938 Acceleration by gravity

Tang Bei commanded the soldiers to unload and load the trucks, and it took more than an hour to fill the transport boats in the airport, and then everyone withdrew from the airport, closed all the airlocks leading to the airport, and drained the air in the airport.

Ye Han in the traffic boat couldn't help but look forward to it, but there was no sign of departure even after waiting for a few minutes, and the team members turned their heads and talked about each other with their heads down.

Ye Han frowned dissatisfiedly: "Luo Qi, go and ask." ”

"Derre!" Luo Qi agreed, and walked behind the pilot in a few steps, "Brother, why don't you set off yet?" ”

The pilot hurriedly turned around, and after seeing Luo Qi's rank, he politely replied: "Chief, this is not time yet?" ”

"Isn't it all loaded? How long are you waiting? Luo Qi asked in surprise.

The pilot said: "It's loaded, but the transport ship hasn't come yet, so we have to wait a little longer!" ”

Luo Qi turned around to look at Ye Han, and Ye Han nodded to signal that he could come back.

Luo Qi patted the pilot's shoulder and smiled: "Give me a movement when you go." ”

"Don't worry." The pilot also smiled.

When Luo Qi returned to Ye Han's side, he had already figured out the reason.

Everyone waited in nervous anticipation for more than ten minutes, and the pilot suddenly shouted: "It's coming!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a flashing red siren appeared above the airlock in front of the boat, because there was very little air left in the airport, and only a faint siren could be heard in the traffic boat.

A few seconds later, the row of metal airlocks on the curved outer wall rose upwards at the same time, and the remaining air in the air was scattered in the blink of an eye.

As the airlock rose, a starry sky appeared in the eyes of everyone, with half a sun hanging directly above it, and a small patch of blue directly below, which was a corner of Europa.

Looking far away, the quiet and vast atmosphere is blowing in the face.

The airlock was fully opened, and all the mechanisms behind the dinghy were activated at the same time, pushing the dinghy out of the airlock, and after half of the hull was pushed out of the airlock, the dinghy suddenly leaned forward forty-five degrees, and the original only small piece of Ganymede under the line of sight suddenly enlarged, and the blue sea and gray-brown land took up all the sight.

The pilot suddenly said: "Tower, No. 1 is ready to go!" ”

"One, you can go!"

The pilot's hand counted the dots on the touch screen, and suddenly shouted: "Let's go!" ”

The traffic boat suddenly broke away from the airport, and a transport boat followed, breaking away from one every three seconds, and after more than a dozen small boats all broke away, they happened to line up in a sharp diagonal line.

Everyone only felt that it was flickering, and the sudden weightlessness was like a cold knife scraping across the backbone, and the cool air began to rush up from the tail vertebrae, and even the internal organs were blocked to the throat.

And that's not all, the traffic boat is descending rapidly, and the speed is getting faster and faster, and Europa is rapidly magnifying outside the porthole, as if it is about to rush into the atmosphere in the next second!

Faced with this situation, even the marines who took the orbital airborne as a meal could not help but feel a little frightened.

The transport boat is not a landing craft, it does not have the ability to enter the atmosphere, and if it plunges into the atmosphere, the only result is that the boat is destroyed and people die!

Everyone's hearts lifted, and everyone's eyes fell on the pilot.

The pilot was engrossed, staring at the altimeter and speedometer.

After the traffic boat descended more than 100 kilometers in one breath, the speed finally broke through the predetermined value, and the pilot immediately tightened the control stick, and the engine behind the boat worked with all its might, supporting the hull of the boat, and changing the fall at a 45-degree angle to level flight little by little.

When the boat leveled out, reaching just the orbiting speed of Callisto, the dinghy formation began to fly around Callisto.

The pilot let out a sigh of relief: "Low-orbit No. 1 calls Kuai-7, low-orbit No. 1 calls Kuai-7!" ”

There was a rustling noise on the radio: "Low orbit No. 1, I'm fast No. 7, please speak!" ”

"Hurry seven, the low-orbit formation is approaching, please report the orbit data!"

"Arrive on the seventh!"

A few seconds later, the transport boat received a string of orbital data, and the pilot let out a sigh of relief and piloted the transport boat to gain altitude.

As soon as the communication came to an end, Ye Han couldn't help but ask, "You guys...... Well, is it always so thrilling? ”

The pilot smiled without looking back: "It's good to get used to it, that is, it looks thrilling, but it's actually far from the atmosphere!" ”

Ye Han nodded and didn't speak, but he agreed with the pilot's statement in his heart.

The vertical altitude from the low-orbit pier to the atmosphere is 100 kilometers long, and the spacecraft is descending diagonally, and the acceleration distance is about 1.4 times that of the vertical distance, and the traffic boat has at least 200 kilometers of acceleration before rushing into the atmosphere.

Gravitational acceleration combined with engine acceleration makes it no surprise to reach orbital speeds...... Well, using gravity to accelerate, presumably to save fuel.

The dinghy formation flew higher and higher, and after a while, there was a flickering point of light on the porthole of the bridge.

Ye Han was slightly startled and subconsciously gasped.

It's not surprising that the point of light must represent Rapid Seven, but it's not so unusual to show it directly on the porthole.

LCD has long entered thousands of households, but the pure transparent display is a rookie in the LCD family, which is not used by ordinary people, but has a very wide range of uses in business and some other special fields.

The simplest example is the inner layer of the visor of the power armor.

However, due to poor transparency and reliability, the military use of this thing has been greatly limited.

The porthole of the traffic boat is obviously equipped with a layer of display, but sitting in it has not been noticed, which means that the transparency of the display has reached military standards.

Thinking of this, Ye Han couldn't help but pout, and began to wonder where this thing could be used.

It is unlikely that the bridge is hidden deep inside the battleship, so there is no need to use such a high-end thing.

The only problem is that the turrets of human warships are fully automated, and they are all directly controlled by responsive electronics, unless they are old surface warships.

Hatch canopy for a fighter? This is fine, but there is already a helmet display, and there is no need to make a fuss about the hatch.

Thinking about it, it seems that there is no other place to use it except for a chicken rib aircraft like a traffic boat!

At this time, the formation had already flown to the vicinity of Kuai-7, and after the two sides synchronized their direction and speed, the transport boat was the first to approach the transport ship from below.

The transport ship opened an airlock and swallowed the transport boat into its stomach, and after several mechanical arms fixed the transport boat, the pilot floated away from the driver's seat: "Chief, we are here." He made a gesture to the door.

Ye Han's thoughts were interrupted, he stood up and smiled: "Let's go!" After saying that, the first floated out of the traffic boat.
