Chapter 67: Officially Set Sail
The Galactic Ship is a massive starship.
In comparison, the extremely cold cabin that was about to go out with Liang Tian was extremely small.
Liang Tian was already sitting in the inside of the extremely cold cabin.
The Earth Control Center of the Galaxy Neighbor Project began to check with Fang Yuan the various implementation preparations and data of the backup plan.
The acting captain had something to do, and finally stopped interjecting at every turn.
Liang Xinghuo circled the extremely frozen chamber many times.
She had been to the Galactic Ship several times, and this was the first time she had studied the Polar Freeze Chambers up close.
It's a swarthy cabin throughout.
The façade of the cryophile chamber replaced the solar panels of earlier spacecraft with a cutting-edge solar coating.
This coating, which is not painted with paint, is applied with solar particles.
These particles have a photoelectric conversion efficiency of more than 100 times that of traditional solar panels.
In addition, this special coating material has strong heat and abrasion resistance, and can resist various extreme environments in the universe.
When the polar freeze chamber was designed, it withstood a series of extreme tests such as volcanic eruptions, missile attacks, and starship explosions.
In addition to solar energy, the polar freeze chamber also has a helium triple drive device, which is used to ensure that in the event of solar failure, the polar freeze chamber can still resist the gravitational pull of the non-habitable planet at the established speed, and complete the space orbit change again and again.
Compared to the majestic Galactic Ship, the Cryophile is like an inconspicuous part.
It is such an inconspicuous part that is about to break through the sea of stars and explore the future of mankind.
"Grandpa, I kind of want to experience the extreme freeze cabin."
Liang Xinghuo stood by Liang Tian's side, and she knew that there was not much time to spend with her great-grandfather.
In order to avoid the acting captain at such a time, he has to be busy interjecting to find a sense of existence.
Liang Xinghuo's voice was much quieter than usual.
In this way, because of the proximity, the conversation between her and her great-grandfather is more like a whisper.
"There's a chance." Liang Tian patted the back of Liang Xinghuo's hand on the edge of the polar freeze cabin, "The thawing technology after the live extreme freeze has gradually matured, and I believe that in the near future, the problem of recovery after the extreme freeze can be solved." At that time, humanity may be able to choose the time in which it wants to live. ”
"Is that good?"
Liang Xinghuo understood the meaning of Liang Tian's words.
If the techniques of freezing and thawing are both mature, it means that human beings can choose a time to freeze themselves and another time to thaw themselves.
Cryonics technology is not new, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, there were terminally ill entrepreneurs who froze themselves, hoping to wait until medicine developed to the point where they could learn about this terminal disease, and then "live" again.
The freezing at that time, of course, was not the same concept as Liang Tian's upcoming extreme freezing.
It can't be done in a second or two.
But ethical issues have been discussed since the last century.
If a frozen person cannot be resuscitated, it is equivalent to dying when he is frozen.
If there is a recovery, let's say seventy or one hundred years later, at that time, the great-grandchildren of the frozen people may be older than the frozen people.
In this way, the ethics of human society may be chaotic.
Liang Xinghuo will ask [Is this good], also based on this consideration.
"I don't know if it's good or bad. The purpose of my choice of Extreme Freeze is to find the other side, and I hope that a higher civilization will awaken me. Then, it was up to me to contact the home planet and tell the earthlings that there is indeed such a shore in the vast universe, and that human beings are not alone. ”
"Grandpa, do you really believe that there will be such a side, right?"
"Of course." When the centenarian answered this question, there was still light in his eyes.
"Sounds so romantic." Liang Xinghuo was a little infected.
"Yes, the journey of astronauts is a sea of stars." Liang Tian responded with a smile.
"Well, because it's unknown, it's romantic." Liang Xinghuo agrees with this view.
"As for the ethical question of extreme freezing, I believe that it will take a long time to answer it, just like the ethical question of cloning."
"Well, we'll leave it to us to find the answer."
Liang Xinghuo snuggled up to Liang Tian's side and accompanied Liang Tian through the last days before the extreme freezing.
Before the countdown began an hour, Liang Tian turned on the full projection of the family contact module.
In the past, it was the family on Earth who accompanied Liang Tian, and Liang Xinghuo was holographically projected from Mars, but this time, Liang Xinghuo was replaced by his side.
Both Earth and Martian officials want this projection to be public.
The home projection of the Mars Cave is too many times, and it is open to the entire solar system.
One more time, it doesn't matter.
Compared with any previous family projection, this time, the most special thing is the addition of Liang Xinglan.
Wu Zizi and Liang Xinqu have always hidden Liang Xinglan.
Even if a conditioned reflex has been formed, it is natural to oppose the disclosure of the most special projection for a family.
Wu Zizi's opposition is because protecting Liang Xinglan's privacy has been engraved in her bones.
Liang Xinqu's opposition was because Wu Zizi was opposed.
But at this most special moment, the opposition of Liang Xinqu and Wu Zizi did not play a decisive role.
The protagonist of this family projection is Liang Tian.
Liang Tian handed over the decision to Liang Xinghuo and Liang Xinglan.
Liang Xinghuo handed over the decision to Liang Xinglan again.
His younger brother must be spoiled by himself.
"Sister, I want to make it public, but I'm not ready today, can I do it tomorrow? Tomorrow you will leave me a time for the whole solar system to appear on the [Mars Cave] channel. ”
"Grandpa Tai still has an hour to go to carry out the Galaxy Next Neighbor Project, and he can't wait until tomorrow."
"I know this, so don't make it public today, today's protagonist is grandpa, don't put the cart before the horse because of my appearance."
"It turns out that my brother is so caring, I haven't even thought about this."
It's right to think about it.
For so many years, Liang Xinghuo's family on Earth has deliberately hidden Liang Xinglan's affairs, and if it is exposed, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil.
Liang Xinghuo was accepted when he saw Liang Xinglan for the first time, and I believe that the people in the [Mars Cave] channel will be the same as her.
But this matter is not just as simple as whether everyone likes Liang Xinglan or not.
There's a lot more to be involved in that.
"It's not intimate, it's because it's not the peak of Xinghuo's appearance. Let me dress up well, and tomorrow will be the best for my sister in the solar system. ”
When Liang Xinglan spoke, he was full of vitality, and his whole mental state overflowed from Earth to Mars.
"The handsome crown solar system is the handsome crown solar system, why is it for me?"
"What sister doesn't want a handsome brother? Not to mention anything else, bringing it out to go shopping will have face, right, you can also make your girlfriends envious. ”
"It's really hard to say, my girlfriend doesn't like you."
"Sister, which one am I?"
"It's as tender as a freshly peeled mangosteen."
"Ah...... Sister, what is the description of this, mangosteen and tender can't be related, right? ”
"Really? My sister hasn't eaten it again, and it looks as tender as you anyway. ”
Liang Xinghuo can already joke with Liang Xinglan naturally.
can do this, but it doesn't have much to do with her, mainly because Liang Xinglan's personality and way of speaking are too infectious.
"Sister, I'm talking about envy, and I don't want Captain Mi to like it, if you don't believe it, ask Captain Mi to see if she is envious or not."
"Okay, I'll go back later, and my sister will help you ask."
"Thank you, sister." Liang Xinglan clenched his fists at Liang Xinghuo and performed a very ancient thank-you ceremony.
The family chatted happily until the ten-minute countdown.
At this time, the galaxy ship was launched from the Martian relay station and quickly flew to the predetermined position.
Liang Tian lay down in the extremely frozen cabin, and Liang Xinghuo helped check the last protective measures.
The hatch of the freezer chamber closed at the end of the countdown to three minutes.
After two seconds, the freezer chamber shows that the program has been executed.
The Polar Freeze Chambers were propelled to the launch area of the Galactic Ship.
5,4,3,2,1……
The Galaxy Next Neighbor Project officially set sail.
