Chapter 143: Rocket Launch!
Huge flames followed the launch vehicle's lift-off, wantonly devouring the geological layers on the surface of the moon. This fire is not as good as the fire tree silver flower, the whole flame is blue and white, even if most of the flames are led away by the diversion groove, there is still a part of the flame scattered on the earth.
Nearly 1,000 tons of water evaporated in just a few seconds in the large pool of the rocket launch tower, forming a white vapor circle much larger than the rocket launch tower.
According to Tao Wu's preferences, as the mastermind of strong artificial intelligence, Luna still instructed several small strong artificial intelligence at the lower levels to broadcast the tracking of the rocket to Tao Wu in real time-
The whole radar is working fine!
Tempor-class stealth satellite on board:
Mercury One is flying normally!
Venera 1 flies normally!
Earth-1 is flying normally!
……
Neptune-1 flies normally!
……
Relay Signal Monitoring Center: Report! The first stage of the Moon's communication ring unfolds normally!
At the same time, the huge light screen directly opposite Taowu is no longer only black, but divided into eight areas, and you can see that the eight rockets have entered the dark cosmic space, and a certain perspective towards the moon can see that the moon has gone from occupying all the rear sides, to occupying only half of the large rear, and then to only one round ball.
In the third area, on the front side of the rocket, the outline of the Earth can already be seen, while on the back side, after the orbit change of the large ellipse, the Moon has disappeared from view.
At this time, it was less than five hours before the rocket was launched.
Unlike the fuel contained in the Earth-1 launch vehicle, the other seven rockets all use helium-3 energy from the moon, which is considered to be the "ideal nuclear fusion fuel" energy source in the third stage of the rocket.
As early as two minutes after launch, the first stage of the rocket to lift the satellite from lunar orbit has completed all its original tasks. Originally, according to the algorithm, it was enough for helium-3 to be installed in the second-stage rocket, and there was no need to prepare the third-stage rocket at all. But considering that the distance between the Moon and the Earth is only 380,000 kilometers, this is far from enough to hide the high-energy protons that escape from helium-3 nuclear fusion.
Not to mention anything else, there are at least five ways to detect all high-energy experiments in the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) far away on Earth.
The unknown character Liao Yue has always restrained Tao Wu's hands and feet.
To put it bluntly, why did he Tao Wu dare to blatantly engage in construction on the moon?
It's not all based on the Moon Pretender arranged by the main god system. The Moon Pretender, who made use of low-detectability technology, perfectly erased everything that Tao Wu wanted to hide on the moon.
At 19:57, eleven hours had passed since the launch of eight rockets.
With the voice of the Relay Signal Testing Center: "Report! The second stage of the Moon's communication ring is spreading normally! ”
The Earth-1 satellite has stabilized in the Earth's orbit, which is also an ultra-long orbit that mankind has never attempted, and it is more than 50,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface, which is even farther than the 36,000 kilometers of the geosynchronous satellite.
At this time, there were no human satellites at this distance, which ensured the concealment of Earth-1 to a certain extent.
But it does not appear to be a surveillance satellite, because it is not in a geostationary orbit and cannot monitor the target area for 24 hours without interruption. Even the ultra-long orbit of 50,000 kilometers has made all the optical objectives developed by mankind blind......
But this does not mean that the satellite developed by Tao Wu cannot achieve 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring, let alone that it will become blind.
The traditional concept of satellites has always been limited by the bottleneck of technology, and with sufficient energy support, this "bottleneck" no longer exists.
Earth-1 reserves enough energy to change orbit once a day for 10 years.
This means that if Tao Wu wishes, all energy will be able to run synchronously with the Earth for several years.
Satellite imaging, on the other hand, is not the end point of optics.
Tao Wu ate a dinner, and also walked around the lunar mobile base with non-human foot power by the way, until night fell, and when he saw that the day was about to slip away, Venera 1 officially separated from the second level, and with the command of the moon god on the control platform, it symbolized the beginners of the interstellar era-
The rocket thruster uses a nuclear fusion reaction to ignite a glimmer of light in the dark space of the universe, and it is more like a ball of catkins, growing in place, its seeds stepping into the distance alone.
A controlled fusion reaction can be extracted.
The initial reaction valve shaft closed tightly, leaving only a small opening, which accompanied Venera 1 through a difficult buffer period. If there is a person sitting in the satellite during this time, then that person will be crushed into a paste for an initial period of time. As a non-manned satellite, Tao Wu will not crush people to death, so he will not set up a stronger decompression device for it.
Even if the pressure inside the satellite is terrifying, this level of speed is still far from enough.
At this time, Venus has passed perigee, and the reality presented is that the distance between Venus and the Moon is measured in hundreds of millions of kilometers.
A more understandable comparison is: 270 times the size of the Earth to the Moon.
It took half a year for the "Venus Exploration Vehicle" launched by human civilization to take half a year.
Half a year is far from so terrible.
Neptune is 30 times as far away from the Moon as this!
The Kuiper Belt is 50 times this distance!
To the Oort Nebula is 50,000 times this distance, and the distance is even more than 100,000 times!
The traditional theory of working fluid propulsion nuclear power is blocked by a Mount Everest at this distance.
The technological prospects of the lunar mobile base are also difficult to climb this peak.
Therefore, the eight satellites in the first phase are not only to complete the goal of reaching the destination, but also to complete a technical assessment of the lunar mobile base.
On the premise of not crossing Mount Everest, and without using those wormholes that are cashed in with high entropy impairment to cheat, only by achieving good results in this assessment can the lunar mobile base be considered to be mentally prepared to truly become the pinnacle of first-class civilization.
The moon god once asked Tao Wu: "Now you must put aside the theoretical physics common sense inherent on the earth, and think with the theory of the Sharo civilization that you know. Now that we have achieved the controllability of nuclear fusion, under the prospect of magnetic confinement and inertial confinement, how can we achieve long-term acceleration without damaging the body? ”
“…… Are you serious about magnetic restraint? ”
"Seriously."
Tao Wu fell into deep thought.
If you use the thinking of a second-level civilization, this question will be self-defeating, but with the thinking of the Shaluo civilization, which is also a zero-point nine-level civilization, this question will instantly become as difficult as "how can a non-genius candidate in Henan achieve good results in IMO".
Both traditional constraint schemes have a fatal bottleneck in terms of technology.
As a tokamak device entrusted to it, the magnetic confinement generator, which is so cumbersome that it can be described as huge, bombards the continuous improvement of the rocket volume by human beings, which is simply a mudslide in the modern aerospace industry, and it instantly makes people realize: "Weight reduction? Inexistent. ”
