Chapter Eighty-Eight: Red Autumn
Hearing Yamada's question, Sato quickly replied: "There are two things, one is about the death of Toshiki Kitano's predecessor in the line of duty, and I also want to explain to you in person, and the other is that there is something that needs your help." ”
"Oh, yes, President Kitano is a capable man, and your report is not very detailed." Yamada had already sat down in the chair behind his desk, waved his hand, and motioned for Sato to sit down as well.
Kosuke Sato hung his half-pulled butt on the edge of the pen stand, tilted his head and continued, "There are some details that I can't write on the report because I am afraid of damaging the image of Kitano's predecessors." Kitano seniors don't know why a sudden whim, maybe it was very enjoyable to see us flying with the Black Hawk, so he had to take two of his subordinates to try the fun of piloting, I was worried about his safety, but I didn't dare to go against his will, and specially arranged two very experienced Black Hawk pilots as their guide, but I never thought that there was an accident, because the flight speed was too fast, the control was not good, the Black Hawk-2 piloted by President Kitano himself crashed on the cliff, and all the people on it were killed at the same time. ”
Yamada nodded slightly, twisted his face to the window and thought for a moment and said, "This is also the will of heaven, and the Black Eagle Group will be managed by you in the future, can you reassure me?" ”
Sato quickly stood up and replied straightly, "Thank you for your trust, I can guarantee that the Black Hawks will be absolutely loyal to you." ”
"Well, what's the other thing?" Hiroichi Yamada asked.
……
Hirosuke Sato drove the Black Hawk-3 out of Yamada's chairman's office and flew towards his station. He is very proud of the harvest of his trip, the Black Eagle Group is completely under his control, only one person's anti-aging drug dose, in exchange for the right to use an island, it is really worth the trip, Sato drove the latest upgraded Black Eagle to the maximum speed of Mach 28, and returned to the nest of the Black Eagle Group in a few minutes, he wants to discuss with Li Kang immediately how to divide the labor, and the Black Eagle Group will grow faster after dispersing, then he can apply for the promotion to the Black Eagle Society, and he is the first president of the Black Eagle Society, Thinking of this, Sato smiled and walked towards Li Kang's office with a smile.
************************************************************
In autumn, the leaves of the cogscarus trees in the mountains in the distance are as red as flames, as if the rolling red glow reflects the nearby mountains, and the huge pine and cypress trees in the near distance are green and green, and the new human base hidden in this red and green seems to be a fairyland on earth. Fei Meng stood on the roof of the blue main building, looking at the mountains and colorful scenery, lingering, Zhang Xiaoqian beside him was also fascinated, they snuggled together, the sunset gradually merged with the red mountains in the distance, shining on the two of them The body also turned red.
Fei Meng raised his wrist to look at the time, took Zhang Xiaoqian's hand and said, "Let's go, it's time, it's about to reach the sky above our heads." After saying that, the two walked into the MSI Hummingbird B-6 Aerospace Vehicle docked next to them, came to the cockpit and sat next to Professor Gu Liang, who had been waiting there, after the hatch closed, the Hummingbird took off vertically, and as the power of the particle thruster increased, the pyramid-shaped Hummingbird B-6, which was only fifty inches in size, shot straight into the air like an arrow from the string, and disappeared into the distant sky with a fiery red sunset.
More than 28,000 kilometers away from the earth in the far earth orbit, six old satellites are flying close together, Shen Qinghua is on the 'Dreadnought', directing all the projects, they have pushed the six artificial satellites from the low earth orbit to here, technicians are using the mechanical arm on the MSI Hummingbird B-6 to install a connecting corridor for the satellite, strengthen the overall structure of the satellite and seal the surface of the satellite, after the completion of the external project, the six satellites will become a whole, wait' The arrival of Dreadnought'3, after another connection, will be internally modified, and will eventually serve as a huge scientific research space station to accept the first batch of space immigrants from the New Humanity Association, and when the space station is functioning normally, it will leave the Earth's orbit and go to the asteroid group where the antimatter factory is located, meet with the space research base there, and use the resources there to build a newer super-large space city and go to the depths of space, which is the first phase of the space exploration plan of Fei Meng, Gu Liangfeng and Shen Qinghua.
From a distance, the shape of the Dreadnought resembles the shape of an intercontinental missile's warhead, the slender conical hull shines with silver-white light, shielding most of the sun's rays and various cosmic rays, and the particle propulsion system powered by eight antimatter fuel cells is arranged at the bottom of the spacecraft's conical hull, and the center of the bottom is a complex connecting hatch so that subsequent Dreadnoughts can use the connecting hatch at the top to connect, and this head-to-tail connection design can make the Dreadnought carry out series indefinitely, Moreover, each of the connected ships will be able to provide partial power to the overall joint structure, and it is expected that the initial complex will be able to fly at speeds of more than 3,000 kilometers per second, and will eventually be able to break through the light barrier. When the combined hull meets the conditions for long-distance exploration, the 'Dreadnought' complex can begin to head into the depths of space, and if it needs to explore different celestial bodies on the way, it can separate one or several dreadnoughts for individual investigation, and the consortium can continue to move forward or wait for the recovery of the separated part of the individual hull. This consortium structure was mainly formulated by Professor Gu Liangfeng, Dr. Zhang Keming and Dr. Shen Qinghua after many demonstrations, which laid a good foundation for the space exploration activities of the New New Mankind Association in the future.
The Hummingbird B-6, which can fly at a speed of 350 kilometers per second in space, took less than half an hour from takeoff to approach the Dreadnought, and when the B-6 slowly drove into the door of the Dreadnought, waiting for the air to change, Feimeng and Shen Qinghua said that they did not need him to come to greet him, and that he and Professor Gu Liang would go directly to Shen Qinghua's command module.
Shen Qinghua's command module on the Dreadnought 1 is located at the back of the ship's cockpit, in front of the crew living compartment area, this spacecraft capable of carrying one hundred and twenty new human crew members only needs two pilots and one navigator, and the command center is generally five members working at the same time. Shen Qinghua waited at the door of the command center and took Professor Gu Liang, Fei Meng, and Zhang Xiaoqian, who had already come to the front, into the command cabin of the spacecraft.
Professor Gu Liang was supposed to wait for the launch of Dreadnought 3 before coming together, but because the construction of the space station started ahead of schedule, Shen Qinghua was a little too busy, so Professor Gu Liang and Fei Meng came to the space station under construction in advance. I don't know if it's due to the joy of accidentally arriving in space ahead of schedule, or the effect of adrenaline, Professor Gu Liang is a little too excited, walking constantly between the cockpit and the command module, because the sealed cabin is an artificial mixed air environment, the magnetic shoes on his feet and the metal floor make the sound of rubbing from time to time, Professor Gu Liang is as active as a child who has just arrived in a fresh environment, which seems to be the restlessness of every person who arrives in space for the first time. Although everything in front of him was not unfamiliar, the first time he was there, Gu Liangfeng was still so curious, he might be able to feel his adrenaline gushing.
When Zhang Xiaoqian accompanied Professor Gu Liang around, Shen Qinghua and Fei Meng were already sitting in front of the display screen of the 'Super String', and all the details of the progress of the project outside were displayed here, Fei Meng looked at the current only three satellites connected together, worried about the progress of the project, and asked: "Is it that the number of B-6 is not enough, which makes the progress of the project a little slow?" ”
Shen Qinghua shook his head and said: "This is also no way, the fastest speed, the construction in space can't be too anxious, in case of a mistake can't be saved, and now it's an external connection operation, the quality must be ensured first, and when the internal transformation is carried out, the progress will be much faster." ”
Fei Meng nodded, grabbed Professor Gu Liang, who was passing by for the third time, and said with a smile: "Teacher, don't go around, sit down and rest, didn't you stay on the Dreadnought this time, why are you in such a hurry to look around?" ”
Gu Liangfeng was right when he thought about it, so he didn't need to worry, so he sat down beside Fei Meng and said: "Eh, this is different from the feeling on the earth, it's amazing, I feel that my blood is boiling, and my body has infinite strength." ”
Shen Qinghua looked at Professor Gu Liang's somewhat flushed face and knew that he was experiencing the syndrome of first arrival in space, just like a person who was taking a boat in the sea for the first time, in addition to curiosity, it was more of a body's reaction, and he needed to adapt for a while, so he whispered to the professor: "Do you feel a little dizzy in your head and a little swollen in your eyes?" This is normal, do you need to go to the rest cabin to rest for a while, now it should be night on Earth, and you also need to control your biological clock here, otherwise you will have no energy to work in the future. ”
After speaking, Shen Qinghua looked at the time, pressed a button on the computer, and the white light in the spacecraft changed to light yellow, which was a few minutes earlier than the usual automatic set time for changing lights, Shen Qinghua wanted Professor Gu Liang to rest earlier. Professor Gu Liang pressed his temples, which were a little swollen and painful, knowing that Shen Qinghua was right, so he said goodbye to the people in the command cabin, and walked to the living area behind accompanied by Zhang Xiaoqian.
Fei Meng looked at the back of Professor Gu Liang leaving, and thought to himself, autumn is coming, and the teacher's body is like this golden autumn, full of passion, but winter is also approaching, I don't know what will happen to us when we reach his age. At this time, he remembered a poem that Gu Guoqiang once read to him: "When the autumn flowers and autumn moon reflect the autumn, the autumn water is murmuring and the autumn day is cool." The autumn wind is bleak and the autumn rain is blowing, and the autumn people are thinking hard about the long autumn nights. Faimon whispered unconsciously.
Shen Qinghua, who was sitting next to him, looked at Fei Meng's solemn face, and said with a smile: "Why are you so sad, Liu Yuxi also said, 'Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring'."
Feimeng shook his head, smiled bitterly, cheered up again, looked at the progress of the project displayed on the screen and asked, "Where did we talk about just now?" ”
Shen Qinghua thought for a while, and did not continue to talk about the progress of the project, but stood up, took Feimeng's arm and said: "The management personnel here are capable of these jobs, you have just arrived, let's go, let's relax, go to the biological experiment cabin in the back to have a look, let you see our natural circulation system, now has a certain scale and effect." ”
