In the beam channel to the moon, the neighbor 1 probe is getting faster and faster, and it is flying towards the moon at a rapid pace.

Fan Xiaoming looked at the big screen and said to Su Zhe, who was sitting next to him: "The beam channel of 380,000 kilometers, with an acceleration of up to 200 g, when it finally leaves the beam channel, its speed is 1,000 kilometers per second, which is too slow relative to the speed of light, and Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light-years away from us, at this speed, it takes more than 1,200 years to reach Proxima Centauri, which is too long." ”

"Yes! It's a long time. Su Zhe nodded, "With the current conditions, if you want to increase the speed, either there is a longer beam channel, or there is a stronger acceleration, the acceleration can be mentioned, and you can mention five hundred g." As for the beam channel, it depends on the actual situation. ”

"Yes!" Fan Xiaoming nodded, "The speed will hinder us from detecting the outer space of the solar system and the outer space of the solar system, five hundred g is enough for the time being, as for how long the beam channel to build, no matter how much it is said, it cannot be less than thirty astronomical units." ”

"With a beam channel of thirty astronomical units, plus an acceleration of five hundred g, its top speed can reach 10,000 kilometers per second." Su Zhe thought for a while and said.

"One-thirtieth the speed of light." Fan Xiaoming said, "It will take more than 120 years to go to Proxima Centauri at this speed, no, no, this time is still too long, 120 years, we must build a longer beam channel, at least to about a quarter of the speed of light, 70,000 kilometers per second." ”

"This ...... It's not easy. Su Zhe sighed.

"If you want me to say it! Even the speed of light is still too slow for the distance of the stars in the universe, if nothing else, it takes four years to travel at the speed of light to the nearest star closest to us, let alone those more distant stars. Fan Xiaoming said, "I think there must be an existence in the universe that is faster than the speed of light, but we have not discovered it." ”

"Yes! I think so too, there must be something beyond the speed of light, and one day we will find out. Su Zhe said seriously.

The two sighed for a moment and began to discuss how long the beam channel would be.

In just a few minutes, the two discussed.

It is planned to build a beam channel with a diameter of up to five kilometers parallel to the ecliptic plane of the solar system.

Its length is tentatively set at 60 astronomical units.

This distance is about the diameter of Neptune's orbit.

Just when Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming agreed, there was applause in the control hall.

The two looked at the big screen and saw that the neighbor's No. 1 detector was out of the beam channel.

At this moment, its speed is a thousand kilometers per second, and the acceleration changes from two hundred gs to twenty gs.

Under the uninterrupted illumination of the blue beam, the direction of the flight of the Neighbor 1 probe began to deflect.

When the Neighbor 1 probe flew a million kilometers from Earth, it flew in the direction of distant Proxima Centauri.

Its acceleration became zero, and its speed was 1,500 kilometers per second.

At this time, there was no longer a blue beam of light to charge the neighbor's No. 1 detector.

Fan Xiaoming looked at the fast-flying neighbor No. 1 probe on the big screen, and said with a sigh: "At this speed, it only takes fifty minutes to fly out of Neptune's orbit, and if you take the Oort cloud as the boundary of the solar system, you will know more than 100 days when you fly out of the solar system, and fly to Proxima Centauri, even if you can fly over, forget it." ”

Su Zhe smiled and said, "Don't be so hasty, in case we discover the existence of faster-than-light, even if we don't figure it out, I estimate that human exploration of Proxima Centauri will still be possible in our lifetime." ”

Fan Xiaoming smiled, nodded and said, "I believe in this, explore the universe!" What we need is faster-than-light technology and instantaneous communication technology. ”

"Yes! Then we can develop the entire universe. Su Zhe said and looked at the big screen, "It's not early, let's say hello to the headmaster on the moon and go back to sleep, we will continue tomorrow." ”

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming put on their equipment and entered the game cabin.

Moon, base plateau.

In a temporary warehouse with many humanoid robots, two adjacent humanoid robots moved.

The two humanoid robots looked at each other, and looked at "Su Zhe" and "Fan Xiaoming" from the top of each other's heads.

"Let's go! Let's go to the principal! Su Zhe said.

"I guess they're having a late-night snack right now." Fan Xiaoming said.

The two of them are very familiar with the layout.

After a while, the two of them came to the outside of the warehouse.

I saw that around the permanent base that was being built, there were many people in armored spacesuits flying around.

In this regard, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming understood it, and thought that they were the same as these people when they landed on the moon.

The two turned around for a long time and didn't find the principal, and finally shouted directly on the public channel, only to know that the principal was not flying around like everyone else, but was getting ready to sleep.

Knowing this, the two of them got into a space shuttle with the Black Wither.

After passing through several cabins, the two came to the rest area of the lunar landing personnel.

I saw the principal Xu Zhengping sitting at the desk in an indoor space suit, and there was a laptop on the table.

"Here we go! Sit down! Xu Zhengping smiled.

Looking at the two humanoid robots with "Su Zhe" and "Fan Xiaoming" floating on his head, he did not feel the slightest discomfort.

He tried to take off the helmet of his spacesuit and look at it again.

At this point, you won't see two names.

Now, he's getting more and more comfortable with spacesuits and humanoid robots.

"Headmaster! How does it feel, nothing uncomfortable, right? Fan Xiaoming asked.

"What can happen?" Xu Zhengping smiled, "Except for a little fluttering feeling, there is no difference between others and on earth." ”

"That's good! We have been worried about the principal's physical problems, and looking at the current situation, I am relieved. Su Zhe said and looked at the screen of his laptop.

It was found that the screen was showing the fast-flying Neighbor 1 probe.

"I'm getting better! Don't worry about me. Xu Zhengping said, "Have you watched the launch of Neighbor 1? ”

"I've seen it!"

"I'll look for you after reading it!"

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming nodded.

Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "The speed of 1,500 kilometers per second is already very fast, but to fly to Proxima Centauri, this speed is too slow, if you want to increase the speed, you must do more homework on strengthening the power and building a long-distance beam channel." ”

Hearing this, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming said that they had discussed, and Xu Zhengping listened with a smile.

"It's drip, it's drip! This should be done, even if a serious heavy-photon aerospace engine is developed, so that a beam channel with a diameter of up to 5 kilometers across the solar system with a length of 60 astronomical units is necessary. Xu Zhengping said excitedly, "Such a beam channel can not only provide energy to various spacecraft, but also transmit energy over long distances." ”

When Xu Zhengping was happy, the laptop rang, and it was an email from Han Li, the assistant to the principal.

After Xu Zhengping read the email, the whole person was excited.

"Headmaster! What are you seeing? Are you so excited? Fan Xiaoming asked.

Su Zhe looked at Xu Zhengping.

"Good news! Great news. Xu Zhengping said excitedly, "The results of the first batch of voluntary statistics in the country have come out, and our school has won a complete victory, 90% of the top students have filled in our school, 6% of the top students have chosen the University of Science and Technology, and the rest are divided by other universities, you see the statistics of the first batch of reports." ”

After Fan Xiaoming saw it, he said, "Not bad! Not bad! Except for the two provincial champions who went to the University of Science and Technology, the other champions all chose our school, and as a result, other colleges and universities are estimated to collapse after looking at it, of course, I am talking about the science champions. ”

"Other colleges and universities have been preparing for a long time." Xu Zhengping smiled, "It's only this session that can do this, and from the next session, the school enrollment will be graded to enroll." ”

"That's it! It seems that other colleges and universities can't afford to play! Fan Xiaoming said.

"The key is that our school recruits too many students." Su Zhe said.

Xu Zhengping thought for a while and said: "If we really want to keep doing this, then other colleges and universities will be completely defeated, to be honest, it is not good to be a monopoly." ”

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming nodded.

"This year's small goal is to be completed ahead of schedule, and after this busy period of time, the school is preparing to land on Mars and build a permanent base on Mars while participating in the development of the moon." Xu Zhengping said excitedly, "In the next few days, a large number of probes will occur in the school to Mars...... Work hard to land on Mars this year and build a permanent base on Mars. ”

"Count the days! There is still half a year to go, and it is feasible to complete these. Su Zhe said.

"How can landing on Mars be without me." Fan Xiaoming said, "I want to be the first person to land on Mars." ”

"Of course, I'm going to be part of the first batch." Xu Zhengping said excitedly.

The three chatted for a while, and Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming left the Black Wither Space Shuttle.

At this time, those who landed on the moon were still flying around as before.

Back in the storeroom at the beginning, after standing up, the name on the head of the humanoid robot disappeared.

……

Tamu Gobi, test airfield control hall.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming came out of the game cabin, looked at the big screen, and after seeing that everything was normal, the two left the control hall.

The next morning.

At the test airport, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Bao Qizheng were watching the test of a "flying car".

This flying car is a civilian flying car jointly developed by Sun Dahu and the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

It has four seats, a payload of half a ton, and a range of up to 200 km/h.

If you want to talk about the disadvantages, that is, the battery life is shorter, and when the battery is full, it can travel 200 kilometers.

However, the charging speed is fast enough, and it only takes three minutes to fully charge.

It's called a flying car because it still has four wheels.

If you run on the ground like any other car, this flying car has a range of 10,000 kilometers.

Fan Xiaoming looked at Sun Dahu, who was testing the flight, and said: "This car is very practical, it looks no different from ordinary cars, it can run on the ground and fly in the sky, I can't wait to experience it." ”

"Yes! It's quite practical. Su Zhe said, "The most important thing is that there is no noise when flying." ”

Bao Qizheng smiled and said: "Although this flying car is for civilian use, it is forbidden to export to foreign countries. ”

"Just forbid it!" Fan Xiaoming smiled, "They banned us before, and now it's our turn to ban them, according to the relevant policies, as long as it is not available abroad, all are banned." ”

In the past six months, from the beginning, domestic enterprises have expanded on a large scale abroad, engaged in infrastructure construction and industry.

Slowly, the wind direction began to change, especially after the successful moon landing.

At first, the focus was on foreign countries.

I want to occupy the market, build infrastructure and industry, and make money all over the world.

But I never expected that a simplified version of the heavy photonic aerospace engine would be made so quickly, and the moon landing would be successful so quickly.

Compared with the resources and energy resources of those foreign countries, there is no comparison with the entire solar system.

As a result, the country is faced with a choice, whether to focus on those countries abroad, or on the solar system beyond Earth.

After the successful landing on the moon, the relevant personnel in China discussed it and decided to focus on the uninhabited space.

In space, those asteroids and planets, as well as related resources and energy sources, are ownerless.

Starting from strength, it is first-come, first-served.

There is no reason to leave space undeveloped and develop foreign countries.

In his view, what is needed for development is people, science and technology, that is, knowledge, resources, and energy.

There are enough people in China, science and technology have basically surpassed, and there are not too many resources and energy in space.

That is, after the successful moon landing, those domestic and foreign enterprises are shrinking in an all-round way.

In fact, it is not these enterprises that have taken the initiative to shrink, but the domestic demand for personnel, especially those engineering and technical personnel, has increased substantially, resulting in a substantial increase in wages and related benefits.

According to the current internal policy, the relevant technology is banned from the outside world, and the development of the solar system is only allowed to participate in the country.

According to his estimates, in a few years, the gap between domestic and foreign countries will become wider and wider.

Just like the light pillar project, as long as it is partially completed, it can provide global energy use, but unfortunately, there is no domestic export idea.

Think about it, there is low-cost energy at home, and it is the same abroad as before.

Not to mention anything else, the game helmets and game pods that were first sold abroad have also become out of print, and now they are banned from export.

If this continues, the domestic and the foreign will soon become two different worlds.

Hearing Fan Xiaoming say this, Su Zhe and Bao Qizheng nodded.

In their view, with the existing strength in the country, it is absolutely crushing.

In the beginning, the SS-defense system was deployed shortly after it was deployed, and it was only possible to achieve local defense.

But now it is different, there are many SS-defense system probes deployed in space, which can not only detect in all directions and without dead ends, but also use the three stages of death light on board to strike.

Right now, unless you're hiding underground or in the deep sea, you can't escape the detection and attack of the SS-Defense system.

At present, the attitude at home is not to interfere in the development of those foreign countries, and to do a good job in the development of the solar system wholeheartedly.
