The scene was quiet for a while, Bismarck blinked his eyes and coughed softly:

"Mu Feng, I understand your idea, but why did you build a satellite launch base here?

"The Northern Islands, the Western Islands, so many islands, don't they meet your requirements?"

Mu Feng thought for a while and said:

"It's not that the requirements are not satisfied, but this place is more appropriate, everyone knows that the planet is constantly autobiographing, so it leads to sunrise and sunset, right?"

Bismarck nodded, and then asked curiously:

"Yes, but does this have anything to do with it?"

Mu Feng went on to explain:

"The planet is a sphere, and as it rotates, the speed on the surface of the land is different, the closer it is to the pole, the slower it is, and the closer it is to the equator, the faster it is.

"If we launch a satellite close to the equator, we can use this speed to increase the speed of the satellite, which saves fuel and increases the weight of the satellite."

Bismarck listened to this explanation and was stunned again for a moment:

"That is to say, it is equivalent to throwing the satellite out with the centrifugal force caused by the planet's autobiography."

Mu Feng nodded and said:

"It can be understood that the closer the launch base is to the equator, the greater the assistance it can get."

The shipwives of several headquarters were speechless again.

They can understand that the method that Mu Feng said is based on science, but it is because they understand it that they feel incredible.

Richelieu muttered to himself:

"Commander, is this really a dream-like plan, a whimsical method, can this really be realized......

Mu Feng smiled and said:

"Theoretically feasible, and rockets are disposables to a certain extent, and the requirements for the level of science and technology are actually not as high as those of jet fighter engines......"

Guanghui couldn't help but complain:

"Mu Feng, what you said is good, the difficulty of manufacturing your fighter engine has been ...... It's already against the sky, okay......"

Veneto blinked:

"Commander, I don't know what to say, all in all, very much looking forward to the result."

Bismarck said a little excitedly:

"Mu Feng, I suddenly thought, if you can send the satellite to the sky, can't you also send the ship's mother to the sky? Unfold the hull ...... into space"

Hulun Lake was a little embarrassed and said:

"There's no water in space, there's no air, we can't boil water, our engines can't work, we just float in space...... Then stopped thinking about ......"

After learning about the working methods and functions of rockets and artificial satellites, the shipwrewn present immediately thought of various applications and began to discuss them with a lot of brains.

Mu Feng watched them talk to themselves, then disconnected from Hulun Lake, and turned to Yuanwang No. 7 to check the situation found by fighters and AWACS:

"Seventh sister, how is the situation now, are there any new discoveries?"

Yuanwang 7 spat out and said:

"We have just discovered an archipelago 1,400 kilometres southeast of this place, the largest of which is estimated to be 1,000 square kilometres.

"This is the largest of the islands discovered so far.

"It is located about 400 kilometers south of the equator and about 4,000 kilometers away from the nearest island of Shimogetsu.

"The size, distance, and environment of this island are quite average.

"On such a small island, almost the entire territory is facing harassment from the deep sea.

"The general command can't even survive here, and even if we want to build a base here, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses.

"Instead of going all the way here to build it, it's better to build it on the southernmost tip of Xiayue Island.

"After all, a satellite launch base doesn't have to be built on the equator.

"It's just that if you're closer to the equator, you can get additional speed and load gains, and more importantly, you need to consider the environment and basic conditions.

"The benefits of launching rockets here will not be much higher than that in the south of Xiayue Island, but the conditions are much worse."

Mu Feng listened and nodded slightly:

"I see, leave the island alone and keep exploring westward."

"Hmm."

Yuanwang 7 agreed, and continued to follow the field of vision of fighters and AWACS aircraft to observe the sea area ahead.

Time passed, and after about half an hour, some small islands of small size were discovered.

These uninhabited islands, if placed on the earth, are definitely sought-after goods.

After all, it's an island, not a coral reef, and the natural environment is not bad.

But in this world, there are too many undeveloped good places, and Mu Feng doesn't want to take a second look here.

Mu Feng looked at the position of the fighter on the planet projection, the combat radius of the fighter was about to reach the limit, Mu Feng sighed faintly and said:

"Liaoning, let the fighter come back, the mothership turns its bow and sails westward, search again tomorrow morning, if you still can't find a suitable place, then give up and go directly to the USN."

Yuanwang No. 7 was a little discouraged when he heard Mu Feng, and softly persuaded him:

"Commander, don't worry too much about this, the southernmost latitude of the Twin Moon Islands is low enough, basically the same as our Hainan Island, and much better than the Florida Peninsula of the United States.

"Europeans are too low in the local dimension, Sicily is equivalent to Dalian, Rome is equivalent to Shenyang, Paris is equivalent to Hulunbuir, Berlin is on the same line as Heilongjiang.

"It's quite a loss to launch rockets in these places, which is why the EU went to French Guia in South America and built a rocket launch base near the equator."

Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slowly and said:

"I understand, just make a plan, but I end up empty-handed, and I always feel regretful......"

Before Mu Feng finished speaking, Liaoning suddenly shouted:

"Commander, Seventh Sister, Sirius, come and see, there seems to be an archipelago here...... It's right on the equator, and the area is not small...... I'll go over and see and come back......"

Mu Feng and the three of them were all stunned, and immediately connected to Liaoning's fighter plane's field of vision, and saw that there was a series of islands on the western skyline.

Everyone's mood suddenly became nervous, and they followed the plane all the way to the west, getting closer and closer, and the outline of the archipelago slowly became clear.

It is a necklace-like arc of archipelagos, roughly distributed in a northeast-southwest direction.

The equator passes through the middle of the archipelago, where the largest island in the archipelago resembles a pearl in a necklace.

Yuanwang No. 7 said in a daze:

"The area of this island on the equator is estimated to be 20,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to most of the ...... of Taiwan Island."

Sirius then added:

"The northernmost point of this island, the southernmost point of the Shuangyue Islands, is less than 3,000 kilometers away, land-based bombers can fly back and forth, and land-based J-20 with fuel tanks can fully cover the combat radius."

Mu Feng was about to say something, but Neptune next to him shouted:

"Wait a minute, according to the information given by the IJN, the southernmost island of this archipelago is the closest to the USN, probably less than 5,000 kilometers.

"Here, with missiles with a range of 8,000 km, you can cover the entire territory of the USN, oh yes, and the entire territory of the IJN headquarters, which is also within this range.

"In the future, an intercontinental missile launch base can be established here, and strategic missile nuclear submarines will cruise regularly."

Hulun Lake also interjected:

"Let me add, there is a straight ocean current on the equator, which just covers this archipelago, and building a military port and airport here, even if it is a special collection ......of resources, it is not a loss at all."

Mu Feng listened to everyone's report and was extremely excited:

"It's really good, turn the bow of the ship, speed to the west, and take a closer look!"
