Chapter 30 Antique-class launch vehicles

"Where is all this nonsense? Hurry up, find out the best route, let's get there first. ”

Zhang Tianjiu was angry and shouted.

Sergeant Zhang is still very bold, and this angry shout immediately suppressed the field.

Seeing that everyone was obedient, Sergeant Zhang continued: "Anyway, there is no other way, let's be a dead horse doctor." ”

Everyone was immediately deflated when they heard this, but there was really no other good way, so they had to follow the best route Caroline found to go to the Space Museum.

Fortunately, this museum is also in Dongcheng, not far from the factory area, and it will be there soon. The attack on Uma City by the army of monks fell from the sky, and it was not very peaceful on the side of the museum, and there were still battles, but not as fierce as in the factory area.

Zhang Tianjiu and the others helped to set up an ambush and kill a middle-level spirit child, and the museum was temporarily quiet.

The group went straight into the exhibition area.

The huge museum was basically empty, and as Tolsy said, all the antique ships that could be modified were converted into combat ships and sent out to fight. It is estimated that most of them are now burning wreckage.

But when they came to the Ancient Zone, six Ancient Earth Age carrier rockets that stood tall finally appeared in front of everyone.

"This is the ancient earth space vehicle, it feels so small, how many things can be transported?"

Berry smacked his lips and said, a little disdainful.

The others nodded yes in unison.

This is not to blame them for being "and coaxing", in fact, now that scientific and technological civilization has entered the age of interstellar exploration, more than 2,400 years ago, and space warships weighing millions of tons are just waiting for leisure, this kind of strap-on carrier rocket tens of meters high is really too "pocket-sized" in the eyes of everyone.

"I've checked that this antique launch vehicle, if it is fully fueled, can transport several tons of things into space orbit, or fly thousands of kilometers before returning to the atmosphere. If you only send us a few, it's more than enough. ”

Zhang Tianjiu said.

These materials are stored in the host of Little Pink.

Wei Andong circled around the six launch vehicles a few times, frowned and said, "There are four questions. First, is this thing still usable, is it an empty shell? Second, fuel. Third, navigation. Fourth, space protection. Although it is only launched into low-earth orbit, without reliable space protection, we will all die. ”

In this squad, Wei Andong is considered a weapons expert.

"Not an empty shell. ”

It was Caroline who answered him.

Caroline is also looking up information about the six launch vehicles through Skynet.

According to the data, this is the original goods purchased by the Noray Star Museum from the Earth and Space Museum, and it is complete. Just fill it with fuel and you're ready to go. ”

"And the second question, is there fuel?"

Zhang Tianjiu said: "The fuel for this primitive space transport vehicle is actually very simple, using liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. There is a lot of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in the underground warehouse in the factory area, and we can get some of it. ”

In ancient times, the technology for the production of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen was already very mature. Thousands of years later, both of these are the simplest industrial raw materials, and many factories have them in stock. Of course, it is already a solid state with high concentration of compressed hydrogen and oxygen, which is more suitable for storage and does not take up space.

Wei Andong nodded and said, "Since the five organs are complete, then the navigation system will not be a problem......

"That's probably the biggest problem. Caroline frowned: "Because our Skynet system has been destroyed, it is difficult to navigate effectively. ”

Zhang Tianjiu shook his head and said, "I'll solve this." ”

"How do you solve it?"

Caroline was a little unconvinced. In this squad, she is an expert in communication systems. The mercenaries of this era are obviously different from the mercenaries who only know how to kill in the past, and they need to master a lot of professional knowledge.

Zhang Tianjiu smiled and said, "I have my own way." ”

At such a critical juncture, I had no choice but to let the birds out.

Three hundred years later, the miniature reconnaissance robot, the top of the scientific and technological civilization, is still capable of navigating the aircraft on the surface of a small planet.

"Well, now there's only one last question, the question of space survival. Obviously, we're not going to have time to modify this thing's cargo bay anymore. ”

If it is carrying an artificial satellite or a nuclear warhead, then there is no question of survival in space.

"It's simpler, don't forget that this is an aerospace museum, and there are spacesuits from all eras. Many of them are in good condition, just find a few to wear, we don't have to stay in space for a long time, a few minutes is enough, and the general spacesuit can carry it. ”

Wei Andong and the others looked at each other, and then showed a look of surprise and joy one by one.

All four problems are solved, that is, the plan is feasible!

"The main problem now is to get enough solid hydrogen and solid oxygen. There is a certain risk in getting it back from the factory area, so you should be careful, this is flammable and explosive. ”

"It's fine. As soon as it gets dark, the gang of dogs will temporarily stop attacking, and we will transport it at night, so it's not a big problem. ”

Wei Andong said confidently.

When the sun went down and night fell, as was customary, the army of monks stopped attacking, and the city of Ummah, which had been noisy all day, was temporarily quiet.

The Skynet LAN showed that after a day of fierce fighting, Uma City's defense line was compressed inwards again, and the territory held on to it became smaller and smaller. Everyone knew in their hearts that it would not be long before Uma City would fall completely.

But before it completely falls, there is a breath of air, and it must be fought.

Many people are fighting with a breath of air, success or failure, life and death, honor and disgrace, have long been ignored.

Only a few of Zhang Tianjiu's men, most of the night, were like ground mice, moving back and forth between the factory area and the museum, driving industrial mechas, carefully transporting cans of solid hydrogen and solid oxygen from the factory area to the museum.

Zhang Tianjiu and Wei Andong were responsible for filling the launch vehicle with fuel.

"Boss, we only need one rocket to use, why do we have to fill all six rockets?"

Wei Andong said he didn't understand.

Zhang Tianjiu smiled and said, "You are stupid, just one rocket flew out, those cultivators didn't know what to do, and they had to find ways to intercept it?" Let's give him a suspicious plan, six rockets were shot out one by one, in different directions, so that their high-level monks were exhausted. After they intercepted one or two, they found that they were basically harmless, and they would not intercept them again. In this way, we have a better chance of survival. ”

"It makes sense. ”

Wei Andong couldn't help but nod his head again and again, greatly admired.

To tell the truth, at first he was very unimpressed by this obscene bald head, let alone in awe of him. But facts have proved that Zhang Jiuye is different, worthy of awe, and even worthy of worship.

This man's brain is not an ordinary good worker.

In the second half of the night, it was finally done, all six rockets were filled with fuel, and the wiring was connected, and the computer showed that everything was working well, and the rockets could be launched normally.

Of course, to launch a rocket, there is a series of meticulous preparations to be done, such as rockets up to tens of meters, which need to be fixed on the launch stand, otherwise there may be problems.

When one rocket is launched, the other rockets must be moved away.

Rockets weighing hundreds of tons have to be moved around and laid on the ancient earth, which is definitely a big problem.

But thousands of years later, these problems are nothing.

The problem of handling, a Hercules industrial mecha can be solved, and at the same time can also play a fixed role, when launched, the Hercules industrial mecha telescopic arm up to more than ten meters long, can be used as a launch frame.

Of course, the high-temperature tail flame that erupts when the rocket is launched will cause fatal damage to the Hercules mecha. But there are too many idle Hercules mechs in the factory area, so just drive six of them. The city of Ummah is already in chaos, and no one will take care of such idle things. As long as they're not driving away from combat mechs.

In the middle of the night, six Hercules mechs roared into the ancient spacecraft area of the museum, grabbed the six rockets respectively, moved far enough, and lined them up one by one.

The huge body of the arrow pointed directly at the deep night sky, and it looked extremely sharp.

Zhang Tianjiu entered the coordinates for the six rockets one by one. Because the Skynet system was destroyed, only one launch direction could be roughly determined. After launching, where will it eventually fly, whether it will enter low-earth orbit and become space junk, or return to the atmosphere and finally crash, is not what Zhang Tianjiu should be concerned about.

Only the rocket on which they themselves rode set more detailed launch coordinates. The final stage of navigation will be done by the little hummingbird.

"Countdown begins, ten, nine, eight, seven......"

In the silent space museum, the clear voice of the computer sounded.

"Boom-"

The first rocket broke through the roof and shot straight into the sky.

"Did it really work?"

Berry looked up at the deteriorating rocket and said in disbelief.

As Zhang Tianjiu expected, the first rocket launched attracted the attention of the army of monks, and a middle and high-ranking monk personally took action to destroy the rocket in low earth orbit.

Ten minutes later, the second rocket was launched.

It was also intercepted and destroyed.

The third, unharmed, flew directly into the depths of space and was not intercepted.

Zhang Tianjiu smiled.

Such a result had long been expected by him, and the middle and high-level monks would not make a move easily, after all, the current environment of Nolei Star had not yet been transformed, and it could not provide too much heaven and earth aura, and every time the monks made a move, it was difficult to get enough replenishment, and they could only consume the source stones they carried. Middle- and high-level cultivators need to consume a lot of heaven and earth aura to make a move. Since those rockets didn't find anything strange, the middle and high-level cultivators wouldn't just waste their spiritual power.

"It's amazing. Next, three arrows at once, let's go to the city of Norey!"

Zhang Jiuye, who was wearing a spacesuit and sitting in the cargo compartment of the launch vehicle, gave the launch order in high spirits.
