Chapter 1220: Incorporating the Moon Into the 2-Hour Life Circle

(Seeing someone complaining about Nanma’s death, I can only say that you are overthinking. With the technology of the lazy gods, flying out of the earth or even landing on the moon is almost like driving out to buy groceries. For the convenience of everyone Understood, the middle part of this chapter sorted out the issue of spatial scale again...)

The Orion experimental model has a lot of space inside.

Because of the existence of the space elevator, this kind of spacecraft that can only be manufactured in space and then launched in space is still limited by the ability of human beings to break out of the atmosphere. Some people have a metaphor, that is, the cost of launching things into space, Roughly equal to an equal weight of gold.

In the era of space elevators, this cost has been reduced by hundreds or thousands of times, and the loss and environmental pressure have been reduced to the lowest point.

Therefore, the crew of the Orion test spacecraft has expanded from the original 7 people to 14 people.

At this time, there are 12 people in the entire Orion cabin, which is not full, but because it is designed to be fully functional with at least 5 people, and at least 2 people can drive, so among the 12 people, there are many who are currently on standby.

Orion is equipped with the most powerful observation system in the United States so far, so even at a distance of hundreds or thousands of kilometers, they can still see the blue dot that suddenly entered.

The next second, they found that their channel had also been messed up, and an urgent and fast Russian accent was chattering in it, followed by a voice similar to a simultaneous interpreter, translating their words into English .

"Hey hey hey! Russians, you hacked into our lines!"

"It was you who invaded our line!"

"You Russians!"

"You bald Americans!"

"I F!"

"I……"

Both sides immediately began to curse.

On the ground, whether it is Moscow or Houston, they are already confused. What is going on?

Why is it strung together? Did the two parties just choose the same frequency band and the same encryption method?

This is almost impossible!

Seeing that the two sides were swearing more and more, even the ground commanders joined in, and some people used translation software to swear at each other, and a voice came in.

"Hey, hello? Do you have the demeanor of a racing car? If a racing car wants to use its strength to speak, who wouldn't speak up!"

"Who are you!" A rude voice opened his mouth to scold.

"I seem...seem to see a car..." A female team member from the United States did not join in the scolding, but kept observing the blue dot carefully.

After looking carefully for a long time, she found that the blue dot seemed to be a car.

"Wait, a car? Did you read that right?"

"Could it be the lazy bus?"

Now the Russian and American astronauts stopped cursing, and all became quiet.

Although they never show up in public, the existence of the Lazy God Bus has long been no secret to them.

It is rumored that the Lazy God Bus was the first to land on the moon in the new century, even before the Silence.

Of course, this is just a rumor, and many people don't believe it.

However, as Nanming's exclusive car, the Lazy God's Bus has extremely powerful technology. In the hearts of real high-level officials, perhaps the fear of the Lazy God's Bus is still higher than that of the Silence.

"It's not a lazy bus, it's much smaller than a lazy bus, like a seven-seater nanny car..."

When they heard that it wasn't a lazy bus, they immediately felt relieved.

Seven-seater nanny car?

Their first thought was, who played a prank and threw someone else's car into the universe?

The second thought is, don't be so funny, is it this nanny car that wants to race with them?

In the next second, the female crew member sent an identification signal to the nanny car, and immediately, the other party automatically replied with a civilian-level identification response signal.

"Universal single-person spaceship experimental model—manufactured by Lazy God Shipyard."

A few short words made the voices of the female crew tremble: "Houston, we have a problem. (Houston, we have a problem...)"

This test run test, whether it is the American Orion spacecraft or the Russian Messiah spacecraft, has a very ambitious goal.

That's breaking the speed record set by the Silencer last time it landed on the moon - 48 kilometers per second.

This is the highest speed record created by mankind so far, and it is several times faster than Voyager 1, which flew out of the solar system, at a speed of 17 kilometers per second.

From the earth to Mars, the theoretical shortest distance in a straight line is 54.6 million kilometers, but in fact this distance is only a theoretical value. The lowest distance measured so far is 56 million kilometers.

But the entire solar system is dynamic, and there are gravitational pulls from various planets. When the spacecraft is actually launched, it is impossible to fly in a straight line. For the current United States, as long as the length of the entire trajectory is controlled within 100 million kilometers, it is considered acceptable.

If it can reach 48 kilometers per second, then the distance of 100 million kilometers can be reached in only 24 days.

What is the concept of such a distance?

The diameter of the earth is 12,760 kilometers, the airspace is within 100 kilometers above the ground, the atmosphere is about 200 kilometers above the ground, the International Space Station flies more than 300 kilometers above the ground, and the geosynchronous orbit is very high, 36,000 kilometers above the ground.

Now take a big apple in your hand and stretch out your hand flat.

Assuming the apple is the earth, the geosynchronous orbit is about the elbow position, which is where the top of the space elevator is located.

Extend the position from your palm to your elbow ten times, which is about the distance between the moon and the earth, or about the distance from one corner to that corner of a small study.

So how far is it to Mars?

Probably at the gate of the community.

24 days to Mars!

This is simply impossible, okay?

But this is the goal that human beings must challenge, because the scale between the earth and Mars is so small in the universe.

Broadly speaking, the diameter of the solar system is 1.6 light-years!

Voyager 1 just flew out of the solar system in the narrow sense and just passed the orbit of Pluto.

If human beings want to truly colonize the universe, they must challenge the speed of light, which is 300,000 kilometers per second!

48 kilometers per second is only 0.00016 times the speed of light. It takes 10,000 years to fly out of the solar system at this speed!

So, it's all about speed! speed! speed!

Of course, the Russians are also basically thinking about this idea. In fact, it is not difficult to achieve this speed for a spacecraft propelled by nuclear energy, but the faster the speed, the higher the processing requirements for the spacecraft, whether it is the United States or Russia. , In fact, they all tried to exploit the loopholes of the lazy god system, and used the processing equipment of the lazy god system to process the key components.

For this reason, several secret agents working on the secret front have also received secret awards from the president.

But now, all of a sudden, the female crew member has a bad idea.

If... It's not that they figured out a way to process the key components by taking advantage of the loopholes of the lazy god system.

It's the lazy gods... don't care at all, or did they process the parts for them on purpose?

Gather the power of all countries in the world and enter the era of great voyages of the universe, but you don't want to stand alone and bear too much pressure, so you deliberately help them so that they don't pull too far?

Will it be so?

But if this is not the case, what do you think of the significance of the sudden appearance of this civilian-level spaceship?

The female crew members thought a lot in their minds, and the ground command center, which received the synchronization signal, thought even more at this time.

After a few seconds of silence, an order came from the ground.

"Try its speed!"

It's just a civilian-grade spaceship.

"Accelerate! Accelerate!"

English and Russian yelled non-stop on the channel.

Nanma sneered.

accelerate? In front of me, those who dare to compare the speed have not yet been born!

Stepping on the accelerator, Nan Ming was pressed down on the seat by a terrifying force.

Fortunately, Xiaolan has automatic attitude control and chose to fly at a bank angle, otherwise Nan Ming felt that she would slip out of the seat belt.

In the pitch-black universe, there are only a few twinkling stars. The blue earth and the silver-white moon are like two small balls at the two ends of the line of sight.

One side is, one side is the end.

The Orion spacecraft is like a farting bug, dropping nuclear bombs one after another, exploding behind it, and pushing itself forward.

The Messiah spacecraft looks more like a traditional spacecraft, but the flames ejected are many times faster than ordinary chemical energy.

The two spaceships dragged their heavy bodies, like panting old cows, and began to accelerate slowly.

The blue nanny car, like a blue swordfish, just flashed a few times before disappearing from the detection range.

Any conventional tracking method is almost impossible to track its speed at this time.

On the ground, the phase matrix of the United States continuously sent response requests into space, and then received a response from Xiaolan.

Civilian aircraft transponders will automatically send back their own flight status so that the ground can help them determine the course.

In the response sent back, in less than half an hour, Xiaolan had surpassed the speed of 48 kilometers per second set by the Silence, pushing the speed all the way to the limit of 70 kilometers per second.

About twenty minutes later, a voice came from the communication frequency band: "I'm at the end, how about you?"

At that moment, both Houston and Moscow were dead silent, like a grave after midnight.

In fact, at this moment, Xiaolan is also very quiet inside.

Nan's mother regretted halfway through driving, but seeing that Nan Ming was sleeping soundly without worry at all, she just gritted her teeth and continued driving.

Then...less than an hour, a huge silver-white ball filled her field of vision, and Xiaolan was navigating: "The spaceship has reached the moon, please go to the station to land..."

The last time the lazy gods landed on the moon, the huge airbag left on the moon was still there, and the train station that Nanming built for Chen Haocong was still there.

Nan's mother drove Xiaolan through the station's entrance pressurization device and entered the huge airbag. Xiaolan sent another message: "The external environment is normal, you can open the window. The current acceleration of gravity is 1.62, which is six minutes of the earth One, if you need to go out for a walk, please be careful not to fall."

Nanma carefully unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door, and jumped on the ground a few times, like fleas.

"I... have we reached the moon?" Qi Minglai's eyes widened, and even Li Huiyun was dumbfounded. He pushed Nan Ming who was still sleeping soundly next to him, and Nan Ming rubbed his eyes and sat up.

"Uncle Ming, Uncle Ming, we have reached the moon now?" Li Huiyun almost peed in fright, didn't he say that the moon is very tall?

"Huh?" Nan Ming opened his eyes and looked, then lay down and fell asleep again: "It's the moon, wake me up when I go back."

"Uncle Ming! Don't sleep! Get up!" Qi Minglai rubbed Nan Ming furiously. She knew that Nan Ming was most afraid of others giving him a massage.

Although she looks delicate, she is a strong girl: "We have reached the moon!"

"Going to the moon is really nothing exciting." Nan Ming was almost crushed into a ball by Qi Minglai, and sat up helplessly, "We are all ready to colonize Mars now, okay?"

"But it's so fast! The moon is so far away!" Qi Minglai said.

"It's just the moon. If Mars is like crossing the Pacific Ocean, the moon is also crossing the city to catch a meal. Isn't it difficult? If the moon is not included in the two-hour living circle, how can I have the nerve to land on Mars?" Nan Ming didn't think there was anything wrong at all. Exciting.

"But but..."

"Next time I will take you to Mars to play, good boy, let me sleep!" Nan Ming lay down again.

And over there, Nanma seems to have discovered a new continent. She looked at the moon soil outside through the airbag: "Such a big place, you can grow a lot of crops..."

(Note: The speed of 48 kilometers per second of the Silence is to ensure the greatest comfort, not the limit speed.)
