Chen Jie said: "Alas, how to say it, in fact, it can be regarded as bullying the soft and afraid of the hard." In Europe, of course, we can't deal with Death Five. But Death 5 and Death 7 have always been at odds, because although the European Space Agency is in Europe, it is controlled by Death 7, and Death 5 always feels that it is being monitored. ”

Leng Yun nodded and said, "In other words, you are taking advantage of the contradiction between Death Five and Death Seven, right?" ”

Chen Jie nodded, shook his head again and said, "That's a nice way to put it, in fact, we are often the thugs of Death No. 5 against Reaper No. 7." ”

Although there is dissatisfaction in the tone, it also contains a lot of helplessness. Leng Yun understood this feeling, because he often used this method when he was fighting against the Death Society.

The space shuttle was sailing in orbit relatively close to the earth, Chen Jie pressed a button, and the space shuttle appeared with a window that could see the outside.

For the first time in his life, Leng Yun saw the earth outside of the earth, and although he had seen such a scene on TV, he was still shocked to see it with his own eyes.

Chen Jie saw Leng Yun's eyes and said, "You feel shocked, right?" In fact, we are still very close to the earth, but you can still feel that the earth is actually a very small place. And the human beings who live on it, aren't they even smaller? ”

Leng Yun smiled and said, "What's wrong with being small? Isn't such a small but beautiful world worth cherishing? My ideals are also very small, I just want to live my life in peace. But sometimes, the simpler the thing, the more complicated it is to implement. ”

Listening to Leng Yun's words, Chen Jie fell into deep thought, in the quiet universe, everything was so quiet, this feeling made Leng Yun a little uncomfortable, at this moment Chen Jie stopped talking again, Leng Yun felt a little uncomfortable.

So, in order to break the silence, Leng Yun said, "What about the other spaceships? The ships that took off before us flew there, have they already reached the base camp? ”

Chen Jie was also very curious, and said, "Then let's take a look." As she spoke, Chen Jie pressed a button. Subsequently, a large number of points of light were displayed on the radar, and these optoelectronic lights flew in a parallel state, at a great distance from each other.

Chen Jie said: "See? Now all the shuttles are in parallel orbits, and according to the coordinates, we are all moving towards the same target. In other words, we're now on our way to the rendezvous point with the rest of the shuttles. ”

Leng Yun nodded and looked out the window. Although he couldn't see the other shuttles at all, because the distance was really far. However, if you look at these ships on the scale of space, the distance between them is really nothing.

After Leng Yun's spaceship, two more space shuttles flew over, and they were also flying in a fixed orbit, the same destination as the spacecraft Leng Yun was riding.

With a "click", Leng Yun felt that the seat belt tied to his body was loosened a little, and Chen Jie said: "Now that the space shuttle has turned off, we are just taxiing according to the predetermined track, so you can unbuckle the seat belt." ”

Firmly fastened to the seat by the seat belt, Leng Yun felt very depressed, and he was very happy to hear that he could untie the seat belt, but he didn't see Chen Jie's bad smile that disappeared immediately.

As soon as Leng Yun unbuckled his seat belt, he felt that his body was completely disobedient and floated, and then he crashed into the top of the space shuttle.

"Hehehe~" Chen Jie's lovely laughter came, and she said: "Leng Yun, don't you know that there is such a thing as weightlessness in space?" ”

Leng Yun then remembered that there is no gravity in space, although he was tricked by Chen Jie, Leng Yun's energy was quickly attracted by the phenomenon of weightlessness.

Although the space is small, being able to float like this really makes Leng Yun feel very novel. And Chen Jie had been looking at the various buttons on the console, and at this time, a button flashed, and Leng Yun saw that the button said "Fuel canister." ”

Chen Jie decisively pressed the button, and Leng Yun asked, "What's going on?" ”

Chen Jie said: "This is the last fuel tank on the space shuttle, I just pressed that button to throw it away, it looks like we are going to make orbit adjustments again." ”

It was indeed what Chen Jie said, Leng Yun felt that the entire space shuttle was flipping, and Leng Yun was also flipped up in the space capsule because he was not bound by a seat belt, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

And Chen Jie looked at Leng Yun with a wicked smile and said, "How do you feel?" Know the hardships of astronauts? ”

Leng Yun exhaled and said, "Chen Jie, you shouldn't retaliate against me because I didn't believe that you were a pilot before, right?" You're too cautious, aren't you? ”

Chen Jie glared at Leng Yun and said, "I'm a woman, don't offend women!" ”

Listening to Chen Jie's words, Leng Yun stuck out his tongue. It's just such a bickering, which makes Leng Yun's mood relax a lot.

After a lot of effort, Leng Yun finally returned to his seat and tightened his seat belt again. Looking at Leng Yun's stupid appearance, Chen Jie couldn't help but laugh again.

After Leng Yun sat down, he wanted to change the topic and said, "I remember that there are passengers on every space shuttle, right?" I don't know who they are? It must be some powerful people on Earth, right? ”

Chen Jie pressed a button and said, "Let's see."

A monitor on the console on the space shuttle lights up, and the picture shows the scene in the passenger cabin. Through the camera, Leng Yun saw that the "passengers" in the cockpit didn't even know any of them.

These people are neither officials nor rich people, but young people who are clean and clear. These young men were both male and female, and each of them was very beautiful. And if you look closely, it seems that there are blacks, whites, and yellows.

Leng Yun asked Chen Jie, "Do you know these people?" ”

Chen Jie looked at the monitoring screen and said, "Some of them are very familiar, as if they have seen them there, and Leng Yun, don't you think it's strange?" There are a total of 20 people in the cabin, 10 men and 10 women, have you noticed? ”

Leng Yun said: "Of course I found out, but is there anything abnormal about this?" ”

Chen Jie said: "Animals walk in pairs......"

Leng Yun said suspiciously, "What are you talking about?" ”

Chen Jie said: "Leng Yun, you don't believe in Catholicism, of course you don't understand what I'm talking about, but there is a word you must know what it means - Noah's Ark!" ”

Naturally, this cold cloud knew that the story of Noah's Ark was about Jehovah, the creator of the world, who saw that the earth was full of corruption, violence, and lawlessness, and planned to destroy the wicked with a flood.

But he discovers that there is a good man named Noah among the human race. God then instructed Noah to build a great ship that would be built so that Noah, his family, and the various land creatures of the world could escape the Great Flood.

Thinking of this story, Leng Yun said: "Could it be that our space shuttles are the 'Noah's Ark' built by the Grim Reaper 7?" ”

Chen Jie showed a mocking look and said: "Death No. 7 is also commendable, at least he doesn't regard himself as a god, but only as Noah. ”

Leng Yun said in surprise: "Are you saying that the Grim Reaper Seven has been instructed by aliens to destroy mankind?" ”

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to say this, but it seems that it is true that he wants to destroy all human beings." ”

Leng Yun looked at the intimate appearance of a pair of men and women in the cabin, and thought to himself: "Could it be that the Reaper Seven wants these men and women to reproduce in space?" ”

At this moment, Leng Yun saw a dazzling light, and it turned out to be the sun. The orbit of the previous flight has been on the other side of the earth, and the sun is blocked by the earth, but at this moment, the spacecraft flies over the horizon, and cold clouds see the sun in space.

Chen Jie pointed to the monitoring screen and said, "Do you see it?" The solar panels have been unfolded. ”

Leng Yun looked at the screen and found that these solar panels were not like the solar panels of solar water heaters on the earth, but extremely thin and huge, to put it more figuratively, more like the sails of a sailboat.

Chen Jie said: "This is probably the sun sail, right?" I didn't expect Death VII to have made such a practical product. ”

Leng Yun asked, "What is a solar sail?" ”

Chen Jie said: "The solar sail is a kind of spacecraft that uses the light pressure of sunlight for space navigation. I didn't expect Reaper VII to be able to equip solar sails to the space shuttle. ”

Leng Yun was very confused, and he asked, "Light pressure?" Is there still pressure on the light? ”

"Light is made up of photons that have no static mass but momentum, and when they hit a smooth plane, they can change the direction of motion like a ping-pong ball bouncing off the wall, and give the corresponding force to the impacting object," Chen said. The thrust produced by a single photon is extremely small, and at the distance from the Earth to the Sun, the thrust generated by light on a square meter of sail is only 0.9 dynes, which is less than the weight of an ant. ”

Leng Yun was a little surprised and said, "Is it possible to make the space shuttle fly just by relying on the force of the weight of the ant?" ”
