Deep Space Fleet

Chapter 52 We must know

Three days passed quickly.

Everyone was confined to their seats except for going to the toilet. Like going to jail, it's a hard thing to do.

The gravity is decreasing bit by bit, and when the centrifugal force is completely equal to the gravity, people will experience the feeling of complete weightlessness.

The freshness of the tourists has long since passed, replaced by an inexplicable restlessness and irritability. It's been three days, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I have become accustomed to it. The excitement at the beginning has turned into boredom.

Weightlessness, which looks funny and fun, is actually a very scary thing.

First, the blood pressure in the head will rise, and the legs will start to swell. There is an image medical term called "pig head bird leg syndrome". The term in medicine is called "Charlie Brown effect".

Second, as the brain loses the grip of gravity and floats inside the skull, it may cause blurred vision. These symptoms are collectively known as visual impairment and intracranial pressure syndrome.

No matter how advanced the medical technology is, these diseases cannot all disappear, so the elderly and underage children are not allowed to go to space.

In this case, tourists become strangely silent and speak softly.

Boys can only pretend to be bold, and girls have become real ladies.

"Mr. Zhang, do you feel panicked? I don't feel very comfortable."

"No, it's good to get used to it. You can take some low-efficiency nitric oxide and other drugs."

"I've eaten it, and I still feel bad."

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "In addition to physical factors, there are also psychological factors, which are a bit like wilderness phobia. The main reason is that this place is too open. When you return to the ground, it will be fine again."

The girl who had just known each other for three days stuck out her tongue, her expression was not very good.

In fact, not just her, but almost everyone.

Perhaps she recalled that this was in the boundless universe. There is only a thin layer of glass between man and the universe.

It was utter nothingness outside, nothing but deadly radiation.

Any slight mistake can cause the entire batch of people to die without burial.

Or maybe, they suddenly turned their heads and looked down at the earth from an altitude of more than 30,000 kilometers. After entering a wider field of vision, they would find that the earth is really too small, just a small stone floating quietly in the solar system .

Almost all human beings reproduce and live on this small rock.

Human beings have created countless stories here.

Including four ancient civilizations, eight wonders, four world wars, countless love and hatred...

But the earth is too small, and all the history, culture, religion, and wars are just small stories on small stones.

Humans and bacteria, there really isn't much difference.

All the intrigues and fights between the fly and the dog have turned into mutual devouring among bacteria.

The head of the coalition government has turned into a bacterial leader.

The richest man in the world is equivalent to the largest individual in bacteria.

Then what?

Which bacterium dies, which bacterium gets a mate, which bacterium is a sparkly admirer of the masses... Even if the earth is completely conquered-what does this mother who is very doting on her children say?

The outside world is so big, so big!

This kind of wonderful contrast completely burnt the pride that they had conquered nature a few days ago into ashes.

A few hours later, in silence, the world-famous "Tenglong" space city arrived.

"It's so small, why is it so small..."

People's first reaction was that this space city is so small.

The tour guide introduced: "It's not small anymore, with a diameter of one kilometer! After all, it is an old device from a hundred years ago. There was no space elevator at the time. It is so difficult to build this space city relying on the propulsion power of rockets."

The zero-gravity experimental area, plant cultivation area, and ring-shaped living area, these materials have long been familiar to the public.

Because of its early age and outdated facilities, this space city has gradually become a tourist attraction and an interstellar port for cargo delivery, without much scientific research equipment.

Small, coupled with deserted, means that there is little sense of security.

Even if it successfully reached the destination, it did not arouse the enthusiasm of tourists. Everyone just looked at it symbolically, but the tour guide kept introducing it.

"Pucao was born in this space city, which is called 'a gift from space to mankind'."

"If you live in a zero-gravity zone for a long time, people will grow very tall. It is very possible to grow five centimeters taller after staying in space for a period of time..."

No matter how to mobilize emotions, people's reaction is still not great.

There are quite a lot of people taking pictures, and there is already a ground-to-ground network in this space city.

They snapped photos and uploaded them to the circle of friends. It would be nice to make relatives and friends envious...

Anyway, no matter what, you have to pretend to be enjoying it. After spending money, you can't say it's not fun, right?

The vast majority of people are completely frightened after going to space once, and never dare to go up for the second time.

Human beings have evolved on the earth for millions of years, and they have a certain certainty about where they live, even if they are self-righteous.

Not everyone is willing to abandon the gentle harbor and live that kind of lonely and fearful life.

Zhang Yuan sighed, having experienced this kind of thing a lot, he got used to it. Anyway, there are plenty of people signing up for space tourism, and there is no need for repeat customers.

He turned his head and said with a smile: "Ms. Li, we are going to the moon with the team soon, so let's bid farewell here."

The girl who had been in the same carriage for three days asked, "Mr. Zhang, I have one last question to ask you."

Zhang Yuan said: "I was thinking, you might be a reporter? From your every move, it seems to have this characteristic."

The girl raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I was discovered by you! But I don't mean to interview, I just want to know in private, why you and your companions left the solar system and went to such a far place ?”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and replied, "My answer to your question is, I don't know."

"Don't know?" The girl showed a puzzled look.

"Yeah, we don't know. I don't know the world outside the solar system, so I want to see it. Have you seen the earth under your feet? Do you think our home star is very small, just a very ordinary sapphire."

"Yeah, very small." The girl followed with emotion, "When I came to space, my mood seemed a little different again, as if I had a feeling of being out of the world... Although I still feel very scared. I still want to thank you for this The silent contributions of many space workers. I finally understand why their wages are so high."

Zhang Yuan continued: "I don't know how vast the starry sky is, we want to know."

"I don't know what the earth will look like after three thousand years. We want to know."

"I don't know, it's our motivation."

"We must know, and we shall know."

There is always a small group of people who are willing to muster up the courage to bounce high from the small rocks, raise their hearts, tiptoes, and stretch out their fingers to touch the deadly and boundless starry sky.

Even at the cost of your life.

The woman was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "Your answer is really philosophical. I will write it down, can you send it to Moments?"

"It's better...don't let it go!" Zhang Yuan felt that he really couldn't afford to lose that face.

Several people laughed.
