Verse 8: The more you wear, the right of the maid to enforce the law (II)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Half a month ago, the "Zavijah" aerospace research base was immediately closed to the entrance and exit of the track in the Ruhr industrial zone, and the space connection was set up at the "St. GSG" branch in Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia. For the staff of the base, this is a higher level of life support provided by the government, and for the "right law enforcement" base itself, it means the end of its sixteen-year exile, officially recognized by the Interstellar Brigade E - which is the interstellar project of the Federal Republic of Germany.

If it weren't for the postponement of the performance of "Bran's Poetry" at the Dortmund Concert Hall, the original day of returning to the base would not have been too early or late, just in time for the bloody catastrophe. In retrospect, Orff could only thank the goddess of fate for her favor, not only allowing him to save his life, but also allowing his team members to take a temporary vacation due to the absence of the person in charge, and finally survived. The long-awaited "Virgo 70b Immigration Aptitude Test" and a series of related programs have not been affected, which is of course a blessing in misfortune for the E-United German Brigade and the whole of Germany, but for everyone who is about to leave for the blonde girl, is it really good luck?

No one can say for sure until they return to Earth safely.

In the majestic gun salute of the sentinel guards along the way, a convoy composed of five "SmartIII" land, sea and air amphibious assault vehicles carried Orff and his entourage to the Düsseldorf branch of St. GSG, and completed the helicopter mode switch on a large take-off and landing platform in the open field in the center of the electromagnetic air defense zone, and flew to the "Weistian Land" at an altitude of 3,600 meters above the ground. Unlike Wyss Airport, 80 kilometers north of Düsseldorf and accommodating low-cost airlines from European countries, the Westland Skyland, which integrates many modern cutting-edge technologies, was built in 2030 and uses the principle of anti-gravity balance to become the world's first sky-high land completely suspended in the air.

As Dr. Orff's wife and daughter reacted unwell to the sudden rise in altitude, Gross adjusted the pressure and oxygen levels inside the car in advance, and kept an eye on maintaining them at normal levels. As long as the "SmartIII" does not leave the vehicle under the seat that remains isolated from the outside world, the low-pressure environment and rarefied air of West Sky Land will not affect the human body.

Branagh, who had never been on any type of plane before, was not scared at all, but was very excited from beginning to end, pointing to the various star training facilities and equipment passing by the window, and asked Dad what it was for, is this a fun playground? Two years ago, Orff learned about the existence of West Sky Land through Lufthansa's Fallen Leaf advertisement[3], and participated in the airline's special sightseeing program open to high-level government and military officials. However, when he said the bold play of this master, he quickly attracted the eyes of Colein Mireya to stop him: What is wrong with you playing with your daughter, why do you teach her such a dangerous sport!

It seems that no matter what the circumstances, the child cannot be handed over to a man to take over, because the father of the whole world is the same unreliable in this matter, regardless of race and national boundaries......

Shortly after, "SmartIII" made its way through the warped space to the entrance and exit of the base, waiting for the new-new metal gate in front of it to slowly open. With the lesson of the last blood, this time the security checkpoint of the courtyard has set up a triple detection device for heat, heartbeat, and electromagnetic waves, just to ensure that no fly can slip in under the nose.

After many years, when Colein Miraya set foot on the "Right Law Enforcement" base again, it was already full of people. None of the staff members who came and went in front of him recognized him, and the smile that nodded and greeted him was all aimed at her husband Orff. However, walking into the Sub-Light Speed Eight Times Power Propulsion Research Institute, Clein Mireya soon heard a familiar voice, attacking with that signature ranged roar: "Hey! You bunnies, who put two boxes of eggs in the thermostat of my spaceship?! ”

"Sebastian[4]......"

Colein Mireya didn't expect that she would be able to see the old captain again, and she was pleasantly surprised and went over to give him a long-lost hug: "When I left, weren't you already retiring?" Sebastian was carrying a cardboard box full of eggshells and chicken feces on the left and right, and he couldn't find a place to put his hands for a while, so he could only keep his posture open, and he was very helpless about the sudden cordial greeting: "Belinda...... You—You're back? Hearing this, Clein Mireya stepped back to her husband's side, took Brana's hand, and her smile overflowed with happiness that anyone could see: "Well, I'm back with my daughter and Carl's!" ”

“Oh，peace&love.” Sebastian looked at Orff incredulously, although he had persuaded him more than once to find his wife, but he didn't know that they had already crystallized love, and they were such a cute little girl? This luck of buying big and getting small away is really gratifying and unexpected. As the focus of everyone's attention at this moment, Branah only cared about the incomprehensible doubts in his heart: "Bearded grandpa, why can't there be eggs here?" ”

One sentence brought back Sebastian's forgotten anger, but in front of the innocent child, he really couldn't raise his voice, so he had to suppress his resentment against the culprit and explain it kindly: "Because some eggs hatch chicks under temperature, and we are not a chicken farm here." ”

With his understanding of his teammates, Orff immediately thought of who did the good deeds, and Doppler [5], who was in charge of the research on the sustainable cultivation of alien food crops, once had a dream to establish a ranch and breeding farm of his own on the blonde girl...... Thanks to the fact that he did not steal the cows, sheep and other cubs into the spaceship, otherwise, the old captain, who was nearly seventy years old, chose to delay his retirement in order to personally pilot the "Planck" to safely deliver the crew members of the immigration test program to Virgo 70b, and his bulging belly would have to be angry.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, most of the team members were exercising in the indoor activity field configured by the Institute of Power Propulsion, Orff reasonably changed the topic, first introduced his wife and daughter to them, and officially informed all colleagues that Klyin Mireia, who returned to the "Right Law Enforcement" scientific research base, will participate in all the plans as a member of the project team in the future.

He is the youngest visiting professor in the history of "Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Europe", a distinguished expert in the field of botany of the E-Liande Brigade, and one of the first leaders of the alien plant cultivation and soil environment transformation project...... As early as ten years ago, he had such a wealth of experience and honors, which was enough for the current members of the project team to applaud warmly for the seniors to join, and came to shake hands with them one by one. From their self-introductions, Clein Mireya also learned about each person's interests and specific jobs.

In addition to Doppler, who can be regarded as a peer, the alien scientific research project team codenamed "Blonde Girl", the male members also include Dr. Dietma [6], who is engaged in human microbial research and alien disease prevention and control, Gort[7], who is engaged in the research of alien energy and metals, and [Israel], who is responsible for the maintenance of artificial intelligence machinery in the colony [8]. The female members included Dietma's daughter, Dietrind,[9] who was in charge of medical care, Josephine, a pharmacist,[10], and Martha, who was not present at the scene, and Martha, who was in charge of the aggregation and transmission of all relevant electronic data. Together with Orff, the leader of the project team, and the new Koleinmilia, there are a total of nine people.

The crew of the "Planck", which is about to depart for Virgo 70b with the "Blonde Girl" alien research project team, consists of Sebastian, who is known as the "old captain", as the captain, and the "first mate" Hewitt [11] as the first officer, with two mechanical engineers and four operators of the starship and its affiliated starships, a total of eight people.

In addition, the full-time escort team of the "St. GSG" of the E-United German Brigade accompanied the "Blonde Girl" alien scientific research project to land in Room Virgo 70b and carry out relevant adaptation tests, with Gross as the captain and Noah as the vice-captain, led eight mobile team members, a total of ten people.

As far as the eye can see, the "Planck", which is in the final stage of calibration and commissioning in the Power Propulsion Research Institute, is not as cool and gorgeous as in modern science fiction movies, but looks very simple and simple, and even some are not worthy of the popular title of "starship". In order to achieve an initial velocity of sub-light [12] and not damage the internal structure due to mass changes caused by velocity, the Planck was finally designed as a cone, with a bottom diameter of 1,960 meters, and eight ion thrusters. It is 3,920 meters high from the apex to the bottom, containing 12 electromagnetic steering devices, all over the surface and in all directions, and there are also four "Zug" class carrier starships inside.

In order to commemorate the German Max Planck, who is known as "the two most important physicists of the twentieth century" and "an important founder of modern physics" along with Albert Einstein, the first epoch-making starship was named "MKELP", that is, the acronym of "Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck". As a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918, his quantum theory and Planck's law of radiation have undoubtedly made far-reaching and great contributions to future interstellar voyages.

Half a month later, on October 2, the day before Germany's National Day, the "Planck" will be launched electromagnetically through the giant railgun [13] erected in the Blonde Maiden Field, and will be sent directly into space through the "Scythe" stargate, like a high-speed rotating warhead, from the predetermined position of the Virgo galaxy about 3.6 light-years away from Virgo 70b straight to the target, using space warping technology to shorten the voyage, and the final arrival is expected to take four months.

After approaching Virgo 70b and successfully capturing its gravity, Planck, without take-off and landing, will continue to orbit the planet, while non-crew members will land on the Blonde Maiden Star aboard the Zug spacecraft, piloted by St. GSG soldiers. Once the immigration suitability test is complete, the Planck will return with the rest of the crew, and without the magnetic track acceleration, the starship will only be able to travel at a maximum speed of 60 percent of the speed of light, a process that will take eight months.

In other words, excluding the time spent back and forth, the exact length of time spent in the Blonde Girl Star by the Alien Research Project Team is only two years, and the rest of the days are spent in spaceships......

The journey to another planet is long and always unsettling. However, this is not the first time that the Planck has carried people to Virgo 70b, and the relevant theories and technologies have long been mature, so there is no need to worry about safety. Although most of the colonies on the destination planet were built by artificial intelligence machines, the members of the Saint GSG who delivered the first materials and equipment there were the first otherworldly pioneers to leave human footprints on the blonde girl star, when they braved the high temperatures of more than 120 degrees Celsius on the planet to carry out environmental modification work, and shouldered all the unknown difficulties and dangers for future generations.

Today, the Blonde Girl Star colony has a well-developed terrestrial ecosystem, including local gravity, air pressure, temperature, humidity, oxygen levels, artificial sunlight, and improved soil suitable for cultivating Earth's plants, all of which are related to human survival on the alien planet, contained in a huge arc-shaped space cover with a radius of 20 square kilometers. Beyond this barrier known as "Ilisia[14]" is an alien wasteland seven times the gravity of the Earth, where the entire world is left with no water and no grass.

After taking his wife and daughter to meet with everyone, Orff led them to the family area on the third floor of the base. At the door of the room with the name "Sebastian", I saw a little girl about seven or eight years old, looking downstairs through the tempered glass guardrail in the corridor in front of her, holding the big yellow duck doll designed by the Dutch artist Florence Hoffmann in the shape of a classic bathtub yellow duck boy, but her expression was extremely lonely.

Orff did not stop unconsciously because only he knew that the girl in front of him was the poor child who had lost both parents in the attack on the base, Garcia[15]. Due to her background and the special nature of what happened to her, the E-Liande Brigade rejected her aunt's request for adoption, and only searched for a suitable family among the base's internal staff, and finally chose the old captain who had been familiar with the child's parents to take care of her. Now, the child's name has been changed to Garcia Sebastian.

Aside from Sebastian, who she calls "Grandpa", Garcia never speaks to anyone in the base. Just when Orff didn't know whether to say hello, Branagh saw the little yellow duck in the arms of the young lady, and immediately became interested, and actually walked forward directly and reached out to touch it, which attracted a dissatisfied side look after Garcia reacted.

"Won't your duck move?"

Garcia looked at Branah out of nowhere, thinking that this guy must be a fool, but she didn't respond with any words. Branagh didn't get a reply, but it didn't affect her mood to talk to herself, and she took out a yellow furry thing from the front pocket of her stomach, held it in front of Garcia and said, "You see I can move!" ”

Belch...... Seeing this, Colein Mireya was suddenly a little confused, and the other person was obviously not lightly treated by Branare, although she didn't want to deal with her, but there was a sentence "Are you a duck obviously a chicken?"

"It looks like your duck."

"Where's the same? My mouth ...... Oh no, my duck beak is flat, and yours duck ...... Hey, no, your has a pointed mouth! ”

"But real ducks move."

“……”

Jiaxia, who has rarely communicated with people in recent times, was dumbfounded by Branagh's unusually serious expression in just a few words, Orff and Colein Mireya listened to it in the back, and couldn't help but laugh quietly, it seems that they can have a lot of common topics in the future, as long as Jiaxia doesn't think her daughter is stupid and has a lot of problems.

The two little girls, who are not much older than each other, only took less than half an hour to get acquainted with each other. Branah has friends in his new surroundings, and Garcia has regained her smile. Orff had no reason to object to his daughter's adoption of the chicks in the family area, and agreed to lend her to Garcia to feed them for two days, but Sebastian, who had just arrested all the chickens scattered around the "Planck" and sent them all out of the base, almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he returned to his bedroom...... There's one more here?! How did it flow over, not to mention, the key is that this fish that slipped through the net has been spoiled by the granddaughter he recognizes, so he jumped on the bed without saying anything, and took his pillow towel to build a nest......

In the days that followed, Branagh, Garcia and the little chicks were "Qiang Qiang threesomes" everywhere they went, eating together and visiting together, and the "Right Law Enforcement" base was obviously a lot more joyful than before. For the sake of its effective treatment of his granddaughter's psychological trauma, Sebastian gradually accepted this little pet who had made meritorious contributions.

A week before departure, Dr. Dieterma's medical R&D team sent a human medical nanobot that had just been successfully produced, and it was implanted by Dietlinde into each member who was about to go to an alien life, which can effectively repair the body functions affected by environmental changes, take over the immune system, resist most known diseases, and theoretically even annihilate cancer cells that have not yet spread, nipped the incurable diseases that plague mankind in the bud. The only drawback is that it is only valid for two years, and there is no extra spare at this stage.

Celein Mireia, who is no longer a single mother, has been actively training during this time, trying to restore her physical function to the best condition, because she does not want to stay in the gravity steady-state module like other family members during the spaceflight, after all, she is now a member of the alien research project team, and there are many things that she needs to contribute to the best of her ability.

All preparations were well underway, and Martha, Orff's biggest fear, returned to work on the last day of September. According to the regulations of the United German Brigade E, all non-military personnel involved in the alien landing must bring all immediate family members between the ages of 5 and 65 to go with them, and Branagh happened to be among them, while Martha's parents, who were not more than fifty years old, did not need to accompany them, because one of them was a senior military officer of the United German Brigade E, and the other was a "royal" gold medal lawyer who served well-known people in the government and business circles.

Martha, who was accustomed to all kinds of privileges, could have been exempted from going to live as a blonde girl star through her father's connections, but she insisted on going, and since returning to the base, she has behaved differently from the past, no longer pestering Orff, nor deliberately trying to embarrass Colein Mirea and Branagh, at most she is just a stranger. In this regard, everyone only thought that she finally understood what it meant to be interesting, and Orff, who was afraid that she would destroy the family harmony, was finally relieved......

On October 2, 2036, all the employees of the "Right Law Enforcement" scientific research base gathered at the Blonde Maiden's Field to see off the 27 protagonists and their heroic families who are about to make history today.

The giant railgun that undertook the launch mission was successfully docked with the "Planck" yesterday, and the busy staff of the blonde maiden farm are doing the final inspection and commissioning. The starship crew and the people of the St. GSG escort have long been accustomed to the big scene, and the members of the "blonde girl" alien research project team standing and waiting on the high connection platform are more or less nervous, after all, this is not a plane to travel, but to the no-fly zone of all human pride and arrogance - the universe. As Sebastian, the old captain who steers everyone's sails, said: there, the so-called power and technology of human beings are just an insignificant layer of plastic wrap. The only thing we can do is try not to decay too quickly, both human and mechanical.

Orff had to admit that this is true at the current level of exploration of the universe. Everything we know, laws, and experiences, like the matter we can see, make up less than 5 percent of the universe. All the remaining unknowns like dark matter are worthy of our curiosity in the hope of becoming more and more powerful, but even more worthy of our awe in the midst of being so small at the moment.

The blonde girl field reminds the internal large screen and voice system synchronously, all instruments and equipment are normal, and the final launch procedure is about to start, please be sure to evacuate within 10 minutes for unrelated personnel. The shaking sensation of the platform starting to run irritated everyone's nerves, and after kissing his daughter Dietlinde's forehead, Dietma moved to the front of the line, in his opinion, he was the oldest, and he should lead everyone out of their inner fears.

Coleinmirea led Branagh and Garcia from left to right, but she didn't see any uneasiness or fear in them, and the chick in her daughter's arms was about to become the first non-human animal to climb 70b in Virgo. In order to pay tribute to the first Earth creature to fly into space and the great space dog in human history, the former Soviet stray dog "Laika", Kolein Mireya specially asked Branagh to name it "Laika".

Blessed by the goddess of fate, I hope that its end will not be as tragic as Laika, who died in all kinds of pain for the sake of mankind's space dream...... I also hope that everyone who embarks on the interstellar journey will eventually be able to return safely.

The crew of the "Planck" was in place, the members of the "Golden-haired Girl" alien scientific research project team and their families had also completed boarding, and the full-time escort team of the "St. GSG" collectively saluted the German flag hoisted in the field. After they also set foot on the starship, the blonde maiden field will be closed to the outside world, and with the opening of the "sickle" stargate, it will be quickly sucked into a vacuum, and the black, red and gold tricolor flag will also break away from the boom and swim into the vast sea of stars with its own honor to continue to flutter. This is a routine that the "right law enforcement" scientific research base must carry out every time it carries a person through the star gate.

"The blonde girl's field closed test is over, and the isolation state is 100 percent. With the authorization of the highest person in charge of the base, the outer layer of the stargate, 'The Sickle', was opened...... "Now, only the staff of the observation room outside the blonde maiden field can hear the intelligent prompt sound in the ear drum, and in order not to cause electromagnetic interference during the launch process, all communication equipment and electronic instruments of the "Planck" are turned off. When the middle and inner layers of the "Scythe" star gate were completely opened, there was no longer any medium for sound transmission in the blonde girl field where the national flag had been lost, and the entire space was as silent as a black hole in front of her, and I believe that no one wanted to feel it personally. "The railgun angle confirms that the atomic energy reserve state is 90 percent, it is at a critical point, the power supply system is normal, there is no magnetic field interference around, and it can be launched."

“Good luck...”

The top person in charge of the base took a deep breath, pulled down the safety gate, and pressed down six palm-sized buttons with biometric functions in a specific order. The Planck disappeared from the crew's field of vision at a speed that the naked eye had no time to react, without the shock wave of the launch, nor any smoke or dust, and the whole process was unusually calm, as if nothing had happened......

[3] Deciduous Leaf Advertisement: In 2015, in order to encourage consumers to go to Florida in autumn and winter to seek sunshine, Lufthansa cleverly used the scattered fallen leaves as a communication medium to convey its brand message with the help of the power of nature. This was a classic "deciduous advertisement" that later became the Lufthansa logo, which was used from time to time to promote new projects.

[12] Sub-light speed: Sub-light speed refers to a speed close to the speed of light. When an object has a velocity greater than 90% of the speed of light but less than the speed of light, we call its velocity at sub-light. That is to say, the sub-light speed is less than the speed of light 299792458m/s, and greater than 270000000m/s.

[13] Railgun: Also known as a magnetic railgun, it is an advanced kinetic lethal weapon made using electromagnetic emission technology. Unlike traditional cannons, which act on the projectile with gunpowder gas pressure, railguns use the force of electromagnetic fields in electromagnetic systems to greatly increase the speed and range of the projectile.
