For the sake of research: the beginning of the announcement of the combat mech

Chapter 531 We have officially entered the sea of ​​stars!

The voice fell.

Ten Space Fleet fighters wearing fifth-generation Qinglong mechs looked at each other and clenched their fists. They walked into the No. [-] hanging box in unison, their eyes full of determination.

At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are cast together.

"It's started, it's started, it's finally going to start."

"Excited heart, trembling hands, I can say that I dare not take a breath now."

"Such a big guy goes to the sky, good guy, it's really outrageous. I have to say that my knowledge of technology limits my imagination. Is this thing going to a [-]-kilometer low-earth orbit?"

"According to internal sources, this test run is just the simplest load-carrying operation. Ten soldiers can add up to 700 kilograms at most, which is already terrible. Don't forget, the space elevator is mainly used to handle space resources Yes, all kinds of ores."

After several generations of iterative updates.

The fifth-generation Qinglong mecha has been equipped with engine technology capable of short-term flight, which can ensure the greatest degree of error caused by the failure of the hanging box during the operation of the space elevator.

This is why Bai Fan directly skipped the no-load operation and went directly to the test with a man on a horse.

On the one hand, it is due to time. With the improvement of the level, the difficulty of applying various new technologies is also increasing, and the time consumption is also increasing day by day. What Bai Fan wants is to add more technical support when he is capable and most motivated .

On the other hand, the preparatory work has been fully completed. At the beginning of the year, the empty space elevator has been tested no less than 100 times under the leadership of Nüwa. In these more than 100 tests, except for a small number of bugs and material problems, basically There are no other major fatal problems.

But in the actual process, manning is required, and manning is also the most complicated and dangerous part of all situations.

"The Nüwa space elevator system is self-checking..."

"Starting the engine."

"The engine is on..."

Accompanied by the sound of Nuwa's machinery, orange flames spewed out from four directions of the No. 10 gondola that was originally parked on the port. Ten Mach rings were clearly visible. The hot flame evaporated instantly when it touched the water below, and the whole The field turned into a foggy one.

"Engine started normally."

"Accelerating..."

"Height 1 kilometer."

"Height 5 kilometer."

"Height 10 kilometer."

.........

In the eyes of everyone's attention, the No. [-] gondola successfully operated, and amidst the roar of the engine, it was heading towards space at high speed, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

at the same time.

The people in front of the live broadcast room began to cheer.

They seem to have seen victory.

Representatives of all major powers and forces looked at each other with joy on their faces.

They know that the smooth implementation of the space elevator project has truly opened the door to deep space, and the entire earth civilization, including them, will usher in a new leap.

The engineers in the control center monitored the data of each system with breathless concentration to ensure the safe operation of the elevator. Even with Nuwa's assistance, they did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

What an international joke.

If something happens at this juncture, it will be catastrophic for the entire scientific research and the strategy of advancing into deep space.

So absolutely can't go wrong.

"The tension and bending of the hanging box cable are normal, and the temperature is also within the expected range, and continue to rise and fall."

Ye Fan in the control center looked at the various sensor data parameters returned by Nuwa, and reported word by word.

"The oxygen concentration, temperature, and humidity in the elevator cabin are normal."

"The vital signs of the ten soldiers are good."

"The next round of track monitoring checks will take place in ten seconds."

Nuwa's self-test system sounded again.

"The curvature of the elevator track, the position accuracy meet the requirements, the magnetic field is stable, and the elevator can continue to lift."

An engineer replied.

While several people were talking, the height of the No. [-] hanging box continued to rise.

"This is the Space Fleet. I am Ark. The entire fleet is running well. The first and second fleets are currently at the same level as the elevator gondola, and are following at a constant speed."

"The main fleet is waiting on the Carmen line."

"I repeat, the main fleet is waiting outside the Karmen Line."

At this time, with the further passage of time, Ark also came in to provide you with the latest security news.

About 3 minutes passed.

Nu Wa's mechanical sound sounded again, echoing throughout the control center.

"Report: At present, the orbital height of the space elevator gondola is 100 kilometers, and it is jumping over the Karman line. Three seconds later, the space elevator will officially enter outer space and leave the earth's atmosphere."

All eyes turned to the big screen.

Against the background of the vast expanse of deep space.

The No. [-] crane of the space elevator, which is rising rapidly, is like a small shooting star.

It's so inconspicuous.

It's hard to spot without looking carefully.

But in the eyes of everyone in the control center on the ground, this small No. [-] hanging box bursts out with a brighter light, shining on the progress of the entire human being and the entire earth civilization.

"Crossing the Karman line, it's basically the same."

As the person in charge of the aerospace department, Lin Yihan really doesn't know the technology involved, he smiled and congratulated Bai Fan in advance.

"There are still 300 kilometers left."

"You can't relax."

Bai Fan nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Yihan's statement.

But a pair of eyes are still fixed on the big screen.

"Space Fleet position captured."

"The engine of the No. [-] gondola of the space elevator is normal, and the braking force is being reduced."

"100%."

"90%."

"7%."

.........

"The No. [-] gondola is heading to the predetermined position of the orbital space station."

"Arrive in about 10 minutes."

"Repeat again, arrive in about 3 minutes."

As the test run continued, the space elevator conducted a series of experiments and observations at high altitude, including but not limited to the performance of various materials and stress changes, to conduct reliable safety tests and risk assessments for the subsequent official operation of the space elevator .

3 minute later.

The No. [-] gondola of the space elevator came to the end area of ​​the entire elevator.

That is, low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 450 kilometers above the ground.

This is also the orbital altitude of the Buzhoushan space station two months later.

It is also an important transit station for docking with the earth and the moon.

"This is the control center, report your current situation."

Signals from the ground sounded in gondola number one.

At this time, ten warriors were already floating in the air, watching the universe up close through the transparent pod glass.

"Report to the command center, everything is fine now."

"Report to the command center, everything is fine now."

.........

"Very well, this is a rare opportunity. It is different from the fleet. Cherish it well. During the trial run, in addition to conducting experiments according to the plan, you must also pay attention to observing and recording all possible abnormalities."

Ye Fan said calmly.

The soldiers responded unanimously: "Understood, don't worry, we will conduct experiments strictly according to the plan, and pay close attention to the operation of the elevator."

After an hour of trial run of the elevator.

On the ground, at the Space Elevator Industrial Center, at the scene of the press conference.

With a smile on his face, Bai Fan solemnly announced to the world:
"I declare that from today onwards, the space elevator is running successfully."

"We have also officially entered the sea of ​​stars."
