Chapter 192: Arriving at the Ship
Until the ellipsoidal metal body transporting the hibernation pod enters the hole above the ship,
These guard balls also don't seem to find anything abnormal,
Yang Meng was also secretly relieved about this situation,
transported by an ellipsoid,
The dormant pod reached a position above the polypore,
Because of gravity,
In this position, the movement of the metal ball is not frequent, which also gives Xiao Yin the opportunity to build a launch platform.
"Based on the frequency of the windless zone, it is expected that in 2 hours, the windless zone will pass through the ocean area above, and then the launch window will be obtained!"
Hearing Xiao Yin's voice,
Yang Meng glanced at the various data sorted out and continued to ask:
"How's the launch platform ready?"
"The launcher has been calibrated, the fuel has been filled, and it is ready to fire!"
Hearing such an answer, Yang Meng nodded silently,
Xiao Yin can prepare the launch platform so quickly,
It's not in vain that he borrowed all kinds of resources and energy from the clones during this time to print these things,
"That's right! Is there anything unusual about the clones?"
"No anomalies have been detected yet!"
Hearing such an answer, Yang Meng pondered for a while and said,
"When the hibernation pod is successfully transported to the ship,
It's time for the stolen equipment for resources and energy to be withdrawn to the spaceship."
"Understood!"
It will take a little time for the hibernation capsule to be delivered to the launch platform,
In this time,
Yang Meng is not idle,
The letter obtained from Cai Zhaoxin shows that
The artificial intelligence in his body is no longer very safe,
And after bringing Cai Zhaoxin back to the spaceship, Yang Meng also planned to set off to return to Earth.
And the closer you get to the solar system, the easier it is for instructions from Earth to be transmitted to the spacecraft.
Now that Cai Zhaoxin has given him a reminder,
Whether this reminder is true or not, he has to be prepared.
But how to deal with Xiao Yin, but Yang Meng couldn't make up his mind.
First of all, Xiao Yin's location, let this artificial intelligence deal with it, it's not a simple thing,
The place where Xiao Yin is implanted is the location of the nerve center under the brain,
Such a position can be said to affect the whole body,
There are a lot of things that need to be done to remove the implant chip.
And Yang Meng, who thought of this, touched the back of his head,
At the beginning, Yang Meng dared to let researchers implant chips in such a critical place.
Or is it because of his trust in the ground,
And in addition to trust, the astronaut alone,
Unable to independently control a pioneer spacecraft with tens of thousands of systems larger than an aircraft carrier,
It is necessary to have a large number of intelligent programs to assist in order to control this spaceship.
And Xiao Yin in his body is the chief operator of all the automated intelligent systems on the spacecraft.
And he is the operator of Xiao Yin,
It can be said that Xiao Yin is the steering wheel and key for him to start the spaceship.
And now in the face of what Cai Zhaoxin said,
In combination with his own judgment, he already has some ideas,
First of all, Yang Meng didn't have the idea of taking Xiao Yin out of his body.
After all, this is an important tool for him to control the spacecraft, and human researchers implanted it into the central nervous system.
is also to achieve a state similar to "soul binding",
The key to the spaceship will not be lost forever, and even if the ship is taken away by a ferocious alien civilization, the pioneer astronauts can still control the spaceship.
This is also why Cai Zhao taught Clone 1 a lot of spaceship operation knowledge
This is the reason why Clone 1 betrayed Cai Zhaoxin, but was unable to obtain control of the spaceship
One
As long as artificial intelligence is still in the bodies of pioneer astronauts,
The control authority of the spaceship, in the face of an existence below his own technological level,
There is basically no need to worry about losing control of the ship.
"At present, the situation of the solar system has not been completely determined, and Xiao Yin cannot be easily taken out!"
Yang Meng was thinking in his mind about where to move Xiao Yin.
But after thinking about it for a while,
found that there are not many places that can carry Xiao Yin,
As an artificial intelligence that interacts with the brain through neural action potentials to obtain bioelectricity,
A place where you can put Xiao Yin,
In addition to the most suitable brain nerve center, the only position that can be placed is the crest column.
If you take it into account, you can quickly remove Xiao Yin in an emergency,
It is also possible to select limbs and some other sensitive areas located in the protruding parts of the body,
However, those places are all in the nerve endings area, which has a great impact on Xiao Yin's operating efficiency.
"Speaking of which, how does Cai Zhaoxin deal with artificial intelligence?"
Yang Meng thought back to the content of the three pieces of data and found that there was no processing problem about artificial intelligence.
"Perhaps, something can be determined through Cai Zhaoxin's artificial intelligence status......
At this time, in the face of Xiao Yin, Yang Meng, who has always been decisive, also had some hesitation.
After all, Xiao Yin's affairs determine many things,
Artificial intelligence is located near the central nervous system,
Once artificial intelligence becomes unsafe, it means that his life is in danger.
But once the artificial intelligence is taken out,
He will lose direct control of the ship and will only be able to control it indirectly.
Fortunately, this hesitation did not last long, and soon Yang Meng made a decision and began to prepare.
In preparation, time came to the time for the launch of the hibernation capsule in a blink of an eye.
In Xiao Yin's prompt tone,
Yang Meng also put down the work in his hand and turned his vision to the launcher.
At this time, on the planet Ross 128, thick black clouds and mist crossed the sea like a curtain wall.
And after this storm,
But it's a strange silence,
Although the wind stopped, the waves on the sea did not stop so easily.
In the windless sea, there are still turbulent waves,
And it was in such a tumbling sea that polypore fungi floated up from under the sea.
Those big waves crashed into the dense holes of the pores,
As if it was absorbed by a sponge, it did not shake the position of the polypore fungus,
Among these polypore, there is an extremely large complex polypore fungus that also emerges.
In Yang Meng's detection data,
This polypore is comparable to some of the giant islands on Earth.
But here, looking up from space, this polypore is still a small existence,
It was at this moment that
In the distance, a dark curtain of clouds and storms appeared again, and the storm would soon hit.
The polypore fungus that floated up seemed to feel something and began to dive down,
At this moment, on the large compound polypore fungus, there was a burst of fire,
In the sunlight, a bright silver thing, pushed diagonally into the air by the blue flames,
soon
The white smoke left behind by the flames was engulfed by the black mist that swept from behind,
Seeing that this black furious convection zone is about to catch up with the flames in front,
But the magic is that the flames in front are always separated from the storm area behind by a fixed distance, so that the storm area cannot catch up, and you are in a windless zone.
Above the flames,
Because of Rayleigh scattering, the sky is getting bluer and darker.
No
I know when a silvery film of light appeared in the east covering the horizon,
Flying device, the sky above also turns solid black.
The thruster is silently separated from the silver metal ball,
Under the operation of the smaller one thruster, the entire metal ellipsoid continued to rise towards the night hemisphere.
"The delivery device has entered the planet's first cosmic velocity and is in the process of orbit adjustment.
It is expected to dock with the Boundless Oriental in 2 hours and 15 minutes!"
"Checking the internal status of the delivery device!"
At this time, Yang Meng, who was on the spaceship,
Seeing that the dormant cabin was successfully sent up, the heart that was holding on to it was slightly relaxed.
Although in terms of current space technology,
It is not a difficult thing to send a device of this size, to heaven,
But considering the state of the dormant cabin, Yang Meng was still a little worried.
"How's that?"
"During the launch, the gravity parameters and vibration state were within the normal range, and no damage was caused to the life in the dormant module!"
Hearing Xiao Yin's answer,
Yang Meng was completely relieved, and then he only had to wait for the dormant capsule to arrive.
At this time
He turned off the screen projected on the optic nerve and recalled that he had just been on the left side of Xiao Yin's assistant.
Extremely convenient launch process for what he has to do next.
Yang Meng hesitated again,
But thinking that he was going to face the unknown human beings a hundred years later, his heart became firm again.
"Actually, aliens aren't scary!"
"If mankind does not break through the controlled nuclear fusion technology, then due to the shortage of energy resources, it is very likely that mankind will die in civil strife!"
Yang Meng remembered the exchange with a certain scientific researcher,
The scientific researcher who is over 100 years old is the radio astronomer who sent a message to Rutan.
He has been questioned by countless people why the location of the Earth has been revealed to the depths of the universe.
And he was always silent,
And Yang Meng, as a pioneer astronaut, is going to Lutan Star, which is the galaxy that this astronomer has studied all his life.
The communication between the two of them naturally arises,
At that time, after the young Yang Meng learned about the deeds of astronomers, such questions also appeared,
Why did this astronomer lure aliens to Earth?
This is a very dangerous act, is it just for the sake of research?
The astronomer's answer is simple,
Let mankind get out of infighting and go to the universe,
At that time, there was no hope for controlled nuclear fusion technology.
In the absence of fusion energy, humans will still be trapped in the solar system,
Hopeless human beings can only suffer from internal friction,
When humanity learns that there are other civilizations in the universe, it may see hope......
The astronomer's remarks sounded a bit idealistic to Yang Meng, and he couldn't convince him.
In most people's minds,
The emergence of extraterrestrial civilizations may not bring hope, but panic.
What's more, once there is a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion, the situation of mankind will also change.
"Will controlled fusion technology surely lead to a better future for mankind?"
This is the astronomer's rhetorical question,
"Don't be in a hurry to answer? Think about it!"
Faced with this problem, Yang Meng thought for a long time,
From his personal experience,
Controlled nuclear fusion technology has made human beings on the earth free of food.
Under the proliferation of artificial food,
There are almost no more starving people on the planet,
Isn't this an ideal world for human beings to have food and clothing in mind?
?
This time, the astronomer did not answer his question directly, but said cryptically:
"We are facing a new crisis, and it is only because of this crisis that the Pioneer Space Exploration Mission is officially launched."
"Crisis! What's that?"
And as a pioneer astronaut,
I started training at a very young age.
As for the human world outside the training base, it is only through the medium in your hands to understand.
In the new era of fusion, he did not understand what the life of ordinary people was like.
He only learned from the mouth of the hundred-year-old astronomer,
The lives of most ordinary people are much better in some ways than they were before the fusion era.
But there are some things that are not as chic as the human beings lived before.
Yang Meng didn't know what this astronomer was referring to.
That visit ended in a hurry,
Soon after, the news of the astronomer's death came.
Now he remembered the words of the astronomer again:
"The infighting between humans may be much more terrifying than that of an unknown alien civilization!"
"So, why is there infighting within human beings now, and what is the current situation in the solar system?"
Yang Meng didn't know,
He can only silently prepare something,
Even if the situation in the solar system becomes a little weird,
But as a human being who has been away from the earth for a hundred years, he still misses that homeland:
"I really just want to go back to Earth!"
……
Two hours later, the hibernation pod slowly approached the location of the spacecraft.
While waiting, Yang Meng remembered something:
"What about those clones?"
Cai Zhaoxin mentioned in the letter that he hoped that the later pioneer astronauts would let go of the clones above.
"After determining whether Cai Zhaoxin is safe, we also need to figure out how the clone managed to launch that pebble!"
Yang Meng muttered something while floating to the docking cabin,
At this time, Xiao Yin's prompt sound was also reminding him that in another 6 minutes, the dormant cabin would be automatically rendezvous and docking.
And at the same time as Yang Meng rushed to the sleeping cabin,
Xiaoguang finally stopped observing Clone 617,
Instead, he floated up and followed Yang Meng to the docking cabin,
Regarding Xiaoguang's behavior, Yang Meng did not interfere,
And at this moment he noticed a bright spot in the porthole on the side,
Because the spaceship is located behind the planet's day hemisphere,
Therefore, against the backdrop of the night hemisphere, this highlight is particularly conspicuous.
The bright spots slowly brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually the outline of a capsule appeared.
"Docking......
"The docking has been successfully completed!"
"...... under examination"
"Inspection complete!"
"The hatch is open, and the automatic delivery is underway!"
Yang Meng, who had already prepared all kinds of undertaking equipment, stood in front of the hatch,
Watch as the pure white hibernation pod is slowly transported in.
At this time, the various values on the sleep pod are beating on a screen,
This also means that the hibernation chamber is still in operation,
As a place for astronauts to sleep, the hibernation capsule has the function of a certain escape capsule.
In the event of a problem with the spacecraft, if the astronauts are too late to wake up, the entire hibernation capsule can be sent into the escape device.
therefore
It's not a strange thing that the hibernation pod is still functioning normally at this point.
"Then it's time to determine what's going on in the capsule!"
