Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao were chatting while looking at the ground launch site.
At this time, there was movement at the ground launch site. The huge rocket was ignited. The rocket left the ground and its speed became faster and faster.
In just a short while, the rocket accelerated from a place not far away from the spacecraft to a higher orbit. As it flew by, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao, like others, came to join in the fun, wearing space suits and exoskeletons. The armor followed the fast-flying rocket from a distance.
There were a lot of people around, and these people were just here to watch the fun, and most of them were children.
As the altitude of the rocket gets higher and higher, when the altitude reaches 300 kilometers, only the module that docks with the International Space Station is left.
As the orbit got higher and higher, it finally reached the height of the International Space Station. The orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers, after a slight adjustment, began to dock with the space station.
At this time, not only those on the ground were worried, but also the people watching around were worried about a malfunction.
But the result was good. The docking was successful. Several astronauts successfully entered the space station. Everything went smoothly.
The people on the ground were satisfied, and so were the people watching.
After watching for a while, those who were watching the excitement left. Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao also left. However, they did not return to the spacecraft. Instead, they asked the spacecraft to follow them, and then they flew to the National Space Station.
Although the two of them were not very fast, it only took them a while to reach the National Space Station.
The current National Space Station has been regarded as an antique. In fact, the National Space Station has only completed the first phase of construction, and it is still brand new. After all, it only took a little more than a year to complete the first phase of construction.
It is quite embarrassing to say that the National Space Station was eliminated just a few days after the first phase of construction was completed and put into use. No, the National Space Station has become a cultural relic that bears witness to the post-information age, and everyone will come and take a look.
For example, right now, there are many people visiting the National Space Station.
Of course, you could go inside the National Space Station in the past, but because there were so many people visiting, you could only look outside.
Su Zhe looked at the robotic arm on the National Space Station and sighed: "It feels like the National Space Station is already very far away from us, but the reality is that it is only two years away from us, which can only be said to be more than a year. Our development speed is too fast.”
Ning Qiaoqiao nodded and said: "Yes, the speed of development is too fast. Now we can build human survival places in space at will. We have also completely got rid of stars. Without your contribution, I guess we would still be here today." We are in the information age, of course. At that time, we were already comprehensively transcending. I thought it would take many years to enter the space age. As for the interstellar age, I had no hope. I could have imagined that due to your contribution, our development It will enter the interstellar era so quickly."
Su Zhe smiled and said, "Actually, even without me, we will still develop. At most, it will take a little longer. After all, our hard power is there."
"You can't say that. In fact, there are a lot of variables, such as the asteroid that hit the earth. If we hadn't deployed the SS-defense system, we still don't know what the earth would have become. So, your It’s a great contribution,” Ning Qiaoqiao said.
Su Zhe smiled, the two entered the spacecraft, and the spacecraft began to fly toward a higher orbit.
After a while, the spacecraft arrived in the earth's synchronous orbit, which is directly above the Tamu Desert and the location of the space home port.
The space homeport is still there, but it is not in operation now and is simply placed in orbit.
Speaking of which, the space homeport was shut down only after the realization of cold nuclear fusion technology and thermonuclear fusion technology.
The space homeport has two main functions. One is an energy transfer station, which transmits the collected solar energy to the surface, and the other is to build a beam channel.
There are not many beam channels left now. The ones left are for people to visit, and the others are of no use.
The two of them walked around the space homeport, talking about the country's
The domestic space station was still in use for a long time, but the space home port was decommissioned after less than a year.
The reason for this is that, in the final analysis, science and technology are developing too fast, and the result is that the iteration speed of equipment is too fast.
Ning Qiaoqiao stood on the deck of the space homeport and said with emotion: "It took us a long time to build the space homeport, and it was very troublesome. But now, if we build such a space homeport, it should not be too easy."
"Of course, there is no comparison between what the level is now and what the level was in the past. At that time, the energy storage was not good, and the engine was not good either. But now, it is all possible, so naturally it is easier." Su Zhe said with a smile. .
When building the space homeport, it was very troublesome. I tried to find a way to make it happen, but now it is better.
With that said, the two flew towards the space farm in the same synchronous orbit. In the past, there were many assembly activities in the synchronous orbit, but now they have been moved, either to the industrial area in orbit around the earth, or It was transferred to Mars, and finally transferred to the industrial area around the solar system.
However, there is still a lot of equipment in synchronous orbit, some of which are laboratories and some of which are facilities such as space farms.
Soon, the spacecraft arrived near the space farm, and the two left the spacecraft and flew towards the space farm.
This space farm was among the first to be built, and Su Zhe had visited it.
When the two were approaching the space farm, the entrance to the space farm had already opened.
Various crops are grown in the space farm. As long as they are edible, they are available here, and they are all grown whole.
Coincidentally, the two happened to be harvesting rice, which was completely automated.
An area of 100,000 acres was planted from harvesting to rice, and it took a total of half an hour.
Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "With these, how can we humans not have food? As long as resources and energy are sufficient, we will be able to have an endless supply of food. I also know that the space farm I visited is only the first generation. Now the latest space farms can use a larger area, and the energy they consume is provided by proton nuclear fusion devices. This is a real space farm."
The first-generation space farm required continuous external energy supply, but the current one does not need it. Its energy is produced and used by itself.
The former relies on the stars, while the latter relies on itself.
"Of course, but even if there is no space farm now, we humans will not be hungry. After all, now we can synthesize food, and all kinds of food can be synthesized. As long as there are resources and energy, we can continuously synthesize food. As long as we don't , no matter how many humans there are, there will never be a shortage of food to eat." Su Zhe explained.
After energy freedom is achieved, it will be very difficult for humans to go hungry again.
In addition to using traditional methods of planting and breeding to obtain food, it can also be synthesized. Speaking of which, all current foods can be synthesized.
It's just that now everyone generally doesn't believe in synthetic foods, so they haven't been promoted on a large scale, but they can still be used for emergencies and as backup.
Synthetic foods today are not the synthetic foods of the past.
Take synthetic meat as an example. In the past, synthetic meat was also synthesized from food, such as protein, sugar, fat, etc., which were basically obtained from other foods.
But today's synthetic food is not like that. The raw materials for its synthesis are the most basic substances, or inorganic substances, such as carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, etc.
There is a difference between the two.
This is why it is said that as long as resources and energy are sufficient, a large amount of food can be synthesized quickly.
Just because of the support of synthetic food, there is no need to worry about the increase in the human population. No matter what, there will still be enough to eat.
If there is not even a bite to eat, it is not a technical problem, nor a problem of availability, but a human problem.
Ning Qiaoqiao nodded and said: "Speaking of which, there is a difference between synthetic food and food obtained through traditional methods. Although they can be the same at the atomic level, there are still differences. For example, a grain of rice is obtained through traditional methods. A grain of rice is alive, but a grain of rice that can be synthesized is not
Life, as for the impact on food consumption, judging from the current research, there is no difference, but it is still difficult for everyone to generally accept it. Maybe our next generation will be more accepting. Of course, right now, we are completely Food can be obtained through synthesis, and synthetic food is only used as a backup. "
The reality is this. Even if the synthetic food is no different from traditional food, people generally don't accept it, and there are conditions where they don't accept it.
"Speaking of which, it is a matter of the nature of life. If the rice we synthesize can sprout, it means that we have cracked the code of life. We can directly synthesize living things, but as of now, it is very difficult." Su Zhe Seriously.
Now even the simplest viruses cannot be synthesized, let alone plants.
If it were realized, that would be awesome.
Synthetic organisms! That would be an exaggeration to be able to synthesize living things through all their information.
At this time, it will be possible for humans to achieve physical immortality.
After leaving the space farm, the two visited the space ranch and the space fishery in turn. Like the space farm, they were fully intelligent and automated, and they were becoming more and more mature compared to the beginning.
Finally, the two came to Ecosystem No. 1.
Speaking of which, Ecosystem No. 1 is now a place for everyone to play. It is no longer used for scientific research, but has been transformed into a place for entertainment and leisure.
You know, now on Earth, strict regulations have been made for the protection of the natural world. In addition to human activity areas, a large part of it is classified as a nature reserve. It is okay to visit and have fun, but you are not allowed to cause damage, fish or hunt. Something like that is strictly prohibited.
This is also the reason why the earth's flora and fauna have increased rapidly in such a short period of time.
As of now, almost all human food, industrial supplies, and industrial supplies on Earth are manufactured outside the Earth, and a large part of the food comes from space farms outside the Earth.
In other words, the food that humans need does not actually depend on the output of the earth.
Speaking of which, a large part of domestic food is produced and sold by itself. With home robots, farming will not be delayed. On the contrary, foreign countries basically rely on external supplies.
In this way, a large area of land was freed up, and naturally there were more animals and plants.
Just because the earth cannot be played happily, especially those who fish, no matter whether it is rivers, lakes, oceans or small ponds, fishing is no longer allowed.
If such strict regulations are enforceable, there will naturally be more people protesting.
No, some people thought of the No. 1 Ecosystem. Anyway, the No. 1 Ecosystem has completed its mission and will only be dismantled in the end.
Many people have jointly proposed to transform Ecosystem No. 1 into a place for entertainment and leisure.
The relevant departments were also very capable, so they agreed, and Ecosystem No. 1 was transformed into a place for entertainment and leisure in a very short period of time. The most prominent one is fishing. It is simply a paradise for fishing enthusiasts.
To put it simply, the current No. 1 ecological circle has been built into an entertainment and leisure ecological park.
Entering Ecosystem No. 1, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao each received a set of fishing equipment. They chose the edge of a lake. The area of this lake was not small, covering thirty square kilometers. The fishermen That's more.
Neither of them know much about it, it doesn't matter, there are specialized robots to help.
With the help of the robot, the nest was made and the two started fishing.
The two of them are not very interested in fishing. They just came to try it out and experience what it's like to be a fisherman.
Speaking of which, this fishing process is really difficult to replicate in the virtual universe.
You know, everything in the virtual universe is data. Whether you can catch fish or not can be set up. Of course, it doesn't mean you can't do it, but it just means you can't feel it in reality.
Fishing in the virtual universe, no matter what it is, everyone knows it is fake. If a person does not know, it is okay. If he knows, it will be completely different, and it can still be controlled. Even if it is random, it is not real.
random.
But the real world is different. It is really random, and everything is not preset. Whether you can catch fish is affected by many factors, and the feeling is even more different.
Soon, a fish took the bait.
When Ning Qiaoqiao saw the movement, he immediately raised the fishing rod. The fishing rod immediately turned into a large arc. It was obvious that a big fish had been caught.
Seeing that Ning Qiaoqiao couldn't pull it, Su Zhe quickly took the fishing rod from Ning Qiaoqiao's hand. Now that Ning Qiaoqiao was pregnant, she couldn't make any big moves.
Ning Qiaoqiao shouted excitedly from the side, while Su Zhe pulled the fishing rod.
Su Zhe had little experience in fishing, so he took the fishing rod and pulled it with all his strength. After a moment of stalemate, the line broke and Su Zhe was thrown to the ground.
At this moment, both of them felt pity. Su Zhe really wanted to go into the water to catch the fish. Of course, just thinking about it, although it was easy to catch the fish, he couldn't do it.
While Su Zhe was wrestling, the fishermen around him were happy and disbelieving. They all taught Su Zhe their experiences, how to walk the fish, what rhythm to use, different methods for different fish, etc. wait.
