How to live a long life of several decades? And, still in a tiny spaceship?

In an enclosed space, it can make people feel extremely depressed, and even make people crazy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 For example, in Antarctica, for a few months, it is impossible to move, and the scientific expedition team members have nothing to do, like the scientific research station in the United States, which can use up thousands of sets in a few months.

However, as long as you get into a certain state and find something you love doing.

Those who were able to take on their first mission were carefully selected from all over the world, and they had all tried to spend months in a small room, they had learned to think for themselves, they had learned how to escape the terrible loneliness.

Everyone has something that everyone likes to do, for example, the French astronauts like to study how to make coffee more appropriately, and the Chinese astronauts like to play chess with the computer, and they have their own colorful private lives after completing the assigned work every day.

They can even receive messages from the earth, watch a few TV channels, chat online, and of course, as the distance increases, the network latency will gradually become more serious.

As the commander of the spaceship, Bella is responsible for everything about the ship, and she has a big task.

"Mom, Beta and I are married, and we have made a decision that we will spend time in the moon base in the future." Routinely turning on the screen every day, seeing the images sent from the earth, today, seeing the picture of Dana in the moon base, Bella felt the circles under her eyes moisten.

"I grew up in the base since I was a child, I have been to any place on the earth in the past few years, but in the end, I still feel that it is more appropriate to return to the familiar base, I am used to the moon, on the earth, I will always feel depressed, Mom, how do you feel in space?"

"I've signed up for astronaut training, and I want to be an astronaut too."

Bella finally couldn't help it, and in the circles of her eyes, drops of liquid flowed down, feeling both relieved and proud, as if, this is fate!

"Marshal Bella, we are about to arrive near Mars, and the personnel in the Martian base are greeting us." Communications Officer Chris said.

Now, the development of the moon has entered a critical stage, the lunar base has become a colony of the earth, and at the same time, the exploration of Mars is also steadily unfolding, with nuclear-powered rockets, and it only takes about a month to travel between Mars and the earth.

It's just that the Martian base is small.

"Spirit salutes the Martian base." Connected, Bella shouted, saluting.

"Marshal Bella, I wish you all the best." The commander of the base shouted, "Recently, there have been some unusual gravitational fluctuations nearby, please be careful. ”

"Roger." Bella said: "Gravitational fluctuations? If it's a wormhole, then we can get into it at any time, and maybe the opposite planet is the destination planet we need to reach. ”

Now, the research of the theory of relativity is deepening, and gravitational waves have been confirmed, and the development of aerospace technology in the future still needs the progress of cutting-edge science!

Destination Planet!

With current navigation technology, it can only be observed in galaxies within ten light-years, and among them, Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 light-years away from Earth, is the object of the most attention!

Proxima Centauri is one of the three stars in the triad α Centauri and is the closest star to Earth.

Alpha Centauri consists of three stars, α Centauri A, α Centauri B, and α Centauri C.

Among them, the first two planets are very close together and are a double star system, which was called Nanmen II in ancient China. And α Centauri C, commonly known as Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf.

Because of its proximity to Earth, Proxima Centauri is often mentioned in science fiction movies or science fiction novels, and is often used as an example for interstellar travel.

It's just that due to the factor of great distance, it is quite difficult to observe these planets, the stars are luminous, and it is not easy to observe, and it is even more difficult to observe the planets around it!

In later generations, it was not until 15 years ago that a promising planet of Proxima Centauri was discovered, and this planet called Proxima Centauri B was only 7 million kilometers away from its parent planet, Proxima Centauri. The new planet is only 12% of the distance from Mercury to the Sun, very close to its parent star.

However, since Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star, with a mass of only 0.123 times that of the Sun, a luminosity of only 1.55‰ of the Sun, and a surface temperature of about 2800 K, Proxima Centauri b is still in the "habitable zone" of the parent star, and the surface temperature may be in the range where liquid water can exist.

As long as there is water, there is the possibility of life! And more importantly, the echoes received by the earth are sent from this direction!

So, the target is Proxima B!

"I really want to observe gravitational fluctuations." Chris says that in addition to being a communications officer and an engineer, he's also an astronomer! He is even more convinced of the wormhole theory.

"If there really is a wormhole, then we can consider letting you fly a small flying machine and go see it." "I don't want to lose a good communications officer, but we're here to explore the secrets of deep space," Bella said. ”

This huge Spirit spacecraft also carried two small vehicles when it set off, which was intended to send small vehicles into the atmosphere of the other party to observe after reaching Proxima B, and at the same time, it could also be used as a rainy day during flight.

Like now.

Almost as soon as we talked, the spacecraft had already flown past Mars, on its way to Jupiter, and now, it had accelerated to six percent of the speed of light! Time slows down, distances get shorter, and the relativistic effect can already be felt at this speed!

Chris nodded: "I've been learning to drive on a simulator for the past few days, and I think I can drive better." As Chris spoke, he felt the glass of water in his hand slowly swaying.

What's going on?

Could it be that there is a problem with the rotating mechanism? As an engineer on the ship, he needs to solve mechanical problems, and if he loses artificial gravity, he will have to live forever in the future, and it will be very uncomfortable to live on the fly for decades.

No! Now, the display on the screen means that the rotating mechanism is working normally, and from the porthole on this side, you can also see that everything is normal, so the water cup that has just shaken can only be one reason!

That abnormal gravitational fluctuation has been encountered by your own side!
