Chapter 469 Star

Ever since Mo Dao built Qiusu Research Institute, he has basically lived within the scope of Qiusu Research Institute.

Even more so later.

The area within the Qiusuo Research Institute is like a small town.

There is also its own rail transit inside.

At this moment, seek accommodation within the institute.

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi were having dinner.

Sitting opposite each other, eating a relatively simple meal, neither of them mentioned anything serious.

Just talking about some trivial and daily things, or just enjoying the quiet time when each other is around.

After dinner, Qin Huaishi just stood up and asked Mo Dao,

"Do you still want to read in the study tonight?"

Mo Dao shook his head again,

"I'm a little tired tonight."

The two of them walked from the dining table to the sofa in the living room.

They were quiet, leaning on each other, and didn't speak for a long time.

There isn’t much action either.

The traces of the passage of time are very shallow at this time.

Neither of them paid much attention to how much time had passed.

It's just that the sky outside the house is getting darker and darker, so that the lights in the living room seem to be getting brighter.

Miss Qin Huaishi is the same age as Mo Dao,

The hands at this moment are also very old.

But just like the old face,

For Mo Dao, he remembered Qin Huaishi's appearance at every stage.

At this moment, Qin Huaishi gradually placed the hand holding Mo Dao's arm on Mo Dao's hand.

Qin Huaishi held Mo Dao's hand with some strength.

"Take me with you. Okay?"

Regarding the decision announced by the core researchers of the entire Qiusuo Research Institute, Mo Dao said,

Able to hide the truth from others, able to temporarily keep secrets from people outside the Institute of Quest,

But for Qin Huaishi, it was obviously impossible to hide it.

And this time,

Miss Qin Huaishi was just like her previous lives, Mo Dao did not dissuade her from making choices about life.

Moreover, she would never be willing to become an obstacle or burden on Mo Dao's life.

She respects and trusts Mo Dao's choice, just as Mo Dao respects her.

She didn't find any reason like others who wanted to follow in Mo Dao's footsteps.

She just said that she wanted to go with Mo Dao.

Mo Dao lowered his head and looked at Miss Qin Huaishi,

There is actually no problem in traveling with Miss Qin Huaishi.

Even in this life, the two of them have been to many places together.

This time, just go a little further.

But there is one thing that Mo Dao is very clear about.

When he passes away, Miss Qin Huaishi will still be alive,

In the vast and empty universe, this would be an extremely cruel thing.

Miss Qin Huaishi looked at him and didn't say anything for a long time.

Qin Huaishi also looked at Mo Dao, but held Mo Dao's hand tighter.

"good."

Mo Dao agreed.

Qin Huaishi smiled and said,

Then he said again,

"Actually, I would also like to see what it would be like in a more distant place."

Ms. Qin Huaishi, an outstanding biologist, also has a lot of expectations for the unknown starry sky and more distant worlds.

"Huai Shi, thank you."

…

In the intelligent era,

If the Qiusuo Research Institute is operating at full capacity, what kind of exaggerated efficiency can it achieve?

The construction plan of a long-distance voyage spaceship was quickly determined.

This long-distance voyage ship named "Star",

After confirmation, we quickly entered the theoretical design stage.

Almost half of the research team of Qiushi Research Institute participated in the design and development of this long-distance spacecraft.

Even after understanding the purpose of building this long-distance spacecraft,

All researchers knew that this was a spacecraft that could neither return nor carry its passengers to its destination.

But the researchers involved still designed the spacecraft with the requirement that the spacecraft could one day reach its destination, Proxima Centauri.

Even within the limits of existing technology, try to increase the possibility that the spacecraft can reach its destination as much as possible.

When the name of the spacecraft was determined,

The only two passengers on this spaceship, Commander Mo and Ms. Qin Huaishi, were also confirmed.

Everyone knows that maybe after this spaceship sets sail, it will lose its meaning soon.

But during the design, the researchers at the Qiusuo Research Institute still wanted the spacecraft to be able to operate stably and continuously for hundreds or thousands of years.

From the core researchers to ordinary researchers, no one from top to bottom thinks there is a problem with this.

Even if this means that the cost of building this spacecraft will be huge,

But what does it matter here...

Mo Dao was not very involved in the construction of this spaceship.

Nor did he reject the seemingly meaningless designs of some research institutes for the ‘Star’.

For example, they hope not only to store enough food on the spacecraft, but also hope to have an automated farm on the spacecraft that can operate continuously and stably.

And after the automated farm breaks down, it can still be repaired to a certain extent.

For example, they hope that there will be a signal device with sufficient power on the spacecraft to ensure that the spacecraft can still receive signals from the earth even after it is far enough away.

For example, consider the continued operation of the life support system of the spacecraft decades or hundreds of years later.

Even if everyone knew that Chief Master Mo and Ms. Qin Huaishi would not be able to survive until that time.

But...most research institutes still want to do some such meaningless things.

In these last few years,

I don't know what's more, I just continue to think about some issues in the past few years.

…

The penultimate year since the end of Mo Dao's life.

After the construction of such a long-distance spacecraft is actually confirmed,

The researchers at Qiusuo Research Institute seemed to be more anxious about this matter than Mo Dao.

After three months of theoretical design,

The Qiusuo Research Institute began the construction of this spacecraft.

The construction site was chosen on the moon.

The construction work is mainly carried out by the spacecraft construction base on the moon, with Suigu in charge.

This will also be the first spacecraft born in this lunar spacecraft construction base.

Gathering various resources mined from outside the earth,

Utilize or even further expand the scale of industrial clusters on the moon,

Suigu mobilized a large number of intelligent machines that continued to expand in scale to construct the spaceship.

Qiusuo Research Institute has mobilized the terrifying productivity that can be mobilized,

In this year, a miracle of the intelligent era was created.

The main frame of a huge thing was built.

This is a giant object similar to a near-Earth space platform.

As far as the lives of two people are concerned, there is absolutely nothing.

But most researchers at Qiusuo Research Institute think it is necessary.

The main structure is divided into two layers,

In lunar orbit, the Qiushi Research Institute completed its main body assembly.

The outermost layer is a basically closed structure.

The interior is an independent space relative to the outermost layer.

The entire internal structure can slowly rotate around the axis to simulate gravity.

The main activity area of ​​the spacecraft will be within this internal structure.

…

Then, the seventh to last year.

I went to the Research Institute and started filling things into this behemoth.

First is the reactor,

In this behemoth, Qiusuo Research Institute has placed a total of four helium-3 reactors, two large and two small.

Under most normal circumstances, a large reactor can maintain the overall operational needs of all parts of the entire spacecraft.

The remaining three are spares, and a small reactor can ensure the basic operation of the spacecraft.

Then, there is the electric propulsion engine,

On this long-distance spacecraft, researchers from the Qiusuo Research Institute used the most advanced electric propulsion engines.

But at the same time, for stability reasons, an electric propulsion engine that had been used for a long time was also installed.
