Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 43 Hibernation in progress

Yue Yuan only put forward the general direction of the plan based on Xu Zhenyi's ideas at the time. He did not participate in the formulation of the actual detailed plan. After the plan was completed, he looked at it in detail, but calculations such as whether the energy consumed by certain factors were taken into account The process is not reflected in the plan.

Now Yue Yuan is afraid that the scientific team has not considered taking this period of time into account.

There is no need for Gan De to explain further. Yue Yuan, who is very scientifically literate, can think of many key points here.

For example, if you want to hide behind Callisto to avoid the material ejection from the explosion of the Centauri triple star system, you must ensure that the spacecraft is always on the side of Callisto.

Although Yue Yuan could not calculate the specific scientific parameters, he understood that achieving this goal was not simple.

Since the orbital motion must be around Callisto, if you want to hide behind Callisto and avoid that round of impact, you must have a high enough orbit.This orbital radius must be calculated accurately to ensure that the spacecraft runs exactly behind Callisto during the time when the strongest impact passes.

If this time is really not enough, then enough fuel will be needed to propel the spacecraft to temporarily change its orbit and keep it behind Callisto.

"Don't worry, Chief, we have the observatory's observation data and have taken it into consideration," the person in charge of the plan replied: "In the plan, the time period from the completion of the spacecraft construction to the arrival of the impact is calculated based on the energy consumption during hibernation. .As for the unspecified sailing time, it is because..."

"Okay, good job, I know what you mean." Yue Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then pressed his hands, indicating that he understood clearly and did not need to say any more.

The departure time will of course depend on the time after the collective hibernation wakes up, and depends on the time of the relocation work.As for the relocation, of course it is all human beings moving to the spaceship.

Yes, after the spacecraft is built, you can't go up directly. Instead, you need to hibernate on Callisto for more than [-] years, waiting for the impact of the material ejection from the Centaur Triad star system to pass before moving it to the spacecraft.

It stands to reason that humans should hibernate first and wait for the impact of the material ejection to pass before building a spacecraft. However, human beings' technological level has given them the confidence to reverse the order.

Four point three light-years is far enough, and the matter ejected here has become very thin. With the current material technology of mankind, as long as Callisto blocks it slightly, the spacecraft will be worry-free.

Regarding this, we have to thank Xu Zhenyi’s team for their contributions to materials science since the disaster occurred.Due to environmental factors and survival needs, humans have made breakthrough progress in the design of anti-gamma ray materials and anti-shock wave structures.

It can be regarded as a rare technology that advances by leaps and bounds among many regressive technologies.

"If there are no problems, please vote on the plan." Seeing that the meeting time was almost up, Yue Yuan directly announced the final process.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the vote.

There were [-] participants at the meeting, [-] voted in favor, and two abstained from voting, so it was passed unanimously.

In fact, if it is a general plan decision, there is no need for an enlarged meeting to vote. However, this kind of plan has a great stake, and at the same time, in order to fill in the gaps, a meeting is held to vote.

After the plan is approved, the next step is the work of the Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Education.

The publicity department will publicize the necessity and importance of the plan among all mankind. At the same time, the Ministry of Education will begin to carry out supporting skills training related to the plan.

Of course, active cooperation from other departments is also indispensable.

Humanity will complete all preparations for the hibernation plan in the next six months, including who needs to hibernate, how many years of hibernation, how many times they wake up, identification of equipment maintenance personnel during the period, safety protection, new government operation methods, etc.Under the leadership of the new government, the entire human society is brought under coordination.

Time came half a year later.

At this time, all preparations have been made inside the Callisto base.Except for supporting factories related to spacecraft construction, basically all have entered a state of semi-dormant or complete hibernation. Brand-new hibernation cabins are neatly placed in hibernation rooms. People are also waiting for the hibernation countdown to return to zero. .

"Professor, I have thought about whether the main argument and several sub-arguments of this paper can be designed like this. In addition..., and... If you think the suggestion is feasible, maybe it can be published before hibernation."

"I said Wenwen, the hibernation room you queued for will start to enter in more than three hours. Others have started to pass by. You still have time to think about this. I think you should get ready quickly and wait until you wake up for the paper. It’s never too late.”

"I'm all ready, and the hibernation cabin is in the right place. It doesn't matter if I go earlier or later. If I wait until after hibernation, it will be 30 years later."

"30 years? I remember the short-term hibernation you were assigned to. Why did it change to 30 years?"

"It's 30 years. The short-term hibernation is Xiaoyu. You remembered it wrong, Professor."

"Really? I can't remember it as I'm getting older. In that case, just post it."

Ma Dongzhen walked outside the base. On the way, he heard many conversations before hibernation. Some hugged each other goodbye, some taught diligently, and some lamented the time. But this was the first time he heard that he cared about the publication of papers before hibernating. arrive.

However, he did not stop. He just sighed in his heart that the new government does not support idle people, and then continued towards the airtight cabin leading outside the base.

Unlike others, Ma Dongzhen is not going to hibernate, he is going to space.

After several years of hard work, Ma Dongzhen successfully transformed from an ordinary worker into a remote machinery driver affiliated with the Engineering Department.

In the new human family, being a remote mechanical driver is actually a good job, but Ma Dongzhen is not satisfied. Especially after the "White Paper on Application Standards of Life-Related Technologies" came out, he had new goals.

If there were no accidents, it would be difficult for an ordinary remote mechanical operator like him to have a chance, because the usage standards say that priority is basically given to scientists or those who promote the advancement of human technology.

But this spaceship construction character gave him this opportunity. As long as he accumulates enough contributions in the construction of this spaceship, he can get a quota for future use.

Once you get this quota, it is equivalent to a long-term life guarantee. Even if you don't live until the moment when the technology matures, you will be frozen when you are old.

This temptation was too great, and Ma Dongzhen could not refuse, so he voluntarily signed up to participate in the construction of the spacecraft, the kind that did not hibernate.

There are many people like him, who are basically tempted by the "White Paper on Application Standards for Life-Related Technologies", so the competition is still fierce.

So much so that the new government had to use functional assessment to get rid of redundant people, which made the rotation rehearsal in "Hibernation Plan" useless.
