Chapter 257 Doubt About Life

Long Laotie has already taken action.

Could it be that Wei Ming just stood by and watched as a bystander, reduced to a member of the crowd, or double-clicked 666?

How can this be!

He is the last protagonist to appear, or the last BOSS to appear, and no one can steal his limelight and halo.

So not long after Long Laotie set off.

Black Hole Universe Development Company soon began intensive actions.

For example, the "Mars Immigration Recruitment Plan" was announced. The first batch of recruits is 100,000 people, and a special large-scale training base has been established. All young people have a bachelor's degree or above, good physical fitness, singles, and are between 20 and 30 years old. Anyone can apply and will be divided into hundreds of disciplines to participate in three to five years of professional training.

Those who pass the final assessment will have the opportunity and qualifications to immigrate to Mars.

Because this plan was launched by the Black Hole Group alone.

During the training period, they will be well-paid and promised to be assigned a house and a car (of course a house and a car on Mars), as well as solve medical and pension problems. In addition, before immigrating to Mars, they will be given a large settlement fee to solve all worries.

So he applied, and millions of people came to apply. After selecting the best, 100,000 people were quickly recruited.

Also the end of November.

Kunlong Mountain, Pangu Tiangong Base.

The electromagnetic ejection track built in the mountain with a length of 11 kilometers is energized and applies an acceleration of more than 20G (unmanned) to the first "Pioneer" aerospace plane, allowing the first "Pioneer" to carry ten tons of The materials were ejected at a terminal speed close to ten times the speed of sound.

Then Pioneer started its own power system.

The powerful thrust generated by the N5 all-nitrogen fuel soon allowed the Pioneer to reach the first cosmic speed.

After docking with the space station, he replenished ten tons of supplies to the Tianhe space station.

The Pioneer also had a small amount of conventional fuel left, allowing it to return to the airport where it landed.

The first electromagnetic catapult aerospace aircraft transportation mission was a complete success.

The next step will be to conduct a manned ejection experiment under an overload of no more than 10G. Although the maximum terminal speed is only Mach 6, which will cause the Pioneer's load capacity to be reduced by 40%, if it is only used to carry people, it can send up to The launch of 24 astronauts into space is equivalent to launching eight one-time manned rockets.

This passenger capacity is terrifying.

The cost of transporting passengers per person is reduced to less than one percent of that of traditional rocket transport.

In the future, it will become a reality that the middle class wants to go for a ride in space, and the rich want to take a day trip to the space station.

but……

Whether it is the recruitment and training of Mars immigrants or the successful first flight of the "Pioneer".

The above are just tips, a little appetizer.

…

November 30, 9pm.

For the purpose of concealment and safety.

On the sea nearly a hundred miles east of Hangzhou.

Ten giant container cruise ships are lined up like a long snake from south to north, stretching for nearly 20 nautical miles, but they don't look sparse.

Because these cruise ships are super cruise ships with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons, each of which can carry thousands of standard containers and transport more than 100,000 tons of cargo.

But at this moment.

These cruise ships carry another slightly larger container, measuring 15 meters long x 5 meters wide x 3 meters high. Due to the difficulty of road transportation, container production plants can only be established by the Tangjiang River and then transported by river. Arrive at the dock, fill the cargo, and then place it on the giant cruise ship through a large crane.

Depending on the quality of the goods in the special containers, each cruise ship can hold 300 to 500 special containers, with a total weight of about 100,000 tons.

in addition.

The edge of each special container has a buckle device made of special material, which can snap together with the buckles of adjacent containers, and each edge can snap together. Through the buckle, many people can The containers are combined into a whole, and even if they bear millions of tons of pulling force, the buckles will not break and be damaged.

Finally, a high-strength cable extends from the top of each container on the top floor, which is tied together and tied to a lifting ring at the top.

Just before the transport operation begins.

"General Health, the first batch of 1 million tons of materials is mainly building materials for building an ecosystem, including high-strength glass, solar power generation films, super aluminum alloys, and some tools and equipment. Most of them are relatively durable and not easily damaged. In addition, Properly placed, it can withstand overloads above 5G, but it’s best not to exceed 10G.”

"In addition, 'Water Drop 2' has undergone technical upgrades and has realized the space navigation function of accurately displaying the ejection trajectory in the VR helmet. At that time, we will provide remote assistance, and the speed, direction, angle and other information of the drifting materials will be accurately displayed. , you don’t need to pay too much attention to the data. As long as the yellow line in front turns into a green line, you can release the drag to ensure that the error of the goods reaching the end point will not exceed ten kilometers. "

With the help of the navigation system, it is completely fool-proof operation.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Wei Ming put on a VR helmet, entered Water Drop 2, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

…

9:20 p.m.

Container cruise ship fleet.

Wei Ming controlled Shuidi 2 to lower its height, starting from the first cruise ship at the front, and let the super titanium alloy hook at the tail of Shuidi 2 hook the O-ring on a certain container.

Then suddenly accelerate upward and pull hard!

Squeak~

Click, click, click!

Various sounds of metal friction and collision were heard.

The waterline of the cruise ship rose at an astonishing speed, like a scoop that stopped pressing, stirring up a huge wave on the sea surface.

The 100,000-ton container assembly slowly rose and separated from the hull.

Continuously rising.

Continuously accelerating!

Crack, crack, crack~

Bang, bang, bang!

Under an acceleration of more than 5G, the container assembly made various sounds, as well as loud noises caused by friction with the air.

It was shocking!

The metal cable was stretched straight and even physically stretched. If it were not because it was above the sea, people would definitely worry that the cable would suddenly break and hundreds of containers would fall down and kill people, and smash hundreds of huge pits.

More than a hundred seconds later.

In space.

Wei Ming adjusted the speed, direction, and angle of the container assembly according to the yellow navigation line that appeared in the VR helmet, first making the yellow line straight, and then letting the speed reach a suitable range.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that the yellow line finally turned green.

Wei Ming decisively unhooked the tail hook, and without even looking at the container assembly, he went straight back to Blue Star.

The second towing mission began.

Then the third, fourth...

As the operation became more and more proficient, the average time spent on each trip was reduced from more than 20 minutes at the beginning to about 10 minutes.

It took only more than two hours to pull all the millions of tons of materials from the ten container assemblies, and they got off work before twelve o'clock.

This efficiency made Chen Jian and others who provided technical support remotely both ecstatic and horrified.

...

A few days later.

In the quiet space.

A spacecraft with a punk style was heading in a certain direction.

"The No. 9 fuel tank was damaged due to unknown reasons. Please discard it immediately. The fuel redundancy is reduced to 37%." The system prompted.

"Why is another one broken?"

On the touch panel, Elon Musk selected the damaged fuel tank, clicked to release it, and said in a somewhat irritable mood.

Today is the 20th day of the journey to Mars. There are still half a year left. Two of the 36 fuel tanks are broken. How many intact ones will be left when they arrive near the orbit of Mars? Will the fuel redundancy be enough?

He felt a little uneasy.

"Lucas, do you think we can turn around and go back now?"

Elon Musk asked his partner in a low voice.

"Boss, the current picture is still being broadcast live around the world. You can't show your weakness." Lucas, his partner, said.

"But the speed of fuel tank damage exceeded my expectations. I'm worried that there won't be enough fuel available." He touched his chin and said.

"Don't worry."

Lucas gave him a comforting look: "No matter what happens, I'm by your side."

"Hey, what is that?"

Through the porthole, Elon Musk's eyes suddenly widened. He saw a square behemoth floating in the space not far away. It passed by them at a relatively fast speed.

Not long after, the second and third came... Counted to the tenth, and saw clearly what it was.

Container!

Hundreds of containers put together.

Much bigger than the tiny thing they were controlling.

"What is that, an alien freight train? Where is their destination? What are the aliens going to do? Or... am I hallucinating and having a weird space dream?"

Eron Musk muttered to himself.

His face was dumbfounded.

In his heart, he began to doubt the world and life.
