Yue Yuan only proposed the general direction of the plan based on Xu Zhenyi's idea at the time. He didn't participate in the formulation of the real detailed plan. After the plan was completed, he did read it in detail, but the calculation process, such as whether to consider the energy consumed by certain factors, was not reflected in the plan.
Now Yue Yuan is afraid that the scientific team didn't consider this period of time.
Without Gan De needing to explain further, Yue Yuan, who had a very good scientific literacy, could think of many key points here.
For example, to hide behind Callisto to avoid the material ejection from the Centaurus Trinary Star System explosion, it must be ensured that the spacecraft is always on one side of Callisto.
Although Yue Yuan couldn't calculate specific scientific parameters, he understood that achieving this goal was not easy.
Since the orbital motion must be around Callisto, in order to hide behind Callisto and avoid that round of impact, there must be a sufficiently high orbit. This orbital radius must be calculated precisely to ensure that the spacecraft is running behind Callisto during the time when the strongest impact sweeps over.
If this time is really not enough, then enough fuel is needed to propel the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft temporarily changes its orbit and remains behind Callisto.
"Chief, don't worry, we have the observation data from the Astronomical Observatory, and we have taken it into consideration," the main person in charge of the plan formulation replied, "In the plan, the period from the completion of the spacecraft construction to the arrival of the impact is calculated based on the energy consumption during hibernation. As for the unspecified departure time, it is because..."
"Okay, well done, I know what you mean." Yue Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then pressed his hand down, indicating that he already understood and didn't need to say any more.
The departure time, of course, depends on the time of the relocation and transfer work after everyone wakes up from collective hibernation. As for what relocation and transfer, of course, it is the relocation of all mankind to the spaceship.
Yes, after the spaceship is built, people can't go up directly. Instead, they need to hibernate on Callisto for more than twenty years, waiting for the material ejection impact of the Centaurus Trinary Star System to pass before moving to the spaceship.
Logically speaking, humans should hibernate first, and then build the spaceship after the material ejection impact has passed, which would be more secure, but the level of human technology has given humans the confidence to reverse the order.
Four point three light-years is far enough, and the material ejection has become very thin when it arrives here. With the current material technology of mankind, as long as Callisto blocks it slightly, the spaceship can be worry-free.
On this point, we must thank Xu Zhenyi's team for their contribution to material science since the disaster occurred. The environment and the need for survival have enabled mankind to make breakthrough progress in anti-gamma ray materials and anti-shock wave structural design.
It can be regarded as a rare leap in technology among many regressive technologies.
"If there are no problems, then please vote on the plan." Seeing that the meeting time was almost up, Yue Yuan directly announced the final procedure.
The result of the vote was no suspense.
Of the 8,104 people present, 8,102 voted in favor, and 2 abstained, which was unanimously approved.
In fact, if it is a general plan decision, it is not necessary to hold an expanded meeting for voting, but this kind of plan is of great importance, and in order to make up for omissions, a general meeting was held for voting.
After the plan is approved, the next step is the work of the Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Education.
The Propaganda Department will publicize the necessity and importance of the plan to all mankind. At the same time, the Ministry of Education will begin to carry out supporting skills training related to the plan.
Of course, the active cooperation of other departments is also indispensable.
In the next six months, mankind will complete all the preparations for the Hibernation Plan, including who needs to hibernate, how many years to hibernate, how many times to wake up, the determination of equipment maintenance personnel during the period, safety protection, and the New Government operation methods, and so on.
Under the leadership of the New Government, the entire human society is included in the overall plan.
Time came half a year later.
At this time, inside the Callisto Base, all preparations have been made. Except for the supporting factories related to the construction of the spaceship, they have basically entered a semi-dormant or completely dormant state. One by one, brand-new Hibernation Pods are neatly placed in Hibernation Rooms, and people are waiting for the countdown to hibernation to reach zero.
"Professor, I have thought about this paper. Can the main argument and several sub-arguments be designed like this? Also... and... If you think the suggestion is feasible, maybe it can be published before hibernation."
"Wen Wen, the hibernation room you are assigned to will start letting people in in more than three hours. Everyone else has started going there. Do you still have time to think about this? I think you should hurry up and prepare. It's not too late to talk about the paper after you wake up."
"I'm all ready, and the Hibernation Pods are assigned by number. What's the difference between going earlier and going later? It will be thirty years before it is published after hibernation."
"Thirty years? I remember you were assigned to short-term hibernation. How did it become thirty years?"
"It's thirty years. Xiao Yu is the one with short-term hibernation. You remembered it wrong, Professor."
"Is that so? I'm getting old and can't remember clearly. In that case, then publish it."
Ma Dongzhen walked towards the outside of the base. On the way, he heard many pre-hibernation conversations, some hugging and saying goodbye, some diligently teaching, some sighing about the passage of time, but it was the first time he had heard of someone caring about the publication of a paper before hibernation.
However, he didn't stop, but just sighed in his heart that the New Government doesn't support idlers, and then continued to the Airtight Compartment leading to the outside of the base.
Unlike others, Ma Dongzhen is not going to hibernate, he is going to space.
After years of hard work, Ma Dongzhen successfully transformed from an ordinary worker into a remote mechanical operator belonging to the Engineering Department.
In the New Humans family, a remote mechanical operator is actually a good job, but Ma Dongzhen is not satisfied, especially after the White Paper on Application Standards for Life-Related Technologies came out, he had a new goal.
If there are no accidents, it is difficult for ordinary remote mechanical operators like him to have a chance, because the standard says that scientists or those who promote human technological progress are basically given priority.
But this spaceship construction task gave him this opportunity. As long as he accumulates enough contributions in this spaceship construction, he can get the qualification to use it in the future.
Once he gets this qualification, it is equivalent to a long-term life guarantee. Even if he doesn't live to the moment when the technology matures, he will be frozen when he is about to get old.
The temptation was simply too great, and Ma Dongzhen couldn't resist, so he volunteered to participate in the spaceship construction work, the kind that didn't involve hibernation.
There were many others like him, mostly lured in by the White Paper on Application Standards for Life-Related Technologies, so the competition was still fierce.
To the point that the New Government had to use functional assessments to weed out the excess people, which rendered the rotation rehearsals in the Hibernation Plan useless.
