Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 47 Simulating Gravity
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, all personnel have boarded the ship, all people have been arranged to their places, and all materials and energy have been arranged!"

"Reporting to the chief, the nuclear reactor has been started up, the main power system test has been completed, and the fault point 2 caused the resistance coupling change due to the temperature difference, all have been eliminated, and the operation is normal again."

"Reporting to the Chief, the fueling of the No. 100 main thruster is 100% complete, the fueling of the No. 97 main thruster is [-]% complete, and the fueling of the No. [-] main thruster is [-]% completed."

"Reporting to the Chief, the thruster joint control system has completed the linkage test. The signal transmission is normal, the remote sensing control is normal, and the three-machine linkage simulation is normal and can be started at any time."

"Report to the Chief, the No. [-] rotary axis is powered on, the No. [-] rotary axis is powered on, the No. [-] rotary axis is powered on, and the No. [-] rotary axis is powered on. The digital signals of each console are normal, the ten-axis linkage simulation is normal, and the split-axis single-action simulation is normal."

In the Hope spacecraft control center, one after another test information reports came one after another from the mouths of the staff.

The control center of the Hope is also the main control room and the driver's cab. It is located on the fifth turntable of the spacecraft. It is made into a large cabin with a clear space of about 30*12*6 meters in length, width and height.

Although the cab is also inside the big disk, the ground is very flat. In fact, not only the floor of the control room is flat, but the floors of all living cabins and other types of cabins are also flat. This is because humans are used to walking on flat ground. design.

Yue Yuanxian sat on the big chair in the command center, which was also the captain's seat of the Hope.Three steps down in front of the seat and further forward there is a large terminal screen. On both sides of the large screen are two rows of various types of control terminals.

Now, each staff member is sitting in front of the sub-control terminal, either facing the small screen in front of them, or pressing and fiddling with their hands on the console, and then reporting the feedback information they have received.

It takes more than one person to control such a large ship.

Just like now, this cab or control center is full of crew members with various functions.

There are helmsmen, co-helmsmen, navigators, communications officers, safety officers, etc., as well as captains, first mates, second mates, scientific officers and various civilian personnel. Of course, the chief engineer and security team members are also indispensable.

Since the Hope does not have a weapons system, the position of fire controller does not currently exist.

"Okay, put on the Hope's ship-wide broadcast." Yue Yuan stood up from the captain's seat and hooked his feet on the stabilizer to prevent himself from floating up.

"The broadcast has been connected." The correspondent quickly operated on the console and responded.

Yue Yuan looked at the large screen that had been switched to a collection of images from various workplaces on the spacecraft, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the command center of the Hope, and I am Yue Yuan.

Everyone on the ship hopes that the Hope will officially enter operation in 10 minutes. Everyone on the ship will pay attention. The Hope will officially enter operation in 10 minutes.

For those who are still floating in weightlessness, please return to the cabin ground immediately. Please immediately pack up all kinds of floating objects and secure your body to avoid unnecessary injuries. "

Although everyone has all the supplies and equipment they can get on the ship, because the spacecraft has not yet started to rotate, everything on the ship is still in a weightless state.

Many people are still floating in the cabins where they live. Although the average living cabin is only [-] meters high, you will be injured if you suddenly fall.

Logically speaking, 10 minutes is not enough, but since some preparations have been made before, people do not need to pack everything. 10 minutes is just enough.

During these 10 minutes, Yue Yuan did not wait there, but continued to speak on the full-frequency radio: "Compatriots, we came from prosperity, struggled in despair, and rebuilt our homes in the ruins. Hope. The "No. [-]" is the crystallization of our wisdom, a spacecraft built with the blood and sweat of scientists, engineers and millions of compatriots. Now, it will carry the hope of all of us and sail to the other side of life."

"I know some people are nostalgic for Callisto and this base we have worked so hard to build, but we all should understand that Callisto is only our temporary harbor, and the lack of energy does not allow us to stay here for a long time.
Now, we are about to bid farewell to Callisto and set foot on the sea of ​​stars.Even if the journey is far away in the vast starry sky, and there are endless dangers hidden on the other side of the sea of ​​stars, we will never look back."

After a pre-departure speech, the time quickly came to 10 minutes.Yue Yuan also stopped at the right time, as if he had picked the right time.After turning off the ship-wide broadcast, Yue Yuan sat back in his seat, then sat upright and announced: "Let's begin."

"understand!"

"The No. 0.45 rotary shaft has been officially closed and energized, the coil is working normally, and the magnetic field strength is stable. The No. [-] rotary shaft has begun to rotate. The preset angular speed in the first stage is [-]rmp."

"The No. 0.45 rotating shaft is officially closed and powered on and starts to rotate. The preset angular speed in the first stage is [-]rmp."

"The third axis starts to rotate. In the first stage, the angular speed is 0.45rmp. It runs normally and the simulated gravity effect reaches the expectation."

"The fifth axis starts to rotate, and the preset angular speed in the first stage is 0.45rmp"

"The tenth rotating axis starts running, the first stage preset angular speed is 0.45rmp"

"The rotating shaft collaborative linkage system is connected. The fine adjustment of the turntable speed begins."

"Coupling synchronization has been started, synchronization of the ten-axis rotation has been completed, and the simulated gravity of each monitoring point has reached the expected value."

As a report sounded in the control center, the Hope began to rotate slowly and quickly from the first turntable to the tenth turntable. After a while, the synchronous coordination system of the rotating shaft began to coordinate the ten turntables so that they would start from There is speed and slowness and it becomes a relatively static state.

At this moment, everyone on the Hope felt the presence of gravity, and the familiar feeling on Callisto returned.

0.45rmp means 0.45 revolutions per minute. Rotating at this speed, people on the spacecraft can probably feel that they are subject to the same gravity as on Callisto.

This is the first stage preset speed.

People need to adapt!

The science officers and engineers aboard the Hope took this into consideration.

That is, people have been living on Callisto for a very long time. If it were to be turned directly now and the simulated gravity of the spacecraft suddenly reached the level of the earth, it is estimated that everyone would immediately turn into soft bones.

So the best way is to first let Hope produce the gravity conditions on Callisto that people have lived in for many years.

After everyone gets used to it, the speed will be increased. The second stage will increase from 0.45rmp to 0.64rmp. By then, the simulated gravity acceleration generated by the Hope will be almost 2.48m/s.

Then after a period of time, after people's bodies have adapted to this change, the third stage of acceleration will be carried out: 0.91rmp. By then, the simulated gravity acceleration generated by the Hope will be approximately 5m/s.

It will slowly increase in this way, and by the fourth stage, it will reach 7.6m/s.

In the fifth stage, it will reach 9.8m/s.

Of course, because there is a height difference of about 60 meters in the cabin, there will be some fluctuations in the value between the lowest floor and the highest floor.
