Chapter 77 Launching Satellites
"What do you mean...... Can this thing finally fly higher than the sky and then not fall off?"
President Cruise looked at the huge thing that stood tall in the distance, and saw that it was very similar to a magic cannonball, but it was countless times larger, and Xu also called it a "magic launch vehicle", and his face was full of incredulity.
Xu Yi glanced at him, his eyes full of contempt.
"If you have read the recent issues of "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly", or if you have a certain amount of research on physical theory, you will know that as long as the launch speed of an object exceeds the first cosmic velocity, it can break away from the gravitational attraction of the planet, fly to the extraterrestrial orbit of the planet, fly around the planet, and of course will not fall. ”
President Cruise smiled, "I've been very busy all this time, so I don't have time to read Magic Industry Weekly." Besides, what you said about space or anything has nothing to do with our Chamber of Commerce, so of course I won't care about it. ”
"Are you sure it's okay?" Xu Yi asked, pointing to the sky. "Let me tell you, this planet under our feet is not the only one in the vast universe. In fact, there are countless planets of all kinds that you can't see with the naked eye, and there is a good chance that there are also inhabited planets. Don't you want to build houses on those alien planets?"
"Building on an alien planet?" President Cruise's eyes lit up, then he shook his head again. "Forget it. You're just sending something into space right now. When I can actually run to another planet, I don't know how long it will take. Maybe...... I don't see the day when I'm dead. ”
Xu Yiwan smiled, thinking that although President Cruise didn't know the principle of rocket launching, he didn't even know the specific meaning of space. But that doesn't prevent him from making the right inferences.
Truly. As President Crews said. Even if the satellite is successfully launched today, it is still far from successfully sending people into space.
As for traveling in space and carrying out the interstellar cruise that Xu Yi dreamed of, I don't know if I have to wait until the monkey man Ma Yue.
Even though the development of science and technology on the earth is getting faster and faster, more than 50 years have passed since the launch of the satellite, and it has been more than 50 years since Xu Yi's crossing, but he still has not seen the possibility of interstellar sailing.
With the current level of technology in the Sainz continent, we want to achieve this. That's almost a fantasy.
But what makes Sainz different from Earth is that it's a magical world.
Magic, on the other hand, is a legacy of the Abyssal Demons, a previous civilization with a glorious history, and can create many incredible possibilities.
For example, if it is developed normally, with the scientific and technological level of the Sainz continent, it is impossible to launch a satellite.
However, with the power of magic, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce completed this research in a much shorter time than on Earth.
Of course, there is also the credit of the powerful theoretical and mechanical foundations that Xu Yi brought from the earth.
After a few more words with President Cruise, Xu Yi looked back at the rocket towering in the distance and sighed in his heart.
If it is on Earth, there are still people who have crossed into this world. Knowing the truth about this rocket, then you will definitely laugh in your belly.
Because this magic launch vehicle is claimed to be carrying an artificial satellite. But in reality, the satellite is an empty shell with nothing in it.
Most of the artificial satellites launched on the earth will go into the sky with various tasks, including meteorological satellites, reconnaissance satellites, communications satellites, and so on......
However, due to the current technical limitations, this artificial satellite cannot complete these tasks, so even if it flies into the sky, it will not be able to do anything.
However, it is equipped with a magic illusion camera with the highest definition, which may be able to capture parts of the atmosphere and space.
But no one can guarantee that it will actually be able to transmit these images back.
As for the magical space above the atmosphere, there is no concept on the current Sainz continent.
Even the dragons with the highest physical strength can barely fly to the highest part of the atmosphere at most if they maintain their dragon form, but they can't break through the atmosphere.
Therefore, the process of launching an artificial satellite this time can also be regarded as a test of the magical space above the atmosphere.
There are various magic arrays carefully designed by the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the artificial satellite, which can test various reactions of the magic space in the outside world, so as to deduce the general situation of the magic space above the atmosphere.
To put it simply, this launch of an artificial satellite is actually a multifaceted attempt by the new flying chamber, which is of great significance.
But......
Xu Yi turned his head to look at the large group of people behind him and around him, and found that their eyes were all focused on the magic launch vehicle in the distance, pointing and whispering from time to time, with irrepressible surprise and shock on their faces.
It is clear that most people, like President Cruise, are focused on sending objects higher than the sky, without understanding what it really means.
"Grown, it's almost time. A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce walked over and whispered a word of look, while handing Xu Yi a magic call box.
Seeing the excited expression on his face, Xu Yi smiled and picked up the magic call box.
"Hey, Freya, I'm just here to watch the ceremony today, and you're the one who gives the orders. ”
From the magic phone box, Freya's voice was still full of vitality and crisp and pleasant, but it revealed a bit of calm voice because of the experience of being the president in the past few years.
"Father, this matter is so meaningful, don't you want to call the shots yourself?"
Xu Yi laughed: "I don't want to steal the limelight from you, the elder adult." Okay, leave me alone, you can arrange it yourself, I'll just watch here. ”
Freya muttered, but responded cheerfully.
"Well, then you're welcome. ”
Xu Yi smiled and put down the magic call box, and asked the staff member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who came to inform him, "Are the representatives sent by other countries in the main control room now?"
"Yes. This time, the two empires sent the top bigwigs, and the Lampari Kingdom even came to watch the ceremony in person. After a pause, the staff member continued, "Elder, they have asked you many times where you are, do you really not plan to show up?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "I said it, I don't want to steal the limelight from Freya." If Steele had found out, he would have scolded me. ”
The staff knew that Xu Yi's decision had been made, so they stopped persuading and stepped aside.
"Hey, Xu Yi, don't you keep saying that your dream is to fly into the sky. The launch of the satellite is still a little short of your dream, but it is also the first step that represents the first step, and you really don't want to preside over this ceremony?" asked President Crews.
"No, you don't. My dream is to take to the skies, not to run to preside over a ceremony that doesn't mean anything. Xu Yi's gaze fell on the huge magic launch vehicle in the distance, and then lifted up, looking at today's blue sky, as if he wanted to go directly through the atmosphere and into space.
After waiting for another 20 minutes, the scheduled rocket launch time had arrived, and after a brief ceremony presided over by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it officially announced the official launch of the satellite.
Xu Yi didn't have any opinion on this, but because he thought of the solemn and sacred energy he had when he saw the Celestial Empire launch the first artificial satellite when he was a child, he always felt that the new flying chamber of commerce's handling of this was a little perfunctory.
However, he also knew that in fact, not only the other people on the Sainz continent, but even the people who were personally involved in this project within the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, although they were very shocked by the launch of things into space, they always seemed to lack a sense of reality because they were too far beyond their understanding, so that they didn't know how to deal with this matter.
"One day, you will know how much this event represents today......"
Seeing a cloud of light suddenly light up from under the magic launch vehicle in the distance, Xu Yi exhaled lightly.
He repeated to many people that his dream is to take to the skies.
Now that he saw the first step of this dream go out, his mood did not seem particularly excited.
Perhaps, because he has done so much for this, and it is only natural to be able to achieve this?
Or maybe it's because he knows that it is impossible to really achieve his dreams in his lifetime, so he looks down on this?
However, when he really saw that the light under the magic launch vehicle in the distance was getting stronger and stronger, and then a cloud of smoke erupted, and the incomparably huge magic power carrier rocket slowly rose into the air, and then gradually accelerated, and finally flew up to the clouds at high speed, Xu Yi still couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
However, compared to the initial shock and silence of the people around him, and the sudden burst of cheers after the rocket disappeared into the clouds, Xu Yi's reaction was still much calmer.
The magic phone box in his hand suddenly vibrate.
Xu Yi picked it up and connected it, and immediately Freya's excited and excited voice sounded.
"Dad, it's done, it's done, it's really flying! The gods are there...... Oh no! the gods are not up there, it's our chamber of commerce satellites in the sky!"
Xu Yi finally couldn't hold back his laughter.
In the more than two years that Freya has been the president, she has always allowed herself to play the role of a mature and stable president, so she has always tried her best to suppress the liveliness and activity in her nature, and now she finally has a chance to be presumptuous, no wonder she is so excited.
"Alright, Freya, don't be so excited. This is just the first time, and we will launch more satellites into the sky in the future, and sooner or later you will get used to it. Compared to this, the most important thing for you now is to settle our guests well. ”
Xu Yi looked up in the direction of the distant command platform on the other side, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The successful launch of the artificial satellite was an exciting event for him, but not necessarily for the distinguished guests who came to watch the ceremony...... (To be continued.) )
