Who still falls in love in the interstellar era?

Chapter 99 Caesar Star Terminal Spaceport Apollodorus
At this time, Wang Chao was lamenting that this era is really strange. It can exceed the speed of light. As a result, it takes so long to transfer from a high orbit of a planet to a low-Earth orbit. Transfer is a term in space navigation, which refers to changing from one orbit to another. A track process.Wang Chao learned it by playing Kerbal Space Program before time traveling.

Forget it, after all, humans in this era are lame, and the gravity engine forces the spacecraft out of normal space, which is equivalent to taking a shortcut.

Without taking this shortcut, the highest speed that humans can achieve is only three thousandths of the speed of light, which is 900 kilometers per second. This is a speed that can only be reached by continuously accelerating for a long time.

The result of this lameness is that it takes two days for Wang Chao's new spacecraft to transfer from the high orbit of the planet to the low Earth orbit, which is much longer than the time it takes to cross hundreds of light years.

Of course, this speed is much less than the time in the Kerbal Space Program that Wang Chao is familiar with. However, time is accelerated in the game, and you don't really need to wait that long for the spacecraft to enter orbit.

But now Wang Chao can only wait for two days.

Originally, he thought that now that he was within the network coverage of the planet, it would be easy to pass the time online.However, he underestimated the enormity of the universe.

The delay caused by distance and the low bandwidth made Wang Chao feel like he had returned to the era of dial-up Internet access.

Wang Chao had only experienced this kind of experience of waiting several seconds to open a picture when he was very young.

The only good thing is that there is Lily on the boat. She can perform songs and dances for Wang Chao every day. After dancing, she can also play sumo wrestling. It is a good helper to pass the time.

Liefeng was just a little bit worse, and would only seek advice from Wang Chao.Of course Gale can also play sumo wrestling, but she is a bit too wild. Maybe the former Neptune King could accept it, but now this King can't stand it.

After finally completing the two-day transfer flight, the Jackdaw docked at Apollodorus, the terminal spaceport of Caesar Star.

In this era, due to the popularization of gravity engines, the journey from the surface to space has been simplified a lot. The gravity engines can not only squeeze the spacecraft out of normal space, but also help the spacecraft resist the gravity of the planet.

Under the current technical conditions, the "initial distance" from the ground to low-Earth orbit is actually just a cost-effectiveness issue.

A spacecraft like the Jackdaw that enters and exits the atmosphere directly is definitely very cost-effective.

In order to improve cost-efficiency, all major civilization circles have used short-distance cargo spacecraft specifically responsible for this "initial distance".

The characteristics of this kind of spacecraft are that it has a very low weight, a very small fuel tank, and some even have no life support device at all. To carry people on it, the people on it must wear spacesuits.

The terminal spaceport Apollodorus is the transfer station for such short-distance cargo spacecraft.

When entering the port, Wang Chao saw this short-distance spacecraft: it looked like a large number of containers welded together with a gravity engine and thruster.

This kind of thing is indeed extremely cost-effective.

When Wang Chao lamented this, Ni Miao was complaining about the name of the space station: "Isn't Apollodorus a painter in ancient Greece? Why do these Roman connoisseurs call the space station this name?"

"Maybe people think that Rome is Greece. Look at the famous song 'You Will Come Back Like Lightning', which is a Greek song."

Wang Chao couldn't help but think of the days when he mocked the Roman brats on the Internet for not being able to tell the difference between Greece and Rome before time travel.

While he was recalling those years, Lily asked: "There is music playing in the space outside."

The spaceport of Apollodorus has a gravity barrier, which prevents the air in the port area from escaping into outer space.With this design, short-distance cargo spacecraft do not need to install airlocks and airtight measures.

This design also ensures that music can be played in the port.

Wang Chao checked the receiving device outside the spacecraft - no spacecraft will install sound receiving equipment outside the cabin, but every spacecraft will have a stress sensor to monitor the stress structure of the spacecraft. This thing can also record the stress on the surface of the hull. Shock waves.

Sound is also a kind of shock wave, so as long as there is a suitable restoration algorithm, the sound can be restored through the sensor data.

The music playing at the port outside made Wang Chao frown.

Because "Ceddin Deden" is playing outside. Yes, this is the military song of the Ottomans who destroyed Byzantium, the Eastern Roman Empire.

Wang Chao didn't know for a while whether this was a joke or whether after 300 years of rumors, "Ceddin Deden" was really regarded as the music of Rome.

He looked at the mainly red and yellow colors of the port outside, and became more and more inclined to think that this was a joke that had been played for hundreds of years and then taken seriously.

At this time, Nimiao suddenly noticed the blind spot: "Lily, how did you know that music was playing outside? The sound insulation of the spacecraft is so good, we can only restore the music through the stress sensor readings of the spacecraft!"

Wang Chao: "Maybe it's because she has super powers."

With the "help" of the United Star Cluster, Lily's superpower has been determined to be a sonic ability, so it is normal for her to be particularly sensitive to sounds.

At this time, a small spacecraft arrived outside the Jackdaw, which had just entered the berth, and a communication request also came at the same time.

"Hello, we are the special reception officers of the United Star Cluster Senate."

Wang Chao asked back: "Another AI-controlled synthetic human?"

"Ah, no, this time I am a real person. So I hope you can restrain your charlatanism and don't kill me casually. If I am killed, I will die."

Before Wang Chao expressed his opinion, Nimiao commented: "He is definitely the kind of guy who obviously has no sense of humor, but still thinks he is very humorous. He is one of the types I hate the most."

"What about me?" Wang Chao asked.

Nimiao: "It's not bad, at least you do have a sense of humor sometimes."

Just sometimes...

Wang Chao responded: "Permission to dock, welcome aboard." "Ah, no need. My main task is to welcome you to the Senate Building in the center of the space station. I should invite you to board the ship."

Wang Chao: "Then we have to connect first."

"Okay. Now enter the docking process."

After a while, the airlock door opened, and Wang Chao saw the special receptionist himself and his entourage.

The thing in the attendant's hand made Wang Chao narrow his eyes: "You are a receptionist, why is your attendant holding... holding a gun?"

"According to the rules of the United Star Cluster, anyone with the title of 'Special Mission' will be followed by an entourage holding this thing, which represents the highest authorization of the Senate." The receptionist said proudly, holding his head high.

Wang Chao: "Oh, I understand, this is equivalent to the Shangfang Sword issued to you."

The "special" receptionist emphasized: "It's ***."

"It's all the same, don't worry about the name. Anyway, let's go." Wang Chao said, looking back at Lily, taking her hand and getting on the small reception boat, and sat down by the window.

Lily wore a thick, bulletproof carbon nanofiber coat today.

Wang Chao originally thought that even Lily wouldn't be able to get horny if she wore this thing, but he didn't expect that he underestimated the power of his wife.

As long as you have a good figure, any clothes can be colored.

The receptionist frowned when he saw everyone on Wang Chao's side boarding the ship: "Aren't you... going to leave some people to guard the ship?"

Wang Chao thought to himself, I also want to keep some people, but there are four people on my side, and one of them will be easily defeated by each one, so he can only take them all with him.

Few people are like this.

The receptionist and the attendant holding the gun exchanged glances.

At this time, Nimiao said in the communication: "I hacked into their communication and lurked. Now the decoded content of the communication is displayed on your human-machine interface in an augmented reality way."

After speaking, text appeared above the heads of the receptionist and the attendant in Wang Chao's field of vision - similar to the dialog box in the comics - which displayed the content of their exchange in the encrypted communication.

Receptionist: "What should we do? Do we want to sneak into their spacecraft and search it?"

Follower: "I suggest not. It might be a trap. Organization X must have some back-up plan."

Receptionist: "But the Three Sage System believes that the existing intelligence proves that Organization X is not as powerful as we guessed..."

The three sages guessed it right. Damn it, the super AI is not that easy to fool.

While Wang Chao was thinking this, text popped up on his head: "Don't blindly trust AI's judgment. The biggest reason why we can achieve our current development is that we only use 70.00% of AI's judgment, and the remaining 30.00% is It’s important.”

No, at least the AI's judgment is correct in this matter, and you are holding back the AI.

At this time, the receptionist made a decision: "Okay, if we don't want to sneak into the spacecraft to search, let's set off."

The moment these words appeared above his head, the receptionist spoke: "Well, now that everyone has taken their seats, we will leave for the Senate Building immediately."

Wang Chao: "Let's go."

While saying this, Wang Chao asked his superego to ask Nimiao in sign language: "Could we have been invaded by them too? Is this what they were showing us?"

Nimiao also responded with her superego: "At least I haven't found any traces of the invasion so far, but the Three Sages system is on this space station, so it's hard to say. I need the support of external computing power and cooling system to defeat Super computer.

"In addition, the data link can also be intercepted. If the other party does not interfere, we will not even know that the communication signal has been intercepted. With the computing power of AI, cracking it just depends on whether you want to or not."

Wang Chao was speechless. He was extremely lucky that he still had the superego, an illusion common to superpowers, that could take on the task of communication.

Although there is one person who just makes her mechanical rabbit dance.

The airlock door of the small spacecraft was closed, the spacecraft was unlocked from the Jackdaw and flew towards the space port.

**
At the same time, Helena Frost, who was wanted heavily by the Senate, had just stepped out of the airlock of the small spaceship.

Her current identity is Kingsley, a special investigator of the Senate - of course this identity is forged, but in Helena's many years of deception, she has discovered one thing, that is, identities with the prefix "special" are particularly difficult to detect. Debunked.

At least in the United Star Cluster, many people get scared when they see the "special mission" prefix.

Especially when Helena puts on this gorgeous dress with gold and red.

Helena put her hands on her hips and looked at the traffic ship passing through the port area.

——Wang Chao, next we have to see if you really think like that.

I'm still pretty good-looking.
