847 Entering the City (Part 2)

As everyone was talking, the hover truck soon started to start and took everyone on the car to the quarantine area.

The complete blood sample was left for quick screening. After ultraviolet rays and nano-sterilization, he changed into uniform clothes provided by Starry Sky Group. Then, according to their respective number plates and under the guidance of the service robot, he climbed the ladder to Xingyao City.

The entire ladder station was running at full capacity, basically full of cabins, and it started immediately. When Xiao Yan found the few people he had just met on the ladder and found a seat, the ladder had already started.

"Good afternoon, dear passengers. It is now 5:48 pm Spanish time. The ladder runs at 95 minutes on Earth. It is expected to arrive at Xingyao City at 7:23 pm Spanish time. The ladder runs at 6g at the highest, so you will have a clear sense of weight in the first half of the hour. We will enter outer space in twenty-six minutes and seven seconds. Before the gravity device is started, there will be a moment of weightlessness. So please do not untie the seat belt and leave your seat before the safety signal comes out. Passengers who need it in particular, please press the service button next to the seat, and there will be a special service robot to contact you! Thank you for your cooperation!"

With the broadcast in the ladder, the ladder began to slowly rise.

Compared with the Rockets, the space ladder with orbits is obviously much slower to rise, but in order to get rid of the earth's gravity, the upward movement in the atmosphere is still increasing. Xiao Yan, who was sitting outside the ladder, clearly saw through the 360-degree fully transparent floor-to-ceiling viewing window, clearly seeing Putley Island keep getting smaller in its field of view until it is covered by clouds and disappears into his field of view.

During the overall addition process, few people showed adverse reactions. In fact, in the game of Star Wars, every time I ride the ladder, I will stimulate the brain and secrete hormones in the body, achieving similar experience effects. So although this is the first time that the Star Group's space ladder is open to ordinary people, everyone has long been accustomed to feeling that they are under a not-so-large force.

Most of the lucky ones who grabbed the front row of sightseeing seats were like Xiao Yan and his group, looking out the window intently, watching the miracles in the real world, sitting on the huge space ladder, gradually moving away from the earth, passing through the white clouds, until looking down at the clouds from a distant high place.

As the ladder continued to rise, a virtual screen also popped out from each seat, marking the ladder's running degree, height, external air pressure, and the time to enter a weightless state. Half an hour passed by, and after suddenly feeling the lightness of the whole body, tied himself to the chair with a seat belt so as not to float up, the gravity hammer in the center of the ladder almost started simultaneously, and the slow rotation brought about gravity similar to the earth's environment to the entire ladder.

What made Xiao Yan sigh most was that sitting in the ladder gave him a feeling of comfort. The added pressure was not as great as imagined, nor was it deafening noise. Without deliberateness, he could even hear Chen Jingjing sighing from time to time. In addition to the slight dizziness when gravity alternated, the ladder was much more comfortable than imagined, and it was not much different from the environment experience in the game.

Or this is one of the reasons why Starry Sky Group dares to bring all these ordinary people to the space city without any special training. This really brings the feelings in the game to reality. As Prince Wang said before, rather than saying that Starry Sky War is the first virtual reality game in human history, it is better to say that it allows humans to reach the future in advance, and everything about the future can be experienced and practiced in the game.

"Thank you for your support. This ladder will enter a uniform operation state. Now you can untie your seat belt and conduct limited activities in the rest area. The ladder will enter Xingyao City Ladder Station in about 69 minutes. Thank you again for your cooperation and understanding! I wish you a happy space journey!"

The radio sound fell, and the seat belts on the seats popped up automatically. Countless people sitting in the center began to flock to the surrounding tourist areas, enjoying the beautiful scenery of standing in the universe and looking at the earth in reality. At this time, the ladder was about 50,000 kilometers away from the earth. The shape of the entire Mediterranean was vaguely distinguished by the thick clouds. However, Putley Island could no longer be judged at all, or people who know the geographical location and are particularly sensitive can tell that the black dots on a certain earth were probably the island they passed by when they rode the ladder, but for most people, there was no way to distinguish it. At this height, Putley Island, like other small islands around it, was submerged in the intoxicating ocean and became a small embellishment in the ocean. In fact, for a planet with an area of ​​6 lands that only accounted for 29% of the total area of ​​the earth, if you look at it at a distance, the large 6 lands can only become a foil for the blue sea.

The ladder ran in a noisy and lively environment for fifty minutes. The earth was getting smaller and smaller in everyone's eyes, and the space city that was getting closer and closer gradually became clearer in everyone's eyes. As time went by, the earth's autobiography, the sun had begun to use light and heat to affect the other hemisphere, and at this time only a silhouette was left on Xingyao City.

At this time, some lights had already lit up in the city. The proportion of gas in the fully enclosed huge space city allows people on the ladder to have a glimpse of the whole picture of the space city. Compared with the huge earth, this space city is suspended in space alone, and dozens of artificial satellites surrounding the space city make this space city look less lonely.

"Please go to your seat and re-buckle your seat belt. The ladder will enter the space city realm in ten minutes. Gravity transfer will cause weightlessness of about thirty seconds. Please do not leave your seat at will!"

After the system broadcast, everyone was ordered to get back to their position. Ten minutes later, after experiencing a sense of dizziness again, the ladder finally entered the scope of the Space City.

There was no good scenery when the ladder entered Space City that day.

The track is surrounded by high-standard concrete environment, which is somewhat similar to the subway environment on the earth. However, the excitement of the people on the ladder reached its peak at this time.

After all, this is a real space city, and they will be the first batch of permanent space immigrants in human history, which is indeed worthy of excitement.

"I really have to live in space in the future! If I had changed five years ago, I wouldn't believe that I would have such an opportunity!" Chen Jingjing sighed.

"Who isn't it? It's just that when we arrived at the earth, we don't know when it happened." Xiao Yan looked at the direction of the imagined earth and said.

One sentence made everyone around him fall into silence.

It is naturally a lie to say that you don’t sigh. Although you have been in the game most of the years, after all, you have been on Earth for so many years. Suddenly you have to adapt to a brand new environment, and you still feel a lot of emotion in your heart.

It would be fine if they were not selected for Expedition One in the end. If they were really selected, it means that they would really set foot on Earth again in this life and they would not know when it was. It is extremely possible that they would never be able to stay away from Earth. Interstellar expeditions sounded very exciting, but if they were to think about it, they would always leave their familiar galaxies to explore a brand new and unknown environment.

The advantage is that you can never guess what you will encounter the next day, and the meaning of life will become completely different from staying on Earth. The disadvantage is that no one knows whether the next life will be sad or happy. Even if Expedition One encounters an accident as soon as it leaves the solar system, and all its members are destroyed, Xiao Yan will not have too many accidents.

In the vast universe, anything can be born. Who can predict it?

It just didn't leave too much sigh for everyone. After a slight vibration, the ladder had stopped running. At this time, you could see the grand occasion of the ladder station in Xingyao City.

Dozens of robots stood neatly in front of the ladder cabin and made all preparations, waiting to welcome everyone to leave the ladder station in an orderly manner. However, the most eye-catching thing is not these robots of the same type, but the Expedition One structural diagram on the virtual screen at the top of the hall.

The extremely detailed structural diagram slowly rotates above the hall, showing its unique charm to the people who have just climbed Xingyao City from all angles.

The entire hull is flat as it appeared in the game before. Even so, according to the proportions next to it, the flat hull is about 1 ooo meter from the top to the bottom.

The center of the upper and lower layers is a giant column. The countless corners extending from this column make the entire ship structure look particularly stable. The outermost periphery of the ship is a dense ship cabin and weapon system. The daunting black hole cannon is specially marked, just in the center of the upper layer.

Around the outer edge of the giant ship are a row of various muzzles that can open fire in all directions. According to the introduction in the picture, these muzzles that can point to any angle can effectively solve various problems encountered during space navigation. For example, when encountering meteorites, the firepower on the giant ship can completely blow up any giant meteorite that may cause damage to the hull, so that it will not exceed the range of the energy cover of the giant ship itself.

Most of the engine devices of the giant ship are concentrated in the middle and lower parts of the giant ship. According to the diagram, the entire giant ship has dozens of engine systems and has a very flexible steering. It is particularly important to note that there is no gravity device or life cycle maintenance device in the outer space of the giant ship. This outer space accommodates tens of thousands of engineering robots. Under the control of the ship-based computer, the giant ship itself, various weapon systems and engine systems are then maintained. There are no unexpected situations. Except for mecha warriors, humans do not need to move outside the giant ship.

The center part of the giant ship is the area of ​​human activity.

The design of the central part gives people the feeling of a ship among ships, and the fact is true. According to the illustration, in a crisis, the entire outer layer can be abandoned, and only the inner structure can support the spacecraft to navigate in the space. The independent engine system allows the inner ship to be used as an expeditionary ship. After all, the inner ship of Expedition One is about ten times that of the Yuan-class destroyer. Of course, if the foreign ship is really stripped away, the expeditionary ship will lose almost 80% of the weapon system, but the black hole cannon is still retained. This is understandable. With the character of the prince, the last means of self-protection will be left, and the expeditionary ship will not become a living target that anyone can bully.

There are ten floors in the inner ship.

The top and bottom layers are the mecha troops stationed, and the independent engines of the internal ships are concentrated in these two layers.

When the mecha troops are dispatched, the mecha soldiers wearing mechas can directly enter the outer layer of the giant ship through the channel connecting the outer layer, or take aboard the sixth ship, or directly enter space to fight.

The second and third floors are science laboratories and science warehouses, which are also places where scientists of ships live. Even during the long space voyage, various research will not stop. Especially after obtaining many alien samples, they will be sent here for various analysis. These two layers also store seeds of almost all plants on the earth and genetic maps of various animals. In addition to daily research, this place also undertakes the task of transforming a planet that may be suitable for human survival.

The fourth and fifth floors are agricultural bases on the giant ship. According to the illustrations in the virtual picture, Starry Sky Group has mastered space planting and animal husbandry technology. The farm products on these two floors will be converted into standard food-grade nutrition pills in space through processing plants set up on the fifth floor.

The sixth floor and the seventh floor are the main living areas of human beings. One hundred thousand non-combatants and ship officers live here when they have no missions. These two floors have an almost complete recyclable ecosystem. They also have hospitals, municipal expeditionary military governments and other institutions that can be imagined in daily life.

The eighth floor is the most important core position of the entire ship. The giant ship command center is the command center.

The command cabin, weapon center control center, monitoring center, small quantum brain, all commands are arranged from here. Although it is an internal ship, the various cameras on the outer deck and inside the giant ship can allow the monitoring center to observe all the situations inside and outside the giant ship simultaneously. It is worth mentioning that there is also a living room for communication with alien life that may be encountered. If you really encounter alien life, both parties will also contact this floor. However, this living room may seem a bit alternative and the middle is completely closed, which means that even if you communicate with alien life here, both parties will not have any direct contact.

Each layer is designed with an emergency escape capsule. A small life-sustaining system of the escape capsule can maintain life for three days and support emergency landing on other planets. Of course, for the vast space, this emergency escape capsule is not of great significance. Even if you don’t encounter other accidents, the possibility of being rescued in space for three days is infinitely close to zero. Even if you are lucky, you can be pulled by the gravity of a certain planet and fall onto a certain planet. The possibility that this planet can support human life is also close to zero.

But no matter what, this is also the pinnacle design of the cosmic voyage ship in human history. The moment I saw the detailed explanation of the structure of this giant ship, countless people could not take a single eye! (To be continued.)
