In the Dragon Nest Space Factory, the door of the huge Kuafu spacecraft is open, and the mechanical arms are constantly busy, supplying materials to the spacecraft. Soon, it will set off for a scientific investigation of the entire solar system.
"Principal~"
In the Kuafu spacecraft, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin, who graduated from the first phase of the Astronomy Science major at Galaxy University of Science and Technology, saw Qin Yi coming over and quickly said respectfully.
The two of them will also follow the Kuafu spacecraft to conduct an investigation of the solar system this time. This is a very rare opportunity. When many scientists at home and abroad learned that the Kuafu was going to conduct a scientific investigation around the solar system, they all asked Qin
Yi called here, hoping to follow along.
But the Kuafu spacecraft cost Qin Yi his own money, so it was naturally impossible to take advantage of outsiders. Therefore, Qin Yi only invited scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, plus scientists from the Galaxy Research Institute.
A scientific expedition team of more than 300 people was formed.
"Long Zhankong, Huang Zhibin~"
Qin Yi smiled, shook hands with the two, and immediately read out their names.
Galaxy University is getting bigger and bigger now. Qin Yi may not be able to remember all the new faces. However, there were only 505 students in the first batch. Qin Yi remembered and knew every one of them.
"When sailing in space for a long time, you must remember to exercise. Don't be afraid of tiredness or hardship. This is all for yourself. If you still want to be able to be active in the future, you must remember my words."
Then, Qin Yi couldn't help but remind him again that Qin Yi was still very concerned about his students.
"Don't worry, principal, we will definitely practice harder."
The two of them replied in unison.
"Hmm~"
Qin Yi nodded and continued to inspect the Kuafu spacecraft.
Soon, Qin Yi came to the driving control center of the Kuafu spacecraft. The captain of the Kuafu spacecraft this time was Liao Fanghong. Liao Fanghong had the experience of going to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids twice. At present,
, can be regarded as an old captain with rich experience.
"Boss~"
Seeing Qin Yi coming, Liao Fanghong also said quickly.
"How are the preparations going?"
Qin Yi nodded and looked at the void outside. The location of the driving control center was very good, and the field of vision was extremely wide. In the dark void outside, there were stars dotted, which was very charming and made people feel a kind of fear, a kind of darkness swallowing them up.
Fear, a fear of the unknown world.
"All preparations are in place, and we can set off immediately after the supplies are completed."
Liao Fanghong was very familiar with all the conditions of the Kuafu spacecraft. He even personally visited all the crew members on the ship this time. He got to know everyone on the ship and knew everyone's abilities.
This voyage is different from any other one in the past. The journey we have to take this time is very long, and we have to go to many places, many of which have not yet been visited by humans.
Although the Kuafu spacecraft is very powerful and is the crystallization of current human technology, no one knows what will happen in the future, so it is necessary to understand the abilities of each crew member.
Once the spacecraft malfunctions, or something happens, he will be able to know who to use to remedy the situation and whose opinions and suggestions should be listened to.
He is also arranging the preparations for the spacecraft, and he is very aware of the progress.
"Safety comes first. Each of the more than 300 people on the spacecraft this time is a national treasure-level talent. There must be no mistakes."
Qin Yi nodded and thought about his solemn explanation to Liao Fanghong.
The more than 300 people on board are all elite scientists drawn from the Galaxy Scientists Research Institute and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Moreover, because they have been conducting scientific expeditions in the solar system for a long time, these people are all young and powerful.
They are not only the elite of the current scientific community, but also the hope of the Chinese scientific community in the future, and there must be no problems.
"Yes, we must bring them all back safely."
Liao Fanghong used to be a soldier in the Air Force. When she heard Qin Yi's words, she quickly expressed her assurance loudly.
"Don't be too stressed. In fact, the void is very open and there is basically no danger. That means you need to be more careful when inspecting planets, asteroids and other celestial bodies."
"In addition, people are prone to negative emotions and problems after long-term voyages in space, so we must remind everyone to go to the agricultural crop area and simulated ecological area on the spacecraft from time to time for a walk and a rest.
"
Seeing that Liao Fanghong was very serious, Qin Yi also smiled and said.
Because the Kuafu spacecraft is a scientific research spacecraft, not a spacecraft for mining asteroids, it needs to sail in space for a long time, so the internal settings of the spacecraft are even more special.
There is an agricultural crop area and a simulated ecological area. The agricultural crop area is used to grow some fresh vegetables and fruits, so that the crew on the spacecraft can eat fresh vegetables and fruits.
Although there is a refrigerated warehouse on the spacecraft, there is no problem with freezing vegetables and fruits, but frozen ones are still frozen and are far less good than fresh ones.
In addition to fresh vegetables, another function of this area is to eliminate the negative emotions of the crew. Being away from the living planet for a long time will breed negative emotions. If such emotions continue to accumulate, they will eventually lead to big problems.
Qin Yi knew this very clearly from the Science and Technology Tower.
Some civilizations did not pay enough attention to this aspect in their early interstellar colonization activities, and did not discover this aspect of the problem. They sent out spaceships one after another. In the end, all the people on board died before the spaceships reached their destination.
It became a ghost ship.
One of the most important reasons is this void syndrome!
Living things have evolved on the living planet, and everything is adapted to everything on the living planet. Navigating in the void means nothing in a short period of time. As time goes by, various problems will occur frequently.
.
Just like the Age of Discovery on Earth, in the early Age of Discovery, people were basically fighting for their lives, and those who were keen on colonizing were often the people at the lowest level, because they themselves were not living a good life.
Go to sea and fight for your future.
Therefore, the early colonists were basically hooligans, hooligans, bandits, and robbers. The British started their career as bandits and specialized in robbing Spanish gold ships, which later led to the outbreak of the Anglo-Spanish War.
During the early colonial activities, ships sailed in the sea for a long time. Due to the lack of vitamins, scurvy was very popular. Records show that over 200 years from 1521 to 1744, more than 20 million people died from scurvy.
Sickness.
Zheng He was very clever in using bean sprouts to supplement vitamins during his voyages to the West. However, it was not until the 1870s and 1880s that people in Western countries began to use tea and citrus juice to fight scurvy.
Sailing in the void and colonizing the interstellar space, void syndrome is the most terrifying thing. If not taken seriously, it can swallow everyone on the spacecraft.
Qin Yi kept saying some things that needed attention, and Liao Fanghong also kept silently remembering Qin Yi's words.
Time passed slowly, and the supply work of the Kuafu spacecraft was completed. The huge hatch began to slowly close, and the scientists who were preparing to accompany the ship for inspection also boarded the spacecraft one after another.
Qin Yi inspected the spacecraft. All aspects of preparations were very complete. There was nothing more that needed to be exhorted and explained, and he got off the spacecraft.
"Let's go~"
Following the order, the mechanical arms that originally fixed the Kuafu spacecraft began to loosen continuously, and the engines on the Kuafu spacecraft also began to start, slowly leaving the Dragon Nest Space Factory.
"Do you think this scientific research will overturn a lot of our existing knowledge?"
In the control center of Longchao Space Factory, looking at the Kuafu spacecraft fading away, Yang Hongyan thought for a while and said.
"There should always be some gains. We know too little about the solar system, because we haven't left the earth yet."
Qin Yi thought for a while and said, looking at the wider void, human beings are really too small, and their knowledge of the universe is also very limited. For the wider sea of stars, they are full of boundless yearning but full of fear.
