Yu Yifeng got up anxiously before six o'clock. At this moment, even though he was calm, he also felt a little uneasy in his heart.
It's not just him who can't sleep, there are also more scholars, technicians, engineers, etc...
Everyone on board Noah has a huge vision for the future.
Today is the day when the "Deep Space" sets sail, and it is the first step for mankind to officially enter the interstellar space!
"Okay, Captain Deep Space, relax...it'll be okay."
Yuriko said softly with a smile on her face.
She carefully buttoned every button on Yu Yifeng's clothes, and patted his collar to smooth out the wrinkles.
At the same time, she also put on a nice set of work clothes, looked at herself in the mirror, and smoothed her hair slightly.
The two walked out of the room one after the other.
Yu Yifeng pulled her, still thinking about his own affairs.
He asked: "Has the aftermath of the Lizard Aboriginals been completed? Has anything gone wrong?"
I have to say, Yu Yifeng is really a bit of a virgin...
This group of lizard natives have always been obedient and have been working for humans safely for so long, even for several generations!
They have contributed a lot to the "Deep Space", but they feel a bit like "one of their own".
Now that humans are gone, we don't know what will go wrong among these indigenous people.
Yuriko said calmly: "You have asked about this many times... All the land redistribution reforms have been completed. Some of our remaining factories have also been distributed, and the lizard currency has been recycled and exchanged for materials."
"We have done what we need to do, and we cannot predict what will happen next."
"The rest, hundreds of thousands of years of social evolution, will always depend on themselves... Whether they can break through to interstellar civilization, and whether they will perish in the future, will only depend on themselves... We can't let us take care of everything, right?
Do we need to build a spaceship for them to help them break through the Great Filter?"
"That's true!" Yu Yifeng smiled.
He just sighed a little and stopped thinking about it.
Humans have only used 20% of the easily mined combustible ice on the planet Nyx, leaving 80% for the lizards. Whether they will eventually become an interstellar civilization is still hard to say.
"...The probability is very low."
Yu Yifeng shook his head. He knew the horror of the "big filter"...
7:30 am.
At this time, thousands of scientists, scholars, technicians, engineers, etc. from all parts of the spacecraft were already sitting at their respective posts, ready to go.
Yu Yifeng and some major project leaders gathered in the captain's room at the front, preparing to issue orders.
The remaining hundreds of thousands of people were required to stay in the Noah's residential area and were not allowed to move around at will.
Fortunately, the facilities inside are very complete, and you can clearly see the entire takeoff process of the spacecraft.
In more than 160 years, the population of the entire new human civilization has increased to 730,000.
I have to say...this number is seriously lower than expected!
The main reason is because of the continuous increase in life span!
The research and development of a large number of biological technologies has increased human lifespan, but directly reduced the birth rate of the population. In the past, one generation could be added in 25 to 30 years, but now it is generally delayed to 60 years.
Because life expectancy has increased, people generally do not like to get married and have children too early.
Some people may even consider starting a family when they are one hundred years old... Yes, one hundred years old is still a young person.
In this kind of human rights matter, the government shouldn't interfere too much... No matter how much you encourage it, it's useless. You can't force people to get married and have children.
Fortunately, the advent of the "brain chip" more than a hundred years ago has caused fundamental changes in human intelligence and related industrial structures. Even if the population is smaller, as long as the quality is high enough, there won't be much of a problem.
There are so many benefits of brain chips...
"Kick, kick, kick, kick!" A sequence of neat steps came from a distance. They were troops wearing power armor. These soldiers were required to be distributed in every corner of the spacecraft to perform security tasks.
As time passed by, everyone began to feel slightly nervous. This was the first time for such a long-distance voyage, although... humans were indeed fully prepared.
At eight o'clock in the morning, when the time came, Yu Yifeng immediately announced: "I order the Deep Space to activate flight mode!"
"Captain orders, Deep Space activates flight mode!"
The machinery was running, and the various mounting devices around the spacecraft were quickly recovered, and the entire spacecraft assumed its final sailing posture. Because it had been tested many times, there was no error in this step.
"I order the spacecraft engine system to start and countdown to ten seconds."
"Captain ordered, start the spacecraft engine system, countdown to ten seconds!"
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
As the last second passes, all the main reactors in the entire spacecraft work at the same time. Part of the high-temperature plasma sputtered out passes through the magnetic fluid generator and drives the steam turbine to directly generate electricity. The other part will be ejected backward through the engine as the spacecraft.
the driving force.
Because of the huge volume and mass of the spacecraft, usually the entire acceleration will be controlled within 0.5 meters per square second, so the acceleration process will be very long.
Such a large spaceship can no longer be as simple and rough as the previous Noah and can withstand tossing.
But now, Deep Space needs to increase its speed in order to escape the gravity of Nix.
For this newborn spacecraft, it is the first challenge.
Yu Yifeng said loudly: "Start the auxiliary engine power system and increase the speed of leaving the Knicks! Increase the power of the main engine!"
"The captain ordered to start the auxiliary engine power system and increase the propulsion of the main engine at the same time!"
A strange little sun appeared above the star Nix, and its powerful jet of light penetrated the thick volcanic dust.
The small half of the star Nix was illuminated by the small sun, and the unprecedented day appeared at this moment. The indigenous lizards on the surface cheered loudly and enthusiastically... They witnessed this god-like process with their own eyes.
"Report Captain! The total power has increased by 537%, the nuclear explosion reactor is working normally! The main engine is working normally! The auxiliary engine is working normally!"
After a large amount of data popped up on the display screen, Yu Yifeng understood that this voyage had a high probability of success.
As the huge spacecraft accelerated faster and faster, after orbiting the planet Nix for one and a half times, it finally broke free of gravity and gradually left the planet.
Everyone looked at the big screen in front of them. There... was a Knick star that accepted humans in the dark universe.
It is dim, dull, and unremarkable.
Humans are leaving and I don’t know if they will come back.
Everyone was a little sad, even Zhao Yao, Xu Yunjin and other old people could not help but wipe away their tears.
Every first-generation old man remembers the time when they were wandering in the universe... During that time, human beings lacked resources and were on tenterhooks. People were afraid of flying forever in the empty universe... until they perished.
It is the lovely Knicks who accepts mankind and uses his broad mind to make mankind go further.
Humans once despised her darkness and her barrenness, but she did not despise humans.
Just relying on the nuclear explosion reactor on the spacecraft, mankind has passed the "Great Filter", no longer lacks energy, and can live here for a long time.
However, the chicks will eventually fly high, the eagle will eventually spread its wings, and it is time to say goodbye...
