By May 2019, a new department called the "Spacecraft Internal Security Administration" was quietly established.
On the first day of its establishment, an internal rectification document for factories and research institutions was issued.
First: Any items that can move freely in the spacecraft must be locked with hidden buckles on the deck. Some light tools that must be moved must be placed in a fixed storage box at any time after use.
Second: The internal walls of the factory need to be installed with flexible packaging.
Third: Assess the stability and danger of some vibration-sensitive equipment.
Fourth: All factories and institutions must strictly abide by the safety production regulations issued by the government and must not violate them arbitrarily.
…
In the following month, the "Spaceship Internal Security Administration" was almost in full swing, and began to carefully inspect the rectification status of major factories and institutions one after another.
Next, this trend of rectification moved to the community and even penetrated into every household.
The atmosphere inside the spacecraft became increasingly solemn, and some sensitive people had vaguely anticipated something.
By the last day of May, all factories, research institutes, and even most government personnel were on vacation. Everyone began to know that the behemoth beneath their feet was about to undergo its first trial voyage.
An uneasy atmosphere enveloped the entire society. Perhaps because they had lived there for a long time, people soon almost forgot that what was under their feet was not land, but a huge spaceship. Humanity was by no means truly peaceful. Soon Humanity is about to flee.
…
The next morning, the originally noisy residential area became extremely quiet, and the streets were also deserted.
"Dear residents, the spacecraft is about to undergo its first trial flight. Please bind safety devices and do not move around at will... This trial flight will start at 8:30 and last for five hours and end at 1:30 p.m. For detailed information, please inquire News Network." At eight o'clock in the morning, soft electronic sounds sounded over the residential area.
Cui Weichuan secretly took a deep breath when he heard the warning that the sea trial was about to begin.
The family of three had already fastened their safety devices. The daughter next to her, her nervous face turned white, asked abruptly, "Dad, we will be fine, right?"
Cui Weichuan quickly forced out a stiff smile and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't worry, you know that little spaceship, right?"
"Which boat did we come on?" the daughter replied with a somewhat fearful look on her face.
"Yes, you only rode on that boat once, but Dad has ridden on it several times, and there has never been an accident. It is very comfortable to sit on, and there is not even a bump. I don't feel anything. Suddenly, the earth is here. Our spaceship is more advanced than the smaller one, and it will definitely be fine. Just be patient.
In fact, for my father, this time is really a big deal. This kind of spacecraft will definitely fly more steadily, and there will probably not even be bumps! "
"This is for safety. Didn't you have to wear a seat belt when driving before?" My daughter said with a clear smile, looking much more relaxed.
After Cui Weichuan comforted the younger one, he began to care about the older one again.
"This safety device has no effect on your belly, right?" Cui Weichuan looked at his wife's big belly and asked worriedly. Although at that time, he was not very willing to let his wife use new technologies to get pregnant. After all, he still didn't know if the genetically modified child was his. If he was born with no similarity at all and was gossiped about, he was really upset. However, Seeing his wife's possessed look, he finally chose to agree.
Now his wife is nearly nine months pregnant and is about to enter the period of childbirth. Who knows, the trial voyage will be today, or it may be a month later.
"This is for pregnant women, everything will be fine!" The wife touched her belly nervously and said in relief.
Cui Weichuan looked at the bloated safety device that looked like a space suit and breathed a sigh of relief. It has to be said that the government attaches great importance to this group of pregnant women. After pregnancy, not only is there a free supply of meat every day, but also during the first few days of the trial flight. Today, the safety device has also been replaced with a pregnancy-specific one.
At this moment, the wife suddenly frowned slightly, covering her stomach with a look of pain on her face.
"What's wrong?" Cui Weichuan's heart tightened when he saw it, and he quickly asked: "Is she about to give birth?"
"No, the baby is kicking me again!" The wife calmed down, exhaled, and said coquettishly: "He is so strong that his stomach is almost broken by the kick. He will definitely be a naughty kid in the future."
Of course, they are very powerful. If these new humans were placed before the end of the world, each one would be at the superhuman level. If the quality of people today were not relatively strong, it would not be easy to give birth to them.
Time passed minute by minute, and with the repeated warning sounds from the speakers outside, it soon came to half past eight.
Everyone held their breath at this moment.
…
At this time, eight groups of huge engine nozzles with a diameter of more than 40 meters distributed on both sides of the tail of the spacecraft began to warm up, and raging high-temperature flames spurted out intermittently. After a few seconds, the spacecraft began to vibrate imperceptibly, and then Flying slowly at a snail's pace.
Within a few minutes, the flames transformed into streams of pulsed light, like streamers of light, embellishing the dark space with bizarre lights.
The speed of the spacecraft began to accelerate slowly, and the speed gradually increased.
A meteorite flying towards this side at high speed, before it hit the spacecraft, was instantly hit by a high-energy laser beam emitted from an unknown source, and turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the central control cabin of the spacecraft was packed.
Not only the crew of the spaceship, but also all the senior officials, including Luo Yuan, gathered together to pay close attention to this trial voyage.
"The spacecraft is continuing to accelerate... 1 kilometers per second!"
"1.1 kilometers per second!"
"1.2 kilometers per second!"
Because it was the first trial flight, everything was focused on stability, and the spacecraft accelerated very slowly.
On the five or six giant three-dimensional screens on the left side of the main console, countless data and calculation formulas are changing rapidly, and most of them disappear in a flash. For most ordinary people, just taking a glance at these data, It can make people dizzy.
Driving a spacecraft that moves at high speed is an extremely complicated matter.
Not only are meteorites encountered in space at any time, but the gravity of nearby planets and stars will also affect the route of the spacecraft.
This involves a lot of calculations. The spacecraft needs to calculate the trajectory of each meteorite in advance and constantly correct the route of the spacecraft. Without a powerful main control brain, it is responsible for a lot of calculations. During space navigation, it can only touch Luck, good luck, safe and sound, bad luck, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
These data are dull and boring. Except for the mathematicians who took the wisdom potion and silently checked it in their hearts, few noticed it.
Most of the attention of senior management is on the central virtual reality scene.
The pictures of virtual reality look much brighter than the real outside world. You can even see meteorites passing by from a distance, but meteorites are not common. Most of the time, you can only look at those in the distance that are brighter than those on the earth. of starlight.
During the flight, all operations are basically controlled by the intelligent brain. The crew does not need to perform additional operations. Unless new instructions need to be issued, they basically only play a supporting role. After all, compared with humans, intelligence is more sensitive to accidents. The brain reacts faster. It has no reflex arcs and does not require external buttons. It is controlled indirectly. As long as an instruction is given, the various systems of the spacecraft can respond immediately. Everything is only related to its logical computing ability. As for its logical computing ability, it Undoubtedly countless times that of humans.
Even Luo Yuan is far from comparable. This is a natural gap. No matter how intelligent a creature is, it cannot compare with the computing power of a super quantum computer with 100,000 qubits. Perhaps only a complete four-dimensional brain can. Only ability can compare with it.
…
As time went by, the speed of the spacecraft gradually approached one hundred kilometers per second, and a brown planet appeared in sight. This was Venus, one of the eight planets, and it was also the direction of this flight.
The reason why we flew towards Venus instead of Mars is because there is a meteorite belt between the Earth and Mars, and the environment is complicated. As this is the first trial voyage, safety is undoubtedly the first priority.
It was still far away at this time, and this planet, which was about the same size as the Earth, was like a brown marble, hanging quietly in the sky.
"Magnify Venus!" Luo Yuan said after looking at it for a while.
"Yes, Captain!" Zhinao immediately responded to Luo Yuan's order.
The virtual reality scene on the central screen was immediately split into two halves. The orange planet began to zoom in quickly, and soon occupied half of the screen. However, it continued to zoom in. The three-dimensional screen had a certain sense of immersion, plus The high-definition picture makes people feel like their body is falling towards the planet.
In just a few seconds, the camera has already penetrated the atmosphere. It is not as quiet and peaceful as it looked from a distance. The turbulent atmosphere is flowing at high speed, setting off terrifying storms. Compared with the typhoons here, the typhoons on the earth can only be regarded as light breezes. If it rains, perhaps those few days can only be compared to those after antimatter bombs destroy humanity.
It has to be said that the detection system on this spacecraft is terrible. Its picture is still zooming in. After a while, it has passed through the rich atmosphere and entered the ground.
This is a hell that exudes the aura of destruction. There are volcanoes and magma everywhere as far as the eye can see. At the same time, the rich acidic gas has also corroded the mountain peaks here into thousands of holes and jagged rocks.
It was the first time for most of the people here to face the sight of an alien planet, and they couldn't help but be shocked by what they saw.
"According to detection, this is a rocky planet, radius: 6051.8 kilometers, gravity: 0.9g... The surface temperature is about more than 400 degrees, the pressure is 90 times that of the earth, 97% of the air is carbon dioxide, and Contains a large amount of water and has low transformation value. It is recommended to be used as a mining planet.”
Regarding Zhinao's suggestion, Luo Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. They would soon leave the earth. Perhaps for most people here, it would be difficult to come back before their lifetime.
