Chapter 255: Doubting Life
Long Laotie has already acted.
Could it be that Wei Ming was just watching as a spectator, reduced to a crowd eating melons, or double-clicking 666?
How is this possible!
He is the protagonist who appears last, or the boss who appears last, and no one can steal his limelight and aura.
So shortly after Long Lao Tie set off.
Black Hole Cosmos soon took intensive action as well.
For example, the announcement of the "Mars Migrant Recruitment Plan", the first batch of recruits for 100,000 people, the establishment of a special large-scale training base, all bachelor's degree or above, good physical fitness, single, young people between the ages of 20 and 30, can sign up for the job, will be divided into hundreds of disciplines, participate in three to five years of professional training, the final assessment qualified, there will be the opportunity and qualification to immigrate to Mars.
Since the program was launched separately by the Black Hole Group.
During the training, the salary is generous, and he promises to divide the house and car (of course, the house and car on the other side of Mars) to solve the medical and pension problems, and before immigrating to Mars, he will give a large amount of settling-in allowance to solve all worries.
Therefore, more than one million people came to participate in the application, and after the best of the best were selected, 100,000 people were soon recruited.
Another end of November.
Kunlong Mountain, Pangu Tiangong Base.
The 11-kilometer-long electromagnetic catapult trajectory built in the mountain was electrified to give the first Pioneer an acceleration of more than 20 G's (unmanned), allowing the first Pioneer to carry ten tons of supplies and eject at a terminal velocity close to ten times the speed of sound.
The Pioneer then activated its own power system.
The powerful thrust generated by the N5 all-nitrogen fuel soon allowed Pioneer to reach its first cosmic speed.
After replenishing the Tianhe space station with ten tons of supplies.
The Pioneer still had a small amount of conventional fuel left, allowing it to return to the airfield where it landed on the ground.
The first electromagnetic catapult aerospace aircraft transport mission was a complete success.
The next step will be to carry out manned ejection experiments under an overload of no more than 10G, although the maximum terminal speed is only Mach 6, which will reduce the payload of the Pioneer by 40%, but only for manned, it can send up to 24 astronauts to the sky at one time, which is equivalent to launching eight one-time manned rockets.
This passenger capacity is terrifying.
The cost of a single passenger is reduced to less than one percent of what a traditional rocket carries.
In the future, the middle class wants to go for a ride in space, and the rich go on a day trip to the space station, which will become a reality in front of them.
But......
Whether it is the recruitment and training of Martian immigrants or the success of the first flight of the "Pioneer".
The above is just a small trick, a little pre-dinner dish.
β¦β¦
Nov. 30, 9 p.m.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears.
It is nearly 100 miles east of Hangzhou.
Ten giant container ships, lined up from south to north, stretch for more than 20 nautical miles, but they don't look sparse.
Because these cruise ships are super cruise ships with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons, each of which can load thousands of standard containers and transport more than 100,000 tons of cargo.
But at this moment.
These cruise ships are loaded with another slightly larger container, measuring 15 meters longΓ 5 meters wide Γ 3 meters high.
According to the different weight of the goods in the special containers, each cruise ship can put 300~500 special containers, with a total weight of about 100,000 tons.
Other than that.
The edge of each special container has a buckle device made of special materials, which can be snapped together with adjacent containers, and each edge can be bitten, through the buckle, so that many containers can be combined into a whole, even if it bears millions of tons of tension, the buckle will not crack and damage.
At the top of each container, the last surface layer, a high-strength rope extends out, tied together and bound in a lifting ring at the top.
Immediately before the start of the transport operation.
"Mr. Wei, the first batch of 1 million tons of materials are mainly building materials for building the ecosystem, including high-strength glass, solar power generation film, ultra-aluminum alloy and some tools and equipment, most of which are relatively durable and not easy to damage, plus properly placed, it is no problem to withstand overload above 5G, but it is best not to exceed 10G."
"In addition, the 'Water Drop No. 2' has been upgraded with technology, and has realized the navigation function of accurately displaying the ejection trajectory in the VR helmet, and through our remote assistance, the speed, direction, angle and other information of the drifting materials will be accurately displayed, and you don't need to pay too much attention to the data at that time, as long as the yellow line in front of you becomes a green line, you can release the drag, and the error of the material to the end point will not exceed ten kilometers."
With the help of the navigation system, it is completely fool-proof operation.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Wei Ming put on a VR headset, entered the Water Drop No. 2, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
β¦β¦
9:20 p.m.
Over the fleet of container cruise ships.
Wei Ming manipulated the Water Drop 2 to lower the height, starting from the first cruise ship at the front, and let the super titanium alloy material at the tail of the Water Drop 2 hook to hook the O-ring on a certain container.
Then accelerate sharply upwards and pull hard!
Squeak~
Click!
The sound of all kinds of tooth-like metal grinding and colliding was heard.
The cruise ship's waterline rises at an astonishing rate, like a water scoop in a water tank that stops pressing, stirring up a big wave on the surface of the sea.
The 100,000-ton container assembly slowly rose and broke away from the hull.
Constantly rising.
Keep accelerating!
Click~
Bang bang bang!
At an acceleration of more than 5 G, the container assembly emits a variety of sounds, which is shocking.
The metal cable is stretched straight and even physically stretched, if it were not for the fact that it was above the sea, people would have been worried about the sudden collapse of the cable, whether hundreds of containers would fall down and kill people, smashing hundreds of huge craters.
More than a hundred seconds later.
In space.
Wei Ming adjusted the speed, direction, and angle of the container assembly according to the solid yellow line that appeared in the VR headset, first straightened the yellow line, and then let the speed reach an appropriate range.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the yellow line finally turned into a green line.
Wei Ming decisively let the tail hook unhook, and without looking at the container assembly, he returned straight to Lanxing.
Started the second drag and drop mission.
Then the third trip, the fourth trip......
As the operation became more and more proficient, the average time spent per trip has been reduced from more than 20 minutes to about 10 minutes.
Ten container combinations, million tons of materials were all pulled, and it only took more than two hours, and I got off work before 12 o'clock.
This efficiency made Chen Jian and others, who provided technical support remotely, both ecstatic and horrified.
β¦β¦
A few days later.
In the silence of space.
A rather punk-style spacecraft is heading in a certain direction.
"Fuel Tank No. 9 is damaged for unknown reasons, please discard it immediately, and the fuel redundancy is reduced to 37%." The system prompts.
"What's the bad one?"
On the touch panel, Elon Musk selected the damaged fuel canister, then clicked to release, and said with some irritation.
Today is the twentieth day of the journey to Mars, there is more than half a year left in the journey, and two of the thirty-six fuel tanks have been broken.
There was a bad feeling in his heart.
"Lucas, you say, can we turn around and go back now?"
Elon Musk asked his partner in a whisper.
"Head, the current picture is broadcast live around the world, although there are not many viewers, but you can't show your weak side." Partner Lucas said.
"But the fuel tank was breaking faster than I expected, and I was worried that there wouldn't be enough fuel available." He touched his chin and said.
"Don't worry."
Lucas gave him a reassuring look: "No matter what happens, I'm there for you." β
"Hey, what's that?"
Through the porthole, Elon Musk's eyes suddenly widened, and he saw a square behemoth floating in the cosmic space not far away, and quickly passed by them at a faster speed.
It didn't take long for a second and a third to come...... Count all the way to the tenth and see what it is.
Container!
Hundreds of containers put together.
It's much bigger than the little one they control.
"What's that, alien freight train? Where are they going, and what are the aliens going to do? Or is it ...... I'm hallucinating and having a strange space dream? β
Elon Musk muttered to himself.
The face was dumbfounded.
In my heart, I began to doubt the world and life.
