Act 444 The Sword Hanging in the Sky (Part II)

In terms of difficulty, launching satellites and manned spaceflight are completely two different concepts, and being able to send a dead object satellite into the sky does not mean that you can safely send people to it, even if the most basic life-sustaining systems are not considered, manned spaceflight has an additional procedure for safe landing.

If earth technology is completely used, every manned space flight will need to consume countless manpower and material resources, spend the price of a few small targets to buy a ticket, and it will also make countless people worry about it, for fear that this will be a point of no return.

There is no vehicle developed by mankind that has a higher safety accident rate than that of rockets.

But this time, a completely different manned space technology has been adopted at the Anglia Storm base, and if the experiment is successful, it can even run into the era of interstellar tourism, and the ticket price of space shuttle can reach a level that is acceptable to ordinary people, and there is almost no risk at all.

The first stage is no different from a normal satellite launch, except that the launch is an unmanned spacecraft that depicts a portal.

Once the unmanned spacecraft has safely reached its intended orbit, the second phase can proceed.

The second stage is no different from the portal movement in Anglia, except that the destination is a spaceship in Earth orbit.

If the experiment can be successful, the people in the base will be able to enter and exit the spaceship as easily as using the portal, and it will no longer be a matter of life to enter the universe to work.

"Supreme Mage, are you ready? Time's up. ”

The Supreme Mage, who was sitting on a chair in a spacesuit and closed his eyes, opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and said firmly, "I'm ready, let's go." ”

The Supreme Mage stood up and followed the staff to a chamber depicted with a medium-sized portal, where two people were already waiting.

"Wei ...... Satellite...... Is the self-test still going well? ”

The Supreme Mage asked cautiously, this time in order to carve a medium-sized portal in the small space of the spaceship, both the mages of Stormwind City and the engineers from Earth have spent a lot of brainpower, although the results of the experiments on the ground are quite good, but no one can say what will happen after the actual heavens.

Compared with small portals, medium-sized portals require more resources and are more complex to portray, but there is no essential difference except that the stability is slightly better, the teleportation distance is slightly longer, and the portal is slightly larger, and the cost performance is much worse than that of small portals, so the application in Anglia is not very widespread.

But this time, in order to do everything possible to increase the success rate and ensure the safety of personnel, the base deliberately built a medium-sized portal to connect the ground and the ship.

"Don't worry, everything has passed the self-inspection, and the rest is our work." The other astronaut standing on the side smiled and patted his chest, "I'll go over first, and I'll let you know when everything is safe, Supreme Mage, you don't have to worry too much." ”

The Supreme Mage nodded expressionlessly, without the slightest hint of gratitude, but felt that it should be taken for granted - in Anglia, this kind of thing is commonplace, every battle is staged, and now it is nothing more than turning those cannon fodder infantry into elite astronauts, and for him, a legendary star mage, they are all ordinary people who are not worth paying attention to.

Marching ants drown the ants on the outer layer when they cross rivers in groups, and in Anglia, where survival is the first priority, human rights and equality, which can only be considered after having enough food and clothing and no worries about life, have never appeared.

The astronaut looked at the time and said, "The time has come, then, Supreme Mage, please open the door." ”

The Supreme Mage nodded, casting a spell to open the portal.

"Well, I'll go first."

There was a live feed of the inside of the spaceship in the room, and everyone was relieved to see the astronauts successfully appear inside the portal.

But this was just the beginning, and the next step was that he had to inspect the ship in detail to make sure that everything was safe before the second person could enter.

After a long and silent wait, the astronauts in the spacecraft finally made an OK gesture, and suddenly there was a tsunami-like cheer in the control center.

After the orbital correction program, which had been activated in response to the sudden increase in mass, the second astronaut pushed a heavy metal box through the portal, and then teleported into the spacecraft along with the metal box.

Finally, it is the Supreme Mage.

Once all three of them were in place, they worked together to push the floating metal box into the corresponding groove in the ship's bulkhead, and then started the deployment process.

The docked metal box was quickly pushed out of the cabin by the robotic arm and gradually unfolded into a semi-finished bulkhead.

That's right, according to the plan, the spacecraft will become the centerpiece of the space station, and the other parts will be brought in the form of metal boxes, which will then be automatically assembled by robots in space.

Because the subsequent parts other than the spacecraft do not need to be transported by rockets, the design difficulty is greatly reduced, and if it were not for the fact that the spacecraft's internal space is too narrow to fit enough equipment in one step, the researchers at the base even plan to go directly to the third stage - in a modular form, one room at a time, directly teleporting into the universe to accumulate blocks.

Now the Supreme Mage is assembling the third stage of the assembly center, the entire space station is also quite complicated by this assembly center, once the assembly center is completed, most of the rest of the work can be completed on the ground, and the space only needs to receive the building modules on the ground and dock to the designated location.

Researchers are optimistic about how quickly the technology can be built, believing that a space station of the size of the ISS could be completed in less than a day with the assembly center.

The installation of the components is in charge of the two Huaguo astronauts, and the task of the Supreme Mage is to operate and maintain the portal, although this is already a very mature technology, but after all, it is the first time to be applied in the universe, and it will always be more reassuring to have a legendary powerhouse in charge, and the installation of the magic array in the later stage also needs his help.

The Supreme Mage, who had no work to deal with for the time being, floated in the air, clutching the handle by the window to fix himself, and his eyes never left the large round ball outside the window.

"This is Anglia...... No, is this the world we live in...... Sure enough, it's a ball, we star mages are right, those idiots have really been the same stupid for thousands of years! I just don't know where God's kingdom is, but don't offend the gods. ”
