Punch in the heavens

Chapter 70
On January 2074, 1, the Earth was only 20 kilometers away from the orbit of Jupiter. It was estimated that it would reach the orbit of Jupiter in 0.7 hours, and then use the planetary slingshot principle to accelerate the Earth.

All navigators serving on the space station and all survivors and soldiers on Earth are looking forward to that moment.

In Beijing No. [-] Underground City, in Liu Qi's room, Fang Yan looked at Liu Qi with a serious expression and said, "Liu Qi, you go to school to pick up Duo Duo now."

After listening to the dialect, Liu Qi was very puzzled. Seeing the serious expression of the master, he asked, "Master, Duo Duo should still be in class now. Bring her back now. What does the teacher say?"

"No need to explain so much, let me ask you, how long will it take for the earth to reach the orbit of Jupiter?"

"Master, there are still five hours and 43 minutes!"

Liu Qi looked at the communicator in his left hand. The alliance government had already notified this matter in real time, and everyone in the world was paying attention.

"It's good that you know, everyone is waiting for the moment when the earth escapes through Jupiter's orbit, but tell me, are we all thinking in the best way?"

"Master, what do you mean by that?" Liu Qi was even more confused. Everyone was looking forward to the moment when the earth reached Jupiter's orbit, but her master seemed to be afraid.

Fang Yan looked at Liu Qi, he didn't know what to say, as if he couldn't stop the earth from falling into the orbit of Jupiter.

He has been thinking about other ways to accelerate the earth to one percent of the speed of light, but unfortunately, he can't do it, and it really can't be done with the current technology.

In order for the earth to fly to Proxima Centauri, it is necessary to break away from the gravity of the sun. Man-made engines alone are not enough, and Jupiter’s gravitational slingshot is needed.

When the earth is close to Jupiter, it will be attracted by its strong gravitational force, thus speeding up its travel speed. Since Jupiter itself is also revolving around the sun, Jupiter attracts the earth and gives the earth a part of the speed. The earth is equivalent to being accelerated. Finally, the earth When escaping from Jupiter, it will be thrown by Jupiter like a throwing ball, so as to achieve the speed required to escape from the solar system.This is the gravitational slingshot effect.

This is also the reason why the earth has to go to the orbit of Jupiter.Relying on the energy contained in the earth itself, if you want to accelerate to 1% of the speed of light, you need to dig 40 meters down from the earth's surface, which is simply impossible.

"If the gravitational slingshot fails and the earth cannot escape, guess what will happen?"

What will happen, what will happen, these words in the dialect are like a nightmare, constantly echoing in Liu Qi's ears.

With his understanding of mechanics, dynamics in physics, it was a disaster.

To explain this problem, a new term has to be introduced-tidal force.

Tidal force is when the gravitational source exerts a gravitational effect on an object, the difference in gravitational force produced by different points on the object due to the different distances from the gravitational source.

To explain it in vernacular, Jupiter is a very large gravitational source, and he has a very strong gravitational force. When the distance between the earth and Jupiter is extremely short, the gravitational force of Jupiter will act on the earth.

And because the earth is a sphere, the gravity of Jupiter is attached to the surface of the earth, and the gravity obtained by each point is different. When gravity exerts force, because the force on the earth is uneven, it will squeeze the earth abruptly. broken.

"Master, is what you said true?" Liu Qi asked tremblingly, he couldn't be blamed for being cowardly, this matter was too shocking, he had to take it easy.

"Haha, it scares you. That's the worst situation. The time hasn't come yet. Who knows what will happen. Hurry up and bring Dodo back!"

Dialect didn't tell the truth. He didn't want to put pressure on Liu Qi. Even if he knew, he couldn't change it. One less person would only increase his troubles!
"Yes, Master!"

When Liu Qi left, he was still thinking about what the dialect said just now.

"Wangcai, check in!"

"Punch in successfully, get the skill golden body, trigger this skill, the host will gain an invincible state for three seconds, and the cooling time of this skill is three days. Remarks: This state ignores all levels, types, etc. of damage to the host itself!"

"Wangcai, are you sure this is the reward I got for punching in just now? Didn't you say that the reward for punching in the card won't exceed the upper limit of the world? Is the thing you gave me now, something that this world can have?"

Dialect doesn't know what to say, he's excited, no matter whether Wangcai is in a daze or not, but his skill is too powerful, in the true sense, he is invincible for three seconds.

In these three seconds, he can...he can...

Well, thinking about it, it seems that he can't do much in these three seconds. At most, he can save a small life. But if he really encounters a strong enemy that he can't deal with, even if he can survive for three seconds, what will happen after that?
"You just live on the earth. This world has a vast universe. Do you think you can detect everything?"

Wangcai didn't answer his question, but asked him another question.

Wangcai's answer was terrified after careful consideration, and Fang Yan suddenly discovered that the world was not as simple as she imagined, and anytime she underestimated others, she would be sent to a dead end.

The three-second golden body, no matter where this skill comes from, it is of great help to him at the moment, at least no matter what he encounters, he has a chance to respond.

Looking at the communicator in the left hand, the time is constantly counting down, and the distance from the earth to Jupiter's orbit is getting closer and closer, and everyone is looking forward to it.

……

And at the moment of the navigator space station, people are not even aware of the danger coming.

Today, Liu Peiqiang has been stationed in the space station for more than 17 years, and his service mission also ends today. After the earth reaches the orbit of Jupiter, he will return to the earth in a spaceship with two other space station navigators, and accompany him for 17 years The son I haven’t seen for years.

"Liu, you are the protagonist today. I have a good bottle of wine here. You have to try it."

As he said that, Lao Ma took out a bottle of Erguotou from his hidden small cabinet. Unexpectedly, this old Mao liked the things of old Beijing very much, and he was very knowledgeable.

"Old Ma, alcohol is prohibited in the Navigator space station. Do you want me to lose my life at the end of the festival? Although I really want to drink a few sips to satisfy my hunger for so many years, I am not in a hurry for this moment."

Liu Peiqiang was not overwhelmed by the excitement. Although alcohol was banned in the Navigator Space Station, with today's advanced technology, there is actually no serious problem. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for the old horse to bring alcohol up.

"Well, it's all Bondarenko's stupidity to blame, otherwise he wouldn't even be afraid to drink wine."

Why can't wine enter the space station? This has to start from March 1961, 3.

At that time, Bondarenko came to the low-pressure simulation cabin. This was an endurance test, and it was also his last few tests before preparing for the space walk. Everything went well. He even felt that he was only a few steps away from stepping on the moon.

Soon, he completed all the tests, proudly throwing a roll of cotton on the ground.However, at the moment when he was about to come out, the electric heating plate for warming tea burst into flames. Since the oxygen concentration in the simulation cabin increased much faster than outside, the entire cabin was soon engulfed in flames.

Bondarenko was also severely burned in the flames. Even though the staff tried their best to rescue him afterwards, the astronaut who was at the same time as Gagarin still left this world 16 hours after the accident.

And this accident also caused the space program with only three weeks left to be forced to change on the spot. Gagarin replaced him as the Soviet Union's No. 1 moon landing.
