Chapter 553
In a blink of an eye, Wang Haifeng participated in the 196th year of work.
The days seem to be the same as before, nothing has changed, and it seems to have changed a lot.
With the rapid intensification of the aging of the population, people's work pressure is increasing. In order to accomplish their work goals, the retirement age of the elderly has to be extended for several years.
This policy has caused complaints among the people. Normally, a little overtime is fine. Even the retirement time will be extended. It is really unbearable. It has worked hard for a lifetime. Who doesn't want to retire earlier?
On this day, the two planets once again approached the perigee of the elliptical orbit. This is the closest period of time to the neutron star, and the gravitational slingshot effect will be used again to accelerate the planet body.
In the violent gravitational sea, all surface workers were evacuated from the planet for safety.
The two motherships crowded a population of more than 65 million, making them quite crowded.
Wang Haifeng was assigned a single room of 14 square meters, but he refused the arrangement from his superiors and chose to live with his family. In short, it would be good to save a little space...
There are so many people crowded in the spaceship, which is the first unprecedented. The vast crowd in the commercial plaza, various discussions and the greetings between acquaintances are intertwined, and it has evolved into the current new human Civilization.
Wang Haifeng usually lives in a small town near the construction site. He returns to the spaceship about once every ten years and is accustomed to a light life.
Listening to all kinds of noisy sounds and enjoying the exquisite food, he suddenly felt that this kind of excitement is actually quite good.
"Some people like life in big cities, some people like life in the country. But most people still like lively cities."
Wang Haifeng saw a well-dressed Old Mister, who was drinking in the corner restaurant, was his former leader, a man with a bad temper but a very knowledgeable man.
Wang Haifeng hurried over and said hello, "Old Li!"
"Old Wang!"
Then they chatted with each other.
The man caught a glimpse of Wang Haifeng, looked towards the big screen in the restaurant, and sighed: "...Sometimes I think, if this planetary fortress is suddenly swallowed by a neutron star, again Or other failures occur, can we not do this?"
Wang Haifeng haha laughed: "Of course! If this War Star is really swallowed or torn Now, the Thos can’t blame us, and the government can only give up."
"Our current state, everyone is patient."
That guy shook the head: "Yes, I want to return to it, but I am not willing, after it is swallowed, do we have the courage to develop a second War Star? Impossible! We have lost this courage... all of us All hope lies in this only War Star!"
"Working nine to ten hours a day, it’s been two hundred years! The future will have to continue until you can’t open your eyes! In the 21st century, people only work for eight hours!"
"But...if you don’t work, you have to watch the planet collide. Isn’t this a big setback of the times?"
"Regression?" Wang Haifeng said: "In fact, there is no regression. We eat well and dress well. What kind of regression is this? In history, there are times when we work hard and can't eat enough."
"It’s just that I haven’t made progress for too long, and I have become a little tired."
The captain in the central square is giving a speech, seeming to encourage everyone: "...we must report Hope, this is not the hope of our generation, but the previous generation, the previous generation, the next generation, and the next generation. It’s just that we are very lucky, but we are mixed in the middle. We have to fight for this. Lifetime."
"But this kind of struggle is not meaningless! It exercises our spirit willpower...because our real world is just the starting point in life, and we will still be in the virtual world Future-oriented life..."
"This kind of exercise allows us to face the temptation of all kinds of calmly, and the probability of passing the transcender assessment will become greater..."
"Fuck the temptation, I know empty talk all day long!" The Mr. Li seemed to be a little drunk, and he vomited some foul-mouthed words.
No one cares whether the captain is telling the truth or not.
Criticizing the government has become a new fashion.
Some people are thoughtful, some are drunk and talk nonsense there.
A small number of people are still ambitious and looking forward to the future, but most of them have slowly lost their patience.
Wang Haifeng was silent, not knowing how to describe this feeling. Some people can feel at home wherever one is, just like him, think that this kind of life can still work together. What kind of work is not work?
But some people find that the current life is unbearable.
This era seems to have become more and more fragmented. A small group of people in the distance are cheering and celebrating the completion of the 2nd Stage project. However, in the future there will be a long project of 3rd Stage, which will last at least four hundred years.
Some people hid in the corner and cursed quietly, cursing the government's original choice and the No. 17 plan chosen by Captain Colay at that time.
Why make the entire project schedule so tight!
They were not good at the time when they were born. They became a generation of sacrificed people.
But no matter what, people have to work hard like this, suppress their emotions, and have no other choice...
This is the era!
Suddenly, all the sounds of discussion disappeared, and people seemed to have discovered something, Qi Sensen looked towards the big screen in front.
On the colorful planet filled with ionic flames, the planetary engine made the most violent roar, just like a tractor, jetting out black gas when it is pulled by the abyss!
At this time, the thrust of the planetary engine compares the gravitational force of the neutron star, which is like the gap between the firefly and the bright moon. It has almost no effect. However, the smart computer still sends out according to the originally set equation The most accurate instructions.
The only thing that can play a role is the huge inertia that planet has accumulated over thousands of years, and precise calculations.
The earth is trembling, the planets are roaring, with the big ice ball behind them, quickly passing the perihelion.
There was a scream from the crowd!
Some drunk and drunk men raised their heads with mixed emotions, not knowing what they were thinking.
The big hockey puck at the rear is far from the entire planetary fortress in front, and under the action of a gravitational slingshot, it quickly shortens to only 20,000 kilometers.
This distance is too close. Seeing that the two planets are about to collide because of the gravitational attraction between each other!
At this time, suddenly, a block of rock and soil with a mass of one trillion tons was thrown out from above the planetary fortress.
The word "projection" should not be used, but the neutron star's huge gravitational pull is alive.
In order to cut this long piece of rock and soil, which is larger than a mountain, tens of thousands of workers took a full 100 years.
When this rock and soil fell out of the planet, the planetary fortress seemed to change its direction a little bit, and the distance between it and the ice puck at the back increased again.
Followed by the second, third, and fourth blocks...
These ejected rock and soil blocks will turn into stray meteorites, and their orbits are slightly lower. Then some levels change the momentum of the entire planet.
They will orbit the two neutron stars for a long, long time. But in the end, these meteorites will fall on top of the neutron star and become part of the neutron star after the super explosion.
A total of 16 rock and soil blocks were sucked out by the huge gravity of the neutron star.
There was also a big hockey puck that hit the rear, causing a huge impact. The big hockey puck was smashed into a pit, setting off a huge amount of ice flakes.
After this time, the planetary fortress slightly deflected its own direction of movement, passing by the big ice puck in the rear, and then the two sides completely separated.
After the two planets chased each other for hundreds of years, in the end they still went their separate ways and never saw each other again.
Just like the emotional world of so many people, there are very few who can stay together forever, and in the end they have to leave.
The entire thrilling process took about 15 days. Every morning when Wang Haifeng gets up, he will see a large number of people discussing in the central square whether the error of the whole process is within the allowable range of fault tolerance.
Some people are sighing. Seeing that the whole plan is almost successful, the planetary fortress has not been swallowed by the neutron star, it has successfully survived.
