Chapter 79: Magic Computer
"So...... What kind of magic launch vehicle did the New Flying Chamber of Commerce launch vehicle launch into space?"
"Yes. ”
"How high is the so-called space from the ground?"
"My subordinates don't know. However, according to the data released by the New Flyers, the artificial satellite they successfully launched is about 130 kilometers above the ground. ”
"One hundred and thirty kilometers from the ground, how far is this from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
"It should be more than 2,000 kilometers......
"You say, since the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can send a magic carrier rocket to fly as high as the sky, if you just let it fly far, wouldn't it be able to fly very far?"
"Judging from the rocket launch principle and part of the data released by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, there is this possibility. ”
"So...... Is it possible to fly here directly from the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"
"This ...... The subordinates don't know. ”
"You said, if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is not loading a magic satellite, but a magic missile, wouldn't it be possible to hit me directly from the main base of the New Flying Chamber?"
"My subordinates don't know. ”
"Does this mean that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce actually has the ability to launch ultra-long-range attacks anywhere at any time?"
"My subordinates don't know. ”
"If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing, even if we have a strong city defense, it doesn't really make any sense?"
"My subordinates don't know. ”
"I don't know, you don't know, you don't know, what do you know?"
"Subordinate...... The subordinates don't know ......"

"Grow up. This is the height of the synchronous orbit to the ground that I calculated. Do you see what's wrong?" Sancelli turned. Pointing to a number displayed on the magic illusion in front of him, he asked Xu Yi.
"32,714 kilometers?" Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded. "Since it's your team's calculations, then of course I believe there is no problem. ”
Sancelli smiled proudly, patted a workbench beside him and said, "Lord, calculating a statistic is nothing to this Celestial. ”
"Really?" Xu Yi smiled, his gaze falling on the incomparably huge metal monster opposite Sancheli, and a trace of absurdity arose in his heart.
Sancelli has been recruited by him since he joined the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. It has been working on automation programming and has achieved excellent results, so that the semi-automatic and even fully automatic machine tools of the new company will now be popular, occupying almost all of the machine tool market in the entire Sainz continent.
But Xu Yi never thought that Sancheli would develop the monster in front of him.
Named "Tenjin" by Sancelli, this metal monster is so large that it fills the entire room, and it is clearly a computer in terms of function!
That's right, this is a by-product of Sancelli's magical automation program. Both in principle and function, it is almost no different from computers on Earth.
Of course. This magic computer is still in a very primitive state, and its performance is similar to that of the first computer on the earth, only in the fundamental operation mode, because it uses the magic signal stimulation method, and it is slightly different from the computer on the earth that uses current to drive control.
And from Xu Yi, who knows both well, this "Tianshen" is actually much more advanced than the first computer on earth.
The first computers on Earth were made up of an infinite number of tubes, which could only handle the simplest signal requirements for more complex calculations.
However, the Celestial developed by Sancelli directly uses magic signal stimulation, and can even directly perform complex calculations, and then convey the results as command symbols, which is undoubtedly much stronger than the first computer on earth.
The reason why the performance of the two sides is similar is mainly because of the gap in craftsmanship and the lack of Sancelli's personal knowledge accumulation.
If the manufacturing process of the Sainz continent is improved a little more, and Sancelli has a more complete knowledge of mathematical theory, then the performance of this Celestia will inevitably leap forward, and it will definitely far surpass the first generation of computers on Earth.
But even so, when Xu Yi learned of the existence of the Celestial, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Of course, he would love to have a computer on Earth as a helper to complete all tasks, and he did think that after the magical industry on the continent of Sainz developed to a certain extent, there might be products similar to computers.
But he never imagined that the Celestial would appear so early, so quickly.
Xu Yi could not think of any explanation for this, and it could only be attributed to Sancheli's personal talent.
If it weren't for the existence of such a demon-level guy, if the Celestial God wanted to appear, it would take at least twenty years according to Xu Yi's estimate.
"Is it useful, sir, for you to let me calculate the synchronous orbit?" asked Sancelli curiously.
"Oh, that's a lot of use. For example, if I want to achieve the magic communication signal coverage of the whole planet through communication satellites, then it is necessary to have more than a dozen synchronous communication satellites in suitable positions. ”
"But isn't the Chamber of Commerce already creating a high-altitude magic signal beacon that solves the need for ultra-long-distance magical communication between the two continents?"
"It's different. Xu Yi shook his head. "Although high-altitude magic signal signs can solve this problem, their existence is inherently unstable and highly susceptible to high-altitude currents and other abnormal conditions. Therefore, when we communicate with the Demon Cloud Continent now, the signal is often affected or even interrupted. Communication satellites in geostationary orbit do not need to worry about this. And because it's so far from the ground, it covers a very wide area. Theoretically, even three communications satellites are needed to cover the entire planet. And if you use high-altitude magic signal signs, according to calculations, you need to have a minimum of more than four hundred. The cost gap between this, you should be very clear. ”
Sancelli nodded in understanding.
"In addition, there are some very special functions of geostationary orbit satellites, which are not obvious now, but you will know later......"
Speaking of which, Xu Yi sold a pass.
Sancelli gave him a strange look and didn't ask any further.
"But Lord Grow, according to my calculations, if you want to launch a synchronous orbit satellite, the power requirements for the magic launch vehicle are far beyond our current capabilities, so I am afraid that such a satellite will not be able to be successfully launched now. ”
"You secretly calculated it yourself, right?" Xu Yi smiled slightly.
Sancelli blushed and nodded in acknowledgement.
"Yes......" quickly understood. "What? Is it a miscalculation? But I've already imported all the data and calculated it in detail many times? If you want to launch a magic carrier rocket weighing dozens of tons directly to a distance of more than 30,000 kilometers above the ground, the demand for power is amazing. Don't say that our chamber of commerce can't do it now, and even I think it will be difficult for our chamber of commerce to do it in the future. ”
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh, patted Sancheli on the shoulder and said, "Sancheli, you should communicate more with the researchers of the Astronomy Department and the Physics Department of the Magic Research Institute." Your calculations themselves may be correct, but before the calculations, you have already made a fatal mistake. Launching something into the sky, not like you think, is simply throwing something into the air. In fact, it's much less than throwing something into the sky. ”
"Really?" Sancelli scratched his head in embarrassment. "I don't know much about it, and it seems that I need to learn it again. ”
"No, the most important thing for you now is not to learn astronomy, but to do more math. Xu also pointed to the Celestial, which was huge behind Sancheli. "In my opinion, the Celestial is even more important than launching satellites. I hope you'll put a little more effort into this in the future and try to make it as good as possible. ”
Sancelli glanced back at the Celestial, a little puzzled.
This thing was just for him to make it easier for him to calculate when designing an automated magic machine tool, and in his opinion, it was just a convenient product, but he didn't expect it to get such attention from the president, which was really unexpected.
"Okay. Grown, I'll study it well. But...... Does that have anything to do with you asking me to learn math?" asked Sancheli, confused.
"Now you don't know, but when you reach a certain level of research, you will find that mathematics is important. Xu Yizheng said.
Sancheli immediately and sincerely responded.
After talking to Xu Yi about a few more questions related to the Celestial, Sancheli's heart suddenly moved, and he asked Xu Yi: "Elder, since we can send satellites into the sky this time, can we also send people up in the future?"
"Of course. Xu Yi nodded in affirmation, and then glanced at Sancheli. "What? You want to travel in space?"
Sancelli immediately showed a look of infinite longing.
"Of course, I dreamed of seeing the planet beneath our feet from space, and it must be beautiful!"
"Haven't you been playing countless images of the planet from space, haven't you gotten tired of watching it?"
"How can that be the same. It's impossible to compare looking at a magical illusion with seeing it with your own eyes. ”
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, I can only tell you that you will definitely be able to send people to space in the future, but I'm not sure when it will be, and you can't be sure if the person you will send it at that time." ”
"It's my dream to fly into space!" Sancelli whispered earnestly.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
Flying into the sky, but he has been shouting slogans and dreams.
Not many people believed it before, but now after the successful launch of the satellite, it has suddenly become the most popular phrase on the continent of Sainz. (To be continued.) )
