Start a Base

Ren Xiao's face was flushed, and the Discovery spacecraft represented the highest acceleration among human aircraft.

In the first few minutes, with his physical strength of a sixth-level peak evolutionary, he was pressed on the seat and was unable to move.

Speed ​​and strength can best stimulate adrenaline in men.

Although I am a little used to the acceleration now, it still feels very exciting.

The spaceship he was in was now under the unified control of the fleet flagship, and Ren Xiao looked around with nothing to do.

Observe the environment outside the take-off ship through the real-time images synthesized by the external camera.

Surrounded by eternal darkness, the other warships in the fleet could not be seen at all. Although they belonged to the same team, they were at least a hundred kilometers away from each other.

The blue planet behind him is getting farther and farther away. At this time, it is only slightly larger than standing on the Saturn star and looking at the moon.

When I didn't leave, I was focused on exploring unknown areas, but now I have left, and I have inseparable feelings.

The mother planet is the cradle of civilization and the hotbed of life.

Leaving the home planet, he was soon invaded by the cold and lonely environment, and felt a sense of danger.

The dark universe is like a giant beast, ready to devour Little Red Riding Hood who dares to go out of the house at any time.

Ren Xiao sighed for a moment, forcing himself to break away from the negative emotions.

Looking at it again, the starlight in front emits a faint blue, which is a common phenomenon in the universe. When the distance between the object and the light source is shortened, a blue shift phenomenon will occur.

Looking back, the starlight at the tail of the spacecraft is glowing red, which means that the distance between the light source and the light source behind it is increasing, resulting in a red shift.

The ultra-high speed of tens of kilometers per second, in the universe, is no different from standing still, except for the vibration caused by the acceleration of the engine, there is no feeling at all.

Only by relying on blue shift and red shift can we know that we are indeed moving at high speed.

The fleet will broadcast the current speed situation every once in a while.

Two hours later—

Current speed, 150 km/h, turn off the engine and enter the inertial cruise state.

Ren Xiao exhaled, and quickly checked the fuel situation. The panel showed that the spaceship's fuel reserves were 86% remaining.

Damn it! You've used up so much with just one acceleration? Ren Xiao was shocked. He seriously suspected that his fuel had been stolen by the flagship.

You must know that a powerful nuclear fusion reactor can provide a huge amount of energy. If the fuel reserve carried by a spaceship is converted into electrical energy, it is enough to consume a large city for decades.

But when it is used for the acceleration of interstellar navigation, it consumes so much at one time! In the event of another war, excluding the consumption of weapons, the energy will be even more tense.

Of course, in exchange for such a huge energy consumption, the highest speed in human history is 150 kilometers per second, and the speed is 540,000 kilometers per hour!

At this time, the orbit of Mars is 110 million kilometers away from Saturn, neither the farthest nor the closest.

If the pre-apocalyptic Mars probes were to fly this distance, it would take at least half a year, but now, the explorer fleet only needs 8 days to arrive.

This is the huge change brought about by technological progress.

After accepting this reality with difficulty, Ren Xiao gradually calmed down. This is just the beginning. As much energy is consumed by acceleration, the same amount of energy will be consumed by deceleration after arriving at the destination.

It takes 28% of the energy to accelerate and decelerate in one way. In this way, when the fuel is full, it can only complete 3 times of acceleration and deceleration. This is why the spacecraft accelerates to 150 kilometers per second. Just the reason to stop.

It's not that you can't fly faster, but that the fuel consumption is too high. If there is not enough to slow down, the fleet will rush out of the solar system and never return to Saturn.

Ren Xiao kept muttering, so little fuel, how can he waste it?

As everyone knows, the Mars probe before the end of the world is not only small in size, but also the energy it carries is only one-way, and it is impossible to return.

It can be said that every penny has to be calculated and used, and there is no wealth at all.

Unlike now, the fuel reserve can make more than one round trip.

At this time, looking back at the Saturn moon, it is only the size of a fist, and it will soon disappear among the stars and become a spot of light.

If you don't go out of your home planet, you will never feel the vastness of the universe, and you will never realize that the entire civilization is very small.

For humans, this is an unprecedented feat, but from the perspective of the star system, this behavior of humans is equivalent to walking out of the house, across the courtyard, and onto the street.

If viewed from the perspective of Orion's cantilever, this behavior of human beings does not even count as the distance from the living room to the bathroom.

But at this time, the communication between the fleet and Saturn has begun to experience delays.

The photonic communication system newly researched by the Doom Empire can reach a propagation speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, which is already the highest conventional speed in the universe.

However, Mars is 110 million kilometers away from Saturn at this time. After arriving at Mars, there will be a delay of more than 6 minutes in communication with Saturn.

 …

The itinerary of the explorer fleet still needs 8 days. Li Yunpeng turned his eyes away when the fleet entered the cruising stage.

We have already taken the first step, and the follow-up work must keep up. When will the second batch of cargo spacecraft depart, the Academy of Sciences will control it by itself.

yes!

After the explanation, Li Yunpeng walked out of the command hall with irrelevant personnel. The next work of the Imperial Academy of Sciences was very heavy.

There are not only newly opened Mars exploration missions, but also a series of new technology mass production plans that Li Yunpeng explained before.

It is worth mentioning that the microbial production line used to degrade nuclear radiation has basically been laid.

The End Yang Empire will use the plan of continuous spraying by the suspended platform to carry out sterilization and disinfection for the parent star.

The specific principle is similar to the offshore drilling platform before the end of the world, except that the suspended platform is larger. After the nuclear fusion engine is installed, it will hover over the end of Yang Empire for a long time, continuously spraying microbial agents, and with the help of the atmospheric circulation system, Delivered to all parts of the world to eliminate nuclear radiation.

It is urgent to eliminate the nuclear radiation. Li Yunpeng did not intend to take this opportunity to grab a piece of wool from other forces. The reason is that the Moyang Empire is now powerful, and there is no need to waste time on that benefit.

Before that, Li Yunpeng also had a lot of work. Now the territory of the Moyang Empire is unprecedentedly vast, and it fully controls all the land and sea in the Eastern Hemisphere.

The next homeland defense plan also needs to be formulated as soon as possible.

So Li Yunpeng, who left the Imperial Academy of Sciences, led people straight to the administrative center.

On the way, I saw Li Ying hurriedly approaching.

Report to my lord, the Military Intelligence Bureau has caught many spies recently!

Li Yunpeng was taken aback, everyone knew the strength of the Military Intelligence Bureau, who would dare to send spies to Moyang City so discreetly?
