Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 121: Escape

With the change in thruster output power, the acceleration of the Hope dropped by two Gs. All of a sudden, everyone who was still awake on the Hope felt much more comfortable.

Of course, comfort is relative. In fact, it is still very uncomfortable, but it is better than before.

It is like putting a hand that has been soaked in 60-degree Celsius water into the water of 50 degrees Celsius next to it. It will definitely feel a little cooler, but in fact the water is still hot.

With the current human tolerance, the acceleration of 10 G should not cause death.

Yue Yuan now has some tinnitus and the condition of seeing stars has not been alleviated. He feels that the environment around him has become very irritating. Sometimes he can't even hear the system voice broadcast, but his eyes can still see the information displayed on the screen, proving that the Hope is accelerating at an acceleration of 10G.

Before he fainted, he took a hard look in the bridge and found that about one-third of the people were in a state of coma. However, Zhu Pitt on the right side was still staring with big eyes and gritting his teeth, and Man Yuemei on the other side was also, but the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth said it all.

Almost killed by the thruster he made.

Yue Yuan's heart was full of bitterness. He suddenly realized that human physical fitness did not seem to have reached the level of first-level civilization.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology has been realized, but humans do not have the biotechnology to match it.

In other words, controlled nuclear fusion technology proves that human wisdom has reached the level of first-level civilization, but the fragile body is still in its original state.

Such a split makes humans have controlled nuclear fusion technology, but cannot fully exert the strength that this technology should have.

Humans are still mortals after all.

After experiencing such an acceleration of life and death, humans should understand what the most urgent problem is to solve.

In less than half an hour, Yue Yuan felt longer than a century. During this process, he stared at the big screen without fainting.

Looking at the large piece of silver fog in the picture, watching it gradually enlarge from far to near until it filled the entire big screen, at this time, the Hope's external camera turned the picture into a panoramic picture.

At this moment, under the tail flames of the five fusion thrusters at the tail of the Hope, the entire screen was a screen of glittering silver light.

It was so close that the tail flames of the Hope thrusters were almost burning it.

In the bridge, it seemed that the entire Hope would be swallowed by the silver mist in the next moment, and Yue Yuan almost couldn't help but order to speed up again.

But the real-time monitoring data of the "Light of the Sky River" showed that this was the closest point of the silver mist to the Hope.

3,579 kilometers!

This distance seems very far, but in interstellar space, it is no different from being face-to-face. Fortunately, this value did not continue to decrease.

After more than 20 minutes of torture, humans finally increased the speed of the Hope to exceed that of the silver mist within a limited time.

After reaching 3,750 kilometers, the value representing the distance between the two sides turned to increase, and then became larger and larger.

"Finally, we got rid of it!"

Everyone felt like they had escaped.

At the moment when the distance was pulled away, the Hope finally stopped maintaining high G acceleration and adjusted the 10 Gs that had been maintained for almost half an hour to 4 Gs.

Acceleration is not speed. When the acceleration decreases, the Hope is still accelerating, but the acceleration is slower. So even if the Hope reduces the acceleration, its speed is still rising.

The acceleration has dropped, but the humans on the Hope still cannot relax. For safety reasons, the program needs to maintain 4G acceleration for about two hours. After leaving Silver Mist far enough, the Hope will reduce the acceleration again to 1G.

Under such low acceleration, people finally get up from the cushioned seats and start treating the injured people under high G acceleration.

When the personnel are fully recovered, the Hope will start the acceleration movement of 6G acceleration again.

After ten days of medical rescue, the people on the Hope finally recovered from various injuries.

During this period, the Hope has been receiving information from Silver Mist.

Yue Yuan also saw it. The content of the message started with angry shouting, then slowly turned into promising some technological benefits to humans, and finally turned into a clamor to kill humans.

This time Yue Yuan did not respond to Yin Wu, but kept this matter in mind. Sooner or later, humans will settle this account with Yin Wu.

The Hope dragged a long tail flame, and the speed increased rapidly again. It carried humans to bathe in the last glory of the Ross 154 star and slowly sailed towards the deep starry sky.

At this moment, the five fusion thrusters once again applied 6G acceleration to the Hope.

Before this, the speed of the Hope had been increased to 5% of the speed of light. Now, if it accelerates at 6G for 141 hours, it can reach the highest speed that nuclear fusion can reach, that is, 15% of the speed of light.

Because of the acceleration away, the wavelength of light moves to the red end, and the light of Ross 154 becomes redder.

From the effect of the Hope shooting, Ross 154 is like a red ball of light, like a lantern touched by a piece of pink gauze, and like the breath of neon in the red light district, very beautiful and enchanting.

But humans know that there is a man-eating beast hiding there. It is the residence of the devil and the place of nightmare that humans can never get rid of.

But at the same time, it is also the place where humans entered the first-level civilization after the technological regression.

The technological regression brought about by the catastrophe delayed the time for humans to enter the first-level civilization by a thousand years. If it were not for the solar disaster, humans should have successfully built the first fusion propulsion device for interstellar navigation in the Earth era.

Gradually, Ross 154 became smaller in the human eye, and then became an ordinary light spot in the starry sky, and finally it slowly disappeared from the human eye.

141 hours, almost six days. But the Hope cannot maintain 6G acceleration for six days, but needs to accelerate for half a day, and then enter the uniform speed stage to let people rest for half an hour to an hour, and then continue to accelerate after eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

So the actual time for the Hope to accelerate to 15% of the speed of light is longer than the theory.

Due to the fragility of human beings themselves, this navigation situation cannot be avoided at this stage.

"Where is the destination?" On this day, Yue Yuan came to the bridge leisurely. The Hope has reached the maximum speed, 15% of the speed of light, and is currently sailing quietly at a uniform speed against the background of stars.

Because there are no reference points around, the Hope, although dragging five long tail flames at the moment, seems like a spaceship quietly suspended in the void.

Happy holidays to everyone
