The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Early the next morning, accompanied by An Haoyan, Pang Xuelin went to the Gravitational Wave Research Institute to observe the first test of the gravitational wave antenna.

Compared with a few months ago, today's gravitational wave antenna is not only completely new, but also greatly increased in size.

The length has increased from the original 1,000 meters to 1,500 meters, and the diameter has also increased from the original 50 meters to more than 70 meters.

Its surface has also changed from the original white flying blade material to a smooth mirror material, half reflecting the sky and half reflecting the earth.

"There is a two-dimensional string encapsulated inside. By flicking this string, gravitational fluctuations can be continuously sent to outer space. However, this fluctuation has not been modulated, and it is no different from the gravitational waves emitted by supernova explosions, neutron stars or black holes. So don't worry about fluctuations like this giving away our place in the universe."

An Haoyan introduced.

Pang Xuelin nodded and asked curiously, "Can this wave and the gravitational fluctuations of the earth itself cancel each other out?"

An Haoyan smiled and said, "Of course, Professor Pang, you can see it later when the antenna is activated."

The effect of the gravitational wave antenna is exactly as An Haoyan said.

At ten o'clock in the morning, following the order of the commander-in-chief on site, the gravitational wave antenna was activated.

A kind of fluctuation that is difficult for ordinary people to detect is centered on the gravitational wave antenna and spreads to the surroundings at the speed of light.

In an instant, the base supporting the gravitational wave antenna shook slightly, and then, the gravitational wave antenna, which weighed tens of thousands of tons, floated soundlessly.

I saw it rising slowly, and finally stopped two meters above the ground.

Pang Xuelin was a little surprised.

This anti-gravity effect can only appear in science fiction films.

The only regret is that in this world, An Haoyan and the others control the emission of gravitational waves through macroatomic strings, but macroatoms do not exist in the real world. Therefore, it may be difficult for Pang Xuelin to use this technology in the world. replicated in the real world.

An Hao said, "If we want, the antenna can be lifted directly into outer space and become a satellite of the earth."

Pang Xuelin asked curiously, "What will happen if this technology is used for space launch?"

An Haoyan said with a smile, "If a hundred years ago, this technology would be enough to change the entire spaceflight pattern of mankind. But now, our space industry has already formed a large scale, but the interior of the earth is carrying out the task of de-industrialization step by step. In addition to the The atmospheric environment and gravitational environment are complex, and many emerging industries have more development potential in space, so this technology can only be applied to some low-Earth orbit missions. Moreover, this technology has not yet fully matured. If you want to It is estimated that it will take at least ten years for it to spread on a large scale."

Pang Xuelin nodded, his eyes still focused on the gravitational wave antenna.

He found that as the gravitational wave antenna was activated, a slight anomaly began to appear in the surrounding sky.

The clouds originally distributed around began to gather around the gravitational wave antenna as the center,

The result is a disk cloud several kilometers in diameter.

At some point, the sky began to rain lightly.

Pang Xuelin knew that this was due to the special effect of gravitational waves in the atmosphere, which caused water vapor to gather above the gravitational wave antenna.

Soon, as the data of various indicators came in one after another, there was a burst of warm cheers from the scene.

The first test of the gravitational wave antenna was a complete success.

An Haoyan said with a smile, "Professor Pang, the result is even more perfect than expected. As long as there are two or three more tests like this, the antenna will basically be fine."

Pang Xuelin asked again, "How is the signal modulation system doing now?"

An Hao said, "The development is being accelerated, and it is expected to be completed within half a month."

An Haoyan was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Professor Pang, what kind of information do you want to manufacture this gravitational wave emission system?"

Pang Xuelin said lightly, "You don't need to worry about this, I will send someone over to receive it at that time."

"good"

Seeing that Pang Xuelin didn't intend to explain, An Haoyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

For the next half month, Pang Xuelin spent most of his time at the Gravitational Wave Institute, participating in the construction of the launch control system.

After confirming that the entire launch system is safe and reliable, he will input the relevant coordinate information into the computer system of the gravitational wave launch system.

This system is directly controlled by oss, except for Pang Xuelin's order, no one can send dangerous information to outer space through this control system.

Crisis era October 12, 205.

Pang Xuelin and Zhuang Yan set off from the earth and boarded the spaceship to Mars.

They will meet with the Fifth Fleet on Mars, and then go to the orbit of Saturn, where they will meet with the Solar System Fleet and wait for the arrival of the Trisolaran probe.

Originally, Pang Xuelin planned to send Zhuang Yan to the asteroid belt to join Cheng Xin and the others.

But Zhuang Yan seemed to realize something, and she was unwilling to separate from Pang Xuelin no matter what.

Pang Xuelin had no choice but to set off with her.

At this time, in the bridge of the Fifth Fleet flagship "Natural Selection", following the order of the fleet commander Xu Shaomin, above the Mars synchronous orbit, the tails of 500 star-class spaceships burst into light like the sun, illuminating the sky instantly. The dark night sky on the backlit side of Mars.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Natural Selection, one star-class spaceship left the berth one after another.

"Sir, it is estimated that it will take 92 hours and 45 minutes for the fleet to reach the Saturn orbital position. Ten minutes later, the fleet will enter the state of deep-sea flight. The estimated duration of the deep-sea flight is 6 hours, 20 minutes, and 24 seconds."

Dongfang, the captain of the Natural Selection, continued to salute the fleet commander Xu Shaomin.

Xu Shaomin turned his gaze to Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin said, "Let the whole ship enter the deep sea state."

"yes"

Xu Shaomin saluted Pang Xuelin, and then continued to Dongfang, "From now on, the commander's order is my order."

"clear"

Dongfang Continued was slightly taken aback, although he didn't know why Xu Shaomin trusted the former Wallfacer so much, but Xu Shaomin had a high prestige in the fleet, so naturally she would not disobey Xu Shaomin's military order

"The whole ship enters the deep sea state"

Soon, each cabin became transparent.

Immediately afterwards, the deep-sea acceleration fluid began to appear silently in the cabin. This liquid appeared as a sphere in a weightless state and slowly filled the entire cabin.

This is a breathable liquid used to protect the crew's body when the spacecraft is accelerating or maneuvering.

Otherwise, under the acceleration of hundreds of g, no matter who it is, it will only be spread into a pancake by the acceleration.
