Chapter 428: To Mars
"Hello Councilor Xu, I am Yan Ruizhong, the current commander of the Pilot, and we will be responsible for your travel safety this time."
In the core control cabin of the Pilot spacecraft, Yan Ruizhong, who was wearing a blue cabin suit, walked over, first saluted Xu Yun in front of him, and then reported the trip very respectfully.
Xu Yun was not very unfamiliar with the person in front of him.
After reaching out and shaking the other party, he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then I'll trouble you this time." ”
Strictly speaking, Yan Ruizhong should have been Lei Ming's subordinate before, and he was able to serve as the commander of the first nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft pilot of human civilization, and he also had Xu Yun's consent, how could Yan Ruizhong not pay attention to it in this case.
After all, the pressure is there.
As the chief scientist of the Alliance for Human Space Security, the newly appointed core councillor saved the existence of an entire civilization.
Now we are going to Mars and Moon to inspect the project on the pilot spacecraft.
If there is any mistake in the process, this responsibility is not something he can bear.
Therefore, even if the Pilot is very trusting, it must be in good spirits to avoid any omissions.
He was personally responsible for conducting a full inspection of the spacecraft before this mission alone.
Eliminate all hidden dangers.
In the face of Xu Yun, he not only respects his identity, but also respects Xu Yun from the bottom of his heart for what he has done for human civilization.
It's no exaggeration.
If he encounters a danger that he can't deal with, he will definitely sacrifice himself to protect Xu Yun's safety.
There will be no hesitation.
When his thoughts were running rapidly, he hurriedly came back to his senses when he heard Xu Yun's response and said: "You are polite Councilor Xu, it is our honor to escort you to Mars, the spacecraft has set sail and left the atmosphere, and it will accelerate later, and please come to your seat first." Finally, I didn't forget to remind me.
Listening to Yan Ruizhong's words, Xu Yun immediately sat down towards the seat next to him.
And complete all fixation.
The Pilot was designed and built by him, so he knew all kinds of situations and knew when to do something.
It is important to know that the Pilot's maximum speed can reach 10 percent of the speed of light, and if the crew of the ship does not operate according to the specifications, it will lead to casualties on the ship.
It even damaged the interior of the ship.
And if the speed of future warships can be close to the speed of light or reach the speed of light, then when accelerating to maintain the speed of light, the crew needs to lie down in a special sleep chamber to ensure the safety of the body.
The first rule that must be followed when performing tasks on a ship as a crew member is to strictly follow the rules and regulations of the ship.
Absolutely follow the command of the ship commander.
This is also to ensure the safety of all human lives.
After all, anything can happen in space or on an alien planet.
At that time, the commander will need to deal with it.
In such an environment, even one crew member who does not follow orders can have serious consequences for everyone.
Therefore, even Xu Yun is completely at the mercy of Yan Ruizhong's arrangement on the Pilot.
Didn't put up their own shelves in the slightest.
Speaking of which, when he announced that he was going to Mars and the moon to inspect the project, in addition to Zhou Mingwei, many scientists showed the idea of wanting to follow.
Obviously, they all want to see for themselves the masterpieces they have helped to complete.
He can naturally understand everyone's thoughts, after all, who doesn't have the dream of going to the moon and Mars.
However, considering that there are many uncertainties in going to an alien planet as a scientist for the first time, and that the earth also needs human docking work, he finally carried out the inspection work by himself.
Of course, everyone's wishes will definitely come true.
By the time the inspection is over, it will be considered to have relevant experience.
It just so happened that the Blue Star battleship would also be almost in service.
The Pilot will then be able to sit back and be responsible for the inspection of the team of scientists.
You can even sell ship summons to the outside world, giving others a chance to enjoy the view of the Moon and Mars.
That's definitely better than anywhere else on earth.
It was Zhou Mingwei and others who were attracted by these plans and agreed to Xu Yun's itinerary.
But despite this, they still spontaneously took turns to command the general control center, so that they could control the situation of the pilot at any time, and in case of a special situation, they could also find a way to rescue.
And it turned out that the Pilot was indeed superior in performance.
It didn't take long to sail at full speed to reach the skies over Mars.
At the same time, the ship began to slow down.
"The destination has been reached, and this navigation ends."
"Slowing down."
……
As the intelligent voice broadcast sound in the control cabin came to his ears, Xu Yun manually opened the fixtures on the seat and moved his body slightly.
The ship's posture is now quite stable, and the crew can move in the cabin.
Almost as soon as Xu Yun stood up, he saw that Yan Ruizhong had already walked over, and said with respect on his face: "We have reached the sky over Mars, and the spacecraft is currently landing, and you can overlook the Martian City under construction." ”
Yan Ruizhong is obviously not the first time to go on a mission to Mars.
Even this time, the cabin was loaded with the equipment and supplies that Mars City needed.
So I have a good understanding of the situation.
Although Xu Yun designed Mars City, the Mars community base, he has not seen it from such a distance.
So after hearing Yan Ruizhong's words, he immediately became interested.
Walk to the porthole and look down.
At this moment, the pilot is only a few hundred meters away from the ground of Mars, and as far as the eye can see, a dome composed of countless pieces of special transparent materials appears in the field of vision, although it appears lonely on Mars, it gives people a very strong sense of visual impact.
If you want to describe it in two words.
Then there are only miracles.
A great miracle of human civilization.
Although there are only the foundations of each building under the dome, it is even more shocking against the backdrop of the busy figures of those volunteers.
Especially when I think that a Martian city with a population of 100,000 people will stand here in many years, it makes people look forward to it even more and can't wait to see that picture.
"It's so beautiful, it's hard to imagine that we humans could one day build such a miracle." Yan Ruizhong, who followed Xu Yun's gaze and looked at the past, couldn't help but sigh at this time.
Although it is not the first time I have seen it, I can't help but appreciate it carefully every time.
Coupled with the frequency of his missions to Mars, it can be said that he has witnessed the whole process of Mars City from a barren land to the completion of the dome.
"It's really beautiful."
Xu Yun's thoughts were pulled back by Yan Ruizhong, and he raised his gaze and replied.
Then he said, "It's time for us to go in." ”
"The extravehicular spacesuit is ready, I'll take you there." Yan Ruizhong hurriedly said.
The next second, he walked to the front and led the way.
With the size of the Pilot, there is definitely no way to land directly in Martian City, which will affect the integrity of the dome.
Resulting in damage to the internal life support system.
So they need to rely on extravehicular spacesuits to enter on foot.
As for the supplies inside the spacecraft, they will be carried by the rover and space robots.
Don't worry about it.
Since Yan Ruizhong served as the escort of Xu Yun's trip, he would definitely not stay on the spaceship and let Xu Yun go alone, so he naturally had to accompany him throughout the whole process to ensure safety.
What's more, he had already learned the entire itinerary from Xu Yun.
Knowing that you won't be staying long on the Mars City project.
Next, they will depart directly from Mars and go to the Lunar Battleship Manufacturing Base.
That's it.
Soon wait for the Pilot to stop and open the hatch.
Xu Yun and Yan Ruizhong, who had already put on extravehicular spacesuits, and a team of escorts, stepped from the spacecraft and stepped on the surface of Mars.
Xu Yun is naturally no stranger to Mars.
But when he stepped on the surface of Mars himself, that special feeling made him especially excited.
Although he did not go through systematic learning and training like astronauts, he also knew the requirements of walking on Mars, and his body was constantly exercising and he had been injected with random rewards, so he quickly adapted to the environment here.
Before you know it, the pace is much faster.
Of course, this scared Yan Ruizhong and the other guards beside him.
Hurriedly speed up yourself.
For fear that Xu Yun would bump on the surface of Mars.
Fortunately, the location where the spacecraft is parked is not far from Mars City.
It didn't take long for the group to enter the interior of Martian City through the entrance of the dome.
Under the effect of the life support system, the environment inside the dome and the outside world of Mars are literally two worlds.
So Xu Yun didn't need to be reminded by others, so he turned on the mask.
After feeling the environment inside the dome, my heart was completely relaxed.
Knowing the specific application performance of the life support system is better than theoretical.
It is enough to ensure the life of people in the city.
Xu Yun personally went to Mars to inspect the project, and naturally informed the personnel on the Mars City project in advance, which made Xu Yun just open the mask, and saw a group of people quickly greet him.
"Councilor Xu."
"Welcome to Mars City."
After the young man led by him hurriedly said hello, he then took the initiative to help Xu Yun disassemble the extravehicular spacesuit on his body.
At the same time, he added: "At present, the life support system in Mars City is working normally, and you only need to wear ordinary cabin suits in the dome. ”
In the following time, after Xu Yun, Yan Ruizhong and others took off their extravehicular spacesuits, they went to various places to conduct project inspections in accordance with the process under the leadership of the person in charge.
After all, time on Mars is limited, and Xu Yun doesn't want to waste time.
During this period, some volunteers recognized Xu Yun, and their emotions were also very fanatical, and they took the initiative to come over to talk and express their feelings.
In this regard, Xu Yun did not refuse.
When we talk, don't forget to care about their situation.
Leaving the Earth home to come to Mars so far away, and making sacrifices for the construction of Mars City, it would be absolutely false to say that you have no feelings of missing your family.
Fortunately, the volunteers on Mars are in batches, and after staying for a while, they can return to Earth to rest.
So instead of complaining, he was very excited about the construction of Mars City.
I hope to see this miracle completed in their own hands as soon as possible.
The whole inspection process did not last too long, as for the results of most of the results can be carried out according to the requirements, there are still two problems, for which Xu Yun gave optimization suggestions on the spot.
With the successful completion of the Mars City project, the next trip to the moon will be easier.
After Xu Yun, Yan Ruizhong and the others returned to the pilot, Yan Ruizhong could be regarded as relieved that what he was worried about did not happen.
Mars, after all, is far away from Earth.
In addition, the Pilot is the only one that can sail at 10 percent of the speed of light, so it is difficult to rescue in the event of an accident.
But the moon is different.
Not to mention that human development of the moon has been relatively mature, just the distance from the earth, even if you do not use a nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft, you can successfully complete the rescue under normal circumstances, and basically no longer have to worry about Xu Yun's safety.
Unlike the project on the Martian City side, the Moon Battleship Manufacturing Base has now been put into use.
As soon as Xu Yun arrived at the control center of the base, he saw that various space robots were busy on the production line outside.
As for the person in charge of the base, he reported to Xu Yun as soon as possible.
"Councilor Xu."
"At present, our base is building the Blue Star warship, designed by Zhang Feng and a number of academicians and scientists around the world, and the warship uses a nuclear fusion power engine and is equipped with a controllable self-circulation ecosystem."
"In terms of weapons, it is mainly laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons."
"In addition, the theoretical maximum speed of the warship is 15 percent of the speed of light, and the crew needs to use deep-sea acceleration fluid when sailing at full speed."
Xu Yun listened to the report of the person in charge in front of him and nodded again and again.
The design concept of the Blue Star is basically the continuation of the Pilot, but it has been upgraded in some functions.
For example, the weapons carried by battleships.
Of course, the most worthwhile thing to do is to far exceed the speed of the Pilot.
When a battleship reaches 15 percent of the speed of light, it will cause great damage to the crew's body at full speed.
Therefore, in this case, a special oxygenated liquid that can be inhaled by the crew to fill the body with lung organs has been developed, which can also play a positive role in the development of future warships.
I remember that when Zhang Feng and others faced this problem, he decisively participated in the research and helped.
Coupled with the super-powerful calculations of artificial intelligence and quantum computers, it is finally possible to synthesize a perfect deep-sea accelerator.
"You've done a good job, and it looks like the Blue Star will be officially commissioned this year." Xu Yun did not hesitate to praise the person in charge in front of him, after all, the Blue Star can be put into service as soon as possible, and the progress of the Mars City project can be much faster.
"Yes, Councilor Xu."
"According to our estimates, it can be completed in December."
"In addition, the base is also building a spacecraft that can theoretically reach a quarter of the speed of light, and will carry out missions to Proxima Centauri."
Xu Yun's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, he didn't expect the base to build two warships at the same time.
He proposed to go to Proxima Centauri, and the alliance deliberately designed a smaller spacecraft to pursue faster speed, and at a quarter of the speed of light, it would ideally return to the solar system from Proxima Centauri in thirty years.
Originally, this exploration spacecraft should have been manufactured later, but I didn't expect that it has now entered the production stage.
This means that it won't be long before the ship will be able to depart for Proxima Centauri and bring back the detection information at the age of about 70, which is definitely an exciting and exciting mission. (End of chapter)
