fleet citizen

Mint held the piece of fudge in his mouth, and the tingling electric current made him feel a little strange at first, but after a while he found it quite interesting.When the voltage of the soft candy gradually decreased, he was about to chew and swallow the candy, but suddenly felt empty under his feet.

"Ah!!!!" Mint cried out in fright, hugged Yuan Yu's waist tightly and buried her head in her arms.

At this moment, he really felt that the ground of the spaceship did not give him any support, completely weightless, Mint really felt that he was falling downward without resistance, this feeling swallowed all his courage like a black hole.At this moment, he could only hold onto Yuan Yu's clothes tightly, praying that the feeling of falling would disappear soon.

However, Mint soon felt that the ground's support for him was gradually increasing, and finally maintained at around the normal 1G gravity.He felt Yuan Yu's hand pat him on the shoulder, and couldn't help feeling a little shy that Yuan Yu was probably holding back a smile when he saw him get into her arms in fright.

Mint let go of Yuan Yu's waist, took a step back with a blushing face, and asked with a sigh of relief, "Now it's falling at a constant speed?"

He has not forgotten the knowledge taught in physics class, that people can still feel the gravity of 1G when moving at a uniform speed in the gravitational field.

However, Yuan Yu's answer was beyond his expectation: "Of course not, we are accelerating toward the center of the earth at an acceleration of about 2G."

"How come?" Mint was surprised, and then understood, accelerating in the direction of gravity with twice the gravity, for the people in the spaceship, the feeling is double the gravity, but it is opposite to the normal direction.Then he was horrified to find that they were speeding towards the ground with their heads facing "down"? !

"Oh my God!" This realization made Mint feel even more panicked, and she couldn't help but grabbed Yuan Yu's hand and said in horror, "Stop it—let me go out! No, let me go back to the ground!"

"Don't be afraid, my little cutie." Yuan Yu stroked his back comfortingly, and thoughtfully pulled up the shoulder straps of his long skirt that fell off due to the panic just now, "Do you see that this is not the same as standing on the ground?" What a difference in feeling."

Mint realized what her hands were doing, and hurriedly took a wrong step to the side to quickly arrange the damn long off-shoulder dress, then raised her head and gave her another white look.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that your skirt will fall off." Yuan Yu raised her hand and said innocently, "Although no one else will see it here, if the skirt falls off as you walk, I think you will definitely would be embarrassed."

This is not just an embarrassing question at all!Mint immediately flushed with embarrassment, thinking that she must have done it on purpose, either to tease him, or - to tease him.However, for some reason, after realizing that Yuan Yu wanted to tease him, Mint felt a little happy in his heart.

However, just as he was wondering whether he should resist her teasing, or go along and see what would happen, the "wall" behind him suddenly slid to the sides, revealing a large space in the cabin.

Yuan Yu walked out of the two-meter-square cabin, walked into the real cabin, and said, "Just now, it was a rotating room, which was used to adapt to acceleration and changes in the direction of gravity. When it first fell into the tunnel, it was in a state of weightlessness. Turn around for a while, but I think you are only concerned about fear, and you probably don't feel it."

Mint walked out of the revolving room in surprise and entered this rather spacious cabin space.

The cabin of the "Crow" is an ellipsoid shape with both ends flattened. At this time, since the direction of gravity is along the long axis of the ellipsoid, it looks like a room with a very high vaulted ceiling, except for a few cabinets on the wall. There is nothing but the same thing, it seems empty.

Yuan Yu awakened the control system of the cabin, and a holographic projection panel appeared in the air. She clicked a few times on the virtual panel, and all the cabinet doors on the cabin wall opened, and some furniture protruded from the cabinet and was fixed. on the wall.Then two tiers of partitions protruded from above their heads, and a staircase hung down the wall.

"This is the cabin layout of the long-axis gravity mode." Yuan Yu introduced, "It is divided into upper, middle and lower floors. The upper floor is the spacecraft control room and the bedroom-in case there is an emergency while sleeping, you can quickly Enter the manual driving state. The middle floor is the lounge, and the lower floor is the studio."

Mint looked curiously at the studio they were in.There is a workbench in the center, and beside it are various unknown materials and tools in transparent boxes, as well as many instruments that he does not know what they are.

"'Crow' has an intelligent housekeeping system that can help you tidy up your things." Yuan Yu sighed, "This system was designed by a friend of mine before. I have to say that it has helped me a lot."

"You usually live here?" Mint asked curiously.The cabin of this spaceship looks like a slightly simpler house, which is probably enough for one person to meet all the needs of work and life.

"Of course not." Yuan Yu couldn't help laughing, "Don't think that the citizens of the fleet have to live in spaceships every day. We are all normal people and have to live in open places, such as the living area of ​​the space station. The spaceship is a means of transportation. "

"However, interstellar travel...will take a long time?" Mint asked with some uncertainty.

"No," Yuan Yu replied, "As long as it doesn't involve taking off and landing on the colonized planet, it will usually be resolved within a few hours."

"Then why do you need to set up a studio?" Mint asked strangely.

Yuan Yu looked at him, hesitated for a few seconds before answering: "This is more troublesome to explain, so I will explain it briefly. In fact, I did not design this spaceship for myself as a curvature drive scientist, but for It is suitable for the professional needs of interstellar explorers and can support long-term interstellar travel. However, for some reason, this spaceship fell into my own hands."

"It fell into my own hands"?Mint couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that the spaceship designed by a powerful curvature drive scientist would sometimes fall into his hands.

"However, there is no harm in having a studio. You can also make some small things to pass the time." Yuan Yu said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go up."

Mint followed Yuan Yu, along the stairs protruding from the wall to the lounge on the second floor.

The lounge looks like the living room of an ordinary person's home, with a sofa that looks very soft and comfortable, and a high-definition holographic screen on the opposite side, with an independent host and a wristband that can also be connected.There is a very large refrigerator on one side, and a multi-functional fitness machine on the other side, which is now in the form of a treadmill, so that people will not lack exercise during long-term travel.And those walls are the kind of liquid crystal material Yuan Yu mentioned before, which can change the light transmittance by changing the current, so that they can be used as windows.It's just that there's probably no power to the wall right now, so it's just a black patch.

Yuan Yu took two cups from the cabinet on the wall, opened the refrigerator, took two cups of purple-red drinks from a large jar inside, and handed a cup to Mint: "I don't know what kind of messy mixed juice it is, you can drink it Bar."

The peppermint took it and smelled it. It smelled unexpectedly fragrant. After taking another sip, I found that although I couldn't really taste what it was, it was unexpectedly delicious.

Yuan Yu clicked on the control panel of the holographic projection, and the surrounding walls changed from black to a dynamic background of blue sky and white clouds, and then she slid the holographic projection panel in front of Mint: "Come on, my cute Mint, let's see How was the movie?"
