Chapter 476: Space Flight
Over time.
Although the Sapiens company used earthquake prediction services to strangle various forces, some small forces compromised, but the four major forces gritted their teeth and refused to give in.
After all, agreeing to allow Di Ting Company to set up a geological survey station and deploy monitoring airships within the country is tantamount to direct surrender.
Therefore, they would rather endure the damage caused by the earthquake than compromise with the Homo sapiens company.
Sapiens had actually anticipated this.
Anyway, the earthquake only caused the loss of some infrastructure and personnel, and the masters would not suffer any major losses. They naturally would not compromise with the Homo Sapiens Company for the sake of consumables.
On the contrary, they also spread the rumor that Sapiens is inhumane, profit-driven, and trying to use technological coercion to achieve its evil ambitions.
This method of diverting attention is a matter of opinion. Some people will believe it, while others will naturally not.
Especially those communication airships and satellites of the Homo Sapiens company, which transmit communication signals to all parts of the world around the clock, the difficulty for major forces to confuse the public will increase dramatically.
After all, the number of free mobile phones and free laptops smuggled around the world has exceeded 75.2 million, along with a large number of miniature signal receivers.
Even if all the major forces frantically confiscate and block them, there is no way to completely eliminate these communication devices that have flowed into the civilian population.
And the more they suppress, the more the people resist.
This earthquake prediction incident further deepened the rift between the master and the consumables.
The trend of wiring is getting stronger and stronger.
As for the Europa Union, they did not even shout the slogan of "cooking lard in a dish" but directly sent gangsters to beat up those guys who took to the streets to do performance art.
Because of this incident, the relationship between the Europa Union and the Sapiens Corporation further deteriorated.
The events of the Principality of Nimanya had already made the European Union very angry.
The incompetent and furious Europa Federation has set up a large number of bases in the Balkans to encircle the Principality of Nemanya, and has also blocked civil aviation flights from entering and leaving every few days.
In response, Sapiens Corporation will of course also target the European Union's civil airliners.
However, the management of the Sapiens Company had already anticipated the siege of the Principality of Nimanya and had prepared relevant response plans.
Nimanya Branch.
Bell City.
The town of Grozka is about 24 kilometers away from the city of Bell.
This small town on the banks of the Danube has now become a large station.
Lake, the regional general manager who came from Bell City, saw the towering Tower of Babel as soon as he got off the bus.
"Manager Lake, how are you?" Baisha, who is in charge of the construction of the Tower of Babel project, greeted with a smile.
Lake asked with great concern: "Hello, Dr. Baisha, is the Tower of Babel available now?"
"Okay, you have to trust the company's technology."
The two came to the surface area at the bottom and entered one of the cabins. Baisha's assistant pressed the switch.
Suddenly the cabin trembled slightly, and then climbed upwards. This cabin is similar to an elevator, using two cables to fix it and one cable to pull it up.
The inflatable segmented airbag with a diameter of 30 meters extends from the ground to an altitude of 30,000 meters in the stratosphere.
Obviously, this variant of the technical dandelion project is similar to the space tower project proposed by the Tot Company in Maple Leaf Country.
Through the one-way transparent window, Lake saw the people moving on the ground and the blue Danube River.
As the elevator cabin got higher and higher, the view from the ground became smaller and smaller, and he could even see Bell City in the northwest.
“This perspective of looking down at the earth is really amazing.”
"Looking at the earth from outer space will be even more shocking," Baisha said with a smile.
"The Doctor has also been to outer space?"
"Haha, Manager Lake, have you forgotten how I came to Nimanya?"
Lake immediately realized that Baisha came to the Nimanya branch on an aerospace transport plane, so he had naturally been to outer space.
The elevator passes through the troposphere and enters the stratosphere.
The scenery in front of me is even more shocking. It is different from the scenery when you are on an airplane. The white clouds are right under my feet, and I am still rising.
Empty and lonely.
And beneath the clouds, the surface that appears and disappears from time to time is difficult to see with the naked eye, and only some general outlines can be seen.
Suddenly the elevator cabin shook slightly.
Baisha explained: "Don't worry, this is a disturbance in the high-altitude air flow. Once you pass 20,000 meters, the air will be thin and this situation will no longer exist."
"Fortunately, the shaking is very slight." Lake expressed his feelings.
"The company attaches great importance to safety . This elevator cabin has several emergency systems and the probability of an accident is very small. After all, we don't need to pursue profits excessively." Baisha shrugged with a smile.
Lake deeply agreed with this. After working at Sapiens for a few months, he realized that the company's internal infrastructure investment was really huge.
Sometimes, for the sake of a little safety and comfort, companies will abandon more energy-saving and low-cost solutions and adopt relatively safe and comfortable high-cost solutions.
15 minutes later.
The elevator cabin reached the top of the Tower of Babel, a platform 30,000 meters above sea level.
The airship, with a diameter of more than 5 kilometers, forms a huge high-altitude platform with an area of 23 square kilometers, which can accommodate the takeoff and landing of 8,000-ton transport aircraft.
The Babel Spaceport has two 1-kilometer runways, four launch sites, and 12 helipads, which can take off and land various models of Feimiao aerospace transport aircraft.
Inside the apron.
Baisha brought Lake and his group into a Flying Mink 3 aerospace transport aircraft.
"This is a specially designed civil aviation version with a maximum take-off weight of 750 tons and a payload of 260 tons. It can carry 260 tons of cargo or 130 passengers."
Baisha introduced while taking a seat.
The next second, the seat seemed to come alive.
"This is a biological safety seat, similar to the biological armor you saw before, which can effectively resist overload."
Lake also sat down. Even though he was tall, the safety seat still wrapped his whole body. The feeling was wonderful.
It doesn't feel like I'm wearing a leather jacket, but rather like I'm wearing an extra layer of skin.
"In fact, the Feiming 3 has been optimized, and the overload will not exceed 4.2G. With the safety seats, passengers don't need to worry about their bodies not being able to withstand it."
"So that's how it is." Lake spoke and found that although covered with a biological protective layer, it did not affect their speech and hearing.
[Dear passengers, please take your seats as required as soon as possible. This flight will take off in 6 minutes...].
The flight attendant's voice rang out in the cabin.
6 minutes later.
The Feiyou 3 aerospace transport aircraft spewed light blue flames, took off from the flight deck, and then used the earth's angular velocity to fly obliquely towards the Karman line.
The Europa Union military base and the US military base that monitor the Nemanya area have long been numb.
The aerospace plane quickly flew out of the Karman Line, then crossed the entire Balkan Peninsula along the Karman Line, and finally landed at the Harij Space City under the Suez Branch.
The whole journey took less than an hour, which is much faster than an ordinary civil airliner.
Lake, who got off the space shuttle, didn't feel much yet. He was still immersed in the outer space perspective just now. He didn't expect the journey to end so soon.
However, he quickly came to his senses and did not forget that he came to see Chairman Li Qingye.
