Chapter 981 Space Navigation Log

"Dear crew, the 'Pioneer' has entered the stage of sailing at a constant speed, and now you can untie the safety belt and move freely in the cabin. It is recommended that you return to your living room first and check whether there are any personal items during the lift-off process. If you have any questions, please contact the captain's room." The synthetic female voice echoed melodiously in the spaceship, making people feel at ease.

Qian Shu returned to her room in no hurry. She took out her smart screen first. It integrated all the functions of mobile phones and computers in the previous era, and it has been made completely transparent. Without the shell, it is as thin as a cicada in her hand. The light panel of the wing is like pinching a piece of paper.

Before flying off the moon, the Internet is still unblocked, and Qianshu can browse people's comments on the launch of Pioneer from all over the world.

Thanks to the advanced push technology, 3.5 billion people around the world watched the entire launch of the Pioneer at the same time.

The news was on the homepage, and it was at the top of the list in all major media. People rushed to understand the details of this big event,

"The Pioneers of Mankind: Today the Bravest Men Leave the Atmosphere and Embark on an Expedition to the Stars."

"Redefining human potential, interplanetary system travel is finally realized!"

"One small step for the pioneer, one giant leap for the species."

"Break resource constraints, the future is bright, start colonizing the fringe world today!"

"This is a triumph of the human spirit!"

People praised this great move, and their praise made Qianshu blush.

It is also said that Xu Yang and his daughters are willing to take risks to enter the universe, which is particularly commendable. Once the Pioneer machine is destroyed, the whole family will disappear without a trace and be lost to the sky!

Qian Shu didn't feel it before, but now she is also nervous.

The law of Falosa’s recovery is limited in scope, if it disappears at a distance of 36 trillion kilometers, how can it recover. They will indeed perish!

Thinking of the risks involved in this trip, Qian Shu felt horrified. Dad is too brave, or my group of people are too brave. As the first batch of adventurers in the whole world to open up the universe, I really deserve the title of "brave"!

Qian Shu jumped off the seat and wandered around in the cabin.

At this time, Xu Yang's personal broadcast also began to be delivered, and he himself was the captain.

"Dear 'Pioneer' crew, we have embarked on the route to Proxima Centauri-B! Thanks to the common flight path left by the old civilization and the power provided by the dual-nuclear fusion reactor, we will be on the way to Proxima Centauri on 7 Accelerate to one thousandth of the speed of light within a day, and fly to the Jupiter planet 640 million kilometers away, also known as the Sol-5 planet, in 592 hours, that is, 24 days later. There, we use the star gate to travel to Proxima Centauri-B .Please enjoy the trip, but be careful:

The area marked with a green cursor is safe, which means that the cabin has undergone special treatment, so that all activities of the crew are under the protection of the life safety support system. If an occupant accidentally enters an area with a yellow or red cursor, please step back immediately to a safe area.

Passengers with neural implants can now register to join the flight tuning system. The Nisto navigation system combines data from the onboard astronomical database with real-time sensors, allowing everyone to keep abreast of spacecraft readings and overview the external landscape through synchronized sensors. .

Our ships have comprehensive radiation shielding, shields, point defenses, and basic stealth systems, and while it's nearly impossible for us to encounter enemies inside or outside the solar system, it's still a matter of staying vigilant. Even if artificial intelligence will alert all abnormal situations, the human element is still crucial, and the judgment, intuition and flexible response ability of each occupant are valuable.

The spaceship has already provided a self-sufficiency plan for sustainable long-term living supplies, a complete inventory of life seeds, and a giant ecological cabin. Thanks to advanced recycling and regeneration technology, we can save resources to the greatest extent, reduce loss, and improve the spaceship. Sustainability in deep space. Even in the worst environment and the most terrible conditions, this ship is enough to maintain a 'wandering' state for 100,000 years.

Therefore, please feel free to move freely on the spacecraft and look forward to the scenery of Proxima Centauri-B! "

After listening to Xu Yang's broadcast, Qian Shu always felt that his father was serious and humorous.

Serious because the mission carried by this spaceship is of great significance, and humorous because of his unrestrained nature. Even if the spaceship is really paralyzed in space, he is confident that he will "live" for a while until rescue comes.

Hey, Dad, Dad, I really don't know if it's super reliable or super unreliable.

Qian Shu came to the viewing cabin, there were already many crew members here, and they all curiously admired the beauty of the Star Sea through the observation mirror.

She also found a suitable position, put her eyes up, and watched the dark universe.

Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the stars appeared one by one in her field of vision, and they became very clear from space. Those familiar constellations now acquire a whole new depth and brilliance.

The sun itself is not big, and it is gradually shrinking to form a bright spark, which shows that it is only one of countless stars in the universe. Qian Shu felt that all this was like a dream, as if he was floating in the deep night ocean and drifting with the current. In fact, they were indeed wanderers of the stars.

Their destination, Sol-5, Jupiter star, is like a wooden ball wearing many colorful ribbons, brown and yellow, and there are some huge black buildings floating around it, it is said that it is the old man. The star gate and residence station built ten thousand years ago, the old people had already colonized the entire solar system, as well as Centaurs, Draco, and Luman galaxies...

Qianshu fell in love with looking at galaxies at once, looking for the beautiful stars in the universe, which shone like gems under the dark and deep space.

There are more than 200 billion star systems in the universe, and each star system has 100 billion to 1 trillion stars. Qianshu can't count, she can only know infinity, infinity, infinity!

Whether it is the dream of the immortal boundary, or the admiration and awe of the vast universe, they all permeate Qianshu's heartstrings. She felt incredible, it all seemed like a miracle.

Bathed in miracles to move forward.

With great enthusiasm, Qianshu tried hard to get used to life on the spaceship.

Every day, the light of dawn will be simulated in her private single room, and the lights in the cabin will gradually brighten, which is the same as the circadian rhythm at the base before. Also very relaxing.

Qian Shu will exercise for a while, and then have a light meal. Most space food is boxed or delivered in the form of grain balls, which saves time. They are attached with a virtual information chip that, once read on the virtual helmet, can simulate a hearty delicacy.

When on duty, Qianshu mainly monitors Pioneer's system and navigation equipment to ensure the best performance and optimize efficiency during long-distance voyages. Nisto's navigation system occasionally needs to be adjusted and manually verified to solve abnormalities outside of artificial intelligence programming.

Life support systems also require close attention to maintain a balance of resources and the environment and prevent system failure.

When she was not on duty, Chiki felt her heart was much wider. In such a void, she felt unrestrained. She was fascinated by classical music and started playing the violin. At least that's one thing that will move Kojima Yoko, whose daughter, in addition to being rebellious, occasionally respects high culture.

At the end of each day, Qian Shu would return to her room to rest on time. She had actually become a small alarm clock on the spaceship. As soon as people saw Qian Shu walking back, they immediately realized that it was time to rest.

Qian Shu would lie on her own bed, covered with a delicate and soft quilt, and fall asleep within 15 seconds.

She sleeps more efficiently than on the planet, because sleeping here is simply a pleasure. The spaceship sails peacefully through the sea of ​​stars, making a series of soft humming sounds along the way, which is simply the best background music to help sleep. The rooms of their daughters are very close to each other. Qianshu often dreams of the giant white changing tower, and she never gets close to it.

And just like that, the days passed in relative calm, each hour bringing them closer to Sol-5.

A month later, the Pioneer spacecraft began to slow down and attempted to dock with the stargate system.

The huge "Stargate" space station loomed in front of them, a technological creation left by the old man, a celestial body floating in the orbit of the Sol-5 planet, like a tilted black crown.

Qianshu leaned forward, looking out from the porthole of the observation room, it may be thousands of kilometers wide, and it is completely an interstellar megastructure.

Lila whistled next to Qianshu: "Yo! Look at how big that thing is. This 'star gate' better be worthy of the name, and take us through the solar system."

"Learning, learning." Bubble understood on tiptoe.

"The technology behind these feats is still unknown to us." Qian Shu nodded thoughtfully, "I really don't know if it is reliable."

Xu Cheng put his hands in his pockets, and stared at the star gate itself behind the sunglasses. It was so spectacular. Her scanning eyepiece knows nothing about it, beyond the scope of the database.

"If something goes wrong with the star gate, will we be stuck in the middle, and the spaceship will snap apart?" Laila was full of thoughts.

"Don't say such a terrible thing." Qian Shu was startled.

yes! What if the stargate doesn't work, or if there's an accident?

"Luck favors the brave." Xu Cheng gave Qian Shu a thumbs up.

"Hmph..." Qian Shu turned his gaze away, his expression was mixed with expectation and fear, and he was unprepared for the miracle that would happen next.

The stargate itself hasn't been in operation for at least 10,000+ years, but those metal structures are still intact, it seems indestructible by itself, and there are some truly forgotten habitation stations and orbital orbits in Sol-5 The base, those are the ruins.

Qianshu couldn't imagine what happened to the people living in these ten thousand years. Without any signal, they had long since perished.

But what makes Qianshu uneasy is when did their connection with the old mother civilization be broken? And once they found that they could no longer return to their home planet from Sol-5, how did the hundreds of thousands of old people on the residence station spend their last days?

Interstellar outcasts in general, how do they allocate the last limited resources, how do they try to save themselves, how do they try to avoid civil strife? Under the cold gaze of the universe, they didn't tremble?

These things alone are enough to write several thick books and make more than a dozen movies.

But no matter what the truth of history is, in front of Qianshu, there are only a few huge wreckages of star orbit man-made celestial bodies, which are completely dilapidated, in stark contrast to the star gate next to it that is still magnificent and has lasted for thousands of years.

The spaceships of the old people must have arrived here again and again along the track, but it was the first time for the small human-witch civilization. Qianshu took a deep breath, and they came to a place where no one had been. I hope Xu Cheng is right - luck favors the brave.

Xu Yang came to the viewing cabin to mention someone: "We should go."

"Go? Where are you going?" Qian Shu turned his head.

"Look at this star gate, do you feel that something is missing?" Xu Yang pointed to the huge black ring.

"If the door is going to create a wormhole that 'jumps' us to Proxima-B, shouldn't it at least be humming?" Lyra asked.

"Maybe its working mechanism is beyond our current understanding." Bubble said calmly.

Xu Cheng remained silent, turning his head to stare at the star gate. This huge interstellar structure shone slightly under the brownish-yellow light of Sol-5, like a sleeping giant of steel. What wonder, or doom, lurks in its dark mind behind that indifferent metal?

"I want to activate it, Xu Cheng, help me drive the spaceship." Xu Yang said.

"Quack?" Xu Cheng suddenly turned his head.

"Father, how do you start it?" Qian Shu was startled.

"I don't know, I have to try." Xu Yang said.
