Chapter 766: Huge Building
Nowadays, traveling back and forth between the blue planet and the moon has become a very common thing.
As there are more and more missions on the moon, more people need to go to the moon and participate in various tasks on the moon.
Some staff members who have been stationed on the moon for a long time will also return to the blue planet to rest during the holidays. After all, staying on the moon for a long time is a great test for people's physical and mental health.
On this trip, Xu You did not serve as the captain of the Shenniao aerospace fighter again.
Although operating an aerospace fighter does not require much difficulty, you only need to keep an eye on the data in the cockpit. Generally, no accidents will happen.
The Shenniao's autopilot technology is already very mature, which is even much easier to operate than ordinary aircraft. Even the take-off and landing processes can be completely completed by artificial intelligence.
However, in order to improve work efficiency as much as possible and avoid unnecessary waste of energy, Xu You handed over the position of captain to others, and he and Lin Shi worked together to study some unresolved issues.
The other people knew that Xu You and Lin Shi were working on the aerospace fighter, so they were very tactful and did not disturb them, but focused on monitoring the aerospace fighter.
Eighteen hours later, the aerospace fighter successfully landed at the airport on the moon.
After technological innovation, the speed of the Shenniao aerospace fighter is getting faster and faster, and it has become more convenient to travel between the blue planet and the moon.
Even compared to the longest flight on the Blue Planet, the flight between the Blue Planet and the Moon is faster.
After arriving on the moon, Xu You and Lin Shi first went to the lunar research station to rest for a night. The next day they went to the site of the first lunar planetary engine with the staff.
I haven't been to the moon for more than a year, and it is very different from before.
This huge planetary engine rises from the ground, and looking up from the surface gives people a very shocking feeling.
“Although we have known for a long time that the planetary engine is very large, seeing it in person still makes us feel awe,” said Lin Shi.
Lin Shi had seen many great buildings on the Blue Star, but even if all these great buildings were added together, they could not compare with the planetary engine.
Hearing Lin Shi's words, Xu You also smiled and said:
"More importantly, the planetary engine is not a typical building. Its purpose is just to complete the mission of pushing the moon. If humans really want to build a monumental building like the pyramids, they can do better."
While Xu You and Lin Shi were chatting, Robert came over.
"Academician Xu You, Professor Lin Shi, you are here."
Robert greeted Xu You and Lin Shi very enthusiastically. This older scientist has been stationed on the moon for a long time.
"Oh, Researcher Robert, you've been working so hard. You haven't returned to Blue Planet in all these days, right?"
Xu You was in a good mood when he saw his old friend Robert. After all, Robert was a person who really cared about the safety of Blue Star.
Xu You still admires Robert very much for being able to stick to the high-intensity work on the moon at such an old age.
"Yes, I have never been back. But the environment on the moon is very good now. It is no different from being on the Blue Planet in the lunar research station. I have lived on the Blue Planet for decades. To be honest, there is nothing left for me to miss. Even if I have to spend the rest of my life on the moon, I think it is a good choice."
Robert never married and had no descendants, so he really had nothing to worry about on Blue Planet.
The only thing that Robert can devote his energy to is the research of various scientific research projects.
The few of them walked and talked, and gradually came to the edge of the lunar planet engine.
The closer you get to the planetary engine, the more you can feel its greatness.
Looking up from below the planetary engine, even if you look up 90 degrees, it is difficult to see the top of the planetary engine.
"Okay, let's not go into the planet engine right now. The first test run will begin soon. Let's go to the control room."
After taking a general look at the stunning appearance of the lunar planetary engine, Xu You and his companions headed towards the control room.
The control room is neither far nor close to the location of the planetary engine, roughly equivalent to the distance between the control center and the launch site in a rocket launch base.
Sitting in the control room, you can see the panoramic view of the planetary engine without being seriously affected by the operation of the planetary engine.
After Xu You finally confirmed that everything was correct, the planetary engine officially pressed the button for its first trial run.
"ignition!"
Following the order from the planetary engine commander, the reactor ignition gate executed the ignition command.
In an instant, the entire planet's engine began to vibrate.
At this time, even though Xu You and others were still some distance away from the planetary engine, they could still feel obvious vibrations.
This strong vibration feeling was far more shocking than the time Xu You watched the rocket launch at the satellite launch center before.
Fortunately, this vibration is only stronger when the planetary engine starts working.
As the reaction gradually stabilizes, the vibration will become less noticeable and the internal shock absorber will take effect.
Otherwise, when all the planetary engines are built and working together, the moon will be under very great pressure, and people living inside the moon will feel .
At this time, Xu You and others no longer focused on the Moon Planet Engine outside the window, but on the large screen in the control room.
The screen is displaying various data of the planet's engine.
At this time, the gas conversion device in the planetary engine was constantly heating up, and soon the temperature reached three thousand degrees Celsius.
While observing the data on the big screen, Xu You was communicating relevant information with people around him.
"Compared to the planetary engine in "The Wandering Blue Planet", the planetary engine we built on the moon is much smaller. After all, such a huge device cannot be built in the real world. In addition, our planetary engine is also very different from the one in the novel."
When making the idea of transforming the lunar space station, Xu You did refer to some related science fiction novels and movies, which gave him some inspiration.
Of course, when actually designing, Xu You will still use rigorous science as the standard.
