In the past few days, Shen Qinghua has been nervously testing the first test spacecraft, and the 'team of five' has determined the official name of this first spacecraft, which is called "Dreadnought". Today is mainly about testing artificial gravity systems and survival support systems, because the Dreadnought was designed and built according to the permanent space station from the beginning, and the space station will be a modular assembly of many Dreadnoughts as the basic unit. Therefore, in order to maintain the physical fitness of the crew for a long time and facilitate the crew to travel between space and the earth, two artificial gravity zones are specially designed for regular physical exercise, which is an area that produces gravity by the high-speed rotation of the outer layer and the slow rotation of the inner layer, which can produce microgravity from 0.1g to 20g of super gravity, everything inside the artificial gravity zone is white, only some sports equipment is a little faint gray, the protective device is blue, and the vertical direction of all facilities points to the center of rotation. Shen Qinghua knows that many of the people involved in the project jokingly refer to this area as a "rotating rat cage".

Shen Qinghua walked onto a treadmill, fastened his seat belt, and asked the 'Superstring' to prepare to start the machine, at which point a staff member outside suggested to him that it would be enough to let the trained person demonstrate, but Shen Qinghua insisted on testing it himself, because he asked everyone to adapt to the system, not a specific person, so that the meaning of needing it was to do so. The power system slowly began to rotate, with the continuous acceleration of the speed of the huge outer surface, the artificial gravity has reached 3g, Shen Qinghua only felt a slight rotation, the overweight pressed his body downward, Shen Qinghua jogged hard for a few minutes, and was already sweating profusely.

When Shen Qinghua walked out of the artificial gravity zone, his hair was soaked with sweat, and he gave a thumbs up to the staff waiting outside with satisfaction, and said repeatedly: "Okay, very good, it's not easy to be a mouse, I suggest that this system be used in our ground fitness room to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

In the past few days, as long as Fei Meng has time, he has accompanied Shen Qinghua to test various equipment and be familiar with the structure and function of various parts of the spacecraft. ”

The two of them laughed and talked as they walked towards the upper cabin......

Professor Gu Liangfeng was standing on a mountain peak not far away at this time, Zhang Xiaoqian was standing behind him, and a green hummingbird C-3 was parked next to it, as an improved version of the C-2, the C-3 could seat four people, installed a more powerful power system, and added some necessary equipment, because the change in the environment also added a roof that can be automatically retracted.

Professor Gu Liang looked at the buildings on a solid oval pedestal halfway up the mountain not far away, and said with emotion: "Xiaoqian, you see, how fast the changes are, we have only moved here for a few months, and several new buildings have been built, in this mountain surrounded by mountains and green trees, it really seems to be a fairyland on earth, if you listen to me when you come, it would be more beautiful to set up your home by the waterfall over there, but Fei Meng was worried about safety and did not agree, and most of the 'five-person team' supported him, hey, it was a pity." When I was younger, I always fantasized about being able to live in this kind of place when I was old, but now I feel that I am getting younger and younger. ”

Zhang Xiaoqian took two steps forward, stood side by side with the professor, and said with some emotion: "Yes, this place is so beautiful, it is really a paradise, we should build a mountain pavilion in this location, so that everyone can come here to see the scenery and our achievements when they have time, you see, your "Dreadnought" is the tallest and largest of these buildings, and Feimont said that in the future, many people will be sent to space to live and find new worlds." ”

Professor Gu Liang nodded and said: "Yes, we can definitely find many terrestrial planets, the Milky Way alone has more than a billion stars, and the universe may have hundreds of millions of milky ways, so the number of stars alone is more than all the sand grains on the earth combined, not to mention the number of planets revolving around the stars, so our space is infinitely vast." ”

Zhang Xiaoqian looked at the high-spirited Professor Gu Liang, as the third person who came after her and Fei Meng, Zhang Xiaoqian has always felt sorry for Professor Gu Liang, seeing the professor's high-spirited appearance today, it also made Zhang Xiaoqian's sense of regret that she had suppressed for several years soothe a lot, she took the professor's hand and said, "Let's go, it's not early, we should go back." ”

Gu Xinyu walked step by step on the road in the park, Gu Guoqiang and Chen Fangyu followed him closely, Chen Fangyu bent down from time to time and stretched out his hand to pull the clothes behind the child, and Gu Guoqiang asked Fangyu not to always pull the child. Seeing that Gu Xinyu accidentally fell, Gu Guoqiang shouted loudly in the back: "Hurry up, Xinyu, hurry, the Galaxy Battleship is about to take off, and there is a playground in front." Watching Xiao Xinyu slowly get up and continue to walk forward without looking back, Gu Guoqiang and Chen Fangyu both smiled happily. Above their heads, a hummingbird A-5 was flying silently in a stealth form, the people sent by Tong Jiwu were watching everything around them, and the two people who had been following Gu Guoqiang's family were also being watched by them.

In the blink of an eye, it was the scheduled date for the launch of the "Dreadnought", Shen Qinghua got up early, Jenny also leaned out of the cabin next door and looked outside, she found that many people had begun to make final preparations, these days, the first batch of more than 100 people who were carefully selected to follow Shen Qinghua to space, in order to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, have been living in this "huge" spaceship, everyone is very excited, this is an impossible task in the world of normal people, and now, they are "Dreadnoughts" One of the members.

The main equipment such as the power system, stealth system, and communication system of the "Dreadnought" are the same as the principles of the MSI Hummingbird series aircraft, but the power is more powerful and the composite materials are more advanced. The computer control system also uses the more advanced "Superstring 2", and the survival support system is a closed circular ecosystem that occupies two full layers, in addition to stored materials, it can also produce its own vegetables, oxygen, etc.; The defense system consists of five built-in twin high-energy laser cannons; Fei Meng and Tong Jiwu also sent an eight-person medical team and a six-person security team to the ship to take charge of medical and safety work, and the spaceship's hangar also carried ten MSI Hummingbird A-5 and three MSI Hummingbird B-6 aerospace general purpose vehicles to adapt to space security missions and air-to-ground transportation flights. Because the long conical hull of the "Dreadnought" is already the size of a small car, it may be detected when passing through low earth orbit, so the spacecraft does not use too much mature solar cell technology, but uses several fuel cell stacks composed of antimatter high-purity fuel cells, and the energy generated has been able to meet all the energy needs of the spacecraft for decades, including power, so that the silvery white appearance of the spacecraft is very simple, coupled with advanced composite materials, even if it is detected, It would also be considered a small piece of space junk.

Everything was ready, and with Femon's command, Dreadnought 1 began to slowly rise from the complex, quietly and steadily rising into the air under the gaze of everyone. The people on Mengzhou 1 and 2 were also watching through the neutrino communication system in the laboratory on the bottom of the sea. With Shen Qinghua's acceleration command, the "Dreadnought" No. 1 quickly disappeared into the blue sky.

Fei Meng, Gu Guoqiang, Chen Yufang and Zhang Xiaoqian watched the "Fearless" No. 1 disappear from view on the screen, and all four of them suppressed their excitement, and a new door had opened to them.
