If you look at a starship spaceship in space against the backdrop of the universe, it feels like a dead branch floating in a deep pool, and you can't even tell if it's actually moving. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The vastness, the magnificence, the loneliness, the emptiness, the coexistence of darkness and light......

Staring at the boundless space through the starship spaceship, the above words appeared in Yuan Chen's mind.

Because of the artificial gravity generation device, Yuan Chen, who is in the living area, can stand in front of the porthole and be in a quiet daze.

Knowing the vastness of the universe and thinking of its own insignificance and insignificance, a sense of sadness has always been hidden in my heart.

For some reason, every time he looked out at the vast universe from the starship spaceship in the past few days, Yuan Haochen seemed to involuntarily have some pictures of the past in front of his eyes.

It seems that in the background of the starry sky, you can see yourself sitting on a big rock by the waterhole at the source of the Sun Moon Creek in your hometown.

With a jerky face, his bare feet were submerged in the water, and the cold feeling went straight to the depths of his mind, refreshing his heart.

In the picture, I looked up at the stars in the sky, and everything became quiet.

The sky seemed distant and deep, and the spotless sky seemed to let him look into the deepest part of the starry sky at a glance.

"How big is the universe, and does she have no edge? If so, what would the world on the edge look like? “

This is the question that Yuan Haochen asked his father when he was a child......

"You seem to have something on your mind, huh?" A cold female voice sounded in Yuan Chenchen's ears, speaking Chinese.

"Oh, it's just a daze, just empty your head." Yuan Haochen knew that the person who came was Chen Xi, an alumnus of his university, and he didn't look back, still looking out of the porthole.

"Do you miss your hometown and the earth?" Chen Xi also stood beside him and looked out of the porthole, and asked meaningfully.

"Yes!" This is a question that does not need to be disguised, and Yuan Haochen answered without hesitation.

"Me too, after all, it was the first time I left the earth, and I was still very excited a few days ago. However, through the experience of going deep into the universe in these two days, I have become more and more aware of my own insignificance, and this feeling is very frustrating. Chen Xi seemed to think of something again, so he added, "Actually, this is far from going deep into the universe......

"This is the mind ...... to manipulate the macrocosm with the consciousness of the microcosm," Yuan Haochen also deeply agrees with.

"Hey, handsome Chinese guy, so you're here." Durunik walked over and said in a playful tone, "Oh, and a pretty lady from the base in the Indian Ocean. ”

"Durunik, don't be foolish, this is my university alumni, and we are both from China." Yuan Haochen's tone exuded an undeniable momentum, but Durunik was right about one thing, Chen Xi did have a good appearance and temperament, but he looked very cold, and he looked like an ordinary person should not approach.

"I see, please don't mind." Durukik could already clearly feel the high cold aura from Chen Xi.

"Together, we discovered the Chenchen meteorite in the desert of Xinjiang, China." Yuan Haochen thought about it and added.

"Well, the discovery of the Chenchen meteorite is indeed a great thing." Durunik nodded.

"Team Leader Frank needs help there?" Yuan Haochen looked at Durunik and asked.

"We can't help much at the moment, the boss is just directing there, and it's Jenson and Keanu Reeves who are really working hard."

"This trip to Mars has just begun, and there should be a lot of work after that."

"It's a little over a month, and you can only experience how long it is on a spaceship." Chen Xi sighed.

"The Starship spaceship is in the acceleration stage these days, and there is no way to rest well. However, when the acceleration of nuclear propulsion is completed, there will be a month of stable flight time, and it should be much easier at that time. ”

............

After a day of steady flight, the Starship spacecraft finally reached the intended acceleration site.

"Starship spaceship, please reply if you receive it."

In the central command center of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance's Pacific Base and the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the voice of the commander Dean Gianna sounded again.

"Waiting for your orders, Dean Gianna." The Underground Launch Control Center immediately received a response from a Starship spacecraft in distant space.

"According to the plan, the acceleration mode of the nuclear pulse propulsion system will be turned on soon, are you ready?" Gianna asked in a very solemn tone.

As a strong supporter of the new generation of spacecraft propulsion technology and an advocate of new technological innovation actions, Gianna is most concerned about the practical demonstration of the nuclear pulse propulsion system.

"Dear Madam Gianna, we are ready to experience a special service." It was Frank who answered.

"Nikolaev received a reply." Speaking was Alsace, director of the Nuclear Power Research Institute, next to Dean Gianna.

"Roger, Dean Arthas." Nikolaev replied.

"A few key operational steps, I will emphasize to you again......" For the sake of prudence, President Alsace once again communicated and confirmed in detail with Nikolaev, a special engineer of nuclear propulsion systems.

"If everything is ready, it's time to get started." Dean Gianna continued, "While Nikolaev will try to control the level of acceleration of the nuclear pulse propulsion system, the feeling of nuclear acceleration may not be so friendly, please make sure that all personnel on board the Starship spacecraft are protected by safety devices. ”

"All the personnel are ready to go." Frank looked around at the crowd behind him and continued, "It looks like everyone is looking forward to this special service for nuclear power acceleration. ”

Indeed, the people on the Starship spaceship basically have no relevant experience, so everyone is waiting for the battle, and their expressions are not so calm and calm.

"What would it feel like when you said you were accelerating?" Durunik looked quite relaxed, and asked Yuan Haochen beside him with great interest.

"Maybe it's like doing a massage." Yuan Haochen said casually.

"Tuina massage, Thai?" Durunik's eyes lit up.

"Everyone, the countdown to the acceleration of the nuclear pulse propulsion system begins." Nikolaev began to count the seconds.

“10，9，8，...... 4, 3, 2, 1, start! ”

As Nikolaev pressed the start switch, the nuclear pulse propulsion system behind the starship spacecraft instantly lit up with a burst of orange light.

Because the micro-equivalent nuclear fuel units contained in the subdivided nuclear fuel energy matrix are "detonated" one by one in a certain order, the orange light appears to be constantly rotating.

“sh~it。” Durunik let out a slight grumble, which seemed to not feel as refreshing as a Thai massage.

Yuan Haochen, who was sitting on the safety device, felt like he had suddenly gotten on a roller coaster that accelerated sharply, and a feeling of dizziness suddenly hit, and his body was quickly pushed forward.

"It's okay, it's the same feeling as when the rocket is launched." Yuan Haochen thought secretly in his heart.

Soon, the acceleration of the starship spacecraft slowed down a bit and gradually stabilized, with only a slight fluctuation from time to time.

At the moment of activation, a large threshold is triggered, and the number of micro-equivalent nuclear fuel units that are "detonated" is larger and more uncontrollable. It's like when we first turn on a light circuit in our lives, there will be an instantaneous strong current passing through the circuit.

Once activated, the central controller of the nuclear pulse propulsion system can quickly control the "detonation" rhythm of the micro-yield nuclear fuel unit, and the acceleration of the Starship spacecraft will slowly slow down to a level acceptable to the astronauts.

However, after all, the acceleration is not small at this time, so the astronaut is not allowed to leave the safety device during the entire acceleration process.

"Guys, there's bad news for you." Arthas said with a wicked smile on his face from the central command center.

"You won't be allowed to leave your safety device for a long time to come." Alsace adjusted the pace of his speech and continued, "Thinking of technical limitations, once each subdivision of the nuclear fuel energy matrix is activated, it cannot be stopped. “

"So, in order to ensure everyone's safety, none of you are allowed to leave the safety device until all the 100,000 microequivalent nuclear fuel units in the first subdivided nuclear fuel energy matrix have been detonated."

"Oh, by the way, it's about an hour." Dean Alsace stressed again.

The people on the starship spaceship had a headache when they heard that the "Thai massage" lasted for an hour.

Fortunately, everyone has more or less undergone relevant training before departure, and they can overcome such a situation.

According to the plan, there will be three more such acceleration processes, each with an interval of half a day. The half-day interval between each time will be used as a time for everyone to recuperate, after all, no one's body can continue to resist excessive acceleration.

"Fortunately, this time it's just going to Mars, if we want to go on a farther interstellar trip, and accelerate to 10~20% of the speed of light in this way, do you think we will be pressed down on the safety device and never be able to get up again......"

Thinking of this, everyone has a feeling of eating soil.
