The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 248 Upgrading
After listening to Jiang Yu's narration, Shi Qiang was silent for a long time, and finally raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother, for getting married!"

Jiang Yu clinked a glass with him: "This meal can be regarded as making up for the wedding party owed to you, and the share money is fine. I let you ask for a bargain. It is said that there is no need for share money now."

Shi Qiang smiled and said, "After I get used to the modern environment, I will give you two a congratulatory gift."

He poured himself another glass of wine: "I'll toast you for the second glass, thank you for taking care of Xiaoming."

Jiang Yu didn't refuse, and drank the glass of wine, he ate a mouthful of food before saying: "The Department of Star Defense paid you 200 years of hibernation fees back then, and now it's 'due' to wake you up.

"This matter is following the procedures of the Asian Fleet. Xiaoming, as a citizen of the earth, doesn't know about your waking up.

"Xiaoming also hibernated later, I asked You Ze to check the information, he woke up from hibernation a few years ago, married a wife and started a family.

"But I don't live in the dungeon. I'll give you his contact information in a while. You can find him after you get used to it."

Shi Qiang nodded: "Success!"

Jiang Yu sighed: "Tomorrow I'm leaving for Jupiter, and maybe I'll have to stay in Jupiter for the next three or two years, and come to drink with you when I come back."

After speaking, he winked at You Ze, and You Ze understood, took out three cigarettes from his bag and handed them to Shi Qiang.

Jiang Yu said: "The current electronic cigarettes are too difficult to smoke, these three cigarettes are for you, after you finish smoking, you can go to Mobei Farm to buy them.

"I've called over there, and I'll give you a cost price.

"By the way, Mobei Farm seems to still sell cigars, but I don't know if the taste is good or not, and they are all at cost price.

"Although this thing is considered a light luxury now, it should be affordable with your pension."

Shi Qiang accepted it cheerfully: "Then I will not be polite!"

He paused and said solemnly: "Bon voyage!"

"Thank you." Jiang Yu nodded: "You won't let you smoke this cigarette for nothing. I have something to ask for your help."

"You said."

"Teacher Luo Ji is about to wake up, I want you to protect him."

Shi Qiang was taken aback: "Isn't ETO gone?"

Jiang Yu looked at Shi Qiang: "You don't know how much ETO wants to kill him! If ETO keeps a hand, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Da Shi, this war is finally coming to a time when armies will meet. At this time, we can't take it lightly."

Shi Qiang also became serious: "Don't worry about going to Jupiter. Although I don't know what you are planning, but I support your plan 100%, and Luo Ji will leave it to me. I will guarantee him every hair."

Jiang Yu picked up the wine glass: "Come on! Drink!"

……

The next day, Jiang Yu reluctantly said goodbye to Shi Qiang, returned to Mobei Farm, and then took a shuttle to board the spaceship that had been on standby in low-Earth orbit.

Jiang Yu left You Ze on Earth, assigned him a mission, and left him all the armed robots.

After a few days of sailing, Jiang Yu met No. [-], which had been on standby in Mars orbit for a long time, and the fleet began to accelerate for half a month, heading towards Jupiter.

Even though today's nuclear engines have made great progress, and the fastest speed has reached 15% of the speed of light, the voyage to Jupiter still takes nearly two months.

The fastest speed is just the fastest speed. Generally, go to Neptune or the Kuiper belt to use the fastest speed of nuclear engines.

The distance from the earth to Jupiter is reached before accelerating to the fastest speed.

But it's not enough when the light arrives, you have to slow down!
So generally speaking, the voyage from the earth to Jupiter is first accelerated for half a month, and when it reaches about 1% of the speed of light, it starts to glide, and when it enters the main asteroid belt, it starts to slow down.

The deceleration process is longer than the acceleration process.

That's why Jiang Yu said that this is just a continuous crossbow, and the whole voyage process is exactly the same as the "Apollo" and "Mars Project" back then.

The only difference is that the nuclear engine does not require such a large fuel consumption, which makes space travel common, but it is still time-consuming.

Moreover, the solar system is always moving, and the planets are also moving. The flight path of the spaceship is not a straight line, but a semi-spiral parabola.

The distance of a parabola is naturally much longer than that of a straight line, which is one of the main reasons why space travel is time-consuming.

You Ze didn't follow, and the spaceship couldn't even form a game of cards, so Jiang Yu was bored in the room playing games, or sitting by the hanging window, staring at the star curtain outside in a daze.

When the voyage reached the middle stage, Jiang Yu found himself deceived by a popular science picture.

In many popular science pictures, the asteroids in the main asteroid belt seem to be very dense, but looking out from the hanging window, there is nothing.

When chatting with the pilot, Jiang Yu learned that the head of the spaceship has a steel plate to prevent meteorites from impacting. If an impact occurs, the entire spaceship can feel it.

But so far, no meteorite impact has occurred.

The pilot said that after driving the spacecraft for so many years, he encountered a meteorite impact and an asteroid.

But asteroids are only visible on radar, not with the naked eye.

Generally far away from the asteroid, the computer will automatically modify the course. These asteroids are like the icebergs that cruised in the ocean back then and could destroy the giant ship. Conventional spaceships cannot hit the asteroid, even with steel plates.

The driver's experience can prove that the main asteroid belt is sparse.

During this round of journey, Jiang Yu felt the emptiness of space for the first time. Although there are so many asteroids and dwarf planets in this area, the probability of encountering them is very small after a voyage.

When Jiang Yu was sitting in front of the hanging window expressing emotion, a line of words appeared in his mind: Detecting that the host has entered the main asteroid belt, the Wallfacer store will be automatically upgraded!
Jiang Yu was taken aback, what upgrade?
He quickly entered the Wallfacer store with his consciousness, and found three new items on the gray shelves.

The first item was a small gray fireball that seemed to still have a faint gray flame burning.

Unlocking this product requires 1000 million fraud points, and now Jiang Yu has accumulated nearly [-] million fraud points in hibernation.

A few days ago, I felt that it was a pity that there was no place to use so many fraudulent values. Now it's better, and I unlocked the product decisively.

The gray fireball immediately turned red, and there was a line of small words below: Overview of Barnard's Star.

Jiang Yu was taken aback, and quickly checked the information on the computer. It turned out that Barnard's Star is a star, about 5.8 light-years away from the Earth, and it is the closest star to the Earth except Trisolaris.

Jiang Yu was so excited that the hairs on his back stood up: "I really want to come here!"

The purchase of "Barnard's Star Profile" requires 1000 million fraud points, and Jiang Yu bought it without even thinking about it.

So a dark red dot appeared in Jiang Yu's mind, and there was a text introduction beside it: This is an ancient star with an age of about 103 billion years.During the tens of billions of years of burning, it exhausted most of its energy, and now it is just a red dwarf with a small mass.

Then the red dot was quickly enlarged, and Jiang Yu saw three terrestrial planets of different sizes, two giant gas planets, and an asteroid belt around Barnard's star.

Next to each planet, there is a text introduction. Although it is just a brief introduction to the situation of each planet, it is also very precious information for Jiang Yu!
