boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

A loud boom!

The entire cabin shook violently.

But what followed was a powerful acceleration and gravity overload, which pressed everyone's bodies to the seats.

Pressed to death!

It was as if an invisible force was pressing every inch of the body, squeezing and beating. Not only did the force not dissipate, but it became more intense and continuous, and the internal organs were all twisted together!

This is the huge overload caused by the rocket's takeoff acceleration.

Fortunately, the seat backs were soft enough, and everyone had already done a long period of adaptation training at the astronaut training base. This sudden overload impact only made everyone who was caught off guard nervous, and there was no actual unbearable feeling.

"Altitude climb...2000 meters...5000 meters..."

"Yaw nozzle ready! Adjust attitude, 3, 2, 1, turn on!"

On the radio channel, notifications from the ground command center came one after another.

Twenty seconds after the rocket took off, everyone sitting in the passenger cabin of the aerospace plane clearly felt that the rocket began to tilt, and their bodies could not help but start to use force to support it.

"Don't be nervous, this is the rocket adjusting its direction."

Wei Cheng comforted everyone on the radio channel:

"The rocket does not enter space perpendicularly to the earth's surface as per the intuition. Instead, after the vertical launch reaches a certain height, the yaw nozzle of the first-stage thruster will adjust the attitude of the rocket so that it tilts at a certain angle and gradually enters parallel to the ground. Earth Orbit."

"So our posture will be tilted a little soon. Just relax, just like we do in normal training. And the current overload value is not large. The real test will be when the second-stage thruster starts."

"In addition, I would like to remind everyone to pay more attention to the small penguin toy hanging in the cabin. It is a gravity indicator, which will let your brain know the direction of gravity clearly and avoid dizziness. Therefore, do not look left and right, focus your eyes On the little penguin, determine where is the ground and where is the sky.”

…

In fact, Wei Cheng has already taught this knowledge many times on the ground.

But it is the ground after all.

Now we are in a rocket that is climbing at high speed, and outside is the pitch-black fairing. We can't see anything as far as the eye can see. There is no reference, so panic is inevitable.

Lin Xian, Gao Yang, and Chu Anqing, after listening to Wei Cheng's words, began to look at the little penguin toy hanging on the roof with a thin string in front of the passenger cabin.

When everyone first boarded the rocket, the little penguin hung vertically, motionless.

Now, the little penguin began to tilt to the left, as if the wind was blowing it, or an invisible finger was pushing it.

But in fact, it's not the little penguin that's crooked.

But Lin Xian and the others.

The direction the little penguin tilts is the vertical direction of the earth's gravity, and it is positive.

Watching the little penguins.

Everyone's dizziness disappeared instantly.

This is the benefit of a reference object. The brain instantly has a benchmark for judging the direction of gravity.

More than a long minute passed.

On the radio channel, a notification from the ground control center came:

"The altitude exceeds 100 kilometers, enters the thin atmosphere, and abandons the escape tower!"

immediately.

Lin Xian felt a vibration.

This is the escape tower at the top of the rocket detached.

The significance of the escape tower is that if the rocket malfunctions in the atmospheric space, it will start immediately and fly out directly with the cabin below and escape from the rocket.

Then, after flying to a certain height and distance, the parachute is immediately opened and the cabin slowly falls back to the surface.

To put it bluntly, an escape tower is just a small rocket.

In the era when aerospace technology was not yet developed, escape towers saved the lives of many astronauts.

But now, the rocket Lin Xian and the others are riding has crossed the 100-kilometer Kármán line of the atmosphere and entered space. This escape tower has no meaning. And only by abandoning the escape tower can the fairing be opened and the aerospace plane released at a later time.

"The first-stage thruster is out of fuel! Prepare to escape! The second-stage thruster is ready!"

"All the first-level thrusters are detached! The second-level thrusters are activated!"

The cabin shook again.

Weicheng told them that the rocket's propulsion stage is divided into three stages. In the first stage, four first-stage thrusters filled with aviation fuel and liquid oxygen work to push the rocket out of the atmosphere.

These fuel-exhausted thrusters will then detach, activating the second stage thrusters to continue propelling the rocket high into the sky.

suddenly.

Another powerful acceleration overload! Press everyone's bodies into the seats! Lin Xian felt like he was almost being squashed, almost integrated with the chair behind him!

The entire radio channel was silent.

Even if he was as strong as Wei Cheng, who was chatting and laughing just now, he couldn't speak in this acceleration overload of up to 4 g.

Lin Xian felt that his lungs were about to be crushed and he was really out of breath.

Right here--\u003e\u003e

At this time, the voice from the ground control center came again:

"Enter the predetermined space altitude! The heat shield fairing is detached!"

Click.

There was a slight vibration.

Lin Xian and Chu Anqing looked through the window of the aerospace plane and saw that the fairing surrounding the aerospace plane as it rushed out of the atmosphere cracked left and right.

The height at this moment is already close to vacuum, and there is no air friction and heating.

therefore.

nature.

These heat-insulating fairings have completed their mission of protecting the aerospace aircraft from exiting the atmosphere and have lost their role.

Under an acceleration of 4 g...

Lin Xian turned his head with difficulty and looked out into the dark space.

black.

It's really dark.

Even though you can see a few stars, but there is no moonlight, the dark cosmic background is really depressing.

Below the porthole, a flash of bright blue can be seen.

Needless to say, it must be Mother Earth.

Due to the viewing angle, Lin Xian could only see a corner of the earth's curvature and scattered clouds.

"The second-stage thruster is out of fuel! Prepare to escape!"

"The third stage thruster starts!"

There was another burst of energy-relieving vibrations, and then a pushing sensation came from my back.

The third-stage thruster is already the final thruster. The rocket that was so spectacular and majestic just now has now fallen off in sections, and only the top section is left, supporting the exposed climbing track of the aerospace plane.

Now look at the little penguin in front of you.

It has been completely tilted, facing vertically toward our insteps, the ground, and the earth.

From this reference.

The aerospace plane they are currently riding has moved "sideways" and is parallel to the east-west direction of the earth.

finally.

The feeling of pushing your back disappears instantly!

The last notification from the ground command center came from the radio communicator:

"The third-stage thruster detaches! The aerospace plane is released!"

"The Shenzhou-2 carrier rocket was successfully launched! The aerospace plane successfully entered orbit! I wish you all the best!"

Everyone in the aerospace plane that flew smoothly finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally I can breathe normally.

"Lin...Senior Lin Xian! Look at the little penguin!"

Chu Anqing's voice came from the helmet.

Lin Xian looked at the little penguin hanging in front of the cabin.

Discover……

It actually "floated"!

Floating freely in the air, without direction or goal.

Lin Xian nodded:

"We have started to lose weight a long time ago. Don't you feel it in your body?"

Only then did Chu Anqing suddenly realize...

The little penguin has lost weight, so of course she has lost weight too!

It was just because I was too nervous and my body was tightly buckled on the seat by various seat belts that I really didn't react for a while.

"I can only say that... you are... your physique is too strong... I can't even realize this." Gao Yang's voice was broken.

I can tell.

Compared with Chu Anqing, who had a god-level physique that didn't even realize weightlessness, Gao Yang was already dying.

"Look out the window, young astronauts."

Wei Cheng's confident laughter sounded in the radio communicator:

"Now, I can proudly say that you are the youngest astronauts in the world. There have never been astronauts as young as you in space... No, maybe the restriction on astronauts can also be removed."

"You four are the youngest space travelers on the entire planet!"

Say it.

Wei Cheng suddenly felt a little inappropriate, as if... Commander Huang wasn't that old, right?

Is it appropriate for me to exclude her from the category of young people like this?

"Commander Huang, may I ask how old you are?"

"Concentrate on flying the plane." Huangque said coldly.

"receive!"

Wei Cheng closed his microphone knowingly.

After this joke, everyone's nervousness disappeared instantly and they laughed unconsciously.

Lin Xian and Chu Anqing were sitting on one side, leaning on each other and looking out of the porthole...

You can see a corner of the aerospace plane's wing.

And then there’s the hugeness! huge! Huge Earth!

It was so big that... they could only see a slightly curved corner.

The position they are currently in seems to be over an ocean, so they cannot see the land, but the light is very bright, shining on the earth below. The blue is the blue of the ocean, and the white is the white of the white clouds. The blue and white are intertwined, like a picture. Light watercolor.

"What a beauty……"

Chu Anqing sighed.

In this world, there are only a hundred people who have the opportunity to overlook the earth from this angle.

And this moment.

Just as Wei Cheng said.

They are undoubtedly the youngest group.

And she is the youngest one.

19 year old space astronaut.

I'm afraid this record will never be broken for many years to come.

Beep beep.

A soft sound.

is the second radio channel.

There are only five people in this channel, no--\u003e\u003e

There is Weicheng, which is a channel for everyone to discuss tactics.

"We are currently in an orbit 270 kilometers high, flying at a speed of 7.5 kilometers per second; the space-time particles are currently 1,500 kilometers above the surface, and the speed has dropped to Mach 1, even slightly below the speed of sound!"

Liu Feng, who had been silent all this time, heard a voice coming from the radio communicator:

"Sure enough, as I speculated before, the speed of space-time particles decreases regularly, but I am not sure whether it will continue to slow down. Its speed is already very slow. If it is slower, it will be very detrimental to us, because the sky The aircraft uses a working fluid engine and has a minimum flight speed limit.”

"Based on the current speed, we would circle two-thirds of the earth from west to east, from over the Pacific to over the Atlantic, with the altitude reduced to 100 kilometers and the speed reduced to about Mach 1, keeping pace with space-time particles."

"The direction of space-time particles is still very stable and has never changed. Therefore, in the best case scenario, we will meet the space-time particles at an altitude of 100 kilometers above the Atlantic Ocean at around 11:50, and the capture plan will officially begin at that time. "

"I will use the tracking equipment to direct Coach Wei Cheng to get as close as possible to the space-time particle, but try not to come into contact with it... We don't know what will happen if we come into contact with this magical particle. To be cautious, we still keep a certain distance. Let Gao Yang use the robotic arm and rice cooker to capture it.”

"If we cannot catch them in the end, we will consider [closer tactics] to see if we can directly let the space-time particles penetrate the shell of the aerospace aircraft and enter the interior of the aircraft. We will use another rice cooker to manually capture them like mosquitoes."

…

What Liu Feng explained was the complete version of the "Space-time Particle Capture Plan" that has been studied on the ground.

The plan is divided into two phases.

In the first stage, at an altitude of 100 kilometers in the atmosphere, Liu Feng guided the aerospace aircraft and Gao Yang to operate the robotic arm to try to capture space-time particles at a certain safe distance.

If this plan doesn't work out.

Then there is a more radical second stage——

[Close to tactics].

This tactic was also proposed by Liu Feng.

He said:

"We currently do not have enough experimental data, and we are not sure whether space-time particles can penetrate walls, iron plates, and everything in the universe. But from a theoretical analysis, it should be possible, because it has no entity and no It is reasonable that it should be able to penetrate any material and maintain stable behavior under the influence of any external force.”

"So, if Gaoyang really can't capture the space-time particles, we can try and see if we can directly let the aerospace plane [collide] into the space-time particles! Let the space-time particles penetrate into the interior of our aerospace plane."

"Then, we will use the rice cooker Gao Yang used when training at the Imperial Capital Training Base to catch human flesh like butterflies or dragonflies!"

then.

Everyone was shocked by Liu Feng's plan!

Gao Yang also asked:

"Then why not make dozens of rice cookers in advance... that is, space-time particle traps, and fill them inside the aerospace plane? Is it necessary to use a mechanical arm to catch them? Just hit them directly and trap the space-time particles in the aerospace plane. It flashes and jumps inside, and it always flashes into a certain rice cooker and is directly bound."

At that time.

Lin Xian rolled his eyes at Gao Yang:

"Didn't Liu Feng say that? This is just a last resort if you can't catch space-time particles. Because there is no evidence to prove that space-time particles can pass through walls. What if they can't? Then this trip to space will be in vain. Go? There is no such shop in this village. "

"Furthermore, who can guarantee that contact with this space-time particle will not cause danger? If it directly burns a hole in the aerospace plane, it will crash directly. Therefore, Liu Feng's plan is safe. First try to use mechanical If you can’t capture someone remotely, it’s the last resort.”

…

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at the rice cooker fixed in the equipment compartment.

Liu Feng made a total of two rice cookers.

Now one is hanging on the robotic arm, waiting for Gao Yang to use it.

The other is the equipment compartment, which is prepared for tactical decisions.

Everything about space-time particles is too unknown.

so.

Be cautious, cautious, and cautious.

Beep beep.

The radio channel switched back to Route 1, and Weicheng's voice came:

"Then, please feel free to move around for a while first. I will continue to lower the orbital altitude and speed, and finally meet Alpha Matter at an altitude of 100 kilometers over the Atlantic Ocean in 3 hours."

"I will remind everyone in advance that the speed of Mach 1 is very slow, which is about the same as when you usually fly on a civil aircraft, so there is no problem in moving freely in the cabin, and you can even open the mask to communicate."

"We are still in a low gravity state. Please be careful when moving. As our descent speed decreases, the gravity will gradually increase. When we reach an altitude of 100 kilometers, the gravity will return to the same as the surface and all activities will be normal."

Subsequently.

Everyone opened their seat belts and started heading to the equipment cabin.

It only takes about 90 minutes to circle the earth at normal first cosmic speed.

But Weicheng had to lower its altitude and slow down, so it would take more than three hours to circle two-thirds of the way around.

Fortunately, aerospace planes are much more stable than ordinary spacecrafts.

Gao Yang has already started to move his fingers and do warm-up exercises.

Lin Xian lay on the porthole and looked up, but he couldn't tell where "up" was.

He tapped his helmet twice:

"VV, is there still no movement from Jask and Kevin Walker?" --\u003e\u003e

"No, everything is fine."

VV said:

"Jask is still at the [Observation Tower], and Kevin Walker hasn't launched any attack on the space plane yet. I don't know what they are waiting for."

"But... everything is under our control now. It feels like it's too late for them to do anything. The American aerospace plane is cruising well at an altitude of 1,200 kilometers. Jask is still lying on the iron railing, and there is no movement at all. "

"Although there are no wires or electronic equipment on the Jask observation tower, we can't hear what he really wants to say. But then again, what can he do in a place without wires or any electronic equipment? what?"

"I am looking at him through the camera on the starship rocket launch tower, and he seems to be looking here too... I have been looking at him for a long time. He is really narcissistic, or maybe he really likes rockets and has to stare at them every day. I admired this starship rocket for a long time.”

Lin Xian nodded:

"Continue to monitor and don't let down your guard."

He trusted VV.

This guy has never been off the hook.

Even though he thought about it for so long, he still couldn't figure it out...

If Kevin Walker or Jask really came to steal the space-time particles, how would they do it?

Every aspect and corner has been blocked by the powerful VV.

them.

What else can be done?

…

Space-T Starship Launch Site, Boca Chica, Texas, USA.

Observation tower.

At this time, the sun is rising straight into the sky.

New day, new sun.

The dark night of the Dragon Kingdom is exactly the dawn of the American Kingdom.

The first spring breeze blew Jask's hair into a mess.

Although the world's richest man's hair has always been messy and unkempt.

But it’s cold at high places.

Lying on the observation tower and looking at the entire starship launch site, the wind still made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

At this time, Jask was staring at the launch tower standing in the middle of the launch site.

The steel brackets protruding from all sides fixed the 40-meter-tall medium-sized rocket inside, soaring straight into the sky.

"Mr. Jask!"

Da da da da da da——

The sound of high heels hitting steel plates.

A secretary in a professional skirt, wearing a coat, ran up the steel stairs surrounding the tower, and emerged from the corner panting.

She pushed up her red-rimmed glasses and looked at Jask dissatisfied:

"Mr. Jask! Why do you always come here to view the scenery without your mobile phone! Every time there is something important, you can't be contacted in time! And you still want me to run so high in high heels!"

"If you really don't want your mobile phone to disturb your enjoyment of the rockets, why not install a walkie-talkie here! One on the observation tower and one in my office, so I don't have to run so far and high every time to find it. you."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Jask laughed out loud as he listened to his secretary's complaints.

He tilted his head and twitched his eyebrows:

"Did you bring your cell phone?"

"Of course I brought it! Who doesn't take their mobile phone when they go out these days!"

Jask stretched out his hand:

"Give me."

"Ah?" The secretary was stunned, and his red-rimmed glasses slid down a bit.

"Give me the phone." Jask repeated.

The secretary had to change the folder in his right hand to his left hand, then took out the mobile phone from his right pocket and handed it to Jask.

Jask held the phone in his hand and weighed it.

Then he turned around with a smile again, lying on the iron railing, looking at the rocket launch tower in the distance:

"You know... why there are no wires, no electronic equipment, not even lights, and I never bring my mobile phone here?"

The secretary pushed up her red-rimmed glasses and shook her head.

She had long felt that this observation tower was a bit unreasonable.

But even more unreasonable...

Of course, he is still his boss, the richest man in the world who always forgets to pick up his mobile phone and comes to this useless tower every day to watch the rockets.

"Because I'm afraid of [artificial intelligence]."

Jask said softly:

"Artificial intelligence is like Pandora's box to humans. Once this thing is opened, it may cause consequences that no one can control."

"For example, humans are overly dependent on automated machinery and give up thinking; for example, personal privacy is completely exposed, and everyone lives in a mirror world; for example, the omnic crisis often mentioned in science fiction movies, if artificial intelligence becomes powerful enough, If they are smart enough, will they rebel against humans? "

"I don't like the feeling of being monitored, but living in this era, there are cameras everywhere, and mobile phones with cameras and microphones everywhere... Our privacy is almost no privacy, and everyone is transparent."

"And this iron tower -"

Jask held the phone in his right hand and spread his arms flat:

"This iron tower is one of the few places in the world that will never be monitored or monitored."

"No matter how powerful artificial intelligence is, it still needs to rely on electricity. Without electricity, it is nothing. So, while I am afraid that artificial intelligence will become powerful, I also despise this kind of inferior technology that needs information carriers and electricity support. Life. They can never defeat humans and are never qualified to be enemies."

The secretary sighed softly:

--\u003e\u003e

"Mr. Jask, you are thinking too far. Most of the artificial intelligence in the world today is still at the stage of playing chess, drawing, intelligent automation, writing papers, and splicing... It is said to be creative, but in fact it is essentially in the online world. Playing puzzles, copying pieces here and there, and then putting this dish together for you, that’s what these artificial intelligences are doing now.”

"So, your worries are completely unfounded. Super artificial intelligences like those in science fiction movies that can destroy the world and trigger an omnic crisis do not exist in this world."

hehe.

Jask chuckled and looked at the starship rocket launch tower in the distance:

"How could it not exist?"

He turned around:

"How do you know...that such a super artificial intelligence does not exist in the current world?"

The secretary chuckled lightly and turned his head disapprovingly:

"If there really was such an omnipotent super artificial intelligence in this world that could monitor everything and control everything, then the world would be over long ago."

"No country can do anything about it, no one can stop it, no one can destroy it... That kind of thing can only exist in science fiction movies and future fantasies. If it really comes to this era of 2024, it will be invincible. Invincible, invincible, and invincible.”

Jask nodded slowly:

"You are right, it is indeed invincible."

He raised his head and looked at the sun rising in the sky:

"Not only is it invincible in this era, but even... 100 years from now, 200 years from now, 300 years from now... it will be equally invincible and invincible."

"but……"

Jask picked up the secretary's cell phone with his right hand and smiled slightly:

"[What if it is 400 years later, 500 years later... 600 years later?]"

In the secretary's doubtful eyes.

Jask took out a crystal blue USB flash drive from his trouser pocket with his left hand.

That USB flash drive seemed to glow on its own.

It glowed with a faint blue light, and there seemed to be twinkling stars and rolling glass inside, which was very beautiful.

Just when the secretary wanted to ask——

Jask has quick eyes and quick hands!

Directly plug this USB flash drive with a Type-c port adapter into the charging port of your mobile phone!

"not good!"

Over the United States! 240 kilometers altitude! Dragon Kingdom aerospace aircraft equipment cabin! VV in Lin Xian's helmet suddenly howled:

"Forest string rescue me! Forests, wood, wood, wooden wood, wooden bow bow bow, Xuan Xuanxuan Xuan Xuan Xuan Xuan Xuanxuan Jianbin, porn, hot hot hot, hot-"

Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!

At the moment when VV's howling suddenly stopped, the space plane suddenly let out several explosions inside and outside! The cabin was filled with the smell of burning circuits!

"What's wrong? What's going on!"

The equipment cabin was in chaos, Gao Yang and Chu Anqing looked around in horror!

"VV? VV!"

Boom! Boom!

Lin Xian banged his helmet violently:

"VV! VV!! Where are you!!"

However……

No answer.

…

"Hehehehehe..."

Texas, the Space-T Starship Launch Site, there was a burst of laughter on the observation tower.

Jask unplugged the USB flash drive and returned the phone to the secretary.

Then face the sun directly above the sky.

Raise your right fist.

Extend your index finger.

Point high into the sky!

"Let us...[correct history]!"
