Chapter 68: The Moon Landing I
Ivan stared at the scenery of the Crimson Sea on the screen, clenched his fists sharply, gritted his back molars and gave the order:
"Inform everyone, get ready to go to the moon!"
"Are you sure? What if this is a ploy by the enemy?" asked the White Bear.
"Of course, it's not all the troops that are pressed in one go......"
Evan turned around, his expression calmed down, looked into his eyes and explained, "I will send a group of mechanical engineers to build a military base on the moon, and at the same time investigate the condition of that ocean." If necessary, even if the ocean is evaporated, it is necessary to find out the secrets of the depths of the sea. β
"It's for the best. β
Karenz stood up from his seat and looked at Evan's side face: "Landing directly on the moon is just nonsense, at that time, my hometown was taken up, and there was no place to cry if I wanted to." After figuring out the reality of the target, the three of us will join forces to land and completely destroy it!"
"How do you feel now, how much of your combat strength has been restored?" Ivan asked cautiously, looking at his subtle body movements.
"100 percent!"
Seeing him suddenly ask this, Karenz immediately smiled, and couldn't help but start to praise it: "With this craft of making bionics alone, you can become a billionaire in minutes! As long as you are willing to take orders, I don't know how many mechanics cry and shout to beg you to make bionics, after all, one more high-performance bionic body is one more life!"
"That's a good idea. Ivan nodded to himself, taking this fortune trick to heart.
One by one, one by one
Under the dark and dreary sky, rows of tall launch towers, surrounded by milky white giant carrier rockets, towered over the launch site of the No. 1 military base. The mechanical engineers, who received various professional skills from Xiao Xi, carried out the final inspection and operation of the rocket before takeoff, and then evacuated the scene and quietly waited for the launch time.
In the control room located in the space base, Xiao Xi controls the central computer, listens to every piece of information from the mechanical engineering soldiers, makes a decision, and issues an order:
"Ten minutes to prepare!"
"Five minutes to prepare!"
"Ready in a minute!"
With the arrival of the last few seconds, the noise on the launch site instantly calmed down, and the onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath, and for a while it was silent as if it was a no-man's land.
"Ignition!" Xiao Xi gave an order.
Immediately from the rocket launch site, there was a continuous and huge roar, accompanied by the sound of landslides and tsunamis shaking the earth, one rocket after another rose from the ground, rising one after another, with brilliant flames spraying from the tail, straight into the sky.
"The launch was successful. β
Xiao Xi analyzed the data fed back by the rocket and reported the situation to Ivan .
One rocket after another soared into the blue sky, and the deafening roar quickly moved away, and a few seconds later, the group of rockets rising vertically began to turn around; after a few tens of seconds, the gas emitted by the rockets condensed into smoke in the air, like a white line extending in the long sky to the southeast; and finally in the vast sky, it gradually turned into a small bright spot, penetrated the atmosphere, and disappeared from the surveillance footage of the military base.
However, the measurement and communication equipment located at the space base is closely "staring" at small light spots that are invisible to the naked eye, accurately measuring, recording and reporting the flight speed, altitude and attitude of the rocket at every instant.
Every second, a large amount of measurement data is collected from all directions to the TT&C data exchange center. The TT&C center uses various precision equipment and lines to link all the launching units into a sophisticated combat collective. Collect and share the data between the test units in a timely manner, continuously report the rocket flight data to the measurement stations, and guide them to accurately track the rocket;
These data are very important for the current Hyperion, because the incident happened suddenly, and neither the rocket nor the rocket built by the consortium has been activated. Therefore, there is no automatic flight, automatic cruise, and automatic angle adjustment ability of mechanical life, all relying on Xiaoxi combined with the computing power of the central computer to lift off to the moon.
In the face of such an important task, Xiaoxi's AI finally played her due level, absorbing feedback from the measured information of each station and the flight of the rocket, and constantly sending out good news:
"Good tracking!"
"Works!"
"Flying normally!"
In the flight control center, rows of virtual screens frequently exchange colorful digits, and the automatic recorder gently traces the curve of the rocket's flight trajectory on the display board. This curve is closely consistent with the theoretical ballistic curve marked in advance, vividly telling people that the internal instruments of the rocket are working normally, and the rocket is flying normally!
After flying some distance out of the atmosphere, the group of rockets crossed interstellar space at a seemingly slow pace, changing angles as they went, heading straight for the crimson sea on the moon's surface, covered by a strange barrier.
Scarlet waters, sparkling. Amphibious mechanical engineers, individual robots, and maintenance robots, like a welcoming guard of honor, are neatly lined up on the seaside, waiting for the rocket to transport the fully automatic factory over.
Sneerββ!
The rocket swarm flew at high speed towards the sea area where it was scheduled to splash down. ξ
After a while, a row of bright spots appeared in the sky, pulling out dazzling white lights and flying straight towards the predetermined sea area.
The bright spot is getting bigger and bigger, and when it is still a few kilometers above the sea, the container with fully automated mining equipment is ejected from the head of the rocket with a brush brush - the parachute is opened and slowly floats down to the surface of the ocean. The head of the rocket "plopped" into the sea, stirring up a column of water that soared into the sky. When the container falls into the water, the strong inertia pulls open a long and narrow water mark, floating on the ocean like a brocade ribbon hundreds of meters long.
Immediately afterwards, the mechanical engineer who had been waiting nearby for a long time drove towards the landing area like an arrow from a string, threw out the hook and claw chain, grabbed the outer wall of the container and swam to the sea. Once the sappers have brought all the containers to the seashore, the modular, fully automated mining equipment is assembled and placed at the location of previously detected minerals.
In just about an hour, the mining base can produce a variety of ore raw materials.
During the official operation of the mining base, industrial equipment such as smelters, chemical processing plants, assembly line production plants, signal stations, etc., will be transported by rockets, and a manufacturing and launch base for ultra-long-range missiles will be built within two to three days.
Regardless of whether the evil god's body is hidden underwater or not, there is nothing wrong with building a lunar base at this time, at least it can avoid the Servant's attack range and carry out ultra-long-range strikes. In addition to these devices, for some time to come, Ivan will also send a deep-water detection robot by rocket to check the situation at the bottom of the sea.
