Chereads / Deep Into Space / Chapter 22 - Just Death

Chapter 22 - Just Death

When these words were finished, everyone howled in despair. No matter how stupid a person is, they can understand Jack's meaning... six months... everyone can only live for six months!

If the earth is gone, will the moon also be gone? So, where else can humans go? Some people started to cry, some people simply passed out, after so many days of hard work, so much painstaking efforts, just showed a little light, just had a little hope, but it was immediately extinguished... This is true for everyone. For humans, it is a devastating blow! No matter how strong a person is, he can't bear it at this time.

How can there be hope? Leaving the moon, how to leave? Does it depend on the Victory with a deadweight of 500 tons? Do not make jokes!

It is precisely because these people are elites that they understand the extreme difficulty of building a spaceship.

If the difficulty of building an aircraft carrier is 1, then the difficulty of landing on the moon is 100. After all, so many countries have aircraft carriers, but very few have the technology to land on the moon.

Today's most advanced spacecraft "Victory" integrates a large number of advanced technologies in the world, and its manufacturing difficulty is around 1000.

So, what about spaceships that can really travel between stars? The difficulty of manufacturing a spaceship that can afford the survival of 50,000 people is at least 100,000, and it may even be 1 million! Whether it's engines, materials, or power, none of human technology is up to the standard... This is not an order of magnitude, but a gap of several orders of magnitude. Impossible, impossible!

God, do you really want to make all human beings extinct? !

Jack frowned tightly, he had also experienced this kind of despair like a tide. However, he still overestimated the endurance of these elite humans. Emotions are contagious. When more and more people fall into despair, everyone falls into collapse... This is the big collapse after hope is shattered.

Humanity, is this really the end? No, never! The only one who can truly give up on humans is himself!

"Quiet! Be quiet!" He patted the table, seeing that everyone didn't listen to him, he felt ruthless, and kicked him violently.

"Bang!" With a slam , the entire table was kicked out!

"Give me peace!"

Now, everyone stared at him blankly. This was an instinctive reaction after falling into despair. No matter how high his IQ was, he couldn't think normally now.

"Why are you crying? Can crying solve the problem!" Jack roared angrily, "Has the moon been destroyed? Or have we humans become extinct? Six months! We still have six months to go! You should be glad , We caught this disaster early!"

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of death? If you die, you will die, and you have lived six months longer than others! What are you afraid of?! Isn't it just death? You want to spend time in despair and pessimism, doing nothing Live the last six months, or fight to the last breath like a warrior?"

"We must resist fate! Even if the road ahead is long, even if it is a cliff, we will never sit still and let fate hold us by the throat!"

"Find a way! You must think of a way! You must find a way! What are you afraid of? Death at worst!" Jack almost roared out.

People are stunned, the current human beings have almost nothing, and only one life is left, so what are you afraid of, what are you afraid of, the big deal is death!

During this period of time, he has always had a gentle and humble image, and now he finally shows the iron-like style of a soldier! "Resist fate!" This is a powerful slogan, and many people have a feeling of common hatred. Since God is so unfair to human beings, then resist! fight! Even if it fails, it's just death!

Just die, since everyone died together, what is there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, there is a raging fire burning in my heart.

It turns out that anger is stronger than despair. Some people blushed and patted the table vigorously, some were silent, just wiped away their tears and silently checked the formula given by Jack, and some clenched their fists and lowered their heads, I don't know what to think.

After a long time, Jack saw that everyone had calmed down, and continued to say hard-heartedly, "Now, the moon is no longer our refuge. If we want to survive, we must escape from the moon! But, as everyone knows, With our productivity and technological level, there is no way to build a spaceship capable of crossing the stars."

"So the only hope is that alien spacecraft. It is big enough and strong enough to hold all 50,000 of us. The only shortcoming is that it has no engine. To start it, we must Design and produce the spacecraft engine within a month!"

"It would be great if it succeeds. If it fails... Even if there is a magnitude 13 earthquake, or the moon and the earth collide, the alien spacecraft may not be destroyed, and we may still be able to linger in it for a while."

"But it's not a very good way out. Without external supplies and without a planet as a backing, how long can we stay in it? Ten years, twenty years?"

"So, find a way!" Jack slammed his fist down, causing a dent in the hard iron table, "We need a miracle, we must create a miracle, so that we can survive!"

Everyone fell silent. Everyone has seen that alien spaceship before. It is really big and scary. Let alone the distorted space inside, the diameter of the outside is fifteen kilometers. What kind of concept is this? It is almost twice as tall as Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, and 32 times as tall as the Oriental Pearl Tower!

What kind of driving force is needed to make a spaceship as big as a county and as high as two mountains ascend to the sky?

All scientists can be said to be a little numb to despair, and the confidence that had just been ignited began to dim again.

The upper limit of human technology now is the "Victory" spacecraft. The entire spacecraft has a load capacity of 500 tons, and the upper limit of its rocket's propulsion force is 5,000 tons, with a speed of 20 kilometers per second. This is still the case when there is a complete industrial chain. can be produced.

Finally, everyone was silent for a long time, and the chief physicist Felix stood up. He thought for a while quietly, and said:

"Dear colleagues, let me say a few words here. This alien spaceship is indeed, as Mr. Jack said, the last refuge of mankind. But it is too big, even if it is made of very thin materials As a result, the total mass may also exceed our capacity."

"But this is not the most important thing... The space inside the spacecraft is distorted, and there is gravity inside. Everyone knows that gravity is caused by mass. From this, it is speculated that there is at least a mass source of billions of tons under the spacecraft , to produce such a powerful gravitational force!"

"Gillions of tons! I'm not trying to pour cold water on everyone, it's really..." Felix said at the end, unable to speak anymore.

The faces of the scientists around all changed. An object with a mass of billions of tons... Imagine that a mountain is only one billion tons, and one billion tons is equivalent to ten million mountains!

Ten million mountains, this is no longer a question of whether you can bear it or not...it is simply impossible!

The same is true for Jack. He sighed deeply, his eyes dimmed, and his manpower was sometimes exhausted. If he really couldn't think of a solution, he could only stick to the spaceship. This was the last result he wanted... …
