Chapter 227: Flying to the Moon
The next morning.
Tang Rui was in the laboratory, transforming the mechanical dog with Honglian.
Yesterday he forgot one thing.
That is to design robots specifically for the lunar environment.
No, he got up in the morning and thought about it, so he hurriedly ran to the laboratory and started to work.
Now it is definitely too late to create a specialized lunar robot.
The final installation of the space shuttle is progressing, and even with the addition of testing time, it will be completed in a maximum of one and a half hours.
If you produce robots now, you can only produce three or five at most, which is not enough at all.
Therefore, Tang Rui chose to transform the mechanical dog.
Anyway, this time he landed on the moon, and he didn't plan to build a lunar base, but mainly went up to investigate.
The main thing is to look at the geological data of the Moon.
Where is the most abundant minerals.
Where is the best geological structure and the most suitable place to build a base.
At the same time, I want to know what the interior of the moon is like, and whether it is possible that it is hollow.
After all, Eagle Sauce threw things at the moon back then.
Reverberations were detected on the surface of the moon.
It's scary.
And the far side of the moon, what the hell is going on, whether there are the wreckage of alien spaceships or something.
Although it is unlikely in high probability.
But I haven't seen it with my own eyes, who knows if it's true or not.
This time he went to the moon and just threw the mechanical dogs on the moon and asked them to probe the geological data of the moon.
At the same time, it can be regarded as a dream come true.
After more than an hour of refits.
Red Lotus has modified a total of 21 mechanical dogs that can adapt to the lunar surface environment, and they carry some detection equipment, as well as geological data detectors installed in their bodies.
Before the exchange was not enhanced communication satellites, it would be difficult to command even if a mechanical dog was thrown on the moon.
After all, the bandwidth of information transmission between the earth and the moon is so large.
The space agency itself is not enough.
It is even more impossible to hand it over to Tang Rui to play.
But now, with system-enhanced communication satellites, information can be transmitted without delay within 100 astronomical units.
Red Lotus can directly control the mechanical dog on the moon.
So.
It's a lot easier.
Tang Rui only needs to throw the mechanical dog down after reaching the moon.
Ten o'clock arrived.
Tang Rui changed into an anti-load suit and battle armor, took the mechanical dog to the assembly workshop, and boarded the space shuttle directly in the assembly workshop.
Enter the interior of the 300i.
Come to the cockpit.
Tang Rui sat on the chair and fastened his seat belt.
Airplanes......
The seat automatically moves forward and upwards to the front of the main control screen.
Brush!
The main control screen, the front windshield and the windows on both sides all light up the data display at the same time.
The main control screen displays various data of the space shuttle, including the equipment parameters in the fuselage.
On the front windshield, various flight data are displayed.
The window on the left shows the communication data and system logs.
The window on the right shows the spatial positioning data and the planet's orbit data.
Tang Rui doesn't need to wear a helmet inside.
So these data are directly displayed in front of him, but these data do not affect his operation, let alone hinder him from seeing the scenery.
"Master, the space shuttle has completed its self-inspection, all systems are working normally, and it is ready to take off at any time."
"Turn on the SEG unit, turn on the optical stealth device."
With Tang Rui's order.
The space shuttle floated slowly, hovering in the air one meter above the ground, and then the surface of the body appeared ripples in the water pattern, and the next second the entire space shuttle disappeared into the final assembly workshop.
Of course, if you look at it from behind, you can still see the engine vent, after all, you can't install a flexible LCD screen there, so it can't be invisible.
But it does not affect the overall stealth.
Tang Rui pushed the joystick.
The space shuttle moved slightly, and at the speed of a turtle crawling, it slowly flew towards the outside of the mountain.
That's about the same speed as a normal person walking.
No way.
This is the case with the use of electric propulsion engines in the Earth's atmosphere.
Even though the space shuttle has counteracted the gravitational pull of the Earth, it cannot counteract the air resistance.
At present, the electric propulsion engine used by Tang Rui is only at the level of a cow, and it has not reached the level of a thousand bulls.
After all, without systematic strengthening, the Niu class is already the top electric propulsion engine, and the space station is not as good as him.
As for why not nuclear-powered rocket engines.
Joke.
Used in the factory, neutron irradiation can kill the entire factory area, and no one can escape.
Although he installed the reactor with an inner wall that prevents neutron irradiation.
But the problem is that it only protects the inside of the shuttle from neutron irradiation, and it does not mean that there are no neutrons in the stream of particles ejected when the engine is started.
So, at this time, he can only use the electric pusher.
After a while.
The shuttle left the mountain.
At this time, he increased the energy output of the SEG unit to strengthen the magnetic field range and magnetic field strength.
Let the Earth's own magnetic field eject the space shuttle.
Tossed for more than half an hour and disappeared.
The space shuttle finally climbed to an altitude of 50,000 meters, and this is when he started the nuclear-powered rocket engine.
Liquid hydrogen is injected into the nuclear reactor, and after a chain reaction, the heating and expansion unit is a stream of particles, which is sprayed from the nozzle at the tail.
Constrained by the magnetic field, the scattered stream of disordered particles transforms into a directional vent.
Huge thrust bursts.
In an instant, the shuttle broke the sound barrier, followed by the thermal barrier, and finally the black barrier.
However, just seconds after entering the black barrier, the shuttle broke through the Kármán line and went to outer space.
This time.
It was the moment when the nuclear-powered rocket engine exploded.
Hasten!
Hasten!
Accelerate again!
Without any gravitational slingshot or any curvilinear orbit, the shuttle rushed straight out of space and headed for the moon 300,000 kilometers away.
Speaking of which, it seems to be a lot of movement.
But in fact, none of the satellites in the entire earth orbit, except for Tang Rui's own neutrino radar satellite, can scan the traces of the space shuttle.
Satellite scanning relies on radar waves, not optical devices.
The space shuttle is sprayed with a stealth coating as a whole, and the tail nozzle is also constrained by a strong magnetic field, and the radar can scan it before it is out of the way.
In the blink of an eye.
The shuttle is already out of Earth's orbit, but its speed is increasing like crazy.
Tang Rui glanced at the speedometer on the left.
The current speed is Mach 116.
That's 142109 kilometers per hour, and at this speed, it will take him only two hours to reach the moon.
But is it possible?
No way.
2 hours is too long.
So Tang Rui didn't have any idea of slowing down at all, and directly pushed the throttle valve to the end.
Engine.
Let me see your limits.
Mach 140.
Mach 160.
Mach 200.
Tang Rui continued to accelerate, and soon the speed reached Mach 200, but this was not the limit of the engine.
However, when the flight speed reached Mach 320, he stopped accelerating.
It can't be accelerated anymore.
The current pace is sufficient.
Otherwise, it will be troublesome to wait for the slowdown.
At his current pace, he will be able to reach the lunar orbit in 45 minutes.
But in reality, it takes 50 minutes.
Because he needs to slow down five minutes early, otherwise, he'll fly over his head.
In the new year, I wish you all good health, all the best, find a beautiful and virtuous girlfriend or a handsome and warm-hearted boyfriend, and at the same time work smoothly, make a fortune, and make a lot of money!
