Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 1063 America Player: Do you look down on us? !

If you want to fly a spaceship in space, you need the help of a professional in spaceflight.

Xu Shenghan has no doubts about this.

Professional people do professional things!
His pitiful spacecraft piloting experience comes from driving the No. [-] escape capsule on the Tiangong Space Station.

But even so, he also noticed that "driving" in space is very different from that on the ground.

——There is no road here, and there is no fixed reference object. Whether it is the spacecraft under the buttocks or the target I plan to fly to, they are all in rapid motion.

What's even more troublesome is that different spacecraft are not even relatively stationary - their moving speeds are also quite different.

Driving by relying only on vision and intuition will almost [-]% lead to errors.

Unless the engine has enough fuel and can adjust the flight path again and again midway, the possibility of yaw is almost [-]%!

This makes every voyage a gamble on luck, and failure is a dead end!

But the problem is: the fuel of all spacecrafts is limited, and they must be careful and save every bit of fuel as much as possible.

This requires the help of aerospace professionals to calculate the "highway in space"—that is, the "flight trajectory" invisible to the naked eye.

But...a math major?

Is there anything about them here?

Xu Shenghan didn't quite understand.

But after clicking on the post, under the description of the post owner, he quickly understood the reason——

This group of people gathered together 28 players who successfully rescued the [Tiangong Space Station] and determined a common goal: to go to the mysterious space station further away.

But the location of the space station is too far away, and it is impossible to fly there by intuition.

Ever since, one of them, a college student, found his high school classmate who majored in aerospace and asked for help.

After summarizing the information, his classmates gave two possibilities:

First: This mysterious space station only has a much higher orbital altitude than the Tiangong Space Station, but it is still far from the moon.

Second: This space station is located at the L4 Lagrange point of the Earth-Moon system, at a special gravitational point that can be self-stabilized.

If it is the former, then there is too little information and the orbit cannot be calculated at this time.

Because the average distance between the earth and the moon is as high as 38 kilometers, the orbit of this mysterious space station may be at any altitude.

There is no way to calculate it!

But if it is the latter, although the L4 Lagrangian point is also a large area, at least the position is certain-that is, the orbit of the moon, but it forms a triangle with the earth and the moon in position.

If the current orbital altitude, orbit, flight speed, engine fuel and other data of the Tiangong Space Station can be collected, it should be possible to calculate the orbit.

At least it can fly to the L4 point area.

——Whether we can stop there is another matter.

But even the relatively simpler second possibility requires a considerable amount of calculations.

In particular, a lot of data needs to be measured from scratch - "Gravity" is so realistic. After a large number of low-Earth orbit satellites were wiped out by fragments, a lot of data can be obtained by just pressing a button. The data is all gone now, and we need to find a way to recalculate it.

What's even worse is: after the players returned to Earth, the game ended directly!
Instead of going back to the Xiajing Orbital Control Center, it ends right on the beach!

This directly blocks the opportunity for players to cooperate across games and obtain key data at the ground orbit control center.

And without the convenience provided by the equipment, the big bosses majoring in mathematics have become just-needed—in this group of people, there are perverts who can use white paper to push formulas and calculate spacecraft orbits!
"Awesome!" Xu Shenghan was greatly shocked, and then silently saved this post.

——In an event of this level, he could only be a spectator standing on the sidelines shouting "666", and he really didn't have the ability to participate.

However, Xu Shenghan is not very optimistic about whether this post can find those big guys.

Judging from the description of the post, what this group of people need is not just a random person majoring in mathematics or aerospace, but someone who is also a top boss in these two majors.

The problem is: in Xu Shenghan's eyes, talents of that level probably have a bright future across the country - especially in the context of the global space race.

Will such talents waste their precious time in games?

While thinking, he returned to his home.Open the door and enter the house, take out the dishes, pack the supper, and start eating while talking on your phone.

After a while, he refreshed the page again and found a bunch of "weird" posts on the homepage:

[Conjecture on the orbit of the mysterious space station]
[Brief popularization of knowledge related to the Earth-Moon Lagrangian point]
[Orbits, aircraft, cosmic speed, gravity, and gravitational slingshots]
[Three feasibility conjectures about the permanent self-circulating space station]
[Space elevator image enlargement, pixel restoration, and operation mode guessing]
[Feasibility analysis of changing the orbit of the space station and falling on the edge of the space elevator]
……

Hungry because he missed two meals, Xu Shenghan, who had already begun to eat noodles in large quantities, looked at the outrageous headlines one after another, and his eating speed unknowingly became slower and slower until he stopped completely.

He put down the chopsticks hanging in the air, his mind a little confused:
"WTF?"

"Isn't this a game forum? What are you talking about?"

“Are there so many big bosses in this game??”

Xu Shenghan, a marine student, suddenly felt that he was extremely weak.

It's not just his thoughts either.

It has now been 12 hours since the game was released, and many players who are progressing quickly and have high enough enthusiasm are like Xu Shenghan, who were driven by various crises to complete the game.

So now the game community is very active, and players from all walks of life come to read the posts, trying to get more valuable information.

The good news: They did get valuable information.

The bad news: there’s so much valuable information out there, and it’s so high-end!They can't digest it...

When have you seen so many hard-core knowledge popularization in the player community?

Just click on a hot post, and it will be filled with all kinds of unfamiliar letters and formulas, with pictures and texts, which can be said to be very thoughtful.

But out of a thousand people who came here to take a look, not even 10 could understand it...

The comments with the most responses are "I don't know how serious it is."

And this weird atmosphere quickly spread from the core player community to the entire social network, and even started a strange trend——

A large number of popular science self-media outlets have taken the initiative to take advantage of this popularity and began to popularize various scientific knowledge about astronomy, rockets, space stations, astronauts, etc.

Even because of the appearance of space elevators and unknown spacecraft, even the content related to "extraterrestrial life" and "science fiction" has been pulled out to popularize science for netizens.

This unprecedented craze for science popularization is sweeping across the entire summer!
Even the global internet is making waves.

This craze has even affected areas that were previously incompatible with games——

Academician Yang Hong, the chief designer of the Tiangong Space Station from the Xiajing Aerospace Academy Family Institute, looked at the "finished product" on his mobile phone that was more than [-]% similar to the design drawing, and a question mark slowly popped up in his head:
"Did someone show him the complete drawings?"

He was puzzled.

Currently, the Tiangong Space Station in space only has three cabins in total, and there is still a long way to go before it is perfect.

But according to the plan, the completed appearance is really similar to the height in "Gravity"!
"A coincidence?"

"I'll have to ask tomorrow."

*
In ESA and Roscosmos, the problem is reversed:

"Why is this [International Space Station] so different from our drawings?"

"It looks too old, doesn't it?"

Not only is it old, the interior is also filled with all kinds of messy cables and outdated equipment...

"Is it because Yunmeng is Daxia's company, so Daxia's space station is made to look good, while ours is sloppy?"

They don't understand.

Although...the specific space station drawings have not been finalized yet, and all parties are still in the wrangling stage.

But they believe that their space station will also be beautiful!
It’s not the stitch monster in the game!
*
Of course, the most puzzling thing is America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Their problem is the same as that of all America players:
"Even the European Union has a space station, why is it that we, America, don't have one?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you look down on us?!"
