Vol 3 Chapter 135: Through the nebula

Two weeks later.
The Feitian approaching the large space quantum communication relay base station sent the video packets.
Subsequently, the spacecraft was turned into autopilot, and all the crew entered the dormant room of the dormant room.
The dormant warehouse can maintain the human body's minimum energy consumption state. At low temperatures, the cell activity drops to the lowest level. Just like animal hibernation, it can reduce the energy consumption to the greatest extent and reduce the harm to the human body.
In fact, the biggest significance of the dormant warehouse is not in the nutrient consumption saved during the dormant process, but to prevent various physiological and psychological problems that humans will encounter in a closed environment during a long interstellar journey.
Physiological aging can be overcome with drugs; psychological problems cannot be overcome with drugs.
Common mental illnesses such as autism, environmental claustrophobia, fantasy, and mania will happen once inside the spaceship ...
Lie flat in the dorm, before starting dormancy.
"Grandpa, I have to sleep for 160 years this time. Do you have any questions?" Yun Xinghe asked. The grandpa in his mind was in a symbiotic relationship with him. He fell asleep. Will the grandpa have something to do?
For example, it disappears suddenly.
"Don't worry, Grandpa will not leave, you have a good rest."
"Uh ~"
Yunxinghe nodded and pressed the button to activate the dormant warehouse.
"Bah ~~" A cloud of mist-like liquid sprayed out in front of him. The stunned ingredients inside made him fall into a coma. After a while, he lost all consciousness.
...
"Ding ~"
"The character has entered deep sleep, do you want to quit the game?" The system prompted.
"no!"
The flexibility of "The Sims" is here. If you want to leave the game, there are many opportunities.
In reality, Zhou Ming happens to have some things to do. In the next few days, he can put the Yunxing River aside and concentrate on his own affairs.
...
In vast space.
A drifting spacecraft is doing unpowered gliding flight.
In the quiet, dark universe, like a ghost ship.
"Wow ~"
The dormant warehouse was opened.
A man sat up holding his head.
Headache split.
A dream.
A long-lasting dream.
The scene in the dream is as strange as a kaleidoscope, but after waking up, I don't remember anything.
Even some of the original memories are vague and chaotic.
Ten minutes later, he remembered his name-Yunxinghe.
"Child, you are awake." A voice came from my mind.
"Who are you?" Yun Xinghe froze and asked.
"It seems that your memory has disappeared a lot. In the medical room, one day the memory recovery machine has completed the backup of your memory there. Let's get your memory back." The voice in the brain reminded.
Yun Xinghe nodded and found the medical room. After seeing the memory recovery machine, he put on his helmet and began to retrieve his memory.
Coupled with some medication, Yunxing River completely returned to normal three days later.
In the bridge control hall.
Sitting in the position of the captain, open the control panel, and first check the status of the spaceship.
"All system functions are normal."
"The remaining energy is 87%, the accelerating medium is 65%, and the life supplies on board are 95%."
"The current sailing speed is 0.45201C, and the current total sailing time: 163.33 years."
"Report: A damage was found on the right wing of Feitian. It is guessed that it was caused by the impact of floating objects in space. The damage was slight, but it is recommended to repair it immediately."
An issue reported by the spaceship Zhinao surprised Yunxinghe who was enjoying beef lunch, and asked Zhinao to point the camera at the damaged part:
Yunxinghe saw that the right wing of the spacecraft, near the wingtip, and the thin wing surface, was hit with a big fist hole.
Although the wing was not penetrated, a cold sweat came out of the forehead. Fortunately, it was the wing position. If it hit the bridge control hall ...
After lunch, I put on an extravehicular space suit, carried an air bag, brought a repair tool, and tied my waist with a long strap. After exiting the cabin, I flew nearly 200 meters before Yunxing River arrived at the spaceship. Damaged parts.
A force field alloy was refilled, and the gap was welded with a high-energy laser. Under precise operation, it took only 15 minutes to repair the damaged part.
Standing on the surface of the spaceship and looking up, Yunxing River was shocked.
The stars in the sky are bright and beautiful. The original Oma Nebula like tulle, at a close distance, is like a colored silk, red, blue, purple, orange, white, and gray. Kind of color.
Meteor shower.
The Yunxing River also saw a very rare meteor shower. The space meteorite that came from somewhere. After entering the Oma Nebula at high speed, it rubbed with the dense gas, heated, glowed, and dragged a long track, even At the distance of two more light moons, it also looks very clear.
"It's so beautiful."
Yun Xinghe sighed in his heart.
After returning to the spaceship, a few days later, I checked all the equipment and systems on the ship and confirmed that there was no problem. Yunxing River awakened all the partners who were still dormant.
"The Omar Nebula is almost here, and the Feitian is about to slow down, crossing the Omar Nebula!"
...
"It hurts, it hurts."
"Who am I? Where am I?"
"How long have I been sleeping?"
"My head really hurts ..."
After the teammates were awakened, the symptoms were similar to Yunxinghe. After sending them to the medical room one by one, they basically returned to normal within a week.
In the bridge control hall.
All the members discussed the strategy of Omar Nebula.
"The thickness of the Omar Nebula is not thick, the average thickness is about 3 light years, and the thinnest point is less than 1 light year, but the area is very large, the length is more than 70 light years, and the width is more than 20 light years. The internal substance concentration should not be Large, most areas, starlight can penetrate ... "
"But the dangers cannot be ignored. Space storms and special magnetic fields may cause the spacecraft to fly abnormally or malfunction, and it is impossible to bypass this nebula. That would increase the flight duration by ten years, even if the spacecraft is reduced. The speed, straight line crossing, is also more cost-effective than detouring. "
The question is: how much lower is the speed of the spacecraft?
"0.35 times the speed of light. At this speed, the force field alloy should withstand the impact of low-density materials."
Chief Engineer Xia Xingkong said, after thinking about it, he added: "After entering the nebula, the frictional resistance will also reduce the speed of the spacecraft, and the temperature of the surface of the spacecraft will increase ... Therefore, it is not suitable to start the main engine. Speed, automatically decelerate to a safe range, and then turn on the power system. "
"It's better to let the spacecraft slow down to the lowest. On the Feitian, there is no lack of energy, but the acceleration medium has been used up by one third. It should be added. We can open the material collector on the spacecraft to collect some acceleration. Medium. "Sugaru suggested in due course.
However, the material collector can only be used normally when the speed of the spacecraft is less than 0.1C. Above this speed, the collector will be destroyed by high-speed particles.
However, some people feel that it is not necessary. After passing through the Omar Nebula and flying for another ten light years, it will reach the P654J star. The acceleration medium should be enough. There is no need to supplement it. To save time, the spacecraft should not be less than 0.3C. Speed, through the Omar Nebula.
In the face of these opinions, for the sake of insurance, Yunxing River Road: "Let ’s wait for the spacecraft to automatically lower to 0.1C, then open the material collector, add some acceleration media, wait for the acceleration media to be full, and introduce some of it to the material reaction. Combustion in the furnace, no longer using energy blocks, saving some energy consumption. "
In addition to the iron element, the material reactor on the spacecraft can burn everything. As long as there is a continuous source of material, the spacecraft will have inexhaustible energy.
...
Two months later.
The Feitian, whose speed dropped to 0.35C, plunged into the Omar Nebula.
"Boom ~"
A large number of atoms are constantly rubbing and exploding on the surface of the spacecraft.
The Feitian trembles violently, its speed continues to drop, and the temperature of the hull surface rises to more than 3,000 degrees within a few hours, like a piece of carbon wrapped in fire.
Yunxinghe, they still underestimated the difficulty of crossing this nebula. Fortunately, in the peripheral area, after entering the central area, the suddenly increased concentration of matter is like entering a viscous glue lake, and the speed cannot be fast.
There is also a violent storm. This kind of space storm is not a few levels or dozens of levels, but dozens or hundreds of levels! The speed of a hurricane can reach thousands of kilometers in one second. The flying attitude of Feitian has been blown countless times.
The crew inside the spacecraft all vomited and diarrhea, and the dizzy world was spinning, and there was no way to distinguish between southeast, northwest, up, down, left and right.
I began to hate me very much. Why is their spaceship so small that they can't even stop a small space storm?
If you have a billion-ton heavy spaceship, you are not afraid of this hurricane!
It was still the helmsman Sugaru, who gritted his teeth and controlled the operating lever, breaking the power of the spaceship to maximum from time to time, rotating the engine nozzle, trying to adjust his attitude, and escape the impact of the storm.
This process of dying for immortality lasted for more than a year, and some people even spit out bile. Everyone lost an average of ten pounds, and finally flew out of the center of the storm.
After more than three years, after flying out of the Oma Nebula, he looked back at the fascinating and beautiful nebula, and everyone felt terrified.
And swear in my heart, next time they encounter this type of nebula, they would rather fly for more than ten years than stay in it for a year!
