The End of Technology - Chapter 254 Millions of Urgent Urgency

Today’s security alert was a rare experience for both men.

Space shipping lanes sound more dangerous than the civil aviation lanes that used to be in the atmosphere. After all, the distance between the earth and the moon alone is more than 300,000 kilometers. If something happens in the vast and vast space, it will really be a disaster every day. No, the ground is not functioning properly.

But in fact, from the launch of the Wu Gang to the Fengming series of anti-gravity civilian aerostats gradually replacing airplanes as the main civil aviation aircraft, there have been zero major safety accidents in both intra- and extra-atmospheric waterways. Good results.

This is largely due to the base’s various safety and redundancy designs for the floating shuttle ship.

At least so far, no ship has had an accident on the space route and claimed human life.

Especially during the construction of the lunar scientific research base, the entire channel was extremely busy, with various types of transport pontoons shuttled through it almost all the time, and no accidents ever occurred.

In addition, the entire waterway was originally covered with communication buoys, which was enough to ensure that any distress message could be responded to immediately. Moreover, the waterway had special maintenance search and rescue ships cruising in fixed orbits every 50,000 kilometers, giving people full safety. feel.

In addition, this era can be said to be the most peaceful era in a hundred years. With the infinite imagination provided by space with nearly unlimited resources, coupled with China’s increasing control, the world has become a lot more peaceful.

Especially huge improvements in the field of publicity.

When many world media, including NBC and CNN, began to work together to promote the good times of the future space age, the world became much less hostile. Most of the time it’s a verbal spat in various UN agencies.

After all, how the space interests will be distributed in the future has not yet been decided, and it is far from the time to break up and start a dispute.

Especially for many areas with disputed territories, Mars, which is being transformed, is the place they most yearn for.

There is no unowned territory on Earth anymore, but if Mars can be successfully transformed, the territory will be huge. Even if Mars is China’s private territory, it is enough to prove that this technology is effective. Currently, seven planets in the solar system have been detected that are suitable for habitable transformation. These are the territories of future earthlings.

After all, China’s various population encouragement policies are already at their full capacity, and no matter how much encouragement is given, it is impossible to reach 3 billion people within ten years.

Of course, this is a double-edged sword, because if the Mars transformation plan fails, the pressure may be greater. After all, China’s rapidly increasing population needs someone to support it. Feeding, drinking and eating for 200 million people is not a small sum.

Judging from the current situation, everyone is waiting for the results of Mars’ transformation, and all conflicts have been temporarily suppressed in a state that everyone agrees to. This fact means that even if someone wants to cause trouble, they will be suppressed by collective power.

No matter how arrogant a person is, he will become honest after a few big competitions. The same is true when zoomed in to the national level. When the big guys sitting at the table all feel that it is better to be quiet and not move at this time, who dares to jump out and cause trouble at this time, which is a matter of one or two big competitions.

So today’s warning message is somewhat sudden.

Fortunately, every floating ship is equipped with a safety cabin, which is also an escape cabin in case of real problems. The capsule itself is equipped with a starlight positioning system. Even if something happens, it can be quickly located and rescued through beacons placed on the Earth-Moon route.

The most important thing is that the Alexander has just left the moon for about half an hour. With the size of this aerostat, it only takes a few minutes to readjust the return route. Therefore, although Zhinao gave an early warning, the two of them were not too panicked, and no one on the ship panicked, even if DuPontle directly activated the alarm device.

After a long period of peace, his vigilance naturally declined. On the way to the safety cabin, Chen Xi was even upset that he could not arrive on time on time today. After all, the moon base is really not a place for normal people to stay. However, the two of them still paid attention to the warning from the Intelligent Brain System.

Chen Xi is because of his long-term safety education, and Dupont is because he has seen the capabilities of the intelligent brain system.

However, when the two walked into the nearest safety cabin and the external hatch was locked, a piercing alarm sounded.

This time it wasn’t a PC warning, but an aerospace ship’s siren.

“Alarm, alarm, an external explosive impact has been detected. The ship’s gravity device may lose control. Please enter the protective cabin immediately.”

The two looked at each other in surprise.

The content of this alert is obvious…

Did someone attack the Alexander? On the Earth-Moon Passage?

At this time, Chen Xi could no longer think about returning to Earth. He quickly opened the seated protective compartment in the safety cabin, sat on his seat, then raised his hand to pull down the oxygen mask above his head, put it on his head, and then pressed the seat The button on the armrest of the chair activates the fixing device and the door of the protective compartment is closed.

These are standard features of spacecraft. All scientists who have entered space on a ship have gone through several rounds of training and will basically make no mistakes. After finishing the operation quickly, Chen Xi glanced at Uncle Du next to him. It was obvious that the old man was more concerned about his own safety. In just a short while, he also completed the full set of actions to enter the protective cabin. At this time The warehouse door is also closing slowly.

Before Chen Xi could react, after taking a sip of oxygen gushing out of the mask, she felt sleepy, and the next moment she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. At the same time, the entire protective chamber began to automatically spray out white mist, which then condensed into soft foam and filled the entire chamber.

From this point of view, the little girl who was careless and quick-footed was much luckier than the little old man who was more than ten seconds slower.

Because nothing happened when she fell asleep, the old man was different. It was only a dozen seconds later that he heard the piercing alarm sound, and then the entire protective cabin began to vibrate violently, followed by a strong pushing feeling on her back. This was In the worst case scenario, the entire cabin was automatically ejected, which showed that the system assessed the risk of the Alexander’s explosion, and it also showed that this time things were serious.

Although there are five protective cabins in the safety cabin, only two are occupied. Although the protective cabin can sleep for 72 hours, if there is a collision and injury, medical nanorobots will be available to repair it. Although after the wake-up program is started, the safety cabin The supplies and life support systems stored inside are enough for five people for three months, and for two people for longer…

But this is space. If the safety cabin floats outside the signal receiving position of the channel communication buoy and loses the starry sky positioning system, it would be very difficult to find such a small safety cabin in space. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. .

Yes, at the moment before falling asleep, Dupont Le’s pupils clearly showed fear. I thought that even when I was asleep, I would still have nightmares.

…

At the first base on the moon, a piercing siren suddenly sounded throughout the base.

Chen Luo, who had been busy for more than ten hours in a row, was suddenly awakened as soon as he climbed into bed and fell asleep. He was still in a state of confusion. Although the piercing alarm sound kept blasting in his ears, he did not react at all.

Are aliens attacking the moon?

This was the first thought that came to my mind after I finally woke up from my trance. Fortunately, the synchronously vibrating personal computer beside his bed freed him from such ridiculous thoughts. Chen Luo picked up his personal computer and saw the urgent message.

“Level 1 search and rescue alert. The Alexander micro-aerostat responsible for the Earth-moon transfer mission was attacked by an aerosol mine 41,200 kilometers away from the moon. The power chamber of the module was severely damaged, and all twelve safety cabins were ejected.”

Chen Luo, who had just seen this emergency search and rescue message, felt baffled and even felt a little bit of schadenfreude.

Alexander micro-floating ship?

Why would this piece of shit come to the moon if it has nothing to do?

Are the bureaucrats in the so-called Lunar Management Office starting to act like monsters again?

A few seconds after my brain started working, I suddenly felt like something was wrong.

Wait, there was an attack 41,200 kilometers away from the moon? Didn’t this guy get beaten just on the edge of the moon?

This situation is wrong. How could it be attacked on the edge of the moon? Are there really aliens?

No, floating thunder? This thing shouldn’t be alien technology. If aliens really found the lunar passage, there would be no such backward means to carry out such an attack. It’s hard to say that he came directly to the moon base.

Besides, there are currently only three bare bases on the moon…

Wait, why are there floating mines on the waterway? Today is not a reception day, so why would an aerospace ship come to the base?

So fiercely, the conversation he had with Chen Xi before he started revising Rigel 1 yesterday came into his mind…

“Elder brother, Director Ning told me before that he can leave at any time as long as I complete the tasks assigned to him. He made an agreement with Uncle Zhuo. I will call Uncle Zhuo and he will arrange a boat to pick me up tomorrow. . Of course Director Ning also said that I must have a leave note approved by you or him. So, Senior Brother, you will definitely grant me leave, right?”

MMP!

Chen Luo suddenly jumped up from the bed: “Holy shit… my junior sister is on the boat?!”

Thinking of his mentor repeatedly asking him to take good care of his little junior sister, Chen Luo not only woke up instantly, but also almost went crazy…

…

Space, the Nuwa space research and exploration ship.

This place is extremely busy at this time, and the entrance and exit on the bottom of the giant ship are constantly handling floating ships carrying various supplies.

This giant ship is making final preparations for its upcoming expedition to the Saturn system.

Capturing a satellite, even if it is only two-sevenths the mass of the moon, is quite difficult. Not to mention that when capturing this satellite, the impact on the Saturn system itself must also be considered, so this expedition is extremely difficult, including various calculations and scientific experiments.

Everyone’s morale is also extremely high.

If the capture of Enceladus is successful this time, it will not be as simple as making history. It also means that humans have the ability to design and build planetary systems on their own. If we imagine more distantly, it also shows that in the future, humans can even independently design and build star systems based on their own preferences and livable survival needs.

Once we reach that point, it can be said that everywhere in the universe can become a beautiful home.

Of course, this amount of work is still unimaginable at present. The complexity of the movements of countless stars in a star system is there. Its complexity is no less than that of microscopic particle movements. A single move may move the whole body. Therefore, even though humans have officially entered space, this grand idea is temporarily unavailable. It can only be in the fantasy stage.

But then again, the development of science and technology relies on continuous accumulation. When it reaches a limit, it then accumulates more and more.

Maybe countless impossibilities in the future will begin with capturing Enceladus and successfully transforming the Martian environment?

Zhang Haifeng stood on the observation deck of the Nuwa, looking at the busy scene on the route, and felt his heart surge with excitement and pride!

He was very satisfied to be appointed as the safety director in charge of the Nuwa expedition.

Although he will not be able to contribute much in the field of scientific research in his life, being able to protect such a grand undertaking, not to mention the rich capital accumulated, at least in this life – is worth it.

Just then his personal computer began to vibrate.

When he reluctantly looked away, he picked up the computer and took a quick look, and then his whole body felt bad…

“The Alexander spacecraft was attacked and disintegrated near the lunar base? That little girl Chen Xi was actually on the ship? What the hell…”

The security boss who had just looked so arrogant suddenly exploded. He was so frightened that his hands began to move. At this moment, his mind inexplicably showed the face of Ning Zi that had become increasingly invisible in recent years. Thinking of Ning Zi. Zhang Haifeng suddenly felt like he was about to collapse…

How could something like this happen at this time?

God knows how crazy Ning Zi will go when she knows this news…

Crazy, everything is going crazy now…

To capture Enceladus, you also need to capture a hammer…

They all just wait for Ning Zi to go crazy.

Who the hell is this?

Is it because Xiao Ning’s temper has improved over the years and she has never lost her temper? The scars have all healed and the pain has been forgotten?

Wait, Xiao Ning seems to be taking Kuafu to Mars. Thank God, it’s better for him not to know the news at this time…

I was complaining crazily in my heart, and my hands were not slow at all. I immediately started to use the permissions on my personal computer to enter commands…

“Material preparation work is suspended, and the Nuwa will immediately carry out a search and rescue mission, targeting the moon…”

Less than ten seconds after the command was sent, a communication request came from his personal computer.

After subconsciously connecting, the roaring sound came out before the holographic image was generated.

“Zhang Haifeng, are you crazy? You are going to the Saturn system soon. Are you suspending material preparations at this time?”

“No, you haven’t received the message yet?”

“what news?”

Zhang Haifeng glanced at his personal computer. Oh, the message was sent through the internal system of Zhi Nao. Before the announcement was broadcast, he immediately reported the report with a grimace: “The Alexander pontoon responsible for transporting Chen Xi to Wu Gang was attacked near the moon. During the attack, the aerostat was seriously damaged and the escape capsule was automatically launched.”

“Chen Xi? That Zhibo girl that Ning Zi accepted the year before last?”

“Um!”

“I…I…go quickly, hang up!”
