The transmitter that China used for the simulation experiment was really small; they practically crammed Chen Yang into it.
Because the modification was too troublesome, Chen Yang had no choice but to make do.
Chen Yang didn't care about the hardship; the important thing was that his family was there.
Especially in front of the two children, Chen Liu and Chen Nian.
Don't I have any pride?!
Chen Yang really wanted to complain, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only huddle in the launch bay feeling wronged.
The scientists in charge of the launch looked serious, all trying to suppress their laughter.
They didn't tell Chen Yang that the launcher was originally intended to house monkeys, but they were worried the monkeys would cause trouble inside, so they switched to using dummies of equal weight.
It's fine to stuff a mannequin in there, but it's really suffocating for a real person to be curled up like that.
Chen Yang urged them to close the cabin door quickly, because Li Su'er had already secretly taken out her phone. If they didn't close it, he would rather shoot the phone through with a throwing knife than leave behind such humiliating video footage.
Fortunately, the scientists gave Chen Yang some face and began preparations for launch after closing the hatch.
This launch site is located in an uninhabited area in northwest China. No one will ever see it.
It doesn't matter if you see it, it won't spread anywhere. Even if you film it, all you'll see is a transmitter flying into the sky.
Launches always need to be ceremonial, even if the launcher was originally intended to launch monkeys.
And for the launch of space instruments, there is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely a countdown.
Everyone present, including Li Su'er and her two children, began to count down.
Ten, nine... three! Two! One!
Even the simulated transmitters are technologically advanced, expensive, and quite imposing.
As a small mushroom cloud rose, Chen Yang went into the sky, truly and undeniably.
The transmitter is very fast, only fifty kilometers per hour, it's over in a minute.
The researchers kept a close eye on the data.
"We're here! Come out." One person shouted into the microphone.
Chen Yang, who had already ascended to the mesosphere, suddenly stretched out his body and smashed the hatch with a punch.
The launcher exploded, but it did not have a significant impact on Chen Yang.
The air beneath Chen Yang's feet condensed, and he began to run directly on the middle level.
The mesosphere, also known as the middle layer, refers to the atmospheric layer from the top of the stratosphere to 85 kilometers. It has a large vertical temperature lapse rate and strong convection.
Chen Yang's current location isn't particularly cold yet. When he ascends to 85 kilometers, the temperature can drop to as low as -113 degrees Celsius, a temperature that normal living beings cannot reach. Only Chen Yang can remain unaffected.
Chen Yang ran swiftly, leaping upwards at a height of fifty kilometers above the ground.
He can only run upwards in a spiral, and he can't rise at a ninety-degree angle yet.
There was still air around him, which allowed him to control his ascent.
The temperature was dropping continuously, and the temperature in the middle layer was dropping vertically. Chen Yang could already feel the violent winds around him.
This wind can freeze everything; it's especially cold.
Chen Yang was protected by a light-body wind, so he wasn't worried. He was also accumulating heat within his body, so he didn't feel cold.
At this rate, he should have no problem getting directly to the warm layer.
Chen Yang was also very fast. Even though it wasn't a straight ascent, it only took him about half an hour to reach the 85-kilometer mark.
This is the boundary between the thermosphere and the mesosphere; he has already completed his mission.
However, he can rise even higher, the higher the better.
Chen Yang boldly stepped into the warm layer.
The thermosphere, also called the thermosphere, sounds like a high-temperature layer, but its temperature is actually not high at all. At least, it's not high right now.
The temperature of the thermosphere rises vertically; the higher you fly, the higher the temperature.
It lies above the mesosphere and below the exosphere, with its top approximately 800 km above the Earth's surface. The air in the thermosphere is highly ionized by shortwave solar radiation, forming the ionosphere, which is where the aurora borealis occurs. (From Baidu)
Most importantly, the atmosphere here is extremely thin, which greatly reduces Chen Yang's control over the wind.
Sound has become very difficult to travel here.
Fortunately, although he hadn't reached the escape layer yet, the gravity here was weaker, allowing Chen Yang to resist a significant amount of gravity and continue ascending.
He was frantically gathering air, and when he rose to 200 kilometers, the air density was only one hundred billionth of that at ground level.
Chen Yang cheated directly, running for a while before opening a portal to the outer realm and stealing a large amount of air to gather around himself.
He was collecting air from the thermosphere, trying his best to prevent it from escaping so that it could continue to rise.
When they reached 300 kilometers, the air in the thermosphere became negligible, and Chen Yang was consuming the air from the outer zone and gathering it around himself.
It's impossible to completely control the air from dissipating, and the portal can't follow him. If the portal opens every hundred meters, it would be too energy-intensive and not worth it.
Therefore, Chen Yang gave up on ascending when he reached an altitude of over 300 kilometers. He left a tiny portal there, which could be used to expand his position when needed.
He estimated that he had saved one or two hundred billion in fuel.
Aviation fuel prices are shockingly high; flying your own plane can save you hundreds of billions of dollars, which is a great deal.
Chen Yang opened his arms and began to let gravity pull him into the embrace of Mother Earth.
He began to fall, and after he stopped using the lightness of his body, his inner clothes immediately caught fire, while the outer clothes, being gifts from the micro-world, did not.
At least, he won't land naked.
The lightness he felt on his body was gone, but the lightness on his head was gone; he had learned his lesson this time.
It's been a long time, but Chen Yang still doesn't feel it's here.
I'm getting a little bored...
It's quite bizarre that he would feel bored while free-falling at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Chen Yang never expected that he would have such an idea.
This made him find it somewhat amusing.
So he began to control gravity, to control the wind that made him move at an accelerated speed.
He was moving faster and faster, and soon he entered the middle layer.
Then, his surroundings caught fire due to intense air friction, and he was now just like a meteorite.
However, while most small meteorites would be worn away by the atmosphere during this process, he would not. He possessed lightness of body and immortality, which had no effect on him whatsoever.
Chen Yang continued his acceleration, his speed increasing until he was practically a shooting star.
And the people on the ground finally saw Chen Yang again.
Li Su'er pointed at Chen Yang and said to Chen Liu and Chen Nian, "Look, your dad is here, quickly make a wish."
