Chapter 289: Optical Radiation Accelerates
June 17th.
The Strait Space Base was officially completed and put into use.
In the northwestern part of the Eurasian continent, a large launch vehicle was erected on the launch stand, and although it was already June, the temperature at the launch site was still only about 26 degrees Celsius.
A large crew was busy with the launch, and the Strliberg used a large number of modular parts and the lowest cost materials to build three of them with the best efforts of the HRE Federation.
Vasily Alexander was standing in the building on the side of the launch tower, opposite him 15 robots, and the kind of turnaround man who gave up his human body.
"We don't want war, but we have no other choice, for the sake of the living space of the HRE Federation and the continuation of everyone, everything is left to you."
"Rest assured, Supreme Commander, we will open up a new future for the HRE Federation." The 15 transit passengers shouted in unison.
Vasily opened his hands and shouted: "May the spirit of humanity live forever, and may the glory of the HRE live forever." ”
"May the spirit of humanity live forever, and may the glory of the HRE live forever." The transit people were also shouting.
Vasily saluted the transfer crew, who boarded the Stliberg.
Compared with ordinary human astronauts, the passenger cabin of the transfer person is very simple, except for the cosmic ray barrier layer and the anti-electromagnetic interference layer, the remaining equipment is the cockpit equipment and 5 charging ports.
There is no complex gas circulation system, no strict control of constant temperature and humidity system, no need for drinking water, organic food, etc.
The only extra thing is 30 spare robot bodies that can be replaced in case of a failure in outer space.
The transport compartment of the Treeberg launch vehicle was stuffed with 95 tons of supplies, including a 10-ton supercomputer with Vasily's split artificial intelligence.
In addition, there is a lot of production equipment, which is Vasily's colonization ship that can allow the spaceship to take root on alien planets through supercomputing and analysis, combined with the technology currently possessed by the HRE Federation.
Since the Transit Man is a robot, they do not need a very large number of life support capsules and equipment compared to the fragile old human astronauts, which not only saves the payload of the spacecraft, but also reduces the difficulty of building alien colonies.
Everything is ready to go.
At 12:13 a.m., the Stleeberg launch vehicle ignited and lifted off, and after breaking through the Kármán line, Stleeberg flew to an orbit slightly higher than the International Space Station (ISS) at 530 kilometers above the Blue Star.
While passing through the fuel storage tank that the Soyuz launched in low earth orbit before, it is necessary to quickly refuel.
While waiting for the other two Strliberg, the three Strliberg launch vehicles will form a team and head to the intended destination of the HRE Federation.
Regarding this plan, the HRE Federation said that it was to explore near-Earth asteroids, and the Illuminati and the new humans did not pay much attention to this.
After all, the body of the old human cannot withstand the survival of outer space for a long time, and the Illuminati even knows that there is no life-sustaining equipment for human survival in the life support capsule of the Stleeberg.
The new humans detected that there were no human life forms on the Stiliberg through the Listening Satellite, only some materials and equipment.
Finally on June 26th.
With the completion of the refueling of the third Stleyberg launch vehicle in low-earth orbit, the operation, codenamed "Project Smargel", officially entered the second step of the plan.
Three Spiceberg launch vehicles formed a joint array and flew towards the distant starry sky.
……
Meanwhile.
The construction of the first Huo Quzhi-class space warship was officially completed in low earth orbit, and the new human space force was established.
The second, third, and fourth Huo Quai-class space warships were also quickly built with the commissioning of the Strait Space Base.
……
Moon.
Copernicus crater base.
Powell put down the report, for the new humans and the HRE Federation, the Illuminati has not stopped.
On the one hand, they have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the research and development of gamma-ray resistant materials, and on the other hand, the lunar headquarters has already transferred a lot of personnel and equipment to the Keton Star through the Saturn 8 launch vehicle.
Powell also asked the referee to force the Moon Fleet, laying a large number of space mines in the vicinity of the impact asteroid group.
If the new human's space warship gets close to the asteroid group, immediately detonate these space mines, creating a large area of debris barrier and slowing down the opponent's speed.
In order to increase strategic deterrence, the scale of those impacting asteroid groups has risen from the previous 24 to the current 57, and the Illuminati has pushed asteroids with a diameter of more than 500 meters in the near-earth asteroids.
The tense atmosphere between Blue Star and Moon is becoming more and more solemn.
In this atmosphere, the three Stleeberg launch vehicles of the HRE Federation are also rapidly moving away from the Blue Star.
On the side of the three Stiliberg launch vehicles, there are also three smaller spacecraft.
Moscow Space Command Center.
"This is Moscow, the spacecraft has reached its intended orbit and can deploy its light sails."
After a delay of a few minutes, in the cockpit of the three Stiliberg launch vehicles, Kalinin Orlov, the leader of the Smager team, received a communication from the Moscow Space Command Center.
"Here Smagel Squad, we've received it."
After speaking, Kalinin adjusted the channel of the communicator: "Attention units, according to the original plan. ”
"Roger."
"Flying the light sails is successful."
"A nuclear reaction has been detected."
"Isotope battery start-up."
The tail of the three Stiliberg launch vehicles unfolded a large area of light sails like radar lids, and the radius of the lids reached about 18 meters.
The three small ships that flew together appeared behind the three Spiceberg's baresails.
"Detonate." Kalinin commanded loudly.
"Yes."
Three small spacecraft, about 30 kilometers behind the three Strlibergs, instantly detonated a small hydrogen bomb inside.
In an instant, the tail sails of the three Stleeberg were exposed to powerful light radiation, and the speed of the spacecraft increased again.
Powered by gravitational slingshots, spacecraft engines, and nuclear blast radiation, the Strliberg flew into the distant outer space of the solar system.
At this time, the speed of the Stiliberg has increased to 18 kilometers per second, and their destination is the orbit of Jupiter.
This is despite the fact that July has passed the time period of Jupiter's opposition.
But Jupiter is at its shortest distance of 440 million kilometers from Blue Star, and Jupiter's opposition occurs every 399 days or so, with the last opposition on April 7 this year and the next opposition on May 9 next year.
As a result, there are 312 days before Jupiter's opposition, and Stleyberg's speed is 18 kilometers per second, and it can fly 485222400 kilometers in 312 days, which is just right to reach Jupiter's orbit during Jupiter's opposition if you add in the deceleration phase before approaching Jupiter.
The time and distance are just right, and only by calculating the flight trajectory can we reach the orbit of Jupiter at the shortest distance.
However, the use of nuclear explosion light radiation acceleration is not without cost, and many parts of the spacecraft have been damaged by radiation.
There were even 8 people who had computer problems.
For this situation, the HRE Federation has long been prepared, and the transit people began to repair themselves and their ships.
