Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 544: Close to neutron star
The latest website: In a blink of an eye, Wang Haifeng participated in the 196th year of work.
Days seem to be the same as before, nothing has changed, and it seems to have changed a lot.
With the rapid intensification of population aging, people's work pressure is increasing. In order to accomplish their work goals, the retirement age of the elderly has to be extended for several years.
This policy has caused complaints among the people. Usually, a little overtime is fine. Even the retirement time has to be extended. It is really unbearable. It has worked hard for a lifetime. Who doesn't want to retire earlier?
On this day, the two planets once again approached the perigee of an elliptical orbit. This is the closest period of time to the neutron star, and the gravitational slingshot effect will be used again to accelerate the planet.
In the violent gravitational sea, all surface workers were evacuated from the planet for safety.
The two motherships crowded a population of more than 65 million, making them quite crowded.
Wang Haifeng was assigned a single room of 14 square meters, but he refused the arrangement of superiors and chose to live with his family. In short, it would be good to save a little space...
There were so many people in the spacecraft. It was the first time that the spacecraft was crowded with people. The crowds in the commercial plaza, the voices of various discussions and the greetings between acquaintances were intertwined and evolved into the current new human civilization.
Wang Haifeng usually lives in a small town near the construction site, returning to the spacecraft about once every ten years, and is accustomed to a light life.
Listening to all kinds of noisy sounds and enjoying the exquisite food, he suddenly felt that this kind of excitement is actually quite good.
"Some people like life in big cities, and some people like life in the country. But most people still like lively cities."
Wang Haifeng saw a very well-dressed old man drinking in the corner restaurant. He was his former leader, a man with a bad temper and a very knowledgeable but very knowledgeable man.
Wang Haifeng hurried over and said hello, "Old Li!"
"Pharaoh!"
Then chatted with each other.
The man caught a glimpse of Wang Haifeng, then looked at the big screen in the restaurant, and sighed: "...Sometimes I think, if this planetary fortress is suddenly swallowed by a neutron star, or something else happens. Failure, can we not do this?"
Wang Haifeng laughed: "Of course! If this battle star is really swallowed or torn apart, the Thos can't blame us, and the government can only give up."
"Our current state, everyone is patient."
The man shook his head: "Yes, I want to return, but I don't want to. After it is swallowed, do we still have the courage to develop a second battle star? It's impossible! We have lost this. This kind of courage...All our hope is on this only battle star!"
"Working nine to ten hours a day, it has been two hundred years! The future will have to continue until you can't open your eyes! Even people in the 21st century only work eight hours!"
"But... if you don't work, you have to watch the planet collide. Is this a big setback of the times?"
"Regression?" Wang Haifeng said: "In fact, there is no regression. We eat well and dress well. What kind of regression is this? In history, there are times when we work hard and can't eat enough."
"It's just that I haven't made any progress for too long, and I have become a little tired."
The captain on the central square is giving a speech, seeming to encourage everyone: "...We must report hope. This is not the hope of our generation, but the previous generation, the previous generation, the next generation, and the next generation. . It’s just that we are very lucky, but we are mixed in the middle. We have to fight for this for life."
"But this kind of struggle is not meaningless! It exercises our spiritual will... Because our real world is just the starting point in life, and we will face the future life in the virtual world..."
"This kind of exercise can allow us to face all kinds of temptations, and the probability of passing the assessment of the extraordinary will become greater..."
"Go to **** temptation, all day long I know to speak empty words!" The Mr. Li seemed to be a little drunk, and he spit out some curse words.
No one cares whether the captain is telling the truth or not.
Criticizing the government has become a new trend.
Some people have thoughts on their faces, and some are drunk and talk nonsense there.
A small number of people are still ambitious and looking forward to the future, but most of them have slowly lost their patience.
Wang Haifeng was silent, wondering how to describe this feeling. Some people are able to go with the situation, just like him, who feel that this kind of life can still make a living. What kind of work is not a job?
But some people feel that the current life is unbearable.
This era seems to have become more and more fragmented. A small group of people in the distance are cheering and celebrating the completion of the second phase of the major project. However, in the future there will be a third stage of the long project, which will last for at least 400 years.
Some people hid in the corner and cursed quietly, cursing the government's original choice, and cursing the No.17 plan chosen by Captain Colay at that time.
Why make the entire project schedule so tight!
They were not good at the time when they were born. They became a generation of sacrificed people.
But no matter what, people have to work hard like this, suppress their emotions, and have no other choice...
This is the time!
Suddenly, all the sounds of discussion disappeared. People seemed to have discovered something. Qi Sensen looked at the big screen in front of him.
On that colorful planet full of ion flames, the planetary engine roared the most violently, just like a tractor, jetting out black gas when it was pulled by the abyss!
At this time, the thrust of the planetary engine compares the gravitational force of the neutron star, just like the gap between the fireflies and the bright moon. It has almost no effect. However, the smart computer still sends out the most accurate formula according to the originally set equation. instruction.
The only thing that can play a role is the huge inertia accumulated by the planet over thousands of years, as well as precise calculations.
The earth is trembling, the planets are roaring, and with the big ice puck behind them, they quickly pass the perihelion.
There was a scream from the crowd!
Some drunk and drunk men raised their heads with mixed emotions, not knowing what they were thinking.
The large hockey puck at the rear is far from the entire planetary fortress in front, and under the action of a gravitational slingshot, it quickly shortens to only 20,000 kilometers.
This distance is too close. Seeing that the two planets are about to collide due to the gravitational attraction between each other!
At this moment, suddenly, a block of rock and soil with a mass of one trillion tons was thrown out from above the planetary fortress.
The word "projection" should not be used, but the huge gravity of the neutron star will be alive and sucked out.
In order to cut this long piece of rock and soil, which is larger than a mountain, tens of thousands of workers took a full 100 years.
When this rock and soil fell out of the planet, the planetary fortress seemed to change its direction a little bit, and the distance between it and the ice ball behind it increased again.
Followed by the second block, the third block, the fourth block...
The masses of rock and soil thrown out will become wandering meteorites, their orbits are a little lower, changing the momentum of the entire planet.
They will orbit the two neutron stars for a long, long time. But in the end, these meteorites will fall on the neutron star, and after the super explosion, they will become part of the neutron star~IndoMTL.com~A total of 16 rock and soil blocks are sucked out by the neutron star's huge gravity.
There was also a large hockey puck that hit the rear, causing a huge impact. The big hockey puck was smashed into a pit, setting off a huge amount of ice flakes.
After this time, the planetary fortress slightly deflected its direction of movement, and passed by the big ice puck behind, and then the two sides completely separated.
After the two planets have chased each other for hundreds of years, they will eventually go their separate ways and never see each other again.
Just like the emotional world of so many people, there are very few who can stay together forever, and in the end, they have to leave.
The entire thrilling process took about 15 days. Every morning when he gets up, Wang Haifeng will see a large number of people discussing in the central square whether the error of the whole process is within the allowable range of the fault tolerance rate.
Some people are sighing. Seeing that the whole plan is almost successful, the planetary fortress has not been swallowed by the neutron star, it has successfully survived.
