Volume 1 Alien Survival Chapter 3 Straw
The safety rope began to shrink, Su Zhao was pulled back to the hatch, before entering the cabin, he looked at the starry sky, found the direction of the Milky Way, looked at it for a long time, sighed silently, turned around and closed the hatch.
The prompt of "Isolation Cabin Pressurized ......" sounded, Su Zhao thought for a while and said, "Main engine, what is the air pressure balance threshold in the ship now?" What is the actual value of each class?"
"Air pressure preset: 60Kpa, the following is the actual value of each class: bridge 81kpa; Cargo compartment 62kpa; Warp engine bay 0.002kpa, fusion reaction chamber: 0.002kpa, channel: 63kpa............"
"Mainframe, adjust the preset value to 10kpa, turn off the air pressure automatic balance system." Su Zhao said: "Now I want to save every bit of resources, and the air pressure balance will be handed over to the protective clothing." The main engine, turn off all lighting effects, cut off the power supply of all inactive cabins, set the power of the fusion reactor to the minimum, turn off the communication system, and turn off all detectors outside the navigation mission. ”
"Clearance confirmed, orders accepted, Commander."
"I'm a commander now? It seems that the host has elevated my authority because of the emergency regulations, okay, now go and plan the route to Kuisu Jiu. With that, after the air pressure of the isolation cabin was balanced, Su Zhao opened the isolation cabin door and floated towards the bridge.
Returning to the bridge bridge, Su Zhao began to analyze the deep space exploration data: "Have you entered the star system, this star system is much larger than the solar system and the South Gate Erdu, is the main star a red giant?" Thirteen planets have been observed, as well as a number of giant planets. ”
"Host, retrieve planetary data, filter landable planets"
"The data is being processed, please ...... later Current models of star systems have been established and planetary data is being collected. ”
Estimated data collection time: 25 hours, 23 minutes, 45 seconds; Planning for the galaxy to enter orbit, optional orbit has been established, please select ......"
Several entry orbits that match the current ship's velocity appear on the screen, next to gravitational data for the galaxy and planets. The spacecraft needs to find the right orbit in these complex gravitational circles, and constantly orbit and derail to get into the orbit it wants to reach.
"The main engine, match the current spacecraft speed, choose the orbit with the least speed loss to enter, you don't need to stay in orbit, you can enter." Su Zhao knew that the injection fuel of conventional engines was limited, and staying in orbit required the spacecraft to slow down, which meant huge fuel consumption. If this fuel is exhausted, even if the warp engine can be repaired, the ship will only become space junk, unable to perform orbit change operations and planetary logins. Now the only way to do this is to enter the orbit of the star and then change orbit to land on the nearest suitable solid planet.
"The host reports on various energy reserves and establishes the optimal energy-saving plan."
"Current energy reserves: fusion feedstocks: 85%; Conventional engine fuel: 83%; Antimatter Energy Warehouse: 68%; Remaining gases: 94%; Nutrient reserves: 93%; Drinking water: 82%; Emergency power supply: 100%; …………”
"The energy-saving plan has been generated, and the implementation is ......"
"Orbit entry has been selected, estimated orbit entry time is 186 hours, 41 minutes and 23 seconds"
"It's good news that the ship's energy reserves are quite sufficient, and now it's time to wait for the planetary data collection to be completed and choose the nearest solid-state planet to log in. The conventional fuel left after decelerating into orbit may only be enough for the spacecraft to complete the disengagement procedure once in this star system, and the next planetary landing selection should be cautious and cautious, so difficult to do, you can only wait for the planetary data detection to be completed. ”
Su Zhao thought hard, deeply troubled by the problem of energy fuel and his own material reserves, as well as the problem of entering orbit, there was still an unknown planetary state waiting for him ahead, the Sirius was just a cargo landing ship, and it couldn't go to the low earth orbit of the gaseous planet to directly replenish materials and process reserves like those explorer-type big guys. Now we can only wait for the data to come out and fit the various consumption curves to come up with an optimal plan, and pray sincerely that there will be a suitable planet to land.
"Sirius, my beloved baby, it's up to you to survive this time!"
After thinking about it for a long time, I was pulled back from my thoughts by a wave of hunger, and the alarm sounded on the dripping of the protective suit, and then I noticed the hint of insufficient body nutrients. I pressed a few function buttons at hand, only to see a window open on the ground, and a mechanical platform rose rapidly.
On top of the platform are two cylindrical objects 20 centimeters long, one green and one white, and on the side are a tube of drinking water of the same size.
Su Zhao inserted two tubes of nutrients directly into the interface of his body, and the substances inside were quickly inhaled and transported to the inside of his body, and the internal circulation system of body fluids in his body also began to work, continuously delivering nutrients to the brain. He picked up the drinking water, plugged it into the helmet pipe connection, and took a big sip of the hose sticking out of his mouth.
"It still feels comfortable to drink water, and it doesn't feel at all when it is directly inserted into the body. I'm not one of those crazy people who have been modified to keep only their brains. "With the intake of nutrients, the number of body nutrients also began to rise. The brain has a sufficient supply of nutrients, and the sensory feedback mechanism of the cerebral cortex brings Su Zhao a little sleepiness.
Suddenly, after waking up, he experienced the stimulation of so many things, and the fatigue accumulated by the ups and downs of emotions hit like a tide, although the artificially made prosthetic limbs will not be tired and sore, but the human brain still can't stand up to such a long time of work and stimulation, Su Zhao only felt that the bursts of sleepiness tightly wrapped the brain, and his eyelids unconsciously began to fight, it seems that only a good sleep can persuade them to open.
"There's still a long time to collect data, let's go to sleep and wait, there's still a lot to do, and the status of the spacecraft hasn't been actually checked yet......." As he spoke, Su Zhao let out a long yawn and began to operate the wrist terminal to turn on the body's low-activity sleep mode. As the signal comes in, the sleep signal enters his cerebral cortex through neural links, the level of brain activity begins to decrease, the respiratory and fluid circulation system also switches to low-power mode, the lights on the body are turned off, and the inside of the helmet is adjusted to a suitable temperature to give the user a better sleeping environment.
"Host, switch to fully automatic sailing mode, wake me up after the planetary data collection is completed." After giving the order, Su Zhao closed his eyes, opened the helmet shading layer, sat in the driver's seat, fixed his posture and fell asleep safely.
Sirius glowed in the empty sky, the particles ejected by the thrusters, and the ship adjusted its attitude and headed for a predetermined orbit. With the starry sky as the background, the spaceship doesn't seem to be advancing. Only by referring to the star system in front of it can you see that the ship is indeed moving slowly, and a long band of light blue light emerges from the back of the ship, which has a different kind of beauty, and under the action of thrusters and stellar gravity, it is approaching each other in a huge way towards the interior of the hope galaxy.
After 25 hours.
"The current star system planet data collection is complete and is in the process of matching the preset orbits......"
"The planets have been named automatically, and the current preset orbit of each planet is being calculated in the login window......"
"Filter Confirmed: Nearest Landing Planet Screened Completed"
"Unknown Planet: Orbit Window Appears: 237 Hours Post-Orbit Window: 47 Hours Estimated Number of Orbit Changes9; The landing plan has been generated, waiting for confirmation by the commander. The Commander is about to wake up. ”
Su Zhao, who was sleeping, gradually woke up under the stimulation of the signal, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the confirmation information of the planetary landing plan, and immediately carefully checked the relevant data.
"The maximum change in planetary surface temperature is estimated in the range of 187 K to 494 K; level of planetary activity - stable; Planet average radius: 13475km, observable atmospheric thickness: ~4300km; Signs of liquid water activity have been detected on the planet's surface, and atmospheric composition is to be determined......"
"Great, it's a loggable planet! Sirius, I love you to death! The orbit entry window appears 237 hours later? Now we have to calculate the landing orbit of this planet! ”
Su Zhao almost jumped up excitedly, but quickly suppressed his excitement, thought for a while, and began to issue navigation instructions: "Host, name the planet as: Straw, cancel the current navigation mission, and match the fastest navigation plan to establish an orbit to Straw Star during the orbit window!" ”
"No, combined with the fuel consumption curve! Choose the option with the lowest fuel consumption! ”
Su Zhao was so excited that he almost forgot to save fuel, if the spacecraft forcibly slowed down into orbit, God knows how much fuel it would consume.
The command has been accepted and the orbit is being calculated...... In the optimization of the gravitational slingshot effect, the orbit entry scheme has been generated...... The program conditions have been optimized: the estimated orbit time is 249 hours, and it will enter the far-earth orbit of the Straw Star. The number of track changes is 7, and the forward line obstacle: none; Estimated fuel consumption: 18%, ask the commander to confirm the mission. ”
"The voyage mission is confirmed, and the mission target is Straw Star." Su Zhao quickly confirmed to the host that this planet meant his lifesaver, and he was a traveler who was shipwrecked in the voyage.
Sirius turned on its ion engine again in space, slowly adjusting its flight attitude, and the corresponding booster nozzle output power was significantly increased, dragging a blue band of light behind the ship. The ship's engines roared silently, defying the constraints of the gravitational pull of various stars, and freely ran towards the orbit of its target, unstoppable.
Su Zhao on the bridge was thinking about the next step, but he had never been in deep space, and he lacked experience in this area. I could only call up the deep space distress checklist of the spacecraft host and start to refer to it, but I could only smile helplessly when I saw the last distress signals and the way to call for help, who can he send his signals to, alien life?
"Now I can only follow the guidance to manually check the status of each compartment of the spacecraft to see what equipment I can use now. Warp engine repairs are also a big problem, but now they can't be taken care of. The antimatter reactor was also damaged, now go and see the situation, but it shouldn't be a big problem that it hasn't exploded until now. Su Zhao thought about it, and suddenly remembered one thing, he didn't know what the cargo he was transporting this time was, because this time it was a cross-star voyage mission, and it was also a confidential cargo with a very high reward, and the voyage mission was also directly connected to the host to be released. Before the elevation of authority, he was only a second-level authority navigator, and he did not even have access to the warehouse.
"Let me be healthy, what good things are being transported this time, maybe it can help a lot." After the acceleration of the spacecraft was completed, Su Zhao untied the connection with the driver's seat and began to walk towards the spaceship's cargo hold.
