Chapter 42: Mars Sets Off

October 23, 2020 is a special day.

New Anthropological Calendar, June 7, 7:30 a.m.

At this time, Yu Yifeng and others, as well as hundreds of selected scientists, scholars, technicians, engineers, etc., were already sitting in their respective posts, ready to go.

Yu Yifeng also had some of the main project leaders gathered in the captain's room, ready to give orders. Some members of the security team, distributed in various rooms of the ship, maintain law and order.

The rest of the tens of thousands of people were asked to stay in their rooms and were not allowed to move around at will. Fortunately, there is a TV in each room, so people can watch the whole process of the ship's departure.

As the minutes passed, everyone's hearts began to tense, or whispered, encouraged each other, or prayed silently. On this day, it is related to the future of everyone, but the manpower has been exhausted, and the rest can only depend on the destiny of heaven, and people just wait quietly and pray.

"Drop", as soon as the time came, Yu Yifeng immediately announced: "I order, recover the spaceship elevator." ”

"Captain's order, recover the ship's elevator!"

"Recovering the Ship's Elevator ......"

The ship was so large that you had to use a high-speed elevator to get on and off the ship. With a roar of machinery, the elevator next to the ship was slowly retracted. Because it has been experimented many times before, there was no applause for this step, and people just held their breath and looked forward to the next step.

"I order, remove the ship stand!"

"Captain's order, remove the ship bracket!"

The Noah shook slightly, and several of the last brackets that supported the ship were removed. Now there is only one last fulcrum left, and that is its "basin" engine. However, the entire spacecraft is quite stable, and the scientists have carefully calculated that it is impossible for the spacecraft to capsize.

"I order, each group to make final preparations! The spacecraft will be officially launched in ten minutes! ”

"The captain ordered the observation team, maintenance team, engine team, and inspection team to prepare for work......"

At this moment, the entire spaceship was silent, and everyone's heartbeat increased, staring at the TV screen for fear of missing something.

The time has come to test the final results, and everyone has been fighting for this day for six months, but it is still unknown whether they will succeed or not.

"I order, Noah, nuclear propulsion system, officially ignited!"

"Captain's order, activate the Noah's nuclear propulsion system, and the countdown will start ......"

With the input of a string of sixty-four digits, a countdown began to appear, "ten, nine, ......eight" Yu Yifeng's heart was also very nervous, whether the space program could be completed or not was officially revealed in a few seconds!

"Five, four, three, two, one......" People counted silently in their hearts with the countdown, staring at the screen, their eyes unblinking. As the last second passed, suddenly, a bright white light flashed under the spaceship, which was at first just a slit, and then grew larger and more exaggerated at the end.

It's a sunrise that shakes the past and the present!

There has never been such a strong light in the world, as if a thousand suns have gathered together. These rays even take on some brilliant blue, which is extremely hot, at least hundreds of millions of degrees. A large amount of gray-black dust surged with this ray of light.

A billion-ton helium-3 nuclear bomb - exploded!

A not very large mushroom cloud was generated from under the spaceship, and in an instant, the nuclear explosion released a huge energy of 4.184*10^18 joules, as if a natural force that had been bound for hundreds of millions of years was suddenly released.

This powerful energy is equivalent to the magnitude of a magnitude 9.3 earthquake in the Indian Ocean in 2004. However, the scope of the earthquake was so large, and the engine of the Noah was only so small, and this energy suddenly exploded in such a small space, as if a powerful starry sky beast was imprisoned in a cage.

It struggles, it resists, it wants to be free, it wants to break free from this engine.

The entire "basin-style" engine was instantly filled with powerful shock waves, optical radiation, and electromagnetic radiation, and the visual errors caused by the scorching temperature made it seem as if the entire space had been distorted.

The data in the lab began to beat wildly, and the temperature of its explosive core was estimated to be above two billion degrees. Of course, this is only an estimate, and no instrument can accurately measure the temperature.

An incomparable shockwave rushed towards the ship's chassis. In an instant, the infinite power made the spaceship vibrate suddenly. The "basin-type" engine underneath used to suppress a large amount of gas with a huge body weight, but at this moment, it can no longer be suppressed!

This "starry sky beast" finally broke through the cage, and it seemed to have boundless rage, and a giant hand composed of mushroom clouds lifted the ship with ease!

The mass of a million tons was not a matter at all, it seemed to be as light as a feather in front of this divine power, but in an instant, the spacecraft was violently ejected.

The instantaneous high temperature, electromagnetic radiation, and light radiation made all the TV screens tremble, and people could only see a piece of snow white. At this time, the electromagnetic radiation was so strong that all satellite signals were blocked, and only the observation room mounted next to the spacecraft could barely operate.

"The satellite connection is not working! Neither does the lunar rover! The left and right observation rooms are still working! ”

“…… Fast! Transmit data by wired means! ”

People just held their breath and glued to the screen, and the image finally became clear, and people saw this great scene from the TV.

As an ancient Indian epic says, "If a thousand suns shine together in the sky, mankind will perish, and the earth will suffer, and I will seem to be the god of death, the destroyer of all things in the world!" ”

This sentence is very suitable to describe nuclear fusion. In the face of this devastating force, most of the thick "basin-style" engine of human beings was evaporated in an instant, and the sand was stamped into a crystal hard plate by a powerful shock wave, and all the sand was melted into a glass-like substance by the instantaneous high temperature and high pressure!

"It's the power of the sun!" Many people can't help but feel this kind of emotion when they see a nuclear explosion for the first time, and they also begin to worry about the design of scientists, what if the entire spacecraft is blown up?

Professor Ding Yidong sat in the captain's room, his hands clenched into fists, the whole palm of his hand was blue and purple, he was responsible for the design of the nuclear bomb, and the engine was designed by Dr. Felix and many other scientists. He believed in himself and his peers, but he was still nervous!

"The first stage engine has been vaporized!" A large amount of information is emitted by various observation instruments.

"The second stage engine burned out completely! Fallen off! ”

"Three-stage engine...... is working, it has managed to withstand a lot of pressure! The spaceship is accelerating! ”

There was an instant burst of cheers in the captain's room, Felix jumped up from his position with a jump, and gave Ding Yidong a bear hug, engine, no problem!
