Chapter 172: Accidental Discovery

Earth calendar, May 1, 2041 AD, Jupiter's outer space, the capital of galaxies.

Hua Kejing is visiting a major project under the leadership of Chen Liang, chief engineer of Muyu Aerospace.

In fact, this major project can be traced back many years to the E001 Phase Mission: to design an interstellar spaceship with current technological prowess.

From the design of the scheme to the implementation of the demonstration, the project has been progressing in an orderly manner, but recently the pace of construction has been accelerated under the special attention of Huakejing.

Now that I think about it, whether it is a phased task that starts with A, or a task that starts with E all the way to the present, everything finally fell into Xiaole's plan.

Of course, to go deeper, these actually come from the arrangement of Hua Kejing's ancestor, the master of the male loser.

"Mr. Hua, look."

Chief Engineer Chen pointed to a spaceship moored in the outer orbit spaceport of Jupiter in the distance, and then said to Hua Kejing: "After the accident on the earth, half of the staff of the engineering department were sent to Mao Gong to build the Callis base according to your requirements, of course, the construction of the interstellar spaceship has not been left behind, and the rest of us have finally completed it on schedule......

Hua Kejing patted Chief Engineer Chen's shoulder meaningfully, although the words were a little rough, but the brothers really worked hard.

What's more, during this time, everyone is still suffering the pain of losing relatives and friends, and many comrades have severe mood swings, which is really not easy.

It is said that this stellar spaceship was born from the design scheme of the ninth-level [Scientific Research Institute] and the ninth-level [Engineering Research Institute], and was carefully poured by the wisdom and sweat of the entire Muyu aerospace engineering and technical team.

The total length is 150.1 meters, and the diameter at the widest point is only 40.2 meters, and the overall appearance is a cylinder, and the back half area is an artificial gravity cabin that maintains a rotating state.

Taking a bird's-eye view, Hua Kejing sighed in his heart that after years of dedication, now the spaceship is finally about to take shape.

During the conversation, Chen Liang called up a string of data for Hua Kejing from the screen next to him.

He told Hua Kejing that on the premise of retaining the basic equipment and necessary life-sustaining resources, in order to increase the speed of the spacecraft as much as possible, the team of scientific experts and engineers has repeatedly streamlined the quality and space of the spacecraft.

It is no exaggeration to say that how many screws and how many grams of drinking water are loaded on the entire spaceship have been accurately calculated over and over again.

Hua Kejing nodded, and then asked about the collaborative work of the propulsion system.

By design, the interstellar spacecraft will first be strapped to a fusion thruster that weighs 52 times the size of the spacecraft itself when it leaves Jupiter's orbit.

Just like a rocket staged propulsion, the giant fusion thruster will first accelerate the entire spacecraft to 9,000 kilometers per second, or 3% of the speed of light.

After completing the auxiliary propulsion mission, the massive fusion thruster will break away and float into deep space.

In the following acceleration process, the spacecraft must rely on its own antimatter main engine and nuclear fusion secondary engine to complete the cooperation.

To sum up, the interstellar spacecraft built with the power of human civilization can eventually achieve an ideal speed of 10-12% of the speed of light, and can only carry one astronaut.

When the relevant scheme of this spaceship was first designed, Hua Kejing's heart was broken.

"That's it!!"

"10% of the speed of light, 26,000 light years!?"

"What else are you saving Luban!?"

"Let's think about how I survived to the Silver Heart!"

……

But then things turned out far beyond his imagination.

Overnight, the earth was cleared and human society evaporated.

Jupiter left behind a group of lonely ghosts, and Mars left a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

This is the last remaining population of human civilization, and the total number is less than 15,000 people.

It was in this context that Hua Kejing began to seriously think about the issue of going to Yinxin.

Of course, it's one thing to save Lu Ban's old man,

But since you've accepted the assignment and made a commitment, so be it.

The so-called life and death are downbeat, and if you don't accept it, you will do it!

If it really reaches the silver heart, Hua Kejing must show the dignity and attitude of human civilization to that high super civilization!

If he is a little more lucky, and his heart is bigger, he still wants to fight for the last glimmer of hope and get back what humanity has lost!

……

After a few circles around the periphery, Hua Kejing and Chen Liang entered the interior of the spaceship.

After some checking, Hua Kejing explained a few words in detail and left.

In order to ensure a smooth interstellar journey to the Silver Heart, he still has two important hurdles to overcome.

The first is to prepare enough antimatter fuel.

Because the spaceship built with the current scientific and technological strength of human civilization does not rely on antimatter engines, its speed cannot even touch the threshold of the speed of light.

The second is to further optimize the deep sleep technology during interstellar travel.

Because Hua Kejing is 47 years old this year, even if he takes drugs all the way and works all the way, it is inevitable that he will begin to age.

Time is like a truth, time is like a shuttle,

Therefore, the flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young.

After all, human beings cannot resist the natural law of the development of life.

For now, Huake must rely on dormancy technology to have any hope of crossing 26,000 light-years and reaching the core of the galaxy alive.

Moreover, there is not much time left for Hua Kejing, and he must travel as soon as possible.

If he were in the age of Earth, he could still wait for technology to climb through a long hibernation before choosing a more efficient interstellar travel option.

But the reality is that with just a population of more than 10,000 people in the Galaxy Capital, it is extremely difficult for human civilization to continue.

Talking about technological climbs is simply a luxury.

……

Somewhere in the Milky Way, in the dark expanse of cosmic deep space, the Forgotten spacecraft leaves the solar system for the thirteen00,000th and four Earth years.

Hua Kejing was woken up by Xiaole.

There are two reasons for this.

First, he has slept more than 20 hours this time, which is not good for his health and physical recovery.

According to the old rules, according to the plan, Xiaole will gradually reduce the single sleep time of Huake Mirror until it returns to normal levels.

Second, the Forsaken spacecraft's monitoring signals captured an incredible discovery.

Xiaole asked Hua Kejing leisurely: "Guess what we found?" ”

Hua Kejing asked something without thinking.

"A comet."

"Oh."

Hua Kejing half-lay down and snorted softly.

With his knowledge of artificial intelligence, since Xiaole asked like this, then there must be something special about this comet.

Although in this incomparably vast and empty universe, it is extremely rare to encounter a dust or pebble.

However, in the course of more than 100,000 years, the Forsaken has also observed several asteroid-level interstellar matter.

Therefore, if the previous observation was just an ordinary comet, Xiaole would definitely not be as troubled as he is now.

Sure enough, Xiaole went on to tell Hua Kejing that the relative velocity between the comet and the Forsaken was only 25.4 meters and seconds, and it was expected to reach its closest point in half a month.

"A comet...... And our relative velocity is only 25.4 m/s. ”

Hua Kejing's eyes lit up, and he immediately came to the spirit.

I salute every friend who has been with me all the way, thank you for your support!
