Homo sapiens.

Chapter 635
The Qinglong-class space battleship flying to Mars reached a speed of 20 kilometers per second after 200 hours of continuous acceleration.

At this time, it is 1.6 million kilometers away from Mars.

At a speed of 200 kilometers per second, it only takes 222 hours to travel to Mars.

Of course, considering the deceleration and acceleration time, it is estimated that it will take 237 hours to reach Mars.

In less than 10 days, you can fly from Earth to Mars, which is already very fast.

Captain Yin Siyong and several pilots are staring at the star area monitoring system in the cockpit.

The speed of the battleship is extremely fast, but the risks involved also increase.

At the speed of the Qinglong class at this time, once it hits an asteroid, the consequences will be shipwreck and death. Although Yin Siyong and others are serving with synchronous robots, the cost of a Qinglong class is quite a lot.

Therefore, they must keep an eye on the monitoring data of the star area, and all asteroids with a diameter of more than 1 centimeter must be monitored.

"Report, an asteroid with a diameter of 14783 meters was detected 3.4 kilometers ahead."

"Report……"

Yin Siyong looked at the densely packed asteroids on the star map of the monitoring holographic projection, with a very cautious face.

Although there are very few large asteroids, there are not a few asteroids with a few centimeters to a few meters between the orbits of the Earth and Mars.

And these asteroids are a deadly threat to high-speed spacecraft.

Sailing too fast is also an annoyance.

First officer Michelle thought for a while, then turned his head and suggested: "Captain, if a new power system is equipped on a large scale in the future, the speed of the spacecraft will be very fast, and the asteroids on the route must be cleaned up."

"Well, I will propose to the headquarters." Of course Yin Siyong knew that the asteroid on the route was a problem that must be taken seriously.

Not paying attention now, the company will have more and more spacecraft in the future, which is a huge hidden danger.

During the flight, the warship constantly adjusted its flight direction.

Fortunately, the battleship has already entered the state of inertial flight at this time, and does not need additional power to continue to accelerate, but the auxiliary thrusters that change the direction of navigation, and the internal power system of the battleship do not use nuclear fusion to generate electricity, but nuclear fission reactors.

The reason why nuclear fission reactors are used is to use good steel on the cutting edge for cost-effectiveness.

The nuclear fusion power system is mainly used in the power supply of the main propeller and weaponry, while the electric energy of the nuclear fission reactor is used in the auxiliary propulsion and internal power consumption.

As such.

For this voyage, the nuclear fusion power system will start after 20 hours of acceleration and 20 hours of deceleration.

It was only powered on for 40 hours before and after, and only two of the Levi's rings were activated, which greatly improved the service time of the lithium carbon nanolayer of the nuclear fusion power system.

In this way, the nuclear fusion power system of this Qinglong class can fly back and forth from the earth to Mars 150 to 180 times before the lithium carbon nanolayer of the nuclear fusion power system needs to be replaced.

210 hours later.

At this point the battleship was very close to Mars.

Yin Siyong immediately ordered: "Start slowing down!"

Next to the main propeller at the back of the battleship, there are six secondary propellers. The nozzles of these secondary propellers are all slanted forward and outward, just in the opposite direction from the main propeller.

The function of these six secondary propellers is exactly to decelerate.

As the two Levi's rings of the fusion power system are activated again, the six secondary thrusters begin to spew dense, high-speed plasma.

The speed of the battleship decreased accordingly.

It is estimated that after 20 hours, the speed of the warship will drop to about 6 kilometers per second. At that time, the warship will just be captured by the gravity of Mars and become a "satellite" of Mars.

And the rotation orbit of Mars.

Phobos and Deimos have completely turned into the shape of Homo sapiens, and the surface of the stars is densely covered with various artificial facilities.

Among them, Phobos is the location of the first Mars shipyard, and it is also the spaceport where the Qinglong-class warship plans to berth.

20 hours later.

This Qinglong-class space battleship slowly docked not far from Phobos, and the distance between the two sides was less than 150 kilometers.

About half an hour later, a maintenance spacecraft came to the side of the Qinglong class.

A large number of maintenance personnel boarded the Qinglong class and began to conduct a comprehensive overhaul of the battleship, especially the nuclear fusion power system that was boarded for the first time, which was the focus of the overhaul.

In addition, the maintenance of the spacecraft also brings a large amount of water resources. These water resources are the nuclear fuel of the nuclear fusion power system. Water is ionized, of which hydrogen is used as the fuel for nuclear fusion, and oxygen is used as the working fluid of the plasma propulsion.

Water is the best fuel for spacecraft to sail in the inner solar system. After all, pure hydrogen is very troublesome to store. Water can kill two birds with one stone. Hydrogen is used as nuclear fuel, and oxygen is used as the working fluid of plasma propulsion, and the storage of water is very simple.

Yin Siyong and others saw that the overhaul still needed about 50 hours, so they took off the synchronization robot of the battleship, and then temporarily launched the synchronization robot of Zhurong City on Mars, and came here for a tour.

Mars Zhurong City.

Not on Mars, but in a synchronous orbit of Mars.

This is a huge spiral-armed space city with a length of 15 kilometers. In order to build this space city, Homo sapiens hollowed out more than a dozen iron-nickel asteroids in the asteroid belt.

The end of the huge spiral arm is the standard gravity living area.

Eight spiral arms are connected in ring-shaped cabins one by one.

Yin Siyong came to the standard gravity zone through the synchronous robot, where the pseudo-gravity is similar to the gravity of the earth.

The ring chamber is also very huge, with a diameter of 300 meters.

There are 2793 new humans living here.

Standing on the ground of the ring-shaped cabin, it seems to be on the surface of the earth. There are special villas on the ground, and there are a lot of flowers and trees.

Yin Siyong even saw some dragonflies and bees.

"It seems that this quasi-gravity can already replace the earth's gravity."

"Probably not yet!" First officer Michelle squatted next to a field of tulips, and he could smell the strong fragrance of tulips.

That's right, the new generation of synchronous robots can smell and give the same taste back to the body.

Yin Siyong shook his head: "Actually, there is a way for Mars to become Earth."

"Could you mean the additive plan? This project is too risky, and the headquarters probably won't agree." Michelle stood up with a look of surprise.

The so-called additive plan is one of Homo sapiens' backup plans for transforming Mars.

Its core principle is to fill Mars with these minerals by transporting asteroids in the asteroid belt and excavating some of Jupiter’s satellite minerals.

As long as Mars has the same mass as Earth, then Mars has the same gravity as Earth.

This solution can solve the gravity problem of Mars once and for all, but the risk of doing so is very high, and the plan is currently shelved.
