Great Zhou Empress

Xiao Liege couldn't resist Xue Zhijing's pursuit at all. In other words, she seemed to be caught in an illusion that she and Xue Zhijing had been together for a long time. The initial refusal was probably just a feeling that it couldn't be so fast.

It's just that the passionate love came too fast, and she couldn't control herself at all.

During the time they were together, they often traveled around the world. Most of the time they would take the "super capsule high-speed rail", and occasionally take an expensive supersonic plane. The speed of sound is 1170 kilometers per hour. The highest energy of this supersonic plane It reaches a speed of nearly 1300 kilometers per hour, but the energy consumption and material consumption to maintain this speed are several times or even dozens of times that of a subsonic aircraft, so the price is high.

Xue Zhijing likes this era, in which energy is almost inexhaustible, man and nature live in harmony, the whole world is full of vitality, and people are full of creativity.

Although she had foreseen that her existence would have some changes in this time and space when she was in Dazhou, she couldn't imagine what kind of changes it would be. At this time, she really wanted to take a look, the more she looked, the happier she would be , probably? It feels like a small sapling that I have carefully raised has grown into a beautiful towering tree.

In the previous life, the world has only experienced three industrial revolutions, and it is said that the fourth industrial revolution is a revolution in artificial intelligence, isn't it? But does she think so? If it is to be called a revolution, artificial intelligence must be "" "Intelligence", no? It can be "mentally retarded", but human beings don't even have their own brains? Research shows that why do humans even have? Consciousness can't be explained? Clearly, how can a conscious mechanical creature be created?

And here? The fourth industrial revolution is an energy revolution. This energy revolution has truly opened the door for human beings to enter the universe. For human beings at this time, it is like 2000 years ago. With the "sail", it is like conquering the vast sea.

A boat without sails can also enter the sea, but the speed is not enough and the risk factor is too high. It is basically a matter of luck. Only with a "sail" can a person control the boat.In the past, human beings could also enter space, but the energy consumption was huge, the speed was too slow, too many restrictions, and the risk factor was extremely high. Only now, human beings have obtained a new "sail", the fastest spaceship theory at present. It can reach 50% of the speed of light, and it will take [-] years to visit the neighbor of the solar system, Proxima Centauri.

Biological scientists have obtained the information of "immortality? Old?" from the lighthouse jellyfish. The life expectancy of human beings has reached [-] years. The biological science and energy revolution have made this era truly an era of "cosmic voyages".

Xue Zhijing originally thought that there would be nothing wrong with living with Xiao Liege in such a peaceful way? Ups and downs, living an ordinary life without Xiao Liege? Once, Xue Zhijing talked about something coyly.

"You want to participate in the Europa expedition?" Xue Zhijing said in surprise.

Xiao Liege nodded.

Europa, the second satellite of Jupiter, is about the same size as the moon. According to the detection, this satellite has a metal core. The surface of the satellite is covered with an ice shell hundreds of kilometers. Ocean of water, above the ice shell there is a thin atmosphere, in which there is oxygen.

According to the Earth's biosphere, if there is water, there may be living things, and Europa is likely to have living things.But? Because of the long distance, detection has always been carried out through long distances, and some creatures are also speculated. No one has really explored it yet.

The current space construction is mainly concentrated in the outer space of the earth's equator, the moon, Venus and Mars, and the remaining areas are still areas to be explored, just like the Arctic Ocean area and Antarctic area in the early years, few people go there.

"This expedition was jointly organized by the Earth Federal Geological Survey and several companies. I can't do scientific research, but my years of sea rescue experience are very suitable for such long-distance expeditions. Wanted to check it out. I signed up and it was basically set.”

When Xiao Liege said it, he was excited and cautious at the same time. After all, he was only with Xue Zhijing, and she was about to go on an adventure. It seemed unreasonable, but what should I do, she really wanted to go.

Xue Zhijing didn't? He stopped and didn't agree, and asked, "How long is the plan? What are you planning to do? When will you set off? What are you going to do for the specific expedition?"

Xiao Liege found that Xue Zhijing didn't seem to be angry. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "It will take eight months to go, and the exploration time is tentatively scheduled to be three years. After three years, I can choose to come back, and it will take eight months." months, four and a half years."

Four and a half years?

Xue Zhijing took a deep breath. This is really not a short period of time. Quantum communication is still under development and can only use radio wave communication. There will be a delay. Not in real time.

It is true that there are some that are unacceptable for a while, but Xue Zhijing feels that this is what Xiao Liege wants, and he has no right to stop it.

Xiao Liege continued, "The departure time hasn't been set yet. We still have to prepare. What about training? After all, this trip isn't short, isn't it? It's a place where the Space Force patrols all the year round. What if something happens? It's a big deal The probabilities have to be handled by us, so it takes a long time to prepare, and now it is said that the selection has not been fully selected, and it will take a year or two before the departure."

Xue Zhi nodded, agreeing to this statement.

Probably because he saw Xue Zhijing's head, Xiao Liege breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "The main purpose is to explore the geological structure of Europa, to see if there are any? There are no living things, and a permanent base will be built on it, and then the A hole, see if it's really a saltwater ocean in there."

"Aren't you a scientific researcher, what is your job?" Xue Zhijing continued to ask.

"There are tens of hundreds of people in such an expedition team. My work is very important. If there is any danger, I will save them all." Xiao Liege said proudly.

Xue Zhijing chuckled, "Dare you, you are going to be a bodyguard."

Xiao Liege: "..."

Xiao Liege couldn't get too angry, so he rushed over and got into a fight with Xue Zhijing. The two were evenly matched, and they fought back and forth on the bed. In the end, one of them probably didn't want to part with him. Exploring a place far away, one felt ashamed, and started something indescribable...

After that day, Xue Zhijing began to pay attention to the expedition that Xiao Liege mentioned.

In this era, such expeditions are like encouraging sea merchants to go to sea when she was in the Zhou Dynasty in the early years. Is it possible to rely only on the power of the government? There is no way to expand the living space of human beings, not just because of the masters Among the folks, more ordinary people hope to change the status quo by relying on expeditions, so there are not many expeditions.

In fact, in this brand new modern society, did Zhijing Xue? This kind of creature always wants to find a little meaning for his life, as if he doesn't want to waste his life.

The more I read the information about the "Expedition to Europa", the more Xue Zhijing had thoughts similar to Xiao Liege's, and she wanted to go too.I can't say why? I just want to go, probably because of the climbing mentality of "the mountain is there, I just want to climb it".

She is also the type to do what she says, and she starts to prepare when she wants to go. The company has to resign, to participate, to sign up, and to be screened.Originally, people didn't think highly of people like her. She was a businessman. She couldn't compare to a half-soldier like Xiao Liege. Why couldn't she be considered a suitable candidate for an expedition? What would she be asked to do?Have you sold the ice on Europa?

But Xue Zhijing used his strength to show his strength to the opponent.

She can hold her breath for 5 minutes, can easily do fifty pull-ups, has super computing power and digital memory, not to mention super acuity and observation skills, it can be said that she can compare with the physical ability of the Space Force .

In this way, Xue Zhijing walked into the first meeting after the formation of the expedition team with ease.

When Xiao Liege saw her, he was shocked, Xue Zhijing went over and said with a smile, "I want to surprise you, do you like it?"

"I like it so much." Xiao Liege excitedly stepped forward and put his arms around her waist and spun around several times.

Well, before they set off, the two started to abuse the dog. A group of people who were traveling together began to feel bitter. Most of them were single. Who would drag their families and take them out to explore? How can they survive the four and a half years? ?

A year of preparatory work followed.

Not only do everyone have to do physical training to adapt to the weightless environment of space, but they also need to learn various knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and first aid. Of course, there will be experts in classification, but everyone must understand the basics.The environment of space is extremely dangerous. If it is on the earth, if it falls into the sea? You can go to the sea to rescue it. A small gap or a small problem in space may destroy a ship and destroy a ship of people.

Finally, the day of departure has arrived. Everyone will take an aerospace plane, depart directly from the airport, and then connect with the long-distance spacecraft located above the equator.

The aerospace plane is extremely heavy and has a longer gliding distance. It feels similar to an ordinary plane in the atmosphere, but when it is about to approach outer space, because of the thinness of the air, it begins to be different. In the end When you enter space, you will be in a weightless environment instantly.

The aerospace plane is the best ground-to-air vehicle in this era, because it can be used repeatedly, no? It is disposable like a rocket.

Although he had done simulated training on the earth, but actually entered the weightless environment of space, seeing the extremely obvious curvature of the earth outside the window and the dark starry sky in the distance, Xiao Liege still exhaled a long breath.

Xue Zhijing's hand came over and squeezed hers tightly.

"From now on, we will embark on a new journey together."

"Yes, I'm excited, excited, and a little apprehensive now, why do you think?"

Xue Zhijing stroked Xiao Liege's hand with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "The children in the kindergarten will be excited, excited, and anxious the next day when we will go out for a spring outing. Why do you think?"

Xiao Liege suddenly laughed, "It's because I'm happy."

"Yes, for us now, and for all the people, embarking on this journey of stars and oceans will be as happy as kindergarten children. Because we will create a brand new world!"
