Chapter 312 Sailing Arrival
There is no artificially controlled day-night cycle on the Brave spacecraft. Everyone can rest freely after completing phased tasks according to personal circumstances, and eight earth-star hours is considered a very sufficient rest period in the eyes of these scientific research madmen.

In order to make himself look as normal as possible, Wang Zhifan went to rest for a few hours, even though his body did not need to do so.

The place where he sleeps is in the office. It is a very inconspicuous cubicle. If he hadn't specifically checked where his bedroom is in the database, he might not have believed that it looked like it was convenient for people to catch up on their sleep. The place will be a regular bedroom. It can be seen that although the Brave One is very large, its use of space is relatively sophisticated.

The time for repairs quickly passed by, and Wang Zhifan, who was well prepared, once again came to the spaceship anchorage where he had left for less than ten hours, and saw the spacecraft that he and Jessica's team would board this time, the Guangshu reconnaissance ship. .

This interstellar flying object is much larger than the small spacecraft he took last time. It is a hundred meters long from beginning to end, 20 to 30 meters wide, and about five stories high. A spacecraft of this level is in It is said that there are only three ships on board the Brave.

"Captain Wang, did the chief increase your soldier quota?"

At this moment, Jessica and her party of four had already stood at the entrance to the Guangshu's boarding cabin. They found that Wang Zhifan was followed by a total of twelve clone soldiers. This number had tripled compared to the initial plan.

"Yes, the chief must have seen my message, so he temporarily increased my soldier configuration and assigned us four additional sets of combat armor."

Wang Zhifan turned around and pointed at the large box dragged on the ground by four of the clone soldiers, saying that what it contained was not a change of clothes or food, but pure combat power.

"This is really good news. This mission will definitely go as smoothly as last time."

"Identity verification passed. Please go to the second floor through the vertical ladder. We will bring all packages up using the freight elevator."

Because in addition to the pilot responsible for driving the spacecraft, there are also maintenance personnel, service personnel and professional combatants, such as cooks who prepare meals for everyone, doctors who are responsible for medical treatment, and operators who are responsible for controlling artillery attacks.

A white female flight attendant noticed Wang Zhifan's puzzled look and took the initiative to speak to him.

"Sir, many people who board our Optical Hub for the first time will have expressions like yours. They think that the internal space of the Optical Hub will be very spacious. In fact, because the hyperlight engine occupies too large a space, the fuel tank space is also limited. It cannot be effectively reduced. In fact, the effective space of our spacecraft has always been relatively tight.”

Wang Zhifan continued to ask after hearing this. He felt that the designer of this spacecraft might be the same person as the Brave One.

The Guangshu first warmed up on the anchorage of the Brave carrier for half an hour, and then slowly sailed out of this safe harbor and into the vast space. Then it did not proceed in the empty space. After a long period of acceleration, it entered a state similar to stationary after a while. However, Wang Zhifan, who was keenly aware, knew that the Guangshu was not really stationary at this stage. It was actually consuming fuel and accumulating fuel at a terrifying speed. energy.

The initial familiarization phase passed quickly, and when everyone was assigned a rest compartment by the flight attendants, the journey officially began.

At this time, Wang Zhifan came to a porthole in the cabin. He found that Jessica, a female scientist with blond hair and blue eyes, was looking out the window at the boundless space. Her eyes were focused on the subtle layer of light that was constantly shaking slightly outside the spacecraft. She seemed to be trapped in it. Thinking.

"Let's get on the spaceship first and chat slowly on the way."

"Please rest assured that all personnel have separate sleeping compartments, but there are only two washrooms and they need to be used in turns."

The existence of these people ensures that the Guangshu can be regarded as a small scientific expedition team and can cope with various situations.

After a while, when he climbed up the vertical ladder and came to the inside of the spaceship where he would live for about a month, he found that the space here was not as big as he had imagined. The main cabin could only accommodate nearly twenty of them. There is too much space and it seems a little cramped.

As a top-notch reconnaissance ship on the Brave mothership, the crew of the Guangshu is not like the last one with only two captains and deputy captains. Their total crew members have more passengers than Wang Zhifan. .

Jessica glanced at Wang Zhifan and others, and was equally happy with the increase in defense power.

After exchanging greetings, Wang Zhifan asked the four scientists to enter from the boarding cabin first, followed a long and diagonally draped steel plate into the first floor of the Guangshu, and asked the crew inside to start some identity authentication procedures.

Jessica did not answer immediately after he asked the question, but waited until he was about to turn around and leave before she reacted and turned around to answer:
"Sorry, I was too fascinated just now... You are right. The phenomenon we are seeing now is the characteristic of the super-light engine accumulating power, but it is actually not a simple optical phenomenon, but the phenomenon around the spacecraft. It shows that space is being distorted by the engine. The principle of this phenomenon is so mysterious that we humans have not been able to decipher it yet..."

After Wang Zhifan was verified by a clone waitress holding a recorder, they were allowed to enter the second floor of the Guangshu, which was the real passenger cabin of the spacecraft.

"The distorted light outside should be a sign that the faster-than-light voyage is about to start, right?"

The female flight attendant smiled, and then introduced other configurations on the spacecraft to Wang Zhifan and others, such as a section of the cabin where a rectangular dining table and oven were fixed. This place was obviously the Guangshu's restaurant.

"There is always a space for each of us to rest and wash, right? Don't tell me this is where we will stay for the next month."

Jessica spoke to Wang Zhifan for a long time, with regret and longing in her tone. It was not difficult to guess that she must have just been observing and reasoning about the principles of a hyperdrive from an alien civilization.

"Captain, if you want to solve this problem, it's useless to just look at it like this. You have to come up with a brand new theory. The Chief has already rigorously proved that in the theories we currently know, this super-light phenomenon cannot be explained at all. It is like It’s as confusing as magic…”

A middle-aged white man also intervened in the conversation at this time. He was a member of Jessica's exploration team. Judging from what he said, he might be an expert in this field. "I know... what I was thinking just now is whether this super-light speed principle can really be understood by us humans. Perhaps developing and improving our human thinking itself first is the key to unlocking its mystery."

When Jessica heard the middle-aged white man's words, she turned to look at him and replied.

"Oh... your idea is somewhat novel... but how to develop and improve thinking specifically? This requires building a feasible theory first..."

The two then entered into a serious discussion, and soon attracted their other two team members, the yellow-skinned young scientist and the black-skinned girl to join in. The discussion became more and more heated, making Wang Zhifan on the side feel that he and There is an invisible divide between these people.

"After all, I am not from the same world. What I am best at now is probably fighting and killing. I can't even think about these scientific issues."

Wang Zhifan, who turned around silently and left, immediately went to check on his clone trooper subordinates, especially letting a few of them try on the power armor provided by the chief in order to prepare for the formation behind him.

Time passed slowly in this smoothness. When a special vibration suddenly spread throughout the spacecraft after a period of time, Wang Zhifan knew that the super-light voyage had finally begun. Understand the way to drive to the designated coordinates 16.5 light-years away, and the time it takes will not exceed 24 earth-star hours.

At the same time, they can no longer control the movement of the spacecraft during the faster-than-light voyage, let alone open any hatch to leave. According to research, violating these rules will lead to very disastrous consequences.

Naturally, Wang Zhifan would not be so bored as to do something that violates these rules, but he would secretly monitor whether others had similar premeditations. For example, someone who was depressed and committed suicide deliberately violated these rules so that others could be buried with him. He deduced that this might be the case. Copies are a way to trick people.

But after his continuous and detailed observation, the results showed that there were no strange characters on the spacecraft. Everyone was keeping to themselves to prepare for the exploration mission, or recharging their energy like him.

Therefore, about one Earth-star day later, Wang Zhifan felt that the Guangshu had exited that very special super-light speed sailing state and entered a regular sailing mode. But unfortunately, he could not see much difference outside the porthole. It's still a scene of dots of light in the darkness.

Until another day later, a certain small dot that was originally inconspicuous gradually grew larger in his eyes, and its outline became clearer, and finally appeared as a gray-green planet suspended in the vast universe.

"Captain Wang, we are finally here! Look how beautiful this planet is! The scan of the Guangshu shows that there are a large number of civilization creations on its surface! Let's quickly land and explore this unknown civilization!"

Jessica, a female scientist with blond hair and blue eyes, was as excited as ever at this time. She wanted to jump out of the spacecraft immediately and reach the surface of the planet to start detecting it. Only Wang Zhifan stared at the increasingly huge star outside the porthole with a solemn expression.

"This planet gives me a sense of hidden danger... I solemnly recommend using the detection instruments carried by the spacecraft to conduct preliminary detection, and try to minimize or avoid landing, otherwise there will be considerable risks."

Wang Zhifan's perception had some reactions as he gradually approached the planet, making him realize that there were many dangerous factors on the planet in front of him. Although overall there was no type that made him feel creepy, but Considering that he has to take care of other relatively weak team members, it is an ideal choice to keep a distance from this planet and not land on it.

But it is obvious that these scientists headed by Jessica are unlikely to accept his suggestion. Their strong desire to explore determines that they will deliberately ignore their own safety at this time, and are even willing to contribute valuable resources to human exploration. life.

"No, Captain Wang, the analysts have already sent the results. This planet has the necessary conditions for landing. Its gravity is about 1.15 times that of the Earth. The atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and oxygen, and the average temperature is 9 degrees. There is a very vast and solid surface on the left and right, which is simply the best choice for our human colonization! We must investigate the situation on the ground and lay a solid foundation for subsequent plans!”

The female scientist Jessica's expression was excited, and she directly pointed out that this planet is an excellent choice for human colonization. Even now, they are only observing it from high in space, and do not really know the situation on it.

"I can't stop you if you insist on going, but please try your best to cooperate with me and let my team clear the way for you to ensure basic safety."

Wang Zhifan, who had expected it, did not argue with the scientists when he saw this. He only asked them not to get too excited and to start ground exploration with him leisurely.

"No problem, Captain Wang. I will let the pilot fly into the planet's atmosphere and choose a suitable landing site."

As the real captain of the exploration team, Jessica immediately took action and activated the exclusive communication line to continuously communicate with the spacecraft pilot. Wang Zhifan, a security guard, waited patiently nearby, looking at the scene outside the porthole to obtain more information, while letting The clones under his command put on space suits or power armor and prepared for landing.

What needs to be mentioned here is that because various systems of the Guangshu, such as the oxygen and water circulation system and the gravity control system, are relatively complete, the people inside are usually in casual clothes and will not leave them alone if nothing happens. The bloated spacesuit was put on, so there was a scene like Wang Zhifan asking his men to start preparations.

Even he himself quickly put on his spacesuit and prepared to go out. The reason was that his excellent eyesight allowed him to see various scenes on the planet's surface, and he knew that the team of scientists would definitely be unable to restrain their desire to explore.

They were pieces of dilapidated gray mountains that were difficult to describe accurately, or gray cities. Black and gray structures as tall as mountains stood on the surface of the earth and gathered together. Their precise and detailed arc-shaped surfaces alone made people understand. They are by no means a natural product, and the small dots that are constantly moving around these giant beings, and even the occasional flash of fireworks, show that this planet is full of vitality, at least it seems so.

"This must be the planet that coordinates the civilization! It may even be their home planet! What? Tests show that there are a variety of biological activities on it? There are also carbon-based life that are suspected to be human beings?"

When Captain Jessica was amazed, she received more information from the spacecraft. Among them, the report of human beings found on the surface made her very puzzled, because the location of this planet is actually quite hidden, and it is difficult to find it without coordinates. Not to mention that it is very far away from Earth, the home planet of mankind.

And not everyone can achieve it by using super-light navigation. It is completely impossible for individual human explorers to have such a device at this stage. Even the empire itself, which controls all resources, has only succeeded in creating a few. Just eight hyperdrives.
