Chapter 2 Goodbye, Nyx!
July 15 is a very special day. X
Yu Yifeng got up anxiously before six o'clock, and at this moment, he was as calm as he was with a trace of apprehension in his heart.
He is not the only one who can't sleep, but many more academics, technicians, engineers, and so on......
Everyone on the Noah has a great vision for the days to come.
Today is the day when the "Deep Space" departs, and it is the first step for mankind to officially enter the interstellar space!
"Alright, Captain Deep Space, take it easy...... It's going to be fine. ”
Yuriko said softly with a smile on her face.
She carefully buttoned every button on Yu Yifeng's clothes, patted his collar again, and patted the folds flat.
At the same time, she also changed into a beautiful set of work clothes for herself, looked at the mirror, and stroked her hair slightly.
The two walked out of the room one after the other.
Yu Yifeng pulled her, still thinking about his own affairs in his head.
He asked, "The aftermath of the lizard natives is done, right?" Did anything go wrong? ”
I have to say that Yu Yifeng is really a bit of a virgin......
This group of lizard natives has always been quite obedient, and they have been working for humans for so long, and even for several generations!
They have contributed a lot to the "Deep Space", but they have a bit of a "own people" meaning.
Now that the human race is gone, these natives don't know what will go wrong.
Yuriko said indifferently: "You have asked this matter many times...... All land division reforms have been completed. Some of our remaining factories have been divided, and the lizard currency has been recycled and exchanged for supplies. ”
"We've done what needs to be done, and what will happen next, we can't predict."
"For the rest, hundreds or thousands of years of social evolution, always depend on themselves...... Whether they can break through to the interstellar civilization and whether they will perish in the future depends only on them...... You can't let us do everything, can we? Do you want to build a spaceship for them and help them break through the big filter? ”
"That's just as well!" Yu Yifeng smiled.
He only sighed slightly, and then stopped thinking about it.
Humans have only used up 20% of the combustible ice that is easy to mine on the planet Nix, and left 80% for the lizards, and it is still difficult to say whether they can become an interstellar civilization in the end.
“…… The probability is very low. ”
Yu Yifeng shook his head, he knew the terrible ...... of the "big filter"
7:30 a.m.
At this time, all parts of the spacecraft, including thousands of scientists, scholars, technicians, engineers, etc., were already sitting at their respective posts, ready to go.
Yu Yifeng and some of the main project leaders gathered in the captain's room in front, ready to give orders.
The remaining hundreds of thousands of people were asked to stay in the Noah's residential area and were not allowed to move around at will.
Fortunately, the facilities inside are very complete, and you can clearly see the entire take-off process of the spacecraft.
In more than 160 years, the population of the entire new human civilization has increased to 730,000.
I have to say...... This number is seriously lower than expected!
The main reason is because of the continuous increase in lifespan!
The research and development of a large number of biological technologies has increased the life expectancy of the human body, but directly reduced the birth rate of the population. In the past, 25 to 30 years could add a generation, but now it is generally delayed to 60 years.
Because life expectancy has increased, people generally do not like to marry and have children too early.
Some people don't even think about starting a family at the age of 100...... Yes, a hundred years old is still a young man.
The government is not likely to interfere too much in such human rights matters...... No matter how much encouragement you encourage, you can't force you to get married and have children.
Fortunately, more than 100 years ago, the "brain chip" was born, which made fundamental changes in human intelligence and related industrial structures. Even if the population is a little smaller, as long as the quality is high enough, there is no big problem.
There are so many benefits of brain chips......
"Pedal, pedal, pedal!" A neat string of steps came from a distance, it was an army in power armor. These servicemen were required to be distributed in all corners of the spacecraft to carry out security duties.
As the minutes passed, everyone's hearts began to be slightly nervous, this was the first time to sail such a long distance, although it was ...... Humanity is indeed well prepared.
At eight o'clock in the morning, as soon as the time came, Yu Yifeng immediately announced: "I order, Deep Space will start the flight mode!" ”
"Captain's order, Deep Space activates flight mode!"
The machinery was running, and soon, the various mounts around the ship were recovered, and the entire ship took on its final sailing attitude. Because it has been experimented with many times, there is nothing wrong with this step.
"I order, the ship's engine system starts, and the countdown is ten seconds."
"Captain's order, the ship's engine system starts, and the countdown is ten seconds!"
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"
As the last second passes, the main reactors in the entire spacecraft are simultaneously discharged, and some of the high-temperature plasma sputtered out will be directly generated by the magnetofluid generator and the steam turbine, and the other part will be sprayed backwards through the engine as the propulsion force of the spacecraft.
Due to the sheer size and mass of the spacecraft, the acceleration will normally be within 0.5 meters per square second, so the acceleration process will be very long.
With such a large spaceship, it is impossible to be as simple and rough as the Noah in the past.
But now, Deep Space needs to be faster to break free from the gravitational pull of Knicks.
For this nascent ship, it was the first challenge.
Yu Yifeng said in a loud voice: "Start the auxiliary engine power system and increase the speed of leaving the Knicks Star!" Increase the power of the main engine! ”
"Captain's order, activate the auxiliary engine power system and increase the propulsion of the main engine at the same time!"
A strange little sun appeared above the planet Nix, and powerful jets of light pierced through the thick cloud of volcanic dust.
Half of the planet was illuminated by the sun, and daylight that had never been seen before appeared at this moment, and the native lizards on the surface cheered loudly and feverishly...... They have witnessed this godlike process with their own eyes.
"Report to the captain! The total power is increased by 537%, and the nuclear explosion reactor is working normally! The main engine is working fine! The sub-engine is working fine! ”
Since a large amount of data popped up in the display screen, Yu Yifeng knew that this voyage was likely to be successful.
As the huge spaceship accelerated more and more, after a circle and a half around the planet, it finally broke free of gravity and gradually left the planet.
Everyone looked at the big screen in front of them, and there ...... It is a Knicks star that accepts humans in the dark universe.
It is bleak, dull, and inconspicuous.
Humanity is leaving, and I don't know if it will come back.
Everyone was a little sad, and even old people such as Zhao Yao and Xu Yunjin couldn't help but start wiping away their tears.
Every old man of the first generation remembers the time when he was adrift in the universe...... During that time, humanity lacked resources, feared, and feared flying forever in the empty universe...... Until perdition.
It was the lovely Knicks who accepted humanity and made humanity go further with a broad mind.
Humans once hated her for being dark and barren, but she didn't dislike humanity.
With the nuclear explosion reactor on the spacecraft alone, human beings have passed the "big filter" and are no longer short of energy, so they can live here for a long time.
However, the chicks will eventually fly high, the eagle will finally spread its wings, and it is time to say goodbye......
People always have to look forward.
Knicks Star, there's a chance, goodbye!
Goodbye, lizardmen!
We're going to look for the next ......
Blue sky and white clouds! r
