Chapter Forty-Eight: Finally Seeing Rutan
The sky is getting brighter,
The dark red light re-illuminates the earth,
Shrouded in a dim red light, a huge structure stands on this loose desert,
The building is surrounded by frame structures as if it were a newly built building.
At this time, at the "bottom floor", Yang Meng was asking Xiao Yi about the progress:
"How's the solid structure going?"
"At present, the construction has basically been completed, and it can be split at any time!"
Hearing Xiao Yi's answer,
Yang Meng nodded silently,
Looking at the busy appearance of various unmanned equipment around the spaceship, his mood was a little complicated,
"After all, it's Jia who wants to dismantle the spaceship!"
If there is a way to drive the entire Boundless Oriental from this planet, Yang Meng is unwilling to disassemble the spaceship.
But the constraints of various factors made him have to make such a choice,
"That's it!"
Yang Meng shook his head silently,
looked to the other side,
There's a tower there,
A rocket-shaped structure looms inside the tower,
"How are Xiaoyi's telemetry, communication, and relay satellite preparations?"
"It's all ready, and I'm waiting for the electromagnetic bullet to be charged!"
"How much longer?"
"It will take 46 minutes to recharge!"
"Do another launch check!"
"Understood!"
Yang Meng methodically prepared to leave the planet's work,
Although he decided to send the core module into space first,
But until then,
He also needs to send a few satellites into outer space,
Even if this is to explore the path of the core module,
It is also to establish a simple space system.
……
Forty-six minutes were up quickly,
With Xiao Yi's countdown,
Rockets on the launcher, catapulted,
When reaching a certain height above the ground,
A lot of smoke came out of the tail of the rocket,
A bright blue flame pierced the red sky,
"Posture program is normal!"
"Telemetry is normal!"
"Radar tracking is normal!"
……
With Xiao Yi's constantly reported voice,
The blue flame gradually disappeared into the red cloud,
Only a rumbling sound remains.
It seems that the movement caused by the rocket is too huge,
The little light that had disappeared reappeared,
"It turns out that leaving the ground can be done in such an easy way!"
Yang Meng, who was exchanging launch status with Xiao Yi,
Hearing Xiaoguang's sigh, I couldn't help but look back,
"It stands to reason that the physics required by rocket technology is very basic, why haven't you developed rocket technology!"
"Why?"
Hearing Yang Meng's question, the frequency of the small light flickering became even larger,
"We've really mastered this kind of physical technology.
But have you forgotten the state of our world? ”
Hearing Xiaoguang's words, Yang Meng suddenly thought of something
The heavy elements after iron on the periodic table are extremely rare on this planet.
This has become an important factor limiting the development of aerospace science and technology on the planet!
In addition to the scarcity of elements,
The planet's gravity is also greater than that of the Earth.
Coupled with the fact that this civilization has existed for an extremely long time,
Before the development of science and technology to aviation technology, the already scarce heavy elements had been almost consumed
The Rutan civilization without materials can only be trapped on this planet.
Thinking of this, Yang Meng sighed silently in his heart and didn't ask more,
And at this time, Xiaoguang mentioned one more thing:
"The movement of that thing just now is not small,
It's quite possible to attract something else, and you'll want to speed up your preparation! ”
"Something else?"
"Could it be that besides you, there are other people on this planet who have survived!"
"I can't be sure!"
"But this world is so big, I can't be sure if there are any of my people other than me, who have survived in other forms!"
"You're not sure!"
Hearing Xiaoguang's words, Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask:
"So, those of your people are dangerous?"
"I can't be sure,
But in order to leave this planet,
have tried various methods,
My former people used some radical methods,
In retrospect,
We have indeed caused a lot of harm to the world!
I did a lot of useless work! ”
……
Xiaoguang and Yang Meng exchanged a few words, but they didn't want to say more,
Continue to check the surroundings for the movement of the red mist.
And Yang Meng looked at the direction where Xiaoguang disappeared,
Thinking back to what Xiaoguang said just now,
silently gave Xiao Yi an order in case of emergency.
After explaining some things to Xiao Yi,
Yang Meng's gaze returned to the satellite monitoring panel again,
When he saw the image transmitted back from the rocket thruster, he couldn't help but frown:
"How many seconds has Xiao Yi been, why hasn't the rocket left the atmosphere yet!"
"It's been 459 seconds since launch,
According to the data transmitted back by the emission sensors, it is about to leave the atmosphere! ”
Looking at the brighter and brighter red fog in the image video, Yang Meng was a little surprised by the thickness of the planet's atmosphere.
To know that on Earth,
At the speed of the rocket, the rocket would have left the Earth's atmosphere and seen the Earth's sphere.
In his grandfather's time, it only took about 600 seconds for humans,
can send people to a predetermined orbit in space,
Not to mention the space technology at this time.
In the face of Yang Meng's questions, Xiao Yi also gave some explanations,
"Because the gravity of planet Rutan B is greater than that of the Earth,
The process of flying out of star B is bound to be time-consuming and laborious.
And because of gravity, star B can have a much higher atmosphere! ”
"In addition to this reason,
and Rutan, which is a star, is extremely inactive,
The stellar winds emitted are also very weak,
This also allows the atmosphere on Planet B to have lighter particles.
It also travels a greater distance in space! ”
……
It was also when Xiao Yi was explaining,
The video picture that Yang Meng saw through Xiao Yi finally changed,
I saw that the red fog in the video was getting thinner and thinner,
Until it finally slowly disappears,
A bright light appeared in the lens,
The light was glaring,
Without the scattering of the atmosphere,
The bright light basically doesn't see any color, only bright.
It was as if it was the sun when he had just left Earth in a spaceship.
"Xiao Yi, put down the mask board!"
"Understood!"
The next moment,
The video he saw seemed to have a layer of filters.
With the advent of filters,
A terrifyingly large red sphere appeared in Yang Meng's field of vision,
Lu Tanxing finally showed his true colors,
Because the picture is directly presented in Yang Meng's mind through Xiao Yi's consciousness transmission technology,
So this huge planet looks extremely shocking,
Although Rutan is much smaller than the Sun,
But because of the low temperature of the Rutan star,
The distance between Planet Rutan B and Rutan is smaller than the distance between Mercury and the Sun.
In this case,
Yang Meng can even vaguely see the stellar material flowing on Lutan Star!
