Chapter Ninety-Eight: The launch was successful, and Tang Yue appeased
"Oh my God, it's so big!" Wang Binxiang and Guo Wentao exclaimed when they saw the picture on the big screen.
The launch pad has obviously been modified, several times larger than the original rocket launch pad, and the spaceship is also in the shape of a long strip, which is somewhat similar to the enlarged version of the rocket.
Tang Yue was also excited, she asked excitedly: "Can this spacecraft carry people?" ”
"Of course, but the first test flight was just for experiments, and a lot of plants that I had newly studied were placed on it, some of which were not suitable for experiments on Earth, so I took them to Mars for experiments." Yang Zhou said.
In the future, Mars will definitely plant the World Tree, and Yang Zhou will not hide it.
After ten days, after the spaceship lands on Mars, the Creation Mushroom can also replicate the World Tree and if it is successfully planted, Yang Zhou will tell the secret base.
Don't worry about others suspecting how to research this black technology plant, Yang Zhou can deduce the gene storage inside the original fire source.
It's like an engine plant, this is not Yang Zhou's own research, and the explanation given to the above is the gene stored in the fire source.
At the moment, others don't know how to extract this gene, but everyone thinks they don't know the trick.
And the engine plant is now a profitable product of Yang Zhou Aerospace Company, and everyone thinks that Yang Zhou is for the benefit of the company and does not choose to disclose this technology.
In addition, Yang Zhou's aerospace company also has shares in the secret base, so there is no need to delve into some things.
With the countdown, the engine at the bottom of the cigar-shaped aircraft starts up.
After a loud bang, a mushroom cloud rose at the bottom, like an ultra-small nuclear bomb exploding under the engine.
The spacecraft also went straight into the sky because of the thrust reverse.
Scientists don't know the inner workings of plant engines, but they do have a thorough study of the external performance and know how to use thrust.
After liftoff, the original cigar-shaped spacecraft has its wings on both sides, allowing it to adjust its flight direction.
The engine plant below is also fine-tuned under the precise control of the computer.
After more than ten seconds, it disappeared from the surveillance screen.
The image on the big screen also turned into a red dot, as well as the ship's route.
It doesn't look like a straight line, but a slight arc.
Because the Earth itself is autobiographed, and the entire solar system is also moving, launching a rocket or a space shuttle from the Earth is not a vertical sky.
For example, when testing supermelt materials and launching heavy rockets, they circled the earth before docking with the space station.
However, this time there is no need to make contact with the space station, and the cigar-shaped spacecraft will rely on the Earth's gravity to make half a circle to point at Mars and enter the correct orbit.
Then, with the help of a gravitational slingshot, it broke away from the Earth's gravity and accelerated by countless small nuclear explosions, and finally reached the expected Martian orbit in about 10 days.
Everything is carefully calculated by supercomputing.
With all the parameters calculated, as long as the spacecraft does not have an accident, it should be able to reach the orbit of Mars.
For the next hour, Yang Zhou and all the people in the space base looked at the screen nervously, because the spacecraft still had to go through several dangerous periods.
The Earth's atmosphere is very thick, which can protect the Earth in normal times, but it is also an obstacle when the spacecraft is in the sky.
Fortunately, Yang Zhou's spaceship used a lot of precious materials at any cost.
The shells are all made of supermelt materials, and no less than ten replicant fungi are used, and if it weren't for the fact that the replicating fungi can be harvested a lot every day in the salt lake of Red Beach, and a large amount is stored, the space base would not dare to waste the replicating fungi so much.
These are all non-renewable resources, and how much can be produced depends on the will of God.
No one knows how to reproduce the replicating fungus.
Some leaders have chatted with Yang Zhou and asked this question before.
Under the guidance of Yang Zhou, now private enterprises are also participating in aerospace development, and the biggest problem they will face in the future is that supermelt materials may not be enough.
There are all kinds of radiation in the universe, and there are also high temperatures in the atmosphere, and if you use ordinary materials, all kinds of problems may arise.
However, with the use of supermelt materials, the impact of the environment can be ignored.
The reason why this launch was so fast was because of the supermelt material.
If it is ordinary special steel, it is necessary to consider the radiation problems encountered by the spacecraft in the universe, and the problems of high temperature and low temperature.
Now, as long as you build a supermelt shell and assemble various machines inside, you will not be affected in any way to build a laboratory.
Scientists only need to consider the dynamical structure.
In the nervous waiting of everyone, the big screen finally came to the picture, the wings of the cigar-shaped spaceship have been recovered, and there is no air in the universe at all, so the spaceship will not be affected no matter what shape it is.
The spaceship in some science fiction movies is like a city, and it is also because it is in a vacuum, and the direction of control no longer depends on the wings.
On the contrary, if the wings are too large, they are easy to be hit by meteorite garbage in space.
In the absence of a shield, the smaller the contact area, the better.
The shape of today's cigars is something that scientists have designed to accelerate, and it can also be accelerated by the engines at the front and rear ends.
"The earth is so beautiful!" A lot of people are sighing.
Tang Yue snuggled in Yang Zhou's arms, staring at the big screen without blinking, imagining that one day he would be able to take a spaceship, just like taking a plane to look at the sky, looking at the earth as a whole.
At present, there are only a few dozen astronauts who have witnessed the complete Earth with their own eyes.
"If nothing else, we will be able to ride next year." Yang Zhou whispered in Tang Yue's ear.
The voice of the commander was heard over the stereo.
"Get out of the Earth's gravitational orbit and adjust your form!"
Various parameters may have errors, so many of the thousands of researchers in the space base are staring at various data and manually adjusting the parameters at any time.
After the commander checked the status and asked everyone to adjust the parameters, soon the cigar-shaped spaceship engines in the universe began to adjust their positions.
The engines at both ends rotate ninety degrees vertically, and now the ends are beginning to bend 90 degrees, while the theme of the cigar-shaped spacecraft faces Mars laterally.
Naturally, everyone could not see the whole transformation process from the surveillance, and everyone only saw that the perspective began to rotate, and the earth was originally behind, but now it has moved to the left.
Naturally, this is not a change in the position of the earth, but the camera on the spacecraft is horizontal.
Of course, there were multiple cameras on the spaceship, and soon the staff adjusted the angle of view, and everyone saw the line of sight directly ahead.
There are also many new technologies used here, such as radar technology, which can scan long distances and find large meteorites in time to avoid collisions with meteorites.
In addition, there is an automatic identification system, and if you encounter cosmic dust that cannot be identified, you must also avoid it in time.
The spacecraft did not carry weapons, and if it did encounter countless cosmic dust, the entire spacecraft might also be damaged.
Therefore, the spaceship is actually similar to the ship, there are countless isolation compartments, and even if some cabins are damaged, they will not be completely destroyed.
The hardness of the engine completely exceeds the hardness of the supermelt material.
Even if the extremely fast speed hits the cosmic dust, small meteorites, iron blocks, and ice blocks, it will not stop the spaceship.
In astronautics without a protective shield, all kinds of dangers can be encountered at any time.
Even the space station may have some damage for various reasons, and the astronauts even need to go outside the space station for repairs and apply sealing materials.
"It seems that everything is going well, as long as it successfully lands on Mars, it doesn't matter if the spacecraft breaks." Yang Zhou said with a sigh of relief.
The more than 10 billion yuan has not been lost, and the most difficult places in front have been passed.
At present, there are only two last crises left, one is the emergency situation in the voyage, this threat is not particularly high, at present, human beings have launched vehicles to Mars and the moon, and there will be no problems under normal circumstances.
The last one is the landing on Mars.
In the past, Zhurong logged in, and it still relied on parachutes.
But the technology of the Zhurong cannot be applied to the cigar-type spacecraft, and the Zhurong is very small.
Cigar-shaped spaceships, on the other hand, are superships of tens of thousands of tons.
Relying entirely on the thrust of the engine's counter-thrust to land on Mars.
Of course, for Yang Zhou, it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, even if it falls on Mars in the form of a crash, there will be no problem in a closely protected biological laboratory.
This is a specially designed separate chamber that can launch certain experimental chambers into Mars as if they were projecting cannonballs, even if the spacecraft is severely damaged.
There was nothing to see next, Yang Zhou stayed at the space base until ten o'clock and was ready to return to Red Beach.
Tomorrow's press conference will also be held at Red Beach.
This time the launch was obviously successful, and some of the footage will be announced tomorrow, and it will be ten days before the specific landing on Mars can be successfully landed, and it will also be broadcast live at that time.
The worst-case scenario is to crash on Mars, but when it comes to publicity, it can be described as a successful login.
The crash can also advertise that the achievement is a forced landing on Mars in this way, which was originally a one-time Mars laboratory that does not return.
There was also a grand celebration ceremony at the secret base at night, and Yang Zhou didn't plan to participate.
Putting on his girlfriend and two friends, he asked for a helicopter and returned to the red beach in more than an hour.
After getting off the plane, he sent his two friends to live in the newly built hotel on Red Beach, and Yang Zhou took Tang Yue back to his home.
Yang Zhou didn't dare to mess around, there was still Tang Yue's mother at home, so Tang Yue followed Yang Zhou home, and he couldn't sleep together.
The two are not married yet, and this is not outside, so you still have to pay attention to proportions in front of your mother-in-law.
However, Yang Zhou still took Tang Yue's little hand and wandered around under the moonlight.
The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and today is another important occasion, full of people, and there is no chance to talk to each other.
Yang Zhou led Tang Yue to the poplar willow where Yang Zhou had announced that he had conquered cancer and drank the liquid of the cancer treatment plant.
"It feels like years have passed." Tang Yue looked at Hu Yangliu and sighed.
It was obviously a few months ago, but Tang Yue felt like decades had passed.
Because too many things happened in the middle, Yang Zhou cured cancer, successively launched a variety of plant medicines, his parents reconciled, Yang Zhou entered the aerospace field again, although Yang Zhou did not tell her about the engine plant, Tang Yue also knew that the spacecraft could go to the sky so soon, it must have something to do with Yang Zhou.
Yang Zhou found a piece of dead wood and sat down, let Tang Yue sit on his lap, and sighed: "Yes, I didn't expect the progress to be so fast." ”
"Yang Zhou, will we live on Mars in the future?" Tang Yue raised his head and asked with some admiration.
"Well, it's possible, in fact, many people are curious, why did I suddenly transition to the aerospace field, obviously an expert in plants, I have the plant genetic code, and I will tell you a secret." Yang Zhou put his head against Tang Yue's neck, breathed in the fragrance on her body, and whispered with a soothing expression.
These days, Yang Zhou also feels a huge pressure, especially after knowing the crisis of the big filter, it is like a mountain pressing on his head.
Fortunately, being terminally ill at the beginning greatly increased Yang Zhou's ability to resist pressure, otherwise he would have been crushed.
But in the face of the closest people, although Yang Zhou did not dare to tell the secrets of the system, he wanted to share the problem of the big filter.
Tang Yue was really curious, what was the secret?
"We are lucky enough to have discovered the scientific and technological achievements of prehistoric civilizations, of course, it may also be extraterrestrial technology, that is, the YZ bacteria and replication fungi you have seen, but after my research, it also contains a shocking secret, that is, civilization may encounter an extinction crisis!" Yang Zhou said with a sigh.
He has now perfected this set of statements, copying the spores YZ bacterial fire source, which is the previous civilization or alien technology, which saves him a lot of trouble.
Tang Yue had also guessed before that YZ bacteria and replicating fungi might be products of civilization.
Even if human DNA has always been created, some scientists suspect that it is the creation of a higher civilization, but they easily accepted Yang Zhou's statement.
"What extinction crisis?" She frowned.
"When civilization evolves to a certain extent, it may face unknown dangers, which may be the reason why we have not found aliens so far, the universe is very large, but human beings have never seen traces of aliens, not even a little radio wave has not been received."
"In the past, scientists speculated whether it would be because the civilization evolved to a certain extent, and it would encounter a bottleneck, and if it could not break through the bottleneck, it would always be stuck in place, and finally the civilization would die."
"But I deciphered some of the genetic code and learned the secret of the big filter!"
"When we master the atomic energy and start to explore the universe, the crisis may come, it may be the destruction of us by the advanced civilization, or it may be a raised hand in the dark to control the meteorite impact on the earth, after knowing the news, I will try my best to find a way back."
"Now that the spacecraft is about to land on Mars, it is one of the back roads I am looking for, and this time there is a special plant on the spaceship, which can modify Mars and adapt it to human existence." Yang Zhou said a lot.
Tang Yue was already stunned, much more shocked than watching the spaceship launch before.
Even if the spaceship fails, it will not endanger the safety of her, her family, and Yang Zhou.
But the secret that Yang Zhou is telling now is too shocking.
Mankind is in danger of destruction!
And his boyfriend discovered this secret in advance, and resisted everything alone, moving forward with a load.
For a while, Tang Yue didn't know how to express her emotions, she could feel Yang Zhou's pressure.
It may be the maternal emotional outburst in the genes, Tang Yue didn't know where the courage came from, so he got up slightly and hugged Yang Zhou reflexively, warming Yang Zhou with his chest.
Yang Zhou suddenly felt....
There is still half a bit of pressure in my heart, and now my mind is full of bad thoughts.
