Because of safety considerations, Xu Jianguo deliberately chose a place far away from land to launch the satellite before setting off.
The small island where he and Fu Bo are currently located is an uninhabited island in the Atlantic Ocean.
It is nearly three thousand kilometers away from the nearest African continent.
The area of this small island is even slightly smaller than the area of his space, only 1.42 square kilometers.
The reason for choosing this place is, first, because it is far away from the land, second, because there is no one living here, and third, because of the unique geographical structure of this island.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that the shape of this island is bowl-shaped, that is, the four sides are high and the middle is low, a bit like the shape of a crater.
However, according to the coordinate information on the map in his mind, this island is not a volcanic island, so Xu Jianguo does not have to worry about launching a satellite here causing other problems.
Since the system rewarded him with 32 satellites yesterday, Xu Jianguo has not had time to go to the warehouse to take a look, so when he took out one of the satellites, he couldn't help but show an expression of surprise on his face.
In his previous life, he had been to the Aerospace Museum and had seen with his own eyes a full-scale replica of a satellite that had been successfully launched by the Longxia Kingdom. However, compared with the satellite that the system rewarded him with, the gap seemed to be quite large.
If the Longxia satellite he had seen in his previous life was compared to an ostrich egg, then the satellite rewarded to him by the system was a rutin egg.
The actual size is only slightly larger than a basketball. It is oval in shape, with one end larger than the other. There are three metal brackets under the large end to ensure that it can be parked firmly on the ground.
The entire surface of the satellite reflects a metallic luster under the moonlight.
Xu Jianguo didn't know what material the satellite was made of, but what he knew was that it should be a metal with extremely high density.
With his current physical strength, he would need to use all his strength to lift it just a little bit off the ground.
After circling the satellite, Xu Jianguo suddenly thought of another function gained after this upgrade, which is the scanning function of the Eye of Time and Space. He wanted to try to see if he could replicate the internal structure of the satellite.
But to his disappointment, the Eye of Time and Space was unable to complete the scanning and copying as he wished.
[Ding, the system reward item cannot be scanned and copied. If the host needs it, you can continue to upgrade. After the upgrade is completed, the system mall may open up purchase permissions.]
"Okay!" Xu Jianguo curled his lips helplessly as he listened to the system prompt sound coming from his mind.
"System, how do I launch a satellite?"
[Ding, the host only needs to place the satellite in an open space and issue the launch command through thought! ]
"Understood. Can I launch 32 satellites at the same time?"
[Ding, OK! Host, please control the satellite launch distance to more than ten meters, otherwise uncontrollable situations will occur!]
"learn!"
Xu Jianguo thought to himself that it was a good thing he asked, otherwise there might really be problems.
After finishing the conversation with the system, Xu Jianguo and Fu Bo continued to take out the satellites stored in space, and according to the system prompts, they made the distance between each satellite reach more than ten meters.
After the two of them placed all the satellites on the open space in the center of the uninhabited island, Xu Jianguo took Fu Bo and evacuated to a distant place.
Then, he gave the system the command to launch in his mind.
As the launch command was issued, a ray of light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the 32 satellites in the distance. Then the light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned from a point into a long blue-purple flame.
Unlike the satellite launch scenes that Xu Jianguo had seen in his previous life, when these 32 satellites slowly floated up, there was no huge noise at the scene.
The sound heard in the ears is more like the buzzing sound of a windproof lighter spewing out blue flames.
However, just when he thought that was all, the blue-purple flame at the bottom of the satellite suddenly flashed a dazzling white light, and then the tail flame that was more than a foot long suddenly became one meter, followed by a huge roar. In just a moment, Xu Jianguo felt as if his head was hit hard by a sledgehammer, and he became a little dizzy.
But this is not the end. As the satellite's tail flame intensified, the sand and gravel at the bottom were constantly squeezed by the flames and shot out in all directions. Some fist-sized stones even flew towards Xu Jianguo and Fu Bo who were standing a hundred meters away.
Xu Jianguo was so angry that he immediately said to the system in his mind: "System, you almost killed me!"
[Ding, host, please speak up if you have something to say, don't talk nonsense!]
"I...why didn't you tell me that when the satellite was launched..."
[Ding, stop talking!]
"What do you mean?"
[Ding, you didn’t ask? ]
“I%#%…&%￥&())()”
“Crack!”
Just as Xu Jianguo was talking nonsense, a purple lightning bolt as thin as a fishing line suddenly fell from the dark night sky and struck him on the head accurately.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Jianguo felt as if his soul was sublimated. After exhaling a puff of white smoke from his mouth, he lay straight on the ground.
Fu Bo, who was standing next to him, was still standing there with an expressionless face, as if he didn't see anything.
At this time, Xu Jianguo felt aggrieved, but when he looked at the 32 dazzling stars gradually rising in the sky, a smile still appeared at the corner of his mouth.
But what he didn't know was that when these 32 satellites rose to an altitude of nearly 100 meters, a shrill alarm was heard in the operations hall of a naval headquarters in Magnesium.
This sudden scene startled several officers on duty. They felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy. They quickly put down the coffee cups in their hands and ran towards the operations hall in a hurry.
"Ross, what happened?" Lieutenant Colonel Ellison came to the radar monitoring station and asked breathlessly.
"Report to the commander, radar has detected an unknown aircraft near the Karuta Islands in the Atlantic Ocean!" said Ross.
"What are the numbers, distances, and speeds? Can we map the target?"
"Number 32, distance 3,900 kilometers, speed..."
"Tell me quickly, what's the speed?!" Ellison said anxiously.
"Report to the commander, its speed... is Mach 27!"
"What? That's impossible! Damn it, Ross, now is not the time for you to joke around!"
"Sir, it's really Mach 27!" Ross said.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with our radar?"
"Yes, I'm sure!"
Ellison stared at Ross for a long time. After making sure that he didn't seem to be lying, he froze in place, and then a look of horror appeared on his face.
