As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 187 ILRS Plan Ten Years Ahead
"No, really no, it's too far from Manchester to London."

Herman was out of breath, and his build was that of the typical obese white child who grows up with a bigger belly than his head.

He was too tired to get out of Manchester on the track along Central Station and King's Cross Station.

"I said, can our adventure plan run aground? It's too tiring to just walk."

"Can our plan wait for me to drive to London after I get my driver's license this summer?"

Lawrence is slightly thinner, but his physical strength is much better than Herman. He shook his head and said:

"How could we just give up like that?"

"How far has this gone? The Manchester area isn't out yet."

Herman's head was covered with sweat: "The problem is that it's too hot now, can we wait for the weather to cool down before going?"

"After the fall semester is over it's a good time."

Herman looked up at the sun in the sky and said.

Lawrence shook his head: "If we finish going, if there are items left by the magician, they may be picked up by others."

"There are so many explorers recently, I can't guarantee that no one else will discover this secret."

Magic has become Blue Star's prominent learning, and Sky TV in England has a special program every night to introduce knowledge related to magic.

The magic club in the university has become the most popular club, and there are many activities for students to form groups to explore the traces of magic.

The University of Manchester also has a magical society, and Lawrence and Herman are also members of the magical society.

Lawrence is very confident in the secret he discovered, and he wants to keep it a secret, and he doesn't want more people to know.

So he only brought his best friend Herman with him.

It's just that he didn't expect the other party's physical problems, and he was already out of breath in about half an hour.

"Have you ever thought that if we can find traces of the existence of the magical society and become a magician, you will never have to walk by yourself again."

"Any space teleportation can go from Manchester to London."

After thinking about it carefully, Herman felt that this bit of suffering was nothing, and squeezed his fist full of flesh:
"Okay, I'll keep going."

"I can't hold on anymore, how long is it from Manchester to London?"

Lawrence glanced at his watch and said helplessly, "It's only been 10 minutes."

"It's about 200 miles from Manchester to London."

Herman pulled up his legs and walked back: "20 miles, I might bite my teeth and follow you."

"Two hundred miles, I'm afraid I'll have to confess myself here."

"Besides, our vacation is only five days long. To know two hundred miles, it takes at least a month to travel."

Lawrence nodded and said, "So what I'm thinking about is how far we can go in these five days, and finally take the train back to Manchester."

"Perhaps we've only traveled less than twenty miles and found the magic."

"You need to persist in doing anything, how can you just give up like this?"

Herman shook his head: "I don't think I have the perseverance to persevere, so I might as well give up early."

"Giving up is just an option, it doesn't mean failure."

"You go, I will wait for the good news of your triumphant return at the apartment."

No matter how Lawrence persuaded, Herman was unwilling to continue.

Because in his opinion, it is still unclear whether traces of magic can be found, and it is unknown what benefits they will get if they find it.

It's better to go back to the apartment and lie on the sofa drinking iced Coke and playing games.

I just bought Futureverse and haven't played enough yet.

At this time, rationality re-occupied Herman's brain.

Originally, Herman thought he was just coming out to play an adventure game for a day.

He thinks it's a good arrangement to spend one day exploring outside during the five-day vacation. Fat people also need exercise.

But if five days of vacation are spent exploring in the scorching sun, he might as well go exploring in the virtual world.

Lawrence asked, "You really don't want to take risks with me?"

Hearing the pleading in Lawrence's tone, Herman thought for a moment and said:
"It's not that I don't want to take risks with you, but that such an adventure is a very inefficient one."

"Just relying on a sentence in Rowling's interview, we have to expend so much energy."

Lawrence argued: "But many people have followed the route from Manchester to London to find traces of magic."

The popularity of the route from Manchester to London is second only to the prehistoric Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain in southern England.

Legend has it that Stonehenge was moved from Ireland to England by a spell cast by Merlin.

The English guessed that this was the magic circle established by Merlin.

Herman interrupted: "That's right, there may be traces of magic."

"I also admire your preparations this time, including that I have never thought about going to Central Station before."

"The evidence you presented is enough to convince me, but it is too difficult to find traces of magic by walking on our two legs."

"I think we need to do more preparation, including looking for places where historical myths and legends related to magic overlap with this route."

"Instead of walking along this railway line completely."

"After I get my driver's license in the summer vacation, I can still bring my dad's car and walk along this road."

Lawrence was a little dejected: "Okay, you go back to the apartment first, I want to go around by myself."

Three days later, Herman, who was playing the VR version of "The Witcher 3" in the two-bedroom apartment they rented, heard the sound of someone opening the door.

The brain gave the command directly, and the VR screen switched to the main interface. He took off the VR, and then looked at Lawrence whose face was full of exhaustion.

Lawrence was blackened by more than one degree.

Herman thought it was a wise decision not to continue.

If you change from a white fat man to a black fat man, then you really don't want to find a girlfriend in college.

Although he hasn't found it yet.

Herman comforted: "It's normal not to find anything. I haven't heard of anyone in England who has found anything yet."

Lawrence waved his finger: "Who said it wasn't found?"

Herman jumped up from the sofa: "What discovery? Show me quickly!"

Lawrence put his hand against him: "Who told you not to go with me?"

Herman said helplessly, "I'm considering practical factors, and I didn't say I won't go with you."

"It's just that I won't go with you this time."

"The first thing I did after I got my driver's license was to drive and go on an adventure with you."

"Show me quickly, what do you find?"

Lawrence signaled him to calm down: "I'll show you."

Lawrence took out his phone, and showed him the photo.

Seeing a photo of a slate, Herman asked, "Is this a slate engraved with magic? Or is it engraved with the method of learning magic?"

Lawrence interrupted: "Neither, this is the prehistoric stele in Hades Hall."

"I have a new inspiration and I know which sources to look up."

In 1981 a prehistoric stele was discovered, investigated and excavated at Hades Hall above Rochdale by the Institute of Archaeology in Manchester.

"Next time our adventure will pay off."

Herman looked like a balloon that had been punctured, and walked towards the sofa with his head drooping: "Okay."

Adventures in the summer vacation can be hotter than this season.

"nervous?"

"I'm so nervous, the first unmanned experiment around the moon was successful.

We successfully landed the lunar exploration module to within ten kilometers of the moon. "

"It's a pity that American is still one step ahead. Their moon base has already been built."

"It's good to get used to it, haven't we always been chasing after this?

As long as the space station orbiting the moon is successful this time, our next step is to manned the moon! "

"Yes, our original planned path is different from that of American."

During the space race, both American and its predecessors in Russia had very aggressive plans to land on the moon.

Under the current environment, Huaguo's plan to land on the moon is much more conservative.

American was already ahead of Huaguo in aerospace technology, and with the foundation of a successful moon landing, it only took two years to return to the moon.

This does not mean that Huaguo's progress is slow. You must know that Huaguo's plan this time is to build a lunar space station.

It can only be said that the technical routes of the two parties are inconsistent.

As early as 2018, NASA, the Europa Alliance Space Agency, the Maple Leaf National Space Agency and the Neon National Space Agency stated that they would join forces to build a space station around the moon.

Construction was planned for 2020 and then officially opened in 2024.

In the end, everyone knows that American, Europa Space Agency, and Neon Space Agency have all broken up, and this plan is naturally impossible for the four parties to cooperate.

It took more than 3 million yuan to make a preliminary research plan in the early stage, and the American side also occupied it.

This time it is equivalent to the American side choosing to go to the moon first to build a preliminary base on the moon, and then build a space station around the moon.

What Huaguo wants is to build a space station around the moon first.

In case there is a problem with the manned landing on the moon, the existence of the orbiting space station is also conducive to rescue.

The idea of ​​Huaguo's moon-orbiting space station began in 2021. At the Global Space Exploration Conference in St. Petersburg, the Huaguo Space Agency and the Russian Space Agency stated that they would build a moon-orbiting space station.

"That's right, only with a space station orbiting the moon can we support our sustainable exploration of the moon."

Over the years, countries have invested heavily in spaceflight.

Originally in Huaguo's plan, the moon orbiting space station was in the reconnaissance period from 2021 to 2025, and the construction period was from 2026 to 2035.

They moved the construction period forward by ten years.

"My heart is very disturbed, I hope it will succeed."

"An important purpose this time is to test whether our Earth-Moon transportation system can be reused as we imagined."

"The relay satellite has entered the preset orbit, and the advantages of the new fuel are fully reflected. I believe there will be good results."

"After the astronauts land on the moon, they need to bring back more lunar soil, so that we can develop the cement materials needed for the lunar base based on geopolymerization technology."

The Huaguo space agency envisions using volcanic ash and a sodium hydroxide solution based on geopolymer technology as the activator.

The compressive strengths of pozzolanic geopolymer samples after vacuum treatment for 24 h and liquid nitrogen freeze-thaw cycles for 30 times were 45.53 and 44.95 MPa, respectively.

The new cement material can meet the needs, and its water consumption is close to zero.

"It's a pity that we still lack magic brains. The mages' ability to develop the microstructure of materials is too strong."

Based on the bio-storage technology, the mages of Huaguo have developed a preliminary method for the reconstruction of the microcosm.

They immediately used Huaguo's cutting-edge materials for research and development.

Among them, the two areas that China needs most have received the greatest manpower support.

Aerospace is one piece, semiconductors are another.

Except for the masters in quantum physics who were sent to study the great unification of the time system of the universe, and the masters in mathematics who were sent to study artificial intelligence, all other mages went to various points to engage in the research and development of materials.

Jiang Yan is no exception, he also needs to allocate part of his energy to the research and development of cutting-edge materials.

Huaguo Seed Industry Group currently has too many advantages, and there is no single enemy in the world.

Since the birth of Huaguo Seed Industry Group, the domestic media has been advocating the dangers of genetically modified foods.

The relevant papers of European and American professors have been widely cited.

Even if it is a paper published in a little-known journal, as long as you are talking about the harm of genetic modification, then we will help you publicize it.

"We directly used the orbit selected by NASA, didn't they come to protest?"

"Of course I protested. The question is, is protesting useful?"

Originally, the joint lunar space station of American and other three countries was planned to be deployed in a highly elliptical 7-day near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) around the moon.

The space station is closest within 3000 kilometers from the lunar north pole and farthest is 70 kilometers above the lunar south pole.

The advantage of this is that NRHO will enable lunar exploration to a low polar orbit with a delta-v of 730 m/s and a half-day transit time.

Orbital stations only need to maintain a delta-v of less than 10 m/s per year, and the orbital inclination can be changed with relatively small delta-v expenditures to access most of the lunar surface.

Such a design is very conducive to the shuttle between the moon and the space station, and has the ability to land at a fixed point.

Another near-rectilinear halo orbit has minimal interruptions in communication with Earth.

Huaguo is equivalent to optimizing on the basis of the American plan, but it still pre-empts the track in the American plan.

"We preemptively occupied the position for him. No matter how much they protested, it would be useless. Could it be possible to knock down our space station?"

"If the plan goes well, when the lunar base is established, we can prepare to build a giant telescope on the moon."

It must be known that the long-wave infinite radio waves from the dark age of the universe cannot be received on the blue star, and the ionosphere will reflect them through electrons and ions.

But building a radio telescope on the moon could solve this problem.

Just for this, Hua Guo also wants to do this.

"You're grabbing NASA's wool!"

A lunar radio telescope is also the idea of ​​a NASA-affiliated research institute.

They imagined building a radio telescope with ultra-long wavelengths (hereby wavelengths greater than 10 m, ie frequencies below 30 MHz) inside the lunar craters.

The telescope will be the largest full-aperture radio telescope in the solar system.

"Who made us have a sufficient budget for the past few years, and take advantage of the sufficient budget to do more things."

"If we can really find traces of magic on the moon, or even find Merlin's spaceship as rumored by the outside world, we will send it!"

　Thank you Evergreen 1040 for your reward!
　　In addition, Lawrence and Herman will fill in the holes later. It is impossible for me to check so much information and only write two chapters. I really checked the history of Manchester's railways and read at least two related papers.

　　It is impossible to spend so much effort to write only two chapters without using this material!
