Chapter 54 The Moon Cannon
"Moon Cannon." Shangluo's first reaction was outrageous.He wondered if the people in Lanfang Company were overly optimistic, because this was obviously a crooked path.

But when you think about it carefully, this outrageous plan is not completely impossible.

The ability of Qi practitioners has unlimited development space, even driving a piston fighter can suppress the airspace of a country.They can obviously do more, and even open the real "ladder" to the sea of ​​stars.

But is it really reliable to send humans into space with cannons?

[Well, from the perspective of psychohistory, human beings did have such an optimistic period.For example, in 1865 AD, Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" described a cannon that could launch humans from the earth to the moon. 】

"Wait, I've always had a question—how did you know about my affairs? Could it be that you also traveled here?"

【of course not.I will know because your knowledge has been projected into the Akashic records.You also have a place in that 'library'.Of course, that's limited to 'knowledge'. I can't find the content that you regard as personal privacy. I can only check the knowledge that you consider to be part of the 'public domain'.For example, you seem to know how to drive AI through a string of tags, so as to generate some strange and awkward.]

"Stop! So the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before?"

[That's a movie you like very much, and that movie is obviously not your 'personal privacy', so I checked it out.I'm actually also wondering who uploaded the recipe of Jidan, because it obviously didn't come from your 'knowledge'.Now it seems that it is hard to say whether it is the "elixir" in your concept, but it seems that it can help you build a foundation. 】

"Then what do you think of this moon cannon project? Can you find it?"

[I can't find it.Although this is already a half-open secret, it is still a secret.The Akashic Records refused my access, and I couldn't find such a classified thing.Unless someone leaks the information to a newspaper, or puts it in some public publication, then I can find it out.But I can give you some public information. 】

"Well, tell me, is it related to those moon cannons?"

[Around Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Central Borneo, someone once witnessed the large engineering team of Lanfang Company.They dug high-standard roads in the mountains and transported giant tubular metal structures to the top of the mountain several times.Someone also observed from the air that a huge man-made structure appeared among the mountains in the center of Borneo. A large area of ​​the mountain was covered with concrete and metal. Lanfang's Tax Police Headquarters was on high alert around it, and no one who approached it came back. . 】

"How can I verify the information you provided?"

[Public publications have their own serial numbers.Just take the serial number and go to the library to look it up.You can trust me in this regard, as long as it is in the public domain, I can help you collect it and provide verifiable sources.Don't underestimate this ability. Garcia, the hard-core ruthless man in World War II, can grasp the movements of the British army through limited public information, even faster than British Prime Minister Churchill.However. Non-public information, you can only ask specific people. 】

"So. Captain Lin, can I ask a question."

"Ask, just ask." Although he didn't look back, Captain Lin was in a good mood.After witnessing Shang Luo's ability with his own eyes, he knew that he seemed to have found a treasure, and the person behind him might be a huge help to Lan Fang's big plan.

"Since you have a plan to build a moon cannon, what is preventing you from officially starting to explore space?"

"There are two major obstacles. Well, before I say these things, I would like to give you some additional definitions. First of all, the concept of a Qi practitioner must be clarified. It refers to the monks in the Qi training period, not all monks. Because Cultivators at this stage are the mainstay of the entire cultivation world, and it is extremely rare for them to reach the 'realm of heaven and man' in the foundation-building stage, and only one or two can be produced in a generation."

"I know this, so why?"

"The first reason: According to calculations, even a gas trainer can't withstand the impact of the moon cannon, for example, I can't. Even I will be shaken into scum in the explosion, and I'm afraid it will be the same as the jelly in your hand. Almost. So we need a celestial being in the foundation-building period to serve as a volunteer. We have found nothing in our visits to celebrities, and we can’t even find their shadows. Only General Baifeng often wanders around, and sometimes we can meet him on the street. That's why we sent out the invitation."

"Ah, so General Baifeng was in Lanfang before, and he was inspecting at your place?"

"You guessed it right. It was hard to persuade General Baifeng to come to investigate before, but in the middle of the investigation, there was an emergency order—I guess he just sold our face and left halfway because he knew in advance that something would happen."

"Do you necessarily need a monk in the foundation period to succeed?"

"It may not be needed in the future. For example, if the orbit is longer, we don't need it, but we need to verify the feasibility of the prototype cannon before proceeding to the next plan. Guoxing Ye doesn't have a cash cow at home, right? We can't infinitely use the 'moon cannon' ’ path. So at least, we have to verify the feasibility before we can continue to invest.”

"It's really scientific." Although Shangluo doesn't know whether "stuffing the power into the barrel of the foundation-building period and launching it to the moon" is considered science, they are indeed making a bold assumption and carefully verifying it.This thinking is quite scientific.As for how Da Neng will come back during the foundation building period, that seems to be another more difficult problem.

"Then what is the second obstacle?"

"The second is the issue of how to launch. Traditional propellants obviously cannot go directly to the moon. We are looking for a more powerful and powerful new explosive. I can't reveal too much about this highly confidential plan, but there are already some eyebrows Yes. Before that, we would experiment by lengthening the barrel and detonating it multiple times, which would require a huge stationary gun."

"The one on Mount Kinabalu?"

Captain Lin glanced back at him: "You know a lot, but you can also analyze it from public information. That is our testing ground. We use the highest peak in Borneo as a gun mount, and use the excellent equator The condition is to project mass eastward. The experiment will start in the near future. We will first try to project some solid iron blocks into the earth's orbit. Wait for our good news, and it will be reported in the newspapers. If you are confident, you can go to the sky The stock exchange has increased its holdings of Lanfang's stock, and I have already held a full position."
