The airtight door connecting the passage was closed behind, and the ten astronauts flew along an ascending tubular corridor into the main control room in the big disc.

No matter on the home planet or in various places in space, there are people watching the live video, and now they are holding their breath.

"Advance to the base, Discovery is ready, request to start the engine."

"Approved, you can start the engine of the Discovery."

Captain Huang Qi was already seated in his seat. He flipped the switch on the panel and turned on several large screens first.

After the on-board quantum computer wakes up again, the status of the spacecraft begins to appear on the screen, and after all parts have passed the self-test.

Huang Qi pulled down the engine start hand brake in front of him, the spacecraft vibrated slightly, and ten seconds later, the artificial gravity device of the spacecraft was activated.

Everyone unbuckled the seat belts on the seats, and there was no need to tie them up with artificial gravity.

The radar officer began to activate the radar devices and exploration equipment at various distances, and provided the captain with the flight plan route.

The equipment officer began to report to Huang Qi the status of various equipment on the spacecraft.

The various robot warehouses in the spaceship were opened, and a large number of objects and logistics robots began to maintain the spaceship according to the programmed design.

Half an hour later, the inspected spacecraft issued a request to prepare for takeoff.

"Base, the Discovery spacecraft requests takeoff."

"Allowed to take off, Discovery wishes you a safe journey."

Co-pilot Zhao Xiaofei, who was sitting next to Huang Qi, gently pushed the joystick in his hand. The huge Discovery turned around lightly, left the berth, and flew slowly into the starry sky.

"Success," the base burst into applause.

There was also the shrill voice of the hostess, who almost praised these ten people as martyrs.

Zhou Lei mingled with the crowd at the advance base, looking at the excited host in front of him with a black line, if he said that this was just a flying maneuver that he had to do almost every day for several months, would he be beaten to death.

When the hostess saw Zhou Lei, she hurried over to ask the boss to speak.

"Director Chou, just say a few words to the audience."

Zhou Lei pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "Hello, audiences all over the world, I am talking to you at the Discovery Advance Base. Just now the host wanted me to say a few words to you. What I can tell you is that this is just It is a small step for us human beings. The future of human beings is in space, and the responsibility of our home planet is too heavy to bear our unscrupulous mining and destruction. In the near future, we will transport all kinds of ores and resources, and possibly crops and food produced by other planets. I believe that in the future, the home planet will get better and better.”

"Director Zhou, just now a netizen asked a question, asking if those docked at the spaceship factory are mining spaceships?"

"some are."

"Can you tell me more about it? We are all curious." The hostess put on a very curious gesture.

"Using CCTV's platform, let me do a wave of advertisements, and you don't charge money."

"Maybe there will be a bill coming to you soon."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Zhou Lei pretended to be stingy.

"Don't, just tell me, I didn't say anything about the bill."

"It's like this. We divide the spaceships into several categories. Discovery is a medium-sized spaceship, a type of work ship. We also have various types of transport ships and mining ships. If they are subdivided, there are almost dozens of types. "

"Is there any gunboat for military use?"

"No, and there are no aliens, so why do you make them?"

"There are really no aliens?"

"No, at least there is no sign of life within a few hundred light years, except for our parent star."

"Then how do you know?"

"It's like this. We launched a large number of exploration vehicles in the early stage, and we came to the conclusion after summarizing the data."

"According to my understanding, the fastest speed is the speed of light, right? Wouldn't it take hundreds of years to fly to reach those hundreds of light years?"

"It's true, but we have a new warp engine." Zhou Lei turned on the holographic projection on the watch.

A slender warp engine model appeared in the air.

"Audience friends, let's be shocked, this is the jump engine, an item in our science fiction movie."

The appearance of this item directly wiped out the remaining hair of a large number of physicists.

The theoretical principle of folding is still in everyone's mind, and a few people only have a general idea.

But now I saw a real product, and it looked like a mature product appeared on TV.

Everyone can't wait to ask Mr. Zhou to disassemble the engine and let them see the structure inside.

"Then Jay Chou, is there such an engine installed on the Discovery?"

"Of course there are. This engine is a basic model, and it is available on those spacecraft in the spacecraft factory."

"I'm looking forward to it. Wait a minute for the Discovery's jump flight. Thank you, Jay Chou." The host changed his posture and continued: "My friends, we will connect to the Discovery's camera later."

A few seconds later, the TV screen switched to the control room of the Discovery.

There are four people in the control room, Huang Qi is no longer in the position, he has gone to rest, almost fully intelligent control, no need for all the people to be on the job. Huang Qi and the others went to rest because of the waiting task.

Zhao Xiaofei took over the control of the spaceship, and he is driving the spaceship to the scheduled transition location.

The operation of warping still requires a large enough airspace, and the magnetic field fluctuations it causes will affect the geomagnetism of nearby planets. If it is on a planet with life, it may be a disaster.

The red warning light came on inside the spacecraft, and it was ready to jump and fly.

The other two warp engines also started to start, and the spaceship was still accelerating. The warp device installed at the front of the engine began to create a super strong magnetic field in front of the spaceship, eventually tearing apart the space.

Looking at the camera lens, the starlight that is constantly being zoomed in is blurred into a ball.

After a dazzling light, the spacecraft entered a new star field, which is different from the solar system, this is a galaxy.

"I know those stars. They are triple stars, Alpha Centauri, and they span more than 4 light-years in an instant."

"Niu B, it's amazing."

Several old astronomy bigwigs stood up from their wheelchairs in shock, while the skeptical physicists pulled out the rest of their hair, and the mathematicians felt that they had no way to calculate the equations of this leap theory. .

The spaceship began to slow down, and it happened to be not far from the triple star when it jumped over. This is a multiple star system composed of three stars, with two stars close to the size of the sun and a smaller star.

In the Alpha Centauri system, there are still many planets.

And the first exploration plan is Proxima Centauri B, a planet that is said to be within the habitable distance of the Alpha Centauri system. According to the reasoning of the scientists of the parent star, it is most likely that there are creatures similar to our planet.

The spacecraft has dropped its speed to the second cosmic speed, and is slowly approaching the orbit of Proxima Centauri B.

Relying on the characteristics of quantum data transmission, viewers in front of the TV can see the current situation in real time, without having to turn on the TV four years later.

Proxima Centauri is getting bigger and bigger, almost visible to the naked eye, and the sky above the planet is covered with red clouds.

This shows that there is an atmosphere on this planet.

"Captain, we have reached the scheduled orbit." Huang Qi returned to sit on his throne, and the radar officer Shen Yang reported the current situation to him.

"Equipment officer, launching near-Earth satellites and survey robots."

"Yes, Captain."

Equipment officer Li Guoqiang opened the equipment compartment and launched a rocket to launch a small near-Earth satellite into the orbit of Proxima Centauri.

Another large landing module was propelled into Proxima Centauri's atmosphere by several small rockets.

Immediately after entering the atmosphere, the sensors on the landing module collected a large amount of data on the composition of the gas.

"Captain, the report is out." Co-pilot Zhao Xiaofei displayed the gas composition report on the big screen.

"It's almost all carbon dioxide, the oxygen content is less than 0.1%, and there are a lot of toxic gases. Send the data back to the base."

"Yes, Captain."

After the base received the data report, it pretended to analyze it for a long time. In fact, so far it’s all just acting. Proxima Centauri has already built a simple base below, and there are already robots surveying minerals and terrain below.

Several geologists took out a document that had been prepared in advance and asked the base communications officer to send it back to the Discovery spacecraft.

Pulled by several huge parachutes, the landing module dropped rapidly. From the several cameras outside the landing cabin, it can be seen that the area below is almost red, with only endless storms and sand and dust.

There are also strange landforms that have been blown and eroded for hundreds of millions of years, a large number of hollowed-out mountains and terrain that looks like a devil city.

"It's terrible. This Proxima Centauri is definitely not suitable for human development. You can't get out just by looking at this hurricane."

"Yeah, I used to hold a little hope, but now it's all gone. Is there really no planet in the universe suitable for human migration?"

Netizens had many ideas, but most of them retreated.

The reverse thrust rocket of the landing module was ignited, which directly changed the descent speed of the landing module to a few meters per second, and then the landing module fell into the thick dust.

Where it is close to the ground, it appears to be calm.

The landing hatch opened, and a tall mech came out from inside.

"Sure enough, our army has Gundams."

"Plagiarism, this is Sunrise Country's copyright."

"Obviously it's Transformers, not Gundam."

After the mech came out, there was a supporting plate with self-propelled ability, which was filled with various substances.

The mecha began to disassemble all kinds of packed materials and set up the energy board. In this environment, the light energy of the stars may not work well, so the small fusion generator was started immediately.
