Chapter 1781 The Long Voyage
In the next ten days, the Obsidian spaceship kept a constant speed and flew towards a higher earth-moon transfer orbit.
Maintaining such a high-speed flight for more than ten consecutive days will consume a lot of Yuanjing.
However, before departure, Chen Nanfeng and others collected fifty Yuan Jing and handed it over to Xia Ruofei—in the case of increasingly scarce cultivation resources, even for top sects, it is not easy to take out these fifty Yuan Jing of.
Xia Ruofei stored all these Yuanjing in the black obsidian flying boat in advance. During the flight of more than ten days, whenever a Yuanjing was exhausted, he would directly use his mental power to remotely control the object and replace it with a new Yuanjing , to ensure that the flying boat can get a steady stream of power.
In the Dragon spacecraft combination, the nine members of the expedition lead a very regular life.
They take turns on duty in the cockpit, while others practice and rest in different cabins.
With the increase of the flight distance, the number and frequency of people going to the porthole to view the scenery are gradually increasing.
Two or three days after leaving the 400-kilometer orbit, everyone can already see the whole earth through the porthole.
The blue planet hangs on the pure black sky, giving people a very strong visual impact.
And, as the Earth becomes smaller and smaller in your view, there is a profound sense of being far from home. Although they are all practitioners, and nine people went to the moon together, in the lonely space, seeing the blue earth hanging there alone, everyone will always have a sense of loneliness in their hearts. The loneliness comes from the ontology, but looking back at the earth from space, feeling the loneliness of human beings in the vast universe.
After more than ten days of voyage, everyone is very used to life in the spaceship assembly.
Originally, cultivators have much better physical fitness than ordinary people, and they also have mental support, so the discomfort in the weightless state only lasted for a short time. Now each of them can walk through the various cabins with ease, and they are also very flexible in the process of floating around, no longer bumping and bumping from time to time like when they first entered the spaceship.
At this time, the Obsidian spaceship has already towed the dragon spaceship assembly and flew about 250,000 kilometers.
In fact, their positions have crossed the point of the Earth-Moon transfer orbit and are closer to the Moon.
Today, everyone will transfer to the Obsidian airship according to the plan to complete the last journey.
Because after arriving on the moon, some operations such as deceleration and orbit change must be carried out, and the Dragon spacecraft assembly itself has no power. During these ten days, the Obsidian spacecraft dragged the Dragon spacecraft assembly,
They are also advancing at a constant speed.
If the Obsidian spaceship slows down during this process, there is no so-called air friction in an infinitely close to vacuum environment, so the dragon spaceship assembly will still maintain its original speed, and there will only be one result - "rear collision".
Therefore, after approaching the moon, when the Obsidian spacecraft needs to perform some relatively complicated operations, the Dragon spacecraft assembly should be put away.
Otherwise, it doesn't matter if the Obsidian spaceship is bumped or bumped, but the dragon spaceship combination cannot withstand such a collision. As long as the shell is broken, the airtightness of the cabin cannot be guaranteed, so when returning, everyone has to wear it all the time The extravehicular spacesuit.
How much torture it will be to be bored in the bulky spacesuit outside the cabin for ten or twenty days!
In addition, Xia Ruofei and the others also considered that after approaching the moon, unknown dangers may increase. In case of danger in the subsequent voyage, everyone in the dragon spacecraft combination must be unable to react in time-not only the procedure of wearing a space suit is cumbersome , and it is necessary to wait for decompression when leaving the cabin. After a series of standard procedures, the day lily is cold.
Therefore, everyone believes that in the final stage of the voyage, they should still be concentrated on the Obsidian airship, so that they can deal with possible dangers as quickly as possible.
As for the dragon spacecraft assembly, this is a warm nest for everyone to return to, so it must be properly preserved.
After crossing the earth-moon transfer orbit point, the obsidian spacecraft still flew towards the moon at a constant speed, and Xia Ruofei and the others had already started preparing to return to the obsidian spacecraft.
Everyone cleaned up the sanitation in the spaceship assembly, and then began to follow the procedures to prepare to leave the cabin.
The first four people to return were Mu Hua, Mu Jianfei, Shen Tianfang and Xu Yurou.
They put on the extravehicular spacesuit in the orbital module, checked the performance of the spacesuit and the oxygen reserve, and then closed the door of the orbital module. Xia Ruofei, who was sitting in the cockpit, operated the button to release the pressure on the orbital module.
Soon, the orbital module has been pumped into a vacuum environment.
The four of Mu Hua and his party opened the hatch and entered the vast universe again. They floated back to the black obsidian airship along the traction rope.
Then, Xia Ruofei closed the hatch of the orbital cabin with mental power, checked the airtightness, and at the same time began to release the high-pressure gas cylinder to pressurize the cabin.
After the cabin pressure was consistent, Xia Ruofei brought Ling Qingxue, Chen Xuan, Yang Liu and Yu Xiner to the orbital cabin together.
It is still a series of standard operations such as wearing a spacesuit, checking the performance and oxygen content of the spacesuit, locking the hatch, and decompression.
In the end, Xia Ruofei and others also left the dragon spacecraft assembly in file.
Xia Ruofei was the last to leave.
He held the railing of the grab handle with one hand at the door of the hatch, and at the same time used his mental power to control the hatch of the orbital module to close the door.
Immediately afterwards, he extended his mental power to the cockpit, manipulated the button to check the airtightness of the orbital module, and then began to pressurize.
After finishing all this, Xia Ruofei cut off the main power supply of the spacecraft, the spacecraft control computer was completely turned off, and all the lights were extinguished.
Xia Ruofei still didn't put away the solar panels.
He followed the traction rope, pulled with a little force, and floated towards the obsidian airship.
In fact, during the whole process, the combination of the Obsidian spacecraft and the Dragon spacecraft was still heading towards the moon at a very high speed.
It's just that the speed of the two is exactly the same, so they are relatively stationary.
As a result, when Xia Ruofei returned to the deck of the Obsidian airship and directly released the hooks of the five traction ropes, the relative distance between the two did not change.
After Xia Ruofei let go of the traction rope, with a thought, he sent the dragon spacecraft assembly into the spirit map space.
Now, only the obsidian spaceship is left sailing alone in the outer space.
Everyone did not go back to the cabin, but came to the front deck of the airship.
Until Xia Ruofei put away the dragon spacecraft assembly, and also crossed the top of the spacecraft and returned to the front deck.
Xia Ruofei said in the communication channel: "Dear fellows, everyone must cheer up! If there is no accident, we should be able to reach our destination soon!"
Chen Xuan grasped the side of the black obsidian flying boat to control his body, looked up at the moon which seemed so close at hand, and said with emotion: "This is the first time in my life to see the moon at such a close distance!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Indeed, everyone had the experience of looking up at the starry sky when they were young, and they must have all kinds of fantasies, but none of them thought that one day they would come to such a close distance to observe the moon.
Except for the astronauts of the Apollo program, among all human beings, they are the few who observed the moon from this position with their own eyes.
Of course, this conclusion may not be accurate, because if there is such a fairyland-like place on the moon according to the magical illusion that the music brought everyone into, then at least someone from the cultivation world must have been there, otherwise who left that secret place? What about?
Xia Ruofei looked back at the lonely blue earth, added a sentence, and said: "This is also the farthest time we have been away from home..."
Everyone felt the same way, and everyone nodded awkwardly.
The scene in space is so spectacular that no one is willing to go back to the cabin, including Xia Ruofei who stayed on the front deck-this place can definitely be called the invincible universe observation deck.
He also directly used his mental power to control the Obsidian spaceship, while the man remained on the deck.
In fact, this method does not consume a lot of mental power, but the benefits are obvious, and the view is second. The main reason is that the view here is excellent. If you stay on the deck, once any danger is approaching, you can be the first Time discovery, and it is also more convenient for everyone to find the place they have seen while listening to music.
There is still a distance of about 50,000 kilometers, and the speed of the Obsidian spaceship is slightly reduced, and it draws a large arc. While flying towards the moon, it also begins to enter the orbit around the moon.
The next flight took about two days.
In the past two days, everyone was bored in the space suit outside the cabin, and naturally they did not feel comfortable staying in the Dragon spacecraft combination.
Among other things, the oxygen supply module alone will run out of oxygen every six hours or so, and everyone has to replace it.
In addition, eating and drinking are also problems. Fortunately, practitioners are not like ordinary people, who have to eat every few hours. Everyone tries to eat as little as possible during this time.
The process of eating is also very weird—everyone takes out food directly from their own storage magic weapon, and then the food will appear directly in the mask of the space suit outside the cabin, so hands are naturally useless, and the whole eating process The whole process is controlled by mental power. If ordinary people see this scene, they will be stunned.
As for the "three urgency" problems, eating less food will naturally lead to less excretion, but it cannot be avoided after all. After all, practitioners are not brave, they can only enter and exit. At this time, the adult diapers prepared on earth will come in handy.
After flying for about two days, the Obsidian spaceship was already very close to the surface of the moon.
Although the moon is much smaller than the earth, it is relative. After flying near the moon, what Xia Ruofei and others saw was still a huge and incomparable star. The large and small craters on the surface of the moon are also bigger than everyone imagined. much.
At this time, everyone looked back at the earth and found that the earth they see now is almost ten times larger than the moon they saw on the earth, and the earth seen from this angle is also brighter than the moon seen on the earth many.
In fact, all nine members of the expedition team had experienced the wonderful illusion created by that piece of music. The illusion scene was flying from the earth to the moon at the beginning, but the speed was much faster than that of their obsidian spaceship. Therefore, all nine of them knew the approximate location of that place in the illusion.
Xia Ruofei controlled the Obsidian spacecraft to descend continuously along the orbit around the moon. When the spacecraft came to the back of the moon, it began to accelerate and descend until it was about 300 kilometers away from the lunar surface. Then everyone began to look for the illusion at that time in the landing place.
The memory of practitioners is quite amazing, not to mention that after experiencing the illusion of music, that experience seems to be engraved in everyone's minds, so when everyone approached the moon, they quickly found familiar ground markers— — a huge crater.
Like everyone else, Xia Ruofei was overjoyed when he saw the crater. At the same time, he did not hesitate to control the flying boat to quickly descend towards the crater.
At this moment, everyone has fully confirmed that the scene in the illusion of music is real.
Everyone is more confident in finding the secret place shown in the music during this trip.
The height of the obsidian airship kept dropping, and finally it was only about a kilometer away from the moon, which was also within the range of low-altitude flight on earth.
Xia Ruofei controlled the black obsidian spaceship to fly across the surface of the moon at high speed at this height, and Chen Xuan and others were also observing the situation below.
At that time, in the illusion of music, they all cut into the moon from this huge crater, and then flew at low altitude and high speed for a long distance, almost crossing half of the moon, before they came to a valley on the back of the crater, and then appeared the portal.
The flying speed of the obsidian flying boat is very fast, but Xia Ruofei's control is extremely precise. Now he is almost recreating the illusion of music that everyone experienced at that time.
The environment below is almost exactly the same as in the illusion.
While controlling the flying boat, Xia Ruofei also sighed in his heart - the history of the Dragon Rising Order can be traced back at least three thousand years ago. Although it will be reassembled every few decades, it is not known whether the illusion formed will be the same as this time. But everything in this illusion has not changed after thousands of years. This is only possible on the moon, because the environment here is dead and silent, and there will be no artificial over-exploitation unless It is a meteorite that hits the surface of the moon again, otherwise it will remain unchanged.
Xia Ruofei controlled the obsidian airship and flew along the route in memory for about five hours—it took only a while in the illusion process, and the speed of the obsidian airship was still too slow—finally, the nine people coincidentally communicated on the communication channel Li cheered.
They saw a familiar crater, which also means that if there is no accident, they will reach the end of this journey if they turn to the valley on the back.
