Chapter 471: We Really Can't
Western Pacific Ocean, Indonesian archipelago, uninhabited island.
The island is surrounded by coral reefs, one of which looks a little different, it is smooth and round, and there are no edges and corners on the outside, like a giant fish egg. The giant fish egg is the size of a car, and it floats in the water, gently undulating with the waves.
After a long time, the eggs seemed to break free and leave the reef with a wave, floating in the water, attracting many small fish to watch.
A small fish approached and gently pecked twice, but the giant eggs suddenly began to change, causing the onlookers to scatter in all directions.
I saw that the giant fish egg slowly stretched, from round to oval, it continued to grow longer and thinner, one end began to become larger, the other end became smaller, the head and tail appeared, a long crack appeared on the head, and then two origins appeared.
The fish egg twisted twice, the origin opened, revealing a pair of small eyes, the crack turned into a huge mouth, the tail twisted, and the two curly tail fins stretched, followed by the dorsal fin and pectoral fin successively broke through the skin and appeared on the body. This freshly baked whale floats in the water, its fins sliding slowly in the water, adjusting to its new body.
The whale enjoys its own life, adapts to and feels the world around it, and quickly masters its own body, it floats to the surface, breathes the first air of its life, swims gently in the sea, and feels the touch of the sea breeze and waves.
The whale swims slowly on the surface of the sea while experiencing its own body. At the same time, a remote conversation is going on in its head.
“...... You're going to call it Sputnik-1 from now on. ”
"Yes, boss!"
"Is the data received?"
"Received."
"Communication with the ground station is normal?"
"Normal!"
"Okay, now start transforming and get ready to take off!"
The whale received the command to expose most of its body to the surface of the sea, and its body began to change as it floated in the waves of the sea. The mouth and eyes disappeared one after the other, the head became sharp, the pectoral fins became thick and slender, and the tail disappeared in favor of a rounded spout with a tail flap erected near the vent......
In just ten minutes, a stubby seaplane appeared on the surface of the sea.
"Take off!"
The vent in the tail of the seaplane suddenly erupted with a faint blue light, which was dim and slender, and once the surging waves came into contact with these lights, they immediately exploded violently, instantly evaporating a large amount of water vapor.
The seawater was evaporated in large quantities, which also gave the seaplane enough reaction force, and in the transpiration of the water vapor, the seaplane started slowly, gradually accelerating on the sea surface, dragging a slender wake behind it. The seaplane grew faster and faster, gliding on the surface of the sea, and soon, with a slight leap, it broke free from the sea's constraints and leaped into the air.
The tail flame of the seaplane that flew into the sky became brighter, the speed was increasing, and its shape was constantly changing as the speed increased. Its wings slowly retracted, becoming shorter, its body elongated, and its entire shape gradually moved from a seaplane to a cruise missile.
Propelled by a nuclear-powered rocket engine, Soundsat 1 continued to climb at a fixed elevation angle, by which point it had climbed above the clouds, leaving the island behind and disappearing beneath the clouds.
Exploration Satellite 1 continued to increase its thrust, its speed became faster and faster, its wings shrank smaller and smaller, and soon, a whistling sound came, and a cone-shaped white mist suddenly appeared on its head, and it had broken through the sound barrier.
One was still accelerating, its altitude was rising, and it passed through several clouds one after another, and finally there was no more white cloud above its head, and the whole sky was only a dazzling blue.
No. 1 climbed steadily and continuously, and the clouds under its feet slowly became thin and transparent, revealing the ocean, dotted with several small islands on the ocean, and at this time the ocean under its feet had shown a clear arc, and the figure of the continent appeared on the skyline.
As the altitude continued to rise, the blue sky above No. 1 began to change color, and the blue seemed to be soaked in ink, from azure to dark blue, and then to deep black.
When the sky overhead turned completely black, the starlight became extremely shiny, and the ocean under his feet had become an obvious spherical arc, not only small islands in the ocean, but also many large islands like patches on the ocean, showing a green or brown color, above the ocean and archipelago, floating large and small clouds, in the sky, a spectacular white vortex occupied half of the skyline, that was the figure of a tropical storm.
One continued to climb upward, and when the surrounding area was completely replaced by darkness, the ocean under its feet had completely turned into a spherical shape, and the blue ocean, white clouds, and green earth were all condensed in square inches.
One's speed was still increasing, and the earth under his feet rotated slowly, and when the earth under his feet became the size of a fitness ball, a sound was transmitted.
“boss! Orbit successful! ”
"Pick up the video!"
"Yes!"
Soon, a real-time image of the earth appeared in Meng Yang's room, and Meng Yang was excited to look at this clear and abnormal image.
What a familiar image it is, once it appeared on mobile phones, on computer screens, on television, in magazines, on posters......
Now it appears in front of itself again, but this is already its own satellite footage!
Earth!
I saw...... I have ......
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
At the same time, the Indonesian president answered the phone with a bewildered expression.
“...... What? ...... Satellites launched by our country? ...... How did I not know? ......”
“...... It's true? ...... Impossible, right? ......”
“...... Guarantee...... In the name of Allah...... Definitely not ......"
“...... I'd love to know ...... too."
Hanging up the phone, the Indonesian president hurriedly summoned the secretary general and arranged the task in a hurry.
"Just now, the US president called and said that just an hour ago, a satellite was launched on the water in the eastern waters of our country, and I immediately checked it to see what was going on."
As soon as he finished giving the order, the phone rang again, and he quickly took the phone.
“...... No...... Right...... Sure it wasn't the ...... we launched We don't yet have the ability to launch satellites ourselves......"
Immediately after that, the president's phone calls never stopped, one phone call after another, constantly confirming the same thing with him, which made the Indonesian president very depressed, and had to explain to people over and over again - it's not us, it's really not us, we really want to be us, but we really can't......
