Black technology: starting with space jump machine

Raven series spacecraft are specially used to transport materials back and forth between the Earth and the Moon. They transport high-end industrial materials and intelligent robots from the Earth to the Moon and Lagrange points, and transport helium-3, rare earths and various rare minerals that have been preliminarily processed from the Moon to the Earth. Lagrange points are completely export windows. Because of the threat of unknown fleets, this situation will continue for a long time.

The Raven 005 spacecraft where Yang Weili and his team are located has a space of 300 meters, and nearly 70% of the space is used to load materials. If there are few passengers, the space in the passenger cabin will be compressed to make more storage space for the cargo hold.

"This kind of black-hearted spacecraft will be eliminated in less than 20 years!" Bona said angrily to someone on the side: "Just now I applied for permission to look at the external armor of this ship. Who knew that the host of the spacecraft actually told me that it was removed after the installation!! This means that we are flying in space on a naked spacecraft!"

In the early 21st century, there was no such thing as external armor on manned spacecraft, and now spacecraft can sail in the universe with high-strength materials alone without any accidents. I even think that from the data collected by the first generation of Raven spacecraft, the second generation of Raven spacecraft of the design institute will further reduce the protection measures to increase the transportation volume.

But Yang Weili was too lazy to pay attention to Bona, and sat in his seat to adjust the external camera of the spacecraft.

At this time, the spacecraft has come to the orbit of the Lagrange point space city after deceleration. The technological miracle of building a city overnight in the past has become even larger. Of course, the main materials no longer need to overcome the gravity of the blue planet and are laboriously exported from the blue planet.

Scientists have discovered that the back of the moon is rich in oxygen-rich minerals and water brought by meteorites. Now the infrastructure of the lunar industrial base has been completed, and the permanent population has reached 130,000. It is the most important intelligent automated industrial base for mankind and the largest spacecraft construction dock.

The gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of that of the earth, and the transport spacecraft consumes less energy to get rid of gravity than on the blue planet.

A large amount of materials exported from the moon will be used to build the frame of the spacecraft. Some high-precision devices can only come from the research institute of the blue planet. Now they have arrived at the Lagrange space city with the Raven spacecraft to complete the final assembly.

The huge double-ring structure in front of him is constantly rotating. The inner and outer double rings are constantly rotating to provide the centripetal force to simulate the gravity environment.

When Yang Weili felt the weight again, he knew that the Raven 005 spacecraft had reached the final stage of landing. At the same time, several hours of sleep also made his stomach feel hungry. He was ready to have a good meal after arriving at the space city.

The footage sent back by the external camera-hundreds of sweepers like the 21st century were suspended from the moon and evenly attached to the outer shell of the spacecraft, and then they formed a connection with each other to coat the Raven spacecraft with a layer of blue electromagnetic shield, and then the spacecraft smoothly entered the electromagnetic deceleration belt of the outer ring.

The Raven spacecraft that completed the deceleration was introduced into a huge steel box in front of the outer ring electromagnetic track in the electromagnetic field. A slight vibration was that the fixer in the box was connecting the spacecraft. After the fixation was completed, the steel box slowly descended, and in a blink of an eye, only the flat apron and eight straight electromagnetic tracks on the surface of the outer ring were left, quietly flashing with a frequency of green light.

【Raven 005 has docked at Space City Dock No. 1, and this journey is over. Please take your personal belongings with you. The cargo in the cargo hold will be delivered to the designated warehouse of the passengers after quarantine within 24 hours. 】

Because of the simulated gravity and because they were scolded in the space elevator before, the officers quickly left the spacecraft after tidying up their instruments and lined up for quarantine outside.

【Mr. Yang Weili, a Chinese citizen, quarantine completed, allowed to pass! 】

【Friendly reminder, your blood sugar is currently low. It is recommended to eat and replenish energy as soon as possible. 】

As soon as Yang Weili came out of the rapid quarantine booth, a female bionic robot with a head and torso that looked no different from a human handed him a cup of transparent liquid. The only difference between this bionic man and a human is that the metal structure and blood vessel-like data lines can be seen clearly on the neck.

Looks like a bionic man in a certain game.

【This is glucose water, the temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. Please enjoy it slowly, sir. 】

"Thank you."

Yang Weili's whispered thanks earned a sweet smile from the female bionic man. After bowing slightly to him, she returned to the reception seat and waited.

"Are the current intelligent programs so powerful?" Bona, who followed Yang Weili out of the quarantine booth, sighed and said, "I heard that artificial wombs have been popularized in qualified hospitals. Maybe in the future, children will be born by robots!"

"Then you can have as many children as you want with robots when you find enough eggs in the future!"

"That won't work! My parents are traditional Texans. They know about American rednecks, right? If I let a robot give birth to a child for me, I'm afraid I won't even be allowed to go to church in my hometown!"

"Hehehe, but I'll tell you secretly, Building 6, No. 169 Street, Space City Industrial Base is a good place! There is no difference between the bionic people inside and real people. No, no, no! They should be more beautiful than real people! We have two hours of rest time, otherwise."

Yang Weili shook his head and quickened his pace to get away from this guy who was obsessed with sex.

After all officers gathered in the dock hall, the commander gave them two hours of rest time. After that, they reassembled in the dock to start a three-year military exercise.

Rejecting Bona's invitation to go to the "good place" again, Yang Weili took an autonomous single-person suspension car from the dock module to the living area.

The industrial base of the space city is built in the inner ring, covering an area of ​​about 400 square kilometers, and is still expanding. The industrial base is divided into large modules such as industrial modules, dock modules and living area modules. Each large module will be separated by strict protection measures to prevent the collapse of a large module from affecting other modules in the event of a major crisis. Each large module will be subdivided into small modules for easy control and safety.

The living area is the most comfortable area among all the large modules. The early collective dormitories were transformed into this area as the industrial base continued to expand. The high ceiling in the living area is projected with the blue sky on the earth. On the neat streets, not only are there real people running shops, but you can even see real green grass and trees, but these precious plants are all hung with bright red warnings not to touch or trample.

Yang Weili walked through the neat commercial street skillfully, and found a noodle shop he often went to in an alley: "Boss, three taels of slightly spicy snail noodles with oil fruit!"

The familiar boss had watched the live broadcast on Blue Star early, and joked to Yang Weili: "Hey, isn't this our hero - Major Yang? Take advantage of the last bit of time before departure to taste the taste of your hometown?"

Unlike the industrial area where most of the labor is replaced by bionic people and robots, most of the shops in the living area are run by natural person bosses. This makes Yang Weili feel more at home than many metropolises on Blue Star that are completely entrusted to the labor services of bionic people. However, most of the 130,000 people are doing fine work in the cutting-edge research institutes in the industrial area. Because the launch time of the spacecraft is approaching, only a part of the stranded passengers make the commercial street look a little deserted.

"That's right, isn't it? I'll be craving this noodle forever!"

"Okay, prepare a special portion of snail noodles with full ingredients for our hero. Don't forget to take care of my shop when you become successful in the future!"

The unique smell of the freshly made snail noodles made Yang Weili's appetite grow. As soon as he picked up his chopsticks, he was surprised and said, "Hey, there are sour bamboo shoots?"

Sour bamboo shoots are fermented foods. They will be judged as corrupt foods during security checks. According to the management regulations of the industrial base, they are not allowed to enter.

"Hush, keep your voice down. This is the real thing that I got from the laboratory channel through an old friend. If it weren't for the fact that your old customer is going to leave for such a long time, I would not be willing to take it out!"

"Thank you, boss!" Yang Weili quickly took a bite and said with satisfaction, "Sure enough, snail noodles need sour bamboo shoots to have soul!"

After the boss served Yang Weili the food, he didn't disturb him from enjoying the food. He sat alone on the cooking table and watched the news on the holographic projection.

[Industrial News disclosed that the total output value of D31 steel in the first industrial zone last year was 2.35 million tons, and titanium carbon fiber was 3.69 million tons]

The boss muttered in a low voice: "What are these guys doing? The output has not been raised for three consecutive years! Do you want me, an old man, to go back to the front line?"

The time for enjoying food always passes quickly. A large bowl of noodles was finished by Yang Weili in a blink of an eye, and there was no soup left.

"Are you full?"

"Yeah."

"Then do your best, great heroes of mankind! In the future, it will depend on you guys to continue to develop the solar system!"

"Boss, you are going to flatter us to death! You are the cornerstone of the space industrial base. If you hadn't built the city overnight, we, the so-called space army, wouldn't even have a base1"

"The past is over! The future is still yours!"

After exchanging a wave of business with the boss, who was a senior engineer and set up a stall in his spare time to make the taste of his hometown, Yang Weili left the store. After walking along the commercial street and visiting several familiar store managers, most of the two-hour rest time had passed.

He stood in front of the small module in the commercial district and looked back at these store managers. They all contributed almost all their energy to this space base in the past ten years. When they retired, they were reluctant to leave, fearing that the young engineers who came later would make mistakes and wait here to be ready to take the lead again.

They are the heroes of mankind, the heroes who can steadily take the first step in exploring the universe! Yang Weili saluted silently and stood for a long time before getting on the unmanned floating car to the dock area.

"Everyone is here!"

The Chinese-looking commander waited for all the officers to report their numbers and began to speak: "I am Major General Liu, the commander-in-chief of this military exercise. I believe that there should be no officers in the audience who don't know me? Because those who don't know me should be in the military police now!"

The queue laughed, but soon calmed down.

"Since you are already here, it means that you already understand what threats humanity will face, so..."

"No matter what color you are, no matter what country you come from, and for what purpose, when the mission arrives, I just hope that everyone can fulfill their duties!"

"For the blue planet!"

"For humanity!"

General Liu clenched his right fist and placed it on the left side, which was the position closest to his heart. This is also one of the military salutes of the Space Force.

"For the blue planet!"

"For humanity!"

The officers below followed the recitation solemnly, and everyone in the assembly hall seemed to have sworn a sacred oath.

The process became simpler afterwards, after all, everyone had repeated the training countless times in the past training time.

The officers under the stage were divided into three teams under the leadership of the captain, and everyone walked to the designated dock in an orderly manner, where the newly formed space battleship was waiting for them.

In the team going to Dock No. 8, Yang Weili was ranked after the second mate. As the fourth officer to enter the Penglai, he had no curiosity about the interior of the simple and modern style battleship. As early as eight months of virtual reality, the details of the battleship had been thoroughly understood, and all officers were waiting for orders at their posts.

There was a huge glass in the 50-square-meter command room, under which sat the communicator, radar technician and helmsman.

The captain sat in the command chair and issued the first command: "Connect the dock viewfinder."

"Captain's order: Connect the dock viewfinder."

[System confirms the command]

[Command executed]

More than 20 images began to appear on the large glass in the command room. Yang Weili, who was waiting for the captain's order with the first and second officers, saw that the captain selected the electromagnetic track in the picture.

A steel box slowly rose on the outer ring of the Lagran Space City. This box was more than ten times larger than the box that held the Raven spacecraft. The behemoth inside was gradually revealing its hideousness.

First, a graceful streamlined bow appeared in everyone's eyes, and then as the fixing clamp of the steel box slowly moved it to the electromagnetic track, the middle part of the battleship and the thick rectangular tail slowly appeared, and the whole battleship looked like a large flat triangle.

However, this triangular battleship was 3 kilometers long from the bow to the stern, the widest tail was 2 kilometers, and the thickness reached 1 kilometer. The Penglai, equipped with three large nuclear fusion engines, can continue to sail for more than a hundred years when fully refilled with stored fuel. The built-in ecological laboratory can continuously collect meteorites in the solar system, decompose them, and then synthesize water resources and artificial food needed by humans.

Its maximum speed reaches 50% of the speed of light. In theory, this spacecraft has reached the standard of interstellar navigation. As long as it is given enough time, it can even reach Proxima Centauri.

But this huge warship only needs 100 people to rely on artificial intelligence's automated weapons to exert the strongest combat power. It is not only equipped with conventional beam weapons and kinetic weapons, but also strategic gravity bombs. Because of the difficult storage characteristics of antimatter bombs, humans can only put them in the laboratory as toys.

But it can be said that this spaceship alone can wipe out all the achievements of civilization built by humans on the blue planet.

However, the quantum computer on board the spacecraft will lock all weapon systems in the Earth-Moon system, unless authorized by Base Zero or the highest decision-making body.

Now, the floating disc like a sweeping robot floated out from the electromagnetic track and regularly attached to the triangular warship marked with '021, Penglai'. A moment later, the blue electromagnetic shield enveloped the entire warship.

All the officers on the Penglai watched this moment with bated breath, as the outer ring of the space city continued to rotate at the same time.

The fixing clamps extended from the steel box slowly loosened the restraints, and the Penglai engine, which had been ignited and waiting for this moment, ejected a dreamy blue flame. With the help of the electromagnetic track, it began to accelerate, and in a blink of an eye, the spacecraft that had already gone to the far side of the camera ejected more amazing flames.

In other shots, it was like being thrown out of the ring.

Following the footsteps of Penglai, there are two spacecraft of the same model, and their footsteps will take humans to explore the Oort Cloud outside the solar system.

From then on, the blue planet is just a corner of the vast territory of mankind.

Fly! Fly out of the Earth-Moon System.

Fly! Fly out of the solar system.
