"Okay, I know what you're most looking forward to today, and it's definitely not listening to my nonsense here anyway. So no more verbose. Now I order, Wu Gang lifts off! ”

……

The entire presentation took less than 10 minutes.

Compared to the importance of today's ceremony, Ning Xiao's speech was a little sloppy. But as he said at the end, most people's attention today is not on him, and there is really no need to talk so much nonsense.

At this moment, all the holographic projections on the Wu Gang were turned off almost simultaneously, and then the ship's simultaneous broadcast replaced Ning Xiao's voice.

"Wu Gang is about to take off, all department staff, please take their places immediately. Distinguished guests and friends, please wait in place for the staff to take you to the nearest safe area, the safe area is fully furnished, please do not worry. As a reminder, Wu Gang will go into space about 53 minutes after liftoff, and the gravity system on Wu Gang will take about two minutes to start.

During this time, the ship's area except for the conning tower will remain weightless. All non-stationary display areas will be closed. Therefore, all distinguished guests and friends follow the arrangements of the staff to ensure your safety in a weightless environment. If you would like to experience the weightless environment of space, please apply to the staff and our staff will arrange a time for you to experience the experience according to your physical condition.

After the spacecraft is in space and the gravity system is running, the ship's restaurant will also start operating. We have prepared a sumptuous buffet for all our guests. The windows of the cafeteria on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th floors will be fully open, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the universe from a space perspective while enjoying your meal.

But before that, please allow you to publish the following precautions for the entire ceremony......"

The ship's radio began to repeatedly announce the upcoming rituals and the need for the guests' cooperation. Fortunately, these precautions, including the consequences of violations, have been repeatedly explained by the staff before boarding the ship, and the people who can be invited to the ship this time are actually big people in various industries.

Don't talk about what kind of image the queen is, at least in front of people, everyone still has to talk about cultivation and quality.

In fact, the most important thing is that no one on this ship really has the courage to put on a score.

The reason is actually very interesting, everyone who was invited to board the ship probably didn't think that Ning Xiao was a person who liked to be reasonable, so it was better for everyone to be reasonable on his ship. Otherwise, if anything bad happens, they believe that the stewards of this ship will dare to carry out those disciplinary measures.

Human nature is like this, and everything is like that.

……

"Heh, the speech he submitted was really for us."

"Well, but there's nothing wrong with this speech, is there?"

"It makes sense, Xiao Zhang, you will follow this ship in the future, and the safety of this ship will be handed over to you!"

"I ......"

……

Olg Harvey Duponle was in a slightly better mood and finally didn't need to look at the face that made his heart flutter anymore.

And the observation deck where he is located has seats, and the observation deck can handle the momentary feeling of weightlessness. So he only needs to stay here and sit quietly for fifty minutes before he can enter space, and what is even more gratifying is that the baffle under the observation deck is released again, which also means that he can see the whole process of Wu Gang's liftoff from the position where he sits.

What made him even more satisfied was that the announcement on the spacecraft had already begun to introduce the take-off process of the Wu Gang after emphasizing the matters that the visiting guests needed to pay attention to.

"Distinguished guests and friends, Wu Gang is ready to take off, and now it has entered the state of liftoff. Guests and friends who are interested in the lift-off can go to the observation deck on each floor to enjoy the scene of the gradual ascent of the Wu Gang.

The Wu Gang spacecraft uses anti-gravity technology, and its ascent power does not require any fossil energy, all from the gravity of the earth itself, so the entire liftoff acceleration process is very stable and controllable. This is also the most important reason why you can ride very much into space without training, and you may not feel anything during liftoff......"

The old man agreed.

Because he could already see that the building below was rapidly getting smaller, and if he looked closer, he could even see that the ship was not completely straight up, but was constantly fine-tuning along a certain arc.

However, the whole process is extremely stable, and there is no discomfort caused by sudden acceleration at all.

If this were over Washington, D.C., it would probably be a good trip.

Damn, why isn't Ning Xiao an American?

If so, all the problems are solved.

What a shame......

……

Just when Olg Harvey Duponle was emotionally tumbling and even felt extremely regretful, he didn't even expect that most people would not actually be able to appreciate the first-hand perspective of Wu Gang's liftoff. But most of them were more excited than the people on board.

All the occupied squares around the base and the rooftops of large shopping malls were filled with cheers almost everywhere at the moment when Wu Gang took off.

If you are still holding your mobile phone at this time, you will find that Huaxia's network is accompanied by the take-off of Wu Gang, and it is showing great vitality.

Really, from a third point of view, the launch of the Wu Gang is really shocking, as if the entire base has floated.

When people are faced with grand projects, they often have the urge to bow and worship in addition to being shocked. Especially for those who watched the scene not far from the base, there was no sudden eruption of flames, no huge roar, and no ensuing white fog during the take-off of the Wu Gang, but it was even more like a miracle when it rose quietly.

No way, Wu Gang is too big!

Combined with the live broadcast on TV, it was as if a small closed city had just taken off.

Even if this event is a team building of some units, I didn't want to join in the excitement at first, and I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart at this moment, after all, it really looked like a miracle at this time.

The celebratory atmosphere became more and more intense as Wu Gang was raised, and the reporters outside the venue also began to be busy.

Every grand festival media needs to record more than just the festival itself, or its meaning is composed of recording the spirit of countless ordinary people, and this time is no exception. Just as Wu Gang was about to enter the clouds, the reporter who connected to the live broadcast outside the venue also sent the interview microphone to a middle-aged man wearing a red shirt and waving a flag excitedly.

"Sir, are you excited to see the Wu Gang spacecraft take off?"

"Excited!"

"And how do you feel at this moment?"

"Except for football fools, we are all awesome in Huaxia!"

This was a live broadcast, so the wanton shouts of the middle-aged man in front of the camera were caught off guard by the reporter and quickly spread throughout China.

At the same time, Wu Gang's huge body gradually turned into a black dot, and then disappeared from the sight of the crowd.

……

The Wu Gang carried a total of 18,000 people in the air, including more than 1,500 staff members responsible for maintaining the order of the ceremony.

So there aren't many guests that each staff member needs to be responsible for. In addition, all the safety details of this ceremony have been simulated many times, and most of the guests are reasonable, so the safety placement work naturally went smoothly.

】

Similarly, because the acceleration of Wu Gang has been maintained in a relatively reasonable range during liftoff, the whole process of this liftoff is a rare and unique experience even for those trained astronauts. Because unlike the explosive speed of fossil fuels, the Wu Gang is a gradual liftoff, allowing people to experience the whole process of gravity gradually fading away.

It's definitely a magical feeling, you don't even need to see it with your eyes, you just need to feel it with your body. Or watch the small objects you carry as gravity moves away, and the trajectory begins to become intoxicating.

The most profound experience is probably the guests who are lucky enough to enter the spaceship gravity-free experience area.

The whole process was perfect.

Olg Harvey Duponle, who had been sitting in the viewing area, began to count in his mind when he heard the radio prompt for the gravity system to start running, and after 82 seconds, he no longer needed the radio reminder, and he could already feel the gravity returning to normal.

82 seconds, more than half a minute earlier than the previous estimate of two minutes.

Although he doesn't know much about technology, being able to complete the operation of the gravity system in such a short time is enough to show that the technology on the Wu Gang is so mature that it is not like a spacecraft that has been tested for the first time.

From the point of view of human civilization as a whole, this is obviously good news......

"Wait, why am I thinking about this from the perspective of human civilization?"

As soon as this question rose from the old man's heart, his thoughts were interrupted by the staff who stepped forward: "Mr. Du Ponle, I have just received a notice that Academician Ning, who is in charge of today's ceremony, is now convenient to meet with you, please come with me." ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

Although Olg Harvey Duponle replied quickly, he was still a little surprised.

In fact, he hoped to meet Ning Xiao yesterday, but he knew that Ning Xiao would be very busy the day before the ceremony, so he also expressed a request to meet Ning Xiao when he was not busy today.

But the replies received were undoubtedly the kind of polite replies with rigorous detachment: "We will report your request, please be patient, if Professor Ning can spare time, we will convey it as soon as possible." ”

The standard official answer, you can't find any mistakes, and there is a high probability that there will be no reply. After all, he knows too well the official process.

Of course, he wanted to meet with Ning Xiao as soon as possible, and the previous agreement must be implemented. He had never had a crush on Nissen Mountbatten, and naturally didn't trust his promises. Even if in theory, this Mr. Mountbatten is a promise in place of Ning Xiao.

Reluctantly, he finally looked at the huge blue planet at his feet through the blind corner glass of the observation deck, and the old man stood up and followed behind the staff.

Although the scenery here is unique, the old man believes that he will definitely have a chance to see it, of course, provided that this meeting can go smoothly.

As he was following the staff through the crowd, the old man suddenly thought of the things that Neeson Mountbatten had taken the initiative to talk to him about when he had just boarded the ship, and his heart suddenly became more enlightened.

It seems that the time has come to make a decision.

……

Olg Harvey Duponle followed the staff on the elevator three times on the way, passed through six gates with no-entry signs, and then came to a stop in front of the last door. Although the old man had always been proud and had maintained his memory well, he still couldn't quite remember how to go back.

Especially when he took the elevator, he could feel that two of the elevators were not moving up and down, but in parallel. This not only shows that the Wu Gang is large enough, but also shows that the internal structure and wiring of the hull are extremely complex.

When the staff knocked on the door gently, the old man also gave Wu Gang another definition: a large three-dimensional labyrinth.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and the staff made an inviting gesture before retreating.

Du Pont Le walked in the door and saw Ning Xiao holding the cat that had appeared countless times in front of various cameras, standing in the middle of the room.

What surprised him was not that the cat appeared in this scene, but that the view of this room was even more perfect than the observation deck. The Earth is at your feet, the stars are above you, and you can even see satellites in the distance. For a moment, Dupont was once again unsure which position it was.

The only drawback is that there is no furnishings in the room, not even a stool to sit on, only to stand.

"Welcome, Mr. Du Pontle, don't be surprised, this is the watchtower of the Wu Gang, including the floor is a display device, what you see is actually the real-time images taken by hundreds of thousands of cameras of various types on the periphery of the spacecraft, and then restored through calculation and processing. It's actually in the middle of the ship. ”

Du Pont suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded knowingly, and replied, "Very surprising technology. Of course, I have actually seen a lot today, and the development of the base is amazing. ”

"You're welcome." Ning Xiao nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The only bad thing here is that I can't invite you to sit." But I think it's better for your health to stand for a while. ”

"Of course." Dupont nodded and responded, "I've been sitting long enough, too." ”

"If only you could forgive me. In fact, there is an important guest to accompany on the ship today. But the guest was afraid that it would affect the flight of the Wu Gang, so I was relieved to wait until the ceremony was completed before reporting to him about some of the facilities here. So it was up to the other engineers to receive it first.

But in fact, most people, including the engineers who designed the spacecraft's power system and control system inside the base, are not very clear, and the control of the Wu Gang does not need human intervention, and only needs to design the instructions in advance. Leave the rest to AI. ”

"Fully autonomous?"

"Yes, because this kind of anti-gravity ship really requires a long period of training to operate manually. The gravity provided by the planet is actually uneven, so when determining the direction, the spacecraft's attitude needs to be fine-tuned to ensure stability. Even when the environment is out of gravity, there are a total of 6,327 power sources around the Wugang, and maintaining speed and direction also requires extremely complex maneuvering. There are more than 7,000 precautions for flight guarding according to my formula, and it makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it. No way, it's really too big. ”

"yes, it's huge!" Olg Harvey Duponle looked at the earth beneath his feet and echoed again.

What else can be said?
