LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 800: sequence
Chapter 800 Prologue
The flint space city swept past the side of the moon, two huge annular cabins slowly rotating.
The plasma, heated to millions of degrees, is ejected from the vent at a speed of nearly 500 kilometers per second under the control of an electromagnetic field.
The dark background of the tail flames of the 17 thrusters exudes an intoxicating halo.
Such a powerful thruster only increases the speed of Flint Space City by a few centimeters per second.
And ahead, is a journey of billions of kilometers.
Gu Song confirmed that all the data were all right and left the bridge.
The big head, who had just swung around in the bridge, followed behind him and moved slowly along the magnetic rails in the passage bulkhead.
Gu Song fell in love with the feeling of floating and sliding forward, as if in a dream.
After a while, he came to the moon gate passage of the scientific research module.
Gu Song adjusted the direction of his body and entered the elevator.
In the absence of gravity, the sense of direction is weird.
Looking here from the core cabin, Gu Song and Datou are standing upside down.
Then the elevator started, and Gu Song gradually felt the gravity.
When he arrived at the scientific research cabin, the elevator door opened, and Gu Song could walk out. The body is very light, and the gravity standard here is 0.4 G.
"Captain!"
Passers-by greeted Gu Song.
Gu Song responded with a smile and walked straight to Wang Suizhen's laboratory.
The ground is curved, walking on it has a very unique experience.
But now, everyone is used to it.
Gu Song entered Wang Suizhen's laboratory.
Inside, Wang Suizhen led a team and continued to carry out material research.
Among them, there is Deng Yihui.
Seeing Gu Song coming in, the others said hello and continued the work at hand.
Wang Suizhen stood up from his seat and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, just look around."
"Patrol? You have nothing to do with me. I'll keep busy."
"Is there any progress? It's exciting to see you." Gu Song asked curiously.
"There are some different properties in the low-gravity environment, and I'm doing some comparative analysis."
Gu Song was a little speechless when he saw that he was too busy to care about his appearance.
leaned over and looked at the information on his screen, and pointed at it: "There should be some digging in this place."
Wang Suizhen turned his head uncertainly and asked, "Really?"
"You can change the parameters and test it out, and you'll know."
Wang Suizhen thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he began to work hard, writing a new experimental plan.
Even Deng Yihui didn't pay much attention to himself, Gu Song felt as if he was a big idler.
During the long journey, there is nothing else, it is really boring and boring.
After leaving the material laboratory, Gu Song continued to turn around in the scientific research cabin, as if patrolling the territory.
Flint Space City doesn't have such a good opportunity to plan an ideal route, and use the gravitational slingshot of Mars and Jupiter to accelerate along the way.
This journey is destined to be lonely.
The big head is no longer behind him.
It has its own set of artificial intelligence programs to determine what kind of pictures are worthy of inclusion.
Perhaps, it also thinks Gu Song is quite boring.
Gu Song came to the living cabin again.
At this time, Xin Zhao and the others are too young to directly participate in research projects, so they all continue to study in the living cabin.
In addition, there are some family members.
Gu Song looked at the invisible black starry sky outside the porthole, and sighed helplessly.
It is estimated that for the next year or so, this is basically the life.
Alright, this is probably the most leisurely time in my life.
The ship has been built and is on its way. When the "seed sequence" identity has been obtained, it will be busy again.
Let's continue to study the theoretical content of the "Basic Encyclopedia of Astronautics", as well as the textbooks for the "Enlightenment Program".
The life of the strongest human brain is so boring and tasteless...
…
On the orbit of Titan, the "Eye of Deep Space" has circled here and there again and again.
Now, a probe has finally arrived here after a long journey.
This probe is named Envoy.
In Hall 2 of the Space Mission Control Center in Xinghai City, everyone is staring at its orbit change data.
The signal was delayed by more than 78 minutes.
"Get ready! Have you communicated with the supercomputing center of Flint Aerospace?" the commander asked.
"Awaiting to receive data anytime."
The commander nodded and waited quietly.
In the complex gravitational environment of Saturn's orbit, how difficult is it to allow the envoy to smoothly enter a certain satellite, and to enter a certain precise orbit of the satellite itself in order to observe the alien creation?
No one is sure.
As long as it can enter the orbit of Titan first.
Then, we need to use the specific orbital data to let the quantum supercomputing of Flint Aerospace help calculate further orbital change plans, and achieve synchronization with the orbits of alien creations little by little.
HSDA's quantum supercomputing is not dedicated to the aerospace field, but is more reliable from Flint Aerospace.
In the outer space of Titan, the envoy is slowing down.
I don't know how long it has been slowing down.
ESG did not share Cassini's core detection data after all, and HSDA only calculated the mass of Titan as much as possible and analyzed its gravitational environment based on its own deep space exploration equipment.
From this, according to the heading of the special envoy, a deceleration time is calculated to reduce it to a level that can be captured by Titan.
As the envoy slowed down, its flight direction finally began to slowly deflect at an angle invisible to the naked eye.
In space, relative speed is so important. Under everyone's speed of kilometers per second, if you miss it by a tiny bit, you will miss it by a thousand miles, and you may miss it from now on.
In the control hall of Xinghai City, someone ascended and asked: "You said, will that enlightenment probe affect the special envoy?"
"Probably...no way..."
"What if it was affected?"
"What are you thinking?" Another person next to him said, "If there is really malicious intent, what's the use of taking one of our detectors?"
The mission of the special envoy is mainly three.
The first is to continuously observe the alien creation named Enlightenment Probe at close range.
Secondly, test whether the so-called enlightenment plan can also be triggered by using a special unmanned detector to enter the distance range required in the "Enlightenment Plan" under unmanned conditions.
Finally, try to establish a point-to-point communication channel with the enlightenment detector.
Looking at the data fed back one after another on the big screen, the constantly calculated new orbit is bending.
From straight lines, to arcs, and constantly approaching the preset track.
The changes on the screen are so slow, moving millimeter by millimeter.
At the height of Titan, the special envoy slid across several kilometers of void in one second.
Finally, the envoy track displayed on the screen stopped on a closed oval. The little blip that represents the Envoy, no longer strays away.
A burst of cheers suddenly sounded.
The commander said with a smile: "Don't relax, the next step is to share the data and continue to adjust the track!"
Spanning more than one billion kilometers, this is a prologue that has only just begun to enter the formal working stage.
Surrounding this satellite with a diameter of just over 1,000 kilometers, the special envoy changed its orbit and attitude little by little, chasing after the Enlightenment probe.
After a few days, an invisible signal emanated from it, pointing to the Enlightenment detector.
In the control hall of Xinghai City, everyone waited with bated breath.
Since that "Enlightenment Project" broadcast, it has fallen into silence.
Now, does it respond to messages sent by humans from close range?
