Chapter 2042: Forward, Kuiper Belt
Let’s go!
Don’t stop!
After reporting to the headquarters to investigate the mysterious planet, the Victory Condor in the hangar was sent to the take-off port. The intelligent machinery cooperated with the ground crew to conduct necessary inspections of the Victory Condor before take-off, especially the space. Oxygen is crucial in the air, so you need to confirm the content again and again, and then prepare more in case of accidents.
Da! clatter! clatter!
Mimura Ryo skillfully carried out the pre-takeoff procedure checks, and passed each item smoothly with the green light. Even if it was the same every time, it had to be repeated carefully every time.
Because of the experience gained from countless lessons, a large part of it is due to the lack of careful inspection before taking off.
Details determine life!
This is a sentence that should be engraved in the heart of every pilot, but will be slowly worn away by time.
In contrast, Chiba Makoto and Asuka Nobu were much more leisurely. They entered the cabins of Alpha and Gamma from the gangway, fastened their seat belts and helmets, and checked The communication was normal, and then he sat and waited for departure. As for the flight control, the status of the assembly was maintained, and everything was left to Yumimura Ryo in the Beta cabin.
After the hangar was evacuated, the take-off hatch to the outside slowly opened, and the tower also sent a signal to allow take-off.
Ryoichi Mimura pushed the control lever, allowing the combination's God of Victory to The Gamma, which served as the main nozzle at the tail of the eagle, immediately ejected a stream of scorching particles, pushing the Victory Eagle slowly forward, flying out of the open hatch and heading towards the dark void of the universe.
After the speed reached a certain level, the Victory Condor was still some distance away from the Satan Space Station and Jupiter, so Yumimura Ryo immediately entered the communication channel of the same plane and said: "Captain Chiba, Team Asuka, no If there is a problem, the new Max power system will be turned on in thirty seconds and enter sub-light speed.”
“Okay!”
“No problem!”
After receiving a positive reply, Yumimura immediately started the countdown, stopped the conventional power engines, and converted the main nozzles of each machine to the New Max power system.
At the moment when the countdown reaches '0', the New Max power system is activated, and the starlight moves and extends. If anyone else is around, they can see that the Victory Condor suddenly increases in speed. In an instant, the fuselage seemed to be stretched into a thin strip. The nose of the plane ran out, but the tail of the plane still stayed in place. It felt like something in a cartoon. But in the next breath, everything disappeared before your eyes, and it was already at the horizon.
Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate again! ! !
The New Max engine is fully powered, with a maximum speed of Mach 110,000 and 37 million meters per second. It can basically circle the earth in a little over a second, but this is only a hundred times the speed of light. Twelve point five points.
On the scale of the universe, even the speed of light appears extremely slow.
But for the people in the cabin, it is a different experience.
The stars in the sky are sweeping back at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the starlight they emit is also stretched, but it is not in the shape of long strips, but in the shape of intermittent lines, which is the discontinuity of space. discontinuity phenomenon.
At this speed, conventional radar is of no use at all, even if it detects something ahead, it cannot be avoided.
This is like a human driving. If you drive too fast, when you see an obstacle in front of you, the car will rush to you and you won't even have enough time to turn the steering wheel, let alone avoid it. Therefore, although the Max power system was tested in 2005 and flew at ultra-fast speeds, when it was installed on the Atdis, it placed great speed restrictions because there was no Supporting radar and other equipment, barrier and other software.
The related supporting equipment and development work have been carried out for ten years before the Victory Condor that can reach full speed is produced.
After learning this, Chiba Makoto also somewhat understood why the Plasma Hundred Styles were sealed. It was because it was not just about speed, but other things had to keep up. Otherwise, no matter how fast the speed was, it would still be sent. Useless.
Just like the Plasma Hyundai, the speed can reach the speed of light, but it cannot communicate, the radar that uses electromagnetic waves, lasers, etc. to detect, the human naked eye, etc., are all useless. Such an aircraft, in the universe, Flying is no different from being deaf or blind. Basically, it is just walking with your eyes closed. It would be weird if you don't hit your head and bleed.
However, storage is by no means permanent. As human beings move towards the universe, the requirements for speed are also getting higher and higher. The sub-light speed New Max power system is gradually unable to satisfy human beings. demand, so the snack-driven navigation method whose initial speed can reach the speed of light will be reactivated sooner or later.
Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about their destination this time, a distance of 20 billion kilometers, even at the speed of light, it takes almost ten hours. If they want to go to Proxima Centauri, it will take several years. Time, if you think about it, suddenly it seems that it is not very fast.
This is the scale of the universe, even light appears to be crawling.
Time always moves faster and slower in relative terms. When the Victory Condor finally began to slow down, he saw a planet emitting gleaming light from a distance, 'hanging' in the dark universe. It is like a bright light in the sky, allowing people to see it at a glance among the stars. If your eyes are attracted to it, you will involuntarily want to go and take a look.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Yomimura Ryo murmured to himself, compared to the ‘lifeless’ rocks he saw along the way, this planet is so beautiful, it feels like The gem-like crystal clear feeling makes the earth pale in comparison.
“This planet can shine by itself.”
Asuka Shin, on the other hand, started shouting as if he had discovered a new world.
"Yes, this should be the reason why the surface of this planet is full of light."
Chiba Cheng was also stunned. No wonder there is not enough sunlight, but the surface of this planet is full of light. It's as bright as day, because the planet itself can shine. The surface of the planet is lush and full of life, probably because of the planet's own heat.
I have never heard of a planet that can generate its own light and heat, let alone seen it.
Oh, I’ve seen it before, it’s the Kingdom of Light, but the Kingdom of Light has an artificial plasma spark tower. Is it possible that this planet also has a similar device that emits light and heat?
Qianye Cheng thought this in his heart, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, because if there is such a device, it would be great for humans who are currently developing the universe, and its effect is definitely no less than that of Daisy The atmosphere modification device left by the people of the Star Galaxy.
If there is such a device, many places that are cold all year round because they are far away from the sun, even if there is no expensive artificial sun with limited light and heat, can be developed and utilized by humans and transformed into livable places. place.
