Chapter 616: Goodbye mother star

Ren Xiao's face was flushed red, and the Explorer spacecraft represented the highest acceleration among human aircraft.

In the first few minutes, with the physical strength of his sixth-level peak evolutionary, he was pressed on the seat and could not move.

Speed ​​and strength can best stimulate a man's adrenaline.

Although I am a little accustomed to acceleration now, I still feel very exciting.

The spacecraft he was in was now under the unified control of the fleet's flagship.

Observe the environment outside the take-off ship through the real-time image synthesized by the external camera.

Surrounded by eternal darkness, the other warships in the fleet can't be seen at all. Although they belong to the same team, they are at least 100 kilometers apart from each other.

The blue planet behind him was drifting away, and at this time it was only slightly larger than standing on Saturn star and looking at the moon in the distance.

When I didn't leave, I was thinking about exploring unknown areas, but now I am leaving with an insoluble feeling.

The mother star is the cradle of civilization and the hotbed of life.

Leaving her home planet, she was quickly attacked by the cold and lonely environment, and she felt a sense of danger.

The dark universe is like a giant beast, ready to swallow Little Red Riding Hood who dared to walk out of the house at any time.

Ren Xiao sighed for a moment and forced himself to break away from the negative emotions.

Looking at it again, the star light in front of it emits a faint blue color. This is a common phenomenon in the universe. When the object and the light source are closer, the blue shift will occur.

Turning his head again, the starlight at the tail of the spacecraft glowed a faint red, which meant that it was being farther away from the light source behind him, causing a red shift.

The ultra-high speed of tens of kilometers per second, placed in the universe, is no different from static, except for the vibration caused by the acceleration of the engine, there is no feeling at all.

Only by relying on blue shift and red shift can you know that you are indeed moving at a high speed.

The fleet will broadcast the current speed situation every once in a while.

Two hours later-

"At the current speed, 150 kilometers per hour, turn off the engine and enter the inertial cruise state."

Ren Xiao exhaled and quickly checked the fuel situation. The panel showed that the spacecraft's fuel reserve remained 86%.

"Fuck! One acceleration, so much was used?" Ren Xiao was shocked, he seriously suspected that his fuel had been stolen by the flagship.

You must know that a powerful nuclear fusion reactor can provide a huge amount of energy. If the fuel reserve carried by a spacecraft is converted into electrical energy, it is enough for a large city to consume for decades.

But for the acceleration of interstellar navigation, it consumes so much at a time! If there is a war again, the energy will be even more tense if the weapon is eliminated.

Of course, such a huge energy consumption, in exchange for the highest speed in human history, 150 kilometers per second, 540,000 kilometers per hour!

At this time, the orbit of Mars is 110 million kilometers from Saturn star, not the farthest, nor the nearest.

If the Mars rover before the end of the world is allowed to fly this distance, it will take at least half a year, but now, the Explorer fleet can arrive in only 8 days.

This is the huge change brought about by technological progress.

After accepting this reality with difficulty, Ren Xiao gradually calmed down. This is just the beginning. How much energy is consumed by acceleration, and how much energy will be consumed when decelerating after arriving at the destination.

The energy used for acceleration and deceleration in a single journey requires 28%. In this way, with full fuel, only 3 accelerations and decelerations can be completed. This is why the spacecraft accelerates to 150 kilometers per second The reason for stopping.

It's not that it can't fly faster, but that the fuel consumption is too large. If it is not enough to slow down, then the fleet will rush out of the solar system and will never be able to return to Saturn.

Ren Xiao kept muttering, how could he still be squandering with so little fuel?

As everyone knows, the Mars rover before the end of the world is not only small in size, but also carries only one-way energy, and it is impossible to return.

It can be said that every cent is calculated and used, and there is no wealth at all.

As it is now, the fuel reserve can be more than one round trip.

Looking back at Saturn star at this time, it is only the size of a fist, and it will soon become a point of light among the stars.

If you don’t get out of the home planet, you will never be able to feel the vastness of the universe, and you will never realize that the entire civilization is very small.

For humans, this is an unprecedented feat, but from the perspective of the star system, this behavior of humans is equivalent to walking out of the house, crossing the courtyard, and onto the street.

From the perspective of the cantilever of Orion, this human behavior is not even the distance from the living room to the bathroom.

But at this time, the communication between the fleet and Saturn had already begun to delay.

The photon communication system newly researched by the Last Sun Empire can travel at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, which is already the highest conventional speed in the universe.

However, Mars is 110 million kilometers away from Saturn at this time. After reaching Mars, there will be a delay of more than 6 minutes in communication with Saturn.

......

The journey of the Explorer fleet will take another 8 days. Li Yunpeng looked back when the fleet entered the cruise phase.

"We have taken the first step, and the follow-up work must keep up. When the second batch of cargo spacecraft will depart, the Academy of Sciences will control itself."

"Yes!"

After the explanation, Li Yunpeng walked out of the command hall with irrelevant personnel. The next task of the Imperial Academy of Sciences was very arduous.

There are not only the newly opened Mars exploration mission, but also a series of new technology mass production plans that Li Yunpeng explained before.

It is worth mentioning that the microbial production line used to degrade nuclear radiation has basically been laid.

The Moyang Empire will use the suspended platform to continuously throw the program to ‘sterilize’ the parent star.

The specific principle is similar to the offshore drilling platform before the end of the world, except that the suspension platform is larger. After the nuclear fusion engine is installed, it will hover over the end of the sun empire for a long time, continuously spraying microbial agents, and relying on the atmospheric circulation system. Delivered to all parts of the world to eliminate nuclear radiation.

Eliminating nuclear radiation is of urgency. Li Yunpeng did not intend to take this opportunity to pick up a handful of wool from other forces. The reason is that the strength of the Doyang Empire is now strong, and it doesn't take advantage of that point, and there is no need to waste time.

Prior to this, Li Yunpeng did a lot of work, and now the Moyang Empire has an unprecedentedly vast territory, fully controlling all the land and sea in the Eastern Hemisphere.

The next homeland defense plan also needs to be worked out as soon as possible.

So Li Yunpeng from the Imperial Academy of Sciences led people straight to the administrative center.

Halfway through, I saw Li Ying hurriedly approaching.

"Report to the lord of the country. Recently, the MIB has caught many spies!"

Li Yunpeng was taken aback. No one knew the strength of the military intelligence bureau. Who would dare to send a spy to Moyang City so blindly?
