Interstellar Energy Tycoon

After more than three hours of flying on a light-energy passenger plane, we arrived in Jiuquan City smoothly.

Pei Xingzhou was warmly welcomed by the staff, and he moved into the training base that day and got proper arrangements.

But from the early morning of the next day, there was no extra time for people to adjust their status, so the formal training began, together with thousands of companions who arrived in Jiuquan City.

tired.

The physical training in the morning is really a bit tiring.

The scientific theory class in the afternoon is very simple and relaxed, mainly based on common sense knowledge, and junior high school students can understand most of it. The teachers also repeatedly emphasized that if you go to Mars, as long as you don’t make any common sense mistakes, your life will not be in danger. So we must firmly remember.

Pei Xingzhou originally thought that in order to reach a fully qualified level, the training would take at least one month, or even two or three months, and it would not end casually.

But half a month later, at the end of September, he took the final exam and got an average of more than 90 points. He easily obtained the qualification certificate, and all the partners who participated in the training with him also passed it smoothly.

This shows that the threshold for entering space has been lowered again. As long as there is no particularly serious disease in the body and the age is less than 60 years old, they are eligible and have the opportunity to enter space development, and the pass rate is at least 90%.

Pei Xingzhou didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing? Will it bring some risks?

But this also proves that the era of interstellar development has come. He is not only a witness of this new era, but also a personal participant. He became the first pioneer to immigrate to other planets. Thinking about it, he is quite proud and proud.

Waited another day or two.

October 1.

Pei Xingzhou and other first batch of qualified personnel who completed the training put on airtight protective suits, boarded a passenger transport spaceship, and then the energy supply light beam fell, the spaceship accelerated into the sky, and soon entered the boundless dark space .

Through the glass porthole of the spaceship.

Pei Xingzhou can see that the outer space has become extremely lively, even a little crowded.

There are a large number of commonly used satellites.

There are photovoltaic arrays, energy main roads, energy relay satellites, etc. of Xingyuan Group.

There is also a huge space city that has been half completed.

There are a large number of aerospace planes, transport spacecraft, tourist airliners, and space containers that travel to and from adrift states.

There are also Tiangong space station, space factory, and space scientific research facilities.

As well as the criss-crossing, weaving like a net of yellow energy beams, there are hundreds of thousands of beams at work every moment, just like the scene of an interstellar war. Fortunately, the destructive power of the energy beams is not enough, otherwise any space The device must be careful, trying to avoid being swept by the beam of light to parts other than the metal receiver.

"I didn't expect that space is so lively now. I may have lost touch with this era. If I knew that outer space is so lively, I should have entered the sea of ​​stars earlier."

Pei Xingzhou couldn't help expressing emotion, there was indeed a feeling of eye-opening and the pattern in his chest being opened.

He suddenly felt that any small matter on the blue star was nothing compared to this infinite sea of ​​stars. In this universe, it is estimated that only events such as supernova explosions, black hole mergers, and neutron star collisions are slightly insignificant. It is worth mentioning, but it means the intense conversion of countless substances and energies, which may be equivalent to the instantaneous explosion of all the energy of the entire sun.

In comparison, he broke up and fell in love a million times, which seems insignificant. There is no need to care too much, and even fall into depression, because no one cares, and it has no effect on this universe.

"It's better to do something more meaningful."

Pei Xingzhou secretly thought that his mentality has undergone a huge change, and he is no longer depressed. He just wants to start a career, and he just wants to do a big job.

soon.

The ship slowed down.

At the Lagrangian point more than 100,000 kilometers away from the blue star, a larger interstellar spacecraft appeared in front of everyone.

Its length exceeds five hundred meters.

The height and width are more than 100 meters.

The shape is like a standard cuboid.

But there are huge hemispherical metal covers at both ends of the head and tail, which are used to absorb the beam of energy supply and convert it into a large amount of electricity.

In addition, in the middle of the spacecraft, there are two fin-like devices extending out, on which are installed a large number of ion engines, which can generate surging power.

The interior of this giant spaceship has as many as 20 floors. It can not only carry a large number of passengers, but also accommodate nearly a million tons of various materials. It has an extremely large belly.

The first batch of lunar immigrants with more than 10,000 people can not only accommodate them, but even occupy a very small space on the spacecraft. The rest of the space is used to store living materials, building materials, tools and equipment, water, air, etc., satisfying tens of thousands of people. One year's basic survival needs are no problem.

This is Huaguo's first large immigrant spaceship—Homeland.

It weighs 130,000 tons in its empty state, and tens of thousands of shipyard workers used the technology of building segments on the ground and then assembling in space. It took more than a year to build a large spacecraft with a specific displacement of 100,000. A ton-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is much bigger.

However, in terms of technical complexity, the structure and technology of the aircraft carrier are obviously much more complicated. In terms of the effective space utilization rate, the aircraft carrier only has about 60% of the space utilization rate, but the space utilization rate of the "Homeland" exceeds 90%. Simple, reliable performance to describe.

Because there is no huge nuclear reactor device inside the 'Homeland'.

There is no complicated bearing transmission structure.

There are also not a lot of pipes and wires.

These are the benefits brought by the use of light beams for energy, that is, the "Homeland" itself can cut off the most complicated power system, and just prepare more batteries and superconducting capacitors.

The engine does not need any transmission shaft, as long as it supplies enough energy and working medium.

The rest is all space that can be effectively used. Not only can a large number of people and goods be accommodated, but the safety can also be guaranteed, because the simpler the structure, the higher the reliability. Highly complex things are often prone to various failures .

soon.

The first batch of immigrants, such as Pei Xingzhou, were transferred to the "Homeland" one after another, and they all had larger rooms and rest beds.

The transport spaceship made several consecutive trips, allowing the number of passengers to enter the 'Homeland' to exceed 10,000.

With the help of the corner-type star ring reflector, light energy was drawn from the main energy road, and a beam of energy-supply light beam with a power of 5 million KW precisely hit the metal hood on the head of the 'Homeland'.

Then the ion engine was fully activated, emitting azure blue light.

A total of about 50,000 tons of thrust is generated.

It is enough to propel the "Homeland" towards Mars at an acceleration of about 0.05G, and it can also allow the passengers inside the "Homeland" to obtain the experience of microgravity, reducing a lot of inconvenience.

Etc., etc.

Finally, through the porthole of the spacecraft, I saw the dazzling main energy road set up by Xingyuan Group, like a highway, basically parallel to the track of Homeland.

And there will be an L-shaped star ring reflector, which will slide on the edge of the main energy road, and will be accompanied by energy supply all the time.

This scene made Pei Xingzhou feel very at ease, and secretly said:

"Infinite energy, infinite possibilities, as long as this giant ring of light exists, human beings will have the confidence to take root and live on Mars for 100,000 or millions of years, and then solve the problem of underpopulation. It will be more prosperous and lively, and it may not be possible to tell the winner, maybe it will enter the "Double Star Era" similar to the "Twin Cities Era", the concept of Martians will gradually appear, and countless Martian elites will emerge, which is very worth looking forward to when you think about it."
