With the successful ignition test of the nuclear fusion engine, the manufacturing of the remaining components of the spacecraft has also entered the final stage, and it will be transported by maglev train and sea, and it will be delivered to the alliance's general hoisting and docking park.

The assembly of the spacecraft began in earnest.

Due to time constraints, many important parts could not be backed up.

It can be said that they are the only ones that exist.

For example, the engine.

In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the assembly is smooth and there must be no problems in the process.

Otherwise, once the parts are damaged, no replacement can be found.

For this reason, Xu Yun deliberately went to the assembly park in person to command the work.

At the same time, in order to increase the public's confidence in coping with the crisis of the planet, the entire spacecraft assembly process was broadcast live to the world, so that all mankind could witness the birth of the first nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft of human civilization.

Time flies like a white horse.

It's fleeting.

Soon another month passed.

A spaceship the size of an aircraft carrier has finally taken shape.

At this time, if you click into the live broadcast room, you can see a black spaceship in the field of vision.

There's a lot of engineering staff up there.

The audience, who was still in awe of the crisis of the God Destroying Star, suddenly disappeared with fear when they saw the successfully created Pilot.

All that's left is excitement.

The number of barrages is refreshed at a very fast rate.

If you don't pause, you won't even be able to see the content of the barrage clearly with the naked eye.

"It's huge."

"Is this our first fusion-powered spacecraft, it's amazing!"

"It feels like this should all be called a starship."

"With the Pilot, I really can't imagine how that asteroid hit the earth, human civilization is not the dinosaurs of more than 60 million years ago."

"I hope it will be broadcast live then."

"This response to the crisis of the god destroying star will be the best eulogy of human civilization."

……

Xu Yun naturally had no free time to check the heat of the outside world due to the pilot, and under his personal command, the assembly progress of the pilot increased rapidly, approaching 100% in just one month.

The first sea trials are about to take place.

Before the spacecraft officially went to Mars for its mission, there was a sea trial.

The main human beings only have one chance, and they will also carry a large number of nuclear bombs and various space equipment, and if there is an unexpected situation during the voyage, the consequences will be unbearable for human beings.

After all, no matter how good the design drawings are, the specific ones must be subject to the actual thing.

What's more, this time it is still manufactured and assembled in batches, and the quality of each part will inevitably be a little uneven.

October 23, 2033.

Sunday.

Imperial Capital General Control Center.

In the spacious command hall full of science and technology, dozens of top academicians from many countries around the world are seated at this moment.

Except for Xu Yun, the chief scientist of the alliance.

It also includes Rickett, Zhou Mingwei, Sun Zhenghong and others, as well as Lei Ming, who looked nervous.

With the completion of the final verification, the Pilot will officially carry out the sea trial mission today, and make the final and full preparations for solving the crisis of the Destroyer.

At stake in the future of human civilization, it is only natural that all the scientists invited to join the Space Security Alliance should be in place.

It is also an acknowledgment of their contributions.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that there were no astronauts involved in this trial voyage, and the whole process was controlled by artificial intelligence in the deep sea, and the mission content was to transport a batch of equipment resources to the lunar base.

"The final inspection of the Pilot is complete."

"The deep sea has been connected."

"The route is being determined......

……

"The Pilot is ready, is it activated?"

At this time, a series of instructions sounded in the hall, and the last question of the operator immediately stirred the nerves of everyone present, and they instantly became tense and did not dare to have any more distractions, for fear of missing the moment when the pilot was activated.

Xu Yun is the chief scientist of the Alliance for Human Space Security and the overall leader of the Pilot project.

Faced with this situation, naturally no one is more suitable to give this order than him.

Under the eager gaze of many scientists around him, his lips opened lightly and calmly spit out those two words.

"Start."

Almost as soon as the sound fell, the deep sea successfully received the highest authorization, and the next second the fusion engine began to operate, providing a steady stream of power to the spacecraft.

At the same time, the data of the pilot is also synchronized to the main screen of the master control center in real time.

It is another important moment in the history of the development of human civilization, and hundreds of millions of people around the world are also witnessing it through live broadcast.

When the blue tail flame erupted from the bottom of the ship, the behemoth of the Pilot also rose into the air smoothly, and disappeared from view in an instant.

Leaving countless people deeply shocked.

No matter how fast the barrage in the live broadcast room is refreshed, it can't express the mood at the moment.

"it!"

"It's so handsome."

"From the moment nuclear fusion was conquered, I knew that human civilization had entered a new dimension, but it was not until just now that I understood that the development of human science and technology was unstoppable."

"I can't imagine that the Navigator can reach 10 percent of the speed of light at the earliest."

"Mom asked me why I was rolling around in bed."

"The moment the spaceship starts, I get goosebumps directly, this is the real sci-fi blockbuster into reality."

"It's just a little god destroyer jumping off the beam."

……

Compared with the liveliness in the live broadcast room, the hall of the general control center is still full of serious atmosphere, and everyone is staring at the real-time data on the screen.

It wasn't until I didn't know who couldn't help shouting that the atmosphere eased slightly.

"The Pilot's speed is one hundredth of a light!"

After everyone confirmed this matter, the whole hall burst into warm applause.

Due to the distance between the Earth and the Moon, coupled with the initial acceleration process and the deceleration process near the destination, the spacecraft is destined to be unable to sail at full speed, and being able to reach the speed of one hundredth of light is considered a successful sea trial, knowing that it only takes a few minutes to go to the Moon at this speed.

In addition, the rest of the spacecraft's data were normal and stable during the voyage, indicating that the Pilot successfully passed the test.

It is a nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft with excellent performance.

Enough for the mission of Destroyer.

"From scratch to scratch, it took three years, and we all gave a lot." When the applause gradually stopped, Xu Yun faced everyone, said the first two sentences with full emotion, paused for two seconds and continued: "But I have also gained a lot, and the success of the current trial of the Pilot is the best proof." ”

"Human civilization will always remember today, remember all of you."

When he finished speaking, he could see that the faces of the others were also full of strong emotions.

My heart is full of pride.

The successful trial of the Pilot marked the achievement of the original objectives.

It is no exaggeration to say that now that mankind has a pilot, the crisis of the god destroying star is nothing.

Even if a similar crisis arises in the future, it can be easily resolved to ensure the continuation of human civilization in the universe.

And these people can be called the biggest heroes.

It must be remembered in history.

It is written into textbooks.

As a scientific researcher, I can achieve such an achievement, and there are no regrets in life.

Seeing everyone's performance in his eyes, Xu Yun's originally nervous mood finally relaxed, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

Then he glanced at the sailing time of the spacecraft, and muttered to himself: "The astronauts in the Yuegong-1 base should have received the supplies sent by the Pilot, and it's time to start solving the crisis of the Destroyer." ”

——

As Xu Yun expected.

Under the control of the artificial intelligence deep sea, it only took a few minutes for the pilot to successfully reach the sky above the Yuegong-1 base.

Most of that time was spent on deceleration.

Sun Yingxin is an astronaut stationed at the Yuegong-1 base, and it has been almost two years since he first carried out a mission to the moon base.

During this period, he frequently traveled between the Moon and the Earth.

It is already an older and experienced astronaut.

As early as a few days ago, he received an order from the Imperial Capital General Control that the spacecraft pilot, developed by the Human Space Security Alliance, would go to the lunar base to transport supplies.

For this reason, he specially put on an extravehicular spacesuit today and came to the surface of the moon from the base to greet him.

Beside him was a female astronaut.

He is a newcomer who has just settled in the moon base this year.

"Team Leader Sun, is there an exact time for the arrival of the Pilot, are we going to wait here?"

At this time, Sun Yingxin heard the voice from the communicator, subconsciously glanced at his teammates next to him, and then thought about it and replied: "The spaceship has already departed from the earth, and it shouldn't take too long." There was a clear uncertainty in his tone.

They travel back and forth between the earth and the moon with the help of Shenzhou spacecraft and rockets, and the speed is certainly not satisfactory.

Coupled with the fact that they had been stationed at the moon base during this time, even if they knew that the Pilot was using nuclear fusion power, they were not sure of its speed.

Staying on the lunar surface is definitely riskier than staying in a lava tube cavern base.

Even if the extravehicular spacesuit on the body is the latest generation.

The longer you stay on the moon, the higher the probability of danger.

If something unexpected happens, I am afraid that it may not be possible to return to the base safely.

It's normal to have concerns.

Sun Yingxin, as an old man, understands this better.

But when I thought of the order from the general control, there was a little entanglement in my heart.

However, just as he was about to explain the situation to the general control, the voice of his teammate next to him was heard again in the communicator, and it was filled with a slight trill.

"Team leader, look at the above~"

Hearing the sound quickly lifted the bulky mask helmet, his eyes falling through the mask to the sky above the moon.

I saw a huge black flying machine crashing into view.

It has a strong visual impact.

If it weren't for the familiar coating logo on the aircraft, I am afraid that it would have been thought that aliens had invaded the solar system.

But just this Sun Yingxin was stunned for a few seconds.

It was only after coming back to his senses that a voice full of excitement appeared in the communication device.

"It's the Pilot."

"This is our fusion-powered spacecraft."

"Let's get over there."

The female astronaut next to her seemed to be still immersed in the shock brought by the Pilot, and she couldn't imagine that she had come from the earth to the moon in just a few minutes, as if she had forcibly re-established her worldview.

It wasn't until he saw that his team leader had already walked over with his steps that he hurriedly followed.

This will allow the Pilot to land in a suitable area under the control of the deep sea and open the hatch on its own initiative.

Before and after Sun Yingxin and his teammates arrived, they stood in place, ready to greet the astronauts in the spacecraft according to the tradition of the space team.

The instructions he received only knew that supplies would be delivered today, and judging from experience, there would definitely be astronauts accompanying him, not to mention that the size of the Pilot was still so large.

So when several space robots walked down from the spaceship carrying supplies.

The two of them were dumbfounded.

"This is the latest space robot developed by the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, is there no astronaut in the spacecraft?"

"Team Leader."

"It seems that space robots are also on this list." The female astronaut heard the somewhat unexpected voice of the leader of the communication equipment, and took over the conversation and added casually.

With the gradual increase in the number of lunar bases, the functions of the original lunar rover can no longer meet the demand.

Serious impact on efficiency.

After all, a controlled nuclear fusion device has been successfully built on the moon.

You don't have to worry about energy.

To this end, the Aerospace Science and Technology Group has redesigned and researched a new type of space robot on the basis of the lunar rover.

Able to perform more tasks in place of astronauts.

After figuring out the situation of this batch of materials, Sun Yingxin no longer wasted time.

"Let's go back."

After conveying the order to his teammates with the help of communication equipment, he turned around and followed the space robot back to the entrance of the base, without continuing to pay attention to the Pilot.

Probably affected by the shocking scene when the Pilot landed just now, the female astronaut suddenly asked on the way back to the base: "Team leader, do you think we can solve the crisis of the Destroyer?" ”

As astronauts, they need to stay at the moon base for a long time, and it stands to reason that even if the earth is hit by the planet, it will not affect them in a short time.

But as a member of human civilization, we certainly don't want the planet to suffer any harm.

In particular, seeing that the time for the destruction of God to reach the Earth is getting closer and closer, there are also worries when carrying out missions on the lunar base.

It wasn't until the figure of the Pilot was imprinted in her mind just now that she felt more relieved than ever.

It seems that in the face of the human-made Pilot, the Destroyer is nothing.

It was precisely because she thought of this that she subconsciously asked Sun Yingxin such a sentence, she knew that her team leader would never lie to her.

Hearing the voice in the communicator, Sun Yingxin's body stopped abruptly.

Then he deliberately turned to face his teammates, and replied with unprecedented affirmation: "We will definitely solve the crisis of destroying the gods, and the nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft built by Academician Xu and the scientists is the best proof of this." ”

"I believe the news of the complete destruction of God Destroyer by humans will be heard soon."

"I believe it." The female astronaut nodded heavily.

The Pilot successfully completed the trial mission and returned to Earth safely, and the Human Space Security Alliance also released this news for the first time.

And announced in the announcement that the Pilot will officially set sail in three days.

Head to your first stop, Mars.

The trip will also follow the first human footprint on the moon and step on the soil of Mars again.

Soon after the news was released, it became a hot topic around the world.

In addition to the public's excitement, even Musk, who has always aimed to build a Martian community, expressed his excitement on his account.
