Chapter 712 The First World 12
Feng Lin took the lead and deliberately stomped his feet as he stepped onto the gangway. The titanium alloy made a low echo. He turned around and grinned, "It's stronger than a tank deck!"
Everyone knew that he was eliminating danger for everyone.
Although he usually speaks in a hurry and looks careless, he is actually a very careful person.
The leader called out to everyone: "Everyone, follow me to the starship and take a look."
As soon as they entered the cabin, everyone slowed down their pace at the same time. The pressure on the starship was obviously heavier than on Blue Star.
The main passage of the dome is three stories high, and the wall panels on both sides are flexible star maps that project the outside night sky in real time.
The floor under your feet is embedded with a gravity-regulating membrane, which feels slightly elastic when you step on it.
There was a faint scent of fir in the air, the invigorating aroma released by the ion purifier.
The sense of technology inside the starship is overwhelming, with various advanced instruments and equipment standing around.
The top leader was also in the crowd. He looked at everything in front of him and was also shocked, but more of it was his expectation for the future development of the country.
"The ship maintains a gravity of one times that of the Blue Planet under normal conditions. The ship's system can proactively adjust the gravity down or up by 0.3 times to prevent bone calcium loss during long-term voyages or low gravity.
By regularly fine-tuning gravity and allowing bones and muscles to always bear different loads, it can stimulate bones to maintain density and prevent the problem of "bone calcium loss".
It’s like giving crew members a variable gravity gym, protecting bone health without any extra exercise.”
As she spoke, Ning Ning raised her hand and scratched the wall panel, and the gravity instantly dropped to 0.7. Several old generals subconsciously tiptoed, their gray hair fluttering gently, and they felt much more relaxed.
Old Xu reached out to touch the star map. Wherever his fingertips touched, the stars immediately magnified and parameters popped up: temperature, spectrum, distance, etc.
While everyone was visiting, Ning Ning took them to the main control room.
Ning Ning turned to look at the leader with a solemn and dignified expression.
"China's first starship test flight, requesting permission to depart."
"Approved." The leader smiled.
After getting permission, Ning Ning smiled brightly and skillfully operated the starship console.
The bridge lights dimmed, and the low hum of the engines sounded like the heartbeat of a giant whale.
None of the big guys were sitting in their seats. They all gathered in the operating room, watching Ning Ning operate.
As the sound of the engine rang out, about 0.7 seconds later, the starship "Sky-03" rose from the ground, and a blue-white ion light cone instantly pierced the sky. The sonic boom was shielded, leaving only a meteor-like arc of light sweeping westward.
In the ground monitoring station, the operator on duty was panicked when he saw the unknown target suddenly appearing on the radar. What was going on?
Immediately report to the higher-ups, "Unidentified aircraft detected, no identification signal found! Repeat..."
All countries in the world with ground monitoring stations were in chaos at this moment.
North America, Europe, Curry Pot... The red lights of the air defense networks of various countries flashed wildly, satellites adjusted, and infrared lenses all locked onto the "alien visitor".
In the starship's main control room, the bosses were immersed in another kind of shock.
The curved surface of the blue star quickly expanded in a short period of time, like a blue gem.
Since Ning Ning had no intention of flying far, the other bosses just wandered around the entrance of Blue Star.
Old Xu leaned against the window and sighed, "This... must be the astronaut's perspective."
Feng Lin is more concerned about combat effectiveness.
"Xiao Ning, can we test the main gun?"
"I'm afraid it won't work near Blue Star. If we fire a single shot, all the countries on Blue Star will discover us."
Ning Ning answered politely, but her heart skipped a beat.
Only now did she realize that the radar lock alarm was beeping.
Glancing at the panel, she realized she had forgotten to turn on the stealth mode.
At this time, the boss's phone also rang. It was the second-in-command calling.
"A UFO has been spotted in the sky. The spiritual beast disaster has just passed, and we didn't expect alien civilizations to get involved.
I suggest that we immediately organize an emergency meeting to discuss what to do next..."
The top leader answered the satellite phone and immediately understood what was going on when he heard what the second-in-command said.
He turned around and asked Ning Ning whether the starship could be invisible. For the time being, China did not want to expose these technologies that it had not yet fully mastered.
Of course there was no problem with that. She had already been cleaning up when she discovered a strange signal trying to connect to the starship.
After the top leader and the second-in-command explained the situation here, the second-in-command laughed heartily over the phone.
"Since it belongs to China, I know what it is.
People all over the world are in a panic, so we should also be on high alert. We can't be too independent.
However, next time you have such a good opportunity, you must take me with you. You are not being kind this time."
Knowing that there was no threat to China, the No. 2 leader said a few words, quickly hung up the phone, and went on to deal with other things.
During this period of time, Ning Ning drove the Sky-03 and made a U-shaped turn in space.
On the way, it turned on the stealth mode in the satellite's blind spot and returned to orbit.
Then he took all the big guys to fly around the earth.
When they returned to the original training ground, all the bosses still looked unsatisfied.
Feng Lin looked up at the sky and smacked his lips.
"Thirty minutes, and you've just circled Blue Star? I'm not satisfied yet."
Old Zhou tucked his crutch under his armpit and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
"I never thought that I could still set foot on a starship in my lifetime. It's worth it, it's worth it!"
The big boss and several other big guys walked at the end, with their hands behind their backs and faces full of satisfaction.
They discussed how long it would take China to fully grasp the knowledge of starships, what the difficulties would be, and if they failed in the battle with the spirit beasts, could the entire nation migrate to other planets.
After seeing the real starship, they are now more confident about the battle with the spirit beasts because this is a way of retreat.
The current situation of human beings is that they can attack when advancing and defend when retreating.
He stopped and looked at the starship parked on the training ground.
"Everyone," he began. His voice was low, but it made everyone stand in a semicircle. "What we saw tonight wasn't just a few machines. It was China's hope if it couldn't hold on to its territory."
Everyone fell silent, their eyes fixed on their leader; even the wind stopped.
“Although I believe we will not lose the battle against the spirit beasts, nor can we lose, the country’s territory cannot be ceded to invaders, and spirit beasts are no exception.
But,” the great leader looked around, “our people now have an extra way out when they are forced to do so.
You must seize the opportunity to practice and also make complete preparations for your retreat.
If it really comes to a last resort, we can still fight guerrilla warfare on a starship.
As long as the people are there, China's hope is there."
All the bosses including Ning Ning applauded to show their agreement, and the big boss asked Ning Ning to explain and demonstrate other things.
