Chapter 146: Catching Up (Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass!)


On the Hades spacecraft, Raymond Anthony sat in a room.

The structure, decoration, and furniture of this room were almost the same as his bedroom in Little Rock.

At first glance, it seemed as if he had returned to his home on Earth. .

But if you look carefully, you will find that everything in the house is fixed to the floor, and the large glass wall on the side is just a realistic virtual electronic wall, and the pastoral scenery above is completely simulated with high technology. came out.

It is a very long distance from the earth's low-Earth space orbit to Pluto, and it will take more than a year at the flight speed of Hades.

During this long year, Raymond Anthony specially traveled on Hades for I built such a cabin to relieve my homesickness.

"Sir, please be ready.

The spacecraft engine has started."

Captain Doolittle jumped out of the corner of the electronic wall.

Five minutes ago, he had started the controllable thermonuclear fusion engine according to Raymond Anthony's instructions.

The Hades spacecraft is about to leave low-Earth orbit and fly to Pluto as planned.

Raymond Anthony, who had fixed himself on the chair, nodded slightly and took the space shuttle to the Hades.

The effects of acceleration and gravity made his body a little tired, so after waiting on the Hades, Raymond Anthony took a day's rest.

After a while, after the ship's doctor checked that his physical condition was good, Raymond Anthony gave the starting order to Captain Doolittle.

"Thank you very much, Captain, I'm ready."

Raymond Anthony replied with a smile, and at the same time he looked towards the electronic wall, and at this time the pastoral scenery of the electronic wall had turned into a space scene, displayed in front of him What is visible is the bright starry sky, and the earth is clearly visible.

The same scene also appeared in front of Doolittle.

The area he was in was the control center of the Hades, which was similar to the cockpit of the space shuttle.

However, the much larger control center is ready to go.

Compared with the Russian Star Sky, the Hades has much more astronauts.

The entire spacecraft has a total of 18 astronauts, plus Raymond Anthony.

There are 19 people in total.

Although there are more people than the Starry Sky spacecraft, it is due to the fact that the Americans built a small ecological balance circle on the Hades and the large amount of materials it carries.

It can completely meet the living expenses of Hades personnel.

It is estimated that without replenishing resources, Hades' materials and ecological balance circle can be used by everyone for more than 5 years.

From this perspective, the time from the earth to Pluto, landing, stay and return is far away. enough.

"The engine energy preparation has reached 80 The assistant manipulated the equipment and reported to Doolittle.

"Check the entire ship again and verify the status of the backup engine."

Doolittle gave the order in an orderly manner.

"Everything works fine repeat everything works fine" The astronauts in the control center were doing their jobs, working nervously and excitedly.

The Hades spacecraft is mankind's first controllable thermonuclear fusion spacecraft.

Russia's Starry Sky was built later than the Hades spacecraft.

It uses a lot of the most advanced technology on earth.

It can be said that it represents the most cutting-edge technology of mankind.

This is the pride of the United States and the pride of all of them.

And now, a moment that creates human history is coming, and when they return, they will all become heroes of mankind.

"The engine energy has been prepared."

Assistant reports.

Doolittle nodded and said to Hull, who was ready beside him: "Timer is 90 seconds.

Get ready."

"Okay, 90 seconds to prepare."

Compared with the serious-looking Doolittle.

Hull still had that nonchalant attitude, but his hands were not idle.

As Doolittle gave the order, he quickly completed the final preparations before taking off.

"Captain, the Russians are on the move" "Enlarge image" As for the Russian Starry Sky, Hades has never ignored monitoring, just like Ivan has been closely watching every move of Hades.

Captain Doolittle of the Hades also kept a close eye on the Starship spacecraft.

The image in space was quickly partially enlarged, and the Starry Sky spacecraft appeared in the corner of the screen.

With just one glance, Doolittle knew that the Russians had also started their controllable thermonuclear fusion engine.

When he saw this, he The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"captain."

"Don't worry about the Russians.

Continue to monitor."

Doolittle replied calmly.

He knew what his men were worried about, but compared to the Russian Starry Sky, Doolittle had full confidence in the Hades.

The 90-second countdown time passed in an instant.

When the time reached zero, the entire Hades spacecraft shook slightly.

The tail of the spacecraft did not produce fireworks like rocket propulsion, but a group of condensed airflow appeared.

We know that space is basically a vacuum state, and the air flow similar to that of the Earth cannot be a real air flow.

This is indeed the case.

This is a kind of energy caused by the controllable thermonuclear fusion engine spraying energy into the surrounding vacuum space after it is started.

Special sight.

Hades began to slowly leave its orbit.

Its slowness was actually relative.

Its speed seemed not fast from space, and the relatively large hull was a bit clumsy.

However, regardless of the internal display of Hades, Judging from the monitoring data on the Russian Star Spacecraft, at this moment, his speed has reached the first cosmic speed in a very short time, which is close to 79 kilometers per second.

"The ecological balance circle is normal."

"Gravity is normal" "Occupants adapt normally" "The main engine of the spacecraft is normal" "Air circulation is normal" "The host system is normal."

As the acceleration of the Hades began, a series of feedback information from inside the spacecraft reached Captain Doolittle in time.

At this time, Doolittle issued the order to continue to accelerate and escape.

The huge Hades controllable thermonuclear fusion engine The energy output gradually increased, and after five minutes, the speed exceeded 109 kilometers per second, approaching the second cosmic speed.

According to the complete escape from the earth's gravity, which is the third cosmic speed, also known as the escape velocity, it is the minimum speed that can truly escape the earth's gravity and travel in space until it reaches this speed.

Of course, this speed is not eternal.

According to the spacecraft entering orbit The v3 value calculated when the speed is in the same direction as the earth's revolution speed; if the direction is inconsistent, the required speed must be greater than this speed.

In the past, it was difficult to achieve this speed, but with the continuous advancement of human technology, it is no longer a problem.

What’s more, judging from the current controllable thermonuclear fusion engine design capabilities of the Hades spacecraft, it is difficult to meet this speed.

Almost a breeze.

Hades continued to accelerate, reaching the third cosmic speed ten minutes later, and began to completely escape the gravity of the earth and fly into space.

At this time, the controllable thermonuclear fusion engine of the Starry Sky spacecraft, which was getting farther and farther away from Hades, had also begun to start.

The huge Starry Sky slowly adjusted its position in space, and then under Ivan's order He accelerated and headed towards the direction of chasing the Hades. s: I am going out today on Saturday, so the second update will be released in advance.
