When the brain is deprived of blood, it does not receive a sufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients. Therefore, any unmodified natural person cannot withstand prolonged periods of oxygen deprivation. The human brain will stop electrical activity after two minutes of oxygen deprivation.
Lin Feng activated the artificial heart that had been transplanted into his body two months ago through a virtual network. Blood was pressurized through the artificial heart, allowing more blood to reach the brain, delivering nutrients and oxygen to complete the internal circulation.
Before long, Lin Feng's vision gradually returned, although he could still feel the pressure on his body.
Connecting to the spaceship's mainframe via a virtual network, Lin Feng could see the scene outside the spaceship. The blurry, fleeting images were countless thin lines, but the scenery ahead remained unchanged.
The spaceship was still accelerating, and its speed was not yet close to the speed of light, meaning it had not yet escaped the giant magnetic orbit. Lin Feng confirmed this by observing the outside of the spaceship.
Lin Feng quietly waited for each passing second on the spaceship. The countless fine lines outside the spaceship gradually blurred, becoming almost invisible to the naked eye. The scenery ahead was getting brighter, like a light bulb gradually lighting up, from dim to dazzling.
The acceleration continued, as Lin Feng could still feel the overload pressure of 3G, indicating that the spaceship was still in the acceleration phase and had not yet escaped the giant magnetic orbit.
Gradually, the spaceship became completely dark, with only one source of light in front of it.
This light source is a circular rainbow, with infrared light (below the visible spectrum) at the center, gradually increasing in frequency. Once you reach the visible spectrum, you'll see a crimson ring, followed by an outer ring of orange, then yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet…
After the purple ring, there is an ultraviolet ring invisible to the naked eye, and then there is a gamma ray ring.
The star rainbow phenomenon, a cosmic rainbow formed by the aberration of light according to relativity and the Doppler effect, is a magnificent sight that can only be observed at such extreme speeds.
Of course, it was also extremely deadly. If it weren't for the structural radiation protection design at the front of the spaceship, Lin Feng would probably be dead by now.
When Lin Feng felt a sudden lightness throughout his body, he knew that the spaceship had escaped the electromagnetic acceleration of the giant magnetic orbit and entered the vast universe.
In the pitch-black environment, a spaceship resembling a flashlight was sailing. In the crater in front of the spaceship, there was extremely hot plasma. This plasma shield in front of the spaceship effectively blocked most of the high-energy rays and particles.
Lin Feng stopped the operation of the artificial heart in his body because using it in a stress-free environment would cause him to develop high blood pressure.
"Now I'm practically blind," Lin Feng said self-deprecatingly.
At today's near-light speed, radars that rely on the speed of light to spread radar waves are essentially blind.
At this moment, the only thing Lin Feng could determine about his current location was time. He calculated the spaceship's current distance using time, a process that was done autonomously by the computer. This was because human reaction speed is delayed, and considering the length contraction effect, a delay of one second could mean a delay of one or two years.
How far is it to travel at near the speed of light for one or two years?
The error is probably one or two light-years.
Therefore, this part can only be solved by the spacecraft's computer, with the precise measurement of three atomic clocks ensuring the accuracy of time calculation and position.
The spacecraft's deceleration is also entirely handled by the computer; the pilot simply does not have the capability to manually operate it under these circumstances.
"coming!"
Lin Feng sensed a heavy pressure coming from behind, which meant that the spaceship had begun to decelerate uniformly.
Not long after the spaceship began to decelerate, Lin Feng saw through the spaceship's sensors that bright stars outside the spaceship gradually separated from the cluster of light directly in front of it. They were first purple-blue, then gradually changed to cyan-yellow, and then became crimson, before falling behind the spaceship.
The Doppler effect becomes very apparent at this point. Electromagnetic waves are compressed when they approach and stretched when they move away, resulting in a color change between red and blue. This is a result of the constant speed of light.
Lin Feng unconsciously had a strange illusion that the spaceship was not slowing down, but that it was raining stars outside.
Generally speaking, the deceleration process of a spaceship would take a relatively long time, since it is moving close to the speed of light. However, due to the length contraction effect, the deceleration process appears slow to the outside world, but from Lin Feng's perspective, it is a very fast process.
This kind of changing scenery is similar to the spatial leaps in some science fiction works, which is wonderful.
If it weren't for the immense pressure from behind, constantly reminding Lin Feng, he might have mistakenly thought he was piloting a light-speed spaceship from the original story.
The spaceship's speed was decreasing further, and at this point, Lin Feng felt that the deceleration process was becoming longer.
This was not a subjective illusion on his part, but rather the length contraction effect began to become less noticeable as the spacecraft's speed decreased.
Through the radar onboard the spacecraft, Lin Feng was able to observe a general overview of the Trisolaran system.
Unlike his previous life, the triple star system consists of three yellow dwarf stars with similar mass and volume, each slightly larger than the Sun.
The distance between stars is a dozen or so astronomical units, but this distance is not very long for stars, and they are still within a gravitational system.
What impressed Lin Feng the most was the nebula in the Trisolaran system. The nebula material here was far superior to that in the solar system. The dense distribution of material along the flight path posed a considerable obstacle to the spaceship Lin Feng was on.
After traveling approximately two astronomical units further into the Trisolaran system, Lin Feng spotted something on the radar that was rapidly approaching him.
Through visible light observation, Lin Feng determined that the rapidly approaching object was a water droplet.
Then, a line of words appeared in Lin Feng's pupils.
Welcome to the Trisolaran system, Maple Taylor.
Chapter 235 You are like vipers
A spaceship was traveling through the dense interstellar dust clouds of the Trisolaran system, leaving a very clear track behind it.
Besides the spaceship that resembles a flashlight, there are also some smaller tracks around it, which are the tracks left by water droplets scattered around the spaceship as they flew.
The quantity is sixty pieces.
Having read the original novel, Lin Feng knew that the Trisolaran civilization did not only have droplets as a type of space unit; in addition, they also possessed enormous spaceships, which these sixty droplets could not even compare to one-tenth of.
"Why are there only water droplets? Don't you have any other spaceships?"
Lin Feng asked the void, and then a line of words appeared in his pupils.
The other spacecraft are undergoing routine maintenance; currently, only the Droplet is still performing its mission normally.
"How long does this kind of regular maintenance usually take?" Lin Feng asked.
[Based on Earth time, it will take approximately half a year.]
"So how much time is left for the maintenance?" Lin Feng asked again.
[Half a year.]
Lin Feng almost laughed out of anger. Even though his spaceship was traveling at near the speed of light, due to the length contraction effect, Lin Feng felt that not even a day had passed, but in the outside world, at least five or six years had passed to complete the journey.
Five or six years passed, and coincidentally, the Trisolaran fleet underwent a collective overhaul.
Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?
"Your spaceships have already begun a collective overhaul as soon as I arrived in the Trisolaran system?" Lin Feng asked.
【Yes. 】
"..." Lin Feng was speechless for a moment before finally speaking, "That's going too far. They don't even have basic diplomatic etiquette."
We have granted your request; a formation of sixty water droplets has come to greet you.
"The water droplets are too small, they lack grandeur," Lin Feng complained.
The Three-Body world has no grand gestures.
"What about the welcoming messenger? Who should I contact if I run into problems?" Lin Feng countered.
I am the messenger who welcomes you.
"..."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and didn't continue the topic.
The Trisolaran system is so large that Lin Feng couldn't even locate the Trisolaran parent star using radar; the nebula severely interfered with radar waves.
Where will we meet?
The water droplets will guide you to your destination.
The spaceship traveled a great distance, a journey that took Lin Feng longer than crossing a star. About a month later, Lin Feng saw a cylindrical structure resembling a space city.
As the spaceship approached, Lin Feng discovered that this was no different from any other space city. The spaceship docked at the starport without any obstacles, except that the space city was a vacuum environment with no air inside, just like any other space city in the solar system.
This is a vacuum environment, so for your safety, please ensure your spacesuit is airtight.
Lin Feng ignored the Zhizi floating on the sphere beside him. Wearing a spacesuit, he floated to the outer wall of the space city and used a portable microscope to examine the outer wall of the space city, directly analyzing the materials through microstructure.
"Calcium oxide, silicon dioxide, ferric oxide, aluminum oxide... Is this made of cement?" Lin Feng turned to look at Zhi Zi, his expression turning strange.
【Yes. 】
"Is cement also a commonly used building material in the Three-Body world?" Lin Feng asked.
No, this building material has a large molecular structure, resulting in a very low efficiency in utilizing its mass.
"If it's not cost-effective, why use this material to build the meeting place?" Lin Feng asked again.
[To ease your homesickness.]
"Then I should thank you?" Lin Feng was speechless. He had guessed that the Trisolaran world would be wary of him, but he did not expect that the Trisolaran world would be wary of him to this extent.
Lin Feng said angrily, "You might as well just say you don't want me to see other technologies from the Three-Body world. Using such a lame excuse will only raise my blood pressure."
Okay, I'll definitely do it next time.
"I……"
Lin Feng almost turned into a rabid person and started cursing, but in the end, he held back.
Don't get angry; it's not worth getting upset with these paranoid people...
……
Entering the space city and walking through it, Lin Feng, worried about being disgusted again, asked Zhi Zi for advice.
"We agreed before we set off that I could have face-to-face contact with the high-ranking officials of the Trisolaran world. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
[They haven't forgotten anything; the average Trisolaran's memory is twice that of a human.]
Please come this way; the governor and the others are waiting for you.
Zhizi, floating in mid-air, led the way for Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with Sophon's statement that "the average memory of the Trisolarans is twice that of the Earthlings," which was seen as a display of superiority, he was somewhat relieved.
If there's no new technology to watch, surely there should be something about the Trisolarans to watch, right?
The original novel did not describe the appearance of the Trisolarans, so Lin Feng did not know what they looked like, which naturally aroused his anticipation.
Led by Zhizi, Lin Feng arrived at the meeting room.
Wearing a spacesuit, Lin Feng pushed open the door and entered, but instead of seeing strange, alien-like creatures, he was greeted by a group of people in suits.
Some people's hair looks shiny under the light, as if they've used a lot of hairspray.
"Ah, this..."
Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded. Where were the Trisolarans? Where did those Trisolarans with transparent minds go?
“Welcome to our homeland, Maple Taylor. I am Consul 3049.”
