At this time, only Gut and Mary Elsie were here in the freezing laboratory of Jiangnan Research Institute, and they had a lot to say between them. Liu Xin and Chen Ke saw that Marielsie and Gut had a lot to talk about, so they turned around and left the cryogenic laboratory and went directly back to the rehabilitation center.
"Gut, do you really love me?" Mary Elsie looked into Dr. Gut's eyes and asked.
"Why do you ask such a strange question? Of course I love you very much. Can't you feel it?" Dr. Gut stretched out his nanomaterial arm and held Mary Elsie in his arms.
"Since you love me, why can't you let me live and die with you and go to Proxima b together? You left me alone on the earth. Can my heart bear it? This may be forever Separation, have you ever thought about how I feel? This separation is more cruel than facing death, and it makes my heart unbearable." Mary Elsie lay on Dr. Gut's shoulder and kept sobbing.
"Dear, the reason why I left you on earth is that from a personal emotional point of view, I don't want you to face death and danger with me. From a scientific research point of view, Professor Chi Ensheng stays with you. Being on Earth is the guarantee for the continuation of our scientific research project. It is impossible for all members of our scientific research team to face danger at the same time. If a major mistake occurs, our scientific research will not be able to continue. You stay on Earth Wait for me, I will definitely come back." Dr. Gut's nanorobot body possesses human intelligence and consciousness, and is rich in emotions, which is completely different from ordinary robots.
"Gut doesn't know when you can return to Earth smoothly. Maybe I will be gone on the day you return to Earth. Or I have become an old lady who is over sixty years old. Will you still love me? I really want to be together. I will go on this long journey with you, and we will be together whether we live or die." Mary Elsie blinked her big tear-filled eyes and looked at Gut.
"My dear, our time machine will be successfully developed soon. When I return to Earth, we will board the time machine together and go back to the good old days. No matter what changes happen in the future, I will always I love you." Dr. Gut's hoarse robot voice sounded again in the freezing laboratory, and the room was filled with warmth.
"Ahem~ Young people are different. You still have energy to flirt at this time. The arrival of this old man didn't bother you, did it?" Professor Chi Ensheng walked gently into the cryogenic laboratory.
"Teacher, I am talking about some work matters with Mary Elsie. We are not talking about personal matters. Professor, you misunderstood." Dr. Gut explained to the professor.
At this time, Mary Elsie quickly hid behind Dr. Gut and was trying hard to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Haha~ha, don't lie to me old man, I came here when I was young. When my wife was alive, I didn't feel anything. When I lost her, I didn't realize how much she meant to me in my world. It's important. Once the person you love most is lost in this world, there will never be a chance to be together again, and it will be a lifetime of pain. I can understand how you feel about each other at this time, but as members of the Alliance of Universe Explorers, we Scientific researchers must give up their own interests for a glorious cause. Mary Elsie, you are a strong girl, I hope you can understand and support Gut's choice." The professor looked at the two of them and their expressions became more and more serious.
Mary Elsie endured the pain in her heart, walked out gently from behind Dr. Gut, and asked: "Professor, do you think the Qilong spacecraft will return to Earth smoothly? Gut, Long Xiang, Can Long Yu and Liu Sen really come back? How long do we have to wait? When the spacecraft passes through the wormhole, will it stay near the black hole and float forever? Or will it be directly squeezed into countless fragments by the gravity of the black hole? What? I really don’t dare to think about it.”
"Mary Elsie, if we want to leap from the first-class human civilization to the second-class civilization, we must make some sacrifices. Now we are going to the stars beyond the distant solar system, which is to solve the problems of the remaining nations on the earth. doctrine, fundamentalism, racial and sectarian contradictions. In the distant outer space, we will find a habitable zone suitable for human habitation, paving the way for the future development of interstellar travel. In the future, we may Using technological means, a small planet will be built near other stars. For example, a planet that is even larger than our earth can be disintegrated, and then its mass can be redistributed so that it is at a reasonable distance from a certain star. Within the orbit, we will continue to build planets suitable for human survival on Earth. By then, our spacecraft will be equipped with matter or antimatter thrusters, which will increase the speed of our spacecraft to the speed of light. Our communications will emit signals from radio, and Turn into lasers or other more ways to emit signals. When our human civilization exhausts the energy of stars, we will learn to extract energy from the dark matter of the universe, and that will be the beginning of a new human civilization. I think The Qilong spacecraft will definitely return to Earth smoothly, and we look forward to their good news." Professor Chi Ensheng, although he is older, is full of longing for the aerospace career of the Alliance of Space Explorers.
A few days later, on October 8, in the waiting cabin of the Jiangnan Institute of Science and Technology in Pujiang City, China, the "Qilong" spacecraft stood proudly like an ancient god of war. It will enter space through the Bermuda wormhole and point directly at Proxima Centauri b. Service personnel on the ground have refilled it with nuclear magnetic fuel. Marshal Yun Fei, General Yang Gang, General Yu Kai, Director Qin Yu, Dr. Davis, Professor Chi Ensheng, Professor Xu Bozhong, and all the staff are already busy. Gute, Long Xiang, Long Yu, and Liu Sen put on space suits and entered the Qilong spacecraft. A great historical moment has arrived, and they are about to embark on a journey to land on Proxima b. They said goodbye to everyone who came to see them off. This was the most distant journey that humans on earth have ever made. They will establish new milestones for human spaceflight.
Ground personnel carefully inspected the Qilong spacecraft, and all data showed that everything was normal. 6:30. As the command center issued the order for Marshal Yunfei's spacecraft to take off, the Qilong spacecraft made a rumbling sound. The entire Jiangnan Research Institute began to shake, and the spacecraft slowly rose and accelerated. The four astronauts in the spacecraft were in their respective positions, observing the readings of various instruments. At this time, they are under tremendous physical and psychological pressure because the take-off of the spacecraft will cause hypergravity. Three minutes later, the spacecraft entered the predetermined orbit. The spacecraft was 2,800 kilometers above the ground and flying at sub-light speed. The spacecraft first flew around the earth to observe whether its various data were normal and whether it could pass through the wormhole. Based on various data fed back by the spacecraft, the Aerospace Command Center of the Jiangnan Research Institute issued an order to the spacecraft to pass through the wormhole. After receiving the order, the spacecraft quickly rushed to the Bermuda area.
At this time, the sea in the Bermuda area was rough. Due to tidal forces and strong magnetic forces, communication facilities in Bermuda have almost completely failed. The Qilong spacecraft used a gravity cannon to quickly exert gravity on the sea surface in the Bermuda area. After a few minutes, a bright spot appeared on the sea surface in the Bermuda area, and it grew larger and larger, eventually forming a huge tunnel space. The Qilong spacecraft quickly disappeared into it like a sharp arrow shot out. During the spacecraft's journey through the wormhole, the astronauts saw vivid scenes of the Yellow River and Yangtze River civilization, Mesopotamia civilization, ancient Egyptian civilization, Cretan civilization, Mycenaean civilization, ancient Indian civilization, and Olmec civilization. The picture is like a historical documentary. After a few hours of waiting, a beautiful planet can be seen from the spacecraft. This planet is very similar to the earth. It is Proxima Centauri. The spacecraft began to slow down and fly. It won't take long for Gute, Long Xiang, Long Yu and Liu Sen to land on Proxima Centauri b. The four astronauts worked nervously, quickly adjusting various data on the spacecraft. Once the computer fails, they will resort to manual emergency landing. Everything was fine. Apart from a small glitch, the computer was still sending login commands normally. When the speed of the spacecraft slowed down to a certain speed, the computer issued a normal cease-fire command, and the Chiron spacecraft landed steadily on Proxima b.
The astronauts Gute, Long Xiang, Long Yu and Liu Sen who landed on Proxima Centauri b happily reported to the Jiangnan Research Institute Ground Command Center: "Jiangnan Research Institute Ground Command Center, the Qilong spacecraft has landed successfully."
"Congratulations on your successful landing, quickly starting to establish a space base on Proxima b. And quickly transmitting various data from Proxima b back to the command center of the Alliance of Space Explorers." Jiangnan Research Institute replied.
The ground command center of the Jiangnan Research Institute was in a state of excitement, congratulating the Qilong spacecraft for its successful landing.
At 12:26 on October 8, the hatch of the Qilong spacecraft opened. 13:11. Gut, Long Xiang, Long Yu and Liu Sen stepped off the spacecraft and boarded Proxima b.
This planet has a mass 1.3 times that of the Earth. It only takes 11.2 days to orbit Alpha Centauri. Its surface receives 65% of the radiation that the Earth does. This planet has an atmosphere and liquid water. Only half of the planet of Proxima Centauri b always faces the red dwarf star, and the other half of the planet is always in darkness. In this way, the twilight zone on Proxima Centauri b becomes the most suitable area for human habitation, with suitable light and temperature. , the vegetation is very dense, and there are some small animals that cannot be seen on earth. At the same time, there is a certain geomagnetic field on Proxima Centauri b. When the high-speed charged particle flow hits Proxima Centauri b, the geomagnetic field can effectively block most of the high-speed charged particle flow.
The Alliance of Space Explorers' Chiron spacecraft successfully landed on Proxima b, which not only established a new milestone for human aerospace, but also successfully opened the door for humans to communicate with higher-level life in the universe. What dangers will humans face in the process of contacting higher-level beings in the universe? Will there be new opportunities in the process of human exploration of space? Human beings have countless fantastic ideas about the parallel universe. What kind of blueprint will it eventually draw? Humanity successfully landed on Proxima b, opening a new chapter for peaceful development and exploration of the universe.
