Chapter 64: Into Deep Space
The visit to the dockyard deeply shocked Yang Weili, which is the ultimate imagination of human beings in their own technology.
The grand space project in the science fiction movie is just what it looks like in front of you.
In other words, in recent years, human science fiction works have not been able to keep up with the speed of human development.
Obviously, there are already such projects in deep space, but in the science fiction movies in the fleet, mankind's space career is still stuck in Mars and Jupiter.
The cutting-edge research institute, of course, is not allowed to let him in and visit.
But after following the guide to visit the open part of the dock, it was already three days later.
Once, when Yang Weili knew that an unknown fleet was about to visit the solar system, he was still wondering why Blue Star was still unhurriedly promoting the promotion of science and technology.
At this point, it is time to build a shelter or start a human escape plan.
But at this time, after seeing the speed of the construction of this dock and the science and technology hidden in human civilization, he realized that human beings have the ability to protect their homeland!
Solar system...... It is the solar system of mankind.
Yang Weili, who has mastered a lot of astronomical data, understands that once stars become the batteries of stellar civilizations, not to mention whether the deteriorating environment in the star system can still give birth to civilizations, this already poor star system alone may not be able to give birth to a stellar civilization!
So, the solar system must not be turned into a mine for an unknown fleet!
Firmly aware of this, Yang Weili ended the visit, and there were no more waves in his subsequent break.
"Why is there such a thing as a shift in the era of intelligence!!"
Boehner was bored leaning on the Penglai's external armor on the hoverboard, and beside him, Yang Weili, wearing a dark green military uniform, was meticulously operating a large drone to inject a jar of black nanobot solution into the inner groove of the slightly damaged external armor.
"And why are we on duty in three shifts, we are so unlucky to smoke the first two shifts with the shortest free time!!
Yang Weili ignored the beep of the guy next to him, and connected to the shipboard host with a personal computer: "The addition of nanobots has been completed!" ”
The host of the Penglai immediately replied: [Thank you Major Yang for your assistance! 】
As it recovered, the damaged external armor of about five square meters in front of Yang Weili made a rustling sound on the dock of the spaceport. Immediately, the damage that would have been scrapped on an ordinary small machine slowly began to heal, and after a few breaths, the external armor damaged in the live-fire training was restored to its original state.
"It's all done mechanically and automatically, so why do we have to come out and do it ourselves?" Boena, who was making up 100,000 reasons in space, asked boredly.
Yang Weili shared the repair data recorded on the personal computer with Bona, who had done nothing on the side, and explained in a serious tone: "The subtleties are true! The actual repair speed of external armor is very important knowledge, and sometimes blindly believing in theoretical values can be a failure. ”
Bohna saw that Yang Weili had finally accosted him, and hurriedly jumped to another topic: "Then if I look at this data carefully, can I show me the photos of my sister sauce?" ”
“.”
This crumbs man who spends like crazy on androids is still thinking about my sister? And also added modal words!
A few days ago, when I sent a holographic projection message to my family, I was accidentally seen by this guy, and since then I have called him "Uncle".
Yang Weili silently undid the shared data and controlled the hoverboard to float towards another area of the spaceship. The sudden movement staggered Bonner, who was leaning on the ship's armor, and then he relied on his excellent body balance to quickly get himself on his feet.
"Uncle! You're murdering your brother-in-law! ”
Next time, arrange for your physical participation in the live-fire simulation!
Then let the logistics guys rebuild your parts and fighter fragments together!
Yang Weili ignored this guy anymore, and used the drone to pull out a jar of black nanobot solution from the box carried under the red hoverboard, ready to try to spray directly onto the damaged armor to observe the effect of such an emergency treatment.
Seeing that Yang Weili had returned to his serious appearance, Bona continued to write 100,000 whys: "Why can't Penglai have an independent position?" So that we can ......"
So many questions? You're a three-year-old, right!?
Yang Weili silently complained in his heart, and the progress in his hand was steadily advancing. The black nanobots and the medical nanobots use the same working principle.
It's just that black nanorobots carry high-strength nanomaterials, and medical nanorobots carry all kinds of substances needed by the human body. In addition, industrial nanorobots will eventually attach to parts and components with the materials they carry, and nanorobots used by the human body must be excreted after completing their tasks.
Scientists have also tried to recycle and reuse nanorobots that have lost their vitality after the completion of the task, but after the actual market operation, they found that it is better to re-produce a set of high-cost recycling and reactivation equipment in this era of extremely rich resources!
After Yang Weili finished his shift, he began to practice the subtle work of the spacecraft one by one.
These officers will soon become captains of human space warships in the future.
The subtleties of mastering a spaceship at this moment may be useless, but it may be possible to save a spaceship when it can be used in the future!
The rest time was over in a blink of an eye, and before setting off again, the commanders awarded all officers the 'Advance Medal' and the 'Great Wall Medal' in recognition of the smooth progress of the exercise!
[This is the Great Wall of Space Base, this is the Great Wall of Space Base. I wish the Deep Space Fleet a smooth road ahead of the thousands of miles. 】
[This is the Deep Space Fleet, this is the Deep Space Fleet. I wish the Great Wall of Space base a smooth project. 】
[Long live human civilization!] 】
[Long live human civilization!] 】
The departure ceremony in space was all about efficiency, and the departure of the fleet did not attract onlookers from the personnel of the base, because the task on the shoulders of the construction personnel was much heavier than theirs.
Starting from the Great Wall of Space base, the fleet of three of humanity's most advanced spacecraft finally has its own code name.
According to the original plan, they will not go directly to deep space, but will conduct the first deep space test.
Day 12 after leaving the base. Bona and Yang Weili were on duty together for another day.
"It's boring! So boring!! After diverging with the other two ships, our maneuvers were reduced by 95 percent. The 3D printers of the logistics masters have not produced parts of our fighters for so long, are they all about to rust! ”
A projection villain was between the two, and then Boehner's topic: "No way, I've collected almost all the data that should be collected on military weapons before." And logistics are just as busy every day now, not as idle as you are at all! ”
"Shut up! You Indian! Talking so much, why don't you come to a fighter battle with me? ”
While learning how to use a beam cannon to cut an asteroid, and then using a remote-controlled intelligent machine to mine, Yang Weili was not in the mood to care about Bona, who was doing nothing next to him.
The Penglai did not carry any cargo after departing from the Great Wall of Space Base, because the Great Wall of Space Base was already building a terrible gold-devouring beast - a dock, and after devouring the materials brought by the fleet from the forward base, it did not give the fleet any supplies!
But it's a pity...... This is also part of the exercise mission!
The fleet is located in the Kuiper Belt, which is the main source of short-period comets in the solar system, such as the famous Halley's Comet.
However, the Penglai was not so lucky, and happened to encounter it. The current Halley's Comet does not know in which corner of the solar system it is dangling.
Here, six billion kilometers from the sun. Looking at the Sun here is only a little brighter than looking at Venus on the blue star.
The Sun, the unremarkable star of the universe, has become a point of light, losing all its features of detail. But even at such a distance, it still dominates everything here by the gravitational pull generated by its mass.
In the Kuiper Belt, Pluto, Xena, Sedna and other celestial bodies are still orbiting around the bright spot in the distance along with countless cold stones.
Here, it's cold and dark. Loneliness is the eternal melody of the universe, and light is a rare scenery in the universe.
There are at least 100 million celestial bodies scattered within this huge space, and for the Deep Space Fleet, one of their exercise tasks is to obtain material from these celestial bodies and then make a long voyage!
Now Penglai is far away from the area of the Great Wall of Space for resource collection, as soon as it encounters an asteroid marked with resources in the database, it will pay attention to, a small piece of asteroid will be directly let the detection instrument punch and sample, and a large piece of asteroid will be cut with a beam cannon to collect directly, and the end is a bandit into the village!
However, this is also the usual method used by human beings to mine asteroid minerals, and it can be regarded as confirming Bona's previous ridicule - the Enterprise is a fart space battleship, it should be an armed mine ship!!
The other two ships parted ways not long ago, after all, even in the asteroid belt, materials are still relatively scarce here.
Yang Weili understands that in the universe, the place where meteorites fly is not the most dangerous place, but the most dangerous place is the empty place.
Once this opportunity to replenish materials is missed, in the future in the Oort Nebula, where materials are scarce, the entire fleet may become cold cosmic matter due to the exhaustion of energy, drifting with the tide in infinite space.
Therefore, no matter how boring it is, he meticulously disassembles the valuable asteroid parts.
This kind of material collection work lasted almost a month.
There is no way, the Great Wall of Space base needs a terrible mass of matter, and in the future, when it is at full power to produce spaceships, the matter to be devoured will be even more terrifying.
Therefore, in preparation for that time, the mining of valuable asteroids near the base star field was prohibited, so that the fleet had to circle the edge of the solar system for a long distance to replenish materials in other star fields.
It only took a month for the three spaceships to fill up the warehouse, and according to the factory design of the spacecraft, the three spaceships can now sail in space for more than a hundred years!
This is the day when they really set off for the unknown Oort Nebula.
The ship began to accelerate towards its limits, and everyone entered the hibernation chamber according to the regulations.
However, such a hibernation pod is not a state of complete sleep, and through virtual reality, everyone can still control everything about the ship.
Yang Weili has been observing the strength of the solar wind.
Solar wind refers to a stream of charged particles from supersonic plasma ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun.
In the absence of the Sun, this stream of charged particles is also often referred to as a "stellar wind." The solar wind is a continuous stream of high-velocity charged particles that comes from the Sun and moves at a speed of 200-800 km/s. Although this substance is different from the air on the earth in that it is not composed of gas molecules, but is composed of simpler elementary particles that are one level smaller than atoms, such as protons and electrons, the effect of their flow is very similar to that of air flow, so it is called solar wind.
Because this was the only thing he could find in the Oort Nebula, the only familiar thing he could find, the last anchor point for the solar system that he, a human being who was gradually moving away from the solar system, could find.
As the fleet went deeper and deeper into the nebula, the speed of the solar wind slowly decreased, which meant that the influence of the sun on the area was getting weaker and weaker.
Gradually, gradually, the speed of the solar wind decreased from a few hundred kilometers per second to less than the speed of sound of 340 meters per second.
The fleet has come to the edge of the solar system.
Beyond will be the world of an infinite amount of interstellar medium.
Here, there is the heliopause. Here, 18 billion kilometers from the sun, it is the true boundary of the solar system.
Under the influence of the interstellar medium, the speed of the solar wind finally dropped below the speed of sound. Here, the solar wind will have a fierce confrontation with the interstellar medium, and countless particles will collide violently in the vast space, where the temperature is as high as several thousand degrees Celsius.
It's cold and dark here, and humans will be frozen into ice in an instant, but the temperature here is indeed as high as several thousand degrees Celsius.
Voyager 2 is almost 18 billion kilometers away from Earth, and found a "wall of fire" with a maximum temperature of 50,000 degrees Celsius, which is theoretically this thing.
Temperature is simply a physical quantity that measures the intensity of the thermal motion of an object's molecules.
There's so little and so little that the temperature is too high, but it doesn't have any effect on the ship.
Otherwise, Voyager 1 and 2 would have perished in this wall of fire.
Once it passes through here, the Sun will have no other means to influence the outer space environment other than gravity.
Yang Weili looked at the data fed back by the probe, the number of high-energy charged particles from the sun slowly decreased to the point of finally disappearing, looking at the bright spot in the distance, which was already a little dim and not much different from the rest of the stars in the universe, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Sun! Your child says goodbye to you.
This is not to abandon, but to protect.
Protecting human civilization is also protecting you from being preded by other civilizations.
Human fleet, march into deep space!
