Early the next morning, accompanied by An Haoyan, Pang Xuelin went to the Gravitational Wave Research Institute to observe the first start test of the gravitational wave antenna.

Compared to a few months ago, today's gravitational wave antennas are not only completely new, but also greatly increased in size.

The length has increased from 1,000 meters to 1,500 meters, and the diameter has also increased from 50 meters to more than 70 meters.

Its surface has also changed from the original white flying blade material to a smooth mirror material, half reflecting the sky and half reflecting the earth.

"There's a two-dimensional string encapsulated in it, and by plucking this string, you can constantly send gravitational waves into outer space. However, this wave is not yet modulated and is no different from the gravitational waves emitted by a supernova explosion, a neutron star, or a black hole, so there is no need to worry about such fluctuations exposing our place in the universe. ”

An Haoyan introduced.

Pang Xuelin nodded, curious: "Can this wave cancel each other out with the gravitational fluctuations of the earth itself?" ”

An Haoyan smiled and said, "Of course, Professor Pang, you can see it later after the antenna is activated." ”

The effect of the gravitational wave antenna is really as An Haoyan said.

At ten o'clock in the morning, with the order of the commander-in-chief of the scene, the gravitational wave antenna was activated.

A wave that is imperceptible to ordinary people is centered on a gravitational wave antenna and spreads out at the speed of light.

In an instant, I saw that the base supporting the gravitational wave antenna shook slightly, and then, the gravitational wave antenna, which weighed tens of thousands of tons, floated silently.

I saw it slowly rise, and finally, it stopped two meters above the earth.

Pang Xuelin was a little amazed.

This kind of anti-gravity effect can only be seen in science fiction movies and television.

The only regret is that in this world, An Haoyan controls the emission of gravitational waves through macroatomic strings, but in the real world, there is no such thing as macroatoms, so it may be difficult for Pang Xuelin to replicate this technology in the real world.

An Hao said: "If we want, the antenna can directly rise to outer space and become a satellite of the earth." ”

Pang Xuelin was curious: "What will happen if this technology is used for space launch?" ”

An Haoyan said with a smile: "If it was placed a hundred years ago, this technology would be enough to change the entire space pattern of mankind." But now, our space industry has already formed a scale, but the interior of the earth is carrying out deindustrialization tasks step by step. In addition, the earth's own atmospheric environment and gravitational environment are complex, and many emerging industries have more potential for development in space, so this technology can only be applied to some low-earth orbit missions. Moreover, this technology has not yet fully matured, and it is estimated that it will take at least thirty or fifty years for it to spread on a large scale. ”

Pang Xuelin nodded, his eyes still focused on the gravitational wave antenna.

He noticed that as the gravitational wave antenna activated, a glimmer of anomalies began to appear in the surrounding sky.

The clouds that had been distributed around the area began to gradually converge around the gravitational wave antenna, and finally formed a saucer-shaped cloud layer with a diameter of several kilometers.

At some point, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

Pang Xuelin knew that this was due to the special effects of gravitational waves in the atmosphere, which caused water vapor to accumulate above the gravitational wave antenna.

Soon, as the data of various indicators came one after another, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the scene.

The first test of the gravitational wave antenna was a complete success.

An Haoyan said with a smile: "Professor Pang, the result is even more perfect than imagined, as long as it goes through two or three more tests like this, the antenna is basically fine." ”

Pang Xuelin asked again: "How is the signal modulation system doing now?" ”

An Hao said: "The development is being accelerated, and it is expected to be completed within half a month." ”

An Haoyan was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Professor Pang, you asked to build this gravitational wave emission system, are you going to launch any information?" ”

Pang Xuelin said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, I will send someone to receive it at that time!" ”

"Good!"

An Haoyan saw that Pang Xuelin didn't mean to explain, nodded and didn't ask any more.

……

In the next half month, Pang Xuelin spent most of his time at the Gravitational Wave Research Institute, participating in the construction of the launch control system.

After making sure that the entire transmission system is safe and reliable, he input the relevant coordinate information into the computer system of the gravitational wave emission system.

This system is directly controlled by MOSS, and no one can send danger information to outer space through the control system, except for Pang Xuelin's command.

Crisis Era: October 12, 205.

Pang Xuelin and Zhuang Yan set off from Earth and boarded a spacecraft to Mars.

They will rendezvous with the Fifth Fleet on Mars and then head to Saturn's orbit to join the Solar System Fleet there and await the arrival of the Trisolaran probe.

Originally, Pang Xuelin was going to send Zhuang Yan to the asteroid belt to join Cheng Xin and them.

But Zhuang Yan seemed to realize something, and said that he was unwilling to part with Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin had no choice but to take her to set off together.

At this time, in the bridge of the Fifth Fleet's flagship "Natural Selection", with the order of Fleet Commander Xu Shaomin, over the Mars synchronous orbit, the tail of 500 stellar spacecraft bloomed like a sun, instantly illuminating the dim night sky with the backlit surface of Mars.

Subsequently, under the leadership of the Natural Selection, one after another stellar-class spacecraft left the berth.

"Sir, it is estimated that it will take 92 hours and 45 minutes for the fleet to reach the orbit of Saturn, and in ten minutes, the fleet will enter the deep-sea flight state, and the deep-sea flight is expected to last 6 hours, 20 minutes and 24 seconds."

The captain of the Natural Selection, Dongfang continued, saluted the commander of the fleet, Xu Shaomin.

Xu Shaomin turned his gaze to Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin said: "The whole ship has entered the deep sea state." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Shaomin saluted Pang Xuelin, and then continued to Dongfang: "From now on, the commander's order is my order!" ”

"Understood!"

Dongfang continued to be slightly stunned, although he didn't know why Xu Shaomin trusted this former wall-facing person so much, but Xu Shaomin had a very high prestige in the fleet, and she naturally would not disobey Xu Shaomin's military orders!

"The whole ship has entered the deep sea state!"

Soon, the cabins became transparent.

Immediately afterwards, the deep-sea acceleration fluid began to appear silently in the cabin, and this liquid took on the form of a sphere in weightlessness, slowly filling the entire cabin.

It is a breathable liquid that is used to protect the crew's body during acceleration or high maneuverability.

Otherwise, at an acceleration of hundreds of G, no matter who you are, you will only be spread into a pancake by the acceleration.
