The Heavenly One, the Heavenly One, the Master, the Army, the Heavenly Master is the Heavenly Army, or the meaning of "Starfleet". And the Great Tomorrow Division means the Great Star Fleet.

Summer sat down in front of the console and waited for the computer Chun Tao to continue to introduce the Great Tomorrow Division.

"In the first year of Tianyuan, the Heavenly Master set sail. It's the year 588 of Tian Yuan......"

"You've been sailing for 588 years?"

"No, this is the time of the Heavenly Master, and there is an error with the time of the stars in the world," Chun Tao explained, Tian Yuan is the fleet time of the Great Star Fleet, and since the first year, a new timekeeping system has been used, and the year is fixed for twelve months, there is no distinction between large and small months, and each month is 30 days, so the year is fixed for 360 days, 12 hours a day, that is, 24 hours. So according to the Earth timekeeping method, they left the Earth exactly 580 years. Summer calculated in my mind that this year is 2013, so 580 years ago was 1433.

580 years ago, in 1433, what happened in the Ming Dynasty? The summer study was not too good, so he didn't know at all. I asked, "Why did you choose that year to fly?" Why is it not recorded in the history books? ”

"In the eighth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, after fifteen years of construction, all the heavenly ships and heavenly ships of the Heavenly Master were completed, and the heavenly harbor was in the black land, and it was built secretly, so there was no record in the history books. Zheng Gong, the first admiral of the Heavenly Master, was edicted by the first emperor Yongle Ye and led the Heavenly Master to start the journey to the sky, and the Heavenly Master was named the Ming Yongle Sky Division, referred to as the Great Tomorrow Master. The mission of the Heavenly Master is to find a home outside the sky and explore the mysteries of life. The first stop of Tianhang is the other side of the planet, which is a stone's throw away from us. ”

Listening to Chun Tao say this, Summer thinks it's incredible, or this is someone's prank, isn't it? According to Chun Tao, in 1433, this so-called Great Tomorrow Division began the magnificent era of space under the premise of having quite mature interstellar navigation technology and the scale of powerful interstellar warships. Even if everything Chun Tao said was true, it would still be hard to believe it in the summer. Yes, his studies are not very good, but he knows very well what powerful scientific knowledge is needed in astronautics, especially transstellar astronautics, Ming Dynasty? Is it possible?

According to historical records, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, was seriously ill and died on the way back from the seventh voyage to China, and was buried in Guli, India.

"Lord Admiral's trip to the West back then was just a cover for the Dawn Project."

Hearing Chun Tao mention the Dawning Project again, Summer asked, "The Dawning Project?" What is it? ”

"What the specific content is, Chun Tao is not clear, because Chun Tao's authority is not well understood. My lord, as an official of the Celestial Master, you can learn about it in the Flagship Center's database. ”

"Flagship? You mean the headquarters of the large forces of the fleet? Didn't you say that the rendezvous would be more than sixty years away? Can I live that long? Even if I lived long enough to be over a hundred years old, so what? What does the secret of your fleet mean to me? ”

"Your Excellency, you're too worried. The Dawning program includes hibernation, which you can choose to hibernate before you reach your destination. ”

"Okay."

Zheng He was the first Heavenly Master Admiral of the Great Tomorrow Division. At the time of sailing, the Celestial Master had a total of 130 large and small celestial ships and 4,200 crew members of all levels. It has transstellar navigation technology, with a maximum speed of 0.1 times the speed of light. The first stop of the Sky Voyage: South Gate 2, which is what we call Alpha C, also known as Proxima Centauri, is 4.28 light-years away (fleet data), or 4.22 light-years (Earth data).

Except for a few differences between the Celestial Master and the earth, most of them still have similarities. For example, the unit of length used by the Celestial Master is a light year, and 1 light year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum over a period of 360 days, which is different from the definition of the earth. Earth's 1 light-year is the journey of light in an Earth-year that is both 365 days.

In the unit of time: 1 fleet year = 360 days, 1 day = 12 hours = 24 earth hours, 1 day = 1 earth day. 1 hour = 10 columns, 1 column = 10 fleet minutes = 12 earth minutes, 1 minute = 100 instants = 72 earth seconds.

Mathematical unit: 10,000 is an equivalent order. For example, 10,000 = 10,000, 100 million = 100,000, 1 trillion = 1,000 billion, 1 = 10,000 silk = 100 million micro = 1 trillion.

In the unit of length: the distance of light in a day is called 1 day. 1 day = 50 billion li = 25.9 billion earth unit kilometers, 1 li = 100 zhang = 10,000 inches. Here, the length unit of the Celestial Master is obviously very different from the earth's unit, and because the conversion with the earth's metric city system of measurement is too complicated, it will not be listed one by one.

There are many other units of measurement in the Heavenly Master, and weight is also one of them, and I can't remember it in summer, but I just have a general understanding.

The Celestial Master is also very different from the earth in astronomy. For example, the "Thirty-Three Heavens" originally from Taoism have been redefined: the sky that has not yet left the atmosphere is a heavy heaven, in space it is a double heaven, the orbit of the Moon is a triple heaven, the orbit of Mars is a quadruple heaven, the asteroid belt is a fivefold heaven, the orbit of Jupiter is a sixfold heaven, Saturn is a sevenfold heaven, Uranus is an eightfold heaven, Neptune is a ninefold heaven, and Pluto is a tenfold heaven...... The other side of the star is thirty-three heavens. The astronomical knowledge in summer is not very rich, so from the 11th to the 32nd day, he basically can't understand it, and he doesn't know that there is a heliopause, Oort clouds or something, and the astronomical masters have different names for these astronomical terms, so he doesn't understand it even more.

The current location of Aurora-2 is 26 heavens, about three light-years away from Earth.

Chuntao's name for celestial bodies is also different from that of the earth, for example: Mercury is called Chenxing, Venus is called Taibai, the earth is called Tianxia Star or Earth Star, the Moon is also called the Moon, and the Earth-Moon system is called the Earth-Moon Sky. Mars is called Yingfu, the asteroid belt is called the Tianjiao Group, Jupiter is called the Year Star, and Saturn is called the Town Star. Uranus is called Hongwu Star in honor of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Neptune is called Yongle Star in honor of Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle. Pluto is called Jianwen Star in honor of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen.

In addition to the Earth-Moon system called the Earth-Moon Heaven, there is also the Solar System called the Sun Heaven, the Milky Way Galaxy called the Milky Way Heaven, the stars called the Light Stars, the planets called the Ministers, and the satellites called the Servant Stars. The spaceship is called the Sky Ship, the combat Sky Ship is called the Sky Ship, the Starfleet is called the Sky Master, the fleet commander is called the Admiral of the Sky Master, and the captain is called the pipe band. In the summer, he was appointed as the pipe band of the Dawning II, that is, the captain.

The computer is called a super abacus, and Chun Tao says that she is a super abacus, which means computer.

"Since I'm the captain," said Summer, "do you have the highest authority?" Can an order be given? ”

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, I order you now, fly back to Earth at full speed!"

"I'm sorry, my lord, but this order is invalid!" Unexpectedly, Chun Tao categorically refused the first order given by Summer.

"Why?"

"The Dawning-2 celestial ship is more than 1,000 days away from the earth, and the direction is the other side of the star, gradually accelerating. At this time, to return to Earth, you need to change course, slow down, accelerate, and slow down again, so it will take at least 300 years to return to Earth. You will not be able to return to Earth in 300 years, may I ask you, sir, does this still make sense to you? ”
