Hao Ren felt that he shouldn't have expected Raven 12345 to arrange a reliable interstellar journey for him from the very beginning, but Nangong Wuyue and Yizaks obviously didn't care about these details. After choosing their own room and throwing their luggage in the room, they came to Hao Ren to inquire about the next arrangement. Among them, Izaks suggested Fighting the Landlord, which he had just learned...
Hao Ren really didn't want to spend his first interstellar journey in Doudi Zhu, and Nangong Wuyue didn't want to either, so the two of them stared at the data terminal: "What can I do now?"
The data terminal connected itself to the data interface of the cabin, and a set of holographic projections popped up: "Before entering the superluminal state, you can look at the scene outside the spacecraft. It has not left the asteroid belt yet. After passing this area, the spacecraft will It will turn to the open area, and then there will be nothing but darkness to see."
Hao Ren found that the holographic projection was the scene outside the spaceship. The viewing angle should be a monitor installed somewhere on the hull of the ship. He could see a large piece of alloy armor plate spreading out in his field of vision, and the first The fourth connection port and the space station facilities outside are rapidly retreating from the edge of the steel land. There are two huge beams of light emitted from the steeple-like facilities at the top of the fourth connection port, extending parallel to the two sides of the spaceship. The data terminal told him, That's the navigation beam used to guide the spacecraft.
"...I thought the asteroid belt would be very dense," Hao Ren looked at the empty dark area at the edge of the screen, "Why can't you see a meteorite group outside the space station?"
"The universe is empty, and the so-called dense asteroid belt is only relative to the emptiness of the entire universe," the data terminal explained, "Generally, the distance between two asteroids will be between tens of thousands of kilometers to hundreds of thousands of kilometers Unless you are flying in a group of fragments formed after a large celestial body breaks up, the scene you see in sci-fi movies with space fighters posing in the rain of asteroids is It won’t happen. The Kuiper station was built in the debris group after a large celestial body was broken, so you saw a lot of meteorites gathered together in the space station as a building base, but outside the space station must be It’s empty. And even if there are asteroids floating over outside, it must be cleaned up—the spaceships come and go so frequently, what if any ship hits a hole with thin skin and stuffing?”
Hao Ren knew that this was knowledge and even common sense that he must use in the future. So he nodded while listening to it, while Nangong Wuyue looked at the exterior scene curiously for a while and asked a question: "Why don't you feel it when you accelerate?"
"The inner space is constant," the data terminal seemed very patient this time, "every spaceship that can enter the super-light state in a short time must have a supporting space constant technology. It is used to keep the space inside the spaceship constant. A system independent of external coordinates, or use other methods to offset inertia. Simply put, it is to keep your position and the spacecraft relatively still, and isolate the relative movement with everything in the universe, so that you will not be photographed on the cabin when accelerating. Turn into a pile of mosaics, think about it, this thing will accelerate to the speed of light... "
Nangong Wuyue nodded happily: "Oh, I don't understand."
You are so happy!
At this moment, Hao Ren suddenly saw another bright light appearing at the edge of the spaceship's exterior screen, and the entire monitoring screen immediately turned around. He saw another wedge-shaped spaceship floating out of another nearby connection port, and the cooling grid around the spaceship was slowly turning red, as if it was about to enter a state of acceleration.
Hao Ren hadn't had time to marvel at the frequent passenger traffic of this space station, when he heard Captain 883's angry voice in the cabin: "Boys and girls on board, and passengers in the VIP cabin. Now please transfer to c - No. 15 exterior observation line, what you see is the high-speed cargo ship kn-03 from the Fiali Void Consortium. It has been a strong competitor of this ship on this route for the past seven years. Now kn-03 has opened Cooling the grid and entering the engine charging state, obviously it wants to have a beautiful short-range acceleration and then use the super light engine to throw the ship away. Mom doesn’t know it—please hold your quick effect and hold your child after hearing the announcement, yes Yes, this ship is going to play for real!"
Hao Ren: "...Damn it!"
The voice of "Fuck" just fell. I felt the entire cabin tremble violently. It wasn't the inertial tremor when accelerating, but shaking like an earthquake. Obviously, the entire main structure of the spaceship was trembling. Hao Ren didn't even dare to think about the strong Captain 883, who is the same as the governor of California, activated something big, and only saw several strong lights burst out instantly on the holographic projection in front of him. The modified heat dissipation grids hidden under the outer shell of the spaceship all burst out with hot, almost pale flames, while the high-speed cargo ship kn-03 in the distance quickly retreated in the screen, and the vibration of the cabin became more and more intense. The fiery flames erupting everywhere slowly became blurred by the strong vibration of the hull, and soon the distant starlight was drawn into weird long strips. The starlight at the upper end of the exterior view side picture begins to show a clear blue, while the lower end of the picture shifts towards red light at the same speed—the spacecraft is rapidly approaching the speed of light, so that the observed starlight has shown obvious signs of red and blue shift .
Finally, with the "bang" sound of the entire hull, the illegal acceleration ended, the exterior observation screen became pitch black, the curvature engine of the spaceship took over the work of the acceleration engine, and the entire spaceship entered a closed space bubble and began to overtake. Moving at the speed of light, it should arrive at the destination when it leaves the space bubble next time.
Captain 883's voice sounded again: "Boys and girls and the passengers in the VIP cabin, this acceleration has been successfully completed. We have proved the excellent performance of No. 883 ship with facts. Now the command of this ship is temporarily transferred to the ship's main engine. , I wish you all a smooth sailing, now the captain has to go to the confinement room to spend 24 hours according to the regulations and apply for an accounting ticket from the Imperial Waterway Management Team, goodbye, everyone."
Hao Ren, Yizaks, and Nangong Wuyue looked at each other. They were silent for ten seconds and then began to laugh dryly. The data terminal said quietly, "Why hasn't this machine met a normal person since I met you?"
Hao Ren was speechless, so he followed Nangong Wuyue to study the weird equipment in the cabin.
But after studying it for a short time, he found it boring: the advancement of technology inevitably tends to simplify operation, just like his data terminal with amazing performance has become so simple that even Lily can use mind control to operate it easily. Everything in the cabin is also designed for extreme intelligence and simplicity. Most of the equipment supports thought sensing, and a few things that you don’t understand how to use can be understood as long as the data terminal is introduced next to it. This makes exploration fun decrease very much.
"After all, this is a civilian passenger cabin," Y'zaks said with the attitude of someone who has been there, "I heard that there are countless intelligent races in every universe, and the world in the void is endless, and each intelligent race has different understanding methods and levels of civilization. The same is true, so those experts who study life equipment are thinking of ways to make the things they make easier to use. Some devices even teach their users how to turn on the device. Instead of listing a manual, they will teach you step by step. Some civilian devices are even equipped with an advanced intelligence that directly asks you what you want to do, and then it operates itself."
The data terminal immediately popped up to express its presence: "Yes, this machine is like this. But this is only limited to the civilian field and downgraded military products, and more advanced things are not so simple."
A group of people were bored in the cabin with nothing to do. Nangong Wuyue made a suggestion that he wanted to go outside and see what the alien spacecraft looked like, but he was sent back politely within 30 minutes of going out—not prohibited The passenger got out of the cabin, but the girl lost her way when she went out. The corridor structure in the spaceship is intricate, and the signs of various corners and other things are also weird. If it weren't for someone standing guard at the key parts, the siren girl would have walked into the cooling pipe in minutes. Dry out the fish.
Should this be said to be the innate skill of travelers
So Hao Ren's first interstellar journey really unfolded in the way he likes to see: under the second suggestion of Izaks, the three of them started to fight against the landlord...
Until the spacecraft stopped over an terrestrial planet.
