Chapter 1270: The Strongest Assist in History

If someone were to interview aerospace technology experts from the three major countries and how they felt about the "solar system race" of Nan Zong, they would definitely adjust their glasses very seriously, and then tell you: "Nan Zong's question is very difficult. "

Acceleration, does it mean acceleration in outer space?

Although the gravity here is very low, there are no obstacles, and you will not encounter flowers, plants and children, but when you accelerate, you must consider the bearing capacity of the engine, the remaining fuel, and the strength and structure of the spacecraft. Consider how to slow down in the end-you can't just hit Mars straight!

Moreover, after the speed changes, the entire orbit will also change, and the orbit change time, time window, etc., all change.

Don't forget that Mars is also constantly rotating in the solar system, and their flight angles, routes, etc. must be redesigned.

And once it starts to accelerate, the spacecraft can no longer slow down, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to win this big challenge.

Therefore, it is necessary to come up with the plan as quickly as possible, and then constantly revise and improve the plan, which requires a large number of experts, technicians and powerful computing power.

This even tests the national strength of a country!

And this race, for a while, attracted the attention of people all over the world. Anyway, it happened that one fifth of the people in the world were celebrating the Spring Festival, and it was fine to celebrate the New Year.

All kinds of analysis, strife, and disputes are rampant on the Internet, and various gaming companies have opened their handicap, and the underground betting is worth tens of trillions of dollars...

...

A certain brat who was at the scene, but was completely watching the show, was a little depressed after being thrown back on the ground fire train.

"Uncle Ming is too much. We originally planned to warm up the war of Mars' mech warriors. If he comes like this, who else will pay attention to us!"

"Uncle Ming is too generous. I really want a 20,000-megawatt nuclear fusion engine..."

Amidst the quarrel, Lu Rongrong, who is the most economical, has been silent.

"what are you doing?"

"Bet." Lu Rongrong manipulated his small treasury very skillfully, injected different funds into the handicap of different bookmakers, and even participated in the underground gambling of some rich people.

Gambling? The bear kids suddenly became interested, there is no way, they are poor!

Our Xiongzi Technology is also a company that is not good at making money!

That's right, Bilanshen Technology is not good at making money!

"Who are you betting on?"

"Well, intellectually speaking, I think the United States has always had a first-mover advantage, and the Orion spacecraft has always been at the forefront. Their spacecraft are the most stable in size and have the strongest ability to withstand acceleration..." Lu Rongrong analyzed it and said : "But if I bet on the United States, my dad will eat me alive."

"My dad will probably eat me raw." After saying this, the other children were immediately tangled up.

...

On Yinghuo No. 1, Shi Buqing was also under a lot of pressure.

He thought it was boring to fly in the universe, but he didn't think the current excitement was very interesting!

Of course, he didn't think that Nan Ming proposed this "big race" because he was bored, and the prizes are so attractive...

But, it's really difficult!

After contacting the ground several times in a row, Shi Buqing felt that his hair was going to turn gray.

If you can't get the first place, I'm afraid you are a national sinner!

But is it easier said than done to get the first place? As Lu Rongrong said, my rabbit’s Yinghuo-1 was the latest to launch and the largest in size. I didn’t plan to compete for the first to reach Mars, because the first to arrive must be the lazy god, and the second and third Fourth, what is a difference of one or two days? Is one or two days enough for the United States and Russia to conquer Mars?

But after arriving on Mars, the advantages in size and the number of crew members will be brought into play, and the time difference of two or three days can be recovered.

But now it suddenly turned into a race, and all the previous advantages were wiped out.

After reporting to the ground for ten hours, the ground gave back four plans. As the captain of Yinghuo 1, Shi Buqing has the final decision.

At this time, the Orion spacecraft and the Messiah spacecraft have already started to accelerate.

The Orion spacecraft itself has the most advantage in acceleration. It is simply an iron lump flying in the air. Its structure is extremely strong. After it made a plan, it immediately closed the connection with the ground and increased the speed of detonating the nuclear bomb. Speed, and sometimes even detonate two nuclear bombs at once.

After two hours of acceleration, its speed has far surpassed the other two spacecraft.

The Messiah spacecraft... almost after the start of the big challenge, they started to accelerate crazily. Shi Buqing felt that they didn't have a plan at all, and even felt that they were drunk, and then laughed wildly and stepped on the accelerator... …

"As you can see, Yinghuo No. 1 has no advantages in all aspects. We can only cut off our wrists..." Shi Buqing said, "Yinghuo No. 1 has two cabins. We decided to temporarily abandon the landing module and only keep the main cabin. In addition We must reduce the weight of the main cabin as much as possible. From now on, everyone, please count your belongings. Any unnecessary items should be left in the landing cabin. All rations are strictly calculated, and only the most basic rations are kept, and all fuel is transferred to the main cabin. ..."

At this moment, the political commissar stood up and said: "We are not the main personnel, please stay in the landing cabin..."

Shi Buqing was taken aback.

Stay in the landing module, stay in the fuel empty, only in the iron tank drifting in space?

"No, there are no non-essential personnel on my ship, and I will not leave any crew member behind." Shi Buqing resolutely said: "First, let's honor together, and third, we will bear together."

An hour later, Yinghuo No. 1 separated, and the spaceship that was originally like a nunchuck turned into a solitary column and flew into the vast universe.

Shi Buqing watched the landing module from the porthole, watched it gradually disappear into the depths of the universe, and saluted silently.

And the main cabin of Yinghuo No. 1, spouting flames, rushed towards the direction of Mars, catching up.

The three spaceships were all accelerating, but the ground fire train, which was originally in the first place, was not in a hurry, and was overtaken by the Orion spacecraft and the Messiah spacecraft successively.

And its flight trajectory is also quietly adjusting.

...

Five days have passed, and there are less than four days left before Mars, but Yinghuo-1 is still at the end.

The spacecraft's engines had reached maximum load, and all objects that could be discarded were discarded. Everyone's water ration was reduced to the minimum, just to lose even a gram of their own weight.

But the distance didn't shorten that much.

Shi Buqing felt that his hair was really white, and he could feel the unspeakable suffering, the pressure that almost made people collapse.

Several times, he felt that he was hallucinating and felt that he was going crazy.

But he still has a boatload of people, so he can only be strong, drink the least amount of water, eat the least amount of food, put on the brightest smile, and seem to be full of confidence.

Leading the crew to sing military songs, and wanting to get the first sentence, I said to my family members, wrote it down and read it to each other, as if I really got the first place, and tried my best to ensure morale.

In the confined space, the harsh environment and air, sometimes, Shi Buqing felt that this was simply hell, and he even began to wonder if Nanming's "big race" was just trying to torture them.

He has shouldered too much, behind him is the pressure of the country, his own pressure, the honor of winning, and the almost desperate struggle.

When he was appointed as Yinghuo No. 1, the glory all over his body seemed to have faded, and he even felt that he should not be the captain of Yinghuo No. 1 at all.

This kind of hardship, this kind of pressure, and this kind of unspeakable torture caused Shi Buqing to lose weight visibly, as if someone was digging his flesh with a knife.

He used various methods to encourage himself. He recalled the past, when the country was underdeveloped, how the ancestors fought stubbornly to win in the face of the enemy's technological crushing. Recalling earlier, when facing the life and death of the country, the warriors who threw their heads and blood.

hold on, hold on...

Maybe, which country's spacecraft broke down, or encountered other conditions...

But nothing happened, and another hellish day passed. After reporting the situation to the ground, Shi Buqing returned to the command seat and sat down.

He wanted to cry, wanted to contact Nan Ming, and scolded him severely.

But he still suppressed all the urges, closed his eyes, and calmed down his emotions.

Until the second officer next to him called him.

"Captain, captain, the ground fire train requests contact."

"Take it here." Shi Buqing took a deep breath, and forced a smile, so that his tone also brought a smile, no matter what, he must not show timidity! Even if you lose, you lose with a smile!

You can't let people look down on you, at any time, your spine can't be bent!

"I'm Shi Buqing." After speaking, he subconsciously waited.

Contacts in the universe often take a long time to respond.

"Uncle Shi, do you need an assist?" Chen Haocong's voice came from the communication channel immediately.

"Assists?"

"Look behind."

All non-primary systems of the spacecraft have been shut down to save fuel and energy.

Hearing this sentence, Shi Buqing quickly ordered someone to turn on the external camera.

A few seconds later, the screen came.

In the vast universe, a huge, end-to-end spaceship, like the legendary snake "Ouroboros" that keeps devouring itself, is slowly approaching the main cabin of Yinghuo No. 1 from the rear.

That white train, mostly with transparent glass curtain walls, can catch up with the entire main cabin in almost one carriage.

It rotates in the universe, reflecting and refracting sunlight and starlight, as beautiful as the halo of a god.

"Uncle Shi, activate the docking protocol A-22!"

The technical officer looked at Shi Buqing, Shi Buqing took a deep breath, and ordered: "Start the docking protocol A-22!"

In an instant, an alarm sounded and a soft female voice sounded in the spaceship: "The spaceship has initiated the docking protocol, all crew members are requested to fasten their seat belts..."

In the camera, the ground fire train behind is slowly dissolving. Then the sections of the carriages sprayed out scorching flames, approaching Yinghuo No. 1 from both sides.

There was a soft "boom" from Dongbin. The once little-known small enterprise "Dongbin Wistron" produced connection ports. Under the control protocol written by a start-up technology company in Kanto, an enhanced connection was activated to tighten the carriage. It was mounted on Yinghuo No. 1.

There was another "boom", and the improved hanger from Corridor Company, a small company that was almost bankrupt, carried the impact force more than three times the design requirement, and tightly hooked the other two carriages together.

Then, there was another rumbling sound.

Sections of carriages disintegrated in the universe, and then docked with Yinghuo-1.

At that moment, it seemed that Shi Buqing's gaze swept across the cabin of Yinghuo No. 1.

Every part here seems to be a gaze, watching him.

Behind every part is the painstaking efforts of countless technicians and workers. Every part is like a faint entrustment and a sincere wish.

They have already created a miracle, otherwise I would not be here!

This is my boat! my ship!

It never throws up! I will never admit defeat either!

At that moment, Shi Buqing felt that he was almost reborn from Nirvana.

Win or lose, win or lose, or whatever, can't bring me down!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The continuous hooking sound kept ringing.

The huge carriage, like the thrusters and fuel packs of the space shuttle, wraps Yinghuo-1 in it.

"The docking is completed, the control protocol connection is completed, the general-purpose mount booster has been incorporated into the system management, resources are being allocated, and the external mount thruster is being activated." A soft female voice sounded.

"Go!" Chen Haocong's voice resounded through the cabin, "We must win!"

"boom!"

A loud bang!

It sounded like an explosion, and then a huge force pressed Shi Buqing to the seat.

In the universe, the eight carriages surrounding Yinghuo No. 1 bloomed a beautiful firework...

"Congcong, you are really my good brother!" Shi Buqing's excited cry echoed in the universe.

"You're so inferior, Uncle Shi!" Chen Haocong watched Yinghuo No. 1 go away, dumbfounded.

My dad is your good brother!

After a long time, the communicator suddenly rang, and when the communication was connected, a big face of a man wearing a U.S. Air Force uniform appeared, yelling in bird language.

"What did you say? Why did you say I helped Yinghuo No. 1? You still protested that I cheated?" Chen Haocong took out his ID card in his pocket, and pointed at the camera in front of him: "Look at my handsome handsome man." Face!"

"Ah, no, it's reversed. Look at this national emblem! Do you recognize it! You have the face to say that I'm cheating? Look at this line, read it out loud for me! What country is this?"

Next to him, Lu Rongrong blankly gave Chen Haocong a thumbs up.

You can do it, you are handsome!

Is it really not because you don't want to lose money? Someone next to him complained silently.

"Captain Chen, you were very handsome just now, but now there is a serious problem..." Lu Rongrong asked Chen Haocong, "You gave Uncle Shi all our eight-section thrusters, what shall we do!!!!"

"It's okay, I have a trump card!" Chen Haocong turned on the communicator, brewed his emotions, and then cried loudly: "Uncle Ming, Uncle Ming, we are trapped in the universe! Come and save us! Ahhh, it's about to explode !It's about to explode! Help-"

After hanging up the communication with a snap, Chen Haocong said, "Okay, in an hour, we will be on Mars."

The other three little friends turned around silently, it was too embarrassing! I do not know him!
