Chapter 453: The spaceship lands on Earth

Views:

Not long after the special operations team left Hope City, Luo Yuan also started warp flight to leave Hope City after processing several documents.

Today, the external environment of the earth is harsh and extreme cold has enveloped the earth. The time for humans to leave the underground and return to the surface is far away. Relying on underground material reserves and remaining industrial systems cannot save the nearly five to six million people in Hope City and the surrounding areas. , let alone the reconstruction and development of civilization!

Even just reuniting the surviving populations of the three nearby cities to establish a unified and efficient administrative system is difficult to achieve.

Fortunately, although the arrival of aliens has brought mankind to the brink of extinction, they have left behind an entire spaceship intact.

Moreover, this is a huge spaceship. Because the technology of Boxing civilization is highly automated, the utilization rate of the space inside the spacecraft is very poor. It can be said to be a luxury, especially in the residential level. Perhaps it is because of the need to survive in a narrow space for a long time. It has a psychologically depressing effect. Its vertical height is as high as more than two hundred meters, occupying almost two-sevenths of the entire height of the spacecraft, and its diameter is an astonishing 1.5 kilometers long.

Among them, the ecological park in the center occupies the vast majority. In terms of the technology of the Bo Xing people, this ecological system is no longer necessary for them. The air circulation system on the spacecraft can automatically adjust the air finely. , keeping the air fresh and comfortable all the time.

The reason why it exists is just to make long space travel less monotonous, and also to avoid space syndrome.

However, for humans who are having difficulty surviving at this time, it is undoubtedly too luxurious to consider these things.

If the botanical garden and some useless cabins are removed, the usable area of the entire spacecraft living area can reach more than 1.7 million square meters. Multiplied by the height of 200 meters, the usable space reaches 350 million cubic meters.

Based on the standard of two people living in every 3*3*3 space, this residential area alone can accommodate a population of 26 million.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation.

In actual space utilization, it is naturally impossible to be so high, but even if it is a quarter, there are nearly 7 million people, enough to accommodate the entire remaining population of the earth today.

Compared with Hope City, Liming City, Tuanjie City and Shengli City, these three cities are only small cities. Before the disaster, each city basically only had a population of more than one million. Among them, Shengli City only had a population of nine because it was close to the wilderness area. More than 100,000.

After the disaster, the total number is now probably less than 3 million. Adding the remaining population of Hope City, the total number is between 5.4 million and less than 6 million.

However, before humans can migrate in, the living area of the spacecraft must be renovated on a large scale. Some workers must be moved in first to build high-rise buildings with ultra-high floor area ratios on the living floor of the spacecraft.

Less than ten minutes later, his warp flight speed reached its peak.

The last war with the Bosians gave him a small breakthrough in his will. Although he did not reach 20 points immediately, it also made his warp flight speed increase by leaps and bounds. From the original 150 kilometers per second, it reached 20 points in one fell swoop. Thousand kilometers per second (previous article has been modified)

The spacecraft is 600,000 kilometers away from the earth. However, at this terrifying high speed, it is only ten minutes away. Even if the long startup time is included, it is only seventeen minutes.

He saw the spacecraft rapidly enlarging in his eyes, and after a minute he began to slowly reduce its speed. Unfortunately, the space curvature bubble and his body went directly into the spacecraft.

"Welcome, Captain."

As soon as he entered the spacecraft cabin and unlocked the curvature bubble, Zhinao's voice sounded softly.

Luo Yuan did not have any surprises. With the detection capabilities of this spacecraft, it was completely impossible to enter the interior without anyone noticing. He walked quickly towards the control room and asked: "Recently?" How about it?"

"Everything is in good condition. It's just that we can't contact the production area, which makes production impossible. Captain, please arrange engineers to rush for maintenance!" Zhinao said softly.

"I know!" Luo Yuan said noncommittally.

This is a contradiction. Once repaired, the core program of the intelligent brain is to automatically contact the production area to produce the quantum communication device, and then repair the communication device to maintain the link with the Bo star. If the repair is not performed, the production area will not be able to work. The automated factory on the spacecraft Be idle.

But this is only temporary. When humans gradually migrate in and gradually become familiar with and understand the operating modes of these automated factories, they can still produce normally even if they are separated from the automated control of the intelligent brain, but the efficiency will be reduced.

Zhinao only reminded me once as a routine, and then stopped reminding me.

"Can this spaceship go to Earth?" Luo Yuan asked.

"Unfortunately, no. The total mass of the current spacecraft is 1.57 billion tons. It can only withstand an acceleration of 5.3 meters/second^2, and the gravity of the earth's surface is as high as 9.8 meters/second^2. Therefore, flying to the earth will cause the spacecraft to undergo slight deformation. , there will be unpredictable consequences.”

"So heavy?" Zhinao's answer made Luo Yuan frown slightly. This mass was completely beyond his imagination. The mass of 1.57 billion tons was equivalent to the 15,000 100,000-ton aircraft carriers before the end of the world.

“The weight of the spacecraft comes from three parts, the weight of the spacecraft, the materials collected by the spacecraft, and the spare parts in inventory.

The entire spacecraft has a dead weight of 110 million tons, and the total mass of spare parts inventory is 400 million tons. Most of the remaining weight comes from various collected materials, including pure water: 530 million tons, pure iron 180 million tons, and pure water. 120 million tons of copper…”

The variety of materials collected by the spacecraft is astonishing, covering almost all elements that can be found in the entire table of elements. The most abundant of them is water, which accounts for one-third of the total mass of the entire spacecraft. Unlike humans who think that water is only the source of life, in a spaceship, in addition to supplying life needs, it is also a fuel for nuclear fusion and an important element in the synthesis of various organic matter and chemical raw materials. During the long interstellar flight, it The consumption is quite alarming.

"What about the small spaceship on the top floor?" Luo Yuan continued to ask, and as he spoke, he had already walked to the control room.

"If you are talking about the emergency escape spacecraft, it can fly to the earth!" Zhinao replied.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then how does it operate?"

"Its control system is my subsystem. As long as you grant permission, it can intelligently control flight?"

"That's good. By the way, can you give me some comparison materials between Bo Xing language and Chinese?" Before leaving, Luo Yuan thought of something and said again.

After a while, Luo Yuan came to the spaceship on the top floor with a stack of thick paper documents. After verifying the permissions, the spacecraft door opened automatically.

"Your Excellency, Captain, welcome to your arrival. I am the control system number 002 of the emergency escape spacecraft. I am at your service at any time."

Luo Yuan walked into the control room. The layout of the control room here was completely the same as that of the mother ship. He glanced at it and said, "I want to go to Earth."

"Please enter the coordinates?"

On the three-dimensional screen, the image of the entire earth flashed immediately, as well as densely packed coordinate groups.

After this period of familiarity, he already has a certain understanding of this three-dimensional image, which can capture the movements of his hands in real time and perform a series of operations on the image. The specific operation method is similar to human touch screen technology, but it is undoubtedly countless times more advanced.

He gently pulled the image, and the influence of the earth immediately amplified rapidly. A huge solid sphere seemed to appear in the control cabin. It looked lifelike and detailed. If you didn't look closely, it would be just like the real thing.

Moreover, this image is still the current real-time state of the earth. The periphery of the earth is covered with a layer of white-gray light haze, and the situation of the earth cannot be seen at all.

"Remove the polluted atmosphere!" Luo Yuan frowned slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth suddenly revealed its original appearance. Luo Yuan nodded vaguely at a certain location: "Just go there?"

"The coordinates have been entered, apply to open the dome..."

"application passed… "

"Anti-gravity engine starts..."

"Virtual location image impact starts..."

"The spaceship is about to break away from the mother ship, please be prepared."

As the dome above the head opened like petals, the small spacecraft began to rise slowly and separated from the mother ship. In just one minute, the main engine port suddenly ejected brilliant and dazzling streams of light, and the entire spacecraft suddenly slowly moved towards the earth. Fly away.

It was getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, the mother ship was left behind, getting smaller and smaller.

Luo Yuan sat on the floating chair and curiously looked at the images of the virtual exterior on the three-dimensional screen. However, after looking at it for a while, he lost interest. He picked up the comparison information between Bo Xingyu and Chinese characters in his hand and read it carefully.

This kind of paper from the Bosnians is harder and tougher than the paper on Earth. Due to the popularity of personal bio-terminals, in fact, the Bosnian people rarely use paper, and it is generally only used for precious historical archives and backup data.

It has an extremely long shelf life and is waterproof, fireproof and anti-corrosion. Even if it is thrown into nature, it will not rot for hundreds of years. Precisely because it is difficult to corrode naturally, the use of this kind of paper has strict restrictions. Every time To obtain it, the purpose and destination must be clearly registered. Of course, this regulation does not apply to Luo Yuan.

He sat in the captain's seat and watched for just a few minutes before the small spacecraft began to enter the earth's atmosphere.
