Chapter 171 The shuttle is sailing Kagawa looked at the scenery outside the window always believed that the night sky she had seen when she was a child in the countryside in the 21st century was the cleanest and most beautiful. Looking around, it seemed that the visible range was covered with stars, and in the distance, it seemed that the Milky Way, like a strip of light, could be seen. Now, the shuttle she was on had left the virtual atmosphere of the main ship and entered outer space. It was the first time that Kagawa saw what the starry sky looked like without the atmosphere or clouds covering it. When she was still lying in her rental house and worrying about the summary report documents for the weekly Monday meeting, she would occasionally see news about the motherland's space station on social media. But at that time, Kagawa no longer had the childhood expectations for the unattainable space exploration. When she grew up and actually experienced the speed of social and technological progress, she had already prepared herself for the possibility that she might not be able to go to space to take a look when she died. Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that she would sleep until 30,000 years later. Now, the space that she and her elementary school classmates had imagined countless times when she was a child is only one window away. Qiu Manman, who was sitting next to him, looked at Xiangchuan curiously, as he was so excited that he seemed to be sticking to the window, and asked: "Xiangchuan, why do you look like you have never been on a shuttle ship?" Of course I haven't sat on it! Xiangchuan shouted in her heart, but for the sake of her life, she certainly couldn't say it directly. The government did not restrict the residents of each fleet from using the local area network or space-time network to access the public external cameras of the main ship or escort ship to enjoy the scenery of the fleet sailing in the universe, or allow merchants to launch products that simulate the space environment in real time. However, due to various unexpected situations that may be encountered outside, such as passing through the asteroid belt and unexpected situations caused by the magnetic field, the internal environment simulation system of the main ship and escort ship simulates the starry sky similar to the earth at night to avoid unnecessary panic. Therefore, the only people who often see the real universe are those who often work outside the hull or in the spaceport. Due to learning needs, students often watch the images taken by external cameras in real time, or use simulation devices to simulate the current environment of the fleet. Kagawa has a small device in her own room, but she has almost forgotten it now. Therefore, although they do not have direct contact with the universe like peripheral operators, the specific image of the concept of outer space has been deeply engraved in the students' minds, and now they will not be surprised by the scenery outside the window when they are on a shuttle. There was no one as excited as Kagawa.
"I learned from reading some materials that in ancient times, 99% of people had never actually entered outer space in their entire lives, and some children even had to use their imagination to describe the scenery of the universe. After reading so many such texts, I guess I was somewhat influenced by them, right?" Xiangchuan put her hands on the window. She felt very strange. The space that people admired and feared in the 21st century was only a few centimeters away from her. This feeling was really amazing. "In the Chinese class, Teacher Zhu mentioned that people in the past only lived on the earth. Is this true?" Nancy asked curiously across the aisle, and other students also looked at her curiously. "Yes, in the past, people lived on Earth. The original apes evolved into humans. For a long time afterwards, they could not leave the Earth's ecosystem, so they could only look up at the stars. Later, civilization developed, technology advanced, and some countries... in our modern terms, they are like fleets, right? Developed countries invested money and talent to build space stations in the universe and cultivate plants that can grow in the universe. Even the exploration of the moon and Saturn, which are closest to the Earth, can only be carried out by machines." "Looking at the universe from the surface of a planet? Wouldn't that be boring?" Ino, who was sitting behind her, said disdainfully. "It is true for us, but different periods of cosmic observations have led to different discoveries, which are still very valuable for people in the past. And it is not boring, because the earth has been revolving around the sun, and the appearance of the starry sky is fixed. The record document I got was more than two thousand years earlier. The earlier humans who studied the starry sky discovered this based on the shape of the stars. They combined the stars together to form eighty-eight 'constellations' and compiled stories for these constellations, which have been passed down to this day." "Eighty-eight?! What kind of stories are they!" Hearing about the stories, Qiu Manman suddenly became excited. She was now having a headache over the script for their club's first performance, and she really needed some dramatic stories. Among the three books that Kagawa had previously published, "The Count of Monte Cristo" suited her taste the most, but that novel was a bit too long for a drama. Now that she heard that the more ancient humans had created eighty-eight stories, she couldn't sit still. There were eighty-eight! Among them, there must be a story about their club! [Ahem, please keep quiet while the shuttle is sailing and don't disturb students from other classes. ] The monitor Lu Daiqing, who was sitting at the front, had turned on the radio at some point and connected to the terminals of everyone in Class 8 of Senior 1. His voice came into everyone's ears from everyone's terminals. Qiu Manman then remembered that her class was now sitting in the same cabin with Class 9 and Class 10. Looking around, the students in the other two classes were either leaning back in their chairs to catch up on their sleep, or glaring at the seats in Class 8 because they had just been woken up. This made her shrink her head and dare not shout anymore, fearing to cause public outrage. As the cabin returned to peace, Kagawa could continue to look at the scenery outside the window. There is still a certain distance between the production escort ship and the mother ship. When the escort ship was first built, in order to prevent the escort ship from being affected by the aftermath of the mother ship's voyage, the designers put a lot of effort into adjusting the gravity and repulsion between the mother ship and the escort ship, because it was necessary to prevent the escort ship from being caught in the aftermath of the mother ship's voyage, and to ensure that the escort ship could not be too close to the mother ship, otherwise it would be attracted by the mother ship's gravity. Since the first model of the escort ship was built, the gravity and repulsion ratio between the main ship and the escort ship has been adjusted according to different environments. Now, 30,000 years later, it is no exception. No one knows what special circumstances will interfere with the communication between the escort ship and the mother ship when sailing in the unknown universe. The shuttle ship's sailing time will also vary depending on the adjustment of gravity and repulsion between the main ship and the escort ship. This voyage was a bit long. It was not until nearly seven o'clock that the shuttle ship entered the port of the fourth production escort ship. Seeing the window of the shuttle gradually closing, Kagawa could only reluctantly withdraw his thoughts from the window.
