Chapter 307 Traveling Through the Nebula
Two weeks later.

The Feitian, which approached the large-scale space quantum communication relay base station, sent out the video package.

Afterwards, the spacecraft switched to autopilot, and all crew members entered the dormant compartment of the dormant room.

The dormant compartment can keep the human body in the lowest energy consumption state. At low temperature, the cell activity drops to the lowest level, just like animals hibernate, which can minimize energy consumption and reduce damage to the human body.

In fact, the greatest significance of the dormancy chamber is not to save the nutrient consumption during the dormancy process, but to prevent various physiological and psychological problems that human beings will have during the long interstellar journey in a closed environment.

Physiological aging can be overcome with drugs; psychological problems cannot be overcome with drugs.

Common mental illnesses such as autism, environmental claustrophobia, hallucinations, and mania, once they attack in the spacecraft...

Lie flat in the dormancy compartment, before starting dormancy.

"Grandpa, I'm going to sleep for 160 years this time, do you have any questions?" Yun Xinghe asked, the grandpa in his mind is in a symbiotic relationship with him, if he falls asleep, will something happen to the grandpa?
Like disappearing suddenly.

"Don't worry, the old man won't leave, you can have a good rest."

"Hmm~"

Yun Xinghe nodded, and pressed the button to activate the dormant chamber.

"呲呲~" A mist of liquid sprayed out in front of him, and the stun-inducing ingredients in it made him fall into a coma, and he lost all consciousness after a while.

……

"Ding~"

"The character has entered a deep sleep state, do you want to exit the game?" The system suddenly prompts.

"no!"

This is where the flexibility of The Sims comes in. There are so many options when you want to get out of the game.

In reality, Zhou Ming also happened to have some things to do. In the past few days, he could put Yun Xinghe aside and concentrate on his own affairs.

……

In the vastness of space.

A drifting spaceship is doing unpowered gliding flight.

In the quiet, dark universe, like a ghost ship.

"Whoa~"

The hibernation compartment is open.

A man sat up holding his head.

Splitting headache.

a dream.

A dream that lasted a long time.

The scenes in the dream are as strange as a kaleidoscope, but I don't remember anything after waking up.

Even some of the original memories are blurred and chaotic.

After more than ten minutes, he remembered his name——Yun Xinghe.

"Son, you're awake." There was a voice in my head.

"Who are you?" Yun Xinghe was taken aback and asked.

"It seems that a lot of your memory has disappeared. In the medical room, there is a memory recovery machine. Your memory has been backed up there. Go and get your memory back." The voice in the head reminded.

Yun Xinghe nodded and found the medical room. After seeing the memory recovery machine, he put on the helmet and started the journey of retrieving memories.

Coupled with some medical treatment, Yun Xinghe completely returned to normal after three days.

Inside the bridge control hall.

Sit on the captain's seat, open the control panel, and first check the status of the spaceship.

"All systems function normally."

"87% of the energy remains, 65% of the acceleration medium remains, and 95% of the living supplies on board."

"Current sailing speed 0.45201C, current total sailing time: 163.33 years."

"Report: A damage was found on the right wing of the Feitian. It is speculated that it was caused by the impact of space floating objects. The damage is slight, but it is recommended to repair it immediately."

A problem reported by the spacecraft intelligence brain stunned Yun Xinghe, who was enjoying lunch beef, and made the intelligence brain point the camera at the damaged part:

Yun Xinghe saw that the right wing of the spaceship, near the tip of the wing, had a fist-sized hole in the thin surface.

Although the wing was not penetrated, a drop of cold sweat still broke out on the forehead. Fortunately, it hit the wing position. If it hit the bridge control hall...

After lunch, I changed into an extravehicular spacesuit, carried an air bag, and brought repair tools, and tied my waist with a long belt. After leaving the cabin, I flew nearly 200 meters before arriving at Yunxinghe. parts.

A piece of force field alloy was refilled, and the gap was welded with a high-energy laser. With precise operation, it only took 15 minutes to repair the damaged part.

Standing on the surface of the spaceship, looking up and looking up, Yun Xinghe was shocked.

The starlight in the sky is bright and beautiful. The original tulle-like Omar Nebula, at close range, is like a colorful silk, red, blue, purple, orange, white, gray, dyed with various colors. kind of color.

meteor shower.

Yun Xinghe also saw a very rare meteor shower. Space meteorites came from nowhere. Looking at the distance of two more light moons, it also looks very clear.

"It's so beautiful."

Yun Xinghe sighed inwardly.

After returning to the spaceship, after a few days, I checked all the equipment and systems on board, and after confirming that there was no problem, Yun Xinghe woke up all the sleeping partners.

"The Omar Nebula is coming soon, Feitian is about to slow down and pass through the Omar Nebula!"

……

"It hurts, my head hurts."

"Who am I? Where am I?"

"How long have I been asleep?"

"My head really hurts..."

After the teammates were awakened, their symptoms were similar to Yun Xinghe's. After sending them to the medical room one by one, they basically returned to normal within a week.

In the bridge control hall.

All members discussed and passed the strategy of Omar Nebula.

"The thickness of the Omar Nebula is not thick, the average thickness is about 3 light-years, and the thinnest part is less than 1 light-year, but the area is very large, with a length of more than 70 light-years and a width of more than 20 light-years. Large, most of the area, starlight can pass through..."

"But we can't ignore the dangers involved. Space storms and special magnetic fields may cause the spacecraft to fly abnormally or malfunction. It is impossible to bypass this nebula. It will increase the flight period by ten years. Even if the spacecraft is lowered The speed of passing through in a straight line is also more cost-effective than detour.”

The question is: How much should the spacecraft speed be reduced to?
"0.35 times the speed of light. At this speed, the force field alloy should be able to withstand the impact of low-density matter."

The chief engineer Xia Xingkong said, after thinking for a while, he added: "After entering the interior of the nebula, the frictional resistance will also slow down the speed of the spacecraft, and the temperature on the surface of the spacecraft will rise...so it is not appropriate to start the main engine, and the spacecraft's Speed, automatically decelerate to a safe range, and then turn on the power system."

"Then it's better to let the spacecraft slow down to the minimum. There is no shortage of energy on the Feitian, but the acceleration medium has been used up by one-third, and it should be replenished. We can open the matter collector on the spacecraft to collect some acceleration. Medium." Sugaru made a timely suggestion.

However, the matter collector can only be used normally when the speed of the spacecraft is less than 0.1C. If the speed exceeds this speed, the collector will be damaged by high-speed particles.

However, some people think that it is not necessary. After passing through the Orma Nebula, after flying about ten light-years, we will reach the star P654J. The acceleration medium should be enough, and there is no need to supplement it. The speed of C, passing through the Orma Nebula.

In the face of these opinions, just to be on the safe side, Yun Xinghe said: "It is better to wait until the spacecraft automatically drops to 0.1C, then open the matter collector and add some acceleration medium. When the acceleration medium is full, introduce part of it into the material reaction. Combustion in the furnace, no longer use energy blocks, saving some energy consumption.”

Except for the iron element, the material reactor on the spaceship can burn everything. As long as there is a continuous flow of matter, the spaceship will have inexhaustible energy.

……

two months later.

Feitian, whose speed dropped to 0.35C, plunged into the Omar Nebula.

"Boom boom~"

A large number of atoms are constantly rubbing and exploding on the surface of the spaceship.

The Feitian trembled violently, its speed continued to drop, and the temperature on the surface of the hull rose to more than 3000 degrees within a few hours, like carbon wrapped in a ball of fire.

Yun Xinghe and the others still underestimated the difficulty of crossing this nebula. It was okay in the thin outer area, but after entering the thick central area, the concentration of matter suddenly increased, as if entering a viscous glue lake, the speed was so fast Can't get up.

There are also violent storms. This kind of space storm is not a few levels or a dozen levels, but dozens or hundreds of levels!The speed of the hurricane can reach thousands of kilometers per second, and Feitian has been blown countless times into abnormal flying postures, rolling, spinning, or flying around like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

The crew members in the spaceship were all vomiting and diarrhea, and their heads were spinning dizzily.

They hated it in their hearts, why their spaceship is so small, it can't even stop a small space storm?

If there is a billion-ton heavy spacecraft, it is not afraid of this hurricane at all!
It was Sugaru, the helmsman, clenching his teeth, controlling the joystick with his eyes tearing apart, turning the spaceship to the maximum afterburner from time to time, adjusting the direction of the engine nozzle, and trying to adjust the attitude to escape the influence of the storm.

This process of ecstasy and death lasted for more than a year. Some people even vomited bile. On average, everyone lost more than ten catties. Finally, they finally flew out from the central area of ​​the largest storm.

It took more than three years, after flying out of the Omar Nebula completely, and looking back at the coquettish and beautiful nebula, everyone felt lingering fear.

And swear in their hearts that next time they encounter this kind of nebula, they would rather fly for another ten years than stay in it for a year!
