"set sail!"

"Captain's Order! Set sail!"

"The communication system self-test has been completed, everything is normal!"

"The self-test of each radar system has been completed, everything is normal!"

"The self-test of the universe navigation system has been completed, everything is normal!"

"The self-test of each engine system has been completed, everything is normal!"

...

"The coordinate setting is completed, the navigation program is being generated, the navigation program is being generated, the corresponding engines No. 6, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Eleven are being prepared, and the engine system is being prepared!"

"Target Jupiter, ignite! Go!"

...

In the huge cosmic port, countless people witnessed the sudden burst of dazzling flames at the engine nozzle below Expedition One, and then roared away at a fixed angle, with such a fast speed that in a moment, this huge space ship carrying the earth civilization was left with only a small dot that faintly flashed in everyone's eyes!

Inside Expedition One, countless people also stayed in their homes, watching the screen getting farther and farther away from the earth until they could only see the stars shining, and the earth became a star in the background of the ship!

A new history has begun!

...

It is very troublesome to navigate between the universe, and it is essentially different from traveling on the earth.

When you get from one location to another on the earth, generally speaking, the relative position and distance between two locations are fixed, and you don’t need to think about it. You can leave by taking a plane or by EMU. However, it is different to reach another planet by taking a spaceship, because all planets are in a state of constant movement and very fast.

As the largest planet in the solar system, the revolution speed of the huge Jupiter is not faster than other planets. It takes about 11 Earth years in a revolution period, but on average, its speed reaches a speed of 47,000 kilometers per hour.

This huge planet is 1,316 times the size of the Earth. It is 630 million kilometers closest to the Earth, and it is nearly 1.3 billion kilometers when it is farthest from the Earth. There is a huge difference between the two. With Jupiter's powerful gravity, if Expedition One directly breaks into Jupiter's gravitational range, then the trouble will be huge.

Expedition One, used to explore the universe, does have a powerful engine system to ensure sufficient speed, but this does not mean that these engines can burst out enough power in a short period of time, and 6 is used to break free from the gravity constraints of a giant planet. If it were so powerful, Expedition One would not have to wait for the completion of the Universe Port before it was started. It would have been built on Earth and then directly entered space from the ground. Not to mention that Jupiter's gravity is much greater than that of Earth, about 2.5 times that of Earth.

Therefore, giant ships like Xiangxian One cannot rashly enter the range of Jupiter's strong gravitational interference. In particular, Jupiter is still a powerful radiation field, with its radiation field more than ten times that of the Earth, just like a natural orbital accelerator, constantly catching various particles madly. This is not comparable to the Van Allen radiation belt of the Earth. To calculate it, Jupiter's radiation field is almost one million times that of the Van Allen radiation belt. It can be imagined its danger, and Jupiter is just a planet in the solar system.

So first of all, Expedition One needs to calculate an intersection point closest to the sun orbit and Jupiter orbit and temporarily away from Jupiter. After reaching a certain position safe enough from the Earth, start the space folding technology, set the exit near the pre-calculated intersection, and then calculate the approximate position of Jupiter in orbit, carefully arrive near Jupiter, and then send a small battleship to release various observation devices. If necessary, it is possible to send a landing ship to satellites near the Jupiter system to collect various data. In order to cope with this strong radiation environment of Jupiter, these equipment must also have a powerful radiation shielding device.

The journey to Jupiter is expected to take about two weeks on Earth, one of which is used to travel, and one week stays inside the Jupiter system to carry out various scientific research activities.

All these time cannot be saved.

Expedition One is to help humans on Earth find new habitable places. Although this trip within the solar system is just for a test run, this test run not only includes testing the long-distance travel of Expedition One itself, but also testing various equipment on ships and the actual combat capabilities of various models of ships inside giant ships. Of course, various scientific research is also indispensable. In the words that Chinese people like to say the most is that when they come, they can't just turn around and leave without doing anything, right?

Not to mention that scientists have always suspected that there are habitable planets in the Europa System that are suitable for human survival. For example, the German astronomer William Krees, who is working on the ship, has the opportunity to travel on the Jupiter system on the field and prevents these scientists from collecting enough samples. The research department on Expedition One pointed out that there is no possibility of riots.

However, these things are something that the people in the command hall need to worry about.

During the high-speed driving of Expedition One, various warships on the outer layer will not be released, mainly because these warships cannot independently withstand the huge pressure brought by the folding of space. In other words, these ships anchored on the outer layer of Expedition One do not have the ability to navigate at a long distance and can only rely on Expedition One for long-distance navigation.

Expedition One can be regarded as a super giant aircraft carrier, but this aircraft carrier is not cruised on the sea, but in the vast space.

So this is the holiday for everyone on the ship.

Except for a few people who also need to be busy at their positions, most people are in a leisure state. Of course, even in this semi-recreational state, they still need to complete various training activities every day. Of course, today is an exception. On the day of the first voyage, countless people gathered next to the big screen in the central square of the living area to watch everything outside the ship.

In fact, everyone is familiar with these scenery. In the game "Starry War", everyone has experienced voyages in spaceships, but after all, what they see today is the real universe.

As the acceleration state is completed, the internal engine is controlled by the throttling speed regulation sensing device, making the spacecraft more stable. In fact, even if it is bumpy, the feeling of the living area is very slight. After all, Expedition One is too big, as big as a moving medium-sized city.

In the virtual screen, the outer metal plate of the spacecraft facing the sun has been unfolded, absorbing light and heat in a random way, and simultaneously converting it into energy to be stored in the backup energy system. The emitted light looks like white hot metal burning freely, while the other side is boundless darkness. Of course, there must be countless stars hidden in the darkness, but it is just that it cannot be seen from this angle.

Two ultra-small satellites carrying t658 monitoring probes were quietly released. These monitors are like a coordinate locator. In the open space, they will move along a fixed orbit. Their own electromagnetic wave detection system will automatically record and analyze various cosmic rays, x-rays, and various strange scenes that cannot be seen by the naked eye from the solar system, the Milky Way, and even the universe. Then, through timed quantum transmission, this information will be automatically synchronized to Expedition One.

They are both the eyes of Expedition One, and also the coordinates on a long journey of the universe until their lifespan is exhausted or they are destroyed by various accidents. Otherwise, it will continue to work, continuously providing countless information for Expedition One, and helping the giant ship explore the star map from all angles in the future.

There are many detection equipment of the same model, calculated in units of millions. There are production lines on the giant ship that specializes in producing such equipment. However, it is not far from the earth now, so there is no need to release too many small detectors. The two released are not so much for detection, but rather to test the performance of these products and obtain more parameters.

When you arrive at the unfamiliar starry sky, this kind of detector can come in handy. Only by large-scale releases at any cost can you obtain more detailed cosmic parameters, which are extremely important for future cosmic voyages. If these detectors are lucky enough, they may be able to survive until the arrival of the next generation of human cosmic voyage spacecraft. At that time, the signals emitted by these emitted detectors can be like a lighthouse in the vast ocean, which can guide the correct direction for later generations.

In another hall full of electronic equipment ten meters away from the command hall, hundreds of operators were proofreading the various parameters of the detector in front of their respective operating tables.

This is the Star Map Drawing Room.

In order for these detectors to survive as long as possible, various emergency program settings must be perfect. At the same time, this hall is also responsible for processing various data fed back by countless similar detectors in the future after analysis by quantum superbrain. Based on the data given by the star map surveyor of the command module, the production accuracy is extremely high, and it can even restore the dynamic and accurate star map of the normal operation of the planet in a certain area. Then, it is calculated and verified by the quantum superbrain, and it is stored, backed up, and sent back to the earth.

This is an extremely meticulous work. Each star map requires these staff to repeatedly compare, measure, and verify through various feedback data. The quantum superbrain can complete most of the work. However, to make the drawn star map accurate enough to withstand dynamic rehearsals a hundred years later, it is absolutely inseparable from the more than a thousand employees of the third shift who were guarding the workbench for this work. Because the galaxies in the universe are dynamic, they can only be said to be relatively stable. There are too many possible variables in the galaxy, causing changes in the positions of the planets of the entire galaxy.

For example, the big explosion caused by a super-large space meteorite colliding with a planet may directly affect the trajectory of a planet. When the trajectory of a planet in a galaxy changes, its chain reaction may cause countless planets in the entire galaxy to begin to deviate, and after various adjustments, they will return to a relatively stable state.

This is the time deduction of the star map.

These people must use the various information they have obtained to judge the various situations that may occur in these galaxies within a certain period of time, and calculate a dynamic star map that spans time and is as accurate as possible. Only such star maps can help future earth civilizations conduct deep space exploration to the greatest extent. This is also one of the most important tasks of Expedition One.

Next to the star map drawing room, there is also a large operating room of the same size.

However, there was no one in the operation hall at this time. This was the general dispatch room for all fleets parked on the outer floor.

When a warship needs to be dispatched, people here need to be dispatched.

When there are combat tasks, the various combat tasks assigned by the General Staff will be verified here and placed on each ship.

At this time, Expedition One was in the cruise stage and there were no extradition ships, so there were only a dozen people left on their posts to deal with the dispatched tasks in urgent times.

Perhaps the same busy as these people working overtime are the ship-on scientists who are conducting various research at the bottom.

More than 300 scientists, plus their respective projects, have about 2,000 people busy on the second and third floors.

Strictly speaking, these scientists are the most precious wealth of the Starry Sky Group. They logged into Expedition One through voluntary application and selection. They are one of the most important components on Expedition One, and are responsible for finding tasks that may be suitable for human survival and giving various planet transformation plans. They will also use special environments in space or other planets to conduct research on various disciplines.

As for the mecha warriors serving at the bottom and top levels, they are undergoing routine training every day.

Of course, just like serving on Earth, these elite soldiers will also have holidays and can go to the sixth and seventh floor living and entertainment areas to conduct various leisure activities. There will be shifts every six months to exchange positions with the soldiers in charge of internal affairs.

But to be honest, the inside of the military camp is actually very comfortable and has a complete range of entertainment facilities. If it weren't for the need for various social interactions to release emotions, these two paramilitary areas could be self-sufficiency.

They were the first unit to log in. They had been living on Expedition One for half a month and had long been used to life on Expeditionary Ship. Although today's day is special and the official voyage of Expedition One, it is no different for them from the first half month. It was nothing more than the slight bumps when the engine started.

In this way, Expedition One was advancing in the terrifying universe. If it was based on the speed on the earth, its speed was very fast, reaching 18 kilometers per second, but compared with the vast universe, this speed could never be considered fast, and it was about 11 kilometers slower than the Earth's revolution speed per second. It was like a snail carrying a heavy shell, moving quietly in the universe. It would maintain this speed when sailing twenty-two earths, and rushed to the position that was strictly calculated and affected by various gravitational fields in the solar system, entering the first space folding area, and heading to the Jupiter system that was waiting for them to unveil the mystery...
