Chapter 1780: Life in space (1/2)

, The fastest update of the latest chapter of God-level Farm!

The men sent to the moon by several sects this time are all elites of their respective sects. The psychological quality of these people is no worse than those of the astronauts, so even though they are in the deep space, everyone does not feel too nervous. .

In the state of weightlessness, there is no distinction between upper and lower. Chen Xuan is at the door of the cockpit at this time. The angle between his body and Xia Ruofeiling Qingxue is exactly perpendicular. He glanced at Xia Ruofei from the door. He smiled and said: ”Everyone can't wait any longer, let's set off now!”

”Go!” Xia Ruofei said with a smile, ”Sit down, everyone!”

While speaking, Xia Ruofei's mental power had been explored, remotely controlling the Obsidian Flying Boat, leaving the 400-kilometer orbit, and continuing to fly towards a higher orbit.

The Obsidian flying boat started, and the five towing ropes connecting the dragon spacecraft combination slowly stretched straight.

Xia Ruofei and others inside the spacecraft felt the spacecraft tremble slightly, and then the spacecraft began to shift to a higher orbit under the towing of the obsidian flying boat.

Under Xia Ruofei's intentional control of the Obsidian Flying Boat, the acceleration process was relatively smooth, so the force on the towing rope was actually not large.

In the process of exploring the moon in human history, whether it is manned or unmanned exploration, the process of going to the moon is basically the same, that is, the orbit change of the aircraft orbiting the earth makes the orbit of the orbit more The higher you come, the larger the circle around it, and it will eventually enter the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. Then it will slow down and enter the moon's orbit.

The process of the Obsidian Flying Boat to the moon is similar, but because the gravity of the Earth has no effect on the Obsidian Flying Boat, the process of raising the orbital height is faster and the curve naturally becomes steeper.

Of course, in terms of time, the time it takes for the Obsidian flying boat to travel to the moon can be longer than any lunar exploration in human history.

The reason is also very simple, just two word speed.

The use of rockets to send probes or astronauts to the moon is an accelerating process. The Apollo 11 manned mission to the moon, in order to enter the low-Earth orbit, the rocket has already accelerated to 7.67 kilometers per second and entered the ground. When the moon shifted orbit, the speed reached 10.5 kilometers per second. So Apollo 11 took three or four days to send the astronauts to Earth.

Although the flying speed of the Obsidian flying boat is much faster than that of ordinary civil aviation aircraft, it is still quite a bit worse than the high-thrust rocket. Its advantage is that the formation has already offset the influence of gravity, so it does not need extremely fast speed to get rid of the gravity of the earth, and it can even fly directly to the moon at a uniform speed.

But in any case, the straight-line distance of about 300,000 kilometers still has to be flew past, so the time will naturally be longer.

After the Obsidian flying boat was launched, all the members of the expedition team in the dragon ship had to wait patiently.

Everyone has nothing to do in the cabin. Many people choose to fix themselves on the bulkhead and then take out the spirit crystals to practice.

Although Xia Ruofei needed to control the Obsidian Flying Boat, most of the time he only needed a trace of mental power to monitor the flight status, because the Obsidian Flying Boat only needed to keep flying away from the earth at a constant speed.

In fact, starting from the 400-kilometer orbit, the Obsidian Flying Boat will take more than ten days to fly at the current speed to reach the traditional Earth-Moon transfer orbit, which is about 60 to 70 thousand kilometers away from the moon. In traditional spaceflight, the farther away from the earth, the less the effect of the earth’s gravitational force, and the moon’s gravitational force dominates when it is about sixty-seven thousand kilometers away from the moon, so that the aircraft will be captured by the moon’s gravity and become orbited. The moon flies, and then constantly passes through adjustments, and finally orbits the moon steadily, preparing for the next moon landing.

The formation of the Obsidian Flying Boat ensures that the flying boat will not be affected by gravity, so the process to the moon is not that complicated, but the route is basically the same.

In other words, in these ten days, the Obsidian flying boat will tow the dragon spacecraft combination and fly more than 200,000 kilometers.

This process is of course very boring.

And there is nothing in space, and there is no need to choose a flight path, so it is very simple in control.

Xia Ruofei only needs to keep the Obsidian flying boat at this speed after it has accelerated to its limit speed. It is a bit similar to the ”fixed speed cruise” of a car, and even simpler, because even the steering wheel does not need to be controlled.

Of course, for safety reasons, it is still necessary to monitor the flight status throughout.

In fact, although the Dragon spacecraft has been reduced a lot, the technology is still very advanced. After studying and practicing some time ago, everyone is very familiar with the basic control of the spacecraft, so everyone has arranged the watch in advance. When the time comes, two people will take turns in the cockpit to monitor the flight status.

And Xia Ruofei still needs to take into account the situation of the Obsidian Flying Boat, he must always separate a little bit of mental power.

Of course, for the current Xia Ruofei, this will not be very tiring, he can even be distracted to do other things.

In the initial stage of the flight, considering that the distance to the earth is relatively close, and there are various satellites, space stations, and experimental modules of various countries in the orbit, the situation is relatively more complicated than the latter, so Xia Ruofei decided to be on duty on the first day and partner with him. Naturally, Ling Qingxue.

The spacecraft was very quiet. Everyone in the cabin behind them was practicing. In the cockpit, there was only the dim light of the display screen and the dull sound from the cooling fan.

Xia Ruofei said to Ling Qingxue: ”Qingxue, you can sleep for a while! Or you can just practice for a while, it's too boring to stay here!”

Ling Qingxue had been leaning sideways in front of the oval porthole of the spacecraft. When she heard Xia Ruofei's words, she did not get up and said without looking back: ”I don't want to sleep yet! The scenery outside is so beautiful!”

Xia Ruofei turned his head and looked outside the porthole. They could see the huge outline of the earth from this angle.

The azure earth is like a gem, although the full picture of the earth is not visible yet, it gives people a stronger sense of shock.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, ”Let's take a break! What you will see in the next ten days will be the same scenery, no matter how beautiful it is, it will quickly cause aesthetic fatigue!”

”I know!” Ling Qingxue said, ”but I just can't help but want to see it!”

Then, Ling Qingxue said with emotion: ”I used to dream and never thought that one day I would go into space and look back at the homeland that nurtured mankind... If Fei, after meeting you, my life is so wonderful. ...”

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: ”The most exciting thing will always be in the future! Where is this?”

After speaking, Xia Ruofei stretched out and said, ”Qingxue, then I will squint for a while. Call me if anything happens!”

”Well! Go to sleep!” Ling Qingxue said.

Xia Ruofei put his hands in his pockets and closed his eyes just like that.

In this weightless environment, the sleeping posture is not important, even if it is upside down.
