Chapter 0923 - Gravity Weapon
The space shuttle finally reached the space station in synchronous orbit.
All the passengers breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in their hearts was slightly lowered: the distance from the synchronous orbit down to the boundary of the atmosphere was the main containment ground of the space garbage belt......
While the shuttle unloaded the boosters, Cartier Bist led Liuyun and Kraven around the large space station.
was able to come out and let off steam, and Kabein was naturally full of ease. However, the face of Katias Bist, who was traveling with him, was not so good-looking, and even the smile specially prepared for the two younger brothers was a little reluctant.
Seeing the spaceport of Laplace, the prime minister's official residence that his grandfather blew up, Cartier Bist's mood naturally did not feel comfortable.
Of course, after more than 60 years of development, although the spaceport still retains its original shape, the size is no longer what it used to be, and it is more than 10 times larger than it was more than 60 years ago.
As if to alleviate the anxiety of passengers, there is a lot of greenery in the spaceport.
Of course, it would be nice if the artificial gravitational acceleration due to the circular motion in the spaceport could be smaller. The acceleration of gravity on Earth is six times that of the Moon, so the spaceport, which acts as a transit, acts as a buffer against the gravity difference.
When he first went to the street, the excited young master of Cabein had not yet realized the difference in gravity, but after a long time, the problem came: the eldest young master's legs began to weaken.
At this time, the eldest young master remembered: It was said in the middle school textbook that the change of gravity requires a process of adaptation; And those who move to the moon, if they want to return to Earth, need to be injected with specific hormones regularly to maintain the body's metabolic standards.
Thinking of this, the eldest young master of Kabein raised his head and glanced at the reminder sign on the side of the road, the gravitational acceleration was already about four meters per square second......
"Claude ......" Master Cabein turned around and found that his friend was still looking relaxed, a little surprised, "You ......"
Liuyun smiled slightly: "I've been doing weight training all the time!" ”
"Don't tell me......" Master Kabine's eyes widened, "you've always been six times your weight. ”
"Not six!"
Just when the eldest young master of Kabein breathed a sigh of relief, Liuyun reported a number that made him desperate: "Ten times!" ”
That's too much of a bully!
Seeing the smiling Liuyun, Craven Kabein recalled a detail: a few days ago, after knowing that he had been forcibly dragged into a military summer camp on Earth, there was no trace of panic on his face......
After returning to the shuttle, Kabein despaired of the upcoming military training......
The flight went well, and two hours later, the shuttle landed at the Kennedy Space Center on the east coast of Florida in North America.
After landing, the passengers on the plane experienced another legendary word: gravity well.
Although it is only an illusion, many people who come to Earth for the first time feel that their bodies are being dragged underground by the huge force of gravity. This feeling is exactly the same as soaking in the pool for a long time and wanting to go ashore, but feeling heavy and unable to exert strength.
Fortunately, the angel appeared.
The medical center of the space center injected all passengers with "weight-removing injections" and sleeping pills......
After waking up, Kabein, who stepped on the ground again, regained his confidence in "gravity combat".
If Liuyun knew what Craven Kabein was thinking, he would give him a roll of the eye and tell him that the "de-weighting injection" only paralyzed the brain and cerebellum, making them temporarily forget what gravity looked like in their original environment?
It turns out that the delusion is just an illusion.
On the night of his stay, Master Kabein's legs were cramping because of his bones' thirst for calcium. Liuyun, who lives in isolation, can only follow the bad luck, in addition to serving tea and water, he also has to be responsible for beating his legs.
In the next few days, the two eldest young masters, Craven and Cartier, have been supplementing their nutrition, supplementing calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, and vitamins......
During the time of taking care of the two eldest young masters, Liuyun was not idle, and combined with his personal experience, he saved up a paper: "The Idea of Gravity Weapons in the Cosmic Age".
In the paper, Liuyun focused on the analysis of "gravity", which seems to be an inconspicuous but highly lethal factor.
Gravity affects an organism's bone density, muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory capacity.
For adolescents whose development is not yet over, the change in gravity can be adapted through physical development.
The change of gravity is poison for adults: if an adult lives in gravity conditions that are higher than the daily life environment for a long time, there is a high chance of suffering from bone diseases, muscle strain, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
At the end of the article, the frenzied Liuyun also made a suggestion: in order to maintain the superiority of the Earth's force, it is recommended that the federal revision of the standard reduce the artificial gravity level of artificial celestial objects......
After finishing the paper, Liuyun used an account on the dark web to send the paper to the private mailbox of a young officer in the Federal Staff Headquarters.
In the cosmic century without Unrestricted Warfare, Liuyun spent a night brewing a thesis, like a nuclear bomb being detonated......
Many bigwigs who are having a headache with Side3 independence, after seeing the paper, they are empowered, such as Ganlin: If we had seen this paper earlier, would we still have a headache.
However, it is not too late to make amends. Although there is only one Side3 in front of you, no one can guarantee that this will be the last one.
Before Jewel, a kind of bigwig in the Federal Staff Headquarters quickly formed a secret resolution seeking to push the Engineering Association to revise the standards for the construction of colonial satellites.
The engineering associations, dominated by colonial satellite builders, are not fools either: low gravity means that the need for material strength is lower, and the energy required to maintain artificial gravity is smaller; If you can justifiably cut corners, why not?
While a group of high-ranking officials and businessmen of the Federation are secretly planning small actions that can affect the future pattern, a group of drug activists in my Side3 are "conspiring together"......
And Liuyun, the initiator, was holding a thirty-kilogram backpack in the mud pit of the Fort Irwin Training Center, and the same abused as him were, in addition to the two eldest young masters of Kraven and Cartiers, as well as a group of children of the same age as the executives of the Bister consortium.
In just over half a month, a group of young masters have been trained to look good.
Of course, the reason for this success is also due to the courage of the old Best: the instructors who trained were all from the Tier1 special forces; In a small and inconspicuous building on the edge of the training ground, dozens of top doctors are guarding dozens of sets of top-notch medical equipment and are on standby 24 hours a day......
Watching his little friend lie down in the mud under the barbed wire, Katias Bister became suspicious of his persistence......
Those so-called new humans, who have been given the corresponding rights, and still use the C ideas of the old era, without spending a little money, to take the colonies built by the Federation at a great cost as their own, such people really deserve sympathy?
Shake is shaken, and training must continue.
I have to keep pretending!
After the instructor shouted to stop, Liuyun crawled out of the wire quagmire "out of breath" and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath......
