Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 45 Forty-One Years

Yes, unlike others, Yue Yuan will not hibernate. He will be awake to lead the new government and lead mankind through these difficult years until mankind embarks on the second long journey.

And taking advantage of the relatively free time in the future, Yue Yuan also plans to enrich himself.

Over the past few years, he has felt that his knowledge level is a bit insufficient, especially when dealing with suggestions or opinions submitted by various industries, some of which have never heard of professional knowledge.

Although there is a think tank, Yue Yuan feels that this is not possible, and it is best to know it by himself.

It just so happens that I have a long life and more time now, so I take this opportunity to study harder. I don't want to become a scientist, but I want to be more knowledgeable.

In the Callisto base where entertainment is scarce, studying is undoubtedly the best way to spend time.

"It's not a big deal if you wear small shoes. Dr. Yi Kai is an open person, and he can only say a few words to me at most." A smile appeared on Zhu Pitt's face, as if he was recalling the scene when he met Yi Kai.

To be frank, it's not bad to say that he is a sweetheart. Yue Yuan complained in his heart, and then he was about to ask about the security department, but he found that Zhu Pite's voice suddenly rang out.

"Hey! Oh, OK. OK, security work must not be relaxed. OK. OK, I know you are waiting for me there. I will be there soon."

Seeing Zhu Pite hang up the phone, Yue Yuan immediately said without waiting for him to speak: "Go ahead if you have anything to do."

"Yes, Commander Yue." Zhu Pite turned around neatly and left quickly.

After watching Zhu Pi Te's back leave, Yue Yuan once again looked out the window, looking at the lights that looked like stars.

Now in the sky of Callisto, there are no stars visible with the naked eye. We can only look at human beings' own lights to comfort our souls.

But somehow, as I looked at it, and then thought about myself and mankind having to stay on this dark place of Callisto for several more decades, a feeling of loneliness and desolation suddenly arose spontaneously.

"Bashan Chushui is a desolate place, abandoned for twenty-three years."

In this situation, Yue Yuan assumed the identity of a poet again, but his feelings were very different from those before in Hanhai.

Feeling the poem that suddenly popped out of his mind, Yue Yuan suddenly felt that he understood Liu Yuxi's mood when he wrote this poem.

The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night.

Whether you are happy, sad, or lonely, time passes day by day as always.

Twenty-three years passed in a blur.

During this period, besides work and study, Yue Yuan's busiest period was five years ago.

Because at that time, the construction of the Zhengda cylindrical spaceship was completed.

But there was no cutting ceremony, no grand celebration, just a series of hibernation arrangements.

After the spacecraft was completed, the workers and engineers who originally built the spacecraft were also arranged to enter hibernation, and more machinery and equipment went into hibernation.

All this is to save energy and wait for the arrival of the shock wave of the Centauri triple star system.

To this end, many scientists have been awakened. They make various preparations for future impacts based on observation data and various calculation data.

During this round of observations and calculations, scientists were surprised to find that due to various previous influences, Callisto's rotation axis now happens to be facing the direction of the shock wave, and the human base happens to be in the other hemisphere.

In other words, in this round of material ejection impacts from the Centauri triple star system, Callisto turned into a shield and blocked everything for humans.

Since the base is foolproof, the scientists will naturally focus their energy on the large cylindrical spacecraft.

When the material ejection impact comes, the large cylindrical spacecraft will definitely no longer be able to operate in a synchronous orbit, so it will have to change its orbit.

In the plan developed by the scientists, the large cylindrical spacecraft needs to change from a synchronous orbit around Callisto to a high orbit around the poles, and also ensure that the spacecraft happens to be behind Callisto when the impact of the material ejection arrives.

Then, the linear speed of the spacecraft is required to be as small as possible.

The smaller the linear velocity of the spacecraft relative to Callisto, the longer it takes to pass behind Callisto, and the smaller the impact of the material ejection will naturally be.

For scientists, the calculation of the spacecraft's orbit change is simple, so they only need to deduce the intensity and duration of the material ejection.

Humanity once relied on Jupiter to avoid supernova explosions, so there is already a lot of data on the intensity, damage, and duration of material ejections. Scientists can add these data to the observation data of the material ejection clouds of the Centauri triple star system. to build the model.

With these things, scientists can determine how high the spacecraft's orbit needs to be and how to set its orbit.

Flat elliptical orbit.

Finally, the scientists decided on a plan.

The spacecraft is first pushed into a higher orbit, then orbits around Callisto until the shock wave is ready to arrive, and then precise corrections are made to allow the spacecraft to move around Callisto like a comet.

Under precise calculations, the large barrel spacecraft will move from the orbit close to Callisto to the far end when the material ejection impact comes, and then avoid the impact through a long far-orbit movement.

After completing the first calculation and predicting the orbit, the group of scientists who woke up, except for the daily rotation of scientific researchers, entered hibernation again.

Time passed slowly in the hibernation cycle.

When the material ejection approached, the group of scientists woke up from hibernation again, and then remotely controlled the spacecraft from the Callisto base.

The material ejection cloud, which is 4.22 light-years away, finally arrived at the location of Callisto after almost 45 years of long-distance travel.

Since the solar explosion also ejects materials from outer space, after a collision with it, the speed of the material ejected from the triple star system has been much lower than the original 10% of the speed of light. In addition, the distance is far enough, and its damage is weakened. A lot.

From this perspective, the dead sun helped mankind this time.

But even if it is weakened, it is still full of destructive power. After all, it is the explosion of three stars, and the power is indeed unimaginable. After the material ejection swept through, the space dock was riddled with holes is the best proof.

Under such circumstances, mankind formulated a series of scientific countermeasures, and finally withstood the impact of the material ejection cloud without any danger.

After this, the next thing humans have to do is a major relocation.

Big move from base to ship.

People woke up from hibernation one after another, and then went to the Orbital Mass Accelerator in batches, boarded flights bound for space launch, and boarded the long-lost spacecraft.

Before that, the spacecraft had been adjusted to a synchronous orbit again.

Based on past experience, nothing went wrong during this major relocation. Methodical is the best way to describe the process of moving to the spacecraft.
