Earth Era

The Xinghai spacecraft is very large, with a total length of more than 200 meters and a height of almost 40 meters. It looks like a cylinder on the whole, but it is much richer in details. There are many uneven places, where many detection and observation instruments are installed, and high-power and high-sensitivity antennas for contacting the earth are also installed there.

The total mass of this spacecraft is as high as more than 200,000 tons. Such a large spaceship can only accommodate the next person. It's not that human civilization doesn't want to send a few more astronauts to go with Wei Feng. The key point is that each additional person must have an additional person's life reserve, food, drinking water, oxygen, temperature control equipment, including the energy supply of the hibernation box. It needs to be doubled. This is unbearable with the existing technology of human civilization. Therefore, after many trade-offs, human civilization finally made the decision to send an astronaut to the South Gate Two Galaxy.

Although this decision greatly increases the risk - after all, after a person is alone for a long time, there will always be many psychological or physical accidents - but human civilization has to take this risk, and human civilization must be aware of the reality compromise.

In the planning of human civilization, the entire island plan is divided into two parts, one of which is naturally the Xinghai spacecraft, which is controlled by Wei Feng, and the other part is located in the solar system. This section consists of a research institute located above Earth and eight large antennas located beyond the orbit of Mars. Each of these eight large antennas has a diameter of more than 200 meters, and they revolve around the sun at a stable speed. At least four antennas are aimed at the direction of the Xinghai spacecraft at every moment. If the earth is any indication, people will communicate with the wind through these antennas. At the same time, the signal sent by Weifeng will also be received by these eight large antennas.

Wei Feng knew that after the Xinghai spacecraft was launched, these antennas were the only link between him and human civilization.

After a series of complicated ceremonies. Wei Feng finally entered the Xinghai spacecraft and came to the control cabin. The control cabin is designed to resemble a conference room, with a chair in the middle. In front of the chair is a console. Weifeng will control the entire spacecraft through this console and the artificial intelligence "Yeluo".

Ye Luo's voice was designed to be a neutral tone that can't be heard from men and women, just like the voices of young men and women who haven't gone through the period of voice change. After Wei Feng took his place. Ye Luo's voice came over: "Captain, please give your order."

"Let's go." Wei Feng said blankly.

"Okay." Ye Luo replied, "I have received the navigation parameters sent by Jupiter Port, and I will control the spacecraft to leave Jupiter."

Wei Feng felt a slight vibration, and then a force pressed himself against the back of the chair. This force is not large, so Wei Feng adapts to the existence of this force after a while. Wei Feng knew that this was because of the overload pressure brought on by the acceleration of the spacecraft. If there are no surprises, this pressure will continue for three months. After three months of uninterrupted acceleration, the speed of the Xinghai spacecraft will rise to 3,000 kilometers per second, and then it will stop accelerating and enter the inertial navigation phase, and it will not start the main engine again until hundreds of years later. .

The Xinghai spacecraft has its own artificial gravity system. Of course, for the current human civilization, anti-gravity technology is still in fantasy. The artificial gravity on the Xinghai spacecraft is created by self-rotation. But this will bring about a very strange phenomenon. Whether Wei Feng looked left or right, he could see a wall with a clear arc, extending all the way to the top of his head. Then close there. There is also a table above the head, which is Weifeng's entertainment table, where there are some equipment for Weifeng to spend time. Those devices were placed on the table above Wei Feng's head without any fixation. But they don't fall off.

If Wei Feng wants to go there, he just needs to walk there along the wall. When Wei Feng, Chu Hai and others saw the Xinghai spacecraft for the first time, Chu Hai once summed up the situation in a very succinct sentence: "It's like we live in a steel pipe, Every tube wall has a gravity equivalent to that of the Earth."

This is the vision of artificial gravity created by self-rotation.

After the spacecraft started, Wei Feng left his seat and walked to the communication station. In the process of walking, Wei Feng had to tilt his body forward a little to resist the ubiquitous inertial force caused by acceleration, just like standing on a bus that is accelerating.

The press conference in Jupiter Harbor was still displayed on the communication station. The head of state held a grand press conference there, informing the entire human civilization of the events related to the voyage of the Xinghai spacecraft. Follow a pre-established release process. After the spacecraft was launched, it was the turn of Wei Feng, who was in the spacecraft, to say something.

Wei Feng stood in front of the communication station. People in Jupiter Harbor also saw Wei Feng with a serious expression and unsmiling expression from the big screen. Everyone quieted down and waited for Wei Feng to say something. Wei Feng originally planned to say some heroic words to stimulate the blood in people's hearts, but Wei Feng suddenly couldn't say those words.

After a long silence, Wei Feng said, "My compatriots... See you in nine hundred years. I will definitely come back as promised and bring gifts from the Nanmen two galaxies to our human civilization."

Nine hundred years... that's a desperately long time. Except for Wei Feng, everyone present did not live to that time. For them, this was the last time they saw Wei Feng, and for Wei Feng, it was the last time they saw them.

The warm atmosphere before was washed away by Wei Feng's words and disappeared without a trace. Even the smiling head of state became silent. Because everyone knows what nine hundred years really means.

In the silence, Wei Feng resisted the tears that were about to flow from his eyes, and continued with a heavy nasal voice: "I'm leaving, I hope everyone take care."

"You also have to take care." The head of state said as if telling a child who was about to leave home, "When you go out...be careful about everything. It's better to be outside than at home, and you must put yourself first in everything you encounter. , don't take risks, as long as you can come back well."

Wei Feng nodded heavily: "Please rest assured, Head of State, I will come back safely!"

The head of state solemnly raised his right hand to the brow, and gave a standard military salute to Wei Feng. Following the action of the head of state, everyone present raised their hands at the same time. Wei Feng held back his tears, stood in front of the communication station, and returned a standard military salute.

"Goodbye then."

"goodbye."

The communication station was closed, Wei Feng left here, and before the porthole of the spacecraft, he quietly looked at the huge gaseous planet in the distance and the small black dots that revolved around it.

The Xinghai spacecraft has been accelerating, and in Wei Feng's eyes, Jupiter's shrinking rate has also been accelerating. Until Jupiter was reduced to a point of light, details could no longer be discerned. At this moment, five days have passed since Wei Feng left Jupiter Harbor. At this moment, Jupiter is the second brightest star in Wei Feng's field of vision, the first bright star is the sun, and the third brightest star is Uranus.

When Wei Feng passed the orbit of Uranus, the people in the Uranus base sent dozens of spacecraft to **** the Xinghai spacecraft, and they gradually retreated after following Wei Feng for millions of kilometers. When passing through Neptune's orbit, although Neptune had moved far away from Wei Feng at this moment, the people at Neptune Base still sent more than a dozen spacecraft to **** Wei Feng, and also followed Wei Feng for several million kilometers. When Pluto's orbit was reached, although Pluto was still far away from Wei Feng at the moment, Wei Feng still saw the **** spacecraft sent by the Pluto base waiting for him next to his forward orbit. It's just that there are fewer of them, only seven.

When passing by the orbit of Eris, the people of the Eris base sent a spaceship. When passing by the Sedna base, Wei Feng only received a message full of blessings, but he never saw the **** spaceship again.

Just like the frontiers of ancient empires ~www.readwn.com~ The closer you get to the frontier, the less control a civilization has. This is the boundary of the solar system, and generally no one will come here except for scientific research needs. It's desolate, cold, lonely, and sparsely populated. And such a place is only the starting point of Wei Feng's journey.

There are several scientific research bases further away from the Sedna base, and the scale of those bases is even smaller. Some bases don't even have permanent personnel, and only some automatic working instruments are there. But beyond Wei Feng's expectations, no matter whether there are staff in the base, no matter how far Wei Feng is from their base, when Wei Feng passes through their orbit, Wei Feng will receive a sincere greeting.

But after Wei Feng was further away from the sun, there were no words of blessing. There are no longer any large-scale bases here, and there are only some probes launched by human civilization that are constantly moving away from the sun.

Wei Feng knew that he had reached the edge of the heliosphere, and that he would officially leave the solar system soon. Wei Feng looked back and found that the sun was still bright, but Wei Feng could no longer figure out the essential difference between it and the rest of the stars. (To be continued)
