Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 541: The greatest career

Latest website: The instructor said hoarsely: "Dear students, the current distance between our planet and the big ice hockey puck at the back is about 202,200 kilometers, which is a deviation of 1.3% from the original estimate. Every ten years. The shortened distance is about 10,000 kilometers..."

The two planets do not revolve around each other, but in a form of back-to-back arrangement on almost the same orbit.

In other words, the two neutron stars circle the center of mass of the two neutron stars together in an elliptical motion.

However, the gravitational force between planets is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. The closer the two planets are, the greater the gravitational force will be, which will speed up the approach between them.

Currently, the distance shortened every ten years is about 10,000 kilometers, but in the following ten years, it may be shortened by 11,000 kilometers, and so on, eventually getting faster and faster, until they collide.

"... Therefore, we must maintain a stable construction speed and increase the driving force of the planetary engine to avoid collisions between planets."

Speaking of this, this time the special car for the social class finally reached the peak of the mountain. People saw countless excavators digging in a large basin, and trains transported and crushed these ore.

These ores are basically ordinary silicates and have no smelting value. They will become working fluids and sprayed out into violent plasma.

While Wang Haifeng and others, the future work is basically in this area. This project looks very simple, but it is actually very complicated. It starts with mining, then transportation, then smashing, and finally Turned into fuel.

A large-scale construction site requires a population of more than 100,000, and the number of robots and various machinery must be at least 10 million.

Although most of the work is automated, there will always be some mechanical failures and mechanical maintenance to be done.

The aging of parts is an inevitable problem in the universe. Even if the robots that maintain the machinery are still aging, complex production lines will produce various bugs, which require humans to deal with.

So after graduation, Wang Haifeng will join the excavation working group No. 009873 and become a very precise screw, dedicating his life.

Their future has been planned.

Everyone's eyes were slightly dull, as if frozen, looking at the hot scene in this large industrial base.

"Everyone, after this class, you are about to graduate... Do you have any questions you would like to ask?" the college counselor said again.

She is a gray-haired old man who is still struggling at work.

Four hundred years ago, the population of the new human civilization expanded to 100 million.

The huge population has brought enough labor, so that in 800 years, humans have completed more than 80% of the planetary engines! For the remaining 600 years, only the remaining 20% ​​needs to be completed.

However, with the passage of time, a large number of machines once purchased from the trading market began to depreciate. This is an overwhelming problem, so that the construction rate of planetary engines has gradually slowed down.

Plus, in the original agreement with the Interstellar Exchange Market, the future curvature spacecraft can only carry 40 million people at most.

So, the government plans to slowly recover from the current 78 million to below 40 million in the next 600 years.

As a result, changes in the demographic structure make aging people inevitable.

"Teacher, can you change a job, a slightly more interesting job." Suddenly, a boy next to Wang Haifeng said. After he finished speaking, many students trembled.

Although this site is magnificent, but...Could it be that they will stay here for the rest of their lives?

"Of course, if you have enough professional knowledge, you can make construction machinery. We will have many machinery that will be eliminated in the future. You can also go..."

"I mean, more interesting work."

"Interesting, what is an interesting job?"

"For example, rap singing, drawing cartoons, programming games, etc....you can choose your own work."

The counselor frowned, then smiled and said: "In the past, when the entire plan was not implemented, there were indeed many interesting laboratories where you could do the work you like. But now, these Laboratories have been banned. You can only engage in some scientific research work unless your grades are excellent to another level, or you can complete what you like in your spare time."

"After all, ordinary people like us are fighting for the greatest cause in the world."

All the students fell silent.

Suddenly, the boy said again: "The greatest career in the world is to use hundreds of thousands of excavators to dig this basin larger? Finally, scrape the entire planet's surface a few hundred meters? "

The boy's tone was strange, it seemed to be a sarcasm, with a hint of helplessness.

"Ah, yeah. This is the greatest career. My teacher taught me the same way at the beginning. She dedicated her life in this way, and so did I. Then, it's your turn."

Unexpectedly, the counselor did not refute.

Perhaps she thought about it the same way when she was young, but she is old now and will retire soon, and she doesn't think about such complicated things anymore.

I've been here all my life, what else can I think of?

The classmates were silent and did not speak.

The next stop was the big hockey puck behind the **** of "Planetary Fortress". Everyone boarded the spacecraft and went to the big hockey puck numbered "JS144" 200,000 kilometers away.

The temperature of this ice ball is even lower. Below minus 250 degrees Celsius, the thick layer of ice is harder than steel. At this temperature, all the gas forms a thick block of ice.

There are also some industrial bases above the hockey puck. Hydrogen fuel, oxygen, methane and various chemical substances are being mined. As long as the ice cubes are cut by robots and simple purification, these substances can be obtained.

Raising his head, Wang Haifeng saw the scary flame piercing the dark starry sky, as if it could pounce on their faces.

The planet in front of us with colorful rays of light is the planetary fortress that they have exhausted their efforts to develop.

Because of the different nuclei of the violent plasma light, the light that blooms is also different. Copper ions are blue, iron ions are yellow, and manganese ions appear pink. They are cooled and condensed here again, forming another Large areas of black haze.

This planet-chase battle will continue for at least four hundred years. Either mankind will completely triumph, or the two planets will collide with each other and fail completely. There will be no other results.

"Do you want to succeed~IndoMTL.com~ or fail?"

Seeing this scene, everyone was silent, even the original aggrieved boy, looking at the planet full of colorful lights, could not speak.

Some people thought of running away midway, escaping from this place, and abandoning the whole plan.

But they did not dare to speak out. Those brilliant ion flames seemed to ignite the entire civilization. Who dares to say escape, whoever is the sinner of history, the sinner of civilization.

Is it the greatest cause?

Who knows...

Who can define the so-called greatness?

Is it great to be a screw of society to finish my own work in a lifetime of trembling?

No one can answer.
