Hope is built using the most advanced materials, and its radiation resistance is dozens of times stronger than previous old spacecraft. Moreover, Hope uses nuclear fusion power, so when it is close to Jupiter, there is no need to worry about fuel consumption.
question.
When building the Hope, Xiao Yu considered the possibility of conflict with other creatures, so ten laser cannons and three high-yield hydrogen bombs were installed on the Hope.
It can be said that this time, Xiao Yu was fully prepared.
However, Xiao Yu remained cautious enough when facing these strange creatures.
Turning on the detection power of various instruments to the maximum, Xiao Yu flew slowly along the orbit around Jupiter.
"According to my previous speculation, the reason why my spaceship attracted so many wood spirits is because there is something on my spacecraft that attracts them. This time I came here just to verify it so that I can launch a large-scale arrest in the future.
"
Xiao Yu thought slowly. After discovering that there was a group of wood spirits in front of him that showed a blue shift with about a hundred times the initial radiation amount, Xiao Yu quickly released a simple satellite, keeping it at about a distance from himself.
In an orbit of one hundred kilometers, they revolve around Jupiter together.
The total strength of this group of wood spirits is about the same as that of the No. 1 wood spirit at its peak. Now, Xiao Yu can completely ignore such a wood spirit with such strength.
Calculated based on the amount of blue shift, the speed of this group of wood spirits relative to the Hope is approximately one hundred kilometers per second. After excluding the speed of the Hope of forty-three kilometers per second, the speed of these wood spirits is approximately sixty kilometers per second.
Kilometers per second or so.
This group of wood spirits quickly arrived at a position only a thousand kilometers away from Xiao Yu. This position was only about 800 kilometers away from the crude satellite that Xiao Yu had previously launched. But at this moment, the performance of this group of wood spirits was...
It greatly exceeded Xiao Yu's expectations.
They ignored the crude satellites that were relatively close, but rushed directly towards the Hope, clinging tightly to the shell of the Hope, trying their best to get in.
Xiao Yu's brows knitted tightly.
"What is it about the spaceship that attracts them? This time I came to Jupiter, and the one I took was not the old spacecraft. In other words, what attracted them was something that the old spacecraft and the Hope shared. But they didn't
If you are not attracted by that simple satellite, you can eliminate a lot of things..."
"What is it that attracts them?"
While Xiao Yu was thinking, he weakened the radiation protection ability of a certain part of the Hope's shell, and made a trap on the inner wall, and neatly captured the group of wood spirits. After that, Xiao Yu began to eliminate it.
Law.
"First of all, it won't be a computer. The computer on the old spacecraft uses large-scale integrated circuits, but the Hope is a photon computer with a different architecture. It's not the same thing at all. Moreover, there is also a computer on that simple satellite.
Modules, these wood spirits disdain them."
"It can't be these materials. They are just tightly attached to the shell, and they will drill in if there is a slight hole. It can be determined that it is not these special steel materials that attract them."
"Is it heat? No, it's unlikely. You can find places with much higher temperatures than mine anywhere on Jupiter. Radiation energy? Impossible. I've done many experiments on Titan."
Xiao Yu thought quickly, and gradually, a terrible idea came to him.
"Could it be...that I am the one who attracts them?"
Xiao Yu decided to do another experiment.
Another wood spirit gathering point was found ahead. There were about seven or eight of them. Xiao Yu cleanly eliminated seven of them with laser cannons. After leaving only one, Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and moved his position through radio waves.
It was moved from the Hope to a simple satellite next to it.
This simple satellite does not have any protective measures. If the wood spirit gets close, only one wood spirit can destroy Xiao Yu. But Xiao Yu is sure to escape in time after the wood spirit shows signs of approaching him.
In order to clarify this issue and for the subsequent large-scale arrest plan, Xiao Yu believed that it was worth taking a little risk.
The Hope is rapidly approaching Komuling. The distance has shortened from ten thousand kilometers to five thousand kilometers, and then to one thousand kilometers...
The Hope, the simple satellite, and the Wood Spirit form a triangle. Based on Xiao Yu's grasp of the Wood Spirit's habits, Xiao Yu knows that when the Wood Spirit reaches three hundred kilometers away from the Hope, he will make a decision.
.Whether to fly to the Hope or to a simple satellite.
The wood spirit is here. At a distance of 300 kilometers from the Hope, it changed its direction without any hesitation and rushed towards the simple satellite at a speed of 60 kilometers per second. Plus the speed of the simple satellite itself
, after three seconds, the wood spirit will come into contact with it.
The time left for Xiao Yu was only three seconds. Although it was short, it was enough. It only took Xiao Yu less than a second to run out of the simple satellite and send himself to the
In the main control computer of the Hope. And this wood spirit seemed to have something in its heart. It felt Xiao Yu's departure. It also immediately changed its direction and swooped towards the Hope until it was caught by the shell of the Hope.
Block and cannot advance.
The reaction of this wood spirit has confirmed Xiao Yu's guess, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but think deeply.
"So, why do I attract them?" Xiao Yu thought about it, "The biggest difference between me and the computer is that I have independent thinking, but the computer does not. Could it be that what attracts them is my independent thinking, or in other words
, is it my wisdom?”
"This is the only explanation." Xiao Yu came to this conclusion, "Could it be that after devouring my wisdom, they will evolve?"
"Is there such a path of evolution? You don't evolve wisdom on your own, but you can evolve by devouring the wisdom of other creatures."
This is just a rough guess. Unfortunately, there are no other intelligent creatures around Xiao Yu for him to confirm this guess. Xiao Yu is unwilling to do the experiment on his own, so he can only keep this guess in his heart and wait for it.
Will verify later.
After tidying up the wood spirit, Xiao Yu continued on his journey.
After the past few years, it seems that there are more radiation sources on Jupiter. Xiao Yu can detect that there are many radiation sources 100,000 kilometers below him, on the surface of Jupiter and even deeper, almost all over the entire planet.
Jupiter. Xiao Yu didn't dare to go there, so he would just fight guerrillas in the outer layer. Otherwise, no matter how strong he was, if thousands of wood spirits pounced on him, he would still be finished.
Even in the outer layer, the gathering density of wood spirits is more than ten times higher than the last time I used the old spaceship to escape. With the strength of the Hope, it has encountered danger several times. Fortunately, Xiao Yu has prepared enough.
Fuel and high-power laser cannons attacked at the same time, slowing down their speed and reducing their intensity. Only then did Xiao Yu survive the crisis safely.
After confirming that it was only him who attracted these wood spirits, and that the mechanical equipment he made would not be interfered by the wood spirits, Xiao Yu also started a prospecting plan for the Jupiter system while capturing the wood spirits.
The Jupiter system is much larger than the Saturn system, and it is much closer than the Earth. If titanium and zirconium can be found here, the mining period and mining cost will undoubtedly be much lower than on the Earth.
Four Galilean satellites and dozens of smaller satellites were all explored by Xiao Yu, but the results disappointed Xiao Yu. There were still no titanium and zirconium veins worth mining in the Jupiter system.
"Hey, let's just honestly look for it on the earth." Xiao Yu sighed and embarked on the journey back with the tens of thousands of wood spirits he captured.
Such a number of Kodama is enough for Xiao Yu to build more than a hundred "village"-level spaceships like the Hope, and even one "county"-level spacecraft is enough.
In Xiao Yu's classification, spacecraft of about three thousand tons, such as Hope, are "village" level, spacecraft of more than 10,000 tons are "township" level, and spacecraft of more than 100,000 tons are "county" level.
.
In Xiao Yu's design drawings, the "County" class spacecraft is already at least 500 meters in length, which is larger than the large aircraft carriers on the earth. Xiao Yu's plan is to build at least three "
After picking up the county-level spacecraft and the supporting "township"-level and "village"-level spacecraft, the trip to Tianyuan Four began.
This goal is no longer far away. The long march of thousands of miles, with Xiao Yu's persistence for several years, is at least half completed.
Full of fruits of harvest, Xiao Yu returned to Titan. In the nearly three months since Xiao Yu left, Titan was quiet as usual, without any accidents. Even the expected black insect invasion, he
The most likely scenario of losing one or two bases did not happen, which made Xiao Yu secretly sigh at his good luck.
Xiao Yu, who couldn't wait to return to the computer at the main base and once again experienced the pleasure of powerful computing power, immediately began to restore productivity on Titan after detecting and processing the backlog of data during this period.
Xiao Yu has a grand goal. Now, with enough wood spirits and black insect corpses, as well as various endless resources, and all his titanium and zirconium inventories, Xiao Yu plans to build a "ship"
"Xiang" class spacecraft came out.
This "Xiang" class spacecraft will reach 30,000 tons. It will still be butterfly-shaped, but its diameter will reach one hundred meters. Xiao Yu named this first "Xiang" class spacecraft that has not yet been completed...
Dawn!
If the "Hope" only allowed Xiao Yu to see the hope of Yuanyuansi, then the "Shuguang"
”, which allowed Xiao Yu to see the dawn of realizing his dream of a great voyage!
