Chapter 715: Xingxiu I Spacecraft

It is indeed a big deal that Umbrella suppressed Da Piaoliang.

But Umbrella is able to obtain its current status, and even after Da Piaoliang bowed her head, it did not cause any protests or hostility from the people. In addition to the fact that Umbrella has always been "reasonable", another important reason is that Umbrella has stopped at the right time!

After the Grand Fleet was defeated and surrendered, Umbrella did not carry out further killings, so although this blow to the Grand Fleet was heavy, the loss was actually acceptable to them.

Overall, the damage is far less than that caused by the abyss invasion.

After all, that time, in addition to killing a large number of abyss monsters, Da Piaoliang also took a thermonuclear bomb herself.

Even now there are still some escaped abyss monsters that have not been found .

The damage caused to the United States by the New York invasion was enormous both immediately and continuously.

Financially, all of Da Piaoliang's cards were also squeezed dry.

It would be fine if we win against Umbrella later, we can just start to eat the meat and share the fruits. At least the overseas assets of South Korea and Japan can recover a lot.

But after losing, this is naturally the situation now.

With this huge psychological shadow, everyone is certain that the threat of the abyss invasion is much greater than the biochemical crisis!

So even though the alien visitor was handled by the tall man, he still attracted enough attention during the launch.

And because it involves the abyss, even the animal protection saints did not make any protest...

…

Geosynchronous orbit!

It is more than 30,000 kilometers above the ground, in an orbit that is one-tenth of the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

The magnificent Nantianmen has been expanded more than twice since it was first built!

It has been breaking its own record for the largest space building built by humans.

A large number of orbital robots are still floating in the synchronous orbit, carrying out some connection work.

In addition, some modules that are not directly connected to the Nantianmen are also being spliced and built.

The carrying capacity of the Nantianmen space elevator and the assembly capabilities of the robots are already there. The only thing that is limited now is the production capacity.

As for production capacity, in addition to the Umbrella factories in Penglai and around the world, when the last agreement to use Nantianmen for launch was reached, a large amount of module production capacity was also outsourced, which is completely mutually beneficial.

At this moment, in front of this space wonder with the starry sky as the background and busy orbiting robots as embellishment.

Starship II was also released directly from the space elevator.

The space elevator launched some modules directly into space in the same way as peeling an eggshell, and they were packed up and dragged away one by one by nearby space robots.

All of this was done in front of the tourists who had already landed in Nantianmen.

A large number of shots are depicting this process.

“So fast!”

"Is the rocket ready?"

"Isn't that Umbrella's speed?"

"After all, it's already a finished product, but why doesn't Umbrella launch one itself? Why let Starship II be the first one?"

"Hurry up and launch it. I have to go back to mining after watching it."

“…”

As the crowd watched, Umbrella's robots completed the assembly of Starship II on the launch pad at incredible speed !

It is called a launch pad, but in fact, there is no need to pay attention to up, down, left or right for space launch. It is more like a big clamp clamping the starship, extending far away, maintaining a safe distance from the Nantianmen.

There is no traditional rocket launch platform, nor any fancy stuff. Now it looks like the starship is alone and fixed in space.

There is no need to consider gravity, and there is no need to first figure out how to use thrust to send it into space. This is undoubtedly a great convenience!

"The first orbital space equipment launch of Nantianmen has started. The launch targets are SX's 'Starship II' and our company's 'Starship I', both targeting the unknown asteroid."

When Umbrella officially began to announce the launch plan, everyone was a little surprised.

What?

Umbrella also has its own launch plan?

Although this is understandable, we haven't seen the probe you launched yet.

On the other side, Masra, who was watching the whole process, also felt a little surprised. Then he widened his eyes and began to look for some clues, wanting to see what Umbrella was going to do.

But before he could think about it, after all, it was he who sent the Starship II and paid for it, so Umbrella still gave him the opportunity to countdown.

Masla, feeling somewhat nervous and excited, stood in his own launch center and began to count down.

Although he really wanted to count down for a while longer, he finally chose to start from ten.

"Ten, nine... three, two, one! Fire!"

Boom boom

Although there was no sound in space, as the starship was ignited, a dazzling blue plasma beam was ejected from the tail of the starship, slowly pushing the starship towards the deep starry sky.

However, the startup speed still surprised many people, and they left comments one after another.

"Huh? Not as fast as I thought. Isn't it said that you don't have to worry about gravity in space? But why does it feel like the speed is not as fast as in the atmosphere?"

"That jet isn't right either, it should be the Hall thruster."

"Such a large Starship II uses Hall thrusters? No fossil fuels?"

“…”

Masla seemed to be aware of some doubts, so after the ignition was successful, he asked the technicians to keep monitoring and issue follow-up instructions, and also posted on the social platform.

"This is the launch platform of Umbrella Corporation. We cannot leave too much garbage for the owner here. The flame ejected after the fossil fuel is ignited will not burn completely and will leave a lot of impurities. Maybe it won't cause much impact, but it's too rude."

After hearing what Masra said, everyone understood.

However, many people still have dark speculations. If someone else makes trouble when borrowing it, I wonder if Umbrella has any means to deal with it.

Just thinking about Umbrella's mechas and their various technologies is just an idea.

Given Umbrella's nature, they would definitely be able to catch the rocket on the spot and then throw it on the owner's head from space.

I believe that no one would be stupid enough to be criticized to such an extent...

After Starship II had moved away with the help of the Hall Thrusters, it was ignited again and a much brighter flame was ejected from behind it!

Then he pushed the starship quickly towards the depths of the starry sky, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

It was not until this time that Masra expressed his gratitude for the successful launch and thanked Umbrella again for borrowing the South Gate.

But at this moment, when everyone was curious about when Umbrella's probe would be launched.

Many tourists inside Nantianmen suddenly felt some vibrations in Nantianmen.

"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"

This place is 35,000 kilometers away from the earth!

At this time, even a slight vibration of the South Gate of Heaven would bring fear.

However, there was still an old bird who had come here many times and said in a calm tone:

"It's okay. It should be that a new module of Nantianmen has been completed. Sometimes this happens when a new sightseeing cabin is opened."

As he spoke, he pointed to the locked door of the sightseeing cabin they were in.

"For example, the splicing should be completed on the outside of that side. Once the splicing is completed and it is considered ready to be opened , the gate will be opened. I have encountered this before."

Although he didn't mention that he almost got killed that time, it doesn't hinder his extensive knowledge.

Nantianmen has been under expansion, and sometimes it needs to adjust its own position to keep the center of gravity balanced with the elevator below, so it is completely normal to have some vibration control.

However, after the tremor this time, a broadcast warning was also heard inside Nantianmen.

"'Xingxiu I' is about to leave Nantianmen and will have obvious adjustments. Please hold on to the nearby handrails to avoid being hit."

When these words came out, many people felt a little surprised.

'Altair I' launch?

There were no vibration issues during the Starship II launch, so where is the Alphard I?

However, before everyone could react, accompanied by a series of crackling vibrations, a burst of white mist appeared at the connection of the completed space capsule in the front half of the Nantianmen in space!

A structure formed by dozens of space capsules in front of Nantianmen suddenly separated from the main body of Nantianmen !

After being slightly away from the white gas jet for a distance, it then flew towards the depths of the starry sky under a jet of blue light.

As this giant spaceship made up of dozens of space capsules left Nantianmen, it gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone in the sightseeing cabin.

The silvery-white appearance gradually moved from the shadows into the sunlight.

A real spaceship gradually revealed its full appearance and appeared in front of everyone!

Swish~

With solar panels and solar sails spread out, the already magnificent size becomes even more magnificent.

"What the hell! What is this?"

"Oh my goodness, I thought it was also launched from the launch pad. Did they just cut off a part of the South Heaven Gate and fly directly?"

“Is it so easy to assemble and disassemble?”

"What a cool structure..."

"Look, this large spaceship is constantly rotating, and there is a pendulum-like cabin on top. In theory, it should be able to simulate a gravity environment inside."

"Is this a pre-launch for manned voyage?"

As Umbrella's Alphard I 'probe' began to appear in the same frame as the starship, the gap between the two sides became increasingly obvious.

It feels like there is a wooden barrel floating next to a proper ship.

This made Masla, who had just expressed his gratitude, twitch his lips.

this……

Do you think that I am also a company and it would be best to use me as a foil?

I just don’t want to save face?

But while wearing a mask of pain in his heart, Masra had to force a smile and continue to comment on social platforms.

"Congratulations to Umbrella for another technological breakthrough!"

"Thankfully, technology is in the hands of civilization..."

Not sending?

What? You just launched successfully, but you didn't even express your opinion on others' launch? Are you so brave?
