The fourth day that takes vacation on the island, Jiang Chen finished the original seven days of holidays ahead of time, took the helicopter to return to Koro Island. 在小岛上度假的第四天,江晨提前结束原定七天的假日,乘坐直升机回到了科罗岛上。 All because of a mail, change his leave arrangement temporarily 一切都是因为一封邮件,临时改变了他的休假安排 Evening of April 4. 四月4号晚。 A paint black helicopter is howling the propeller, approached by with large army the guard the island situated in equator, turned toward in the dim light of night glitters the aircraft parking area of green light to drop the altitude. 一架漆黑色的直升机呼啸着螺旋桨,靠近了被重兵把守的位于赤道的小岛,在夜色中向着闪烁着绿灯的停机坪下降了高度。 Also without stop in the aircraft parking area, puts on Jiang Chen of casual attire then to jump in the aircraft parking area, toward had waited there for some time Kelvin to walk here. 还没在停机坪上停稳,穿着便装的江晨便跳在了停机坪上,向着已经在此等候多时的克尔温走了过去。 Here is the original address of aerospace launching center, after Department of Space was established changes the name is Star Ring Ground Command Center, browses broadest Department of Space Headquarters as the Star Ring Trading business. 这里是航天发射中心的原址,在航天部成立后更名为星环地面指挥中心,作为星环贸易业务涉猎最广的航天部的总部。 Walks shoulder to shoulder on going to control center's internal road, Kelvin walks by Jiang Chen's, at the same time is saying serious. 并肩走在前往指挥中心内部的路上,克尔温走在江晨的旁边,一边神情严肃地说着。 „At night the day before yesterday, our Mars Colonization Plan astronomical observation group to going to the sparks (Mars) route made the astronomy data analysis, to the Serial Number 1201 routes conducted the optical observation, then discovered that thing. Really is unbelievable” “前天晚间,我们火星殖民计划的天文观测组在对前往火星航路做天文数据分析时,对编号1201航道进行了光学观测,然后便发现了那东西。实在是难以置信” „Blocking the passage of information?” Has not stopped the footsteps, Jiang Chen asks. “封锁消息了吗？”没有停下脚步,江晨问道。 „Has blocked.” Kelvin earnest say/way. “已经封锁了。”克尔温认真道。 Jiang Chen nods, „secret rank lists as S Grade, the relevant personnel first under the grievance they, isolate temporarily.” 江晨点了点头,“机密级别列为s级,相关人员先委屈下他们,暂时隔离。” Kelvin deeply inspires, the nod said, „understands.” 克尔温深吸了一口气,点头道,“明白。” The Mars Colonization Plan team, to colonize sparks (Mars) as the name suggests establishes, after solving to Colonist lands sparks (Mars), lives on all possible difficulties from Colony Ship. Ecology Artillery System said booing, Last of Days that side Garden of Eden Project can be the reference, but other troublesome actually not even absorbed the Last of Days technology, many places must participate in the design by researcher of modern personally. 火星殖民计划项目组,顾名思义为殖民火星而成立,旨在解决从殖民舰出发到殖民者登陆火星后生活上的一切可能出现的困难。生态系统倒好说,末世那边的伊甸园计划可以作为参考,但其他麻烦却不即使是吸收了末世的技术,很多地方也必须由现代的科研人员亲自参与设计。 On Last of Days that timeline, because reason on various political and diplomacy, till pre-war, three big camps no one successfully constructs to go to sparks (Mars) Colony Ship, or makes the formalization breakthrough in the aerospace activity. 在末世那条时间线上,因为各种政治、外交上的原因,直到战前为止,三大阵营都没有人成功地建造前往火星的殖民舰,或者说在航天活动上实现规模化的突破。 According to the Lin Ling's view, on sparks (Mars) has truly had p, n and Colony of p three big camps, but basically is the scientific research natures, the scale naturally is quite limited. Because is unable to realize the ecological cycle, after Earth Space Elevator was destroyed, Colony that three rely on the Earth commodity supplies was forced to abandon. 根据林玲的说法,火星上确实存在过p、n、p三大阵营的殖民地,但基本都是科研性质,规模自然是相当有限。因为无法实现生态循环,地球太空电梯被摧毁之后,三座依赖于地球物资补给的殖民地就被迫废弃了。 On sparks (Mars) is not difficult the aerospace launch, before being very long, ns achieved. But must establish one to be able with Earth to maintain stable commodity exchange Colony, rather than makes sparks (Mars) one -way airplane ticket, but not only launches aerospace that simple. 将航天器发射到火星上不难,很久以前ns就做到了。但要建立一座能够与地球保持稳定物资交换的殖民地,而不是让去火星成为一张单程机票,可就不仅仅是发射航天器那么简单了。 sparks (Mars) and Earth consistently are maintaining the relative motion, the range interval changes between 5500-400000000 km, guarantees one from Earth to the sparks (Mars) stable route, realizes the Mars Colonization Plan key. But this work, is completed by astronomical observation group in the team. 火星与地球始终保持着相对运动,距离间隔在5500到400000000公里之间变化,确保一条从地球到火星的稳定航路,是实现火星殖民计划的关键。而这一项工作,是由项目组中的天文观测组进行完成。 Their routine work through the route that Quantum Computer calculates, in through the optics, spectrum and other observation methods, confirmed whether on the route has the meteorite, Asteroid and other obstacles. In conducts the observation to the Serial Number 1201 routes, they actually discovered thing that is similar to Unidentified Flying Object. 他们的日常工作就是通过量子计算机计算出的航道,在通过光学、光谱等观测手段,确认航道上是否存在陨石,小行星等障碍物。然而在对编号1201航道进行观测时,他们却发现了一个类似于不明飞行物的东西。 Two people stop before an aluminum alloy gate that is hanging the Mars Colonization Plan symbol, Kelvin pulled out the graphene card in hand, brushed on the entrance reader under. 两人停在了一间挂着火星殖民计划标志的铝合金门前,克尔温掏出了手中的石墨烯卡片,在门口的读卡器上刷了下。 After the gate opens, the Kelvin half step arrived by dead ahead holographic screen, sat the project leader in this/should position give away the position immediately. Sees only Kelvin to put out a hand under the operation interface continually points, then put out a hand to pat under the seat back cushion of front staff chair, ordered, „aimed at the Serial Number 1201 routes the Star Ring No. 1 tracking telescope.” 门打开后,克尔温快步走到了正前方的全息屏幕旁,坐在该位置的项目负责人立刻让出了位置。只见克尔温伸手在操作界面连点数下,然后伸手拍了下前排工作人员椅子的靠背,下令道,“将星环一号天文望远镜对准编号1201航道。” „Yes.” The staff nod, pī pā is striking the touchpad. “是。”工作人员点头,噼噼啪啪地敲打着触控板。 The tracking telescope swinging angle on Star Ring City, the lens start the focal variation slightly. 远在星环城上的天文望远镜微微摆动角度,镜头开始变焦。 Quick Jiang Chen then sees, the holographic screen center, appears together the jet black shadow. That said that black shadow the spheroid of shape approximate rule, space all around twists air wave to result in the fold, is lending stubbornly the ominous aura. 很快江晨便看见,全息屏幕中央,浮现出一道漆黑的影子。那道黑影的形状近似规则的球体,周遭的空间扭曲着气浪似得褶皱,散发着死死不祥的气息。 The pupil contracts slightly, the Jiang Chen's heart, mentioned the throat in a flash. 瞳孔微微收缩,江晨的心脏,一瞬间提到了嗓子眼。 „Through the spectrometric analysis, the goal titanium content over 61,” has not noticed the change of Jiang Chen expression, Kelvin assigns out another to flood the orange red spectral image, was saying to the Jiang Chen solution to the chart on parameter. “通过元素光谱分析,目标钛含量在61以上,”没有注意到江晨表情的变化,克尔温调出了另一张充斥着橙红色的光谱图,对着图上的参数向江晨解说道。 When hears these words, Jiang Chen relaxes slowly, the pinched tightly fist also relaxed. 在听到这句话的时候,江晨缓缓松了口气,捏紧的拳头也放松了开。 Although did not determine that biological civilization uses the metal to arm itself, but is a little at least certain, since technical tree crooked to lifeform, that carbon content can in 50 percent above? 虽然不确定生物文明是否使用金属武装自己,但至少有一点可以肯定,既然科技树歪到了生物上,那碳含量总得在百分之五十以上吧？ Calmed down slightly, Jiang Chen was raising the chin to holographic screen in that black spheroid. 稍稍稳定了情绪,江晨对着全息屏幕中的那个黑色球体扬了扬下巴。 „What is that?” “那是什么？” „Does not know,” strangeness that the Kelvin expression could not say, probably was excited, seems like the suspicion, „we guessed that it possibly was Unidentified Flying Object from other civilization.” “不知道,”克尔温的表情说不出的古怪,像是激动,又像是怀疑,“我们猜测它可能是一种不明飞行物来自别的文明。” Other civilization? 别的文明？ Jiang Chen gawked, immediately knits the brows to say. 江晨愣了下,随即皱眉道。 „Enlarges it.” “把它放大。” „Cannot achieve.” Kelvin shakes the head. “做不到。”克尔温摇了摇头。 „Can't achieve?” Jiang Chen gawked under. “做不到？”江晨愣了下。 Kelvin had not explained that but chose concealed directly to Jiang Chen looked, patted the racket to sit in front of him the chair of that staff, hinted him to adjust the focal distance of telescope, hauled in Unidentified Flying Object in lens. 克尔温没有解释,而是选择了直接掩饰给江晨看,拍了拍坐在他前面那位工作人员的椅子,示意他调整望远镜的焦距,将镜头中的不明飞行物拉进。 Then mysterious, making Jiang Chen stare in a big way the eyes. 接下来神奇的一幕,让江晨不禁瞪大了双眼。 With hauling of lens, lens central Unidentified Flying Object had the phenomenon of picture tearing. After the distance breaks some boundary, sees only that pitch-dark Unidentified Flying Object, looked like hits the code the same as start then fuzzily, to vanish from the picture finally simply. 随着镜头的拉进,镜头中央的不明飞行物出现了画面撕裂的现象。当距离突破某个界限之后,只见那个漆黑一团的不明飞行物,就像是打了码一样开始便模糊,最后干脆从画面中消失了。 Yes, vanished directly. 是的,直接消失了。 Continued silent some little time, when that staff the lens move back, Jiang Chen open the mouth to say again towering. 沉默持续了好一会儿,在那名工作人员将镜头重新拉远的时候,江晨突兀地开口道。 „Optical Stealth.” “光学隐形。” „Yes,” Kelvin nods dignified, „we also think.” “是的,”克尔温神情凝重地点了点头,“我们也是这么想的。” Only looked from this point, removed this aerospace before thoroughly is, Soviet Union or possibility of United States launch. At present grasps mature Optical Stealth, only has Star Ring Trading and Future Group. 光从这一点上看,就彻底排除了这个航天器是前苏联或者美国发射的可能性。目前掌握了成熟的光学隐形的,只有星环贸易和未来人集团而已。 „This Unidentified Flying Object can the optical observation, temporarily actually our technologies unable to analyze that is what action mechanism, but one thing is certain, this function should received the damage for some reasons, otherwise we should unable to notice completely it is right, rather than like the present, can see the most spherical in the specific distance black shadow.” “这个不明飞行物能够光学观测,我们的技术暂时无法解析那究竟是什么作用机理,但有一点可以肯定,这项功能应该是因为某种原因受到了损伤,否则我们应该完全看不到它才对,而不是像现在这样,在特定的距离能看到一个近似球形的黑影。” At this point, Kelvin stopped the moment, said own guess. 说到这里,克尔温停顿了片刻,说出了自己的猜测。 „If this explanation establishment, then the remaining one possibilities are, this should be some Unidentified Flying Object wreckage.” “如果这种解释成立,那么剩下的一种可能性就是,这应该是某个不明飞行物的残骸。” Looks at that black shadow in screen, after Jiang Chen pondered long time, opens the mouth to say. 看着屏幕中的那个黑影,江晨沉思了良久后,开口道。 „Has the means to pick it?” “有没有办法将它捡回来？” Kelvin looks the embarrassment, shakes the head to say. 克尔温面露难色,摇头道。 „Was too far, it is away from our straight distances to be the 30 million kilometer, the cruising radius of our Electric Ray 1 series of aerospace be only the 1 million kilometer, is unable to be competent the flight outside cislunar Artillery System, let alone brought it.” “太远了,它距离我们的直线距离足足有三千万公里,我们的电鳐一系列航天器的巡航半径只有一百万公里,根本无法胜任地月系统外的飞行,更别说将它带回来了。” „Is only has a look well.” Jiang Chen looked to Kelvin, „we at least must know that actually above was anything.” “只是上去看看也好。”江晨看向了克尔温,“我们至少得知道上面究竟是什么。” At least must compare other countries first to know, actually above has anything. 至少得比其它国家先知道,上面究竟有什么。 After pondering for a long time, Kelvin sighed, opens the mouth to say. 沉思了许久后,克尔温叹了口气,开口道。 „Theoretically, the r400 ion drive engine of Electric Ray 1 series of aerospace uses has the ability of interplanetary navigation. With the aid of the Space Elevator ball embrasure in a blockhouse, accelerating to second Cosmic Speed is separated from cislunar Artillery System is not difficult. But the key is the Electric Ray 1 battery, by the computation of Quantum Computer, its energy just enough a round-trip. Execution this flight mission, this will have very big probability forcefully is one -way ticket.” “理论上来说,电鳐一系列航天器使用的r400离子推进引擎已经具备了星际航行的能力。借助太空电梯的弹射口,加速到第二宇宙速度脱离地月系统并不困难。但关键是电鳐一的电池,根据量子计算机的计算,其的能源刚刚够一次往返。强行执行这次飞行任务,这将有很大概率是一张单程票。” Once is unable to return, that was drift Cosmos in the true sense, almost can under the Death certificate. 一旦无法返航,那就是真正意义上的漂流宇宙了,几乎可以下死亡证明书。 Thought a moment later, Jiang Chen made the decision. 思索了片刻之后,江晨做出了决定。 „Chooses the volunteer from Star Ring Trading active duty pilot.” “从星环贸易现役飞行员中挑选志愿者。” „Participates in this top-secret flight mission, returns alive or not, the military rank rises Level 3 automatically.” “参加这次绝密飞行任务者,无论生还与否,军衔自动上升三级。” „In carrying out in mission Electric Ray 1 installs Hibernation Cabin. If determines unable to return, allowing activate(d) to freeze the dormancy procedure/program, will send our volunteer to the future.” To be continued. “在执行任务的电鳐一内安装休眠仓。若判定无法返航,允许启动冷冻休眠程序,送我们的志愿者去未来。”未完待续。 ... ...
