Chapter 716
《Congratulations Umbrella! 》
《A giant step forward for civilization!》
《The human spaceship launched by Umbrella has made its maiden voyage! 》
The Starship Represents the Future
The successful launch of the two spacecraft also attracted overwhelming praise.
There is no doubt that Starship II can only be a supporting role to set off Alphard I.
All the praise in the article revolves around the spiraling Star I spacecraft!
Even other top aerospace organizations gave high praise and expressed congratulations.
It is so easy to assemble, so easy to unfold and start rotating forward. Although this spacecraft is still unmanned, it has all the conditions for manned long-distance voyages!
People will experience various physical conditions when they stay in a weightless environment for a long time, but the opponent's rotating structure can overcome this to some extent by using centripetal force. As long as the rotation speed is set appropriately, it can be fully simulated.
In fact, the size of Starship II is not small because it is launched from space, but it has been equipped with many equipment and even has nuclear strike capabilities.
But compared with the magnificent Xingxiu I, the gap is really too big.
Fishing boat next to the aircraft carrier!
No wonder it became the background board in the report.
In NASA's conference room, a group of people looked at Umbrella's giant spaceship and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really amazing. Their spacecraft should be an unmanned test spacecraft. It is even very likely that it has all the functions, and it is full of robots to assist in control and environmental testing."
"The gap has been widening, and the spacecraft they sent over this time was probably not just for testing and attacking. I'm afraid there are other reasons."
"Asteroid minerals. If we build a space elevator but don't mine asteroids, that would be a waste of resources ."
"Usually we have to wait so long for launch because we don't have enough weight and energy. With their size, solar panels, and thrusters, the acceleration time can obviously be extended, and the speed is much faster..."
When moving forward in space, you can almost always speed up as long as you apply thrust!
It’s just that previous Mars probes, or probes beyond them, were all launched via rocket acceleration, and their mass was limited, so the speed they could provide was also limited.
The probe's thrusters are mainly used for directional adjustments, and the main acceleration is still done by rockets.
But now people are accelerating directly in space. Although the mass is also large, the acceleration time can be obviously extended.
The actual round trip speed is far greater than that of a normal detector!
For example, the distance of Mars during its perigee is about 55 million kilometers, which is hundreds of times the distance between the Earth and the Moon and thousands of times the distance between the synchronous satellite orbit.
However, this distance will not be affected by much external force. If half of the journey is accelerated and the other half is decelerated, it is enough to control the time within half a month.
However, it takes more than 200 days to launch a Mars probe from the Earth's surface.
Given the size of this spacecraft, it is completely feasible to go to some asteroids for mining!
This is especially true for asteroids containing some precious metals.
Although there are not many asteroids containing pure silver and pure gold in the universe, they can be found if you look carefully.
Even if the value of an item is based on supply and demand, the price will go down if the supply is large, but even so, this is still a huge fortune that can be created out of nothing.
But unfortunately, even if Umbrella is willing to open the South Gate, they do not have the technology to do so for the time being.
Besides, even if we manage to develop it, what should we do with the ore that is transported back?
Isn't it just possible to ask Umbrella to send it back?
Maybe that's what they were thinking, to encourage others to explore space and look for silver or something...
Just when all parties were excited about the appearance of Umbrella's "spaceship" and began to discuss it continuously.
The asteroid that had already come near Mars suddenly turned!
This surprised all the major observatories that had been closely monitoring the asteroid.
Many places directly issued public warnings!
"It's moving! It turns out that he is coming with bad intentions!"
"Turning? Why?"
"Oh my god, it's heading towards Mars!"
“…”
After various measurements and calculations, it was finally determined that the asteroid was turning and heading towards Mars at high speed and was about to be captured by the gravity of Mars!
Even Wang Yi, who had been paying attention to this matter, felt a little surprised.
"Has it noticed our departure? Has it been watching us?"
Lin Shiqin also appeared from beside Wang Yi and said
"It's probably true, and it's heading towards Mars instead of leaving directly. Obviously it's not because of fear..."
"Isn't it because of fear..."
Wang Yi frowned.
"I'm going to the abyss. It would be more convenient to have the abyss creatures confirm this thing..."
…
Enzo has been acting in front of the players until now, and has finally been assimilated by "Valhalla" and become a dog guarding the hall.
At the same time, he also gained his own new name.
Cerberus!
The hell watchdog in ancient Greek mythology!
She gained a name that matched the Hall of Valor and became the Dog Queen of the Righteous Path.
At this time, Enzo would lie comfortably in the square of the Silver Castle every day, accepting the worship of the players.
What adorable little guys, they are worthy of being the master’s followers!
How sweet is the power of faith!
Enzo himself is actually still the essence of a legend and cannot directly absorb the power of faith.
However, after being transferred through Valhalla, this conceptual artifact created by Wang Yi himself can still allow him to use this power in advance.
As for the poison of faith?
What the hell? The Abyss Lord himself is in a state of confusion, why would he care about these things?
What Enzo? I don’t know you. From now on I will be Cerberus, the master’s most loyal lackey!
Um?
The scent of the master!
Enzo's eyes suddenly widened.
But at least he still remembered his duty and disguise, and said in a pretentious manner
"I will go back to the Hall of Heroes and will be back soon. You all should remember that if you want to tame the Fire Hound, you must practice the taming technique to at least level five. Bring it to me and I will preside over the ceremony for you..."
After saying that, it immediately changed and turned into Valhalla, a stream of light that shot straight into the sky.
But after he finished pretending, he immediately turned into a little Pekingese and appeared at the feet of Wang Yi at the top of the tower, with an ugly, flattering smile on his wrinkled face.
"Master, you are here."
Wang Yi's eyes flashed with golden light. He glanced at Enzo and nodded.
"Not bad, you digested it well. Next, I will remove all the negative spirits in the faith and stuff them into your body to try."
Wang Yi’s words did not frighten . Instead, his eyes lit up and he hugged Wang Yi’s boots and began to lick them wildly.
"Oh, praise my Lord, you..."
"Stop. The aliens are already near Mars and are falling towards it. Come with me and see if we can sense what species they are."
Wang Yi grabbed Enzo by the scruff of his neck.
Wang Yi’s life essence is very high now, and his ability is also very strong.
However, it would be too difficult for him to directly explore and sense the 55 million kilometer magic-free zone.
On the contrary, Enzo, because he is the lord of the abyss, relies on the ubiquitous connection of the abyss itself, so he has a certain possibility of making judgments at this distance.
Besides, the faith that I have recently put in cannot be wasted, right?
Now that I am no longer restricted, it is reasonable for me to go out for a trip and take a look at the space elevator...
