Chapter 196, the feeling of the interstellar space age
In the huge "Lushan" spacecraft, Qin Yi came to a seat by the window and sat down, fastening his seat belt very consciously.
With 50 passengers, most of the seats were temporarily added by engineers and scientists at the back. The original design of the Lushan spacecraft could only carry 10 people, which was obviously not enough.
The seat is a chair specially designed by Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group. It is like a groove, and the whole person is perfectly wrapped by the groove. This design can minimize the huge pressure caused by the acceleration and deceleration of the spacecraft, making it more comfortable.
Comfortable.
Of course, since the round trip takes 3 hours, this chair also has a very good sleep function. Once you lie down gently, the whole person is very comfortable. It also has a massage function. It can be said that it is also for this trip to the moon.
Special design made.
After all, the cost of this trip is 20 million U.S. dollars. No matter how you calculate it, Galaxy Technology Group and Interstellar Travel Company are making a lot of money here, and naturally they want customers to enjoy the top-notch services.
"Please fasten your seat belts, our journey to the moon is about to begin."
The pleasant voice of the tour guide Liao Qingqing came from the broadcast on the spacecraft. She first said it in Chinese, then repeated it several times in English, French, etc., so that every rich man could understand it.
Of course, everyone actually carries a translator with them, so there is no problem at all in communicating.
Qin Yi took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was 8 o'clock in a few minutes. He looked out the window again. The sky was blue and white, the weather was clear and the weather was very good.
"Buzz~buzz~"
A few minutes passed quickly. As the alarm sounded on the spacecraft, Qin Yi temporarily put away his mobile phone, feeling slightly nervous.
"Take off~"
A voice came, and Qin Yi felt the spacecraft shake slightly, and then began to rise.
At the beginning, the speed was relatively slow, but soon, the spacecraft rose faster and faster. Under the huge acceleration, Qin Yi felt a pressure that pressed him firmly on the chair.
"The pressure is not bad~"
Qin Yi felt carefully that because of the space suit and the specially designed seat, most of the pressure was offset, but despite this, Qin Yi still felt a very obvious huge pressure. This pressure
It's like diving into water. As you dive deeper, you can clearly feel the water pressure from all directions.
You can clearly feel the water in the water, but in the spaceship, this pressure is an invisible pressure that can be clearly felt from the inside to the outside.
"Huh~"
The huge pressure did not last long. Soon, Qin Yi felt his whole body light up. All the pressure seemed to disappear at once, and then his whole body seemed to be suspended.
"Gentlemen and ladies, we have now entered space. The spacecraft will fly around the earth's orbit twice and adjust the flight track and direction. So everyone now has about half an hour to carefully feel the weightlessness of space.
environment.”
"In addition, you can also take photos by the window of the spaceship~"
Just a few minutes after the spacecraft entered space, Liao Qingqing's voice sounded again. When everyone heard it, everyone suddenly became excited.
Some people unbuckled their seat belts and carefully felt the weightlessness, just like a child getting a new toy, which was very novel.
Ji Rong came to a relatively open area lightly, did a slow somersault, and then pushed gently, and the whole person slowly started to float in the cabin.
"Haha, interesting~ quite fun."
Ji Rong, who was very young, had a smile on his face like a child, smiling very happily and brightly.
"The earth is so beautiful~"
Next to the window, one after another the rich took out their cameras and started taking pictures with their mobile phones. Looking at the huge planet in the void, exuding a blue halo, everyone couldn't help but admire its beauty.
stand up.
"Only by truly going to space once and taking a look at the earth from space can we truly understand the beauty of the earth. I always didn't believe this before, but now I do."
Beside Qin Yi, Lao Wang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
All 50 tourists came to space for the first time. At this time, each of them was like a curious baby, feeling the weightless environment, going to the window to take a look at the beautiful earth, and constantly taking photos.
This trip to the moon is also very user-friendly. Mobile phones and cameras are allowed to be carried with you, and there are signals and networks that can be connected whether on the spacecraft or on the moon.
Of course, this is also an additional service, and it also requires a fee. After all, communication between the earth and the moon also requires a dedicated communication channel, which costs a lot of money, but the rich people present do not care about this small amount of money at all.
At this time, someone is using their mobile phone to contact their relatives and friends, making video calls, so that their relatives and friends can also take a look at the beautiful earth from space.
The spacecraft did not stay on the earth's side for too long. After adjusting its direction, it continued to accelerate directly towards the moon.
After the spacecraft accelerates, the engine is shut down, and the spacecraft relies on inertia to fly, many tourists have up to 3 hours of free time.
The spacecraft relied on inertia to continuously move towards the moon. Qin Yi looked at the scenery outside the window and was slightly in a daze.
This scenery has not changed, or it has changed so little that Qin Yi even wondered whether the spacecraft was flying or stopped in the void of the universe.
However, when looking back at the direction of the earth every half hour, Qin Yi can clearly see that the earth has become smaller in the field of view, and at the same time looking in the direction of the moon, the moon has become larger in the field of view.
, it is also clearer, and the craters on the moon can be seen more clearly.
"The distance between the earth and the moon is less than 400,000 kilometers, which is still a very long distance for today's human beings. However, this distance is not even compared to the vast universe, even if it is placed in the entire solar system.
It’s also an insignificant distance.”
"We have landed on the moon and mined resources on the moon, but in a larger sense, we are still standing still, and we are still far from truly entering the interstellar space age~"
Qin Yi looked at the scenery outside and was thinking about it. He had experienced the vastness of interstellar space through the technology tower again and again before, but this time, when he actually came to space and experienced it personally
, Qin Yi was able to truly feel the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of human beings.
"Brother Qin, what are you thinking about?"
Just when Qin Yi was deep in thought, Ji Rong floated over lightly. He was having a bad time now. He was so happy that he had forgotten his age and identity.
Of course, the other rich people on the spaceship were all the same at this time. In the entire huge cabin, the super rich people from all over the world were having a great time, and they just needed to open a p.
Some people were floating around constantly, some were chatting with their families on their mobile phones, some were taking pictures with their cameras, and some people actually gathered together, facing each other to discuss the earth and the moon.
go.
Logically speaking, these three hours should be used for rest, but these people present had no sleepiness at all and had no intention of resting at all.
After finally going to space, I naturally want to have a good time and have fun.
Of course, there are also many rich people among them. They are not only here to play, but also to experience the charm of interstellar space in person and prepare for future investments.
Lao Sun is one of them. He has been observing the spacecraft carefully since he entered the spacecraft, carefully feeling everything in the space. There are rays of light in his eyes, and he seems to be quite touched.
"I'm thinking that we humans are still too small~"
Hearing Ji Rong's words, Qin Yi smiled.
"Yes~ It's very small. So far, we have only landed on the moon~"
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Ji Rong seemed to be inspired.
The 3-hour journey was a bit dull and boring. Everyone had a lot of fun at the beginning, but once the freshness wore off, that was it. Everyone gathered together in twos and threes and chatted to pass the time.
Some people share their feelings about interstellar space travel on their social platforms, some are busy interacting with their relatives and friends, and some are slightly tired and ready to rest and save for the next highlight, the trip to the moon.
Spend energy and energy.
Qin Yi took out his mobile phone and chatted with Wen Xueying, and shared the pictures and videos he had taken in his circle of friends. Soon the circle of friends began to explode, with messages coming out one after another.
"Can I still surf the Internet in a spaceship?"
Some people are very surprised. According to the traditional concept, you should not be able to access the Internet in interstellar space. After all, you can't access the Internet on an airplane on earth because there is no signal for mobile phones.
"Of course you can~ and the internet speed is super fast."
Qin Yi smiled and explained. He carefully looked at the various messages and messages in the circle of friends. There were so many that he couldn't reply for a while.
Some asked Qin Yi how he felt in space, some asked Qin Yi to help bring a stone back to the moon as a souvenir, and some asked whether he would grow taller in the weightless environment of space...
All kinds of questions and news made Qin Yi a little bit dumbfounded. He smiled and shook his head, turned off his phone, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a good rest.
