The Dragon Wing engine has unparalleled advantages. The plasma that would have been directly discharged will be reused by the magnetic engine to form an anti-gravity magnetic field environment. Especially with the development and establishment of the gravity representation formula, the magnetic engine technology has been further improved.
The Hope spacecraft is eight times larger than the original Civilization spacecraft, and the internal habitable space has reached a terrifying 300,000 square kilometers. Several residential layers surround the outer wall of the spacecraft, allowing 500 million people to live in it. Live in it with ease. This is actually a veritable artificial planet!
When the Hope spacecraft was originally built, it was built directly in the low-Earth orbit of Mars, because the sun's gravity here is much smaller, and the time to escape from the sun's gravity will be much shorter and easier.
Powerful technological power can ensure sufficient energy and food, allowing humans to survive healthily in space.
With the light blue flames and the solar sails covering the sky, everyone who saw the Hope spacecraft setting off couldn't help but exclaim.
Compared with the Civilization spacecraft, the scene of the Hope spacecraft is even more grand!
In order to provide sufficient light pressure and save energy as much as possible, a total of twelve groups of huge mirrors have been set up along the orbit of Venus. Each mirror is composed of tens of millions of small lenses, and their diameters are as high as Twenty-five thousand kilometers, almost twice the diameter of Venus! Its focused sunlight is launched directly into the sky and accurately positioned on the solar sail of the Hope spacecraft. The gold-plated sun sail is shining like a god, full of alternative majesty. In low-Earth orbit, the spacecraft's solar sail is more than ten times larger than the sun, and the reflected light even briefly increases the temperature of the Martian atmosphere. And under the influence of solar sails and Dragon Wing engines. The Hope spacecraft turned out to be moving in a nearly straight line. Heading straight for Aquarius.
The Civilization spacecraft back then even needed to hover within the solar system to increase the illumination time of the solar sail. Increase spaceship speed. But now, with the second spaceship, the Empire's technology has achieved a comprehensive breakthrough; the spacecraft rushed out almost in a straight line, and the overall acceleration was as high as 8 meters/second^2, which is relatively close to the Earth's standard gravity environment. It is enough to ensure the healthy survival of human beings in it for one year - as for one year from now, the spacecraft will reach 0.6 times the speed of light. At this time, the spacecraft will start to activate the rotating artificial gravity technology, and at the same time, the spacecraft will shut down the engine and rely entirely on inertia. Advance in space.
0.6 times the speed of light, exceeding the set speed of 0.55 times the speed of light for the Civilization spacecraft. But the Hope spacecraft is also powerful enough to ensure deceleration. There will be no accidents - for example, if you accidentally go too fast and overshoot: after crossing the target, you will rush back into the sky! Zhang Wenliang stood next to the porthole, quietly looking at the dark space. Years of exploration have allowed the empire to master most phenomena and laws in the solar system. However, Zhang Wenliang is more meditating now! Judging from the look on his father's face, this mission didn't seem to be that easy.
This trip to the Aquarius EZ galaxy to save the elves is the most important action in the history of human civilization. Regardless of success or failure, we must try our best to create a peace-loving flag for mankind; of course, success would be even better, and it can also add a kind of wisdom to the empire. Life - provided that this so-called elves are really "cute"; otherwise the empire won't mind using means to make you "be" cute!
As the second emperor of the empire, Zhang Wenliang is qualified enough to represent the empire as an envoy to Aquarius, and he has enough status to command those practitioners. In addition, it is also considered that if you want to integrate a race, you need equal dialogue, even in the form of oppression; and sending ordinary princes, grandsons, ordinary nobles, etc. is obviously not qualified.
"Hey, forget it, the spaceship has already taken off, it's too late to say anything. It's better to seize the time to upgrade your cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage. But half of the empire's cultivation masters were dispatched. Is my father making a fuss?" Zhang Wenliang muttered a few times. sentence, turned around and left.
After Zhang Wenliang left, Gao Chengyang came to the porthole soon, looking at the starry sky, his eyes full of excitement. When his master saved him from a critical illness and gave his family a new life and hope, Gao Chengyang completely dedicated his loyalty to his master. It even took nearly a hundred years to create and sort out the empire's practice world.
But in this era of space, in this era of interstellar expansion, every man has an ambition in his heart - to go out! Go see the outside world.
And now, finally there is a chance. Although Master estimates that there will be a fierce battle - the more the battle, the more excited the passionate man will be! . As for Gao Chengyang, as the second master in the empire after his master who has begun to enter the Yuan Shen stage, he also has his own dream of the starry sky.
I want to leave my legend in this universe! Looking at the starry sky outside, Gao Chengyang secretly set a goal for himself. With strong cultivation and a long lifespan, the next step must be the pursuit of fame and fortune; but in this era of interstellar expansion, what could be more exciting than being a national hero!
In May of the Imperial Calendar 97, after more than one standard year of acceleration, the spacecraft's speed climbed to 0.6 times the speed of light, and at this time it happened to escape the influence of the solar system. The spaceship is like a ghost in the starry sky. In the field of view of the astronomical telescope in the solar system, it flashes a few times and then disappears completely!
After Yihe reached the predetermined speed, the solar sail had gradually been retracted, and the spacecraft had turned off its engine and became completely silent. Perhaps, a sudden slow rotation. It can also show that this cold-looking object is actually a product of peak technology!
230 kilometers in length and 80 kilometers in diameter! The Hope spacecraft is like an artificial planet, rushing out of the solar system in one go!
With the departure of the Hope spacecraft, people's attention began to turn to several group companies on Earth and the Empire!
After these years of development, the earth finally made up its mind to build a spaceship. They also drew on the experience of empire. Collecting ores, meteorites, etc. from outer space as materials; today's moon, after many discussions between the two countries. Will be permanently preserved as a reserve resource - the moon, the sustenance of mankind's best wishes; if there are no accidents, mankind needs to ensure that the moon will exist forever!
However, the spacecraft built by the earth encountered an extremely embarrassing situation - how to use it!
To be precise, this spacecraft is 70 kilometers long and 20 kilometers in diameter; it can carry up to 8 million passengers, which is barely calculated. It's enough for a complete civilized immigrant. But now there is a very embarrassing question: Where should this spacecraft named "Light" fly to? Several living planets that have been discovered around them are all taken aback by the Chinese Empire. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with the Republic. Not to mention, Earth's "little" spaceship does not have the ability to travel more than ten light years!
However, the wisdom of all scientists on Earth cannot be underestimated. They decided to adopt another development path-imitating the empire's methods in a stable single star system. Artificially build habitable planets!
Nowadays, the technology of the Republic has certainly surpassed the technology of the original Empire, and it is still somewhat certain to build a planet. But whether it can succeed or not is really exciting.
The target of Earth's Guangming spacecraft is Barnard's Star, the closest single star system to the solar system, about 6 light-years away. This star is 10 billion years old, but because of its small mass and weak nuclear reaction, it is still in its prime. In recent years, scientists have observed that there are also rocky planets—Earth-like planets—inside this galaxy, but they are not suitable for life. The goal of the Earth this time is to directly use a spacecraft to drag the planet into impact and forcefully transform the planet with life, hoping to obtain a settlement suitable for humans.
In this regard, the Earth is ahead of the Empire - taking the lead in deciding to build a planet suitable for humans outside the solar system; for this reason, the Republic also purchased related artificial lightning-stimulating technology and equipment from the Empire.
But strictly speaking, this is a loophole taken by the Republic! While the Empire was fighting everywhere and busy shaping a future for mankind, the Republic was "stealing"; for this reason, citizens of the two countries were quarreling online. However, the empire, which owns two planets and whose population has begun to climb towards 15 billion, finally won the earth in a quarrel...
In fact, in reality, many people are not optimistic about such reckless behavior by the Republic. It’s not that the empire didn’t consider it, but it finally gave up! The Empire's concern is simple - are you sure there is enough rock material there for you to build a planet? Also, it takes ten years to build a planet, even an empire! This is still within the solar system.
But in a cosmic environment, there is only one solitary spacecraft, which increases the difficulty of this operation hundreds of times! Even if it is scientifically feasible, have you considered the fatigue of people themselves?
Wanting to use a spacecraft to collect resources in space and complete expansion in space is obviously beyond the capabilities of today's humans. On the other hand, the Republic was so hasty that the Empire expressed concern.
But to be honest, Zhang Wenfeng can understand the concerns of the leaders of the earth - the empire, which has the same origin and origin, has begun its second expedition and is preparing for its third expedition; but the earth is still spinning in circles. Even when the Empire has considered building one to three living planets in the former asteroid belt, the Republic still only has one Earth! Citizens of the Republic have also expressed concerns several times: now because Zhang Jingyuan and other older generation leaders are still alive, the empire and the Republic maintain friendly relations; but what will happen to the empire after these people leave? Maybe they will tear up the agreement and annex the earth! It was under such circumstances that the Republic resolutely decided to build a living planet on Barnard's Star! A large part of scientific progress comes from taking risks!
