"You can't go!" Nick Ma said this to Zhang Tianhe very decisively, and as soon as he said this, Zhang Tianhe laughed - in fact, this kind of order is ridiculous, because ...... Most of the Martians' attachment to the Star comes from imagination, and what is in Zhang Tianhe's head, what you give to an interstellar travel spaceship doesn't mean much - too far.

The speed of light has always been a yardstick for people to measure interstellar space, it is difficult to imagine the speed of light for most human beings, in the eyes of many people, the speed of light is just a value, about 300 million meters per second, if a person spends his whole life on Mars, assuming that this person lives for 80 years, then he has to walk an average of more than 10,000 meters a day to complete the distance traveled by light in 80 years, so it is difficult for you to talk about interstellar travel with those who work in the Martian government, there is no common language - The scale of time and distance in your mind is very different, and many words cannot be easily communicated.

For the Martian government, for Nixma, sometimes they forget that there is a considerable distance between them and Zhang Tianhe, as soon as the stars take off, many signals are not instantaneous, and people's means of communication have not been able to break through the speed of light limit, with the current orbit difference between the earth and Mars, there is a communication gap of more than ten minutes between Zhang Tianhe and Nikoma, and this time is the time when the signal runs from Mars to the earth and back--so far away, so long, It would be humorous to give such a boring order to a living person.

So the Martian government has always lacked a kind of empathy, it has never understood the true meaning of the star, and its obligations to the Martian government after flying away from Mars are actually very few, and at this time it is the star that is actively fulfilling its obligations, not the Martian government ordering it to fulfill its obligations - they will slowly feel the subtle difference in between.

For astronauts, for everyone, the people around you are the people closest to you - you don't need to fly out of the solar system, as long as you are as far away as Zhang Tianhe and Nick Ma now, you can feel this immediately. But from Nick Ma's point of view, he obviously doesn't have a deep understanding of this matter, because he has never left Mars, and in common sense he knows that he is far away from Zhang Tianhe, but psychologically he is not aware of it.

"I'm going down right soon to report to you, not to ask for your permission, just a courtesy notice." Zhang Tianhe wanted to laugh, but finally he didn't laugh - whenever he contacted the Martian government, he always couldn't help but think of what was in his head, and whoever had a tumor in his head couldn't laugh, but this did not affect his mood, "You have to understand one thing, whether it is for us astronauts or for people on Mars, as long as Fanxing takes off its mission to include contact with other people wherever it is, its meaning is for all mankind, and it is no longer the little thing under your bureaucracy, In other words, it's out of control...... To be honest, personally, going from space to Mars almost extinguished my curiosity about humans, so I feel glad that it was something new for me to be able to meet some different humans. As far as the Martian standpoint is concerned, there is now an opportunity to discover other people's other technologies, and I will not miss it no matter what. Listen to this: the Martian who discovered the first earthlings in 200 years - I'm going to be in a human history textbook, and guess if I'll miss such an opportunity! ”

If such a long text message is sent out in interstellar space, it is basically equivalent to the end of the conversation, and there will be no more waiting for your reply, Zhang Tianhe did this, he immediately asked Shulmi to arrange for a small airship to prepare for landing on the moon - no matter what Nikima's reply is, when he sees the text message and comes back again, he has already landed, what can you do to him.

In fact, when Nick Ma asked him to escort the woman in the egg warehouse back to Mars, he was full of unhappiness, for the Martian government, there are very few places where they can threaten him, but there is just something in his head, at most it is not a death, death has no meaning to him, people are dying every day in the solar system, and half of the causes of death for astronauts are inexplicable, so what is there to be afraid of - people who live on Mars are afraid of death, because they live comfortably, they have family and friends, Their lives should tend to be stable and long-lived, and death is a negative thing for such people. For Zhang Tianhe, he has no fetters in this regard - the relationship between the sexes on Mars has always been relatively frivolous, coupled with the changeability of human nature, his parents don't know where to run not long after he was born, he grew up in the government's public welfare institutions like the vast majority of Martians, and as mentioned earlier, he has no reproductive rights, no wife and children, so you can't find a definite reason to fear death - the vast majority of people on the Star are like this, and there are only a few people like Jenny Young who have a clear family bond.

The ridiculous thing is that the Martian Council has never found that they lack such binding power, because Mars lives a stable and happy life, because they don't know what is in their minds, because of their long-term authority over Zhang Tianhe, they will habitually think that their binding power on him can be long and strong...... It doesn't exist, for a person who has been flying north and south for more than ten years, space is the place where his soul haunts, death is even a relief, and the authority that others fantasize about is a pile of shit for him, but it is just a kind of cheap thing that must be catered to in order to get the material conditions to fly to his dreams...... Sometimes Zhang Tianhe involuntarily feels that for the Martians, they really haven't learned anything from the destruction of the earth, they have changed a place, a different set of methods, but they still use the things that the earthlings would be afraid of before to bind others, this way of thinking itself is sliding into the abyss, and it has been confirmed, but people pretend that they are not aware of this - it seems that for the original Martians, the short-term happiness is worth pretending to be stupid for a lifetime, and later, this stupidity is unconsciously passed on to the next generation, In just two hundred years, this stupidity has become extremely sincere: man is no longer loyal to himself, but to a form, which is probably the first sign of the decline of mankind - so Zhang Tianhe has endured humiliation and promoted the Star Project for so many years, in fact, he doesn't want to stay on Mars anymore no matter what, there is no benefit at all, and he is not allowed to have children......

"Go?" Shulmi sent a text message.

"Let's go!" He replied without hesitation, then gave the order for the captain to slide to the lower level, opened the door with determination, nodded to Shulmi, who came over to salute him, and smiled involuntarily.

I just laughed because I saw the energetic spirit of these young people on the Star, they didn't know what they were busy for, but they were sincerely busy with an impatient look on their faces, and this kind of serious work made him look at it. In the flight cabin, people prepared five small spaceships to land on the moon, these spaceships also made him look like, they are the highest technology crystallization of Mars, they look like a short and thick cannonball, all shiny and full of spirit, and now they are lying in orbit one by one. These small spaceships themselves do not have the ability to launch fusion, and each time they take off, they need to add fusion energy cores from the power compartment of the Star, which is to gather energy in a power core and then assemble it on a small spaceship, and these small airships can complete short trips. It sounds a little chilly, but this little airship can complete the feat of "landing" Jupiter and then returning to the mothership, you know, in the solar system, there may only be the sun and it can't "land", that is also because the sun is unpredictable, not because this little airship is not powerful enough - its power is enough to get rid of the gravitational constraints of the sun, but it can't withstand the extreme environment of the sun's high-temperature and high-pressure plasma, as strong as the star, its strongest place is also in the power layer, in the engine, if the star is thrown into the sun, It will also evaporate as it sinks, but its engine can go all the way to the core of the sun, and it will be the last part of the ship to disappear.

The energy core is like a small engine, to be precise, it is more like a hot honeycomb coal, the dinghy itself does not have the ability to ignite, the star heats the honeycomb coal in the fusion furnace and then attaches it to the dinghy. The crew gave the dinghy the unpleasant name "Pig's Nose" because it looked like a strange shape, with two protruding semi-balls at the top, which looked like two holes. These two holes are its weapons, which can fire neutron and particle bullets. There is no point in hitting a nuclear bomb in space, because the main killing methods of nuclear bombs, radiation and shock waves, have little effect in space, and any spacesuit can be resisted by adding a nano suit, and nuclear bombs can only be used to hit people on the planet. The most powerful weapon in space, people will find it ridiculous to say it, that is, space itself, if the neutron cannon is to kill the human body, then the particle cannon is actually more terrifying, it is designed to expose people to space.

It's not so much a particle cannon as a high-energy particle drill, which can gather fusion energy into a beam and bombard it with high-energy particles at a point, which is the same principle as the sun emits high-energy particles outward, but it is just a stream of particles into a beam, and its goal is to penetrate the enemy spaceship and expose the enemy to space. In contrast, it's hard to tell which is more cruel, the neutron cannon or the particle cannon, if of course it's still the particle cannon from the enemy's side, because the neutron cannon can be adjusted to the level of destroying people's nerves immediately, and you don't feel any pain when you shoot people stupid. But being hit by a particle cannon is different, you can see the whole process from the ship's depressurization collapse to the spacesuit being penetrated, the nanosuit disappearing, feeling the pressure in your lungs, seeing the feces and urine rise in front of your eyes, burst open, and freeze again, in short, the most miserable death in space. Maybe it's only a few seconds to others, but it's definitely more than for people exposed to space, so if you have to die, it's better to choose the sub-cannon, which is more dignified for a person.

In fact, there are also benefits to beating people stupid, as mentioned earlier, the human body is a scarce resource, and beating a person's brain stupid can at least pick up a whole corpse and see if there is anything else that can be used, if you explode this person in space, it will be completely worthless, so it is more affordable than a neutron cannon.

For Zhang Tianhe, he likes small airships, and he also likes young people who are busy coming and going, but he doesn't like "pig nose" very much, because no matter which cannon is violent, the less this kind of thing is used, the better, but to this day, everyone still has to rely on this kind of thing to support, if there are no these cannons, he will definitely not run to the moon recklessly.
