Chapter 44: Lonely Planet

In the history books of the Tian Yuan Star in later generations, this launch was recorded as follows:

Pillars of purple-red light pierced into the void and held up the civilized sky, and the scattered light was the light of wisdom, burning the earth and igniting hope.

And the reality is: everyone has retreated, and many masters have been burned by the reflected laser. The ground was scorched everywhere, and molten lava was tumbling in places.

It was originally winter, and even though the Ningjiang Plain was close to the subtropics, the temperature hovered around zero degrees in winter. At this time, the heat wave is rolling.

At the beginning of last year, the scene of eternal borrowing solar energy acceleration was once again shown.

However, this time it was global heating and sunlight, and this time it was only partial, and this time it used lasers.

Lasers are powerful enough to send a vehicle weighing more than a dozen tons into space, but they are also very destructive. The scattered laser heats up a radius of several kilometers to the point where it is enough to boil.

Although the Ocean Group set the boiling water temperature at 100 ° when determining the standard, the actual situation is that the atmospheric pressure in this world is ten times that of the previous world, and this 100 degrees is at least equivalent to the high temperature of 120 ° in the world - the temperature of the pressure cooker, or even higher.

However, the scene is also spectacular.

Purple-red, jewel-like pure, condensed pillars of light shot into the sky, and endless lasers scattered down, spreading out in an umbrella shape, scorching the earth.

Fortunately, the core devices such as the transmission tower and the nuclear power plant are blocked by opaque enchantments above them, which intercept the laser.

The frenzied scene lasted about eight minutes, and the laser suddenly disappeared, and the heat that was about to climb to 200 degrees finally began to fall.

Everyone looked up at the sky, but they couldn't see the spaceship anymore, even though there was no shortage of masters in the crowd who practiced eye vision.

Because of the laser launch, the sky was cloudless, and not even the wake of the rocket launch, or even the supersonic sonic boom cloud, was evaporated by the laser.

It doesn't end there, though. Although the most magnificent launch process is over, the real thing has just begun.

Zhang Xinhan's voice, through the broadcast system, drifted between heaven and earth: "For the next picture, please move to the hall and go to any place where there is a TV or a display screen." ”

Zhang Hao had already led the people around him to the hall. Zhang Hao did not use his privileges to enter the control center to interfere with everyone's work.

Zhang Hao came to the control center earlier, and came over before the laser ended, because he saw the next complete scene.

Because of the laser launch, the spacecraft is pushed straight up and down into space, and it has to accelerate in the direction of the planet's rotation like a rocket launch.

Therefore, when the spacecraft enters space, the horizontal velocity, that is, the orbiting velocity, is zero...... No, it's negative.

Compared to the rotation of the planet itself, the horizontal velocity of the spacecraft when it enters space is the same as when it is on the ground, and when it enters space, the radius increases, and the tangent velocity must be increased in order to ensure that the angular velocity remains the same.

But it's all in the calculations of the technicians.

Originally, the orbit of the spacecraft was designed to be at an altitude of 3,000 kilometers, but the laser directly sent the spacecraft to an altitude of 4,400 kilometers.

Then under the influence of gravity, the spacecraft began to fall. At the same time, the spacecraft began to fly horizontally using its own fuel. When the spacecraft landed at an altitude of 3,000 kilometers, it orbited at exactly 25.3 kilometers per second. The ship no longer falls, but begins to orbit the planet.

Beyond the aura layer, beyond the atmosphere, no one in the Tian Yuan Star ever thought of getting lost, doing orbital motion, never stopping, never falling—at least the theory. It only takes 266 minutes to circle the planet.

On the display, a schematic diagram of the surround is given, and then a line of words appears on the display screen: about to switch the ship's field of view, with a real overlook of the earth.

Then the display appeared snowflakes, and gradually there were noisy sounds and blurry paintings.

Finally, the voice gradually became clear, and Zhao Dahe's voice came: "It's shocking, it's shocking! The world we live in is really a planet."

I was above the sky, looking down on the vast earth.

Look, the earth in the distance presents a hazy light blue arc. ”

The image is gradually clear, and everyone finally 'looks down' at the earth together:

But at this time, the spaceship has already entered the shadow zone of the planet. Fortunately, the Ocean Group has previously established a radio network around the world, and communication has not been interrupted.

Next, everyone enjoyed a sunset on the orbit. Compared to the sunset on the ground, the sunset in space is truly magnificent.

You can clearly see the interaction between the two planets, the sun slowly descending on the other side of the celestial star, and the huge chaotic celestial star slowly circling, or rather, the planet seems to be rotating as the spaceship continues to retreat.

When the spacecraft descends in the direction of the tangent between the sunlight and the atmosphere, you can see that the entire earth is dyed red by sunlight, and the dusk line divides the planet into day and night from the north of Nando. The dusk line is magnificent, perhaps because of the shooting, you can see a hazy rainbow light across the north and south, connecting the two poles!

And at this moment, a little light suddenly appeared above. That's the moon. At this time, the moon is still far away, but at this time, everyone can clearly see that it is also a round ball and a star!

Because there is no atmosphere, the day and night of the moon are exceptionally clear and distinct.

The ship gradually 'fell' and finally entered the shadow zone of the planet completely. But there were lights on the dark ground.

Among them, the most splendid is the location of the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty, and then the location of the imperial capital of various countries is also extraordinarily bright.

"That is the light of civilization, even space cannot hide our glory!" Zhao Dahe impassioned.

Later, according to the requirements of the command center, Zhao Dahe pointed the camera at the outer space to capture the Mars that everyone found on the ground, but unfortunately he didn't find it.

There was only a vast, empty, pitch-black world outside. Compared to the ground, space looks empty. Without the scattering of the atmosphere, the starlight is somewhat lonely and dim.

Even if you don't see it in person, even if it's just across the screen, a feeling of loneliness suddenly rises in the hearts of many viewers.

Time passed little by little, and at about 15:30 local time, the spacecraft circled the world for half a circle, and everyone saw the sunrise in orbit.

It's just that at this time, because of the rolling, the spacecraft looks like the planet is overhead, and there is a kind of grandeur of heaven and earth hanging upside down. I saw a little red in the atmosphere of the planet, and then the light shone brightly, and a brilliant and dazzling sun jumped out. There is no sunrise seen from the ground at all.

But a few years before the spaceship was gone, everyone saw a world shrouded in red glow.

Countless people stayed in the unprecedented shock. In the evening, the spaceship circled the planet and came to the top of the crowd again, but it was slightly skewed.

At this time, everyone can look up and see the spaceship. Because, there is an exceptionally bright star in the sky, which is quickly streaking across the starry sky. It was a spaceship that reflected the sun's rays.

Zhao Dahe's voice came again: "At present, we have circled. But there is currently no second green planet to be discovered. Perhaps, we are the only living planet under this starry sky. Here, it's a lonely planet. ”

After a pause, Zhao Dahe spoke again: "Okay, according to the plan, we will continue to circle the planet three times to check the situation." If nothing goes wrong after four laps, we'll try to open the ship and go into space.

Oh, and before that, let's drop a couple of little toys into space and we'll listen to a song together. ”

With that, the spacecraft dropped six satellites. Of course, it is not a one-time delivery, but a one-on-one delivery. Theoretically, at least three satellites can achieve global communication. However, Dayang Group decided to put six. Because it's not just communication satellites.

The launch of the satellite took almost nine hours, and the spacecraft circled the planet twice.

Then the spacecraft circled and tested at the same time. Before I knew it, it was the next day.

At this time, there are not many people left in the space center. Except for the shocking launch at the beginning, the rest seems to be a bit - it's not about hanging high, but it's not hanging high, it's all hanging in space.

However, this morning, everyone was shocked again. Because, Zhao Dahe decided to ...... Jump ship!

Jump ship from space and finally land on the ground!

Before landing on the ground, Zhao Dahe wanted to ...... Practice!

(I'm sorry, but when I got to the space stage, I suddenly didn't know how to write.) )
