Black Technology: Starting From the Space Jumping Machine - Chapter 184

  Chapter 184 Today’s Blue Star Part 3

The Raven series of spaceships are specially used to transport materials back and forth between the Earth-Moon system, transport high-tech industrial materials and intelligent robots from the Earth to the Moon and Lagrange points, and transport Helium-3 and rare earth from the Moon to the Earth And all kinds of rare minerals that have been preliminarily processed. And the Lagrangian point is completely an export window, because of the threat of the unknown fleet, this situation will last for a long time.

The Raven 005 spacecraft where Yang Weili and the others are in has nearly 70% of the 300-meter-long space used for loading supplies. If there are few passengers, the space in the passenger compartment will be compressed to make more space for the cargo compartment. storage location.

“This kind of black-hearted spaceship will be eliminated within twenty years!” Bona said angrily to someone beside him, “Just now I went to apply for permission to look at the external armor of this ship. You actually told me that it was dismantled after it was installed! This means that we are flying in space on a streaking spaceship!”

  At the beginning of the 21st century, manned spacecraft did not have any external armor at all, and there are no accidents in the current spacecraft that rely solely on high-strength materials to navigate in the universe. I even think that judging from the data collected by the current first-generation Raven spacecraft, the design institute’s second-generation Raven spacecraft will further reduce the protection methods to increase the transportation capacity.

   It’s just that Yang Weili was too lazy to talk to Bona, so he sat in his seat and called up the exterior camera of the spacecraft.

  At this time, the spacecraft has slowed down and entered the orbit of the Lagrangian point space city. The technological miracle that was built overnight has become even larger. Of course, the main materials no longer need to overcome the gravity of the blue star, and are laboriously exported from the blue star.

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, with a permanent population of 130,000. It is the most important intelligent and automated industrial base for mankind and the largest spacecraft construction. dock.

  The gravitational force of the moon is only one-sixth of that of the earth, and the energy consumed by the transport spacecraft to get rid of gravity is less than that on the blue star.

A large amount of materials exported from the moon will be used to build the frame of the spacecraft. Some high-end devices can only come from Blue Star’s research institute. Now they arrive at LaGrand Space City with the Raven spacecraft to complete the final Assemble.

  In front of the huge double-ring structure that is constantly rotating, the inner and outer double rings are constantly rotating to provide the centripetal force that simulates the gravity environment inside.

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

The footage from the external camera—hundreds of 21st-century-like sweepers were suspended from the moon and evenly attached to the hull of the spacecraft, and then formed a connection with each other to coat the Raven spacecraft with a blue electromagnetic shield , and then the spacecraft smoothly entered the electromagnetic speed bump of the outer ring.

   The Raven spacecraft that had decelerated was guided into a huge steel box in front of the outer ring electromagnetic track in the electromagnetic field. There was a slight vibration as the anchors in the box were being connected to the spacecraft. After the fixation was completed, the steel box slowly descended, and in a blink of an eye, only the flat tarmac and eight straight electromagnetic tracks were left on the surface of the outer ring, quietly flashing green lights of the frequency.

  【Raven 005 spaceship has docked at Space City No. 1 Dock, this journey is over. Passengers, please bring your own belongings. The goods in the cargo compartment will be delivered to the warehouse designated by the passengers after completing the quarantine within 24 hours. 】

  Because of the simulated gravity, and because they were trained in the space elevator before, the officers quickly left the spaceship after finishing their instruments this time and queued up for quarantine outside.

  【Mr. Yang Weili, a citizen of Huaguo, the quarantine is complete, and you are allowed to pass! 】

  【Friendly reminder, your current blood sugar is low. It is recommended to supplement energy with food as soon as possible. 】

  Yang Weili just came out of the rapid quarantine booth when a female bionic robot whose head and torso looked no different from human appearance handed him a glass of transparent liquid. The only difference between this bionic person and a human being is that a clearly visible metal structure and blood vessel-like data lines can be seen on the neck.

   Looks like an android from a game.

  【This is glucose water, the temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. Sir please take it easy. 】

“thanks.”

  Yang Weili’s low-pitched thanks were exchanged for the sweet smile of the female bionic man, and after bowing slightly to him, he returned to the reception table and stood by.

“Is the current intelligent program so powerful?” After Yang Weili walked out of the quarantine booth, Bona sighed and said, “I heard that artificial wombs have been popularized in qualified hospitals, maybe children in the future will be born by robots! “

   “Then if you find enough eggs in the future, you can have as many babies as you want with the robot!”

   “That won’t work! My parents are traditional Texans, and the red necks in the United States know it? If I let a robot give birth to me, I’m afraid I won’t even be allowed to go to church in my hometown!”

“Hehehe, but let me tell you secretly, Building 6, 169th Street, Space City Industrial Base is a good place! The bionic people inside are no different from real people. No, no, no! They are more beautiful than real people! We have Two hours of rest time, or.”

  Yang Weili shook his head, quickened his pace and moved away from this guy with a brain on his brain.

  After all the officers assembled in the dock hall, the officer gave them two hours to rest. After that, they regrouped at the dock and began to perform three-year military exercises.

   Rejecting Bona’s invitation to go to the “good place” together, Yang Weili took a self-driving 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 about 400 square kilometers, and it is still expanding. The industrial base is divided into large modules such as industrial module, dock module and living area module. 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 to facilitate security control.

  The living area is the most comfortable area among all the large modules. The early collective dormitory was transformed into this area with the continuous expansion of the industrial base. The blue sky on the earth is projected on the high ceiling in the living area. Not only real people are running shops on the tidy streets, but you can even see real green grass and green trees, but these precious plants are hung with no-touch and A bright red warning against trampling.

  Yang Weili walked skillfully through the tidy commercial street, and found a noodle shop that he often visited in a certain alley: “Boss, three taels of spicy snail noodles and fruit!”

The familiar boss watched the live broadcast on Blue Star early, and joked to Yang Weili: “Hey, isn’t this our human hero—Major Yang? Come and taste the taste of hometown at the last moment before departure.” ?”

  Different from industrial areas where most of the labor is replaced by bionics and robots, most of the shops in the living area are run by natural person owners. This makes Yang Weili feel more intimate than many metropolises on Blue Star that are completely entrusted to the labor services of bionics. However, most of the 130,000 people are performing refined operations 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 bit deserted.

   “Isn’t that right? I’ll be craving this powder for the rest of my life!”

   “Okay, make a special filling of snail noodles for our hero, and don’t forget to take care of my little shop in the future!”

  Smelling the unique smell of the freshly made snail noodles, Yang Weili couldn’t help moving his index finger. As soon as he moved his chopsticks, he said in surprise: “Huh, there are sour bamboo shoots?”

  Sour bamboo shoots are fermented foods, and will be judged as spoiled foods when passing the security inspection. According to the management regulations of the industrial base, they are not allowed to enter the food.

   “Shhh, keep your voice down. This is a real product that I entrusted an old friend to get in from the laboratory channel. If it weren’t for the fact that your old customer is about to leave for so long, I wouldn’t be willing to take it out!”

   “Thank you, boss!” Yang Weili quickly took a bite and sighed in satisfaction: “Sure enough, the snail noodles must be added with sour bamboo shoots to have a soul!”

  After serving the food to Yang Weili, the boss did not disturb him to enjoy the food. A person sat on the cooking table and watched the news on the holographic projection.

  【Industrial Daily disclosed that the total output value of D31 steel in Industrial Zone 1 last year was 2.35 million tons, and that of titanium carbon fiber was 3.69 million tons】

  The boss muttered in a low voice: “What are these guys doing? The production has been unable to increase for three consecutive years! Do you want my old bone to come back to the front line?”

   The time to enjoy delicious food always passed quickly, and Yang Weili cleaned up a large bowl of noodles in a blink of an eye, and there was not even soup left.

   “Are you full?”

“Um.”

   “Then work hard, great heroes of mankind! We will rely on you guys to continue to develop the solar system!”

   “Boss, it looks like you are going to flatter us! You guys are the cornerstone of the space industry base. If you hadn’t built the city overnight, our so-called space army wouldn’t even have a base1”

   “The past! The future is yours!”

   Yang Weili left the shop after exchanging business with the boss who was a senior engineer who came to set up a stall in his spare time and made a taste of his hometown. After walking along the commercial street and visiting a few familiar store managers, more than half of the two-hour rest time has passed.

  He stood in front of the small module in this business district and looked back at these store managers. They all contributed almost all their energy to this space base for ten years. When he retires, he still thinks about it, for fear that the young engineer will make some mistakes, so he waits here and is ready to be on the front line again at any time.

  They are the heroes of mankind, the heroes who can take the first step to explore the universe steadily! Yang Weili gave a military salute silently, and stood for a long time before getting on the unmanned hover car heading to the dock area.

   “Everyone has it!”

The Chinese-faced officer waited for all the officers to finish their counting, and then began to speak: “I am the commander-in-chief of this military exercise, Major General Liu. I believe that there are none of the officers in the audience who don’t know me? Because those who don’t know me should now They are all in the gendarmerie!”

   There was laughter in the queue, but it quickly calmed down again.

   “Since you are already standing here, it means that you already understand what threats humans will face, so…”

  “No matter what color or race, no matter which country they come from, and for what purpose, when the mission comes, I only hope that everyone can fulfill their responsibilities!”

   “For Blue Star!”

   “For humanity!”

  General Liu clenched his right hand and put his fist on the left, which is the closest to his heart. This is also one of the military salutes of the Space Force.

   “For Blue Star!”

   “For humanity!”

  The officers below solemnly read out, and everyone in the assembly hall seemed to have taken a sacred oath.

  The process after that becomes easier, after all, everyone has repeated training countless times in the past training time.

  The officers in the audience 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 the No. 8 dock, Yang Weili was ranked behind the second officer. As the fourth officer to enter the Penglai, he had no sense of curiosity about the simple and modern style of the interior of the warship. As early as eight months in virtual reality, the details of the battleship have been figured out, and all officers are performing their duties and waiting for orders at their posts.

  In the 50-square-meter command room, there is a huge glass, under which sit the communicator, radar technician and helmsman.

  The captain sat on the command chair and issued the first instruction: “Connect the dock viewfinder.”

   “Captain’s order: connect dock viewfinder.”

  【System confirmation command】

  【Complete command execution】

  More than 20 images began to be displayed on the large glass in the command room. Yang Weili, who was waiting for the captain’s order with the first officer and second officer, saw that the captain chose the field of view on the electromagnetic orbit in the screen.

  I saw a steel box slowly rising from the outer ring of LaGrand Space City. This box is more than ten times larger than the box containing the Raven spaceship.

First, a beautifully streamlined bow appeared in the eyes of everyone, and then slowly moved it to the electromagnetic track with the fixing clamps of the steel box, the middle part and the thick rectangular tail of the later generation of the battleship were slowly revealed, and the whole battleship looked It looks like a big flat triangle.

   It’s just that this triangular battleship is 3 kilometers long from the bow to the stern, the widest tail is 2 kilometers long, and the thickness reaches 1 kilometer. The Penglai, which is equipped with three large nuclear fusion engines, can continue to sail for more than a hundred years when it is replenished with stored fuel. The built-in ecological laboratory can continuously collect meteorites in the solar system, decompose them and then synthesize the water resources needed by human beings. and artificial foods.

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

  But this huge battleship only needs 100 people to rely on artificial intelligence automatic weapons to exert the strongest combat effectiveness. It is not only equipped with conventional beam weapons and kinetic energy weapons, but also strategic gravity bombs. Because antimatter bombs are difficult to store, humans can only put it in the laboratory as a toy.

  But it can be said that this spaceship alone can erase all the achievements of civilization established by humans on the blue star.

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

  Now, like the floating disk of a sweeping robot, it floats out of the electromagnetic track, and is regularly attached to the triangular battleship marked ‘021, Penglai’. A moment later, the blue electromagnetic shield enveloped the entire battleship.

  All the officers on the Penglai watched this moment with bated breath, and the outer ring of the space city was constantly rotating at the same time.

  The fixed clamp protruding from the steel box slowly loosened its restraint, and the engine of Penglai, which had been ignited and waiting for this moment, sprayed out dreamy blue flames. With the help of the electromagnetic orbit, it began to accelerate, and in a blink of an eye, the spaceship that had gone to the distance of the camera ejected more amazing flames.

  In other shots, it’s like being thrown from a ring.

  Following in the footsteps of Penglai are two spacecraft of the same model, and their footsteps will lead humans to explore the Oort Nebula beyond the solar system.

  From now on, Blue Star is not just a corner of the huge territory of human beings.

  Fly! Fly out of the earth-moon system.

  Fly! Fly out of the solar system.
