The Star Yao continues to accelerate, and the particle thrusters created by nuclear fusion reactions give the Star Yao huge power.
Soon, Xingyao's flight speed exceeded the second cosmic speed of 11.2km/s, broke away from the constraints of the earth's gravity, and rushed out of the atmosphere.
At the huge booth, the audience's eyes were focused on the large holographic screen, witnessing with their own eyes the moment when the Shining Star broke out of the earth's atmosphere and the object lost gravity and floated.
"Report to the Earth, report to the Earth, I am Xie Hui, the commander of the Xingyao. The Xingyao has escaped from the gravitational constraints of the earth. Its current speed is 12.9KM/S. Please apply to continue accelerating. The direction of travel is: Mars." A message appeared on the holographic screen. The Chinese man with a nationalist face reported to the camera with a serious look on his face.
With a "crash", the whole venue was boiling.
"Success, the 'Xingyao' has rushed out of the earth."
"Great, great, the age of interstellar navigation has begun."
"Thank you to Xingyao Group and Mr. Zhou for allowing us to see this scene in our lifetime."
“…”
In the huge venue, the audience stood up excitedly and cheered, and countless people shed tears of excitement. The "Xingyao" is not a spacecraft powered by chemical fuel, but a controllable nuclear fusion energy. Its take-off Smooth success heralds the complete start of the interstellar era for human civilization.
"Permission to move forward, please pay attention to safety." Zhou Xing looked at the holographic screen and replied.
"'Xingyao' received." Xie Hui accepted the order and quickly focused on the control panel of the spacecraft.
Zhou Xing turned to look at the audience and introduced: "'Xingyao' will fly to Mars for 30 days during this 30-day voyage, dropping 'base seeds' and kicking off the establishment of a space colony for mankind. It is expected that within two years, a A Mars base capable of housing 100,000 people.”
With a "boom", the audience was in chaos, and countless people were in an uproar.
"Mr. Zhou, isn't today the 'Xingyao' test flight? What's going on with the Mars base?"
"Mr. Zhou, is Mars suitable for human survival?"
"Mars base! It's great. Finally, we don't have to worry about the earth being overcrowded."
"Is this true? In two years, the 'Mars Base' can accommodate so many people?"
“…”
Everyone thought that today was just a test flight of the "Xingyao", but they didn't know that there was a great plan hidden in the follow-up. Suddenly, the entire conference stage was boiling. The reporters were like chicken blood, and the crowd rushed to shout at the people on the stage. Zhou Xing initiated questioning.
Zhou Xing pressed his hands together and said with a smile: "The test flight of 'Xingyao' was successful, so it is logical to open the Mars base."
"The establishment of a space base needs to meet four prerequisites. The first condition: reusable spacecraft to ensure cheap travel to and from space. 'Xingyao' perfectly solves this condition; the second condition: space mining completes resource self-development Supply system: laser drills, mining robots, and large-scale intelligent industrial robot applications perfectly solve this condition. The third condition: energy supply. There is no technology more perfect than nuclear fusion energy. The fourth condition The condition is water resources, and there are unstable water resources on Mars. However, as long as there is sufficient energy, this condition can be easily solved." Zhou Xing introduced to the audience in detail.
After a pause, Zhou Xing continued to introduce: "Mars is one of the eight planets in the solar system and the fourth planet from the inside out. It is a terrestrial planet with a diameter of only 53% of the earth and a mass of 11% of the earth. The inclination of the rotation axis and the rotation period are similar to those of the Earth. One revolution of Mars is about twice the time of the Earth. Compared with the Earth, Mars is less geologically active and its atmosphere is dominated by carbon dioxide. However, it has water resources and is a planet. The most suitable planet for mankind to establish its first space colony."
Zhou Xing looked at the audience and concluded with a smile: "In more than ten years, Xingyao Group has developed intelligent robots, controllable nuclear fusion, life-extending genetic technology, photonic computers, and 3D biological printing technology. From quantitative changes to qualitative changes, We have gathered the technology to start the interstellar era, so you don’t have to wonder whether a Mars base can be built, but you should consider who will be the first to go to the Mars base.”
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the venue burst into thunderous applause.
Everyone was attracted by the scene described by Zhou Xing. Their eyes were hot and they clapped with both hands to pay high respect to him.
It's so great. Zhou Xing is leading human civilization to "move forward" step by step towards the interstellar era. When the life-extending genetic medicine was born, he promised to solve the hidden dangers caused by the rising population. Now, the "Xingyao" test flight is successful, and he has implemented it The promised time is getting closer.
The technologies invented by Shining Star Group have completely solved the need to establish a space base. I believe that it will not be long before emigrating to Mars will become something that everyone must consider.
Time flew by, Zhou Xing's speech ended, and then the heads of state discussed Taoism came to the stage to deliver speeches.
The heads of state who stood on the podium gave endless wonderful speeches, and the content revolved around the theme of the Mars base, the first space base of human civilization.
Soon, the test flight ceremony of "Xingyao" came to an end. In the following days, summits from various countries continued one after another, and the themes revolved around: supporting the construction of Mars bases, population migration, building a second spacecraft... and other matters.
At this great moment, there is only one voice left in the whole world.
"'Xingyao' flew out of the earth, its goal: Mars."
"The interstellar era has begun, and mankind's future journey is the sea of stars."
"The 'Mars Base' is open and will host 100,000 people in two years. Can it be done?"
"China decided to invest trillions of dollars in the Mars project, and the first batch of scientists... "
“…”
"Xingyao" successfully took off, and news related to the launch of the "Mars Base" plan suddenly occupied the homepages of major media around the world.
The photo of Zhou Xing standing on the podium, looking into the distance, and pointing his finger to introduce the Mars base with loud sounds has become a picture quoted by countless news media websites, and they have all been dubbed the "pilot" of the interstellar era of human civilization.
Zhou Xing's reputation was unparalleled and was known to all women and children.
However, Zhou Xing had no time to pay attention to the disturbances from the outside world, and entrusted all the handling of international affairs to his father, Zhou Wenhai. Zhou Xing hid in the laboratory and continued to research the "space-time tunnel machine".
If you have time to argue with politicians from various countries, it would be more meaningful to develop the "space-time tunnel machine" as soon as possible.
In the underground laboratory, you could hear a needle drop. Zhou Xing stared at the data stream on the holographic screen, waiting for Zhou Xiaozhi's calculation results.
Soon, Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing with unbearable expression and reminded: "Boss, the technology realization rate has reached 95%. However, the uncontrollable risk rate still remains above 20%."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded silently, a little discouraged.
However, Zhou Xing quickly adjusted his mentality. In the "scientific research" path, he had long been accustomed to failure, and he had a scientific research attitude that would not give up until the goal was achieved.
"Boss, why don't you exchange some 'wormhole' theories for exchange, maybe you can find other solutions." Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xingdao.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was startled for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "I want to change too! But the contribution value is not enough!"
"That's it!..." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded a little helplessly.
"Wait a minute, what's going on? System, my contribution value has increased so much?" Zhou Xing checked the panel and was surprised by what he saw.
After consuming 4.7 billion contribution points to exchange for "Eighteen Essays on Safely Passing through the Space-Time Tunnel", he should have left around 1.3 billion contribution points. However, at this moment, his contribution value is 4 billion, and the difference of 2 billion means that he has returned to the unexchanged state.
"Host, the contribution value is a statistic of your contribution to 'civilization advancement'. When all the influence targets obtained are 'recognized', the corresponding added value will be obtained. The contribution value belongs to your influence targets, and any changes in them will be related to you. , please control and treat your influence targets well, they will be your solid foundation to launch an attack on top scientists." The system reminded Zhou Xingdao in reply.
Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment and was pleasantly surprised. From the description of the system, he finally understood how to obtain contribution points.
The first is: to promote the development of human civilization, the larger the population base, the greater the upper limit of contribution value. The second is the influence relationship. The more people who know him, the more they worship him, and the more contribution value he gets.
"I understand, I understand. Open the exchange list. I want to exchange materials and theoretical information related to 'Wormhole'." Zhou Xing nodded and said excitedly.
Zhou Xing remembered something and added: "By the way, we also need theoretical information on the design and solution of the 'wormhole' instrument."
"Okay! Host." The system responded.
Immediately, a list of exchanges came into Zhou Xing's eyes.
Zhou Xing's eyes lit up and he locked a theory in the dense list.
"By the way, that's it. I want to redeem it, 'Space-Time Energy Theory'." Zhou Xing excitedly demanded from the system.
The huge flaws of the "Space-Time Tunnel Machine" are inseparable from the support of space-time theory. The content of "Eighteen Essays on Safely Passing Space-Time Tunnels" is too detailed, but lacks the support of the main body theory. It is like a novel, using The "plot" has no main line. As a result, Zhou Xing has been unable to figure out the context of the "space-time wormhole".
"Host, the exchange is successful, and your contribution of 3.7 billion will be deducted." The system replied.
"Okay!" Zhou Xing nodded, not feeling heartbroken.
Zhou Xing now understands that as long as the human population continues to explode and he continues to research technologies that have great power to promote human civilization, contribution value will continue to be generated. This thing is a completely renewable resource.
Zhou Xing ordered the system: "Go to the library!"
Immediately, Zhou Xing saw a virtual space filled with rows of giant bookshelves.
Zhou Xing couldn't wait to sit down at his desk, couldn't wait to open "The Theory of Space-Time Energy", and devoted himself wholeheartedly to it.
Opening the "Theory of Space-Time Energy" Zhou Xing seemed to have opened another world. What are the characteristics of the universe? For example, from atoms and elementary particles (neutrons, protons, electrons, neutrinos, quarks, antiquarks, virons, yonons, taons, etc.) in the microcosm to black holes, stars, and quasars in the macrocosm, certain physical properties such as Strong force, gravity, weak force, vacuum zero point, etc.
Countless energy knowledge that needs to be understood is constantly presented. As the study deepens, the concept of the multi-dimensional universe quickly enters Zhou Xing's vision. There is no non-moving matter in the universe. The "space-time wormhole" is built on a constantly moving multi-dimensional universe. basically.
…
Time flies by like a white horse passing by. More than two months have passed.
After arriving on Mars fifteen days, the "Xingyao" dropped the "base seeds" for building a base, and then returned to Earth to carry the next batch of base construction materials.
The "base seeds" abandoned on Mars started working under Zhou Xiaozhi's remote control. A huge number of engineering machinery vehicles and intelligent engineering robots came out of the "seed bank". They were like hard-working ants, with a clear division of labor. Start the "foraging and building a community" operation.
Mineral collection smart vehicles go around to detect the landforms and find the geographical environment suitable for building a base. The laser drilling vehicle arrives at the collection point and prepares to start collecting. It has human form, spider form, multi-legged and multi-hand form, engineering robot form... The base project quickly started. , solar panels were first installed by engineering robots, and simple large solar generator sets were first used to continuously transmit energy to the "base".
Various forms of engineering intelligent robots accepted Zhou Xiaozhi's orders and carried out various engineering constructions. Soon, a "dusty" construction scene appeared on Mars.
A large number of instruments in the base were quickly installed and started by engineering intelligent robots. The humanoid machines used existing resources to start transforming the base. The engineering intelligent robots launched expansion operations around the base, and various small experimental "factories" began to be established in the base.
The laser drilling machine penetrates the ground, and the engineering vehicle excavates the foundation. The heavy engineering vehicle hammers the foundation and releases microwaves to perform various hardening treatments on the ground. The drill vehicle and the intelligent engineering vehicle begin drilling holes to open up the giant pipeline space. The base-centered Within an area of 100,000 square kilometers, a large number of intelligent robots moved efficiently under the command of Zhou Xiaozhi.
The "micro factory" inside the base began to operate. Resources such as oxygen, aluminum, iron, titanium, and silicon were continuously refined and separated. Bio-3D printers were operated and various instruments and equipment began to be manufactured to meet the self-supply tasks of the base's resources.
The entire base is filled with various engineering robots and busy intelligent engineering vehicles. The huge infrastructure project is broadcast live for people all over the world through super quantum communication technology.
Holographic projections on the walls of high-rise buildings, wall-mounted TVs on elevator floors, advertising boards in shopping malls, and holographic screens on pedestrians' wrist optics... The magnificent construction scenes of the "Mars Base" continue to appear, and the outline of the Mars Base becomes increasingly clear.
All mankind is staring at the progress of the construction of the "Mars Base". After the dream of extending lifespan and unlimited energy has been realized, interstellar travel and life on Mars have become a dream that countless people across the world long for.
