Chapter 148: Space Station
Time was set back to a month ago, on this day, Ye Hongwen and other students of Huaxia University boarded a large passenger spaceship that could carry 100,000 people. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info personally sat in a spaceship that only appeared in science fiction movies, and Ye Hongwen and his classmates did not calm down for a long time.
This is too different from their social cognitive view, you must know that in their impression, human society was still celebrating the feat of landing on Mars some time ago, and was still experimenting with quantum communication technology on a cosmic scale, but in the blink of an eye, they were on a spaceship that could sail freely in the solar system.
This contrast is like a person in the thirties and forties of the last century, who suddenly came to the beginning of the twenty-first century, and the impact of the vigorous development of science and technology on this person is absolutely groundbreaking, which will make people feel frightened and not overwhelmed.
It took a long time for Ye Hongwen and the others to gradually get used to it, and then they began to look out through the porthole, at this time, the blue planet of the earth had become very small, and in the black background, it was slowly impossible to see clearly.
Time passed little by little, and the excitement of arriving in outer space was soon replaced by boredom, and they realized that the universe was nothing more than that, the bright stars, the vast picture scroll of the century, all these were just beautiful visions created in science fiction novels. The real universe is actually very boring, very boring, very cold, and it is an unknown journey that never knows what the destination will be!
Gradually, their thoughts returned to the evacuation mission of the Earth Fleet, thinking that they would never be able to return to Earth in the future, and even the solar system might only exist in memories, and suddenly the whole person's mentality became bad again.
It felt like a rootless duckweed, having foreseen the days of drifting in the future, drifting, drifting, drifting, until one day its life ended, rotting in an unknown corner.
What a sad story!
Ye Hongwen raised his head, poked his head out and looked at the spacious cabin, he found that although the classmates were forced to pretend to be calm, there was still a trace of stiffness in their expressions, and it seemed that everyone's hearts were not calm.
"Sit down and don't move!" At this time, the dead friend whispered to him.
Ye Hongwen felt a little helpless, and sat back in his seat, he felt that everyone should talk more at this time, too quiet would only make everyone more cranky.
As soon as his idea came to him, suddenly the large screen in front of the cabin lit up, and a documentary began to play, which was about the construction and development of the Earth Fleet and the introduction of the six countries' leaders who agreed to jointly carry out the evacuation operation.
Although there is no moving image record at that time in the documentary, it is introduced in the form of text and narration, which also gives everyone a general understanding of the whole thing. The confusion in my heart was answered at this moment.
A few hours later, the spacecraft arrived at the spaceport of the Earth station, and the first thing they saw was the huge main building of the station, the outer side of the main building was several rings like belts, one circle after another, arranged up and down, of different sizes, there were seven rings, and the inside of the main building was like an earring, extending up and down an almost symmetrical needlepoint-like building, with a long axis-like inner core perpendicular to several torus, some like the axis of a gyroscope.
Around the main building, there are a large number of manufacturing plants of various types, and not far from the main building, long gangways extend out, like a huge space dock.
Along the gangway, there were groups of neatly organized large spaceships, and the closest to Ye Hongwen were huge disk-shaped spaceships, and it was difficult to see the number at a glance.
Ye Hongwen didn't know how many such disc-shaped spaceships there were, because in addition to the front row that could be seen clearly, the back rows were submerged in a black curtain, even if there was a red signal light as an indication, but at such a distance, it was already difficult to distinguish their number with the naked eye.
"There should be dozens of them!" Ye Hongwen nodded slightly, as mentioned in the documentary just now, a total of sixty large residential ships were built for evacuation, and these sixty residential ships are their future home.
After passing the assembly area of the disc-shaped spaceship, the next thing I saw was a series of neatly assembled resource supply ships, then scientific experiment ships, various types of engineering construction ships, and finally a series of relatively small civilization-class combat ships.
The shape of the combat ship is obviously different from other ships, not only in terms of size, but also in the thin gun holes dotted around its hull, which are densely packed, but it makes people feel a hideous and terrifying atmosphere. Its lookout front window is much smaller than that of other ships, and its shape is more streamlined, which is mainly designed to accommodate the impact of interstellar dust and interstellar clouds on the hull of ships at high speeds.
After all, the combat ship is at the forefront, and the density of various devices inside it is far greater than that of other ships, so the gold content of a combat ship symbolizes the highest level of the entire fleet to a certain extent.
For example, the current Earth Fleet, in addition to the few old ships left by the Odo civilization, the highest level is these newly built civilization-class combat ships, so the level of the entire Earth fleet is also civilization-level.
Civilization-class warships are generally the standard configuration of second-level mid-to-late civilizations and third-level early civilizations.
Passing through a dense area of waterways, the passenger ship soon docked at a bridge.
"Please follow the command and disembark according to the order." Under the command of the ship's broadcast, tens of thousands of people walked down the spacecraft one by one along the open passage.
"There's gravity!"
Ye Hongwen's expression was slightly surprised, in fact, he had discovered this situation when he was on the spaceship, and at that time he was thinking about how the Earth Fleet did it, but he didn't expect that there was gravity after getting off the spaceship, could it be that every corner of the earth's station has a device that generates gravity?
Surprised, surprised, not unacceptable, Ye Hongwen nodded, got on a bus inside the station under the guidance of the guide, and then headed towards the destination of the trip.
As they got closer, the towering and tall hulls of the habitation ships were enlarged in front of people little by little, and these hulls were so big that they made people feel a little oppressive! When it comes closer, this pure and undisguised tallness is even more terrifying.
"Oh my God, it's so big!"
"It's bigger than the biggest mountain in our hometown!"
The students let out one exclamation after another, looking at the engineering miracles that can only be shaped by earth-shattering power, and some of them couldn't move. Finally, under the urging of the entourage, he finally stepped into this large habitation ship numbered "One".
As students who were evacuated in advance, Ye Hongwen and his family did not go to the regular residential area in the ship, but the school park located on the top floor of the entire ship.
Sixty inhabiting ships, of which twenty-five inhabiting ships are set up in the top of the academy, these campuses will be used as the concentration of higher education in the Earth Fleet in the future, Huaxia University, American University and other institutions of higher learning, are placed in the twenty-five inhabiting ships of the academy, it will be the most quintessential of the entire civilization, and at the same time the most thorough protection of the area.
In the event of an emergency, there is an emergency escape ship on the edge of the school park, which can ensure that the elite of civilization has the last chance of survival.
At this moment, the school park is ready to welcome the residents, the streets, cleaned by cleaning robots, and the layout style is no different from the earth, if there is any difference, it may be that the streets are relatively narrow.
There is no way to do this, after all, the habitation ship is only so big, and in order to use it more efficiently, some places that can be compressed have been compressed.
"Look, it's such a beautiful sky!"
After entering the living ship, the students did not feel the expected feeling of crowding in the cabin, on the contrary, they looked up and saw a scene of blue sky and white clouds.
Ye Hongwen opened his mouth slightly, feeling a little surprised, he saw that five hundred meters above the ground, there was a blue sky, there were white clouds, the sun was shining obliquely, and the angle of irradiation and the warmth of people were exactly the same as the time displayed in his mobile phone.
You must know that in order to simulate the environment on the earth to the greatest extent, so that the habitation ship can truly become a hull suitable for long-term habitation of civilization, rather than a moving living coffin, or a long-distance tourist bus that is not very comfortable, Zhou Chen has put a lot of effort into this.
The fourteen levels of the inhabited ship, the top of each floor is equipped with a heat source divergence device and an image presentation device, and the light projected basically simulates the various chromatographic wavelengths of natural sunlight, in such an environment, it is difficult for people to find that these are just projections, and even if you grow fruits and vegetables on the ground, these crops can also grow, sprout, and ripen normally according to the season!
All of this is inseparable from the support of energy, of course, the residential ship is somewhat surplus in terms of energy, and when it really enters the voyage, there are also resource supply ships that can replenish the materials it needs.
In addition, once the cabin is closed, the organic circulation of the entire inhabiting ship can also be maintained to the greatest extent, at this time, even if the vegetables are planted and a certain degree of small animals are raised, the waste generated by them can be directly reused, and the exhaust gas will enter the life support system of the inhabiting ship and return after a variety of treatments.
The only thing to worry about is that the material cycle caused by the overpopulation cannot keep up with the consumption, and the material output on the side of the resource supply ship cannot make up for the deficit on the side of the resident ship, which is the biggest obstacle to limiting the number of people carried.
