Chapter Seventy-Seven: Breaking Through the Atmosphere

"The separation was successful."

"The track adjustment was successful."

"Get into a stable position."

……

With the arrival of a report, Fu Changhui breathed a sigh of relief, and finally successfully sent the satellite to the orbit of Chang'an Star.

I don't know whether it should be said to be lucky or unlucky, in the war of that year, a large number of artificial satellites in the orbit of Chang'an Star have been destroyed, and in order to make the orbital bombing more efficient, the enemy even cleaned up the wreckage of the satellites in orbit.

This makes the satellite that Beilian is now launching into space basically not affected by too much space garbage, and the orbit of Chang'an Star is basically like an undeveloped virgin land, clean and tidy.

Although it will still take a day or two for all the systems of the satellite to come online, some of the small cameras on the satellite will be operational during this time.

The next step is to complete the task assigned by Gu Xia very early, and to take a picture of the surface of Chang'an Star, so as to facilitate the subsequent expansion and development of Beilian.

At the same time, it serves as a transit point for communication, preparing for long-distance communication in the future.

……

With the launch of the satellite, Xia quietly clicked on the system.

I clicked on the flashing message point.

[Congratulations, you have successfully completed a hidden mission]

【Mission】

【Fly Out of the Planet】

[Human beings need to fly, but also need to fly into the universe, human civilization must not be trapped on a planet, only by breaking through the shackles of gravity, can we march towards the endless starry sky, and now, although we do not completely rely on our own strength to achieve this goal, but with the help of the relics of our predecessors and our own efforts, we finally have a satellite of our own.

We are about to begin the cosmic era, and the thousands of galaxies will be impressed by us, and we announce to the stars that after experiencing destruction and rebirth, we are once again on the stage of the universe. 】

[Aerospace science and technology research and development speed +10%; +10% growth rate of scientific research talents; +10% research speed; +20% exploration speed; Materialist Appeal +20%】

[Due to the relatively low strength at the time of mission completion, the reward has been increased accordingly]

Personally, so Xia never thought that launching a satellite by himself would complete a hidden mission, and it seemed that because of his low strength, he could still launch successfully, so the mission reward was also very rich.

Although there is a large part of the gain, for the current North Union, it is not used at all, but it can always be used in the future.

It's also the result of a coincidence.

If Gu Xia hadn't sent someone to reconnoiter at that time, there would have been no diplomatic accident, and if there was no diplomatic accident, Ning Mu would not have come to Beilian, so that the coup d'état in Lanhe would have happened directly, and it would not have been Beilian's turn to get involved.

So Gu Xia couldn't get the notebook, so he wouldn't find the hiding place, Fu Changhui and the others had to continue to lie in the hibernation warehouse, and the satellite couldn't get it.

In this case, maybe he will have to wait until the reunification of Chang'an Star before he will consider the matter of launching satellites into space.

"Alas, everything is a coincidence......"

So Xia raised his head and looked at the sky.

It's just that neither Gu Xia, Fu Changhui, nor the other people in Beilian noticed that in a hidden place, a strange light flickered for a moment, and then disappeared.

……

Standing in his office, so Xia looked at the satellite map sent by Fu Changhui.

Generally speaking, Chang'an Star is a planet with 28 divisions of land and ocean, and the land is mainly concentrated in the northern hemisphere, and it also exists as a whole continent.

According to the standards of the old summer, there should be three continents on Chang'an, namely the central continent where the Beilian is now located, the eastern continent located in the east, and the southwest continent located in the southwest.

Of course, if you really want to say it, you can't be sure who is the continent in the center, but for the convenience and highlighting the status of the Northern Union, so Xia directly defined it.

According to the definition of planets in the stars, the entire Chang'an Star is not up to the standard of ocean planets, but is more inclined to land planets.

Because the definition of an ocean planet is that more than 90% of the earth's surface is ocean.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, Gu Xia will not build a navy.

After all, Beilian can even build a spaceship now, and if it is built, it will be a spaceship, not a sea ship.

Ships can't fly out of the atmosphere yet, but one day they can do it.

In the future, the focus will be on the army and the air force, and at most a space force will be added later, so that the overall military classification within the Northern Union will be completed, and it can probably be used after reunification.

"Changhui, the problem of this satellite has been solved somewhat, how are the other projects of your underground engineering department going now?"

Gu Xia turned his head and asked, his main concern now had shifted from space to the surface again.

After all, only by unifying Chang'an Star can we have enough strength to explore space.

Fu Changhui hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said while looking at it: "According to the current progress, the next satellite will not be completed until at least a month later, and if we want to build satellites in the future, we will need to manufacture our own parts." ”

"This requires a lot of parts, so the speed will definitely not be fast in the future."

"The second is the issue of spacecraft in the atmosphere, in this case, the engineering department told me yesterday that it will take at least a week to complete the assembly, and it will take a while to test or something, I hope the chief can give them more time to make adjustments."

"There is also the matter of the robot production line, this problem is not big, and now it can reach the speed of 100 units per month, and it is the chief you need half of the combat robots and half of the engineering robots."

"It's just that the materials are a little insufficient, and now the reserve materials in the underground facilities are being used, and if the reserve materials are used up, the production speed will drop a lot."

Therefore, Xia Wenyan nodded and said: "I know, you tell them, I will give enough time to the satellite and spacecraft, so that they can put quality first, speed or something can be put second, and the other is the problem of robots, materials, for the time being, use reserve materials to hold on for a while." ”

"The standing army has completed its external expansion, and more than 5,000 people have just joined the Northern Union recently, and I will let them join the collection team as well."

"Besides, I need your geological scientists, we need to start mining, just collecting the remnants of the old era is not a long-term solution."

"You are responsible for this matter, Yang Miao, and you are also responsible for the safety of scientists."

So Xia turned his head and gestured to Yang Miao.

"Understand, I will let the personnel of the Ministry of Industry go with me, and the reserve force also hopes that the chief can give me a certain amount of transfer authority."
