Chapter 295: Faster-than-Light Journey
With Howard's strong admiration and intelligent advice, Anyan became interested in Paradise 2 and decided to go to the famous Paradise 2 for the second leg after his roaming of the space station. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But now they still have a very little understanding of society, and intelligence has not yet fully penetrated, and even simple two-dimensional monitoring has not been able to cover the vast star field of hundreds of light years of human life, and they need time.
The waiting process is not boring at all, there is still too much to know about this world, and after becoming friends with the Linders, they have experienced first-hand the life of ordinary people in the interstellar age.
After getting along for more than ten days, An Yang summed up the lives of ordinary people, which can be summarized as: wake up in the morning to enjoy a comfortable meal, talk about life and ideals, and it's noon (in a narrow sense); Take a nap or go for a walk in the park to pass the time; In the afternoon, I thought about what I was going to do, but I didn't do it for a long time, and finally in the evening, when I was about to be invited out to party, I spent half an hour working, and then hurried out to meet up with friends, celebrate, and then went home satisfied.
This is the day in the life of the Lindes in a utopian society. They can enjoy life at will, they can take a trip that they can do on the go, and they want a luxury experience without a place to work? It doesn't matter, just go and volunteer a few times, and the work will come.
For example, Howard used to volunteer at a dormancy center, and his job was to accompany people who had woken up, chatting, talking about the future and their ideals. Although there is still some gap in wanting to enjoy top-notch luxury, it is okay to live comfortably.
Anyan Biologist's identity and work, he can earn more points. Because his profession is a great impetus for social and technological progress. In the same way, some noble professions, professions that require brain power, and not everyone can do well, have the most work points.
With a work site, you can enjoy a lot of priority, although it does not cost money to build a house and customize a car, the robot construction team needs to make an appointment; It doesn't cost money to take a starship, but you need to make a reservation for places and flights; There is no limit to the world of luxury, but if you want to have a good time, you need to make a reservation.
The workplace is that you can skip the appointment and enjoy the priority existence. In addition, there are certain professions and special people who also have more priority given by the people, such as military officers with military merits, the leadership of the Federation, and soldiers who have been wounded and retired.
Strictly speaking, this utopian society still has a certain class, but the scope is already very small, and it exists only in the column of elite luxury. If an ordinary person also works hard, he can enjoy life like these elites.
It's a pity that human beings in this era are not so industrious. In the 21st century, the 9-to-5 white-collar workers are definitely rare model workers and job winners.
Of course, interstellar people don't do that, because they won't be dictated by time.
Just like Howard, he will not deliberately give up his ideal pursuit in order to pursue work, give up the leisurely days with his wife, and go to work from 9 to 5. He would rather save a little this year and a little next year, and one day it will come true.
Anyang does not want to make any evaluation of this attitude, because there is a generation gap and a gap in consciousness that is more than a thousand years apart. He has no responsibility to let them eliminate, and it is completely unnecessary, the two of them are living well, what are you messing with?
But Anyan still has his own pursuits.
After fifteen days together, Anyan and Hasna said goodbye to the hospitable Lindes and embarked on an interstellar flight to Paradise II, the Star Express III 225, a spacecraft more than 200 meters long and capable of faster-than-light travel.
Flights are free, but reservations are required, and the queue is long. Pay for it! It's just that at present, intelligence can't get too many work points, because it needs to break through the powerful intelligent system of the Federation, and it also needs to fabricate a lot of work experience.
However, it was a coincidence that both Anyan and Hasna had the status of Union soldiers, and now he is a brigadier general in the Union Navy, traveling on official business with the colonel's assistant.
Brigadier General is a military rank that has privileges, but is not too high-profile. If he was a general, others would almost know that it was fake. Brigadier generals are easy to fiction relative to the sheer number of federal troops.
In this way, Commodore An Yang, dressed in a blue navy suit, with his beautiful female assistant, in the name of official travel, gave priority to boarding the starship, and the service staff, who were basically robots, warmly greeted him.
Although the situation in Utopia is generally stable, there are still some border disputes, interstellar pirates, terrorist forces, etc., and the soldiers who maintain the peace of mankind have always been respected.
Their status as soldiers has won the attention and admiration of the service staff and passengers, and the little baby told her mother that she wants to be in the navy when she grows up and protect her beautiful sister.
An Yang sent a smile, the little baby has a future!
……
Paradise 2 Space City is 17.5 light-years away, and there are relatively few long-haul flights.
It should be noted here that it is still unattainable to exceed the speed of light in conventional space. But humans used antimatter to drive the warp engine, creating space-time bubbles to enter unconventional space, and the journey beyond the speed of light without violating the theory of relativity, in warp speed 5 mode, only takes a month.
Lying in the dormant chamber, An Yang, who can enter the anti-overload state at any time, browses the knowledge of faster-than-light travel about this starry sky, which will be the first time he has experienced this magic.
Even in this era of abundant supplies, faster-than-light ships are rare, as they are extremely resource-intensive, and preparing for a warp voyage requires a large amount of antimatter, which cannot be squandered even in this day and age.
But there is an exception is the warship, as the armed force of the Federation, if you want to guard the safety of these more than 300 light years and trillions of people, the warship will always be the most technologically advanced and fastest spaceship.
With An Yang's status, he could have taken a warship, but the latest warship activity would not be until two months later, unless he had urgent official duties, and he had no choice but to ask for a second best reason.
At this time, the captain's voice rang out: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ...... of the Federal Express 225"
Faster-than-light travel is just around the corner, and both Anyan and Hasna are looking forward to it.
"What will it be?" She turned her head to look.
Anyan understands the principle: "The superwarp engine warps space and brings the spacecraft into unconventional space, it can travel shorter distances, locally the spacecraft travels at sub-light speed, but macroscopically it is faster-than-light. ”
"Shrinking into inches?" She said.
"It's different." An Yang shook his head, "In terms of the earth, it is equivalent to falling into the inner layer of the earth, and when it arrives and returns to the outside, the closer it is to the center of the circle, the shorter the journey. ”
"Oh." She understood.
When a spaceship leaves the spaceport, conventional thrusters propel it to the right orbit, and the act of warpping the space will leave a clear mark in space-time, so it needs a specific route and repeated recycling.
The regular voyage took about an hour, and upon reaching the predetermined area, An Yang was able to see through the external camera a huge warping device outside, which would assist the spacecraft in flying faster than light.
I don't know how to describe this feeling, there are no bumps, no weirdness like in the movie, but suddenly it feels like the spaceship is isolated from the normal space, and it is constantly accelerating.
At warp speed 5, the macrocosm spacecraft can travel at about 213 times the speed of light, taking more than a month, during which time passengers can sleep at low temperatures or engage in virtual entertainment.
They do not waste time and choose to enter the virtual world, experience the entertainment of this world, or carry out appropriate learning to supplement their much-needed social and cultural knowledge.
The structure of the Federation began to take shape in their eyes.
Although the Human Federation has appeared in the interstellar era, it has collapsed and rebuilt like human dynasties, and it is not until the 26th century that it has begun to stabilize, and humanity with nuclear energy, robots, and warp engines has entered the era of utopia.
At present, the territory of the Federation is about 322 light years in diameter, and the vast majority of human beings still live on the cantilevered arm of the galaxy, with a total population of about 3.25 trillion, and the civilization is in the third level of highly developed civilization.
Biological civilization is in a slow stage, with some fused people, more genetically enhanced people, silicon-based intelligence that coexists with humans, and non-intelligent machines that are dozens of times larger than humans.
The whole of humanity is in a highly democratic mode, and the Federation, Star Field, and Region are mostly "confederate" models, led by a set of reformed democratic parliaments, and the structure is currently stable.
There are no major wars, but there are some restorationist and carbon-based ideas, and occasionally there will be some military conflicts, but they will not affect the overall situation.
Seeing this, An Yang wondered, why is it on the verge of disorder? (To be continued.) )
