The Hades spaceship, Raymond. Anthony sat in a room that was almost indistinguishable in structure, décor, and furnishings from his bedroom in Little Rock, and at first glance looked like he was back at home on Earth. But if you look closely, you can see that everything in the house is fixed to the floor, and the large glass wall on the side is just a realistic virtual electronic wall, and the pastoral scenery above is completely simulated with high technology.

It is a very long distance from Earth's near-Earth space orbit to Pluto, and it will take more than a year to fly at the speed of Hades. Anthony specially built such a cabin for himself on the Hades to relieve his homesickness.

"Sir, please get ready, the ship's engines have started to start." In the corner of the electronic wall jumped the figure of Captain Doolittle, who had followed Raymond five minutes earlier. Anthony's command has activated the controlled thermonuclear fusion engine, and the Hades spacecraft is about to leave low-Earth orbit and fly to Pluto as planned.

Raymond has fixed himself in a chair. Anthony nodded slightly, and arrived at Hades on the space shuttle, the influence of acceleration and gravity made him a little tired, so after waiting for Hades, Raymond. Anthony rested for a day, and waited for the ship's doctor to check his physical condition. Anthony gave the start order to Captain Doolittle.

"Thank you very much, Captain, I'm ready." Ramon. Anthony replied with a smile as he looked at the wall, which had become a space scene, with a starry sky and a clearly visible Earth.

The same scene unfolded in front of Doolittle, who was in the Hades control center, similar to the space shuttle cockpit. But the control center, which is much larger than it, is ready to go, and compared to the Russian Star, the number of astronauts on the Hades is much larger, and the entire spacecraft has a total of 18 astronauts. There were 19 people, including Anthony.

Although the crew is more than the Star spacecraft, the Americans have built a small ecological balance circle on the Hades and the large amount of material it carries. It can fully meet the living expenses of the Hades personnel. It is estimated that the material and ecological balance circle of Hades can be used by everyone for more than 5 years without replenishing resources, and from this point of view, the time from Earth to Pluto until landing and return is far more than enough.

"The energy readiness of the engine has reached 80%."

The assistant manipulated the device and reported to Doolittle.

"Check the whole ship again and verify the status of the spare engine." Doolittle methodically gave the order.

"One qiē is normal! Repeat! One qiē is normal! ”

The astronauts at the center were working nervously and excitedly. The Hades spacecraft was humanity's first controlled thermonuclear fusion spacecraft (Russia's Starry Sky was built later than Hades) on this spacecraft. Using a large number of the most advanced technologies on earth, it can be said that it represents the most cutting-edge technology of mankind at present, which is the pride of the United States, and it is the pride of all of them. And now, a moment is coming to make human history, and when they return, they will all be human heroes.

"The engine energy is ready."

The assistant reported.

Doolittle nodded and said to Hull, who was already ready next to him, "Count 90 seconds." Get ready. ”

"OK, ready in 90 seconds." Compared with Doolittle with a stern expression. Hull still had the same nonchalant attitude, but his hands were not idle, and he quickly completed the final preparations before take-off at the same time as Doolittle gave the order.

"Captain, the Russians have moved!"

"Enlarge the image!"

As for the Russian Star, the Hades has never neglected surveillance, just as Ivan has been closely watching the Hades' every move. Doolittle, the captain of the Hades, also kept a close eye on the Starry Sky spacecraft.

The image in space was quickly zoomed in, and the Starry spacecraft appeared in the corner of the monitor, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly when he saw that Doolittle knew that the Russians had also activated their controlled thermonuclear fusion engine.

"Captain......."

"Leave the Russians alone. Continue monitoring. Doolittle replied lightly, knowing what his men were worried about, but compared to the Russian Star, Doolittle was confident in the Hades.

The 90-second countdown time passed in a flash, and when the time reached zero, the entire Hades spacecraft shook slightly, and the tail of the spacecraft did not produce fireworks like rocket propulsion, but there was a condensed air flow appeared, you must know that it is basically a vacuum state in space, and the air flow similar to the earth cannot be a real air flow, and the real situation is indeed the case, which is a special scene caused by the energy injection of energy into the surrounding vacuum space after the controlled thermonuclear fusion engine is started.

Hades began to slowly leave the orbital position, its slowness is actually relative, its speed does not seem to be fast from space, and the relatively large hull is still a little clumsy, but whether it is the internal display speed of the Hades or the monitoring number on the Russian Star spacecraft, at this moment, his speed has reached the first cosmic speed in a very short time, that is, close to 7.9 kilometers per second.

"The ecological balance circle is normal."

"Gravity is normal!"

"The occupants are adapting normally!"

"The ship's main engine is normal!"

"Air circulation is normal!"

"The host system is ...... normally."

With the start of the acceleration of the Hades, a series of feedback information inside the spacecraft arrived at the captain Doolittle in time, and Doolittle issued an order to continue to accelerate and disengage at this time, and the energy output of the huge Hades's controllable thermonuclear fusion engine gradually increased, and after five minutes, the speed exceeded 10.9 kilometers per second, which was close to the second cosmic speed.

According to the minimum speed that is completely out of the earth's gravity, that is, the third cosmic velocity, also known as the escape velocity, and only when this speed can it really get rid of the earth's gravity and travel in space, of course, this speed is not eternal, according to the v3 value calculated when the spacecraft's orbital speed is consistent with the direction of the earth's rpm speed; If the direction is not the same, the required velocity will be greater than that. In the past, it was difficult to achieve this speed, but with the continuous progress of human technology, it is no longer a problem, not to mention the current Hades spacecraft's controllable thermonuclear fusion engine design capabilities, it is almost easy to meet this speed.

Hades continued to accelerate, reaching the third cosmic velocity ten minutes later, and began to completely break free from Earth's gravity and fly into space. At this time, the controllable thermonuclear fusion engine of the Starry Sky spacecraft, which was getting farther and farther away from Hades, had also begun to start, and the huge Starry Sky slowly adjusted its position in space, and then accelerated under Ivan's order to catch up with Hades. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm going out today on Saturday, so the second watch will be released in advance, thank you for your support and encouragement, and continue to ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a referral ticket!
