Chapter 639 Tears of Satellite
As we all know, the first cosmic velocity is the speed at which an object moves in a circular motion around a planet.
If the speed is lower than this, it will fall down; if the speed is higher than this, it will fly out.
But if you just want to fly out of the planet, you don't need such a high speed, you can just go against the gravity vertically.
Ordinary rockets don't do this because they are too heavy, and flying along the tangent of the planet's rotation is the most energy-saving.
But Lin Wen is different. He weighs only 70 kilograms, and the iron block under his feet weighs only 5 kilograms, for a total weight of 75 kilograms.
Once [Object Control Technique] is activated, just go up directly.
There just happened to be a "Panlong Fruit" that could halve the consumption of [Object Control Technique]. So Lin Wen had no worries and ascended to heaven directly on the spot.
Soon, Lin Wen broke through the troposphere and reached the stratosphere.
The temperature dropped sharply and the air became thinner and thinner. Lin Wen activated [Qi Ban Divine Power], [Spirit Cat's Swiftness] and [Void Visibility].
Among them, [Void Revealed] is the most important. This spell can turn his physical energy inward, eliminating the need to breathe and protecting him from cold and heat.
But after all, they were going to outer space, so for safety reasons, Lin Wen activated [Summon Clouds to Protect the Moon], [Spiritual Nectar], and [A Thousand-Mile Eye].
As the air resistance decreased, the effectiveness of the [Object Control Technique] increased significantly. Lin Wen's speed increased steadily and he soon broke through the stratosphere and reached the mesosphere.
From here, he could already overlook the entire empire.
Lin Wen continued to fly upwards, and soon he broke through the middle layer and reached the outer layer.
The atmosphere here is extremely thin, less than one trillionth of that on the ground, and the air resistance is close to zero.
Elementary school students who have learned Newton's law know that in the absence of resistance, objects can only move at a constant speed or with acceleration. The only thing that the [Object Control Technique] needs to fight against is the increasingly smaller gravity of the planets.
About an hour later, Lin Wen broke through the outer layer and officially arrived in outer space. [Colorful Phoenix] sounded a slight warning. The cosmic rays broke through the defense of the spell and caused slight damage to his body, but [Spirit Nectar] repaired it in an instant.
As long as there's no sudden burst of high-energy gamma rays, there's no problem.
Lin Wen looked around and saw that it was no different from before, so he immediately lost interest.
He asked [Wen Yu Tian]:
Where are the satellites near me?
Cost: 25%
Answer:
Explorer-1 satellite, orbital inclination 33.34, perigee 360 km, apogee 2531 km, period 114 minutes...
[Laikai satellite, orbital inclination 33.37...]
A series of data was reported.
Lin Wen began to adjust his position based on the data. In an environment without gravity and resistance, the efficiency of [Object Control Technique] was very high and the consumption was very low.
Soon, Lin Wen arrived at the predetermined track.
Suddenly, [Shen Wu Cai Feng] began to scream miserably. Lin Wen quickly came to his senses and pulled himself down violently.
call!
A black shadow rushed past overhead at unimaginable speed.
It is the satellite that orbits at the first cosmic velocity.
If this thing hits your body, no ordinary spell can defend against it.
It is not easy to stop it.
What should I do?
Lin Wen thought for a moment and decided to use his ultimate move. He used [Morning Star of Destiny] to strengthen [Small Incarnation Technique], then summoned an incarnation and possessed it.
In this way, he would have temporary cultivation and be able to use some of his own spells without damage and without consuming his spirit.
After the strengthening, the incarnation's possession state became even more powerful. Lin Wen felt the magic power surging all over his body. Under the circulation of spiritual power, his thinking was clear, his perception was sharp, and everything was reflected in his heart like a mirror.
With a wave of his hand, thousands of magical lights flew out and formed a magic net in the air.
Lin Wen flew to another track and opened the French net. In an instant, a black shadow crashed into the French net.
With a flash of inspiration, the French Open stretched out rapidly, stretching out for thousands of meters.
But the inspiration continues and the law cannot be broken.
Finally, the satellite's kinetic energy was exhausted and it slowly stopped. The French net shrank and sent the satellite in front of Lin Wen.
It had no damage, and the long solar-powered lens wings were intact. The main body was a large iron box three meters square, with only a signal transmitter and a retractable lens at one end.
It doesn't look particularly advanced.
Lin Wen studied it for a while, but still had no idea what it was used for or how to operate it.
"Take it with you first."
A ray of light stretched out, bound the satellite, and dragged it behind him.
Lin Wen quickly flew upwards and continued to capture satellites in higher orbits.
At the same time, news of satellites losing contact began to appear on the ground. At first, it was thought to be an accidental incident, but as more and more satellites lost contact, major powers and power groups in the world felt that something was wrong.
Southwest District.
Frontline command post.
The fierce fighting that was going on subsided.
Qin Gang frowned and asked, "Reconnaissance satellites, weather satellites, communication satellites, broadcast satellites, navigation satellites, more than half of them have lost contact?"
The scientist at the satellite station replied, "Yes, Commander, they all lost contact within a few hours."
Minister of Internal Affairs Lei Xiangwen frowned and asked, "Did it go off track? Or was the communication code cracked?"
The scientist shook his head: "Impossible."
The generals looked at each other in confusion. Satellite communication is a very important part of war. Without it, they can only use ground wired communication.
Not only is it troublesome, but there is also the risk of disruption.
A general suddenly asked, "Is it the Western Federation that's behind this?"
"Yes, that old witch helped us launch a satellite at a very cheap price. There must be something fishy going on. She must have tampered with our satellite."
Qin Gang was silent for a moment, then said, "Send a letter to question the Federation Saint. The attack plan remains unchanged, and communications will switch to the ground backup link."
"Yes!" The generals said in unison.
This scene is also being played out in various places. Even the satellite communications agency of the Supreme Council is looking for their satellites.
But due to the tense relations between different places, the news did not spread.
All major forces kept a tight lid on the situation, trying to pretend that communications were normal and not affected in any way.
But after ruling out various possible factors, they began to wonder in their hearts whether someone had developed the legendary satellite-based weapons and shot down their satellites.
No one knew that Lin Wen was in outer orbit, catching a large string of satellites like fishing, and hanging them behind his butt.
[Small Incarnation] is indeed a very powerful spell, and it once shone brightly on the battlefield of the Papal States.
It’s just that because its consumption is too high, Lin Wencai rarely uses it.
After being strengthened, its power was increased to a new level. Lin Wen flew freely in the space, constantly using [Asking the Way to the Sky] to locate himself, frantically capturing satellites in orbit.
From low orbit to high orbit, if it weren't for the excessive consumption of the incarnation and the long duration, Lin Wen would have wanted to stay here for a whole day and catch all the satellites in his pocket.
But this is outer space after all. If his spirit is used up and the spell ends, he will easily become garbage floating forever in the abyss of space.
That's not fun at all.
So, with only one hour left in the spell, Lin Wenzhi chose to return.
His spirit is less than 100% left, and his luck is running out.
Although there are still several satellites in orbit, it is time to return.
Lin Wen sighed lightly, turned around and flew towards the ground. There was a long string of spiritual light hanging on his waist, which contained hundreds of satellites.
It is still a little difficult to return to the atmosphere with this satellite weighing hundreds of tons.
But they have to return. These satellites need to be adjusted and modified before they can become Changshan County’s satellites and be used by Changshan County.
Lin Wen couldn't do this in space.
I can only return to the ground first.
Lin Wen tried to use the [Object Control Technique] to lift up these hundreds of satellites, but it was obvious that hundreds of tons of things were beyond his limit. With the "Panlong Fruit" reduced by half, his soul also rapidly decreased.
Lin Wen had no choice but to use his spiritual light to help slow down. The duration of the incarnation was rapidly decreasing, and he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Under the dual effects of [Object Control Technique] and incarnation, these hundreds of satellites finally landed safely, right at the dock of Changshan County.
It was already late at night, and Lin Wen really didn't want to move. He called Fermi to come and pick up the goods, and then went back to his room to sleep.
We also need to send satellites into space, and we cannot do that without sufficient spiritual energy.
Fermi was woken up in the middle of the night and had to go to the dock with a group of assistants. When he saw the satellites lying on the dock like garbage, he thought he was hallucinating.
And when they confirmed that these were all real satellites.
Everyone's jaw broke free from the constraints of their mandible.
——
In order to allow Fermi to work with peace of mind, Lin Wen had to make up a story about an unnamed expert who donated the satellite.
As for why these satellites are all in an unfolded state and some are even still working, that is naturally a secret that cannot be revealed.
Soon, with the efforts of all the staff of the No. 99 Scientific Research Institute, the systems of these 231 satellites were reset, new keys were added, and they became satellites of Changshan County.
Changshan County specially built a satellite station to communicate with these satellites.
Fermi replanned their orbits, but the problem arose again. Changshan County didn't have a rocket. What should it do?
Qin Luoshuang contacted the only person who was able and willing to help them.
Saint Singh of the Western Federation.
However, because of Lin Wen's trickery last time, she retaliated by offering a sky-high price: "10 billion for one satellite, no bargaining, payment first, launch later, no responsibility after the rocket leaves the ground."
He looked like he didn't care whether he wanted it or not, which made the people who went to negotiate with him very angry.
Everyone in Changshan County was worried about this, but no one blamed Lin Wen. After all, Changshan County had gained a lot from that wave of benefits, which solved their urgent problems.
The saint's betrothal gift was indeed very generous. It was no wonder that she was so angry after being cheated out of so much money.
But the question now is what to do?
Without satellite communications, the battlefield cannot be covered, Changshan County’s ground link capabilities are very weak, and the Mecha Corps is the one that most needs to maintain contact to exert its tactical power.
Many of their communication mechanisms are based on satellite communications.
Qin Luoshuang asked, "Mr. Fei, Mr. Hai, how long would it take if we built a rocket ourselves?"
Mr. Fei shook his head slightly: "This is a systematic project. Changshan County has only been developing for a short time, so it will take a long time to accumulate experience."
Hai Damu said, "The only feasible solution is to purchase some rocket parts and assemble them into a rocket. Perhaps we can quickly send these satellites to their designated orbits."
"It's difficult." Mr. Fei still shook his head. "We're not rocket experts. Launching a rocket is the real challenge."
Everyone fell silent. Li Linyue was the only one in the entire meeting room who appeared relaxed. She smiled and said, "I believe Dad... Lin Wen will find a way."
Qin Luoshuang hesitated for a moment, but still called Lin Wen over.
Lin Wen, looking sleep-deprived, yawned and said, "What are you worried about? I said I'd send the satellite into space soon. Just prepare 3,000 tons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for me, and then pack the satellite for me."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. When Fermi was about to ask again, Lin Wen had already left.
Two days later.
Lin Wen finally accumulated another 10,000 good karmas and took a single draw.
I was lucky this time and drew "沧海桑田".
"The world changes so dramatically": moving the soul from the future to the present, the farther into the future, the more the soul will be consumed.
This is God's destiny.
Lin Wen laughed. His spirit power had just recovered to 200, and he was worried that it was not enough.
With the "沧海桑田" (The Cang Hai Sang Tian) there will be no problem.
Lin Wen immediately restored his spirit to full strength, and then began to rub the rockets with his hands.
Since this launch is to carry a satellite weighing several hundred tons, it is no longer practical to use the [Object Control Technique] and a rocket must be used.
Lin Wen imitated Mercury V and rolled a shell, put 3,000 tons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into it, and then stuffed the packaged satellite into it.
The whole rocket looks like a big fat man, extremely fat.
Lin Wen slightly modified the appearance to make it look less scientific.
In this way, the "Mercury V" was officially completed.
This is an indescribable giant rocket. It is one hundred meters high, one hundred meters wide, and weighs four thousand tons. There is no electrical equipment inside, only fuel, packaged satellites, and some necessary mechanical structures. It is a complete empty shell.
In order to prevent it from falling apart, Lin Wen used [Qiankun Refining] to slightly strengthen some of the outer shell and key supporting points.
Afterwards, Lin Wen used the [Morning Star of Destiny] to strengthen the [Paper Man Puppet] and made more than 50,000 paper man talismans in one breath, all of which were pasted inside the rocket.
Lin Wen asked, "Can it fly?"
Rocket waved a hatch on the fuselage, making a clanging sound, indicating yes.
"Okay, then get ready for takeoff."
Lin Wen sat in the cockpit of the rocket, ready to start the world's first manned space journey in human history.
Before taking off, Lin Wen called Fermi and Heidarmer.
"Hey, Mr. Fei, Mr. Hai, I'm ready to launch the rocket."
"What?"
Fermi and Heidelberg exclaimed in unison; they were still calculating the orbits and angles.
Hai Damer shouted wildly: "Headmaster Lin, we are not ready yet!"
Fermi knew Lin Wen better and immediately asked, "When is the estimated takeoff time?"
"ten……"
"Ten months later?" Haidamo asked, "That's a bit too fast. It would be better if it could be extended a little bit!"
"Nine……"
"Nine months?" Hai Damer asked anxiously, "That's too short. We're bound to fail."
"eight……"
Fermi and Heidamer looked at each other and asked tentatively, "Eight days?"
"seven……"
A bad thought occurred to Fermi: "Seven hours?"
Haidamo grabbed his hair fiercely: "Wait, wait, I haven't finished calculating the trajectory yet..."
"six……"
Fermi's heart sank. "Six minutes?"
"five……"
Hai Damer said angrily: "What time is it? Tell me!"
"Four, three, two, one."
boom!
A huge roar resounded throughout Changshan County. Fermi and Heidarmer rushed out of the laboratory. Everyone in the institute came out, all craning their necks to look into the distance.
In the distance, huge flames lit up the sky, dragging the huge cylindrical rocket into the sky.
Fermi and Heidamer's jaws nearly broke. This was a super rocket carrying 3,000 tons of fuel and 231 satellites. How could it be suddenly launched in just a few days?
Moreover, looking at the stable flame spraying and the stable flight of the rocket, at least at this moment, it is successful.
Is this even possible?
Fermi and Heidamer felt like their worldviews were about to explode.
Are there really miracles in this world?
Everyone watched the long trail of the rocket dissipate in the sky as if they were on pilgrimage.
Nothing went wrong until it was out of sight.
Then, the radio broadcast the successful launch of Changshan County's first rocket, the Mercury V. The announcer said in an excited tone: "...This is an unprecedented rocket. It has set many historical records, broken through bottlenecks in countless fields, and achieved the miracle of manned space flight for the first time..."
Fermi and Heidegger looked at each other. Manned space flight?
Heidamo asked tentatively, "Who's on the rocket?"
Fermi had a bad feeling and immediately called Lin Wen, but the call was not connected.
Haidamo couldn't believe it. "Head of County Lin went to space himself? Did he have a space suit? Did he have a return capsule?"
Fermi was even more anxious: "The rocket's trajectory seems wrong. It is not along the tangent of its rotation. It may have deviated from its course."
"No way, Lao Fei, you are not scaring me, are you?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and use the monitoring equipment to measure the rocket's trajectory and contact the people at the Mars Launch Center. Maybe there's still room for recovery."
However, they hadn't anticipated that the newly established rocket launch center would be filled with nothing but a bunch of paper puppets, all of which would reply with "Thank you, I received it. If you're satisfied, please press 1. If you're very satisfied, please press 2. If you're extremely satisfied, please press 3."
——
On the rocket.
Lin Wen asked, "Are you feeling okay?"
Rocket patted a cover on the cockpit to indicate that it was okay.
"Is it hot?"
Rocket waved the lid like a fan to indicate a point.
Lin Wen thought about it and used the [Frost Technique]. A chill spread from the cockpit to the rocket shell.
Rocket patted the lid happily to show that he was very comfortable.
"How much fuel is left?"
The rocket lifted the cap two-thirds of the way up, indicating that two-thirds of the fuel was still there.
"Well, in that case, getting to the upper track should be no problem."
While the rocket was flying, Lin Wen continued to use [Immortal Guidance] to determine the direction and [Object Control Technique] to fine-tune the angle of the rocket.
About three hours later, the rocket reached the upper orbit. The paper puppet used up its last bit of time to spit out the satellite from its stomach, ending its short but glorious life.
After all, it was a huge thing weighing thousands of tons, and tens of thousands of reinforced paper figures were a bit of a stretch, and the spell time was exhausted ahead of time.
It was much easier in a zero-gravity environment. Lin Wen flew to the predetermined orbit, took out the satellite from the package, activated [The Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers], [The Power of Qi], and [The Swiftness of the Spirit Cat], roared, threw the satellite out with all his strength, and used [The Art of Controlling Objects] to accelerate with all his strength.
The satellite flew out at a predetermined angle, quickly reached the predetermined speed, and entered the predetermined orbit.
"good."
Lin Wen smiled and continued to launch the satellite along the orbital altitude.
Before long, from high to low, all 231 satellites entered the predetermined orbit.
Lin Wen threw away the satellite package, laughed loudly, and dived directly towards the earth.
This time, without the satellite to hold him back, he is not afraid of the heat.
[Qi Jin Divine Power] plus [Xuwu Jian Xing] are enough to withstand temperatures of thousands of degrees.
So, on a night when no one was paying attention, a meteor streaked across the sky and fell into Changshan County.
