Chapter 544: Approaching the Neutron Star

In a blink of an eye, Wang Haifeng participated in the 196th year of work.

The days seem to be the same as before, with no changes, and it seems to have changed a lot.

With the rapid intensification of population aging, people's work pressure is getting greater and greater. In order to achieve work goals, the retirement age of the elderly has to continue for several years.

This policy has caused complaints from the public. It is fine if you work overtime a little, but you have to extend your retirement time. It is really unbearable. After working hard all your life, who doesn’t want to retire earlier?

On this day, the two planets once again approached the perigee of the elliptical orbit. This is the closest period to the neutron star, and they will use the gravitational slingshot effect again to accelerate the planet's body.

In the violent gravitational sea, all surface workers evacuated from the planet for safety reasons.

The two motherships squeezed more than 65 million people, which seemed quite crowded.

Wang Haifeng was assigned a single room of 14 square meters, but he refused the arrangements from his superiors and chose to live with his family. In short, it is also good to save some space...

With so many people crowded in the spacecraft, it was the first time to be heard. The commercial square was crowded with people, and various discussions and greetings between acquaintances were intertwined, which turned into the current new human civilization.

Wang Haifeng usually lives in a small town near the construction site, returns to the spacecraft about once every ten years, and becomes accustomed to a light life.

Listening to the noisy sounds and enjoying the exquisite food, he suddenly felt that this kind of excitement was actually quite good.

"Some people like life in big cities, and some people like life in rural areas. But most people still like lively cities."

Wang Haifeng saw an old man dressed in a very decent manner and was drinking in a restaurant in the corner. He was his former leader, a man with a bad temper but very knowledgeable man.

Wang Haifeng hurried over and said hello, "Old Li!"

"Old Wang!"

Then chat with each other.

The man glanced at Wang Haifeng, looked at the big screen in the restaurant, and sighed: "... Sometimes I wonder, if this planetary fortress was suddenly swallowed by a neutron star, or if there was another failure, could we stop doing this?"

Wang Haifeng laughed: "Of course! If this war star is really swallowed or torn apart, the Toss will not be able to blame us, and the government can only give up."

"We are all patient in our current state."

The man shook his head: "Yes, I think about it, but I'm reluctant to let it go. After it was swallowed, do we still have the courage to develop the second battle star? It's impossible! We have lost this courage... All our hopes are on this only battle star!"

"It's been two hundred years since I worked for nine to ten hours a day! I have to continue in the future until I can't open my eyes! Even people in the 21st century only work for eight hours!"

"But... if you don't work, you have to watch the planet collide. Is this a major regression of the times?"

"Does it go backward?" Wang Haifeng said: "In fact, there is no go backward. We eat well and wear well. What is this going backward? There are times in history when we can't eat enough even if we work hard."

"It's just that I haven't made any progress for too long and I've become a little tired."

The captain in the central square was making a speech, as if encouraging everyone: "...We must report hope. This is not the hope of our generation, but the previous generation, the previous generation, the next generation, the next generation. But we are very lucky, but we are mixed in the middle. We must fight for this for life."

"But such struggle is not meaningless! It trains our spiritual will... because our real world is just the starting point in life, and we will also face the future life in the virtual world..."

"This kind of exercise can make us face all kinds of temptations calmly, and the probability of passing the extraordinary person's assessment will become even greater..."

"Fuck the temptation, you will know to speak empty words all day long!" Mr. Li seemed a little drunk and spit out some swearing words.

No one cares whether the captain was telling the truth or not.

Criticizing the government has become a new trend.

Some people were contemplative, while others were drunk and were talking nonsense there.

A small number of people are still ambitious and look forward to the future, but most of them have been slowly eroded their patience.

Wang Haifeng was silent and didn't know how to describe this feeling. Some people can follow the situation, just like him, who thinks that this kind of life can still make a living, and what kind of work is not a job?

But some people also feel that life is unbearable at present.

This era seems to have undergone increasingly greater separation, and a few people in the distance are cheering, celebrating the completion of the second phase of the project. However, there is still a long project in the third phase of the project in the future, which will last at least four hundred years.

Some people hid in the corner and whispered, scolding the government's original choice, and scolding Captain Kelai's plan No. 17 chosen by him at that time.

Why do we have to make the construction period of the entire project so tense?

They are scolding the bad times of birth, and they become the generation who were sacrificed.

But no matter what, people have to work so hard to suppress their emotions and have no other choice...

This is the times!

Suddenly, all the discussions disappeared, and people seemed to have discovered something, and Qi Sensen looked at the big screen ahead.

On the colorful planet filled with ionic flames, the planet's engine roared the most violently, just like a tractor, spewing black gas when facing the abyss!

At this time, the driving force of the planetary engine compared with the gravity of the neutron star, like the gap between the firefly and the bright moon, and it has almost no effect. However, the smart computer still issued the most accurate instructions according to the equation set at the beginning.

The only thing that can play a role is the huge amount of inertia accumulated over thousands of years and precise calculations.

The earth was trembling and the planets were roaring, and they quickly passed the perihelion with the big ice hockey behind them.

A scream came from the crowd!

Some drunk men raised their heads, their emotions were complicated, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

The large ice hockey behind was quickly shortened to only 20,000 kilometers under the action of a gravitational slingshot.

The distance is so close that the two planets are about to collide due to the gravity attraction between them!

At this moment, suddenly, a block of rock and soil of a mass of trillions of tons was shot out from above the planetary fortress.

The word "ejection" should not be used, but was sucked out by the huge gravity of the neutron star.

It took tens of thousands of staff a hundred years to cut this long, large block of rock and soil that was even larger than a mountain.

When this block of rock and soil fell out from above the planet, the planetary fortress seemed to have changed slightly in a simple manner, and the distance from the ice hockey behind it was widened again.

Then there is the second, third, and fourth...

These ejected blocks of rock and soil will turn into stray meteorites. Their orbits are slightly lower than that, changing the momentum of the entire planet.

They will orbit around the two neutron stars for a long time. But eventually, these meteorites will fall on the neutron stars and become part of the neutron stars after a super explosion.

A total of 16 pieces of rock and soil were sucked out by the huge gravity of the neutron star.

Another piece hit the big ice hockey behind, causing a huge impact. The big ice hockey was smashed into a pit and brought out a huge amount of ice.

After this, the planetary fortress slightly deviated its movement direction, and passed by the big ice hockey behind it, and then the two sides completely disbanded.

After chasing each other for hundreds of years, the two planets eventually went their separate ways and would never meet again.

Just like the emotional world of many people, very few people can be together forever, and they will eventually have to part.

The whole thrilling process took about 15 days. Every morning when Wang Haifeng woke up, he would see a lot of people discussing in the central square whether the error in the entire process was within the range of the tolerance rate allowed.
Chapter completed!
