In the starry sky and the universe, the 'Houyi' is sailing at a terrifying speed of 120 times the speed of sound at this moment.
However, even at such a terrifying speed, in the vast universe, it is still like stepping on a small point. No matter you look at it from any direction, it seems to be stationary in the void of the universe.
Only the regularly flashing lights on the spacecraft tell you that it is not a dead thing.
"The universe is so vast!"
"We humans on Earth still have a long way to go."
Liu Yuan looked at the scenery outside the window and fell into endless thoughts.
This time, there was actually no need for Liu Yuan to come because there were astronauts, scientists, and engineers busy in all aspects, and he was just an idler.
Moreover, it takes a lot of risks. If something goes wrong with the Hou Yi, I can’t imagine the consequences.
But Liu Yuan still insisted on coming and accompanied Houyi to the moon.
For no other reason than to experience the vastness of the starry sky and universe.
Among the inherited seeds, the seeds always told Liu Yuan about the vastness of the universe and the vastness of the universe. But on earth, Liu Yuan has no personal experience and feelings. You can't imagine the vastness of the universe at all.
Only when you are truly in the void of the universe can you have an idea of the vastness of the universe. Just like at this moment, when the Houyi is flying between the earth and the moon at 120 times the speed of sound, you even
Yudu feels that it is suspended in the void universe, and you can't feel any changes.
Only when you look at the moon every half hour, you will find that the moon is getting bigger and bigger. When you look back at the earth behind you, it gradually gets smaller, emitting dazzling fluorescence.
The astronauts, scientists, and engineers on the spacecraft are already sleeping and resting. After arriving on the moon, they will be greeted by busy work.
So they must seize the time and sleep well for more than an hour now, so that they can maintain strong energy after reaching the moon.
Sleeping in a weightless environment is not an easy or relaxing thing. People who enter space for the first time often find it difficult to fall asleep quickly because they are not accustomed to this environment.
However, the astronauts, scientists and engineers who went to the moon this time all had some training in advance and were able to fall asleep quickly.
Some of the astronauts, scientists and engineers will stay on the moon to carry out resource exploration, scientific experiments, construction of the lunar palace base, etc., until one month later, Xinghai Technology will send another group of people up to replace them.
In the future, Xinghai Technology plans to send a spacecraft to the moon at least once a month to deliver supplies to the base and replace the personnel remaining on the moon.
The gravity of the moon is much smaller than that of the earth. Being in such an environment for a long time will have many adverse effects on the human body. The most important one is bone loss, which can easily lead to paralysis after returning to the earth.
Therefore, astronauts in space must perform a lot of physical training every day to maintain the calcium content in their bones and maintain the strength of their muscles, so that they will not suffer from muscle atrophy due to calcium loss after returning to Earth.
Become paralyzed.
The moon's gravity is too small, and although its impact on the human body is not as great as in space, it still has a huge impact.
In addition, at the lunar base, in addition to the oxygen inside the base, you need to wear a space suit when you go out, which will have a huge impact on your life and work.
Furthermore, if you stay away from the earth, your relatives and friends, and your life on the earth for a long time, people will easily become irritable and restless.
It has happened before that astronauts in the space station stayed in the space station for too long. Over time, people's negative emotions continued to accumulate, and eventually all the well-educated astronauts became grumpy and started quarreling in the space station.
This is caused by the negative emotions produced by the organisms themselves towards unfamiliar and unfamiliar environments, and by the secretion of some special substances.
Because being in a lonely, cramped, unfamiliar, and unsuitable environment for a long time will cause people to feel uneasy. As these emotions continue to accumulate, problems will easily arise in the end.
This and related diseases are called space syndrome.
Many times, after astronauts stay in space for a long time, they will experience dizziness, vomiting, paleness, cold sweats, motion sickness, seasickness, airsickness, secretion disorders and many other symptoms after returning to the ground.
These are all related to space syndrome, so everyone must return to the ground regularly, return to a familiar environment, and gradually recover slowly.
"If we want to carry out real interstellar navigation and interstellar colonization in the future, we will probably have to develop gravity technology."
"Without gravity technology, people would go crazy if they worked and lived in a weightless environment for a long time."
Liu Yuan's mind suddenly started to think very far, and he thought about interstellar navigation and interstellar immigration in the future.
On the other side, there are many news media reporters in the cabin.
Naturally, none of these journalists could sleep, and they were all doing live broadcasts and reports. Qian Xia was chatting non-stop with the fans in her live broadcast room.
"As you can see, at the same position, the moon has become very big, and now you can clearly see the moon's indication. You can take a look."
Qian Xia pointed the live broadcast lens in the direction of the moon. In her field of view, the outline of the moon was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting clearer. Some maria on the moon's surface could already be seen clearly with the naked eye.
"Look at the earth again. The earth has also become smaller by a large circle. It is estimated that in another hour, when it is about to reach the moon, the earth will be even smaller."
"Family, I should be the most distant anchor from you in history."
Qian Xia quickly moved the camera to the direction of the earth. The earth in the lens was much smaller. The blue planet was like a pearl in the universe, emitting dazzling light.
"There is already a delay on the anchor side. It seems that we are really far away~"
"The speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second. Judging from the current delay, it is estimated that the Descendant's position is already in the middle distance between the earth and the moon?"
"I'll go, the master upstairs, can you figure this out?"
"Well, actually, I was watching the live broadcast room and watching TV at the same time. The host on the TV said it."
"Haha~"
"I didn't expect that looking back at the Earth from space, the Earth would be so beautiful. The starry sky and the universe may be the true beginning of our humanity."
"It feels like the starry sky and the universe are actually very boring. No matter which direction you look at it, it looks the same. If you sail in the universe for a long time, you will definitely be bored to death. Our earth is interesting and colorful.
"
"So the living planet is precious!"
“I don’t know when we, the people on Earth, will be able to truly start colonizing the interstellar era?”
"Judging from the current speed of the Houyi, it is already the fastest spacecraft now, but its speed is only one-seven thousandth of the speed of light. If it sails to the nearest Centaur galaxy at this speed, it will probably take
About 30,000 years."
"We may need to start from the ancestors of our ancestors before we can possibly reach the nearest Centaur galaxy."
"It takes 30,000 years to reach the Centaur Galaxy? The Houyi's current speed is 120 times the speed of sound."
"The Centauri galaxy is 4.3 light years away from our solar system. Light year is a unit of length, not time. It means the distance that light travels in one year. Even light takes 4.3 years to travel. I don't know how I calculated it.
Accurate or not."
"So that means we humans will never be able to leave the solar system?"
"That's not the case. Who knows whether super-light flight technology will be developed in the future, or other technologies such as warp engines, wormhole technology, and space shuttle technology."
"..."
The live broadcast room was very lively, and Copudi also took the opportunity to introduce the vastness of the universe to everyone, making many scientific and technological terms appear in the eyes of many people for the first time.
Time is passing slowly, and Hou Yi is getting closer and closer to the moon.
Soon nearly two hours will pass.
"Buzz~buzz~"
The alarm inside the Houyi sounded automatically, waking up the sleeping astronauts, scientists, and engineers. This was a program that was automatically set in advance.
Liu Yuan, who was studying in the seed space with his eyes closed, woke up and looked straight ahead. The huge moon came into view, and he could clearly see the cratered surface of the moon.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the spacecraft is about to enter a state of deceleration. Please return to your seats immediately and fasten your seat belts. The spacecraft will begin to decelerate in five minutes."
Soon, with the sound of the announcement, people in each cabin returned to their seats, quickly fastened the safety area, and lay down on the airline seats.
The astronauts, scientists, and engineers on the spacecraft all began to get excited because they were about to arrive at the moon. They were about to land on the moon and become the first Chinese people to land on the moon.
After five minutes of flying, the anti-gravity engine and aeroengine on the spacecraft started again. With the vibration, the speed of the spacecraft began to decrease continuously, and everyone felt as if they were rushing forward.
Fortunately, the entire deceleration process is long enough, and the pressure generated is not great. Everyone can adapt, and everyone's attention is already on the moon at this moment, looking at the moon that seems to be very close.
