Chapter 240 The Nature of Players: Courting Death
Gravity slingshot.
It is a scientific name in astronomy.
To put it simply, when you pass by a magnet at high speed, the suction force will change its direction and throw you out at an accelerated speed.
The same principle applies to celestial bodies in the universe.
But Lao E never expected to see such a thing in a game!
"It's really a gravitational slingshot. Has Honghuang even simulated this principle?"
"Shh~ Such a tough sci-fi game!"
"Most other science fiction games are based on high-tech products, but this game directly restores the principles."
"Fuck... this game is too awesome!"
“The physics students were blown away.”
After hearing the explanation from the professionals, everyone in the live broadcast room was amazed. It turned out that science fiction games could be played this way.
At the same time, those majoring in physics felt deeply moved.
If I had used this method to play with them when they were studying... Pah! They wouldn't be able to learn the principles well?
Just this once.
This game showcases the charm of aerospace technology, making many people yearn for it.
But this feeling didn't last long.
Old E's voice pulled them back.
"Forget it. I don't think the jetpack can get me back to the ship. So I'll use the force of the force to fly directly to the nearest planet."
The oxygen contained in the space suit will gradually decrease over time, and oxygen can only be replenished in places where plants grow.
So he had to find a planet with plants.
Without stopping, he activated his jetpack and flew towards a strange planet that was passing by.
However.
Not long after he flew out, he realized something was wrong.
The speed, which originally reached tens of kilometers, slowed down rapidly, and finally even became negative, getting farther and farther away from the planet.
"What's going on? My jetpack should be propelling forward at full power, but it can't catch up with its orbital speed?"
Old E was confused, as he remembered that the speed of the jet pack was not much slower than that of the spaceship.
Even if we can't catch up, it won't become a negative number, right?
He looked around curiously, trying to find the reason.
As a result, as soon as he lowered his head, he was scared to death.
Because right under his feet was the scorching hot sun, and he was captured by the sun's gravity!
"Gift Crab!!"
“No, no, no! No!!”
With a scream, the game character equipped with a jetpack fell directly into the sun.
After a burst of burning sizzling sounds, the entire screen was lit up by a dazzling white light.
Old E, who just said not to fall into the sun, actually fell into it, causing the originally quiet barrage of comments to burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
“It really fell.”
"There was a sizzling sound, and I thought the meat was burnt."
"Burn? Just vaporize it."
"Falling into the sun and burning to death is worth it."
"The underworld blows for a year."
Just now they were discussing what would happen if they were sucked into the sun, but the host immediately set an example and demonstrated it to them, making them laugh so hard that tears almost came out.
What’s even more interesting is...
White light flashes instantly.
A game prompt suddenly pops up in the lower right corner.
[Congratulations, you have achieved: Acquaintance]
What an acquaintance.
This achievement is specifically about your mentality, right?
Old E in front of the camera has finally recovered from the terrifying scene just now and feels like he has survived a disaster.
It was still very scary for him to be faced with that situation suddenly without any preparation.
"I just don't believe that I can't conquer this Sun Station today!"
This time he was completely at odds with the Solar Station. After looping back in time to before his departure, he boarded the spaceship and flew towards the sun without stopping.
Try again and again to get inside the Sun Station.
It was clearly an exploration game, but he managed to complete the flying challenge game, and the audience watched it with great interest.
The result was unexpected.
I don’t know which cutie spread this news to other live broadcast rooms that were also playing this game, and it immediately attracted the attention of many anchors.
…
"Is there a space base station on the sun? I've tried many times but failed to get there?"
"Interesting, I'll give it a try."
"As a physics graduate, I cannot afford to be low-key. Let's go to the Sun Station!"
"It's so difficult that there must be an achievement. I want to be the first to get it!"
All of a sudden, a large number of anchors and players who received the news began to flock to the Sun to challenge the Sun Base Station.
After all, such a novel experience as getting close to the sun cannot be achieved in the real world, but it is quite tempting to be able to do it in the game.
So very quickly.
The anchors gathered at the sun and began trying to log into the base station.
Tragedy of falling into the sun is being staged one after another.
It was not until then that they realized that it was really difficult to land on the Sun Base Station without any damage.
First of all, the base station revolves around the sun at a very fast speed, and the spacecraft speed must be adjusted to be synchronized with it in order to carry out space operations.
If you are not careful, you will be thrown out by gravity, or even fall into the sun and burn.
The second is the oppressive feeling of being in close contact with the sun.
It's like dancing on the line of death, exciting and scary at the same time. The adrenaline is surging like crazy, and many female anchors are screaming.
Finally, there is time.
They found that the size of the sun is not constant, but will continue to expand over time and eventually engulf the entire base station.
The operating time is only more than ten minutes.
This also proves that the sun is indeed on the verge of an explosion.
When it reaches a certain level, it will collapse completely and then become a supernova!
"From this perspective, space operations are indeed very difficult."
"I guess in real life, those astronauts are like this too, right?"
"Not only that, but you also have to go through all kinds of rigorous training."
“Hail to them!”
“It’s indeed a tribute!”
This game made them understand the difficulty of aerospace technology and space operations.
While feeling respect.
I am even more amazed by this game.
Because it has gone beyond the realm of general science fiction games and presents them with a colorful space from a realistic perspective.
This is the charm of science fiction games!
Ouyang Xiao, who was broadcasting live, also felt this.
At this time, she also controlled the spacecraft to fly slowly above the sun, ensuring that the speed was not captured by gravity while keeping a close eye on the surface of the sun.
“Here it comes!”
Suddenly, a black platform slowly rose from the distant edge of the sun and flew towards this side almost sticking to the surface of the sun.
Ouyang Xiao's nerves were tense. He immediately drove the spaceship closer and adjusted the speed to the same as the base station. He flew quickly above the sun following the base station, and the scene in front of him kept reversing.
"Be careful, be careful, don't get thrown away or fall down again, adjust the angle first..."
She tried this step countless times.
This time, I finally got between the two platforms smoothly, just a few millimeters away from the entrance of the base station.
But because of the sun's gravity and storms, even if the spacecraft used maximum power, it couldn't get close, as if there was a flame barrier separating them.
She had to maintain speed and pay attention to altitude at the same time, and her whole mind was highly tense.
Even the audience in the live broadcast room subconsciously held their breath.
"No, I can't get through even if I speed up. I can only try to use the escape device."
After several failed attempts, he was almost thrown away.
Ouyang Xiao finally gritted his teeth and pressed the escape button.
The next second, there was a bang.
She was ejected while sitting in the cockpit, and her direction was just right for the entrance of the base station.
"Go in! You must go in!"
She held down the jetpack button tightly to offset the sun's gravity.
But even so, the game characters were still blown up and down by the heat waves, as if their hearts were hanging in the balance.
fortunately.
She got lucky this time.
Before its speed returned to zero, it finally hit the gravity slab at the entrance and slid into the base station.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then became excited.
"It went in, it really went in!"
"Ejection with an escape device, is that even possible?"
"You're so lucky. I've seen many anchors can't even locate the track."
"It's not easy. I died so many times."
"I almost thought there was an air wall."
"Go inside and see what's inside."
Without the audience's urging, Ouyang Xiao came to his senses, immediately climbed up happily, and followed the gravity slab into the base station.
Then, a wide hall came into view.
[Congratulations, you have achieved: Flying Master]
[Congratulations, you have achieved : Abnormal login]
ah?
Abnormal login?
Isn't this entrance the normal way to enter the Sun Station?
Ouyang Xiao was confused.
The audience also had strange expressions.
Based on their understanding of the nature of the prehistoric world, it is possible that there are other ways to land at the Sun Station, and they should be easier.
For example, space teleportation.
This is completely possible with the level of technology in the game.
As a result, the players were courting death and not following the rules. They insisted on entering the Sun Station through this method and even skipped the achievement!
"Okay, I said this landing was a little too difficult. So this is a challenge arranged by Honghuang?"
Ouyang Xiao couldn't hold it anymore.
She worked so hard to get here.
You actually told her there was another way to go!
Isn't this the same as climbing a wall only to find out the door is not locked?
"Forget it. We're already here now. We need to collect clues quickly."
Seeing the sun begin to expand again and approach the base station, Ouyang Xiao did not dare to stop and continued to control the character to walk into the hall.
Then, she and the audience were amazed by the scene before them.
Because of the gravity slab, the player is now standing on a wall, directly facing the sun.
Through the fence next to the base station, you can see the full view of the sun up close. There is also a seat next to it for viewing. The shocking feeling is overwhelming!
After admiring it for a while at the fence, she came to the high-tech equipment nearby and used the machine she carried with her to translate the ancient civilization text on it.
[The star has reached the final stage of its natural life cycle and is about to enter the red giant stage. ]
【Warning: Evacuate the Sun Station immediately! 】
As expected.
This sun has reached the end of its lifespan.
To put it simply, it's going to explode.
Then Ouyang Xiao looked at another message.
[It is estimated that there are 3 minutes and 29 seconds until the solar station is swallowed by the expanding star. ]
[It is estimated that there are 15 minutes and 59 seconds left before the star dies. ]
hiss--
Is this all the time we have?
Ouyang Xiao took a deep breath, his sense of urgency instantly increased. He hurried to the stone slab that recorded the conversation information and began to check it.
The result is unbearable to miss.
This extinct "Nomai" civilization actually tried to detonate the sun!
[Idia: "We are fine, Yaro, but we are disappointed. Although I do not agree with the plan to detonate the sun to obtain energy, the failure of the solar station launch is not what I want to see. I hope our terrible work ends here."]
[Yaro: "Okay, you guys go back to the Ash Twins and take a rest. Spyer discovered that a comet is approaching this galaxy. We need to investigate ."]
Yes!
This sun station.
It was built by a previous civilization to detonate the sun!
And for some unknown reason, the detonation seemed to have failed, resulting in the abandonment of the Sun Station.
…
"These guys are probably a bunch of crazy scientists."
On the other side, Old E, who had just successfully entered the Sun Station, also saw this conversation and couldn't help but complain.
Now the cause of the sun's explosion has been found.
This must be the work of the Nomai civilization.
"It also mentioned the Ash Twins. Could that be their base?"
"Damn it, you want to lead me there, but I won't. Let's go to the place called Deep Giant Star first."
After completing the strategy for the Solar Station, Old E set off again, piloting his spaceship towards a blue-green planet with a turbid surface.
If he remembered correctly, that planet should be the one that appeared on the screen at the beginning of the game.
And you will see it once every time you resurrect.
There must be some important clue.
Especially after experiencing the Solar Station, he became more and more curious about other planets, ready to see what surprises were waiting for him.
After thinking about it, just pull the power to full.
Relying on the gravity of the sun, the spacecraft was thrown out and headed straight for the planet called "Deep Giant".
