Chapter 43: Departure From Mars (2)

Although the "basin" engine was mostly vaporized, its mission had been completed. It successfully lifted the spacecraft. Nuclear fusion, this divine power that originated from the sun, is also the power of human rebirth! The acceleration of the Noah spacecraft at this moment even reached 1500 meters per second squared!

What does this data mean? It is 150 times the acceleration of gravity on the earth! In other words, a 50-kilogram person will be subjected to a force of 75,000 Newtons in an instant, and such a force will directly crush a person into a meat pie!

A large number of instruments and facilities in the observation room could not withstand such a force and were directly damaged. Fortunately, due to the peculiar structure of this spacecraft, the people inside could not feel the effect of any force, and of course they would not be crushed into a meat pie.

Drops of cold sweat came out from Yu Yifeng's forehead, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or excitement. He knew in his heart that the matter was not over yet! The power of nuclear propulsion continued, and the spacecraft was still accelerating.

The mushroom cloud of the nuclear bomb explosion looks a bit slender and not grand because of the "basin-type" engine, but its power is extremely strong. The huge force it generates lifts the spacecraft up in just a moment.

The spacecraft looks like it is being pushed up by the head of the mushroom cloud, flying faster and higher, until thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters... Finally, after a period of time, the acceleration of the spacecraft began to slow down.

"I order all teams to check the operation of the spacecraft!" Yu Yifeng commanded calmly. The plan is not over yet. This is the most critical moment. As the supreme commander, he must give people a stable and reliable image, although his heart is not very calm.

"Report to the captain, the damage of the external engine is 85.76%, which is basically in line with expectations, and the third-stage engine has also been damaged."

"The right wing observation room is damaged and is under emergency repair."

"The external material of Laboratory No. 2 has fallen off! Repairs are being made!"

"Laboratory No. 7 was burned down, and one of the steel pipes was broken, which may cause air leakage. Repairs are being made!"

"The spacecraft speed is currently 16.56 km/s...19.44...23.66...27.96...The acceleration is gradually decreasing!"

"Report to the captain! The deviation of the spacecraft direction: 12.36%, which is less than expected, and urgent adjustments are required!"

A large amount of information was summarized in Yu Yifeng's hands, some important, some minor, and some still need to be handled urgently. One by one, the instructions were sent in an orderly manner and delivered to the hands of various staff members.

The escape velocity of the moon is about 2.4km/s. The speed of the spacecraft is now much greater than this number. It can be said that breaking away from the moon is an inevitable event, but it cannot be taken lightly.

"I order to strip the outer engine"

"Captain orders to strip the outer engine!"

With an order, the "basin" engine finally completed its intended purpose and separated from the spacecraft. It had long been in tatters under the destruction of the nuclear explosion. But it also followed the spacecraft and gained a relatively high speed, which was completely able to break free from the gravity of the moon and become a wandering part of the solar system.

Perhaps, after tens of millions of years, it will be captured by a planet and become a pile of space junk flying in the sky. Perhaps, it will exist like a wandering comet.

"I order to start the small nuclear bomb direction adjustment plan and adjust the deviation."

"Captain orders to start the small nuclear bomb direction adjustment plan... three, two, one, small nuclear bomb launch!"

Bursts of strong light flashed behind the spacecraft. This was a nuclear explosion caused by a small nuclear bomb, but the scale was much smaller than a billion-ton nuclear bomb. The original first plasma disk propulsion scheme is now used to adjust the flight direction.

"Report to the captain, the direction of the spacecraft has been adjusted. The current direction deviation is 0.83%. The speed of the spacecraft is 28.66km/s. Please give instructions!"

"I order to start the Alpha rocket direction adjustment plan!"

"Captain orders, the Alpha rocket direction adjustment plan is started..."

The machine roared, and four rockets with a diameter of 10 meters stretched out from the four sides of the spacecraft, spraying flames and airflows, and began to accurately adjust the direction of the spacecraft.

In aerospace engineering, a slight error can lead to a thousand miles of error. Maybe the deviation of one ten-thousandth now will be magnified tens of millions or hundreds of millions of times at that time, so this kind of fine adjustment cannot be done with nuclear bombs, but with rockets.

"Report, Alpha rocket is running successfully! The current speed of the spacecraft is 28.68km/s, and it is expected to reach Mars in 93 days!"

Yu Yifeng was stunned, and suddenly he was stunned. What is the next step?

It seems... there are no other plans? All the plans have been completed?

Yes, all the plans have been completed, and humans have succeeded!

Success! Success! A kind of ecstasy leaped out from the depths of his heart. Yu Yifeng suddenly felt exhausted and collapsed on his seat. Six months of life and death, six months of hard work, just for these short 10 minutes, success, finally success!

But he still struggled to stand up and shouted loudly: "Comrades, I declare that the Noah Project is a success!"

After saying that, he fell asleep. He was really too tired in the past six months. Now his tense nerves were sent down all at once, and he couldn't resist it at all.

With this announcement, the entire spacecraft instantly boiled up and became a sea of ​​joy. People cheered loudly, jumped, and vented the joy in their hearts.

Success! We succeeded!

Professor Ding Yidong clenched his fists and roared loudly, not caring about his image at all; Mr. Felix danced and played the violin that he hadn't touched for six months; Dr. Roman was singing loudly, regardless of what he was singing; Li Wu and his girlfriend Wen Xiaofeng were kissing passionately...

People were reveling and celebrating in various ways.

Humanity has entered the interstellar era! Many people suddenly burst into tears, they were moved by themselves and by all mankind. People suddenly felt that just for this minute of touching, everything, all the blood and sweat were worth it!

This kind of touching, this kind of joy, is not because of the improvement of living conditions, nor because of escaping the threat of death, but a kind of touching of the realization of an ideal. This kind of touching, unlike the material, is purely spiritual.

How many people in the world today will truly realize their ideals, and how many people will strive for their ideals? "Ideals" will always be forgotten by many people, and a beautiful kite will never fly in their sky. Now, everyone has paid blood and sweat for it, and they are fighting for their ideals. They are deeply moved by themselves.

Human beings, although selfish, greedy, cowardly, and have various shortcomings, have ideals and are willing to fight for them and work hard for them. Human beings are great because of their ideals and are practical because of their dreams.

We humans will move towards the stars, and we will be fearless!
