The Xinghai spacecraft is very large, with a total length of more than 200 meters and a height of almost 40 meters. There are many uneven places where many detection and observation instruments are installed, and high-power, high-sensitivity antennas for communication with the earth are also installed there.

The total mass of this spacecraft is more than 200,000 tons. Such a large spaceship can only accommodate the next person. It's not that human civilization doesn't want to send a few more astronauts and Wei Feng with them, the key point is that for every additional person, there must be an additional person's life reserves, food, drinking water, oxygen, temperature control equipment, and energy supply including hibernation tanks need to be doubled. This is beyond the reach of the existing technology of human civilization, so, after many trade-offs, human civilization finally made the decision to send an astronaut to the South Gate II system.

Although this decision greatly increases the risk - after all, when a person is alone for a long time, there will always be many psychological or physical accidents - but human civilization has to take this risk, and human civilization must compromise with reality.

In the planning of human civilization, the entire island project is divided into two parts, one of which is naturally the Xinghai spaceship, which is controlled by Wei Feng, and the other part is located in the solar system. This section consists of a research institute located above Earth and eight large antennas located outside the orbit of Mars. Each of the eight large antennas is more than 200 meters in diameter, and they orbit the sun at a steady speed, with at least four antennas aimed in the direction of the spacecraft at any given moment. If there is any indication from the earth, people will use these antennas to communicate with Weifeng. At the same time, the signals sent back by Weifeng will also be received by these eight large antennas.

Wei Feng knew that after the launch of the Xinghai spacecraft, these antennas were the only link between himself and human civilization.

After a series of elaborate ceremonies. Wei Feng finally entered the Star Ocean spaceship and came to the control cabin. The control pod is designed to resemble a conference room, with a chair in the middle and a console in front of the chair. Weifeng will use this console and the artificial intelligence "Leaf Fall" to control the entire ship.

Ye Luo's voice is designed to be neutral and inaudible, just like the voices of young men and women who have not yet undergone a period of voice change. After Wei Feng sat in his place, Ye Luo's voice came: "Captain." Please place your order. ”

"Let's go." Wei Feng Muran said.

"Okay." Ye Luo replied, "I have received the navigation parameters sent by Jupiter Harbor, and I will control the spacecraft to leave Jupiter next." ”

Wei Feng felt a slight vibration, and then a force pressed himself against the back of his chair. This force was not too big, so Wei Feng got used to the existence of this force after a while. Wei Feng knew that this was because of the overload pressure brought by the spacecraft's acceleration. If there are no accidents, this pressure will continue for three months, and after three months of continuous and uninterrupted acceleration, the speed of the Xinghai spacecraft will rise to 3,000 kilometers per second. It then stops accelerating and enters the inertial phase of sailing, and it is not until hundreds of years later that the main engine starts again.

The Xinghai spacecraft has its own artificial gravity system, of course, for the current human civilization, anti-gravity technology is still in fantasy, and the artificial gravity on the Xinghai spacecraft is created by self-rotation. But this leads to a very strange phenomenon. Whether Wei Feng looked to the left or right, he could see a wall with a clear arc, extending all the way to the top of his head. Then close there. There was also a table overhead, which was Wei Feng's entertainment station. There are some devices there for Wei Feng to pass the time. The devices sat unsecured on the table above Wei Feng's head, but they wouldn't fall off.

If Wei Feng wanted to go there, he just had to walk along the wall all the way there. When Wei Feng Chu Hai and the others first saw the Xinghai spaceship, Chu Hai summed up the situation in a very concise sentence: "It's like we live in a steel pipe, and every pipe wall of the steel pipe has a gravity equivalent to that on the earth. ”

This is the spectacle of artificial gravity created by self-rotation.

After the ship launched, Wei Feng left his seat. Walked to the front of the communication desk. During the walk, Wei Feng had to lean his body forward a little to resist the ubiquitous inertial force of acceleration, as if he were standing on a bus in the process of acceleration.

The news station still shows the scene of the press conference in the port of Jupiter. The Führer held a grand press conference there, informing the entire human civilization of the events related to the voyage of the Xinghai spacecraft. Follow the release process that has been laid out in advance, after the ship is launched. It's time for Wei Feng, who is in the spaceship, to say something.

Wei Feng stood in front of the communication station, and the people in Jupiter Harbor saw Wei Feng with a serious expression and no smile on the big screen. Everyone quieted down and waited for Wei Feng to say something, Wei Feng had also prepared a draft and planned to say some heroic words to stimulate the blood in people's hearts, but those words Wei Feng suddenly couldn't speak.

After a long silence, Wei Feng said, "My compatriots...... See you in nine hundred years. I will definitely return as promised, and bring a gift from the South Gate Two Galaxy to our human civilization. ”

900 years ...... It was a long and somewhat hopeless length of time. Except for Wei Feng, everyone present would not live to that time. For them, this is the last time they see Wei Feng, and for Wei Feng, it is the last time they see them.

The previous warm atmosphere was washed away by Wei Feng's words, and disappeared without a trace. Even the smiling Führer began to fall silent. Because everybody knows what 900 years really means.

In the silence, Wei Feng held back the tears that were about to flow from his eyes, and continued in a thick nasal voice: "I'm leaving, I hope everyone takes care." ”

"You have to take care too." As if telling a child who is about to leave home, the Führer said, "Go out...... Be careful with everything. It's no better outside than at home, and you must put yourself first when you encounter anything, don't take risks, as long as you can come back well. ”

Wei Feng nodded heavily: "Please rest assured, I will definitely come back safely!" ”

The Führer solemnly raised his right hand, raised it all the way to his eyebrows, and saluted Wei Feng with a standard military salute. With the Führer's movements, everyone present also raised their hands at the same time. Wei Feng held back his tears, stood in front of the communication station, and returned a standard military salute.

"Goodbye, then."

"Goodbye."

The communication station turned off, and Wei Feng left the place, coming to the porthole of the spaceship, quietly looking at the huge gaseous planet in the distance, and the small black dots that swirled around it.

The Xinghai spacecraft has been accelerating, and in Wei Feng's eyes, Jupiter's shrinkage rate has also been accelerating. Until Jupiter turned into a point of light, and the details could no longer be distinguished. At this moment, five days had passed since Wei Feng left Jupiter Harbor. At this moment, Jupiter is the second brightest star in Weifeng's field of vision, the first bright star is the Sun, and the third bright star is Uranus.

When Wei Feng passed by the orbit of Uranus, the people in the Uranus base sent dozens of spaceships to escort the Xinghai spacecraft, and followed Wei Feng for millions of kilometers before gradually retreating. When passing by Neptune's orbit, although Neptune had already orbited far away from Weifeng at this moment, the people of the Neptune base still sent more than a dozen spaceships to escort Weifeng, and they also followed Weifeng for millions of kilometers. When it came to Pluto's orbit, although Pluto was still far away from Wei Feng at the moment, Wei Feng still saw the escort spacecraft sent by the Pluto base waiting for him next to his forward orbit. It's just that there are even fewer of them, only seven.

When passing through the orbit of the Ether, the people of the Etheria base sent a spaceship, and when passing by the Saidna base, Wei Feng only received a message full of blessings, but never saw the escort ship again.

Just like the borders of ancient empires, the closer you get to the borders, the weaker the civilization's control becomes. This is the boundary of the solar system, and no one usually comes here except for scientific research needs. It's desolate, cold, lonely, and inhospitable. And such a place is only the starting point of Weifeng's journey.

Further away from the Saidna base, there are several research bases, and those bases are even smaller, and some of them don't even have permanent personnel, just some automatic working instruments there. But contrary to Wei Feng's expectations, no matter whether there are staff in the base or not, no matter how far Wei Feng is from their base, when Wei Feng passes through their orbit, Wei Feng will receive a sincere blessing.

But after Weifeng was farther away from the sun, there were no more blessings. There are no longer any large-scale bases here, only some probes launched by human civilization that are constantly moving away from the sun.

Wei Feng knew that he had reached the edge of the solar circle, and it would not be long before he would officially leave the solar system. Wei Feng looked back and saw that the sun was still bright, but Wei Feng could no longer find the essential difference between it and the rest of the stars. (To be continued......)
