A major event occurred while the fleet was flying over the earth. Brother Yi took this opportunity to give an impassioned public speech.
This method of public speaking is generally used by Americans. In China, there are usually only speeches, but no speeches. Although Brother Yi's speech did not set a precedent, it was also rare in China.
The expedition fleet broadcasted the whole speech of Brother No. 1 live, but Ye Han was not in the mood to listen to Brother No. 1 sing a high-pitched speech.
Not only Ye Han, but also many officers and soldiers in the fleet who stick to their posts.
As the leader of the country, fame and fortune are not a concern to Brother Yi. His ultimate pursuit is still to be remembered in history. Brother Yi encountered an alien invasion during his term of office, which was both misfortune and opportunity.
The expeditionary fleet took the lead in blowing the clarion call for counterattack under the leadership of Brother Yi, which in itself is a good opportunity to leave a mark in history.
To put it more bluntly, no matter how high the status of Brother Yi is, he is still a flesh and blood body. Humans have pursuits, but the level determines the difference in pursuits.
The content of Brother Yi's speech has already determined that this speech will go down in history, not to mention that Brother Yi also picked a key moment when the expedition fleet passed by the earth.
When the speech ended, the booster rocket had just begun to be installed. Half an hour later, the last booster rocket was successfully fixed on the Dewwan.
Everything was ready, and the Hongwan issued an order to the fleet to prepare for attack. The four battleships started their booster rockets at the same time, and the speed of the battleships soared again.
Half an hour later, the fourth set of booster rockets that had exhausted their fuel were thrown away from the ship. The fleet reached a predetermined speed of seventy-two kilometers per second and was gradually moving away from the earth.
Next, the fleet will face a long journey of one year, and the flagship orders each ship to prepare for sleep.
The so-called hibernation means injecting hibernation into the crew, but hibernation does not mean that it can be injected casually. Comprehensive and meticulous preparations must be carried out, including eating in an appropriate amount, drinking an appropriate amount of water, emptying the bowels and urine, taking drugs in a quantitative manner, etc.
Hibernation is not a simple matter, nor does it mean that everything will be fine after injecting hibernation hormone.
Research in the biological laboratory has found that hibernation is not a single substance, but composed of several substances, and each substance taken alone has a strong anesthetic effect.
At present, the laboratory has only isolated two components from hibernation. One is the main component that slows down metabolism, which is to slow down physiological activities four hundred times; the other is the main component that paralyzes nerves, which can make people's consciousness in half.
Coma state.
This discovery makes researchers very excited. If it only slows down the metabolism but does not paralyze the nerves, after injecting hibernin, can people continue to move in slow motion four hundred times?
If this goal can be achieved, can it solve the aging problem in long-term spaceflight?
Corresponding experiments began immediately and were quickly successful. In animal experiments, researchers successfully slowed down the movements of orangutans four hundred times.
However, the experiment was terminated, and subsequent experiments were directly stopped by the laboratory.
The original plan of the laboratory was to hope that after injecting hibernation, the astronauts could still maintain a certain level of exercise ability, eat and drink in a timely manner, and avoid health problems due to hunger and thirst.
Although the idea is good, it has a very serious shortcoming - only human beings enter hibernation!
To take the simplest example, if a hibernating astronaut wants to eat something, it will take several days just to open the food packaging bag, it will also take several days to put the food into his mouth, and it will also take a few days to chew the food.
days time.
People's movements have slowed down, but time still passes normally. It takes ten and a half days to eat a bite of food. Maybe the food will become moldy or even grow a layer of green hair while chewing it in the mouth.
Moreover, the digestion time is much longer than the swallowing time. The food swallowed into the stomach may not be digested in a month, and all the food in the stomach will rot before it has time to be digested.
This is not the only problem that needs to be faced. There are many bacteria in the human intestine that help digestion. Human movements and physiological reactions can be slowed down four hundred times under the influence of drugs, but the bacteria in the intestine will not enter hibernation.
.
Humans stop eating after entering hibernation, and imbalance of intestinal flora is inevitable. If preparations are not made in advance, problems such as diarrhea will be minor, so drugs must be used to control intestinal flora.
There are many similar troubles, such as lying still for a long time and poor blood circulation. Blood will accumulate under the hibernator due to the effect of gravity, resulting in "sleep spots" similar to corpse spots.
Of course, there is no need to worry about this problem in a weightless state.
All in all, the laboratory has gone through a lot of trouble in order to study hibernation. The ultimate goal is to use hibernation as much as possible and avoid the side effects caused by this thing.
The laboratory has tried many methods, but has not been able to solve all the side effects. The final solution is that the duration of hibernation should not exceed one year at most. It is best to lift hibernation for a period of time every six months to allow the body to recover before re-injecting hibernation.
As for whether the use of hibernation will leave hidden dangers in the human body, the laboratory has not yet had time to test it.
The expedition fleet spent half a day preparing for hibernation. After everything was ready, Ye Han and all 6 team members lay down in the hibernation cabin and received hibernation injections.
The function of the hibernating cabin is not only to secure personnel, but also to automatically inject antiseptic drugs in emergency situations, but Ye Han is not clear about what situations are considered emergencies.
After hibernation entered the blood vessels, everyone quickly lost consciousness.
Personnel from various departments entered the hibernation cabins one after another, and the battleship quickly became deserted. In the end, only two crew members were left on duty on each battleship.
The duty of the duty officer is very simple: look after the deserted warships and ensure that the warships are in formation.
In order to avoid psychological problems caused by sticking to their posts for a long time, each group of people is only on duty for one week. After one week of duty, the other group of people must be awakened regardless of the status of the personnel on duty.
The number of crew members of the O24 class is about seventy, and it takes more than half a year for everyone to complete one turn. In less than two turns, the fleet can fly to Jupiter.
Many soldiers only need to sleep for a week or a few weeks before being awakened. They would rather stay awake until it is time to take over, rather than being injected with hibernating and sleeping for a few weeks.
But the supplies on the ship are limited, so it's okay to leave only two sober people on duty. Any more people will increase the consumption of supplies!
There is not much extra space on the battleship. Although all the cabins are filled with supplies, which seems to be enough for the entire ship to consume for a long time, in fact, the supplies carried by the expedition fleet have gone through the most rigorous calculations. Food, drinking water, and air are all accurate.
When it comes to people, there is very little material redundancy, so we must plan carefully.
