In fact, there are many things about Xiaoguang, Yang Meng didn't ask clearly,

Questions such as the merging of consciousness, the prolongation of consciousness, the specific methods of stabilizing the world of consciousness, and most importantly, whether human consciousness can be used as fuel for the survival of small lights.

He asked these questions directly or indirectly, as if asking them sideways.

The answer that can be obtained from Xiaoguang is not very clear,

With his many years of distance from human society and neglect of communication and mediation, he has not been sure to judge the truth or falsehood of Xiaoguang's words.

Even if it was the historical process of the Rutans that Xiaoguang described before, he remained skeptical,

Fortunately, he was not alone.

Xiao Yi packaged the content of Xiaoguang's communication with him during this time and sent it back to Earth.

Yang Meng hopes that the earth side can analyze Xiaoguang's words to a certain extent.

There are humans who are better at this, and he will be able to determine something when he gets a reply from Earth.

And in terms of time,

Before he reaches the Ross 128 system, he should be able to hear back from Earth.

And during this time, he continued to observe Xiaoguang.

……

The human spaceship named the Boundless East, still sailing forward in the silent universe,

Because of the gradual departure from the star Rutan,

There is no moving frame of reference around, and the entire spaceship seems to be stationary in the brilliant star map of the Milky Way.

Only a few dust particles streaked across the outer side of the ship,

It indicates that this strange spaceship is flying at a speed unimaginable to humans,

And in the course of such a flight,

The spaceship is also undergoing these strange changes,

The appearance of this spaceship looks like a normal human spaceship, with a very beautiful appearance,

But at the front of the spaceship there is a very large block.

This makes the ship's appearance look a little weird.

And if you look closely, you will find that

The huge block in front of the ship is made up of small blocks of different colors.

At this moment, a levitating robotic arm is slowly taking out a block and transporting it to other parts of the ship.

As the metal block reached the flank of the spaceship, Yang Meng in the spaceship heard Xiao Yi's voice:

"The counterweight has been reassigned, and the ship can accelerate further!"

Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Yang Meng nodded lightly,

Then I looked out the porthole,

Within Yang Meng's field of vision, an extremely bright star came into his eyes,

The stars are yellowish-white,

And strangely, something seems to have stretched the starlight of this star a little,

"Nanhe San, it's getting clearer and clearer!"

Looking at this binary star system that was 1 light year away from him, Yang Meng roughly estimated the arrival time,

"According to Xiao Yi's calculations, the spacecraft can eventually accelerate to 17% of the speed of light, and stabilize the speed at about 17% of the speed of light!"

"At this rate, it will take about five to six years to reach the vicinity of the Nanhe three-star system!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng sighed secretly,

The speed of light of 17% is nowhere near the maximum speed of the ship.

Yang Meng also thought that he could reach Nanhesan faster and replenish the remaining resources.

But unfortunately, the factors that affect the speed of the spacecraft, in addition to the continuous acceleration kinetic energy provided by the spacecraft thrusters,

It is also affected by many factors,

One of the factors is that the "road conditions" to Nanhesan are not good.

According to the fart theory,

In a cosmic environment that is completely vacuumed and not disturbed by gravity,

The kinetic energy produced by human farting can theoretically affect a celestial body that is not disturbed by any external force.

If this human has an infinite lifespan and can produce infinite farts,

Then over time,

Trillions of years from now, any celestial object that is not affected by any external force can be accelerated to nearly the speed of light.

However, there is no celestial body in the universe that is not affected by external forces.

The Milky Way, which is so large that the Milky Way is affected by the expansion of the universe, is heading towards the Andromeda Galaxy at the speed of one thousandth of a thousandth of the light, and collides with the Andromeda Galaxy about 3.5 billion years later,

Satellites as small as extraterrestrial need to maintain a certain orbiting speed to avoid being attracted by gravity and crashing on Earth.

All kinds of celestial bodies known to mankind are affected by various external forces and are doing some kind of movement at the macroscopic level.

However, there is an extremely complex gravitational disturbance region near Rutanxing and Nanhesan.

This makes it necessary for the ship to maintain a low speed when driving on this uneven road.

"Fortunately, the heavy metal elements found on Ice Medisos can also be used as ballast stones to stabilize the navigation process.

It's a little slower, but it's safer! ”

Looking at the metal blocks around the spaceship,

Yang Meng recalled the situation when he was mining heavy elements near Ice Medisos before,

For the huge number of heavy elements, Yang Meng has not used them up, and he still leaves a large part of the heavy element metals.

Originally, he planned to abandon these heavy element metals,

After all, the greater the mass of the ship,

The greater the amount of energy that needs to be accelerated,

Even if mankind has mastered the infinite energy source of controlled nuclear fusion,

However, it is still difficult to accelerate a massive object.

Propelling a massive celestial body like the Earth to escape the solar system requires more propulsion than you can imagine.

But when Xiao Yi detected the gravitational perturbation between Nanhe-san and Rutan,

At Xiao Yi's suggestion,

Yang Meng still brought the remaining heavy elements onto the spaceship and formed a counterweight, which became an existence similar to a ballast stone.

In the complex gravitational disturbance "wave" region formed by three large celestial bodies, the larger the spacecraft and the deeper the "draft", the less susceptible to gravitational disturbance.

On the contrary,

The faster the spacecraft, the more susceptible it is to gravitational fluctuations.

This effect is especially pronounced between 15% and 79% of the speed of light.

In addition to the bumps caused by gravitational fluctuations,

The cosmic dust and stellar winds encountered by the spacecraft during the voyage will also test the state of the spacecraft.

However, at the current speed of the spacecraft, the problems caused by the impact of cosmic dust and high-energy charged particle streams are not the main problem.

……

After carefully checking the flight status of the spacecraft,

Seeing that all kinds of data are in a normal state,

Yang Meng finally planned to sleep, after all, the human lifespan is extremely limited, and if his limited life is wasted on a long voyage, it is an act that does not outweigh the losses.

But in order to hibernate,

Yang Meng still needs to confirm two things,

The first is the state of the sleeping pod.

During this time, he has been debugging the hibernation pod,

Therefore, the inspection of the sleeping chamber was completed very quickly.

And after confirming that the hibernation pod can work properly,

He looked at the small light on the side, and at this time, the flickering frequency on the small light was extremely weak, and it seemed to have entered some kind of dormant state.

And the second thing he's going to do,

It is to ensure that in the process of hibernation, Xiaoguang will not have any problems here!

He also needed to take a closer look at Xiaoguang.
