Voyage of the Stars

Sailing in the starry sky is lonely, but humans who have come all the way from the solar system have become accustomed to this loneliness. People living in spaceships, warships, scientific research ships, and biosphere spaceships have also become accustomed to life on spaceships and to this kind of life sailing in the universe.

This is what wandering civilization is like.

There is a saying in the Earth era that the four seas are home, which is a portrayal of human civilization today. The mother star is gone, and no star in the universe is a place where humans are attached. Humans now have their home on spaceships.

In this era, due to the popularity of gravity potential well technology, almost no one has the idea of ​​finding a suitable planet to live on. And with today's human shipbuilding technology, if you can't look at the dark universe from the porthole, people actually don't feel that they live on a spaceship.

I have long been accustomed to the voyage time of dozens or hundreds of years each time. This time, the voyage of more than a year is nothing at all. Ordinary people chat with friends and drink a few glasses of wine.

After reaching the fourth level of civilization, the living environment of human beings has become better. First of all, the application of gravity potential well technology allows humans to experience the earth's gravity again without worrying about the Coriolis effect. In addition, because the spacecraft has become larger and larger, people's residences and corresponding areas have become wider.

The residential spacecraft is naturally not as big as the Tianqin, but it is not much smaller. The length of a residential spacecraft from bow to stern is also 220 kilometers, and the width and height are also about 160 kilometers. Of course, its shape is not regular and not rectangular, nor is it made into a streamlined melon seed shape like a battleship, but more like a plump pufferfish after inflation.

This form has a larger volume, which conforms to the design concept of residential spacecraft. Other types of spacecraft that have large volume requirements are basically designed in this way.

Like battleships, the volume of these spacecraft is actually at the same level as planetary battleships, but the purpose is different, so they are also called planetary spacecraft by humans. Although the manufacturing process is not as demanding as that of a warship, it also has its own complexity. It is two different extremes of complexity from the manufacturing of warships. It is just that because there is no problem of carrying naval guns, their structures do not have the high-strength requirements of warships.

The huge size of the residential spaceship allows it to have enough space inside for humans to build various facilities. It is divided into many layers up and down, and it is precisely because of its size that it has all kinds of roads, streets, and general transportation tools.

Of course, the so-called transportation tools are not all like the cars of the Earth era running on four wheels on the floor of each layer. There are more various magnetic levitation trains sailing on the sky routes of each layer, and there are many personal wearable flight equipment like mechas, and its principle is also magnetic levitation.

Unlike tactical armor, it is a light outfit similar to the modified space suit, which is specially used for internal transportation of residential spaceships. Because tactical armor has strong destructive power, it generally does not appear in the streets and alleys of civilian spaceships. They are mostly used for activities on the surface of the planet.

So now the situation of human beings living in spaceships is probably running on the ground, orbital transportation that circulates along the sky track route, and simple personal flying mechas.

In particular, personal flying mechas are the most popular, and many people have one.

It's amazing that originally, under zero-gravity conditions, humans could use simple magnetic field technology to "fly" in spacecraft at will, but in that case, people were eager to realize the simulated gravity technology one day and return to the embrace of the earth's gravity environment. Now that such a gravity environment has been realized, they like to fly in the sky again.

Fortunately, the manufacturing capabilities of people's private institutions are also good, especially in the field of mechas. The mecha interest club founded by Xu Yanxia now has many sub-institutions. These institutions use the technology of the mecha interest club to manufacture personal flying mechas for people in need.

With more people flying, personal air crashes are inevitable. After all, there are always people who like to "fly mechas". For this reason, humans have added relevant laws on personal air crashes to the original traffic laws.

However, although there are personal air crashes, there will be no deaths. At most, they will suffer internal bleeding. In severe cases, they will only break their hands and feet. After all, all humans have been strengthened and modified, and are very crash-resistant. Those who are injured are basically the result of forgetting to turn on the overclocking mode or not brewing it in a hurry.

And it is a simple matter for humans to recover from such injuries with today's biotechnology.

Actually, the so-called air crash bill is not for compensation between the two parties involved in the air crash, but for compensation for damage to the facilities in the spacecraft caused by the crash. It is the type where people don't fall, but flowers and plants are damaged.

Today's planetary spacecraft is as big as an island. Naturally, there cannot be only steel jungles on it. Many plants that survived in the past and plants that were brought back from other biospheres and genetically modified are used as embellishments of various landscapes, which allows humans to finally experience the comfort brought by green cities again after many years away from Earth.

Even the road surface has the solid feeling of concrete, and there are naturally soil and rocks, which are all dug from rocky planets.

Although many new generations of humans have not personally experienced the days of life on Earth, under the new government's propaganda on the image of the human mother planet and the influence of the older generation, most people can still feel the beauty of harmony between man and nature.

The plants that humans brought out from Callisto were very limited. Fortunately, after discovering the dog-headed planet, they collected a wave of plants. On this basis, humans used advanced genetic modification technology, plus some genes of native plants on Earth as samples to conduct comparative editing and modification of those plants, so that some plants finally adapted to the living environment of humans, which led to the current spaceship city decorated with flowers and plants.

Of course, these new plants cannot be like those on Earth, and some of them are not even green leaves, and the so-called flowers are also very different from the plants on Earth, but different styles also bring different beauty to the human living environment.

This is technology changing life.

Because the ship is designed according to the technical scheme of having independent gravity potential wells on each floor, the other side of the ceiling of the lower floor is the floor of the upper floor, which is full of gravity potential well technology-related equipment, so in order to facilitate residents to go up and down in different layers, a weightless area is specially set up.

The interior of the living spaceship is like stacking the screens of multiple islands layer by layer. The difficulty of construction can be imagined, but it is also very practical. It is easy for a planetary spaceship to accommodate 200 million people.

Being able to create such a living environment with their own hands, humans are fully qualified to become a space race.

Except for the flagship Tianqin, the rest of the human battleships are slightly smaller. The size of ordinary planetary battleships is between Tianqin and the living spacecraft.
