Chapter 520: The Explorer (1)
March 19th.
Gravitational Bomb Experiment 3 was successfully detonated, and after this detonation, the resulting super gravitational chaos field was so strong that even the Kuiper Belt region detected obvious gravitational waves.
The low-light phenomenon of the super-light phenomenon has also become more obvious and intuitive, and the Gravity Research Institute will integrate and compare all the data generated by these three tests.
These data have brought very valuable data to the Gravitational Research Institute, which generally uses anti-gravity generators to reverse thrust when studying gravity, and intuitive tests like gravitational bombs are very rare.
The historical significance of this test is no less than the detonation of the first mushroom egg of mankind, and if the gravitational bomb and the mushroom egg are used as an analogy, then the gravitational engine is equivalent to the meaning of a nuclear fusion reactor.
Huang Haojie is also paying attention to this matter, but he has recently been working on the research and development of knowledge chips, which are mainly prepared for the alliance's growing knowledge base.
This knowledge chip is a kind of biochip, which can be fused together with the human brain, once the research and development is successful, then humans can obtain most of the knowledge of human beings almost as soon as they are born, but in the research and development process, Huang Haojie has encountered some very difficult problems, and is now solving these problems with many biochip researchers.
……
The other side.
The planet Helix, which is the headquarters of the Third Fleet of the solar system and the headquarters of the Third Army of the solar system.
With the increasing maturity of human augmentation technology and genetic armor technology, human beings can fly freely in the solar system.
As one of the three major armies of the Alliance, the Third Army of the Solar System is the largest and most extensive in its jurisdiction, as well as the most heavily defended, and they must face off against alien civilizations that may invade the solar system from other star systems.
Especially in the direction of the Polaris region in the direction of the dark beast civilization, the alliance army is even more vigilant, countless monitoring satellites and space minefields are dense, and any force that tries to invade the solar system must pass through the defense zone of the Third Army.
At present, the Third Army is under the jurisdiction of the Third Fleet of the Solar System, the Pluto Defense Fleet, the Hyllick Planetary Defense Fleet, and the Kuiper Belt Defense Fleet; There are also 16 asteroid defense forts (6 built and 6 under construction); With 4 million soldiers, the Third Army as a whole was the largest of the three armies.
Above the spaceport of Planet Helix, a new warship that has just been built from the Blue Star Battleship Factory is hovering in the mooring area.
The commander of the Helic defense fleet, Lei Ke, and the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, Fan Lijia, were in the berth area.
"Colonel Ma Wu, take care this time." Fan Lijia held Ma Wu's hand and said.
"Commander-in-Chief, we will definitely ensure that the mission will be completed." Ma Wu and more than a hundred and fifty soldiers behind him hurriedly saluted.
"Be cautious in everything, and if you encounter an emergency, you must contact the headquarters in time." Fan Lijia commanded solemnly.
"Definitely." Ma Wu is also very serious.
"Let's go! I wish you all the best of luck. Fan Lijia saluted all the soldiers.
"Let's go." Ma Wu waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately headed for the "Explorer" space cruiser.
This is a replica of the "Shadow Leopard class" space cruiser human battleship, the size is about the same as the Shadow Leopard class, in the absence of foreign material supply, it can last more than 12 years at cruising speed, if you can get supplies halfway, then the endurance time can be longer.
Ma Wu is the captain of the Explorer, and their mission is to explore the conditions within a radius of 3 light years from the solar system, and as a second-level civilization, the Human Revolutionary Federation must know everything about the vicinity of the solar system.
Don't think that the void between the galaxies is really nothing, in fact, there is a lot of matter in the void, but it is very empty because the length and size are too large.
In fact, with the development of the astronomical observation technology of the Human Revolutionary Union, especially after absorbing the neutrino detection technology of the Anluo civilization and the gravitational wave detection technology of the Soth civilization, the Human Revolutionary Union has discovered a lot of interstellar dust, ice crystals, asteroids and so on in the Oort cloud region of the solar system and in the outer interstellar void.
These asteroids are codenamed "Icegod Family", the largest of which is "Icegod 143", which is located in the region between the North Star Region and the West Zodiac Star Region, about 5673 astronomical units from the Sun, and the size of the planet is slightly smaller than the Moon.
In the wandering era, Planet Helic encountered many asteroids and interstellar dust, and relied on the supply of these materials to reluctantly escape from 44 light-years away to the solar system.
The Explorer slowly departed from the planet Helic and headed further into interstellar space.
"Captain, we have entered the cruising speed, and we expect to meet the first symbolic asteroid Icegod 413 in 15 hours and 34 minutes."
"The battleship defense is in normal condition."
"The stardust recovery system on the top of the battleship began to operate, and the current recovery efficiency is about 367~426 grams per second."
"The neutrino radar and gravitational-wave radar were activated and began to scan the shipping lane."
"The quantum communication system is working fine."
Ma Wu sat in the cockpit looking at the holographic star map, and the soldiers in charge of driving the battleship reported to him from time to time.
"Captain, why don't you stay in the Martian Territory or the Jupiter Territory as a district commander or a member of the Captain's Authority?" Political Commissar Zhang Handong suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Nothing, just wanting to soar in the stars like an eagle, I don't want to be a rubber stamp in the office." Ma Wu replied with a smile.
"Haha, I heard that Qingsong is now venting his bitterness, and the affairs of Utopia City are so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and he regrets staying in the Martian Territory as a manager." Deputy Captain Fang Haibo teased.
"Commissioner Zhang, I heard that you worked in Xinjiang before? How did you get into the Union Army?" Another deputy captain, Masayoshi Kobayashi, asked in surprise.
Zhang Handong smiled and replied: "It's nothing, it's just that decades of official work are too boring and boring, I plan to change my mentality and try another way of life." ”
"That's not bad either." Kobayashi also knew that Zhang Handong's age was 57 years old, and if it weren't for genetic strengthening, he would have retired in a few years.
As several people spoke, the Explorer was flying at 14.5% of the speed of light, and from time to time a flickering light appeared on the top shield of the battleship, a phenomenon caused by the collision of a high-speed battleship and stardust or asteroids along the way.
If it is a relatively large asteroid, the battleship must take the initiative to avoid it, otherwise the strong kinetic energy may bring a large load to the condensed matter shield.
"1.6 astronomical units ahead, 2 asteroids with a diameter of more than 50 meters were found, and the azimuth was 14366.7631/79631.8437......"
"Roger, evasion."
Supercomputing quickly gave an evasion route, and then the explorer immediately made evasive actions.
As the explorer farther and farther away from the edge of the solar system, the situation they encountered became more and more unfamiliar, and Ma Wu and others began to enter various data parameters into the system, which was one of their missions on this voyage, to explore the interstellar space conditions along the route.
