Xiangchuan looked at the scenery outside the window curiously.
She has always believed that in the 21st century, when she was a child in the countryside, she saw that the night sky was the cleanest and most beautiful in her life. Looking around, it seemed that the entire visual field was covered with stars, and it seemed that she could still see stars in the distance.
The Milky Way is like a strip of light.
Now, the shuttle ship she was riding on had left the virtual atmosphere of the main ship and entered space. Only then did Kagawa see for the first time what the starry sky looked like without the cover of the atmosphere and clouds.
When she was still lying in a rented house having a headache over the summary report document for the weekly meeting, she would see news about her motherland’s space station on social media from time to time, but at that time, Kagawa no longer had the desire to be in unreachable space when she was a child.
With the little expectation of exploration, when I grew up and actually realized the speed of society's technological progress, I was already prepared to realize that I might not be able to go to space to take a look at it when I die.
Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that she would sleep until 30,000 years later, and now there is only a window between her and the space that she and her elementary school classmates had dreamed about countless times when she was a child.
Qiu Manman, who was sitting next to him, looked curiously at Xiangchuan's excited expression as if he was pressed against the window, and asked: "Xiangchuan, why do you look like you have never been on a shuttle ship?"
Of course I have never sat on it! Xiangchuan shouted in her heart, but for the sake of her life, of course she couldn't say that directly.
The government does not restrict residents of each fleet from using local area networks or spatio-temporal networks to access public external cameras on the main ship or escort ships to enjoy the scenery of the fleet as it sails in the universe, or allows merchants to launch products that simulate the space environment in real time.
, but due to various unexpected situations that may be encountered externally, such as passing through the asteroid belt, unexpected situations caused by magnetic fields, etc., the internal environment simulation system of the main ship and escort ship simulates something similar to the starry sky at night on the earth to avoid
Unnecessary panic. Therefore, the only people who can often see the real universe are people who often work outside the hull or in the space port.
For the sake of learning, students often watch the footage from outdoor cameras in real time, or use simulation devices to simulate the environment of the current ship group. Kagawa has a small device in his room, but it is almost gone now.
Completely forgotten by her.
Therefore, although they have not had direct contact with the universe like the peripheral operators, the specific image of the concept of space has been deeply engraved in the minds of the students, and now they will not be fussed by the scenery outside the window when riding on the shuttle.
There is no one as excited as Xiangchuan.
"When I was browsing the information, I learned that in ancient times, 99% of people never actually entered the universe in their entire lives, and some children even needed to use imagination to describe the scenery of the universe. I read more like this
After reading the article, I am probably a little influenced by them, right?"
Xiangchuan put her hand against the window. She felt very strange now. The cosmic space that made people look forward to and feared in the 21st century was now only a few centimeters away from her. This feeling was really amazing.
"Teacher Zhu mentioned in Chinese class that it is said that people in the past lived only on the earth. Is this true?" Nancy asked curiously from across the aisle, and other students also looked at her curiously.
"Yes, people used to live on the earth. The original apes evolved into humans. After that, they were inseparable from the earth's ecosystem for a long time, so they could only look up at the stars. Later, with the development of civilization and the advancement of science and technology, some countries...
Using our modern concept, it's like a fleet, right? Developed countries invest money and talents to build space stations in the universe and cultivate plants that can grow in the universe. They can even explore the moon and Saturn, which are closest to the earth.
Do it by machine."
"Looking at the universe from the surface of a planet? Wouldn't that be boring?" Aino, who was sitting behind her, said disdainfully.
"That's true for us, but observations of the universe in different periods have yielded different findings, which is still of great research value to people in the past. And it's not boring, because the earth has been revolving around the sun, and we can see
The appearance of the starry sky is fixed. It was more than 2,000 years ago from the year of the record file I got. Earlier humans who studied the starry sky discovered this based on the shape of the arrangement of the stars. They arranged the stars
They were grouped together to form eighty-eight 'constellations', and they compiled stories for these constellations, which have been passed down to this day."
"Eighty-eight?! What kind of stories are they!" When she heard the story, Qiu Manman suddenly became energetic. She was currently worrying about the script for their club's first performance and needed some dramatic stories. Before Xiangchuan
Of the three published books, "The Count of Monte Cristo" suited her best, but that novel was a bit too long for a drama. Now that she heard that older humans had created eighty-eight stories, she couldn't sit still.
Well, there are eighty-eight of them! There must be stories about their club among them!
[Ahem, please keep quiet while the shuttle is sailing and don’t disturb the students in other classes.]
Lu Daiqing, the squad leader sitting at the front, turned on the radio at some point and connected to the terminals of everyone in Class 18. His voice reached everyone's ears from everyone's terminals. Only then did Qiu Manman think of them.
Class 9 is now sitting in the same cabin as Class 9 and Class 10. Looking around, the other two classes are either leaning on their chairs to catch up on their sleep, or they are staring angrily at the seats next to Class 8 because they were just woken up.
She couldn't help but shrink her head, not daring to shout anymore for fear of causing public outrage.
Looking at the restored cabin, Xiangchuan could continue to look at the scenery outside the window.
There is still a certain distance between the production escort ship and the mother ship. When the escort ship was originally built, in order to prevent the escort ship from being affected by the aftermath of the mother ship's voyage, the designers placed a gap between the mother ship and the escort ship.
A lot of effort was put into adjusting the gravity and repulsion, because it is necessary to prevent the escort ship from being involved in the aftermath of the mother ship's voyage, and to ensure that the escort ship cannot get too close to the mother ship, otherwise it will be attracted by the mother ship's gravity.
Since the first type of escort ship was built, the gravity and repulsion ratio between the main ship and the escort ship have been adjusted according to different environments. Thirty thousand years later, it is no exception. No one knows what will happen in the unknown.
What special circumstances will arise when sailing in the universe that interfere with the communication between the escort ship and the mother ship.
The shuttle ship's sailing time will also vary according to the adjustment of the attraction and repulsion between the main ship and the escort ship. This voyage was a bit long. It was not until nearly seven o'clock that the shuttle ship entered the port of the fourth production escort ship.
Seeing the window of the shuttle ship gradually closing, Xiangchuan could only reluctantly withdraw his thoughts from the window.
