Although it was just a test experint by Yixing Technology, the significance of probing the Oute Nebula was still trendous.
The Aerospace Bureau also participated in the mission, and they hoped to obtain so data to support the future navigation of spacecraft.
Zhao Yi just smiled at this, finding it quite interesting. When one is in different circumstances, one’s thoughts will change.
The spacecraft was also his handiwork, but now it seed sowhat outdated, mainly because manufacturing couldn’t keep up with research and developnt. It’s like how mobile phones need to be upgraded, where every few years new models appear, with technology and features that far surpass those from just a few years earlier.
The spaceship was in the sa situation.
Compared to the latest dium and small-sized spacecraft, the current spaceships felt a bit like ’classic cars’. Many people were still working on the spaceship, but the progress of cosmic exploration was very slow. To this day, it had only just reached near the orbit of Mars.
This distance was really too short.
It was understandable, though. When the spaceship was designed and manufactured, many technologies did not yet exist, and so of its core devices were immature.
Even if there were no technical issues, the spaceship was very large, housing many personnel who worked on board, aning absolutely no accidents could occur.
Precisely because of considerations for absolute safety, the security of the voyage had to be assured.
Coincidentally, the recent technological advancents of the past few years had been extrely rapid. Yixing Technology, in cooperation with the Aerospace Bureau, had made significant progress in space exploration, even having completed the construction of the Lunar Base.
Although the spaceship was capable of carrying people on interstellar travels, limited by safety concerns, it had not yet been able to conduct regular flights.
In contrast, dium and small-sized spacecraft didn’t face this issue.
For instance, soone suggested installing a high-energy Z-wave Generator on the Xuanhuang, which certainly wouldn’t match the power of a large spaceship, but would still be sufficient to support Xuanhuang in space shuttles, covering a distance of over ten thousand astronomical units each ti. With just six or seven shuttles, it could travel a light year.
Considering the energy accumulation during space shuttles, Xuanhuang could quickly travel to the nearby Centaurus constellation within a week.
Of course, this was on the condition that nothing unexpected occurred.
This plan was already under consideration by the higher-ups and the Aerospace Bureau because the necessary technology existed and could be imdiately applied in practice. What was lacking was information; they hoped for more comprehensive exploration data to ensure Xuanhuang’s absolute safety.
Zhao Yi did not express his stance on the exploration plan. He hoped it could be realized, but because it involved the safety of many lives, he could not simply express support without being sure of absolute safety in the voyage.
But it was definitely feasible!
"Perhaps we really could give it a try. What space exploration is a hundred percent safe?" he mused.
"If there is a plan, many people would surely sign up eagerly. This is a real opportunity to leave Earth, to leave the solar system!"
"Maybe I could try as well?"
Reflecting on it, Zhao Yi felt his idea was not bad. He definitely couldn’t ensure the safety of Xuanhuang from Earth, but if he joined the space trip, he could simply use "Law of Cause and Effect" to check before each space shuttle and foresee if it would be safe.
Reaching a nearby star system in a week wasn’t too long, provided that—
"There’s a breakthrough in the gravity generation device; otherwise, to hold out for a week? Maybe it won’t even last that long."
He realized he was absolutely not cut out to be an astronaut. Going to space again would definitely lead to vomiting and diarrhea, and he might even end up with an incurable ailnt.
Therefore, he must take the research on gravity generation technology seriously!
