In mid-June, a week had passed since the completion of the stargate.
In the past week, Celestial Trade conducted repeated experiments on the stability of the stargate and the safety of the neutrino channel through various technical means. Finally, after ensuring that everything was foolproof, the flight between Celestial City and Tiangong City was renamed "Peace", and it was officially docked with the neutrino channel.
At this moment, on Peace, the passengers who had boarded the ship were standing in the hibernation chamber, preparing to complete the final steps of hibernation under the guidance of the flight attendant. Although the flight attendant repeatedly assured that there would be no problems with the hibernation chamber, just like the previous few times, there were people who refused to use the hibernation chamber and even preferred to sleep on the floor.
Even if the flight attendant repeatedly stressed that all hibernation chambers were absolutely safe, and there had been no accidents so far.
"I don't care. In short, I just don't want to lie in this thing. If I don't wake up after lying in it, can you afford this responsibility?!" The man with a beer belly said to the flight attendant aggressively and put on an obviously resistant attitude.
Standing next to him was probably his wife, and the expression on her face was also vigilant. Judging from the way the two dressed, they were planning to travel to Sky City. After all, in this era, space tourism was still a rare thing.
In front of the two, the flight attendant patiently explained to the two that the hibernation chamber was absolutely safe. However, the two obviously put on a stubborn attitude and refused to lie in the hibernation chamber no matter what.
The commotion here attracted the attention of other passengers.
Many people looked at the two of them as if they were watching a good show.
"Lying in the hibernation chamber and not waking up? This joke is really lame. " Standing not far away, the thin and tall man, while hanging the respirator around his neck, shook his head with a smile.
"You don't say." The man in his thirties standing next to him, after hearing what he said, joked, "There has always been this kind of saying on the Internet. It seems that some people will have an allergic reaction when lying in the hibernation chamber, and they will eventually be frozen into ice cubes. In order not to cause disputes, Celestial Trade dumped these frozen people on the way … "
"There are actually people who believe in this kind of thing?" The tall, thin man laughed and said with a look of disbelief, "This is even more ridiculous than the urban legends."
"Don't take it seriously. This thing is just a joke." The man in his thirties waved his hand. "Have you been to Tiangong City before?"
"It's the second time. I'll probably stay longer this time." Thinking of the mission given to him by the company, the tall and thin man couldn't help but feel excited. The last time he went to Tiangong City, he was shocked by the abundance of resources there. Just in time for the opening of Tiangong City to accept foreign capital, he would not easily let go of this cake.
The activation light of the hibernation cabin lit up, interrupting their conversation.
He rested the back of his head on the backrest as the translucent cabin door slowly closed. He felt a slight chill on his skin, and soon his vision fell into darkness. When these people opened their eyes again, they were already at the port of the Mars space elevator.
For the people who used the hibernation capsule, space travel was just a matter of opening and closing their eyes.
…
"How do you usually deal with such a situation?" Standing in the Space Command Center of Celestial City, Lin Lin looked at the surveillance video on the holographic screen with great interest.
For a person from the future from the 22nd century, it was undoubtedly quite novel to see someone refuse to use the hibernation cabin. It was like a modern person going to a primitive tribe and seeing someone refuse to take photos, and the reason for the refusal was that the camera would suck away the person's soul …
"There is a rest area on the transport ship MIR. Passengers who refuse to sleep can be provided with beds, public toilets, and showers, as well as nutrient supply. Of course, if passengers are not satisfied with the food, they can also pay for vacuum-packed cooked food. " Jiang Chen paused, then continued with a smile, "But I can guarantee that the food on MIR must be much more expensive than on the train."
While he was talking, the two passengers in the surveillance screen had already put on a victorious attitude. They followed behind the flight attendant and walked to the rest area with several other passengers who refused to use the hibernation cabin.
However, the two of them didn't know that in two days, they would regret the decision they had made. Apart from those who lost weight or were vegetarians, almost no one could tolerate nutrient supply as a staple food for more than a week.
The price of vacuum-packed cooked food on MIR was almost five times that of outside.
Not only that, but the water for showers and drinking water used on MIR were all charged …
The engine at the rear ejected a faint blue arc, and MIR began to slowly accelerate. After adjusting its direction under the ejection of the engine at the bottom, it moved in the direction of the stargate. When the bow of the ship passed through the ring, the light and shadow were elongated forward under the effect of time dilation. When the hull was completely submerged into the neutrino channel, the speed of the entire starship suddenly increased, and it quickly disappeared into the boundless starry sky.
"So fast!" Lin Lin looked at the blue dot gradually disappearing from the floor-to-ceiling window. Her eyes were filled with excitement, and the tip of her nose was almost stuck to the glass window. Until the blue dot completely disappeared, she looked back at Jiang Chen, still not fully satisfied, and exclaimed, "If I have the chance, I must go to Tiangong City … the ruins of the Gaia civilization, right? It's incredible. "
"Okay, let's go if you've seen enough."
Jiang Chen patted Lin Lin on the shoulder, turned around, and walked out the door.
"What are we going to see next? Are there any fun places in Celestial City? "Lin Lin chased after Jiang Chen in high spirits.
Since the day they made their relationship clear, Lin Lin's attitude was much more enthusiastic than before. If it was before, whenever the two were together, Lin Lin would not be able to control her sharp tongue. However, since that day, she seemed to have completely forgotten this skill. Other than occasionally bickering with Xiaorou and Sun Jiao, she completely became an obedient girl in front of Jiang Chen.
At first, Jiang Chen was quite uncomfortable, but now he was almost used to her change.
"Let's go to the gravity-free section. There's a laboratory of Future Heavy Industries there. I guess you'll like it there."
"A laboratory in the 21st century? What's there to see? "Lin Lin muttered," Isn't there a little romantic? I heard that you took Sister Sun Jiao to Penglai City, but you didn't take me with you. "
Should it be said that the digitalized human had a good memory, or that Lin Lin was too narrow-minded?
It had been a while, but she was still brooding over it.
"I'll take you there tomorrow." Jiang Chen was speechless. "Didn't Ayesha accompany you several times? You don't have to talk about it every day. "
"It's not the same. It doesn't feel like a date at all when I go with a girl." Lin Lin proudly raised her head. "Anyway, it's a deal. You can't go back on your word … Ouch!"
Lin Lin was gently knocked on her forehead. She pouted, made a face at Jiang Chen's back with dissatisfaction, and trotted to catch up.
