Chapter 423: Unexpected Joy
It was the first time for Su Zhe to leave the earth in a spaceship, although he was a little nervous when the spacecraft took off, but more excited and excited.
This spacecraft, named Vostok, belongs directly to the Federal Academy of Sciences, and it is also the most advanced space research spacecraft of Earth civilization. In fact, Su Zhe didn't know that the Dongfang spacecraft was the sister ship of Su Yichen's parents' New Pioneer, which was successfully built two years later than the New Pioneer spacecraft left the earth, but although the core technology of the two spaceships is the same, the overall performance of the spacecraft is still not as good as Su Yichen's New Vanguard, after all, the hull of the New Vanguard, including some key parts, is extremely special, these materials were brought back from the solar system, with the current situation of the earth's civilization, Some materials can only be manufactured by substitution.
But even so, the Vostok spacecraft is also one of the most advanced spaceships of the current earth civilization, it not only has the most complete curvature engine, but also the attack and protection capabilities of the entire spacecraft are not inferior to the main warships of the space fleet, and the degree of resistance to crises it shows in the universe is unparalleled by ordinary warships, which also greatly enhances the safety of important crew members.
After completing the laboratory project on schedule, Su Zhe was transferred to a new position, which was to assist the Space Fleet in assisting the military plans of the Gaia civilization. As a member of this project, Su Zhe is mainly responsible for technical analysis and support, but their entire group includes not only Su Zhe's team, but also scientists from other fields.
The Vostok spacecraft is now on a mission to bring these scientists from Earth to the Oort Nebula, where they will then carry out follow-up work at a temporary forward base set up there, and if necessary, they may also go to the front line, which is the small galaxy where the Gaia civilization is located, but according to the current progress of the plan. It's not very likely.
The Vostok spacecraft took off from Earth and did not immediately enter a curvature flight after leaving low Earth orbit, but continued to sail in normal ordinary flights, because the first stop of the Vostok spacecraft was not the Oort Nebula, let alone the frontier of the space fleet, but Mars.
According to the plan. The Vostok spacecraft will first arrive at the Martian base to replenish some supplies and equipment, and then go to the forward base of the Oort Nebula, and wait for orders to decide whether to immediately go to the temporary forward base outside the Oort Nebula, or stay temporarily.
Although it is a normal ordinary flight state, compared with more than 400 years ago, the technology of the earth civilization has improved a lot, and the distance from the earth to Mars only takes five days, which is unimaginable before the earth civilization has stepped into the ranks of cosmic civilization.
This way of sailing is also an adaptation process for some scientists who have never left the earth, such as Su Zhe. Through the projection screen, looking at the beautiful scene of the mother star close at hand, as well as the endless twinkling starry sky in the depths of the universe, a wonderful feeling arose in Su Zhe's heart, and he looked at these with a fascination, and he was even more emotional.
At this time, Su Zhe recalled the history of human development that he had studied, and the human being, known as the spirit of all things, was born on this living planet. Gradually evolve to become the master of this planet. From the beginning of slash-and-burn farming, to the later progress of civilization. Lived through the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Industrial Revolution and Post-Industrial Revolution .......
After thousands of years of efforts, mankind has finally crossed from the ignorant primitive civilization to the early stage of cosmic civilization, although in this long time, mankind has suffered countless disasters, and even two successive external crises more than 400 years ago almost caused the earth civilization to die out in the universe. But no matter what, humanity relies on its own efforts to get through. became the master of his own destiny. Now, the Gaia civilization, which almost destroyed the Earth civilization twice, is in trouble, and now is the best chance for the Earth civilization, including humanity, to complete its revenge.
"Xiao Su, the universe is fascinating, right?" When Su Zhe was sighing for the splendor of the universe, a voice sounded beside him.
Turn your head to look. The speaker is Professor He Cheng, a biological expert from the Federal Academy of Sciences, Professor He is the oldest of these scientists, of course, his age is much younger than the average age of the current earth civilization, Professor He is 64 years old this year, this age has entered old age in the past, but now he is only young and middle-aged.
Professor He is a mild-mannered-looking man, slightly shorter than Su Zhe, who is the chief researcher of the biological laboratory of the Federal Academy of Sciences, and also holds the title of professor. This time, Professor He is mainly responsible for biological control and genetic engineering, and from this point of view, he is the same as Su Zhe, and he also has a heavy responsibility.
It is only because there are biological scientists involved in the scientific and technological support of the whole project, which is mainly due to the fact that the small galaxy where the Gaia civilization is located is different from the solar system, and the plan of the earth civilization for the Gaia civilization this time is a very huge plan, and it is even possible that the earth civilization will directly replace the Gaia civilization in the future to develop on the other party's home planet.
Earthlings and Gaians, although the difference between these two different civilizations and races was not big before, after all, the two sides were born in two small galaxies. Is the home planet of the Gaians adapted to the survival of earthlings, and is there possible that there are factors that cause changes in the health of earthlings and even genetic changes? Will the Gaians even take some measures before the complete defeat of the military plans when the military plans are unfolded? In this case, a professional team of biological experts is very important, which is also the main work of Professor He Cheng.
"It's fascinating, you feel the insignificance of an individual when you stand on a spaceship and see the universe with your own eyes." Su Zhe nodded and said, although it was the first time for him to leave the earth in a spaceship, he had experienced a virtual simulation when he was on the earth, but no matter how realistic the simulation scene was, it was not as good as the feeling he had personally experienced, which was completely different.
"Yes, individuals are small, especially compared to the universe as a whole." Professor He also sighed, but he also said: "But the civilization composed of individuals is powerful, you see, our home planet and the moon base, as well as the Mars base that is about to arrive, including the Pluto base, the advance base of the Oort Nebula, and even those Earths that have already stepped out of the solar system. These are all steps out of us small human beings. Our predecessors spent several years and thousands of years to finally let us get out of ignorance and step into the ranks of the great cosmic civilization, as our generation is lucky, but also proud, especially now that a new era is about to be opened in our hands, isn't this a more proud? ”
Professor Ho's face was filled with confidence and a smile. His words also infected Su Zhe. Oh, yes! This is a great era, a great age that is as great as the Age of Discovery in previous history. As long as the Gaia civilization's plan succeeds, then the earth civilization will be truly persevering in the ranks of cosmic civilizations, which is not only revenge, but also the first time that the earth civilization has extended its first step to the outer cosmic civilization of the galaxy, maybe in the future, these people will leave their names in history.
After talking about his ideals and looking forward to the future, Professor He chatted with Su Zhe with a pleasant face. Don't look at Professor Ho's main research is in biology. In fact, he has dabbled in a number of other sciences, including astrophysics. Su Zhe had a very good chat with Professor He, they started with ordinary cells, and gradually talked about the formation of the universe, and then talked about the evolution of small galaxies and the birth of life from the formation of the universe. Professor He's profound knowledge and funny personality won Su Zhe's great favor, and gradually they talked about the exploration and cooperation between the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization for several years, but because this cooperation project is also extremely confidential in the Federal Academy of Sciences, they don't know much. But that didn't stop them from taking an interest in the topic.
"In fact, there are a lot of factors in the birth of life, and the environment is different. Even the difference in some small factors is different, and the life that is born is also different. Judging from the current cosmic civilizations in our galaxy, these differences are in some subtle parts, but they are roughly equal, which is a very strange phenomenon, and it is also what our biologists have been studying. I think you might have this problem in astrophysics, right? ”
"It seems to have heard of it, but it's not very clear, and you know that I haven't been in the lab for long, so I'm ......." Su Zhe replied modestly.
"Hehe......." Professor He waved his hand and smiled: "This has nothing to do with the length of time to enter, but only related to the direction of each person's research." Have you always wondered how I, as a biological researcher, could understand those high-end techniques of astrophysics? Actually, the reason for this is very simple. Because I've been thinking about a topic lately, which is astrophysics and biological influences, including evolution. ”
Professor He's words immediately aroused Su Zhe's strong interest, to be honest, Professor He just said that the series of hypotheses put forward are completely valid in theory, but he also mentioned the situation of the various cosmic civilizations in the galaxy, which is also a wonderful phenomenon. And he was even more curious, how could Professor He have such an idea, and immediately couldn't help but ask.
"Actually, I'm not the only one who thinks about this, there is something you may not know ......." Professor He replied naturally, but he paused when he said this, because he suddenly remembered that if he wanted to explain the ins and outs, there would be a secret involved, and this secret came from the Andromeda Galaxy.
Within the Federal Academy of Sciences there is a special ecological equilibrium circle, where there is a very strange animal, this strange animal is bound from the distant Andromeda galaxy. The Federal Academy of Sciences has been studying this animal uninterrupted, and there is a high-level special team that has been going on, and Professor Ho participated in it as an assistant more than ten years ago, when he saw this animal, including some of the animal's unimaginable abilities, the shock that gave him at that time was extremely powerful.
As a biologist, Professor Ho has not been able to understand the cause and environment that led to the birth of such powerful animals (creatures). It's a pity that this reason has not been understood so far, and even the research of the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization on the Andromeda galaxy has not made much progress, as if this strange animal is the only one in the universe, an unimaginable miracle.
Thinking of this, Professor He couldn't help but shake his head, and then diverted the topic. Su Zhe didn't ask, he knew some regulations of the Federal Academy of Sciences, and then continued to talk to Professor He about some other topics, and after chatting for a while, someone came to Professor He, and the conversation between them ended.
Five days is not a long time, especially for Su Zhe, who entered the universe for the first time, it was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, time passed, and their first stop, the Martian base, was also close at hand.
The spacecraft was about to land, and Su Zhe returned to his cabin, lying in a special protective chair and patiently waiting for the landing process until the end.
Since Mars is only half the size of Earth, the atmosphere above it is also very thin, and coupled with the advanced technology of the Vostok spacecraft, the whole landing process was very smooth. Only half an hour later, the electronic prompt sound of Zhi Brain sounded in my ears, and the spacecraft had successfully landed on the Mars base and had entered the airport.
As soon as the safety reminder ended, Su Zhe couldn't wait to get up from the protective chair, he opened the hatch and walked forward quickly, according to the plan, the Dongfang spacecraft would only stay on the Martian base for one day to replenish supplies, and then it would continue to set off the next day.
Of course, Su Zhe has not been to the Mars base, but he has friends here, and his friends are of course Tom and Jamie. Tom, in particular, hadn't seen each other for several years since he entered the military academy, and it was only through correspondence. On the contrary, Jamie has seen it a few times, but after Su Zhe entered the laboratory to work, he was very busy every day, and he no longer had free time to meet these two good friends.
And now, Su Zhe, who happened to be passing by the Martian base and knew that they were here, planned to take this opportunity to meet his good friend, which he had thought about before he set off.
Out of the cabin, Su Zhe walked briskly towards the exit of the spaceship, and at the same time looked at the electronic device on his wrist. He didn't have much time, and he had to get back in time because he had to get back in time to get out of the airport and find someone on the road. Thinking of this, Su Zhe's steps were a little faster.
When he was near the exit, Su Zhe saw several soldiers on the other side of the passage. In addition to these scientists on the Dongfang spacecraft, there are also soldiers, which is a very normal thing, but Su Zhe unexpectedly found that there was a familiar figure on the other side of the passage, he stopped for a while, a little unable to believe his eyes, and after looking at it to make sure that he was not mistaken, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Tom, why are you here?" (To be continued......)
