The Name of the Rose [Interstellar]

The cockpit is for one person, and there is no co-seat, so he can't squeeze together with Qi Lian.

The "lover"'s mechanical hand held him carefully.Xue Yuan thought of an old saying for no reason: Hold it in your hand for fear of being hit, but hold it in your mouth for fear of melting.

uh... in your mouth...

The pictures of certain characters appear in the mind at an extremely inappropriate time.

...At this moment, what am I thinking? !囧rz|||

Xue Yuan quickly shook his head, temporarily driving them away.

Four million kilometers away, the lightspeed spacecraft Rosetta is still on its way to orbit Saturn.It has just accelerated to 400% of the speed of light, and it will take nearly forty hours to reach the Saturn-orbiting spaceport 5.00 billion kilometers away.

In order to return to the fleet and prevent the blind mass evacuation of humans, Joey requisitioned an escape spaceship on the spaceship.While talking with Xue Yuan, he was preparing to leave the "Rosetta".

Radio waves travel at the speed of light, and the call between Joey and Xue Yuan has a delay of 13.3 seconds.By the time he heard the noise on the other end of the phone asking what happened, the communication had been cut off.

At this time, the escape boat had started the separation procedure, and due to inertia, it remained relatively still with the "Rosetta" spacecraft.

Suddenly, Joey noticed that the "Rosetta" started to speed up suddenly, leaving the escape boat behind almost in a blink of an eye.

Joey realized immediately: there was a situation.

In terms of human beings' conventional energy and engine efficiency, 5% of the speed of light is already the limit.It would be extremely difficult to speed up even a little bit on this basis.But the current propulsion power of the "Rosetta" is obviously abnormally excessive, which is clearly to activate the curvature engine to enter the rhythm of light speed.

What made him even more astonished was that the nuclear fusion wake was still aligned with the direction it came from, and there was no sign of correcting the course at all.

It took only a second for Joey to understand what the "Rosetta" wanted to do: it was going to enter the speed of light, and it was not going to turn around, heading for the sun.

Even if he is not a physicist, Joey knows very well that it is absolutely impossible for an object with infinite mass to hit the core of the sun at the speed of light, and there will be no happy results.

He changed the return plan without hesitation, increased the speed of the escape boat to the maximum, and went straight to catch up with the "Rosetta".While its curvature engine has not yet started, it can still catch up.

With the advantages of small mass and good maneuverability, the escape boat can barely stick to the heat dissipation pipe of the "Rosetta".

Joey checked the air pressure valve of the oxygen mask of the space suit to make sure that it would not fall off due to strenuous exercise, then unfastened the safety belt and opened the top cover of the escape boat.

Due to the "tube vision" phenomenon caused by acceleration overload, his field of vision is very narrow, and the starlight of the entire universe rushes towards him like a runaway train.Although it was a vacuum, he seemed to hear the howling and howling of the wind in his ears.He doesn't know how fast the current speed is, but even if it is only 5% of the speed of light, it is 1.5 kilometers per second, which is almost equivalent to [-] times that of a rifle bullet.At this speed, a tiny particle of cosmic dust could easily knock him through, and he could only pray that he would not be so unlucky.

It takes courage to jump.Joey took a few deep breaths in the mask, and suddenly he was full of resentment: Grandma is a bear, you don't want to be a hero anymore, okay!Those heroes in Hollywood movies just jump out of a plane or something, what evil did I do to jump into a light-speed spaceship!

There is no time to hesitate.Joey turned on the booster jet on the back of the spacesuit, aligned the direction of the airflow at [-] degrees to the track of the "Rosetta", bent his legs and kicked on the surface of the escape boat.Like an arrow off the string, it accurately "shot" itself into the exit of Rosetta's cooling pipe.

The spacesuit is thermally insulated and has previously been tested in temperatures of nearly 400 degrees Celsius on the surface of Venus.When the nuclear fusion engine is running, although the internal temperature is as high as several thousand degrees Celsius, it is only over [-] degrees after being cooled when it is discharged from the heat dissipation pipe, and the spacesuit can withstand it.

After climbing a few hundred meters, Joey entered the engine room of the "Rosetta" through the exit on the other side of the pipeline.

On the ground, the first thing is to strip clothes.The inside of the space suit was already as hot as a whining kettle, his whole body was drenched in sweat, and the top of his head was almost steaming.

Inlaid on the metal wall were plans of the spaceship's compartments, and the engine room was not too far from the central control room.Once there, there is a way to turn off the program that starts the curvature engine.

Rosetta is still accelerating.Joey was struggling to move under the overload of several Gs, and his body became several times heavier as if it was filled with lead.Every step takes a huge effort, and the overwhelmed lumbar spine seems to be broken at any time in the next second.

The door of the control room was ajar, and a figure was already inside.

Joey pulled out a particle pistol hidden in the inner pocket of his coat.This kind of gun is a bit similar to the Colt revolver of the earth age. It is a kind of police|hand|pistol. The stopping power is greater than the lethality, and it is used for self-defense.

Holding the gun in both hands, he quietly pushed the safety catch on the side of the handle with his right thumb, and jumped into the cabin.

There was only one person inside, wearing the uniform of the technical department, standing with his back to the door.He didn't seem to care about the sound behind him at all.

Was this the person who started the program?

"Don't move." Joey said in a deep voice, "raise your hand and put it where I can see it."

The other party raised his hands obediently, and turned around in an unhurried manner: "Since this is the case, there is no other way."

Seeing the other person's face clearly, Joey couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes: "It's you?"

"Yes, it's me. Surprised to see me here, isn't it?" The other party was still unhurried, slightly turning his head to look at the gun in Joey's hand, as if it was just a plastic toy.

"Stay where you are!" Joey snapped.The other party raised his hands again, and smiled to indicate that he had no intention of making any moves.

"What are you doing here?" Joey asked.

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

In order to prevent someone from using the light-speed spacecraft to escape privately, the technology department blocked the driver of the curvature engine, and it must pass the "password verification module" on the flagship of the corresponding region to start.On the operating system of the spacecraft, there is only a "stop running" module.

That is to say, the people on the spaceship cannot make the spaceship enter the speed of light, but they can make the spaceship go out of the speed of light.

The other party will not be the person who starts the program, so the purpose is probably to destroy the "stop running" module, preventing the spacecraft from leaving the speed of light.

The other party seemed to see through what he was thinking, and showed a "that's what you think" expression.

"You...why did you do this?" Even after seeing it with his own eyes, Joey still couldn't believe it.The guy in front of him was so different from his usual impression that he didn't look like the same person at all.

"Well, why? This is indeed a problem." The other party thought about it seriously, and a sly light flashed in his eyes.

The look was very familiar, and Joey couldn't help but think of another person who was 400 million kilometers away at this time.

Inside the Zeus.

Xue Yuan bowed his body like a cat, pointing his toes, and silently skimmed up to a high platform where equipment was stored.The gravity is now about 0.8G, and he can jump farther than usual.

Qi Lian also jumped up afterward, his movements were more agile than Xue Yuan's.

It is still uncertain how many hidden opponents there are on the "Zeus".Being able to turn off the power supply field means that the other party has controlled the central computer and needs to think of a tactic.

The arctic fox is a very efficient animal.When preying on lemmings on thick ice sheets, it often adopts a nest method: after finding the lemming's nest, it jumps up and collapses the ice layer with its own weight, so that none of the lemmings in the nest can escape .

Many human attack methods are learned from animals in nature.Xue Yuan liked the efficient hunting method of the arctic fox very much, and trained it deliberately, which became his trump card.In every field exercise in the past, he often used this trick to make his team win by surprise.

Since entering space, he has not had combat experience for a long time. He sits on duty every day and becomes a civilian until today.

He felt that the wild factor in his blood began to burn restlessly.
