The End of Technology

The exploration-class aerostat is the latest generation product of the base. It is the mainstream aerospace ship model to be carried by large-scale scientific research ships in the future. The most equipped thing on the ship is the multi-functional planet exploration machine type robot.

The model robot mentioned here is not an Autobot...it is actually a scientific research vehicle. Although it is said to be a car, it actually uses anti-gravity technology. When it is running, it mainly passes by one or two meters above the surface of the planet. The car is equipped with a robotic arm, which can automatically take samples without getting out of the car, and can even perform foundation excavation work.

The interior of the carriage is a laboratory, equipped with scientific research equipment including a multifunctional laser analyzer and a sampler that can adapt to extremely harsh environments. Internal supplies and life support equipment can also support the survival of two people for a month.

It can be seen from this point that the various types of aerostats developed by the base at this stage are actually for research services. However, in this era when other places have not yet clearly studied how to prepare anti-gravity materials, the specific functions of aerostats can actually be diversified. This is probably where the base’s confidence lies.

…

Linxiang command tower.

"Captain Zhai, received a distress signal 2798 kilometers below the left, using the Alexander identification code."

"All crew members will be in place immediately, and the level 3 search and rescue procedure will be launched in two minutes." Zhai Qiuxian quickly sat down in her seat, and then skillfully pressed the next button, and then the holographic display closest to the human perspective was activated. Safety guards also strapped her to the seat.

After the search and rescue procedure is started, the aerial vehicle will undergo a rapid acceleration and deceleration process. The spacecraft accelerates and decelerates very violently. According to safety operating standards, the aerospace craft must tie itself to a chair before starting the search and rescue procedure. Long-term multi-task simulation training has allowed Zhai Qiuxian to firmly memorize a series of rules on the ship.

Ten years have changed the lives of many people.

For example, the former ace female bodyguard grew into a floating captain who was so sassy that she had no friends. This is not just the relationship with Ning Zi.

For the developing space navigation industry, whether it is the base or higher-level management departments, when training captains, they prefer people with military experience, because these people are naturally more sensitive to orders. Be more obedient to commands.

As far as the current resources of the earth are concerned, aerospace ships are still very valuable. And space is not like the earth. Once a disaster does occur, it can easily be devastating.

This time it is near the moon, which is still within the control of the earth. If we go to places that are too far away from the earth, such as near Mars, Saturn, and Pluto, if there is an accident due to human disobedience, the losses will be unbearable.

The more important reason is that the combination of biochips and nanorobots in the past decade has proven that it can not only improve the human body's immunity, but also significantly increase human life span.

The substantial extension of human life expectancy is an extremely serious topic. It is a great challenge to society and humans themselves, and involves all aspects of human society, such as the direction of resource investment, consumption concepts, urban construction, parenting concepts, and even Family ethics...etc.

Most of the impact on China is positive, especially in this space age where China has unprecedented access to resources. The same is true for individuals. The increase in life length gives individual humans more opportunities for trial and error. The extension of retirement time not only means the extension of study time, but also allows the cost of study to be diluted.

Just like Zhai Qiuxian.

If the lifespan of human beings in the past was based on, there is a high probability that women over 30 years old would not be selected to receive training as captains. After three years of study and two years of training in the simulation warehouse, five years have passed. Coupled with the test period during which he could only do simple navigation near the earth after officially boarding the ship, he was already thirty-seven or eight years old.

Long-term space voyages also place extremely high demands on physical condition. According to the physique of most people, the physical examination may not be up to standard when they are fifty years old at most.

This also means that after investing huge training costs, the actual time to work on the ship is only about ten years, which is obviously not worthwhile.

But the current situation is obviously different. Basically, after using biochips and nanorobots, they can work on the ship until they are at least a hundred years old. The extra fifty years can make the huge cost of learning and training negligible. And after he turns 100, he can at least return to the base and serve as a spacecraft instructor for ten years.

It can be seen that any progress in the human science and technology tree will have a profound impact on the entire human society. A series of chain reactions will continue to occur, making people feel that they cannot keep up with the times if they are not paying attention.

…

Thirty seconds later, Linxiang began to slow down. The method of deceleration is not simply through chemical energy, but by releasing a large free anti-gravity plate outside the spacecraft, using the gravitational pull on the lunar system to slow down. Ten seconds later, the Linxiang began to slowly approach the escape cabin, which was already visible to the naked eye, until it finally ran synchronously above the top of the escape cabin at a speed and direction synchronized with the escape cabin.

At this time, if there is a third-party perspective that can bring the moon into the picture, the scene seen will probably be the Linxiang's huge hull and the mini black dot below slowly moving toward the lower right direction of the moon simultaneously.

At this time, Zhai Qiuxian in the command tower had also stood up from the command chair and began to issue orders in an orderly manner: "Release the cellular detector and start holographic scanning."

As the order was given, the belly of the Linxiang was opened, and six honeycomb-like detectors were quietly released and began to scan around the escape cabin. Soon, the holographic image of the escape cabin began to appear bit by bit in front of Zhai Qiuxian.

This is different from the hologram used for communication.

During communication, holographic images do not require much scanning technology, and the parts without images can be supplemented by algorithms. But all the details during the rescue process were completely restored. Within a few minutes, the entire escape cabin appeared in front of Zhai Qiuxian.

At the same time, the basic information obtained after scanning the escape cabin also began to be automatically broadcast through the intelligent brain system: "The protective layer is not damaged, and there are no traces of collision and deformation. The external display device is operating normally, the life support device is normal, and the system shows that the protection cabin is in dormant protection There are two people, and four other protective cabins are vacant. The survivors’ vital signs are stable and they are in a protective state. The docking device of the escape cabin is normal and the system can be accessed."

Zhai Qiuxian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Finally found.

According to the intelligence given by Zhi Nao before, the escape cabin where Chen Xi was in happened to be for two people, and all the escape cabins happened to only be able to accommodate two people, and there were only two of them. The other one has been found and rescued by a friendly ship. Therefore, there is a high probability that Chen Xi and Dupont are in this escape capsule.

However, Zhai Qiuxian's expression did not change at this time, and she was still giving orders seriously.

"Enter the Alexander search and rescue code, enter the escape cabin system below, and activate the docking device."

The search and rescue code is a 128-bit string that is automatically generated and encrypted when the spacecraft is in danger and sent in the form of broadcast. The own spacecraft that receives the search and rescue code can quickly decode it. Each aerospace vessel has a special decoding method, and these decoded data are stored in all aerospace vessels.

For search and rescue vessels, they only need to enter the search and rescue code to fully control all systems of the escape cabin below except life support.

As the escape cabin docking device was activated, three handle-like interfaces popped up in the middle of the smooth cabin.

At the same time, the Linxiang's belly launch port opened again, and the three robotic arms slowly stretched out. It can be seen that these robotic arms have more than ten joints. First, they opened layer by layer, and then reached one-tenth of the escape cabin below. It began to close gradually until the hand of the robotic arm touched the pop-up handle of the escape capsule. Under the observation of six honeycomb monitors accompanying the flight, the bottom manipulator stretched out and then latched onto the pop-up handle.

When the three positions are fixed, the sensing device also provides instant feedback to the command tower.

"The docking has been completed, the degree of completion is 100%, and the recovery process is ready."

"Start recycling process."

Following the command, the robotic arm began to slowly retract the escape capsule with it. The speed was not fast, but it was stable and maintained at a constant speed. It began to shrink until the robotic arm retracted the entire escape capsule into the hull. Six cellular detectors were flying with it. Before the belly cabin was closed, it flew back to the hull in an orderly manner.

The recycling process is completed.

The entire recovery process lasted about ten minutes, of course, this was assuming there was no damage to the outside of the escape capsule and everything went smoothly. The recovered escape capsule entered the Linxiang's cabin and was stuck into a track.

The robotic arm recovers layer by layer, and then the short, medium and long wave UVB irradiation devices are started to disinfect the surface of the escape cabin. All escape cabins have a thin film on the inner layer, which can prevent the projection of ultraviolet rays of different wavelengths, ensuring that while killing possible space active substances on the periphery of the escape cabin, it will not cause harm to the human body inside.

After this step, the sprinkler device starts.

The gas mixed with liquid particles began to spray the entire escape cabin meticulously. After three minutes, the spraying is completed. An electronic door on the left side of the belly cabin automatically opened, and the escape cabin moved along a predetermined track to the middle cabin.

After the secondary spraying in the middle cabin, another section of the electronic door automatically opened. At this time, Zhai Qiuxian and the crew were already standing here, ready for rescue. Obviously, this section of the cabin is already covered by the gravity system and the life support system, because all the crew members did not wear special protective clothing.

Zhai Qiuxian had an indifferent temperament, so she went straight up the steps without much communication. After confirming her identity through the camera, the escape cabin opened. The two people in the small cabin were clearly visible.

Zhai Qiuxian glanced at it, and then fixed her eyes on Chen Xi, who was still unconscious. At this moment, she could hear a sigh of relief coming from behind her.

It does feel relieved that the important person has finally been found.

"Send Chen Xi to the recovery cabin, activate the dynamic life monitoring system, pay close attention to the life status, and slowly stimulate recovery."

After Zhai Qiuxian gave the order, she planned to turn around and return to the command tower. The mission is completed and the Linxiang can return. She had to ask for return instructions.

The crew member behind him subconsciously asked: "Well, where is Mr. Dupont Le?"

"Just find a room and wait for him to wake up naturally. You may also be able to become captains in the future. When the ship is sailing in space, especially when it is on a long voyage, all the resources in the life monitoring system are extremely valuable. They will not be used until they are urgently needed. , don’t send all the messy things inside. It’s a waste of resources. When something unexpected happens to your comrades, the attrition caused by the early waste of resources is absolutely unacceptable.”

Zhai Qiuxian began to train the crew around her without hesitation.

This is very necessary.

In the era of space exploration, captains who could stand alone were always a scarce resource.

When there are more floating ships in the future, her crew members may indeed be future captains. This kind of reminder is indeed necessary.

But as soon as Zhai Qiuxian finished speaking, the system brain started broadcasting.

"Linxiang's NC062357 return request has been rejected. Please Linxiang implement DC03626's return plan. The route has been planned and will bypass the Nuwa and return to the Earth Base in Area 01."

"This rescue incident has been included in the A-level secret short-term protection sequence. The captain is requested to implement the A-level short-term confidentiality procedures. Linxiang's active external communication system has been shut down, and the passive communication system will be automatically received by the Star Territory, and the Linxiang's radio system has entered A state of silence.”

Zhai Qiuxian stopped subconsciously, glanced at the stunned expressions on the faces of the crew members around her, then curled her lips and said, "I heard you all, remember to read the Class A Secret Protection Manual when the return journey enters a stable speed, so as not to return. When the base went to report to the security officer, I didn’t know everything about it, and I had to learn it all over again. Okay, make a return plan and prepare to return to Earth."

Very annoying.

In fact, Zhai Qiuxian hopes to return to the Nuwa.

After finally being released from the base, she actually wanted to fly in space for a while longer. It would be best to go to the Saturn system with the Nuwa to complete the detection mission. As a future astronaut, who is willing to train at the base every day?

Who would have thought that after finally completing the mission, I had not received the commendation order, but received the confidentiality order first...

If she had known that Zhai Qiuxian would definitely choose to share the signal with the surrounding spacecraft, and then go back to the Nuwa for repairs on the grounds of a power problem, she would most likely not have been able to make the trip to the Saturn system this time.

As for what this secret order means, Zhai Qiuxian does not intend to explore it. In her opinion, brainstorming is something that only scientists like Ning Zi need to do. She just had to follow orders.

unlucky!

…

Inside the floating building of China’s large-scale space exploration research base.

Zhuo Mingqian, who had not slept all night, finally received the news he wanted to see most at this time, and the little worry that had been hanging in his throat for a long time finally let go.

Ning Zi finally completed part of her request, and all that was left was to give her explanation.

You can ask for explanations slowly, but you must first ensure people's safety. Now that the person has been rescued and everything is fine, the debt can be settled slowly.

very nice!
