Chapter 4: The First Dawn Machine
Even the next day, Lu Yuan was still listless.
He finally couldn't help but go to see the laser cannons yesterday. It was really huge and powerful! The diameter of the root of a laser probe was as thick as one meter! The entire transparent crystal material pointed forward like a spear, elegant and slender. It is said that every strike can crush a meteorite with a mass of less than 30 tons, and the shooting frequency is extremely fast, and it can shoot 4-6 times per second, which is a great value.
If this thing is in World War II, the tanks in the world will not be enough to destroy it. Of course, its extremely high firing rate also originated from the extremely high energy recycling technology in the 26th century. The heat of the probe itself is quickly absorbed, and it is stored again into electricity, waiting for it to be launched again.
Lu Yuan simulated a few times and lost interest. This thing is great! But when he put it on the Dawn number, it is like a toothpick inserted into a giant, which is boring!
Since talking to Lu Yuan yesterday and finding that talking to him is not as difficult as expected, Mu Xing became obsessed with chatting with him. For the sake of his surname Fu, Mu Xing also tried his best to leave all the contact time for Mu Xing and encouraged her to have more contact with Lu Yuan. The two of them were wearing two bodies at the same time. Now every time they came to Lu Yuan, they were shorter and smaller Mu Xing.
"Ayuan, I'm sorry." Mu Xing sat down next to him. "Actually, my father also hopes to add more weapons and equipment. I am opposing it. Because a fully charged tablet battery can theoretically only send objects twice its mass to one hundred light years. In addition to carrying four million people, our spacecraft also needs a gene bank, a species bank, a biological bank, a data bank, etc., as well as a vehicle, equipment, light weapons, energy, infrastructure, etc. that can carry too much. What's more, there are supplies that need to be consumed during the journey. If four million people wake up, the reserved emergency supplies, etc.... Do you know how heavy I used to be?"
Lu Yuan was already attracted by what she said. When he heard this, he looked up and down at Mu Xing. Her body was a little thinner, about less than ninety kilograms. "One hundred kilograms?"
"One Hundred and Twenty! Hehe, I'm a fat girl?" Mu Xing was a little shy, but he liked to talk to him about these somewhat private topics. She continued, "But if you want to get on the boat, one of the hard names is weight... you must be kept at the limit of your health level and the lowest limit."
She remembered some bad things and her face turned pale - because people at the limit of health enter dormant, some people will not be able to hold on and die during dormancy, then his body will be cleared out immediately... If it were not for the new legislation, according to the practice of the first immigration spacecraft, the body would be used as recycled substances...
Lu Yuan was used to holding her shoulders, but Mu Xing was shaking as if he was about to faint. Lu Yuan could only settle for the second best and instead held her hands.
"Even if you are the designer of this boat, you can't make an exception?"
"Even if I am a designer, I can't make an exception!" Mu Xing answered very resolutely. Lu Yuan was silent. Faced with the dilemma of mankind, the political axe still had such a powerful ability to maintain order. That era was really admirable! Lu Yuan could imagine that spacecraft that collected solar energy kept coming and going between the sun and the earth and the moon for a long time and night, transporting a large number of flat-panel batteries. On Jupiter's orbital space station, countless people were working hard to design and build the "Dawn" spacecraft; and in the Earth and Moon Federation, people filled out forms to apply for boarding, then had physical examinations, lost weight, learned knowledge (only this one does not occupy a weight), prepared luggage, and bid farewell to their relatives...
"By the way, Mu Xing, I have a question I don't know if I should ask... Haha, you know, I may have returned all my astronomical knowledge to the teacher, especially when I was in the 21st century university..."
"It's okay, I think A Yuan is super awesome!"
Lu Yuan opened his mouth wide, but felt even more embarrassing after asking, "Well, Mu Xing, I don't know if I remembered it wrong... The star closest to Earth is 'Centaur a', right? I remember that the distance seems to be only four or five light years? Why don't you go there?"
"A Yuan remembers correctly. It is Proxima Centauri, the third star of the triad star of Centauri, 4.2421 light-years away from us..." Mu Xing's face showed a complicated expression, "Dawn can speed up to 91% of the speed of light. If it were there, maybe we would have arrived long ago. Unfortunately... it is fake..."
"Fake?" Lu Yuan gestured in confusion, "What fake? Did astronomers calculate wrongly?"
"No... that star, Proxima Centauri, does not exist at all! Although all the tests tell us that there is a star there. But the exploration spacecraft we sent in the 24th century brought back news, there was nothing there! Later, we experimented with countless ways to measure it, but it was not until the beginning of the 25th century that there was a way to truly measure the difference between a real star and a fake star. Mass, only mass will not be faked..."
As Mu Xing said, tears flowed down his eyes, "In that era, people were so desperate! Even if I only saw it from books, I could still feel it... Ayuan, you don't know that loneliness and despair... Barnard Star? Fake. Luhman16? Fake. Wolf359? Or fake. Whether Sirius or Tianyuan Four... Fake, fake, all fake! Humans seem to live in the abandoned corner of the universe, lonely and unable to find any neighbors in the world! This is a blow to the human being who has just begun traveling to the universe! "
"How is this possible? Are you saying that when I look up at the stars on summer nights, I see phantoms? And Tianyuan Si, these are famous stars in many science fiction novels and movies! Then you..."
"In 2531, humans discovered the gj1977 star, which was determined to be a real star, 135.4536 light years from the earth... This is the closest star known! Since then, humans have begun plans for large immigration... We do not want to live in the dark universe, nor do we want to live in illusions!"
"What kind of illusion is that? Is it naturally generated?"
"No, although we don't know the principle, it is obviously not formed naturally. We don't know which race sets up illusions to deceive us. In short, except for some of the parameters about large mass, these stars are almost the same as normal. We can observe its star cycle, observe its planets, and even receive various rays emitted from it... As long as we do not measure the series of changes in mass, heat, and light at close range, we cannot know that this is an illusion, which covers the illusion of hundreds of light years near the solar system! It has also deceived humans for thousands of years.
A Yuan, what race does it do? What purpose? We know nothing! Even... Did the escape of Dawn have alarmed them? Are they chasing them? Are they hiding in the dark and staring at us? We also know nothing! Sometimes everyone thinks that if the people behind the scenes appear in front of us, everyone may easily choose to surrender! Whether it is life or death, it is better than the unknown! If I had not met Nana and you, I would also choose to give up. The technical gap with the latter was so big that it could not be caught up. Maybe the humans on the entire spacecraft are like this! But Nana and you have brought me and given us new hope!
You do not belong to this world! You have magical power! You can bring back reasonable and unreasonable technologies from all worlds! Let Dawn make a big leap! With you here, we may win! I once thought, one day I will seize the mastermind behind the scenes! Whether it is good intentions or malicious, I want to punch him hard!" Mu Xing clenched his fists and said majestic!
"Trumen's world..." Lu Yuan said softly. This is really like that movie. The difference is that it is bigger and its purpose is more ethereal...
"Yes, it's like that movie. It was banned in 22 years... I mean 2522, because so many people chose to commit suicide after watching it..."
Lu Yuanmoran, maybe he is a 21st century person, it is difficult for someone to commit suicide just because of a few stars. But for people in the 26th century, how big is the earth than a house? "What do you need me to do? Should I go to those future worlds and collect fantasy technology, or go to the advanced magic world and look for mysterious knowledge? You know, our world has magic power, a world of medium magic power..."
"Let's enhance your strength first. A Yuan and Nana are still too fragile now. We... still have time. Well, A Yuan, I'm going to work! The biochemical technology brought by Ke Xue can improve everyone's hibernation environment. And I brought various magic knowledge from the Gate of Borgward, which may play a greater role - it was really too narrow to study science before."
"Mu Xing", Lu Yuan held her hand, "Can you transfer the laboratory to the Kingdom of God? Look, you have tablet batteries and wireless power transmission technology, so it doesn't matter where you build a laboratory, right?"
"What's wrong with this? The equipment is here, and there is also the help of the spaceship owner's computer "Sister Dawn", which will be much faster than in the Kingdom of God."
"Depression! It's depression! Mu Xing! Don't you feel it?" Lu Yuan finally expressed his thoughts. In the first few months, he was almost driving him crazy. "Look up?! There are ceilings everywhere! The ceiling is tangled! And the ever-soft-soft-hearted, considerate, damn white light! Look at the window next to you, is there a scenery there? No! There is nothing! It's like a black glass with a few paper stars on it..."
"Is that true? It turns out that Ayuan doesn't like Dawn so much..." Mu Xing said with some disappointment. She looked around, then at the ceiling, and lowered her head in frustration.
"Boy! Don't talk nonsense! The Dawn is much greater than you think!" The Dawn's main computer, Dawn in the uniform of a female officer, emerged from the air. She first scolded Lu Yuan angrily, turned around and hugged Mu Xing, "Hmph, let you see it! The natives from the 21st century!" She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the zenith!
I'm really sorry that I'm an indigenous person 5 centuries ago!
Lu Yuan looked at the roof of the cabin in surprise, cracked in the direction of her fingers, spreading out to both sides, and walls recombined to change to the effect of mirror. Layer layers of cabin partitions extended an extremely deep cave under her fingers, and it stopped until Lu Yuan could see the arc wall of the Okuan where he was yesterday. The white passage began to expand and extend around, and finally formed a cylindrical "pattern" space, which directly penetrated the lower base of the hundreds of floors of Dawn! Although the cabin where Lu Yuan was located was only an inconspicuous section.
"This function... hasn't been tested yet..." Mu Xing said in a low voice, and the words that followed were scared back by Sister Li Ming's glare.
"Open it! Dawn!" she announced.
Fuck fuck
At the end of the patio, the huge milky white curved wall suddenly turned transparent. Lu Yuan opened his mouth wide and saw endless flames and light, covering every inch of the sky displayed by the transparent zodiac!
The mirror generated by each wall reflects the light that surges in like a tide. In an instant, the darkness in the dawn is gone, and the sun is dazzling!
——————————
ps: It sounds sad. This article is called Watch Dawn, but it has not been until now that the Dawn spacecraft has truly appeared, and the threat to the main world has begun to emerge. Can humans successfully establish colonies? What will happen to the future of Dawn? Will the scene of fortress cannon bombing appear? These will depend on the future.
The current situation is that we will enter the Caribbean world tomorrow...
In the future, I only want to recommend votes! I used to feel dissatisfied if I didn’t show up on a certain list, but now I feel very satisfied if I show up on a better list... I will specialize in the category recommendation list in the future, so who will let us run naked? (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
