Chapter 79 Skylab

The next day, Zhao Huasheng met the girl he had seen yesterday again. + It was the morning, and the sky was densely packed with stars, and the sunlight reflectors surrounded the slightly dim sun. Together with the sun, they brought warm air to the City of Life and allowed various plants in the City of Life to grow. Zhao Huasheng sat on a stone bench in the small park, with his hands on the back of his head, leaning against the back of his chair, looking at the sky quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, a gentle female voice came into Zhao Huasheng's ears: "Hello, can I sit here?"

Zhao Huasheng withdrew his gaze to the sky and looked forward. He saw the girl he accidentally bumped into yesterday standing in front of him. The difference is that she has changed into a dress today, from professional outfit to casual outfit, but the quiet and peaceful aura on her body has not changed.

Zhao Huasheng did not show too much attention to her, but just moved to the side and said, "Yes."

Seeing Zhao Huasheng lowered his head, the girl said in surprise: "Ah, what a coincidence, it turned out to be you. Didn't you go to work today?"

Zhao Huasheng looked at the sky again and said lightly: "I don't have a job."

"No job?" The girl seemed a little confused, but didn't ask much. After sitting down next to Zhao Huasheng, a pleasant smell of flowers spread into Zhao Huasheng's nose. This made Zhao Huasheng's brows frown again.

"I was sick today and didn't go to work. It was so boring at home that I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet you again. What a coincidence."

"Um."

"My name is Wang You, what's your name?"

"Um."

"Where do you live? You seem to be very heavy. Do you have any worries?"

"Um."

"Oh, can you tell me your thoughts?"

"Um."

No matter what the girl said, Zhao Huasheng always replied with a faint word. As if he noticed that Zhao Huasheng didn't want to speak, the girl also calmed down, sat next to Zhao Huasheng, spread the book in her hand on her legs, and quietly started reading.

This scene was also captured by a secret camera and then teleported to a distance.

"Zhao Huasheng did not leave here, but chose to sit here. I suggest that the contact index of No. 2 should be raised to 80 points, with a high level, and the third contact planning should be started as soon as possible."

…………

Time passed quietly. After about an hour or two, the girl closed the book in her hand, stood up, and said to Zhao Huasheng: "It's getting late, I'm going back. Don't you go home?"

"Um."

"Then...goodbye. Thank you for spending a morning with me."

"Um."

Zhao Huasheng still put his hands on the back of his head and looked up at the sky, never looking at the girl. The girl waved her hand at Zhao Huasheng, then turned around and left.

Time is still being spent peacefully. This area in the City of Life is like a paradise on the earth, and no matter what changes the outside world change, it cannot spread here. Zhao Huasheng's life is unprecedentedly leisurely and comfortable.

This leisure and comfort are not only reflected in the state of life. No matter where Zhao Huasheng goes, Zhao Huasheng can always detect a faint warmth covering him. Whether it is an old lady who is smiling by chance, a child who is jumping and holding a lollipop in his hand, or a very beautiful young sex who is very friendly to him, or a group of energetic young people he meets by chance - in that encounter, Zhao Huasheng was just passing by and was pulled to the party by a group of young people sitting on the ground, watching them sing, telling stories, drinking beer until they are drunk, and laughing happily... Although Zhao Huasheng has been watching quietly and has not participated, Zhao Huasheng can also experience their relaxation and their joy.

Life continues like this. Zhao Huasheng is like a ghost walking in the world, watching all the beauty of this world coldly, and then not getting infected with any dust in this world.

There were so many people of various colors that Zhao Huasheng had appeared in Zhao Huasheng's life circle, but none of these people had ripples in Zhao Huasheng's heart.

Zhao Huasheng has also been paying attention to the progress of the comet impact plan. To stabilize people's hearts, enhance self-confidence and cohesion, the human government has been publishing details of the progress of the comet impact plan. Whether from the Internet or on traditional media, Zhao Huasheng can obtain sufficient information.

The scientists first mobilized huge observation power and aimed countless telescopes at this comet that had not been valued before. They even launched three detectors to observe next to Comet Arthur. One of the detectors also included a lander and directly landed on the largest fragment of Comet Arthur.

Scientists numbered the fifteen large pieces in alphabetical order, name them Arthur a, Arthur b, and until Arthur o. Scientists measured the physical properties of the fifteen fragments in detail, such as the size, mass, shape, gas content, elemental composition, etc., and then conducted precise and detailed calculations on the orbit, gas ejection rate and other data of the comet Arthur.

After obtaining this data, the scientists carried out the next step of calculation. The scientists divided the sun's surface into fifteen different size areas, and then began to calculate which piece of debris should be used to hit which area. After this step of inference and calculation also came up with the results, the scientists began to simulate the forward orbit of the Arthur Comet fragments, and began to calculate how much engine thrust and how much gas ejection rate should be used to allow these debris to advance according to the calculated orbit.

This is a very large and sophisticated computing process. This is the first time that such a scale has appeared in human history. But humans have no choice. After all, this is the smallest cost and highest success rate in computing. Therefore, human society must do its best to do this.

Tens of thousands of scientists have participated in modeling and computing, as well as mission planning. In addition, the construction of the space base of Sky Laboratory has also been included in the work planning.

As the scientist said, it is not cost-effective to directly use high thrust conventional rockets that can only be used once to directly launch the sunlight reflector plate and engine onto Comet Arthur. Building a space base in the Earth's orbit as a transit is the most time-saving and labor-saving approach. The material transportation mission between Sky Laboratory and the ground is performed by a new reusable rocket. Because Sky Laboratory itself orbits the Earth at extremely high speeds, launching rockets from it does not require too much push and too much fuel.

The entire human civilization has devoted itself to the preparations of Sky Laboratory with extremely high efficiency and enthusiasm. Sky Laboratory is based on the Lighthouse Space Station, which has existed on the Earth's orbit as a prototype, and is modified from a large amount of materials and equipment subsequently transported. Because it was not a brand new construction but just a modification and expansion, the construction of Sky Laboratory was extremely rapid and it took only two months to complete.

There are two main reasons why such a huge construction project was completed in such an incredible time. First, human science and technology have developed greatly compared to before. Second, human civilization has invested the most resources in this matter.

After completion, the total length of the Sky Laboratory reached 463 meters, more than 200 meters wide and more than 30 meters thick, which is larger than the largest aircraft carrier on Earth. It is mainly composed of three residential rooms, a space rocket launcher, and a large material reserve warehouse. Fifty-seven astronauts and engineers who have received strict training are stationed on the Sky Laboratory. With the command and assistance of ground staff, as well as the help of many automation equipment, they are responsible for the daily maintenance and daily launch tasks of the laboratory.

After the completion of Sky Laboratory, more and more intensive rocket launch missions were launched, and a huge amount of supplies and equipment were transported to Sky Laboratory. A new spacecraft was assembled and obtained the name "Messenger of Light".

The spacecraft will be launched directly on the Sky Laboratory, and then it will dock with Comet Arthur after spending a five-day space journey. At that time, under the remote control of its own programs and ground control base personnel, the sunlight reflector will be installed on the fifteen large fragments of Comet Arthur, allowing those fragments to move forward according to the will of human civilization.

The launch of spacecraft in the space environment has a completely different launch mechanism than on the ground. The spacecraft launched here does not require a huge rocket as a carrier. Here, the rocket has been simplified into a very small detachable thruster, which will contribute enough to the Messenger of Light to break free from the Earth's gravity and accelerate to extremely high speed. After completing its mission, in order to reduce the total mass of the spacecraft, it will automatically escape from the spacecraft. After that, the fuel stored on the Messenger of Light will continue to accelerate for it until it has the same speed as Comet Arthur and is in a relatively stationary state.

Two and a half months later, Comet Arthur was still 11 million kilometers away from the earth. At this time, the unmanned spacecraft of the Light Messenger left the Sky Laboratory, and stepped into the vast space under the gaze of all humans.
