Chapter 25: Spaceships
Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng had already arranged their holidays after booking tickets. It's also been a great journey for them.
When he was young, he grew up in his home planet, and after he got married, he came to Tianluo Star. Celestial Douxing: They've never been there yet. After all, it was the first stop of human interstellar migration, and it was of epoch-making significance for all mankind. They also want to see what kind of situation has come to the planet that was first developed by humans.
"Mom, can we take the spaceship later?" Lan Xuanyu sat in the car and excitedly took Nan Cheng's hand.
Nan Cheng looked at his son's big eyes, smiled "poof", and said, "Silly boy, this is the sixth time you have asked your mother the same question." Yes. We'll be on the spaceship in a minute. Then you can see the vastness of space. ”
"Oh yes, that's great!" Lan Xuanyu exclaimed excitedly.
Lan Xiao turned her head and glanced at her son with some doting, as she grew older, Lan Xuanyu has now changed from a super cute baby to a handsome little guy. Especially his big eyes, which seem to have a touch of purple in addition to the original black as he gets older. The eyes are clear and seem to reflect the whole world, and the long eyelashes fan with the blink. Whoever sees him will almost immediately feel pity.
Finally, the Soul Guide Flying Car arrived at its destination, the aviation base in Ziluo City. They need to first take a soul guide plane from Ziluo City to Tianluo City, the capital of Tianluo Star, and then transfer a spaceship from Tianluo City to Tiandou Star.
So far, only the capital city of Tenra has a spaceship capable of traveling across space. And there aren't many flights. Advance reservations are required.
Lan Xuanyu, the soul guide plane, had already taken it, and in the past, whenever his parents had a holiday, they would take him to other cities and tourist attractions in Tianluo Star to play. What he is most looking forward to is the spaceship, and for his generation of children, space is the place they yearn for the most.
Three hours later, the soul guide plane landed smoothly at the Tianluo City Space Center. Another half an hour later. They entered the core area of the space center, which covers a vast area.
The entire space center is decorated in white, with a huge white metal wall with a large screen on which some pictures are being played.
"Wow! Mom, is that a space battleship?" As soon as he saw the picture, Lan Xuanyu couldn't help jumping up excitedly.
Nan Cheng hurriedly bent down and made a silent gesture to him, "Shh, Xuanyu should be quiet." No loud noises in public areas are a manifestation of basic qualities. Because we can't influence others!"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. Mom, I was wrong. Mom, is that a space battleship!" Lan Xuanyu asked extremely excitedly while lowering his voice.
Nancheng looked up at the big screen. On the big screen, the background is the endless starry sky, and silver-white warships are flying in space. There were hundreds of warships, some large and some small. The largest of them was a fortress guarded by many other warships.
"Yes. It's a battleship. Looking at the number on the battleship, this should be the newly completed space battle group of the Federation's Fourth Fleet. Lan Xiao answered her son's questions beside her.
"Dad, that's great! I want to fly a battleship when I grow up, okay?" Lan Xuanyu took Lan Xiao's hand and shook it, indescribably excited.
Lan Xiao smiled slightly, raised her hand and touched her son's head, "It's not easy to drive a battleship. That requires you to study hard and be admitted to the Battleship Department while in a higher college. "What teenager has not dreamed of space? He was also young, and he once aspired to become a space battleship commander. It's just that it's not just one in a million! To be able to go to space and become a member of a battleship, the effort required is not something that words can describe. Without more than 20 years of professional training and hard training, it is almost impossible to succeed.
The space fleet is the most advantageous weapon for human interstellar migration, and it is also the most important guarantee for human beings to complete interstellar migration. You know, it took thousands of years for mankind to successfully build four space fleets. Every space fleet is the most important asset of the Douluo Federation.
However, with the increase in the control of administrative stars, the progress of human science and technology, and the occupied administrative stars provide more resources, and the speed of subsequent construction of space fleets is obviously accelerating.
Mankind has even begun to try to build the first space transit station in space, the specific location of this transit station is only known to the military leadership, named Shrek Battlefortress. To commemorate the outstanding contributions made by Shrek Academy, the first academy of the Federation, to the Federation for tens of thousands of years.
At the same time as the Shrek Space Fortress, construction began at the same time as the fifth and sixth space fleets of the Federation. It is expected to be fully completed within 50 years.
Lan Xuanyu's gaze couldn't be taken off the big screen for a long time, the battleships were so dazzling, especially the metal turrets that flashed faintly on the battleships, he seemed to have seen the spectacular scene of ten thousand cannons firing at once. It's just too beautiful.
"Let's go. We can't be late. Otherwise, there is no way to fly in a spaceship. Nan Cheng seduced his son.
"Hmm. ”
A family of three went through the boarding procedures. The procedures are a bit cumbersome, and the security check alone has to go through three times. Spaceships are expensive. It is not without the idea of a spaceship in the history of mankind that gangsters have hit. Therefore, the security check is extremely strict.
After passing through the levels, I finally entered the inner area, and the next thing is to wait.
Through the huge glass window, Lan Xuanyu saw that in the distance, an existence like a cannonball was erected on the open flat ground.
"Yes, that's the spaceship we'll be flying in a minute. Lan Xiao didn't wait for her son to ask, and she had already taken the lead in answering his questions.
"It's great! It's so big. Lan Xuanyu's excitement continued.
Lan Xiao smiled, "The spaceship is composed of many parts, the most important of which is the spaceship itself and the thrusters when taking off. The thrusters will send the ship into space, then disengage and return on its own to be reused. After the spacecraft enters space, it will cruise according to the established orbit until it reaches our destination. Due to the wormholes available for jumping, we are heading to the Celestial Dipper and are expected to fly for seven days. So, don't get so excited just yet, it's boring in space. ”
"I love space, Dad, I'm not afraid of boredom. Lan Xuanyu's excitement would not be reduced by his father's words.
After the last security check, the family of three finally boarded the spaceship.
Naturally, the cabins of the spacecraft are also divided into high, medium and low grades. In fact, it is simply impossible for the average working class to have the money to fly in a spaceship. Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng are already considered to be the upper middle class, and this kind of astronautical voyage once a year is enough to consume their savings.
Even so, they were flying in the lowest class of accommodation.
Each person has about a square meter of space, the space is long, and it is a semi-reclining chair with metal straps on both sides, but they are all separated. It's fairly comfortable to sit on.
Children's seats are different from adults, Lan Xuanyu's cabin will be smaller, but it can lie flat. Right next to the parents. This family group is a package when buying a ticket. Comparatively more affordable.
"Welcome aboard NASA 7703. We hope that in the long journey ahead, having us by your side will bring you peace of mind and happiness. Below, we introduce some simple precautions, please be sure to follow them. ”
A melodious female voice sounded on the radio.
