Chapter 326: Out of Control
According to the original plan, this time the spacecraft will carry out a wide range of maneuvers in the vast airspace within the orbit of Mars.
However, perhaps because of the fear of infectious diseases, the Senate greatly reduced the scope of the spacecraft's sea trials, and only carried out maneuver trials within a radius of 30 million kilometers with the earth as the center.
Zhizi is still on Earth, and he was not taken on the spaceship by Pang Xuelin.
The reason is simple, Pang Xuelin needs to keep abreast of the latest news on Earth through Zhizi.
As for the time to wreak havoc, Pang Xuelin only needs one thought to summon Zhizi back to the system space, and then he can re-release it in the spaceship.
Until now, Pang Xuelin has not known what kind of existence the so-called system space is.
Anyway, as long as he has a thought, no matter where Zhizi is, he can let her return to the system space in an instant.
Pang Xuelin sometimes even wonders if he can do such an operation when he and Zhizi are separated by a few light years.
Because if this is really possible from a technical point of view, then it also means that there is a technology that can make a large range of long-distance space jumps regardless of the speed of light.
He once asked the system about it.
It's just that when the dog system encounters such a sensitive issue, it either chooses to play dead, or talks about him left and right.
This made Pang Xuelin very helpless.
……
There is nothing to say about the spacecraft trials, the only thing that is interesting is the artificial gravitational field system inside the spacecraft.
This artificial force field allows people on the spaceship to move freely as if they were on Earth.
Compared with the kind of artificial force that Pang Xuelin has seen in the Dark Forest World and the Martian World, the level of using centrifugal force to create artificial force fields is much higher.
Moreover, when the spacecraft accelerates through orbit change maneuvers, even if it maneuvers instantaneously, there is no need for the deep-sea acceleration fluid in the dark forest, and Pang Xuelin does not feel much of the impact of acceleration.
Pang Xuelin faintly suspected that this was the effect that could only be presented when the force field distorted the space and maneuvered.
It's like the maneuverability shown by the water droplets of the Three-Body Civilization during the Doomsday Battle of the Dark Forest that does not conform to the common sense of human astronautics.
It's just that he has only been in this world for five years, and most of his energy is focused on the field of biology, so he has not studied this technology too deeply.
During this time, Tomoko has been broadcasting to him every move on Earth.
With the large-scale outbreak of retroassimilation virus, the number of people infected with retroassimilation virus is currently on the rise.
At present, the Shrimp Civilization Senate has declared a state of emergency on Earth, but in some areas, the situation has begun to slowly escape the control of the Senate.
Especially taking advantage of this crisis, the "Sky Eye" organization began to frequently disrupt the situation, making the entire Senate of the shrimp civilization anxious.
And soon, the shrimp people found that the transformed people infected with the reverse assimilation virus could slowly recover the appearance of humans, although the infection was equivalent to a serious illness, but the mortality rate was only about 10%.
But the native shrimp people are different.
Because their ancestors devoured the genes of too many other species, once these genes hidden in their bodies that had not exploded exploded all at once, the mortality rate was almost as high as 100%.
It was for this reason that the Goethe terminated its planned month-long trial voyage a week after sailing and chose to return home.
However, after returning home, Goethe did not enter the earth, but was moored in a geosynchronous orbit 36,000 kilometers above the equator according to the order of the senate.
At this time, there were already signs of a large-scale outbreak of the virus inside the Goethe.
According to the monitoring data provided by Tomoko, among the 100,000 people on the Goethe, more than 1,000 crew members have been quarantined due to illness, and more than 500 of them have died.
The average time from onset to death is about three to five days.
However, Goethe uses a dual control mode of artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence, even if a soldier leaves his post, the use of artificial intelligence technology can also ensure the normal operation of the spacecraft.
As for who is in control after AI takes over, there is no need to say more.
Pang Xuelin now has nothing to do every day, except for the six-hour rotation on duty in the Ministry of Communications every day, the rest of the time is spent in the cabin where he lives.
He lived in the cabin between him and Peter.
However, Peter had been taken away by the gendarmerie two days before, and never returned.
So this small cabin has become his own independent space, and no one will come to disturb him.
In fact, at present, strict information control measures are in place on the Goethe spacecraft.
Although the crew knew that a mysterious epidemic had broken out, they did not have a clear understanding of what it meant to be infected with it and how serious it was now.
Therefore, Pang Xuelin's life is very comfortable, every day through Zhizi to learn about the latest incidence data on the earth, take a look at the latest response measures of the Senate, and watch the play with peace of mind.
As for Pang Xuelin himself, when he was at the Antarctic base, he had already been injected with a special vaccine against the reverse assimilation virus, which could make him not affected by the reverse assimilation virus infection for a short time.
In the following period, the number of people infected and outbreaks of the virus, both in the spacecraft and on Earth, was extremely high.
The most important thing is that once this reverse assimilation virus infects shrimp people, it will directly bind to DNA fragments in its chromosomes, so it is difficult to isolate the true body of this virus by normal means.
And according to the research progress of the major scientific research institutions of the shrimp civilization monitored by Zhizi, it is not optimistic.
According to Pang Xuelin's estimate, under normal circumstances, it would take them three or five years to find the true identity of the virus.
As for the development of a vaccine, it is estimated that it will take another three to five years.
By that time, the native shrimp people in the shrimp civilization may have died out.
And as more and more transformed people are infected with the virus and turn back into humans, the world has become a mess.
Many of the converted armies began to declare their independence from the Senate.
Even the original high-level people who had been transformed began to support themselves one by one.
And the two starships Goethe and Tia in geosynchronous orbit have become the last reliance of the native shrimp people.
Time passed day by day, and in the afternoon, Pang Xuelin had just finished his six-hour duty work and returned to the cabin where he lived, when he received the latest news from Zhizi.
"Husband, the people in the Senate can't sit still, the Supreme Elder has asked for a meeting of all the elders of the Senate, and it is very likely that the resolution to dispatch the starships will be passed."
Pang Xuelin nodded, and said with a straight face: "Zhizi, immediately send me the video of the meeting site through two-dimensional projection." ”
"Understood!"
