Chapter 43: The First Voyage
At the final countdown moment, everyone evacuated the experimental plant, and everyone gathered in an open space not far from the factory building, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the historical moment.
Although it was already dark, all the street lights and external lighting in the factory area had been lit up, and even Li Junjie didn't know where to get a few huge searchlights and place them in the nearby office building.
For a while, the whole factory area seemed to have entered daylight, and everywhere was brightly illuminated.
Yi Xuan, who vetoed everyone's dissuasion and insisted on being the operator of the first flight, also boarded the cockpit with the rest of the operators and got ready.
Yi Xuan also tried his best to participate in the first voyage. Everyone thinks that as the top leader of the company, he should not risk his life, after all, this is only an experimental ship, and he is not fully prepared in many aspects.
But Yi Xuan has his own reasons, and of course this reason can't be said to others, because Yi Xuan is also in order to ensure the results of the first voyage, and is ready to monitor this spaceship with mental power at all times.
Even if an accident happened, Yi Xuan could use his mental power to control the ship from crashing.
Although Yi Xuan believes in this energy loop system very much, it is still very necessary just in case.
On the other hand, as his own dream, what reason could Yi Xuan not be the first to experience the first voyage of this kind of spaceship that carried his dream? The answer is obviously no, Yi Xuan has always had this dream since he discovered that he could change the direction of the graviton, and today, all this is going to be realized, and the excitement in his heart is also beyond everyone.
Time finally came to the scheduled departure time, and with Yi Xuan's order, Yi Xuan pressed the start button, and then he heard the sound of the motor rotating and the sound of each component of the gravitational energy circuit slowly approaching.
The entire hull of the ship trembled slightly, and then slowly floated until it reached a height of about 1 meter above the ground, and then temporarily stopped in the air.
This is the lowest gear of the basic floating height that has been set temporarily, because the roof of the factory building has not been removed, so the entire hull needs to be driven out of the modified gate, so it cannot float too high.
Even so, the height of the hull plus the height of 1 meter in the air has reached more than 20 meters high, and if it were not for the specially modified factory gate, it is estimated that the roof would have to be removed.
Yi Xuan slowly pushed the forward joystick, only heard the sound of the motor and the circuit components, and the entire hull floated forward quietly and slowly, without any shaking and bumps in the whole process, and just slid out without touching any gate.
It was not until the hull was completely opened that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the force of the computer-controlled horizontal gravitational loop in the left and right directions still perfectly controls the hull, ensuring that the hull can sail smoothly in a straight line in the gravitational field of the entire star, without dangling.
This is also what Qian Dongxu finally thought of when he remembered that ordinary ships would sway and jolt left and right with the currents and waves in the ocean.
Because the gravitational field of the stars is generally relatively stable, but there will be strong winds in the air, and the gravitational field will also change direction in some special places, so the stability of the hull needs to design a set of programs to adjust the size of the gravitational loop in all directions from time to time to ensure the stability of the hull.
As far as it seems, it was still a success.
The crowd outside saw the behemoth slowly floating out, and for a while the scene burst into warm applause, and the efforts of several months were finally initially successful.
Especially the old technicians of the old factory, seeing that the company they have been fighting for for half their lives has once again ushered in a major breakthrough, their eyes are unconsciously red.
"I thought it was really worthless to waste my youth in such a company, it turned out that the moment I had been waiting for was now, Dad, did you see it? Our factory is able to make such a miraculous product. Woooooo An old technician cried excitedly, and did not forget to call his deceased old father.
Yi Xuan, who was in the main control room, had already seen the scene outside through the external monitor, but in order to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment, he didn't have time to celebrate with the people next to him.
Just Qian Dongxu, who was in the control room next to him, hugged him and continued to monitor the parameters of the entire hull, and used his mental power to repeatedly scan the stability of the hull structure and the microscopic operation of each gravitational energy circuit.
These works are not recorded in the experimental data, and the engineers can only record the data of the surface, and the gravitational energy circuits can only record the values of the various surfaces.
Everyone is not very clear about how these gravitational energy circuits work, but they only know that only Yi Xuan can explain these working principles.
But Yi Xuan didn't intend to explain, because this involves the control of gravitons in microscopic elementary particles, which is impossible to detect with current scientific equipment.
The spacecraft did not levitate for long in the open space outside the experimental plant, and all data tests were very normal, and everyone had more confidence in the next tests.
After Yi Xuan saw that all indicators in the main control room were normal, he ordered the spacecraft to start the ascent and navigation test.
Manipulating the spacecraft to change the altitude of the float to 500 meters, the energy circuits hidden in the lower deck of the hatch at the bottom of the spacecraft have changed their graphics slightly.
The people in the clearing watched the spaceship slowly rise with the sound of an alarm, and the whole process was smooth and natural, as if such a behemoth should float like a balloon without gravity.
But in this on the overall hull computer, there is a subtle overall control. When Yi Xuan saw the adjustment data of the gravitational energy loop control in the horizontal direction, which had been changing, he sighed for the first time at the power of the computer.
If it is manually controlled, it is very difficult to control so many nodes one by one, and it will not rise so smoothly.
As the altitude increases, the air flow in the air gradually becomes faster, although the gravitational field does not change, but the aerodynamic force of such a behemoth in the air is still very large.
At this time, the horizontal gravitational energy circuit distributed around the hull really entered the full working state, and with the control command, the hull began to slide forward smoothly and gradually at an accelerated speed.
Because of the night sky, warning lights are also lit in prominent positions around the hull to prevent collisions with other aircraft at night.
However, Yi Xuan didn't plan to raise the spacecraft too high this time, but just kept it at an altitude of 500 meters and began to slowly accelerate towards the east.
Just when Yi Xuan and the others accelerated to a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the cruising speed of an ordinary aircraft, Yi Xuan stopped the controller from continuing to accelerate.
Slowly change the course, start to change the heading of the spacecraft to the right, and prepare to do a large circle cruise in the sky, so that it will not fly too far, and it is also convenient for various experimental tests.
Just when Yi Xuan and Qian Dongxu were instructing various engineers to conduct various tests in the control room, the Chinese Air Force discovered a similar rectangular object that was much larger than the large aircraft known now, and was cruising in a circle at an altitude of 500 meters above the southwest territory.
Originally, at an altitude of 500 meters, few radars would pay attention, but this object is too big, and the entire signal reflecting surface is very large, and even people who can't look at radar will find a huge bright spot on the radar display.
The Southwest China Air Force immediately dispatched two warplanes to take off to inspect it, and at the same time mobilized the nearest military satellite to make a focused observation of the airspace over the southwestern territory.
Just as the fighter plane flew to the target, at the highest combat command center in China, in the theater command hall, all the personnel focused their eyes on the satellite photos that had just been displayed.
An object that looks like a ship in the sea is suspended in the sky of Southwest Province, because of the darkness of the night, this object cannot be illuminated very clearly, but it also shows that this is a flying object beyond human cognition.
The operational commander on duty immediately ordered two additional fighters to be sent over to support, preferably to take close-up photos of the flying object, and then immediately put this information on file through a special line, preparing to report to the military committee tomorrow morning.
The first two fighters to take off soon approached the UFO displayed on the radar, and when the outline of the object was gradually clearly visible through the moonlight in the dark night, the pilot was stunned by the sight in front of him.
It was actually something like an ocean freighter, flying there at a speed of no less than 800 kilometers per hour, and if it weren't for the flashing warning lights on all sides of the spacecraft, the fighter pilots would have thought that they were hallucinating.
However, the pilots who have been training for a long time quickly adjusted their mentality, and cooperated with their wingmen through communication, flying with each other on both sides of the spacecraft, and at the same time testing whether they could talk through the communication frequency.
At this time, Yi Xuan had just finished the work at hand with Qian Dongxu, and was about to command the spacecraft to fly back to the factory after everyone was over, and soon a staff member at the lookout came over and told Yi Xuan that there were fighter jets flying to both sides.
When Yi Xuan was in shock, the walkie-talkie used to communicate with the ground in the factory area came out: "UFO, I am the Chinese Air Force fighter J-112, you are flying illegally in the air of our country, please leave our country's airspace as soon as possible, otherwise I have the right to shoot you down." ”
Such a voice kept repeating, everyone in the control room was stunned by this situation, and didn't know what to do, or Qian Dongxu was experienced, and realized that his company's flight was estimated to be a violation, so he quickly turned on the communicator and explained: "Hello J-112 pilot, I am the test spacecraft of Ark Technology Co., Ltd. in Southwest China Province, I'm sorry, this flight was not declared, we will go back to the factory immediately, we will return to the factory immediately." ”
What everyone didn't expect was that this reply immediately shocked the pilot, and at the same time, the combat command scene in the imperial capital, which monitored the fighter to carry out the mission, was also shocked.
