Build Madness

To explore the universe, we must first grasp the laws of the movement of celestial bodies.

Like Mars.

It is the fourth planet counted from the inside to the outside of the solar system. Affected by the movement of celestial bodies, it is about 55 million to 400 million kilometers away from its parent star.

This 55 million kilometers refers to the sun, the parent star, and Mars, three points and one line.

This 400 million kilometers means that Mars runs to the other side of the sun, Mars, the sun, and the parent star, three points and one line.

In actual space travel, humans do not currently have any propulsion system that is powerful enough to travel directly along the shortest distance between Mars and the parent star.

If you plan to go to Mars, the most time-saving and cost-effective way is to wait for the parent star to meet Mars at a close distance, let the launch vehicle follow an elliptical orbit, take advantage of the revolution speed of the parent star, and use the least fuel consumption to send the spacecraft to Flick to Mars.

This is the famous 'Höhmann transfer orbit'.

It is also the foundation of Tiancheng's "Earth-Moon Orbit Change".

However, according to the laws of the movement of the parent star and Mars, the two encounter each other at close range and only appear once every two years.

And this phenomenon is called "Mars opposition to the sun", and this time period is called the "launch window period" for the aerospace field.

In general, if you plan to land on Mars, or plan to put a spacecraft on Mars, you not only have to wait for the "window period" that only occurs every two years, but you also have to travel farther than the shortest straight-line distance from your parent star to Mars. Triple the distance to complete the entire project.

At present, the speed of conventional spacecraft on the parent star is about 6-16km/s. Based on the voyage of 5,500 kilometers x 3 times of the 'Mars opposition', it will take at least 7 months for one-way deployment and launch in advance.

During the long-term flight of the spacecraft, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. Once an accident occurs, more than one billion Franklin will be in vain.

Therefore, 2003 has also become very important to the aerospace field.

Because after the distance between Mars and the parent star was 58.8 million kilometers in 1988, on August 27 this year, the distance between Mars and the parent star was shortened again, breaking through to 55.76 million kilometers, which is the closest time since the parent star to Mars in 60,000 years!

The next time can only wait until 2018, and the rest of the time, all exceed 60 million kilometers.

In order to welcome the arrival of Mars, the major space agencies on the parent star have deployed in advance, some have launched exploration satellites, some have invested in radio telescopes that can penetrate the atmosphere, and some have launched the Hubble Space Telescope...

This is the main reason why Tiancheng disclosed the 'Aerospace Construction Contract Quotation' many times this year.

However, Tiancheng Aerospace Department did not formulate a plan to explore Mars, but aimed at Ceres, which is located between Mars and Jupiter, in the asteroid belt.

Well, between Mars and Jupiter, there is a huge planetary belt, and most of the meteorites that appear on the parent star come from there.

And Ceres, on the inner side of this asteroid belt, is constantly revolving around the sun.

Its orbit is similar to that of Mars, and is also elliptical, divided into 'perihelion' and 'aphelion'.

When Ceres and the parent star are on the same side of the sun, and the parent star is at the aphelion, and Ceres is at the perihelion, the distance between Ceres and the parent star is about 159 million kilometers.

This is the closest distance between the two planets, and the farthest is as much as 672 million kilometers.

Taking into account the influence of celestial bodies, orbit switching, daily maintenance and other factors, at the current speed of conventional spacecraft, the time to reach Ceres is about 3 to 10 years.

In other words, when the shortest straight-line distance is 159 million kilometers, it will take at least 3 years for the spacecraft to reach Ceres along the orbit.

When the straight-line distance exceeds 672 million kilometers, the spacecraft will travel along the orbit and it will take at least 10 years to reach Ceres.

And next year, when the northern hemisphere ushers in summer and the parent star is at the 'aphelion point', it will usher in the shortest distance between the parent star and Ceres.

If you miss this time, even if Tiancheng's spacecraft can use the 'gravitational slingshot' and use system resources to continuously accelerate, without a black technology engine, it will take at least five or six years to go to Ceres.

And if this opportunity is seized, with the advantage of opening and hanging, Tiancheng's spacecraft will be able to reach the predetermined orbit of Ceres ahead of schedule and meet Ceres, which came from afar, in just one year.

In order to seize this opportunity, Tiancheng Aerospace Department made a decisive decision, gave up exploring Mars, even terminated the orbit launch project, and dispatched the No. 2 aircraft to drive the never-ending "Super Sky Monkey" to the established orbit of Ceres.

As for why explore Ceres?

The diameter of Ceres is 950km, which is about one-third that of the moon and one-thirteenth that of the parent star.

When the space shuttle in space is locked by the space telescope and observed and analyzed, the center console, which is a product of the system, gives a prompt:

'This is likely to be a differentiated planet with a rocky core, and its mantle layer contains a large amount of ice water. It is now detected that its surface has a large amount of water-carrying minerals. It is preliminarily speculated that water accounts for 40% of the planet's volume. In addition, the The planet can also obtain energy through the stars, the surface has a certain climate, and it is suspected that there is a magnetic field. '

As we all know, life requires 3 basic elements: liquid water, energy sources and certain chemical components (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur, etc.).

Referring to the system prompts, Ceres obviously has the conditions for life to survive, and compared to other potentially habitable planets, Ceres also has advantages.

At least people are completely unable to travel to other potentially habitable planets now.

In addition, today, the Ministry of Aeronautics and Space has denied the possibility of developing real estate on the moon, and Mercury and Venus are not the current technology that can play well, North America has not made much progress in exploring Mars for decades, and Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all gaseous, located between Mars and Mars. Ceres, between Jupiters, becomes the best choice.

However, what I never expected was...

The space telescope in outer space, without the cover of the atmosphere, actually photographed two groups of light spots and a pyramid-like object on the surface of Ceres.

Of course, after systematic scientific analysis, it was finally determined that they were oceans and volcanoes.

In other words, it was a volcanic eruption that melted the water-carrying minerals on the surface and formed an ocean that was not yet frozen.

Since Ceres has no atmosphere, the light intensity is extremely high, eventually forming one left and one right reflection.

but……

Other countries with astronomical telescopes and space telescopes on the parent star do not have a system to help analyze.

If it gets out...

……………

On September 21st, Panda Guardian no longer frantically brushed 'Ge xx', but exploded!

No matter which board, entries such as 'alien creature', 'alien civilization', 'parent planet crisis', etc. are frantically swiping.

Even the major news media, including Huaxia TV, also carried out long-term and large-scale objective reports on the new discovery of Ceres.

Very sensational.

Even the Iraq war in North America and the anti-Japanese parade some time ago are far inferior to the response caused by today's news.

Coincidentally, last year a UFO crashed into the Great Lakes of North America, and this year there was a kangaroo incident in Australia...

Putting it all together...

Even the parties involved, the North American NA Space Agency, believed it!

Immediately contacted Tiancheng 101 Laboratory, which had a good relationship with me under the name of "Science Without Borders", and asked for the space coordinates, and then activated the Hubble Space Telescope, which has been reluctant to use, to lock on Ceres.

Then...

"Indeed there is!"

Five hours later, not only the North American NA responded, but also the Galileo Research Office of the European Union, the Nordic Astronomy Research Office, Wajima Aerospace Research Institute, Nanyang Taimei Aerospace Information Company, the African Union Aerospace Group, and Nanlian Aerospace Development Corporation ( Montenegro Odyssey)...

They also showed 'light groups' and 'pyramids' taken from different angles.

Then.

England was startled, "Where did you get so many space telescopes? Big Brother and Nordic have them, I believe, but you bunch of poor ghosts?"

Montenegro: "Who are you calling poor? The 200 million loan is gone."

England: "..."

In the field of aerospace, no one will explain the truth to competitors.

Therefore, all of a sudden, there was an endless stream of aerospace construction orders flying to Tiancheng.

Tiancheng International Holdings also put up various celebration titles on the company's official website.

"Congratulations to Tiancheng, won the full construction order of the Franklin Space Launch Center invested by Montenegro Odyssey and worth 4.5 billion."

"Congratulations to Tiancheng, won the full construction order of the space launch site invested by the African Union (South Africa) and worth 2.7 billion Franklin."

"Congratulations to Tiancheng, being awarded Nanyang Thai Girl..."

"Congratulations Tian Cheng..."

"Congratulations to Tiancheng, the total amount of overseas construction orders in 2003 exceeded 200 billion Franklin, including Dubai World Island, Dubai Underwater Complex, Greek Olympic Island, Asia-Europe Bridge, South African Railway, South African Sports System, Viking Paradise..."

When the business world was shaken three times by Tiancheng, and netizens were also stimulated by the "alien civilization", the Internet trend changed, and they returned to the world in VR again.

Tiancheng Shiguangji has long been recognized by netizens as the most stable, domineering, and strongest server on the parent star, bar none.

In the past three years since it was put into operation, there has never been a 'shutdown' incident, although there have been lags.

What's more, this time it was closed in a hurry on the grounds of 'irresistible factors'.

Netizens have connected 'Ceres', 'UFO' and 'Australian kangaroo incident' in series, and finally came to the conclusion that the Ceres civilization invaded the mother planet.

In this way, there is an answer to all this.

Netizens who firmly believe in this, gathered at the Panda Guard—Tiancheng section, Boss Aitge.

"Mmp, this guy is really interested in money, Aite will charge for it!"

"There is no charge, there are people who attack you every day, are you annoying?"

"..."

for a long time.

"Old Ge, it's almost enough. In the past ten minutes, you've made money too. Come out and answer questions!"

"Okay, here we come!"

"Huh? Why is 'Da Hei'?"

"Ah... sorry, I used the wrong vest."

"..."

"Brothers, if you want to know anything, just ask."

"The people in the world in VR are really aliens?"

"Sorry, we are in the process of further confirmation, and the relevant information will be reported to everyone as soon as the conclusion is reached.

However, for the sake of experimentation, we are planning to open another set of servers on September 28. At that time, everyone can log in to the world in VR again and participate in the new exploration of the "virtual home planet".

It should be noted that if someone finds an 'unknown person', please be sure to lock the other party through the interactive button and contact VR Tianwei.

This helps us to carry out further research on unknown groups, which is also one of the means for us humans to unite and protect our own civilization. "

"Old Ge, so it is possible for them or them to appear in the new VR world?"

"It's hard to say, our spacecraft has already gone to Ceres, and I also plan to allocate hundreds of millions of funds to increase investment in Tiancheng Aerospace Department, Daqin Bingfeng, Tianwei Group, etc., with technology and military power.

I believe that everyone should not know that the capital invested in the aerospace field by the parent star is actually very little, not even comparable to the military expenditure of a medium-sized region.

If we can concentrate our efforts to accomplish great things, I believe that with the accumulation of massive funds and the joint efforts of countless scientists, we will definitely be able to protect our home planet!

Believe in Tiancheng, we can do it! "

"Old Ge, according to what you mean, it seems to mean... we may break out an interstellar war?"

"It's hard to say.

Because according to the principles of Tiancheng universe, in fact, alien creatures, like us, are currently in the novice village and cannot get out of their own galaxy groups.

As for some unscientific events, or alien events that cannot be explained.

I can assure you that they are all fake. Even if one case is true, it is just like the big bosses in the game who were just born with krypton gold. They just happened to pass by our Novice Village.

This kind of boss doesn't bother to pay attention to us, and just wants to find higher-level wild monster areas.

Of course, we don't have to be disappointed, because the mother goddess Nuwa is a super VIP. Before leaving, she prepared a big gift bag and a "super cheat" for us, and we will soon catch up with the krypton gold bosses. "

"Old Ge, I'm in a panic now, don't talk nonsense."

"How can it be called nonsense, as I said in an interview in Tacheng before, it turns out that if we stay on the home planet to study the universe, we will never fly out of the solar system, because this is a cosmic rule.

It's like dividing the map into novice village, low-level monster area, intermediate monster area, and high-level monster area in the game...

The same is true of the universe.

Therefore, there is the first cosmic speed, the second cosmic speed, the third cosmic speed...

They respectively correspond to the parent star, the solar system, the Milky Way, the local group of galaxies...

If we want to reach the local galaxy group, which is the fourth universe, we must first develop the solar system to adapt to the environment of each planet in the solar system, and then develop the galaxy to adapt to the environment of each planet in the galaxy.

Speaking of this, I have to say that the mother goddess Nuwa is loving. She has prepared nine celestial bodies with different environments, including the mother star, for us to help us study the universe. (In 2003, there were still nine planets, and in 2006, Pluto was removed)

It also includes numerous moons and dwarf planets.

It's like a rookie who just created a game character and suddenly gets a super gift package from the GM.

Therefore, we must cherish these resources, and we must use these resources reasonably as soon as possible.

That's why, don't worry about interstellar wars, because alien creatures, like us, all stay in their novice villages, and they are still infinitely far away from us. There will be no civilization clashes at all, at least not in our generation.

And what we have to do now is to study hard and make progress every day! "

"Old Ge, you may not believe it when you say it, but just when you were babbling, the world in the previous VR automatically opened."

"How can it be?!"

Boss Ge hurried off the assembly line.

at the same time.

Hundreds of millions of netizens have entered the VR world that should have been closed.

Not surprisingly, I met those strange 'people'.

in.

A netizen passed by the school and saw the "alien junior high school students" who were teaching. Their teaching method was not a small blackboard, but virtual AR, forming images directly in front of them.

Moreover, the universe theory they learn is not the current dynamic diagram of the solar system that is currently popular on the parent star, or in other words, it is not the nine planets orbiting the sun.

Instead, the sun led a group of younger brothers who spiraled around him, circling a nebula in circles.

Among them is the blue star, which is his home star.

"this……"

The netizen uploads a short video.

Soon, a lecturer at a vocational university commented: "This is correct, but it is difficult for our junior high school students to understand this form of the universe, so let's first learn the form of a week centered on the sun."

"But, teacher, the 'gravity' of the universe they talk about is not universal gravitation."

"It's also correct. In the universe, the so-called 'gravity' is just a kind of 'space-time bending'. There is a related explanation in the 02 edition textbook of Astronautics of Tiancheng Technical Secondary School."

"No, what I read in textbooks is indeed gravity."

"No, what you learned before was actually centrifugal force, but there is no centrifugal force in the universe. You have to remember that the main cause of the celestial system is not gravity, but the curvature of space-time caused by mass."

"???"

"If you want to learn more about it, you can sign up for Tiancheng Online School, or Tiancheng Technical Secondary School, or Tiancheng Continuing Education. The teachers there will help you correct your previous misunderstandings."

"..."

Every netizen who enters the world in VR will be destroyed in an instant, and even overturn their previous cognition.

When I returned to the Panda Guardian Forum, I saw countless new 'science posts' popping up...

"It's over, the alien civilization is too powerful!"

"Made, in terms of education, we are not at the same level at all!"

"Where's Old Ge?"

………

Ge Xiaotian was sitting in the Tacheng Aerospace Department, looking at the background of the server.

The corner of Dao's mouth twitched, "Boss, I don't think releasing all the scientific systems is a good thing for young people who are in the education stage."

"Have you heard the contention of a hundred schools of thought? If you always adhere to a scientific system, who can guarantee that it is correct? If multiple schools are born, compete with each other, and learn from each other, in order to integrate a stronger 'discipline', isn't it 'you' Is it the strength of it?"

"Well, you're right, you're right."

"Let people learn and learn first in the world in VR, and a week later, the Western Eleven Gala will start."

"Okay, but boss, the 'heat pump' is about to be completed, I guess it will activate the upgrade condition, why don't you go and see it?"

"The last building of the fifth-level mastermind?"

"If you missed nothing, it should be, but this upgrade has nothing to do with the main brain building. I suspect it is the control of the utilization rate of the ability."

"Go, let's take a look first."
