Chapter 391, Circumsolar System Expedition
The Dragon's Nest Space Factory, the huge 'Kuafu' spaceship, the hatch is open, and the mechanical arms are constantly busy, resupplying the spacecraft, and soon, it will set off for a scientific expedition to the entire solar system.
"Headmaster~"
In the 'Kuafu' spaceship, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin, who graduated from the first phase of the Galaxy University of Science and Technology's major in cosmic astronomical science, saw Qin Yi coming over, and they also hurriedly said respectfully.
The two of them will also follow the Kuafu spacecraft to investigate the solar system this time, which is a very rare opportunity, and many scientists at home and abroad called Qin Yi when they learned that the Kuafu spacecraft was going to conduct a scientific expedition around the solar system, hoping to follow along.
But this Kuafu spacecraft cost Qin Yi's own money, so naturally it is impossible to cheapen outsiders, so Qin Yi only invited scientists from the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, plus scientists from the Galaxy Academy of Sciences, to form a scientific expedition team of more than 300 people.
"Long Zhankong, Huang Zhibin~"
Qin Yi smiled and shook hands with the two, and immediately pronounced their names.
Galaxy University is getting bigger and bigger now, and Qin Yi may not be able to remember these new faces, but there are only 505 students in the first phase, and Qin Yi has written down every one of them and knows them.
"Sailing in space for a long time, you must remember to exercise, don't be afraid of tiredness, don't be afraid of hardship, it's all for yourself, if you want to be able to jump alive in the future, you must remember my words."
Then, Qin Yi couldn't help but tell him again that Qin Yi was still very concerned about his students.
"Don't worry, Headmaster, we'll be working hard."
The two replied in unison.
"Hmm~"
Qin Yi nodded, and continued to patrol the Kuafu spaceship.
Soon, Qin Yi came to the piloting control center of the Kuafu spaceship, the captain of the Kuafu spacecraft this time was Liao Fanghong, Liao Fanghong had the experience of going to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids twice, and at present, he can be regarded as an old captain with rich experience.
"Boss~"
Seeing Qin Yi coming, Liao Fanghong also hurriedly said.
"How's the preparation going?"
Qin Yi nodded, looking at the void outside, the location of the driving control center was very good, the field of vision was extremely wide, in the dark void outside, the stars were dotted, very charming, and it made people have a kind of fear, a fear of being swallowed by darkness, a fear of the unknown world.
"All the preparations are in place, and we can go as soon as the supplies are ready."
Liao Fanghong is very familiar with all the situations of the Kuafu spacecraft, and even this time he visited all the crew members of the ship in person, and he knew everyone on the ship, and he also knew everyone's ability.
This voyage was unlike anything before, this time it was a long, long road, to many, many places that no one had yet reached.
Although the Kwafu spacecraft is very powerful and is the crystallization of current human technology, no one knows what will happen in the future, so it is also necessary to understand the capabilities of each crew member.
If the ship breaks down, or if something happens, he knows who to use to fix it, and who to listen to.
As for the preparation of the spaceship, this is also arranged by him, and he is well aware of the progress.
"Safety first, this time there are more than 300 people on the spacecraft, each of them is a national treasure-level talent, and there must be no mistakes."
Qin Yi nodded, and thought about his solemn explanation to Liao Fanghong.
The more than 300 people on board are all elite scientists drawn from the Galaxy Scientist Research Institute and the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, and because they have been in the solar system for a long time, all of these people are young and vigorous.
They are not only the elite of the current scientific community, but also the hope of the future Chinese scientific community.
"Yes, I will bring them all back safely."
Liao Fanghong used to be a soldier in the Air Force, and when he heard Qin Yi's words, he also hurriedly reassured loudly.
"Don't have too much pressure, in fact, in this void, it is very empty, and there is basically no danger, that is, you should be more cautious when investigating planets, asteroids and other celestial bodies."
"In addition, because of the long-term voyage in space, people are prone to some negative emotions and problems, so we must tell everyone to go to the agricultural crop area and simulated ecological area on the spacecraft from time to time to take a walk and rest."
Seeing that Liao Fanghong was very serious, Qin Yi also smiled and said.
Because the Kwafu spacecraft is a scientific research spacecraft, not a spacecraft for mining asteroids, it needs to travel in space for a long time, so the internal settings of the spacecraft are also more special.
There is an agricultural crop area and a simulated ecological area, and the agricultural crop area is used to grow some fresh vegetables and fruits, so that the crew on the ship can eat fresh vegetables and fruits.
Although there is a frozen warehouse on the spaceship, and there is no problem with freezing vegetables and fruits, frozen ones are frozen after all, and they are far less good than fresh ones.
In addition to fresh vegetables, another function of this area is to dispel the negative emotions of the crew, which can eventually lead to major problems if left for a long time away from the living planet.
Qin Yi knew this very well from the Science and Technology Tower.
Some civilizations did not pay enough attention to this aspect in the early interstellar colonization activities, and did not find this aspect of the problem, one after another spaceships were sent out, and finally the spaceships did not reach their destinations, and the people on the spaceships died and became ghost spaceships.
One of the most important reasons is this void syndrome!
All living things have evolved on the living planet, everything is adapted to everything on the living planet, sailing in the void, there is nothing in a short period of time, and as long as it lasts, all kinds of problems will occur frequently.
Just like the Age of Discovery on the earth, the early Age of Discovery, it was basically to fight and fight with their lives, and those who were often keen on colonization were the people at the bottom, because they themselves were not doing well, and they went to the sea to fight for the future.
Therefore, the early colonists were basically ruffians, hooligans, bandits, and robbers, and the British started by robbing Spanish gold ships, so that the Anglo-Spanish War broke out later.
In the early days of colonization, ships sailed the seas for a long time, and because of the lack of vitamins, scurvy was very prevalent, and more than 20 million people died of scurvy in more than 200 years, from 1521 to 1744.
When Zheng He went to the West, he was very clever in using bean sprouts to supplement vitamins, while people in Western countries did not begin to use tea and citrus juice to fight scurvy until the seventies and eighties of the 18th century.
Sailing in the Void, colonizing the stars, the Void Syndrome is the most terrifying thing, enough to devour everyone on board the ship if left untreated.
Qin Yi kept saying some things that needed attention, and Liao Fanghong kept silently remembering Qin Yi's words.
Time is slowly passing, the replenishment of the 'Kuafu' spacecraft is also completed, the huge hatch begins to close slowly, and the scientists who are ready to investigate with the ship are also boarding the spacecraft one after another.
Qin Yi patrolled around the spaceship, and the preparations in all aspects were very sufficient, and there was nothing to tell and explain again, so he also got off the spaceship.
"Departure~"
With an order, the mechanical arms that had originally fixed the Kuafu spacecraft began to be released continuously, and the engines on the Kuafu spacecraft also began to start, slowly leaving the Dragon's Nest Space Factory.
"Do you think this expedition will overturn many of our existing understandings?"
In the control center of the Dragon's Nest Space Factory, looking at the Kuafu spaceship that was gradually moving away, Yang Hongyan thought about it and said.
"There should always be some gains, we know too little about the solar system, because we haven't left the earth yet."
Qin Yi thought for a while and said, looking at the broader void, human beings are too small, their understanding of the universe is also very limited, and they are full of yearning but fear for the broader sea of stars.
