Chapter 346： forward hope

After two days of voyage, under the **** of two-handed cruise frigates, the Xingchen successfully arrived at the spaceport in the low-Earth orbit of Mars.

Nearly 10,000 passengers on the Xingchen left the spacecraft one after another under the guidance of intelligent robots.

In the vip channel, under the guidance and **** of many staff, Li Yi, Zhou Wenhui, and Li Yanshun and his wife successfully entered the Mars Spaceport, settled in the VIP room in the ecological zone, and took a short rest. It took two or three days to let After the body adjusts to the biological clock, they will go on to land on Mars.

"Mars has become like this now, it's so beautiful." Li Yanshun exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the red and blue planet outside the window, and the metal buildings dotted the planet.

"Yeah! I used to only see the reconstruction video of Mars on TV. I didn't expect that Mars is also built so well, it's almost like the moon." Ye Huilan followed and looked at Mars and sighed.

Li Yi followed and looked at Mars and felt the same way.

However, all of this is understandable. The efficiency of artificial intelligence is black, and the main body of human civilization is Chinese. Even if the infrastructure madman enters the interstellar civilization, the efficiency of engineering construction is absolutely impeccable.

"The scenery on Mars is similar to Datong and Xiaoyi on the moon. There is a chance to explore and travel to planets outside the solar system and see alien life. That would be interesting!" Li Yi smiled and looked at his parents and suggested.

"No, no! Going to Mars is enough toss, I prefer to stay on Earth and keep my feet on the ground." Li Yanshun waved his hand to refuse without thinking.

"Yeah! I was in a spaceship and left the earth, and my heart has been uneasy. I haven't slept a day in the past few days!" Ye Huilan added.

"Dad, Mom, this situation takes time to get used to. We have been on the earth all the time, and suddenly we leave the planet we depend on. It is inevitable that psychological symptoms will appear." Zhou Wenhui explained with a smile and comforted them.

When living on Earth and viewing from a vantage point on the ground, I am 'short-sighted' for the things that matter most. When human beings enter the interstellar civilization and see the real universe from the perspective of outer space, different perspectives and psychological changes are also found. In addition to the beauty of space, the spirit will also suffer a huge impact.

It is like a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky. After climbing out of the bottom of the well, he realizes how big the sky will be.

From the perspective of space, the Earth's thin atmosphere makes it look very fragile. However, the Earth's atmosphere has protected life on Earth from the solar wind, cosmic rays and other harsh environments for hundreds of thousands of years.

Of course, human beings on earth take interstellar spaceships and sail in the boundless starry sky, and their minds will uncontrollably generate fear. Fear of the huge cosmic space, even in severe cases, will lead to psychological problems, schizophrenia, mania Depression, and other mental illnesses.

Fortunately, human civilization has entered the interstellar civilization for many years, and it is also timely to follow up on this kind of psychotherapy work. In addition, the virtual network Xinghai Era is based on the interstellar universe, and many people have rich 'interstellar' experience. Therefore, it can make a good transition from the parent star civilization to the interstellar civilization.

Even if technology like Li Yanshun and his wife have not been so developed since the previous generation, they are fortunate enough to witness and successfully enter the interstellar civilization to have these psychological problems.

"Dad, Mom, if you can't sleep at night, you can try the induced sleep mode of the dormant warehouse, which will definitely help you rest." Zhou Wenhui added.

"Okay, I'll try it later." Ye Huilan nodded with a smile.

"Yeah! It's getting late, let's go to rest! Get used to it early, get off Mars early." Li Yanshun nodded eagerly.

After speaking, Li Yanshun left the room with his wife.

Li Yi and Zhou Wenhui looked at each other and smiled similarly.

On the third day, under the **** of a group of space fighters, the small spaceship that Li Yi and the others were in set off from the spaceport and landed on Mars.

The artificial magnetic field devices at the north and south levels of Mars continue to work, and the strong magnetic field they output can firmly resist the blowing of the solar wind. Yes, the atmosphere formed on Mars can be firmly fixed on Mars and will not be blown away by the solar wind.

Now, Mars has been successfully transformed into an "artificial Earth".

The ecological environment on the surface of Mars is being created. Many algae plants transplanted from the earth have grown on the surface of Mars. Human civilization can still only survive in the sky city above Mars. The human alliance government and Xingyao Technology have always been ambitious. plans to transform Mars into a planet similar to Earth.

I want to transform Mars into a real Earth!

According to the transformation plan of the Human Alliance government and Xingyao Technology, natural environments such as forests, seas, rivers, ..., etc. will appear in different regions of Mars. These natural environments form a complete set of "carbon cycle" and "water cycle".

The huge amount of energy that the endless nuclear fusion power station can provide is used to support the stable operation of these ecosystems.

After such a long period of transformation, the forests and rivers formed by algae do exist. From the overall perspective, they are generally quite good.

Only the sea is not perfect, there are extremely scarce water resources on Mars, and it is absolutely difficult to form a sea.

Mars has a magnetic field and the protection of the atmosphere, the overall temperature has increased, and it has reached the level where liquid water can be produced. The ice that was originally frozen on Mars has gradually turned into liquid water. However, Mars passes through the solar wind into thousands of After hundreds of millions of years of blowing, the only remaining water resources on the entire planet are pitifully scarce.

Water is the source of life. To transform Mars, water must be supplied to Mars.

To this end, the alliance government has deliberately set its sights on asteroids that contain a lot of water resources, using star catchers to capture these asteroids, and then extract their ice cubes and put them on Mars.

Gradually, this kind of reclamation has obvious effects. At the same time, cities in the sky are constantly creating water sources for Mars, and one-tenth of the ground on Mars is occupied by oceans.

However, the 'artificial sea' on Mars looks lifeless, without a ripple, unlike the ocean on Earth, which has tides, wind and waves, this 'artificial sea' is a pool of stagnant water.

This is because Mars has no satellites. The human mother planet Earth, because of the satellite moon, can provide the tidal gravitational force for the earth's sea. At the same time, the gravitational force of the moon causes the earth to change the seasons.

Mars is different. Its mass is not large, and it has not been able to capture a satellite. Therefore, its "artificial sea" is still just a dead sea, and there is no change.

Above the "artificial ocean", there is a metal city floating, a huge waterfall pouring down from the metal city, bringing some limited vitality to the dead pool-like ocean.

The height of the huge waterfall is more than 500 meters, and it made a huge noise on the sea, and finally stirred the lifeless sea water. The appearance of a waterfall made the ocean come alive.

The small spaceship that Li Yi and his party took had already landed in the 'Mars City'. On the top floor of the tallest Xingyao Mars Building in the center of the city, they looked at the scenery of Mars, because the atmosphere of the fire system was still thin, and it was closer to the sun than the earth. You can clearly watch a huge orange-red sun slowly descending below the sea level. It is very magnificent and gorgeous, and it is very different from the sunset seen on the earth.

"It's beautiful to look good, but the sea water is too monotonous!" Li Yanshun said with emotion as he looked at this rare scene.

"Dad! This problem will be solved in the future. Xingyao Technology has prepared to build a moon-like satellite next to Mars to solve the problem of the rate of day and night and the change of seasons on Mars." Li Yi smiled and explained.

"How much does it cost to manufacture an artificial satellite? Why is it not rebuilt by the alliance government, but led by the company?" Li Yanshun was startled, looked at Li Yi in astonishment, and asked.

"The overall mass of Mars is only one-third of that of Earth, so the mass of artificial satellites is also about one-third of that of the moon. Using the resources of asteroids, Xingyao Technology has the ability to create a satellite for it. It is used and operated, leading this project will not lose money, and does not require the intervention of the alliance government." Li Yi smiled, made up a reason to explain, and was embarrassed to tell him that the artificial satellite of Mars is actually a stellar fortress The primary experimental version of .

"Just don't lose money! Even Mars satellites can be built, and Xingyao Technology is getting more and more powerful!" Li Yanshun said with emotion.

Li Yi smiled, where did this go! If the technologies that have been sorted out over time can be utilized, Xingyao Technology still has a long way to go in the future!

Under the sunset, the Li Yi family of four sat at a table, enjoying the sunset view of Mars, drinking red wine, and occasionally chatting about trivial matters at home. The atmosphere was extraordinarily relaxed and comfortable.

The leisurely, happy time will always pass quickly.

Li Yi, with his wife and parents, lived on Mars for three months and paid little attention to Xingyao Technology until the new generation of 'Hope' was successfully developed and received notice from Li Yang and Sun Bingwen. Take time out to pay attention to the test flight experiments of the new generation 'Hope'.

Using virtual projection technology, Li Yi virtually projected to the virtual laboratory, and watched the flight test with a group of high-level executives.

"Dad, you finally appeared! Did you guys have fun on Mars? When will you and grandpa come back?" Li Yang asked with concern as soon as he saw Li Yi's virtual projection.

"It's not that fast, we plan to visit Jupiter." Li Yi introduced with a laugh.

"Isn't it! You guys still want to go to Jupiter? What's there to see over there! Aren't grandparents afraid of flying in spaceships? What kind of ecstasy soup did you give them?" Li Yang asked with concern.

"People's hearts will change. They adapt to the vacuum environment of the universe. They are also very curious about the universe! If not, I would stop them from planning to explore the solar system." Li Yi laughed and explained.

Hearing this, Li Yang was taken aback and quickly said, "Don't! Expeditions outside the department are very dangerous now, with a 35% crash rate."

"Huh? So high?" Li Yi was slightly surprised, he didn't notice this question.

"Yes! Because the distance between the galaxies is too far, the sailing speed of the expedition spacecraft is generally not good. At the same time, the interstellar spacecraft has been flying at sub-light speed for a long time, overloaded, metal fatigue, and other reasons, resulting in the failure of the interstellar spacecraft, Once a major failure occurs, the entire spacecraft will not be able to return, and many expedition spacecraft will go back and forth like this." Li Yang introduced in detail.

"Yes, even though we have already learned their location, due to the long distance, the rescue process takes a lot of time, resulting in a generally low rescue rate, resulting in a high crash rate for expeditions outside the department." Sun Bingwen added.

Li Yi nodded, and probably understood what was going on. The current maximum speed of human interstellar spaceships can reach 70% of the speed of light. However, this is the maximum speed of spaceships, and long-term voyages must not be able to fly at this speed all the time.

However, the nearest galaxy to the solar system is also 4.2 light-years away. Once something goes wrong with the expedition ship outside the system, for the expedition ship, in addition to self-rescue, the fleet rescue of the Human Alliance will definitely not arrive in time.

"Well now, if this test flight experiment can be successful, the curvature engine spacecraft can be developed, and it will become easier to rescue these wrecked expedition ships in the future Li Yang turned his head and looked at the hologram in front of the podium. Big screen, said excitedly.

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled bitterly. Once the research on the curvature spacecraft is successful and rescue can be launched in time, these expedition ships will definitely be more daring to explore galaxies outside the outer solar system. It is only a matter of time before they encounter more alien civilizations. .

However, a Thales civilization has been discovered, and the technological level of this civilization is still unknown. Advanced technology must be utilized as soon as possible, and it cannot continue to be hidden.

The only way to send it is to completely control the curvature spacecraft and wormhole spacecraft for military control. Do not use these advanced spacecraft to explore outside the system.

Just as Li Yi was distracted, the preparations for the test flight experiment of the new generation of 'Hope' had been completed.

"Commander, the inspection of the Hope is normal, and the preparations for the test flight are ready." The operator looked at Li Yang and reported.

"Okay! Start the test flight!" Li Yang nodded happily, looking at the 'Hope' on the holographic screen and ordered.

As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the originally relaxed virtual command room immediately became tense.

Before, the test flight of the 'Hope' failed once. Will the improved Hope be successful this time?

Everyone's eyes focused on the holographic screen, and with the operator's operating instructions, the 'Hope' on the screen began to accelerate.

"Hope's current speed is 3000 kilometers per second, the curvature gravitational field is activated, the current degree of curvature: level 1.8, ..."

"Hope is running normally, the current speed is 10,000 kilometers per second, the curvature gravitational field is activated, the current degree of curvature: level 3.5, ..."

...

The operator's solemn voice echoed in the virtual laboratory, reporting the Hope's flight data again and again, just like its name, everyone's eyes were full of hope.
