Fallen Star: Second Earth

"Have mercy on those three children!" Li Zhongtian knelt down on the ground with a haggard face.

Chen Zhenggang did not help him, but straightened his back and said: "There will always be sacrifices. Humanity has not broken through itself for too long. You and I, the three children, and many, many others are here Dedicate everything to this great progress. There will always be people who die along the way. This is unavoidable. Everyone will be sad, but there will always be someone to complete this great cause. Even if it is my sacrifice, it is not a big deal. Don’t be sad. What we have to do now should be to live up to their sacrifices instead of crying here."

Li Zhongtian also endured it and stood up with his stiff body. Chen Zhenggang also supported him and sent him to the lounge.

2 years later.

"Today is a very historic moment. Our inter-galactic spacecraft has broken through a critical stage, and the engine efficiency has reached the standard inter-galactic speed on the experimental ship. On behalf of the Inter-galactic Spacecraft Institute of the Huaxia Institute of Physics, I conducted the Today's specific report." At this time, Li Qingfeng stood on the podium of the institute and spoke passionately. Facing countless media, he had already experienced countless storms and calmly faced various problems and some difficulties.

Three hours later, Li Qingfeng walked off the stage wearing clothes already soaked with sweat.

Faced with the rising panic among the public, more and more people are expressing strong support for the interstellar colonization plan. People have long been numb to the peaceful and tranquil era, but similarly, when people face real dangers, the vast majority of people have no countermeasures, which also causes panic. In the past nearly 200 years of peace, people's understanding of the space world has only remained on an interstellar tourism spacecraft. Although this spacecraft can enter space for short-term flights, it cannot achieve planetary landing, and it does not have a life support system installed.

Li Qingfeng's electromagnetic thruster has successfully passed the research and development stage, and all that remains is the observation and analysis of the thruster's performance. Now the institute invests and is invested in, and receives huge donations from a large number of "philanthropic people". They have completely overcome their early poverty. And the United Nations has also granted a large number of privileges and policy preferences.

Li Qingfeng enjoyed a short bath time comfortably, and soon a message came in. It was from Professor Fang Shengqi. He asked Li Qingfeng to quickly find him in the main conference room. His research project had made new progress.

Li Qingfeng also quickly completed all the cleaning work, quickly packed his clothes and headed to the main conference room.

When Li Qingfeng arrived, many people were already discussing in the main conference room, and many people around Professor Fang, who was sitting in the first seat, were watching his experimental report.

"Qingfeng is here, come and take a look at the research results of my miniature life support system. I have optimized and improved the capabilities of the life support system many times. Finally, I decided to abandon the original internal circulation support system. We A more complex and cutting-edge technology has been created that can use a very small amount of energy to convert waste energy into required energy. That is, a technology that uses energy to process energy, and the loss of this energy is almost less than the cost of energy conversion. One percent."

After Li Qingfeng heard this, he was also very excited, but he quickly calmed down, because based on his understanding of Fang Shengqi in the past few years, he rarely introduced the benefits first. He also asked: "Tell me, Professor Fang, what is the biggest shortcoming of this thing."

Professor Fang also rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Those who understand me, Mr. Qingfeng, the biggest problem is money. You also know that researching this kind of converter requires a lot of rare metals and manpower, including protection. It is more important than the protection of the ship itself, and it also requires a lot of money in terms of stability. I heard that the institute just made a lot of money, is this going to fund us here?"

Li Qingfeng also shook the flesh on his face. He knew that the research and development of life support systems was a notoriously expensive project. This was one of the reasons why the United Nations invested a large amount of money in life support systems. "Make a price, how much do you need?"

Fang Shengqi showed the 3D image, and the above data was constantly calculating the amount, and said: "If it is a 50-person spacecraft, it should require about one-tenth of the life support system used in the world today."

Li Qingfeng breathed out. This amount of money was still within the acceptable range for him who was now a bit rich.

Fang Shengqi saw Li Qingfeng's relaxed look and said: "I mean one-tenth of the total life support systems in the world, and that's without adding the cost of the other two items. It seems you still have a lot in your pocket. It’s money.”

Li Qingfeng felt like vomiting blood after hearing this. If the expenses required by Fang Shengqi were deducted, the remaining expenses would definitely not be enough for them to continue to improve the spacecraft thruster. The most important thing is that this money may not be leftover.
