Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia, together with the first batch of resident scientific research workers, started the journey from the earth to the No. 0 space station. After 12 hours of continuous ascent, the elevator finally reached the geosynchronous orbit.

Luo Jia looked up and found that the No. 0 space station had been fully presented in front of his eyes. It was so majestic and shocking. The cylindrical central axis connected the front and rear parking areas. The huge circular structure was like a silver-white super Ferris wheel, slowly rotating non-stop.

The Ferris wheel structure has three floors, which are the living area, the scientific research area, and the logistics support area. In the future, as the number of people stationed in the space station increases, the No. 0 space station will continue to expand, and the large space dock will also be put into operation in the near future. , Assemble the starship modules shipped from the base in Inner Mongolia.

In short, it is the most incredible miracle in the history of human beings. No words can describe the beauty of space station zero. From then on, human beings will build a real home in space, and through the powerful transportation capacity of the space elevator, the earth and the universe will be closer. link together.

"Please note that Elevator No. 1 is about to connect to Space Station No. 0. Air pressure changes and mechanical collisions will inevitably occur during the connection process. All passengers are requested to return to their respective positions and fasten their seat belts..." the synthetic female voice broadcast again.

Luo Jia had no choice but to apologize to the audience, ended the live video broadcast, returned to his position, straightened the seat, fastened the seat belt, and the staff of the elevator operation department checked one by one. But it can't be compared with the plane.

The elevator followed the graphene cableway and quickly entered the No. 0 space station, as if driving into a cave. First, the mechanical device was docked and fixed, and then the safety gate and the airtight door were closed one after another. The space station released air to the docking cabin to adjust the air pressure until it reached the earth The atmosphere is similar.

Ka~

Under the guidance of the staff, Luo Jia unfastened his seat belt, and then his body floated up, feeling very strange.

This is the weightlessness experience deliberately arranged for this trip. Although there is no gravity generated by the rotation in the central axis area of ​​the zero space station, there is also an electromagnetic analog gravity device.

Soon after, the weightlessness experience ended and the electromagnetic gravity device was turned on. Luo Jia felt that the weightlessness gradually disappeared, and his whole body fell to the ground. Because of the magnetic device in the space boots, his feet landed first.

Now that you are in space, it would be boring if you don’t experience the feeling of weightlessness. This time it’s just a taste. If you want to try it in the future, you can find a room in the central axis area, turn off the magnetic gravity simulator, and you can enter Weightlessness.

Kacha~

When the airtight door was opened, Luo Jia saw that the robot engineering team was lined up like a group of soldiers waiting for inspection, and the electronic eyes were staring at the group of humans curiously.

"Everyone has worked hard,

The No. 0 space station and the No. 1 space elevator have been successfully completed, and you are the number one contributor! " Luo Jia said with a smile.

He praised the robot as kindly as he treated his friends, and then let them disband and return to their respective jobs without paying too much attention to their own arrival. In Luo Jia's mind, robots are not slaves, but partners, and they will join hands with humans in the future , to the sea of ​​stars.

Under the leadership of Luo Jia, Star Technology and even the world's concept of robots are gradually changing. At this moment, people don't know that in the long years to come, this kind of peaceful coexistence with robots and the establishment of this Interracial friendship will play an unimaginably important role in the entry of human beings on earth into the crisis-ridden cosmic society. It is no exaggeration to say that it was Luo Jia's decision that saved everyone.

The live broadcast channel is still going on. After Luo Jia and others came to the zero space station, they added a sense of immersion to the live broadcast. Watching the big boys excitedly drinking Coke, jumping into the swimming pool to play, or riding bicycles in the gym , while facing the blue and beautiful earth, as if you were there.

"I'll go, this is too handsome! You can still swim in Space Station Zero!"

"My God, when they are exercising, they actually face the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the slowly rotating earth, distant Jupiter and Mars, and bright stars!"

"Hmph! I'm not happy. Compared with the zero space station, our invincible sea view room is not fragrant at all."

"Your home faces the sea, and Space Station Zero faces the sea of ​​stars, so there's nothing better than that."

"I don't know if Space Station Zero is open for viewing? If I can stay at Station Zero for one night in my life, it's worth dying for!"

"It should be possible. Luo Jia said that he wants to develop space tourism, but according to his habit of turning his elbows inward, I'm afraid you have to get Chinese nationality first..."

"God, I'm so envious! I really want to be a Chinese citizen!"

The bullet screen is refreshed crazily, as if all human beings around the world turned into lemon essence in an instant, not to mention the sourness. The people who eat melons in the West seem to have witnessed a historical reincarnation. Watching, nothing can be done.

Today, Huaxia has returned to the stage of history and has become one of the biggest players on the stage. At the same time, the protagonists of the past are gradually becoming spectators. This huge contrast between before and after is the most unacceptable in the West yes.

"What you are seeing now is the design of the fourth ring of No. 0 space station." Luo Jia faced the camera, pointing to the blueprint hanging in the conference room and said: "The fourth ring will be completed after the Spring Festival, and by then we will We welcome the first batch of tourists to the space station, outstanding student representatives from Star University, meritorious employees in the company, elites from all walks of life, etc.”

"They will have the opportunity to spend an unforgettable three days and three nights in the zero space station. Due to space constraints, there are not many opportunities to travel in space. However, with the continuous expansion of the space station and the opening of the moon base and the Mars base, One day, we will enter a real space society, and everyone can start space travel as easily and conveniently as returning home."

Luo Jia, in the way he is good at, has drawn a big picture for all audiences. Facing such a wonderful and beautiful future, people don't know how to describe it except for its true fragrance.

"Long live! Long live Star Technology!"

"The era of the big universe has finally arrived!"

"We will definitely conquer Mars, the solar system, and the galaxy!"

"Little broken ball, go and go!"

The barrage is refreshed crazily, full of optimism and arrogance. It seems that because of the encouragement of Xingchen Technology, everyone now thinks that the road to the stars and the ocean is not difficult...

...

In an unknown place far away in the dark interstellar space, a small, ancient, and dilapidated aircraft is heading towards the center of the Milky Way at a speed of seventeen kilometers per second.

Loneliness is its destiny. Since Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977 in the Earth calendar, it has always existed alone, day after day, year after year.

Judging from today's perspective, Voyager 1's technical equipment is already very backward. For many years, it has relied on a high-gain antenna with a diameter of 3.7 meters to barely maintain contact with the earth.

The strength of radio signals will continue to attenuate as the transmission distance increases. In order to receive tiny signals, NASA built the Deep Space Network, or DSN for short.

The DSN consists of three deep space communication facilities distributed at 120 degrees, located in California in North America, Madrid in Spain, and Canberra in Australia, so as to achieve signal transmission with Voyager 1 and is not affected by the rotation of the earth.

The communication frequency of Voyager 1 is as high as 8GHz. In this frequency band, there is almost no interference and the signal-to-noise ratio is very high.

Voyager 1 is equipped with a high-precision gyroscope to ensure that it can always point the antenna in the direction of the earth even in deep space.

All in all, scientists have tried their best to maintain the weak connection between the earth and Voyager 1, and Voyager 1 is the greatest explorer in human history. There has never been any probe that can travel as far as it goes.

Although Voyager 1 is definitely qualified to remain in history, voices against it are still emerging. The biggest fear people have about Voyager 1 comes from the golden record.

The naive scientists of NASA were very eager to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations, so they placed a golden record in the cabin of Voyager 1. On the record, there are not only detailed positioning marks of the earth, but also a lot of information about human beings. history and information.

I believe that everyone who has seen Liu Cixin's three-body problem will be very impressed by the law of the dark forest, especially the Chinese people, because as the oldest civilization on earth, we are more powerful than anyone, any country, or any group organization. I understand more clearly that it is not easy for a civilization to continue, and it is really difficult to live!

All the civilizations that used to be side by side with China, one counted as one, all perished, because in this world, the continuation of civilization has never been the norm, the destruction of civilization is!

Liu Cixin said that the universe is like a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun, sneaking in the forest like a ghost, gently pushing aside the branches blocking the way, trying not to let the footsteps make a sound, even breathing must Be careful.

He must be very careful, because there are hunters like him everywhere in the forest, if he finds other life, there is only one thing he can do, shoot and destroy it.

In this forest, other people are hell and an eternal threat. Any life that exposes its own existence will be wiped out soon.

In the eighth year since Star Technology was founded, on January 1st, the No. 0 space station and No. 1 space elevator were officially put into operation. For a while, firecrackers blared and gongs and drums blared. Even the master of the entire galaxy.

Everyone was so happy that no one noticed that another "little thing" happened on this day. The farthest probe ever traveled by mankind, Voyager 1, has lost contact with the earth, more than seventy two hours.
