Earth Era

? The rate of ascent of the space elevator has been increasing. Zhao Lan knew that this speed would eventually rise to more than five kilometers per second. Even so, it takes about three hours to get from the ground side of the space interaction base to the space side.

As the height increased, Zhao Lan finally saw the panoramic view of Mount Olympus. Although Zhao Lan has been to Mars several times, and has taken the space elevator several times, Zhao Lan is still a little excited when he sees this scene. This is Mars, which is tens of millions of kilometers away from its parent star. At this moment, as a human being, he is watching the scenery of Mars from the sky above Mars.

At this time, Zhao Lan would be proud of his human identity. Zhao Lan will be glad that he is a human rather than a horse or a pig, and he will be glad that he has enough wisdom to explore and think about this universe.

Mount Olympus eventually merged with the Martian earth and was never seen again. At this time, Zhao Lan can already see the whole picture of Mars. This huge fiery red planet was completely presented in Zhao Lan's eyes.

Zhao Lan retracted his gaze from above Mars and looked upwards. The bundle of thick cables on which the space elevator rests spreads straight into the endless pitch-black space, with no end in sight. There is a bright star in the distance of endless space. Zhao Lan knew that it was a space base. The light it emits does not reflect the sun, but comes from the light emitted by its own internal light source.

Above, an elevator descended rapidly, flashed in front of Zhao Lan at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, and quickly plunged into the vast land of Mars. After a few minutes, another elevator descended quickly...

That's the descending part of the space elevator. The space elevator connects the ground base and the spaceport. Naturally, it will not only have a function of upstream or downstream. Those descending elevators are full of various materials from the earth, and it is these materials that support the survival and development of Watson City...

Missing the elevators going down, Zhao Lan saw the bright Haishan Er again. Haishan Er still maintains its brightness, quietly radiating light in the quiet and deep space, looking extremely gorgeous. But Zhao Lan knew. This burst of light cannot last for too long. In about half a month, within a maximum of two months, the light of Haishan Er will gradually dim, and eventually completely disappear from the universe, and it will be impossible to see anything from that direction with the naked eye.

There will be a powerful black hole and a planetary nebula, and the name Haishan Er will become history.

A star dies. A black hole is born. This is the change and birth and death of the stars, for which humans can only look up.

As the height continued to increase, Zhao Lan felt that his body became lighter and lighter. The gravity that binds Zhao Lan is getting smaller and smaller. Zhao Lan knows that although he has been rising vertically. But Mars also has rotation, and as the radius increases, to move through the same angle in the same time, the orbiting speed relative to Mars will inevitably become higher and higher. So the gravity will be less and less. After a while, it is estimated that he will be completely weightless.

The constantly shining star above has finally changed from a bright spot to a face. So Zhao Lan knew that he was not far from the spaceport. The space elevator started to decelerate, and Zhao Lan, who had already sat in the seat in advance and restrained himself with the seat belt, felt the pressure of the seat belt on him.

If it weren't for the restraint of the seat belt, Zhao Lan would have already been flying. Because the space elevator is slowing down. Zhao Lan himself did not slow down, and the consequence of this was that Zhao Lan would fly to the ceiling of the space elevator.

The space elevator finally slid smoothly to the docking platform of the space port. The entire spaceport is a cylindrical structure that rotates by itself. With the help of centrifugal force, it creates an artificial gravity between Mars and Earth. So it was only at this moment that Zhao Lan got rid of the trouble of weightlessness.

The weightless environment is actually not wonderful. Because the human body structure itself has evolved for millions of years to adapt to the gravity of the earth, it is not good for the body to rush into a weightless environment.

Zhao Lan is already quite familiar with the spaceport. So after getting off the space elevator, Zhao Lan walked directly to a service window. After showing his ID, the service staff took Zhao Lan to the port by shuttle bus. Zhao Lan's Sylvia spacecraft was parked in one of the berths.

This process took another fifteen minutes of Zhao Lan's time. Show identification before arriving at the berth. Enter the password... Zhao Lan is very familiar with all this. However, when the huge screen door opened. What appeared in front of Zhao Lan was an empty berth. There was nothing there except the instrumentation that was in the berth itself.

Here, Zhao Lan did not see the familiar figure of the Sylvia spacecraft.

Zhao Lan's first reaction was that he had gone to the wrong place. But their identification can only open their own berth. Thinking of this, Zhao Lan dismissed the idea just now. At this moment, Zhao Lan was even thinking, did he remember it wrong, when he came to Watson City, did he not fly a spaceship, but came by ship?

But Zhao Lan clearly remembered that he had indeed come with the Sylvia spaceship, and had indeed parked it here... But what about the spaceship? Where did the ship go?

Zhao Lan looked at the service staff beside him, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on the forehead of the service staff. Not to mention Zhao Lan's special status, even the most ordinary civilian spacecraft is expensive to build. It is parked in the port, and the port has the responsibility of keeping it. If the spacecraft goes missing unexpectedly... this will undoubtedly be It was a big accident.

"Miss Zhao Lan, please wait a moment, I will contact the port supervisor immediately." The service staff said in a hurry, and hurriedly took out the communication equipment and began to report the situation to the management staff.

The mysterious disappearance of a ship has never happened in a spaceport. Every spaceship, whether it leaves or enters the port, will be strictly recorded by the port, and can only enter and exit after permission. If a spaceship disappears mysteriously, it proves that there is a serious problem with the security mechanism of the port, and the safety of the port is related to the survival of hundreds of thousands of people in Watson City. This is a major event, a major event that can alarm the leadership of human civilization.

"Where's my spaceship?" Zhao Lan muttered to himself, "It's clearly parked here... How could it be missing?"

Zhao Lan really wanted to rush to the Xinghai Sky Survey and Observation Base as quickly as possible, but at this moment, he encountered such a bizarre incident. A spaceship that was well anchored here disappeared inexplicably. But now the incident of Haishan II has completely occupied Zhao Lan's attention, which makes Zhao Lan not want to waste too much time here. Anyway, the port is responsible for the safekeeping of the spaceship. If the spaceship is lost, the port should naturally compensate itself for another one. So now, it's business to arrive at the observation base as quickly as possible to conduct research on Haishan II.

"Ms. Zhao Lan, the supervisor has received my report. They are organizing staff to check the incident. Please rest assured, the port will give you a satisfactory answer." The service staff wiped away sweat. Said, "On behalf of our port, I once again apologize for the inconvenience caused to you."

"I won't be busy talking about this for now." Zhao Lan said, "Which is the last ship to return to Earth? How long is the voyage? I ask the port side to immediately coordinate a spaceship for me to take me back to No. 7. Hong Kong, as for the specific compensation for the loss of my spaceship... My lawyer will contact you in the future."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you coordinate this matter." The service staff said hurriedly, and after leading Zhao Lan into the VIP room to rest, he quickly walked away to help Zhao Lan coordinate These things go.

So after waiting for another two hours, Zhao Lan finally boarded a cargo spaceship and embarked on a journey back to the sky survey observation base.

The Sky Survey Observation Base is near Port 7, which is one of hundreds of intermediate ports on the Earth-to-Mars waterway. Port No. 7 is about 20 million kilometers away from Mars at this moment. At the speed of this cargo spaceship, Zhao Lan needs about three days to arrive. This was a day later than the scheduled arrival in the Sylvia spacecraft.

But this is also something that can't be done. If you don't take this cargo ship, the next passenger ship to depart will be three days later. Zhao Lan couldn't wait that long.

The space in the cargo spaceship is small, and the living environment is very harsh. But at this moment, Zhao Lan can no longer care about these things. After three days of suffering like hell, Zhao Lan finally arrived at Port No. 7, and then transferred to the staff-only ship of the observation base. After spending another six hours~www.readwn.com~ finally Arrived at the Xinghai Sky Survey Observation Base.

Finally sitting in front of the special observation equipment, and finally seeing the wreckage after the eruption of Haishan II, Zhao Lan's whole mind was quickly immersed in this matter.

At this moment, relevant scientists in all human civilizations are watching Haishan Er, and relevant scientists in all human civilizations are analyzing the information collected from Haishan Er. The slightest changes in this huge star are affecting the hearts of scientists. And Zhao Lan is just an ordinary one among the countless scientists. (To be continued)
