Chapter 577 The Space Age and the Dark Forest

Luo Jia and the first batch of scientific researchers on the station began a journey from Earth to Space Station Zero. After twelve hours of continuous rise, the elevator finally arrived at the geosynchronous track.

Luo Jia looked up and found that the Zero Space Station was completely present in front of him. It was so majestic and shocking. The cylindrical central axis connected to the front and rear parking areas. The huge ring structure was like a silver-white super Ferris wheel, slowly rotating continuously.

The Ferris wheel structure has three floors, namely the living area, the scientific research area, and the logistics support area. In the future, as the number of personnel entering the space station increases, the No. 0 space station will continue to be expanded, and the large space dock will be put into operation soon to assemble the starship module transported from the Inner Mongolia base.

In short, it is the most incredible miracle in human history. It is difficult for any language to describe the beauty of the Zero Space Station. From then on, human beings will build a real home in space and connect the earth and the universe more closely together through the powerful transmission capacity of space elevators.

"Please note that Elevator No. 1 is about to connect to Space Station No. 0. Air pressure changes and mechanical collisions are inevitable during the connection process. Please return to your respective locations and tighten your seat belts..." Synthetic female voice broadcast again.

Luo Jia had no choice but to apologize to the audience, ended the live video broadcast, returned to her position, straightened her seat, and fastened her seat belts. The staff of the elevator operation department checked one by one. The process was a bit like the stage of a plane taking off and landing, but the stability was incomparable to the plane.

The elevator quickly entered the interior of the Zero Space Station along the graphene cableway, as if driving into a cave. First, the mechanical device is docked and fixed, and then the safety gate and the airtight door are closed one after another. The space station releases air to the docking compartment and adjusts the air pressure until it is similar to the atmosphere of the earth.

Under the guidance of the staff, Luo Jia unbuttoned her seat belt and then her body floated up, feeling very wonderful.

This is a weightless experience deliberately arranged for this trip. Although there is no gravity generated by rotation in the central axis area of ​​the No. 0 space station, there is also an electromagnetic gravity simulated device.

Soon after, the weightlessness experience ended, the electromagnetic gravity device was turned on, and Luo Jia felt that the weightlessness state gradually disappeared, and her whole body fell to the ground. Since there was a magnetic device in the space boots, her feet fell to the ground first.

Since you have been in space, it would be too boring not to experience the feeling of weightlessness. This time I just try it out. If you want to try it in the future, find a room in the central axis area and turn off the magnetic gravity simulator to enter the weightless state.

When the sealing door was opened, Luo Jia saw that the robot engineering regiment was arranged neatly, like a team of soldiers waiting for inspection, with electronic eyes staring at the group of humans curiously.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Space Station Zero and Space Elevator No. 1 have been successfully completed. You are the number one hero!" Luo Jia said with a smile.

He praised the robots as cordially as he treated his friends, and then let them disband and return to their jobs. He didn't have to pay too much attention to his arrival. In Luo Jia's mind, the robots are not slaves, but partners. In the future, they will join hands with humans and walk towards the sea of ​​stars.

Under Luo Jia's leadership, Xingchen Technology and even the world's concept of robots are slowly changing. At this moment, people do not know that in the long years to come, this interracial friendship established by living peacefully with robots and thus will have an unimaginable important role in the crisis-ridden universe. It is no exaggeration to say that it was Luo Jia's decision that saved everyone.

The live broadcast channel is still continuing. After Luo Jia and others arrived at Space Zero, they added a sense of introductory feeling to the live broadcast. Seeing the big boys excitedly drinking Coke, jumping into the swimming pool and playing, or riding bicycles in the gym while facing the beautiful blue earth, it was as if they were there.

"I'm going, this is so handsome! You can still swim in the Space Station Zero!"

"Oh my God, they actually faced floor-to-ceiling windows when they were exercising. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the slowly rotating earth, the distant Jupiter and Mars, and the brilliant stars!"

"Hmph! I'm not happy, compared with Space Station Zero, our invincible sea view room is not delicious at all."

"Your house faces the sea, and Space Station Zero faces the sea of ​​stars, there is nothing better than that."

"I don't know if the Zero Space Station is open to visit? If I can stay at Zero for one night in my life, it will be worth it if I die!"

"It should be possible. Luo Jia said that he wanted to develop the space tourism industry, but according to his usual habit of turning his elbows inward, I'm afraid you have to get the Chinese nationality first..."

"God, I'm so envious! I really want to be a Chinese citizen!"

The barrage was refreshed wildly, as if humans around the world had transformed into lemon spirits in an instant. Not to mention the sourness, the Western melon-eating crowd seemed to have witnessed a historical cycle with their own eyes. When the US-Soviet space race was in poverty, China was unable to do anything except watch it.

Today, China has returned to the stage of history and become one of the biggest players on the stage. At the same time, the protagonists of the past are gradually becoming audiences. This huge contrast between the past is the most unacceptable thing in the West.

"What you see now is the design drawing of the fourth ring of the Space Station Zero." Luo Jia pointed to the blueprint hanging in the conference room and said, "The fourth ring will be completed after the Spring Festival. By then, we will welcome the first batch of tourists from the space station, outstanding student representatives from Star University, meritorious employees in the company, elites from all walks of life, etc.."

"They will have the opportunity to spend three unforgettable days and three nights in the Zero Space Station. Due to space restrictions, there are not many opportunities to travel in space. However, as the space station continues to expand and with the opening of the Moon Base and the Mars Base, one day, we will enter a real space society, and everyone can start space travel easily and conveniently just like going home."

Luo Jia painted a big pie for all the audience in the way he was good at. Facing such a wonderful and beautiful future, people don’t know how to describe it except for its true fragrance.

"Long live! Long live Xingchen Technology!"

"The era of the universe has finally arrived!"

"We will definitely conquer Mars, conquer the solar system, and conquer the Milky Way!"

"Small break the ball, rush and rush!"

The barrage is refreshed wildly, full of optimism and arrogance. It seems that because of the inspiration of Star Technology, everyone now thinks that the road to the Star Sea is not difficult...

...

In the dark interstellar space, a small, ancient, and dilapidated aircraft was sailing towards the center of the Milky Way at a speed of seventeen kilometers per second.

Loneliness is its fate. Since Voyager One was launched on September 5, 1977 AD, it has always existed alone, day after day, year after year.

From today's perspective, Voyager One's technical equipment has been very behind. For many years, it has barely maintained its contact with the earth with a diameter of 3.7 meters.

The intensity of the radio signal will continue to decay with the increase of transmission distance. In order to receive minimal signals, NASA built the Deep Space Network, referred to as DSN.

The DSN is composed of three deep space communication facilities distributed at 120 degrees, located in California, North America, Madrid, Spain, and Canberra, Australia, to achieve signal transmission with Voyager One and not be affected by the earth's rotation.

The communication frequency of Voyager One is as high as 8GHz. In this frequency band, there is almost no interference and the signal-to-noise ratio is very high.

Voyager One is equipped with a high-precision gyroscope to ensure that it can always aim the antenna in deep space.

In short, scientists have tried their best to maintain a very difficult time, and the Earth has a faint connection with Voyager One, the greatest explorer in human history, and never had a detector that could go as far as it did.

Although Voyager One is definitely qualified to be kept in history, voices against it are still emerging one after another. People’s biggest fear of Voyager One comes from Golden Records.

The naive scientists of NASA were very eager to communicate with extra-star civilizations, so they placed a golden record in the cabin of Voyager One. The record not only contained detailed marks of the earth, but also a large amount of history and information about human beings.

I believe that all those who have seen Liu Cixin’s Three-Body Problem will leave a very deep impression on the laws of the dark forest, especially the Chinese, because as the oldest civilization on earth, we understand better than anyone, any country, or any group organization that it is not easy for a civilization to continue, and it is really difficult to live!

All civilizations that were once ranked alongside China were all destroyed, because in this world, the continuation of civilization has never been the norm, and the destruction of civilization is!

Liu Cixin said that the universe is like a dark forest. Every civilization is a hunter with a gun, sneaking in the forest like a ghost, gently pushing away the branches blocking the road, trying hard not to make any sounds in the footsteps, and even breathing must be careful.

He had to be very careful, because there were hunters who were sneaking like him everywhere in the forest. If he discovered another life, he could only do one thing and shoot it to destroy it.

In this forest, others are hell and an eternal threat. Any life that exposes one's existence will be wiped out soon.

On January 1, the eighth year of Xingchen Technology's establishment, the No. 0 Space Station and the No. 1 Space Elevator were officially put into operation. For a time, firecrackers and gongs and drums were clamoring. Every person on earth was deeply inspired and felt that he was about to become the master of the solar system and even the entire Milky Way.
