Chapter Seventy-Five: The Super Space Station

Listening to Leng Yun's question, Chen Jie smiled and said, "Leng Yun, although the light pressure of a photon is very small, what if the area of the 'sail' is large enough?" ”

Leng Yun said: "Of course, the power of countless ants is naturally big enough."

Chen Jie nodded and said, "Theoretically, if the diameter of the solar sail is increased to 300 meters, its area will be 70,686 square meters, and the thrust obtained by light pressure will be 0.034 tons. According to theoretical calculations, this reasoning could allow a spacecraft weighing about 0.5 tons to fly to Mars in just over 200 days. If the diameter of the solar sail is increased to 2,000 meters, the 1.5 tons of thrust it gains can send a spacecraft weighing about 5 tons beyond the solar system. ”

Leng Yun said: "However, the weight of our space shuttle is not 5 tons, right?" There will probably be 2,000 tons, right? How big a solar sail does that need?! ”

Chen Jie said: "Area is certainly a factor, but don't ignore the factor of materials, you look at the solar sails of this spaceplane. ”

Leng Yun looked at the solar sail on the space shuttle and found that the "sail" was as thin as a cicada's wings and emitted a faint light, which should be the result of photons constantly colliding with the solar sail.

"Generally speaking, solar sails are made of metal or mylar. But if you look at this solar sail, it seems to be transparent, and the material is definitely different. According to the technology mastered by the Grim Reaper, it should be a new product of some kind of metal that has been modified at the atomic level. ”

Then, Chen Jie pointed to the data on the console and said, "See? Although the speed of the space shuttle is not fast, the shuttle can travel at a speed of 240,000 kilometers per hour with only solar sails. This speed is 4 to 6 times faster than the fastest spacecraft propelled by rockets today, 6 times faster than the second cosmic velocity, and 4 times faster than the third cosmic velocity. ”

Leng Yun was very surprised and said, "It seems that we are going to a far place. ”

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "That's not it, I think, the purpose of Death 7 in developing this solar sail in the first place was to develop a broader universe, right?" But probably for some reason, he abandoned that plan and turned to destroying humanity. ”

As he spoke, Leng Yun found that the spaceships on the radar display screen were slowly gathering together, and Chen Jie said, "It seems that we are going to start converging." ”

Suddenly, the sun sails became very dazzling, and the speed of the spaceship suddenly increased, and Leng Yun even felt the spaceship shake a little.

Then, Leng Yun felt that the speed of the space shuttle seemed to slow down, and Chen Jie said: "I should have made a turn just now, and now it is slowing down." ”

Later, Leng Yun saw in the window of the space shuttle, and there were 7 space shuttles in front of him marching in a column, apparently to line up to enter a certain place.

The space shuttle sailed forward for another while, and Leng Yun suddenly pointed to something in space and said, "Chen Jie, what do you think that is?" ”

Chen Jie looked in the direction that Leng Yun was pointing, and at the end of a column of space shuttles, there was a huge disk-shaped object suspended in space, judging by the size, it was as big as hundreds of space shuttles combined.

After the space shuttle traveled some distance, Leng Yun and Chen Jie finally saw the thing in front of them clearly, and Chen Jie said: "This is a space station, but I have never seen such a large space station!! ”

Leng Yun saw that the disc-shaped space station had many antennas above it, each as thick as a space shuttle tied together.

The space station is still slowly rotating, Chen Jie said: "Look at the feeling of rotation, the space station should completely simulate the gravity of the earth, why do we want to go to this space station?" ”

Leng Yun said: "I think, this is the end of Noah's Ark, right?" Death 7 is going to destroy humanity here, and then let the humans on our shuttle thrive on this space station. ”

Chen Jie shook his head and said: "This is really unimaginable, there are a total of 10 space shuttles, each space shuttle has 20 male and female passengers on it, as well as 2 pilots, I'm afraid there are armed personnel and staff, I am afraid that there will be 500 people in total, and it is impossible for the space station to let so many people live!" ”

Leng Yun said: "Don't forget, the owner of this space station is the Grim Reaper Seven, since he can build a super solar sail, then it is probably not unimaginable to build an eco-level space station, right?" ”

Chen Jie nodded, she glanced at the radar, wondering how far away from the space station was now, but at this time, Chen Jie discovered another incredible thing.

She pointed to the radar and said to Leng Yun: "You, look, on the radar, you can't see this space station!" ”

Leng Yun hurriedly glanced at the radar as well, indeed, there was no image of this space station on the radar at all, but it was obviously in front of Leng Yun and Chen Jie now, and it was definitely not an illusion!!

Leng Yun thought for a while, pointed to the antenna above the space station and said: "Although I don't know much about space technology, but I like the military, I was wondering, could those antennas be anti-radar systems?" ”

Chen Jie immediately nodded and said, "Thinking about it, otherwise there is such a space station the size of a city in space, which would have been discovered a long time ago." ”

Leng Yun smiled helplessly and said: "The city in space, the radar can't monitor it, it sounds like it's either a mirage or a lost world." ”

Chen Jie said: "If that's the case, then people on Earth, I think even other members of the Reaper Society, don't know about the existence of this space station, right?" ”

Leng Yun nodded, and at this time, an order suddenly came from the communication system of the space shuttle: "Please pay attention to the pilots of the Xinsheng, please start the docking procedures, and follow the guidance of the spacecraft navigation to dock at different docks." ”

Chen Jie pressed a button, and then the space shuttle slowly floated towards the space station. After getting closer, Leng Yun could see that the space station had expanded outward by 10 docks, and it looked like an octopus had stretched out a few claws. All of the ships are slowly moving towards the 10 docks, and it seems that they are going to dock at the same time.

Leng Yun saw from a distance that one after another space shuttles and the dock were fitted together, and his own space planes soon vibrated slightly, obviously colliding with something.

"Docked!" Chen Jie said. Leng Yun asked, "What are we going to do next?" ”

Chen Jie said: "Next, let's wait for the order, I'm afraid someone will start the space station's system first......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard another order from the communication equipment: "Please ask the technicians of Xinsheng 6 to operate and start the space station program." ”

At this time, Leng Yun saw that the screen of the space shuttle switched on the display screen, and he saw two people in spacesuits entering the space station.

After entering the space station, he first entered a room, which connected the space shuttle and the space station. Then, the astronaut slowly walked down a passage into the space station.

Leng Yun could see that the astronaut was walking a little unsteadily, and it was obvious that there was no gravity in this space station. I saw this astronaut enter a huge space along the passage, and then he jumped hard and actually flew up!

I saw him "swimming" in one direction in the air like a swimmer. The astronaut's posture in the air is very graceful, and he moves quickly, apparently after a long period of training.

Eventually, he climbed to the top of a platform about three stories high, where there were many computers and monitors, as well as some operating instruments.

Leng Yun was also very nervous, he didn't know what would happen next, looking at Chen Jie's expression, it was the same as Leng Yun.

I saw that the astronaut finally came to a console, pressed a button, and then he kept flipping many buttons, and then entered some commands on the computer keyboard.

Suddenly, the speed of the space station's rotation accelerated, and Chen Jie said: "It seems that the gravity system has been activated, so that when we enter the space station in a while, it will be no different from being on Earth." ”

Later, Leng Yun saw that the space station in the monitor became brightly lit, and it was clear that the lighting system and energy system were all activated.

At this time, another astronaut who entered the space station with the astronaut gently pulled a lever at the door, and then about 5 minutes later, I saw the astronaut slowly take off the helmet on the spacesuit.

I saw that his expression was relaxed and he said, "I can breathe!! Another astronaut also took off his helmet, took a deep breath, and said with a very happy expression: "The gravity system is activated normally, the life support system is activated normally, and everyone can enter the space station!! ”

Although the sound insulation of the space shuttle was very good, Leng Yun still heard the sound of celebration in the cabin behind him, Leng Yun looked at the monitor in the cabin, and saw that the 20 men and women were all very excited.

At this time, Leng Yun suddenly saw some clues, and said to Chen Jie: "I always thought that these people looked familiar, but now I think I remember the way they move, do you think they are those astronauts who were trained in Moskov Manor?" ”

When Chen Jie heard this, she looked carefully, nodded and said, "It seems to be them!" ”

Subsequently, the two saw that the people in the cabins of other space shuttles began to enter the space station one after another, and saw many familiar faces from the surveillance screen, which were indeed people trained in the Moskov Manor!

At this moment, the communication system sent an order: "Xinsheng 8 can start entering the space station, welcome to our new world, start a new life!" ”

Leng Yun opened the cabin door, saw that the people in the cabin had left, and a new order came from the communication system: "Please pilot enter the space station!" ”

Leng Yun and Chen Jie looked at each other, obviously it was better to wear a helmet again, it happened that there were two hats with brims in the cockpit, and the two of them wore them on their heads, covered their faces, and entered the space station.
