On July 3, 2020, this behemoth that had been staying in the solar system suddenly ejected a pulse stream, which instantly crossed a length of tens of kilometers, making the dark space suddenly light up.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy body of the spacecraft began to move slowly. Ten minutes later, it had easily broken away from the sun's gravity, sailed away from the ecliptic plane, and gradually flew towards the outside of the solar system.
…
One early morning on Earth.
In a world of ice and snow, a metal plate that was frozen on the ground suddenly vibrated slightly and made a clanging sound. Not long after, it was knocked open by a huge force. A figure cautiously got out of the hole and was blown away by the cold wind outside. Blow, he shivered all over.
Five years have passed since the destruction of the aliens. The sky is much brighter than before, and the temperature has warmed up significantly, but it is still 34 degrees below zero.
He rubbed his hands and sneaked out of the cave. This man was wrapped in thick animal skins and had a foul smell. His face was covered with thick dirt and grease, making it difficult to see his true face. It felt like I hadn't taken a shower in several years.
However, a pair of dark, unusual eyes showed that he was no ordinary person.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky shrouded in lead clouds. His eyes, which were already extremely dark, suddenly became even darker. This was a kind of darkness that humans could not describe in words, as if even light could not escape the eyes.
He stared at it for a while, then suddenly his face was stunned, as if he didn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes and stared for a few more minutes. His expression became more and more excited, and his body began to tremble slightly.
He rolled and crawled towards the cave.
"Gone, finally gone!" He shouted as he ran, his voice full of excitement and crying, like a madman.
"What, let's go, did you read that correctly?"
"Really gone?"
"Okay, okay, we are finally safe!"
Unexpectedly, there were not many people in the cave inside. The small cave was packed with people. When this person disappeared, the atmosphere suddenly boiled.
"Everyone, calm down, Xiaohu, take a drink of water first and speak slowly!" A middle-aged man with a strong figure came out of the crowd and patted him on the shoulder: "What did you see?"
He was tall and muscular, with a thick chest and a strong sense of strength. Compared with the rest of the people who were dirty, he looked quite clean and spotless. As he spoke, the whole cave became quiet.
His powerful strength makes him the natural boss of this homeless camp, and no one dares to challenge his authority.
If Luo Yuan were here, he would recognize that this is Ling Zhongan, the former deputy minister of Lijian Headquarters.
It sounds like he was lucky. When the Bosians launched their plan to destroy humanity, he lived in the Sharp Sword headquarters in the suburbs. As a result, when the anti-matter bomb exploded, he was directly affected by the destructive force, and his body was instantly shattered.
Fortunately, he has a special ability to evolve. His body can be broken down into particles in a short period of time. To a certain extent, he is already close to immortality. The moment he is shattered, his body begins to reorganize at the same time. In addition, it is far away from the center of the explosion, so he picked it up. He survived, but he was also seriously injured. He was in a coma for more than a year before waking up from the ice.
Unfortunately, the human army had already left the earth by that time, and he could no longer find traces of human activities. After wandering around the ice sheet for half a year, he accidentally discovered the footprints left by humans and found this homeless camp.
The man known as Xiaohu took a sip of water and calmed down: "Boss, that alien spacecraft is gone. It's really gone."
The originally quiet crowd became excited again, and many people were crying with joy. In the past few years, they have been hiding in Tibet. Every time they carry out activities, they will choose the coldest night, for fear of being discovered by aliens and being purged again. For this reason, they have frozen to death. Few people.
"Don't be careless. Maybe it is hidden behind a certain planet. We have been waiting for five years. We don't care if we wait another year and a half. Now the weather has gotten warmer and the food has become more and more abundant. As long as we are not attacked by aliens, People have discovered that cutting off the roots is enough for us to survive.”
…
The solar system is extremely vast, bounded by the Kuiper meteorite belt, which is a circular space with a diameter of one light-year. In this area, affected by the gravity of the sun, materials and gases are relatively dense, making it a high-risk area for interstellar navigation.
But even if it has been maintained at a low speed and safe state, the spacecraft is still not so stable when flying. During this period, the spacecraft will have a slight vibration almost every few hours.
A large amount of fine dust in space frequently bombarded the spacecraft, causing the spacecraft to emit a hazy glow while flying.
In the beginning, every shock would cause people to feel anxious, but as they experienced it more and over time, they gradually got used to it.
Fortunately, the farther away from the sun, the lower the frequency of oscillations. After three years, it only happened once in a while, and after leaving the solar system, this situation never happened again.
Time flies, and now the spacecraft has been flying in space for nearly ten years.
Today's virtual world is no longer as small as the previous one. In the past ten years, the latest generation of quantum computer sets has replaced the original computer sets. The computing power has been increased by tens of thousands of times, making the world more vast. It also becomes more real.
This space island has become a large island covering an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers.
Not only are the islands densely covered with factories, but there are also vast factory areas in space.
At this time, in a giant factory, the construction project of a new spacecraft has been officially started.
The lower and upper super-giant gantry stands tall on both sides. With the assistance of a large number of surrounding construction machinery, the giant arc armor weighing billions of tons on both sides of the two gantry is slowly closing.
Luo Yuan and a group of senior officials rode in a small aircraft and watched the armor gradually close up in the distance. Just by watching from a distance, he could feel the shock from the bottom of his heart.
The length of these two gantry alone exceeds 10,000 meters, the height is also 5,000 meters, and the total mass is 1.5 billion tons. If placed on the earth, such a super machine would be completely impossible even with the metal craftsmanship of the Bosians. Gravity alone , can crush it. In order to drive it specifically, the power consumed every second reaches 10 million degrees, which is almost comparable to that of a mother ship.
With such a huge gantry, the spacecraft to be built is naturally not small either. Compared with the planned spaceship, the small aircraft that Luo Yuan was on, which was more than ten meters long, looked like a fly next to an elephant and seemed insignificant.
The shape of the spacecraft is still a saucer-shaped structure, but its diameter reaches an astonishing nine kilometers, which is six times the size of the Boxing mother ship. If someone walks from one end to the other, it will take at least two hours. And its mass can reach tens of billions of tons.
This spaceship is not a knock-off of the Bosian mothership, nor is it simply an enlargement. It is a brand new interstellar battleship designed by a new generation. The reason why the spaceship is still in the shape of a saucer is not because humans do not have the technical strength to create spaceships of other shapes. It is because there are not many choices of spacecraft shapes. Although the spaceship is in the harsh environment of space, under normal circumstances, it will not be too close to the stars. The influence of gravity is very small, and it seems that any structure can be used.
But this is only for a stationary spacecraft. The spacecraft still needs to accelerate or decelerate, and may even decelerate rapidly in an emergency. Therefore, the stability requirements of the spacecraft structure are quite high.
It must be symmetrical up and down, left and right, and the mass must be balanced everywhere, which eliminates those weird-shaped structures. At the same time, when flying, the contact surface must be smaller and faster, reducing the probability of hitting a meteorite head-on.
In addition to being larger in size, its technological content far exceeds that of the Glass Star Mother Ship. In the past few years, human science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds, and a large number of new technologies and achievements have emerged one after another, showing an explosive development speed.
