Chapter 157: Forty Thousand Kilometers of Demonic Barrier
After a short wait, the white light gradually dissipated, and the originally transparent metal shell returned to its original appearance.
"Yi? What happened just now?"
Looking at this magical scene he had never seen before, Chen Fan finally couldn't suppress his curiosity: "Why did the metal shell of this computer suddenly become transparent?"
"A normal phenomenon in the particle-level scanning process."
Yi gave an answer: "Unlike basic scanning, particle-level scanning has higher power and accuracy. In the process of particles being penetrated by the scanning beam, a reversible change will occur. From a macroscopic perspective, the object becomes transparent."
Chen Fan suddenly realized, but then realized a problem: "Particle-level scanning?"
"You have this function? Why haven't I seen you use it before?"
"In that authority upgrade document, you didn't only read the information about weapons, did you?" There was a bit of weirdness in Yi's voice, "Single-soldier particle-level scanning is a function that only formal investigators can use."
"As for why you didn't use it before..."
"On the one hand, your authority is not enough, and on the other hand, theoretically, the impact of particle-level scanning on microscopic particles can be reversed, but considering that there are certain unexpected factors, this ultra-high-power particle-level scanning is usually not used on organisms and important objects."
"Accident?"
"Unlike the environment in the laboratory, there are all kinds of unpredictable interferences in the outside world. The recorded sequelae of particle scanning are mainly data loss, carbon-based cell cancer and necrosis, and damage to the internal structure of some high-precision devices..."
Listening to the series of sequelae reported by Yi, Chen Fan smacked his lips lightly.
Yes, technology is a double-edged sword, and this is really true.
Even as strong as the human network, it cannot completely eliminate the negative effects of high-end technology.
"The target hard disk data has been successfully restored."
While sighing, the electronic synthesis sound sounded again, and Chen Fan's eyes were also attracted by the holographic interface in front of him.
This is a log information about the rocket launch experiment, which also contains a lot of subjective records.
...
On January 26, 1711, Hai'an Deep Space Observatory, the first test launch record.
This launch is still a deep space observation satellite.
Considering what happened in the past 20 years, we specially carried out a comprehensive transformation of this rocket-the rocket is fully equipped with reactive armor and bulletproof steel plates on the outside.
To be honest, when making this rocket, I once thought we were building a heavy tank.
In order to send this heavy rocket into space, we spent a lot of time and energy on the rocket's propulsion system.
Even if we have greatly reduced the weight of the deep space observation satellite and other parts, the weight of a complete set of reactive armor and bulletproof steel plates is still too heavy for the original propulsion system to bear.
Fortunately, we were lucky and made a key breakthrough in our propulsion technology some time ago.
...
Chen Fan stared blankly at the information in the holographic projection.
Reactive armor and bulletproof steel plates are installed on the outside of the rocket?
The weight reduction measure is to reduce the weight of other parts and satellites inside the rocket?
What kind of new version of this ship is this?
And the events that happened in the past 20 years mentioned in the diary, what does that mean?
With countless confusions, Chen Fan continued to look at the launch log in front of him.
...
The maturity of propulsion technology has given this rocket named [Hope] hope to take off.
Today is a good day for launching a rocket. All researchers at the deep space observatory came to the control room on the first floor.
Everyone had a faint smile on their face, except for Deputy Station Chief Liang.
Before the launch, Deputy Station Chief Liang found me and applied to cancel the launch mission.
The reason turned out to be that he dreamed that the launch failed last night? !
Damn it, we have added the most advanced armor device to the outer layer of the rocket, and this launch will definitely not fail!
I think Deputy Station Chief Liang is out of his mind to say such words that shake the morale of the troops before the rocket launch!
I severely criticized Deputy Station Chief Liang.
I don't know why, but Deputy Station Chief Liang didn't care about my criticism. He looked dull, as if he had been hit by something, and he was still mumbling some words that others couldn't understand.
Although I had someone send Deputy Station Chief Liang to the medical room, his actions still poured cold water on the atmosphere in the control room.
The night is long and dreams are many. I didn't continue to wait. After completing the last inspection before the launch, I directly issued the launch order for the [Hope].
At the moment the countdown returned to zero, a gorgeous tail flame spurted out from the tail of the [Hope], and the gushing chemical fuel successfully sent the [Hope] equipped with heavy armor into the sky!
This is the victory of chemical fuel!
Those researchers who study the Hall propulsion device should really let them see this spectacular scene. This is the charm of chemical fuel!
As time went by, the height of [Hope] continued to rise. Its flight attitude was very stable, and all indicators were quite perfect.
Built on the experience of countless failures, [Hope] was just like its name, full of hope!
The carrier rocket separated successfully!
10,000 kilometers.
20,000 kilometers!
30,000 kilometers!!
Seeing that Hope was getting closer and closer to the damn 40,000 kilometers, the control room fell into complete silence.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the pointer symbolizing the altitude was getting closer and closer to the 40,000 kilometers marked in bright red.
Suddenly, the pointer jumped for the last time and successfully touched the 40,000-kilometer mark!
Success?
Seeing that the altitude numbers were still slowly climbing up, there were faint discussions in the control room.
But in the next second.
A shrill alarm suddenly sounded, and a few large words appeared on the screen in front of the control room.
[Signal Lost]
...
Seeing this, Chen Fan's face became solemn.
Obviously, the launch of the rocket named [Hope] has failed.
The reason for the failure is that it touched the so-called 40,000-kilometer mark.
It's not just Hope. Judging from the meaning revealed between the lines, the rockets launched in the past 20 years seem to have failed to break through the 40,000-kilometer altitude.
"Geometric orbit."
Yi's voice came from the side: "This machine has roughly calculated the various parameters of this planet before. 40,000 kilometers is exactly the height of the geostationary synchronous orbit of Varela."
"Forty thousand kilometers?"
"An integer?" Chen Fan was stunned, "What a coincidence?"
"It's indeed quite a coincidence, but there are so many coincidences in the universe. It's just the height of a synchronous orbit. There's nothing to be surprised about."
Although he was a little surprised, after hearing what Yi said, Chen Fan no longer paid attention to this issue.
"So, why can't these rockets cross the geostationary synchronous orbit?" Chen Fan pondered for a moment and asked.
"This machine doesn't know." Yi's voice also revealed a bit of confusion. "Theoretically, it is not difficult for this civilization to send a satellite to a synchronous orbit."
...
[Hope] exploded.
Damn it, I said that Deputy Station Chief Liang's name is unlucky!
Liang Ruyuan, Ruyuan, Ruyuan...
This name is obviously going to fail!
The video data sent back by the high-definition camera was played.
Just like the rockets that tried to cross the synchronous orbit in the past 20 years, [Hope] was hit by some unknown force at the moment it successfully crossed the 40,000-kilometer altitude.
The reactive armor and bulletproof steel plates we installed for it did not work at all.
In just a moment, a huge hole was torn open on its surface.
We didn't even see the attacker!
Continue to strengthen the shell of the rocket. One day, we can break through the shackles of 40,000 kilometers!
...
September 14, 1713.
The second test flight experiment.
Failed.
Even though we used the latest materials to make the shell of the rocket, it still couldn't withstand the unknown attack from 40,000 kilometers.
This time, I was outside the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory, watching a small flame appear in the dim sky.
I knew that [Hope No. 2] also exploded.
Two consecutive failures have dealt a great blow to the morale of the researchers.
But the research must continue, and the 40,000-kilometer barrier will surely be overcome by us!
...
1719.
The third test flight experiment failed.
[Hope No. 3] still did not break through 40,000 kilometers.
There was a dispute in the observatory, and some researchers wanted to pursue other breakthrough plans-such as increasing the speed of the rocket.
It sounds like a good plan to reduce the weight of the rocket as much as possible and break through the 40,000-kilometer barrier at the fastest speed.
Since we can't resist the unknown attack, let's escape from its attack range!
...
1725.
The fourth test flight failed.
The extremely lightweight [Hope IV] has the highest flight speed in history.
But... it still did not break through the 40,000-kilometer barrier.
In a ball of fire, it entered the same ending.
The research seemed to have entered a barrier.
This failure was a particularly severe blow to the researchers. Deputy Station Director Liang Ruyuan and many researchers chose to leave the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory.
Good! Good job! !
Next time, next time we will definitely succeed!
I want to see how much they will regret it then!
...
1729.
The fifth test flight failed.
The notice from above was issued.
Cancel the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory.
Not only the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory, but all deep space observatories have been abolished.
After consuming countless resources, the senior leaders have been completely desperate.
They decided to change their perspective-
since they can't climb to the sky, they will turn their attention to the ground and underground.
When I learned the news, I sat outside the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory for a whole night.
Looking at the unchanging starry sky, endless sorrow arose in my heart.
Will the future human beings survive by digging holes underground like rats? !
...
1730.
All researchers left the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory, and the superiors even sent people to move all the equipment in the control room.
Not only that, they even wanted to kick me out of the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory!
I won't leave!!
I am the stationmaster of the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory, and I can't leave as long as the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory is still there!
They said I was crazy.
I know, I'm not crazy.
I just want to see the world outside this planet!
So what if there are no researchers?
Even if I am the only one left, I will build a rocket that can cross the 40,000-kilometer magic barrier!!
