The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

51 Speed ​​Up

In order to avoid collisions with the asteroid swarm, the new space city of the Trisolarans deliberately built it outside the asteroid swarm, and only allowed mining ships to enter the asteroid swarm to collect minerals.

But now the asteroid group seems to have life, crashing into the new space city, it seems to want to regain the resources taken away by the trisolarans.

Soon Jiang Yu and Yang Dong found the source of this "turmoil". It turned out that a star suddenly passed by less than one astronomical unit, and the huge gravitational force caused the orbit of the asteroid group to deviate.

These three stars are so "unreasonable". As long as they are still in the Trisolaran galaxy, such disasters will happen at any time.

Fortunately, the Trisolarans had been guarding against this before they built the new space city. The new space city has a strong braking ability.

As the outer space engine was quickly ignited, the new space city escaped the "attack" of the asteroid swarm without any risk.

Only a few meters and centimeters of meteorites and cosmic dust hit the space city.

The shell of the space city is tough enough to survive unscathed.

However, the "Fleet of the Far Sky" was not so lucky. The shell of the spaceship could not withstand the impact of a meteorite several meters in size, and it was almost completely lost.

Jiang Yu said: "'Parents' see their children come up with something new, this is to celebrate them!"

Yang Dong shook his head and smiled wryly: "This kind of 'celebration' is fine."

Immediately afterwards, the asteroid group rushed towards the new space city again, and Jiang Yu was taken aback: "Do these asteroids have eyes? Why do they keep staring at the new space city?"

Yang Dong keenly sensed: "It's not the asteroid approaching the space city, it's the space city approaching the asteroid!"

Jiang Yu took a closer look, and it was indeed the case. The space city with its aeroengines turned off was heading towards the asteroid group under the pull of the star's gravity.

Because the mass of the new space city is much larger than that of the asteroid, it is also more affected by the gravity of the star than the asteroid.

So the new space city is "chasing" the asteroid group at a faster speed than the asteroid.

In the absence of an obvious reference point, it looks like the asteroid is approaching the new space city again, but it is actually the opposite.

The new space city did not follow this huge gravitational force, but followed this force to the nearest star while avoiding contact with the asteroid swarm.

Yang Dong contacted the person in charge of Space City: "What plans do you have?"

"I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Curie here," said a rough man's voice in the communicator, "I'm Wei Chigong, the general of the Left Guard of the Tang Dynasty, and the mayor of this space city."

Jiang Yu was a little puzzled. They are all space civilizations. Can't they "video call"?
Then he immediately understood, these trisolarans who are like iron roosters!In order to prevent the earthlings from seeing anything about the interior of the space city, they can only make voice calls.

Yu Chigong said: "This star came too suddenly, the spaceship didn't have enough time to accelerate to the third cosmic speed, which means we can't get rid of the gravity of this star for the time being.

"We are going to follow this gravitational force, orbit the nearest star, and use its gravitational force to 'throw' us out."

Yang Dong praised: "Great idea!"

This is the fastest acceleration method for man-made probes or man-made spacecraft. As far as Yang Dong knows, the Apollo spacecraft used the gravity of the earth for the final acceleration.

After the spacecraft enters the "Earth-Moon Transfer Orbit", it does not fly directly to the moon, but after about one and a half circles around the earth, the third section of the rocket is ignited for the second time at a suitable position, leaving low-Earth orbit and flying to the moon.

A similar method is used to return from the moon, which means that the gravitational force of the earth and the moon "throws" the spacecraft over and "throws it back", which is the most labor-saving way to land on the moon.

In addition, the probes launched by humans into outer space will generally be accelerated by revolving around Jupiter.

This way can relatively easily reach the third cosmic speed, and break away from the gravitational force of the sun.

But this method is applicable in the solar system, not necessarily applicable to trisolarans.

Yang Dong reminded Yu Chigong: "You must pay attention to the control of the orbit, so as not to fall into a more dangerous situation."

"This is exactly the problem we are encountering now." Yu Chigong said: "The force fields of the three stars are disordered, and no one knows what will happen when we approach a certain star."

Jiang Yu sighed: "The problem of the three stars has always been the source of all problems."

In the Trisolaran galaxy, not only the fate of the Trisolaran star is unpredictable, but the space vehicles of the Trisolarans also face the same problem.

Unlike the space vehicles on the earth, as long as they reach a certain speed, they can leave the target or fly to the planned target.

In this galactic force field disorder, it is impossible to predict the orbit of the spacecraft, and it is also impossible to predict where the star will throw the new space city after one revolution around the star.

Only by constantly debugging the track can there be a glimmer of life.

Yu Chigong said again: "Although the future is uncertain, we still have to try bravely.

"The 'Dawn Belt' of Trisolaran has been destroyed, and we are the last hope of this wave of civilization."

Jiang Yu was taken aback: "When did it happen?"

Yu Chigong replied, "Just in the last few days."

Jiang Yu and Yang Dong's location is too far away from Trisolaran, and it will take at least three months to go back with the aircraft.

The two had no choice but to turn on the "God's perspective" in the game, and quickly shortened the distance to Trisolaran.

At the position of the three-body star, they only found a white planet, and they couldn't recognize it as a three-body star at all.

Jiang Yu adjusted the game time forward for a while, and the three-body star returned to the scene when they left, and the "dawn belt" that symbolized the upgrade was still so dazzling.

Suddenly, the two stars that were originally flying stars grew in size rapidly, which indicated that they were coming here quickly.

The constant epoch on Trisolaran was immediately broken, and a catastrophic scene ensued, as two stars rushed from the direction of the Eternal Night.

The Yongye side, which has not seen daylight for more than 70 years, is suddenly illuminated by two suns.

The huge amount of ice and snow melted quickly, and it took only half a day to completely submerge the "Dawn Belt".

The great flood swept the whole world, and the flood was quickly evaporated in the direction of the eternal day.

The water vapor was transported in the atmosphere to the previous Eternal Night, causing heavy rain in this hemisphere, which merged with the water from the melting ice and snow, creating a bigger flood.

Then more water is evaporated, the storm is bigger, the flood is bigger, forming a vicious circle.

Jiang Yu and Yang Dong entered the clouds of Trisolaran, and they had never seen the torrential rain here, and the space between the sky and the earth was more like a waterfall than rain.

If a normal person appears on the ground, it is like walking in a river, and there is no chance to breathe.

Even if you stand hard and are not washed away by the rainstorm, even if you are in a high place and you are not in a low place where a huge inland lake appears within ten minutes, you will still drown.

In such weather, the life-saving "dehydration" of the Trisolarans would not have any effect. As soon as they were dehydrated, they were immediately soaked in flood water, forced to "soak", and then drowned.

And this is just the beginning of the disaster.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.
