LIGHTNOVELONLINE NO.282 Anti-gravity engine
Sync rate 80!
This number is nothing in terms of controlling neuron machinery, but in terms of controlling spaceships, it is already very high. It is precisely because of this that Carl will become the first spaceship test pilot in Stellar City without any suspense. .
It is precisely because of this that Mark, the head of the space department, attaches so much importance to Carl, and even personally encouraged Carl.
But Carl didn't know this at this time. He only knew that he was the only one selected from a dozen candidates, and then he went through a month-long secret training, all to further improve the human-machine. Synchronization rate of interactions while avoiding experimental failure.
"The time has come, the ship's body is in good condition, and the person in charge of each department closely monitors the spacecraft's every move." On the holographic screen, a female voice sounded again, "Your Excellency Carl, according to my order, prepare for the countdown to the test flight!"
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Three, two. One!"
With the last reminder, Carl squinted his eyes for a while, and the nerve signals in the brain were completely connected with the neuron synchronization device. It was just a slight thought fluctuation, and the Apocalypse made a violent roar again!
At the same time, a weightless feeling suddenly came from the soles of his feet. If it wasn't for Carl's body being fixed by various devices, it would have been thrown into the air in an instant!
This is a reaction that will only occur in the state of weightlessness in space after leaving the planet, but the miraculous thing is that all this was born inside the planet!
If there are unrelated people who see all this, I am afraid they will immediately exclaim: Anti-gravity!
Anti-gravity has always only appeared in science fiction and movies. The reason is because the vehicles such as rockets and space shuttles made by people need to consume a lot of money and resources to send them into the sky. Therefore, people expect a technology that can greatly reduce costs to appear, and anti-gravity technology is the one with the lowest cost, but the least safety and cost.
Just some time ago, Stellar City accidentally obtained the anti-gravity engine of the Elysium while dismantling the 'Elysium'. After a series of dismantling and research, Mark and his scientific research team finally created the first A tiny antigravity engine capable of changing the stance of gravity.
But if you think about it, you can understand that the weight of the Space of Elysium is more than 100 million tons. If you don't use anti-gravity and other equipment, let alone lift off, even if it is placed on the ground, its huge mass will crush the continental shelf, and It takes endless energy to send such a heavy spaceship into the sky!
That kind of price.
It is definitely not something that the resource-poor human civilization in the deep space amnesia plane can afford.
In short, the birth of the anti-gravity engine can be said to be the most valuable achievement of human science and technology, apart from the adaptive evolutionary enzymes and the Elysium itself! At this time, when the anti-gravity engine was turned on on the Apocalypse, Karl felt a sense of weightlessness.
However, in the next second, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared out of thin air, but Carl's face was not surprised at all. He could only see that on the holographic screen, the indicator arrows representing gravity had been divided into two, one pointing upwards. One points down.
This is the self-adjustment judgment of the anti-gravity engine. Outside the Apocalypse shuttle, the gravitational force is upward. Even if it faces the earth, the spacecraft can not be bound by the gravitational force of the planet at all. Inside the spacecraft, gravity returns to normal, the artificial gravity used to keep the pilot from feeling uncomfortable in outer space.
At this time, outside the launch site, Mark and the entire aerospace department were silently watching the Apocalypse on the launch plaza. From the outside, the Apocalypse was like a metal ball without any edges and corners, exuding an icy cold throughout. Brilliant, and at this moment, the ball suddenly trembled, and then floated towards the sky at an extremely fast speed!
That's right, it's floating. Without the slightest reverse thrust formed by the jet engine, the entire sphere rises rapidly without external interference, like a bubble in the ocean, moving towards the atmosphere with a firm attitude. Float away!
"Speed: 1,300 kilometers per hour, and it is expected to enter low-altitude orbit in thirty minutes." The inspectors next to him automatically reported the situation of the Apocalypse.
"Karl, speed up, are you here for sightseeing? There's no need for testing at such a slow speed." Mark frowned, turning to look at the screen.
"Yes!" Carl on the Apocalypse couldn't help shaking his whole body, bit his head and continued to speed up the liftoff. Although he felt that the slower he was, the safer he was, but he came to test this, not for safety...
Whoosh!
After entering the atmosphere, gradually, a faint red light began to appear around the Apocalypse, which was due to cutting into the atmosphere too quickly and the heating caused by strong friction, but the outer shell of the Apocalypse itself was smeared with a thick barrier Thermal coating, so it was not affected by this friction, and still flew towards the outer sky unswervingly!
"At an altitude of 100km, the Apocalypse has already flown into the ionosphere." Hearing the emotionless report of the other party, Carl's hands were twisted hard, and he couldn't help taking out a necklace from his neck. This necklace was made of hemp The ropes are connected in series, and in the middle is a heart-shaped brass ornament. This thing was originally a handicraft that he took out of the garbage mountain many years ago when he was digging out the garbage. Maybe this thing was not worth much, but when his wife got this gift, she still smiled like a child, even like a child. The treasured one was strung with twine and used as a pendant.
"It's the first gift you gave me. Wearing it can bring me good luck." His wife's happy words kept echoing in his ears.
Later, after knowing that he had signed up for the test flight, his wife did not stop him, but silently took off the necklace that he had treasured for many years, put it on his neck solemnly, and made him swear to God that he must come back alive ...
"Jennifer, wait for me..." Thinking of his wife's expectant and hopeful eyes, Carl's eyes gradually became firm, he held the brass pendant tightly, and continued to speed up. At this time, Tanis The atmosphere outside the planet is getting thinner and thinner, and the speed of the Apocalypse is getting faster and faster. As long as it exceeds the height of 500 kilometers, it will completely enter the exosphere of the planet. Once there, as long as he uses the computer to calculate the shuttle , and then spend a few days in space, and then return safely, then his mission is complete...
At this moment, the sky has changed from a jasper-like blue to a solidified indigo color. The sky is dotted with stars, and it seems that there is no atmosphere. Even the stars in the sky will be brighter.
The starlight was reflected in Carl's eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but be full of shock. Born in the end of the world, he was the first person to be able to see such a bright starry sky.
