I have a wizarding world

Anru Island, Hive Physics Laboratory, Aerospace Research Center.

As Fang Cheng stepped into the research center, he immediately felt the enthusiastic atmosphere inside. Within the research center, researchers in blue lab coats were constantly busy.

On the central holographic projection screen, a pitch-black space background displayed a blue planet before everyone's eyes.

The blue planet was adorned with patches of white clouds, representing Earth's atmosphere.

The holographic projection before them was not a simulation created by Cloud Dream, but a real photograph.

The location where this image was taken was the first armed transport ship manufactured by Universal Heavy Industries, the 'Explorer'.

'Explorer' was the name Fang Cheng gave it. It was not only the pinnacle of the Hive Physics Laboratory's technology but also the most advanced spacecraft currently possessed by humanity.

The Explorer was 267 meters long, equipped with six nuclear fusion engines, including two backup engines, and its weapon modules included four 100kg-class heavy electromagnetic main guns and twelve 10kg-class light electromagnetic secondary guns.

The Explorer's maximum speed in space could reach 3016km/s, and it could carry up to 150,000 tons of supplies, with a maximum load of 250,000 tons.

Placing it on Earth, it would be heavier than a Ford-class aircraft carrier.

Without anti-gravity technology, sending such a heavy armed transport ship into space would be almost a fantasy.

But at this moment, the Explorer on Anru Island had already been in geostationary orbit for three days, and major television and online media outlets in the Pasa Islands were broadcasting the Explorer's voyage live.

In fact, not only the Pasa Islands, but many countries around the world, after obtaining authorization from the Pasa Islands, rebroadcasted the Explorer's voyage.

Of course, the footage they rebroadcasted was only edited footage, but this still shocked the world.

Besides the United States, Russia, and China, the Pasa Islands were the fourth country in the world capable of independently sending people into space.

Looking at the countries around the world, there is a reason why only the United States, Russia, and China can independently carry out manned spaceflight, because manned spaceflight technology not only requires strong national economic strength but also a vast territory.

Putting aside strong economic strength, territorial area alone has become the primary condition restricting many small countries from developing manned spaceflight technology.

There are three difficulties in developing manned spaceflight technology.

The first is the launch vehicle. The United States has taken the path of the space shuttle, while China has taken the path of the carrier rocket.

In fact, these two currently have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The second difficulty is the protective measures for astronauts.

The space environment is vastly different from that on Earth. Other things aside, the highly vacuum environment in space is a fatal danger. Ordinary people in such an environment would explode in less than a minute due to the huge difference in internal and external pressure, and body fluids would rapidly vaporize.

In fact, not even clone warriors injected with M substance can survive in space.

The third difficulty is the return technology.

This technology also requires a vast territorial area because the Earth is constantly rotating. Without a large enough territorial area, your spacecraft is likely to land in another country, which would not only cause technology leaks but also create an international joke.

This is also an important reason why small countries do not develop manned spaceflight technology.

But the Pasa Islands are obviously not in this category.

With anti-gravity technology, the Explorer, not to mention going to geostationary orbit, only needs three days to go to Mars (when Mars is at its closest point).

As for the return problem, it is even simpler. The Explorer's return to Earth from outer space is easier than a normal aircraft landing.

Mastering anti-gravity technology is equivalent to tearing open the mysterious veil of interstellar travel, not to mention that the Hive Laboratory also has mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology. Theoretically, the Pasa Islands already have the qualifications to rush out of the solar system.

Of course, it is only qualified. There are still too many technical problems to be solved if you want to fly out of the solar system now. After all, the environment of the universe is very complex. If the solar system is a sea, then the Explorer is a raft, or not even a raft.

Trying to use this raft to swim in the sea is obviously a suicidal act.

Hive Laboratory, Aerospace Research Center.

No one inside seemed to realize Fang Cheng's arrival, and everyone was working seriously. Seeing everyone's focused expressions, Fang Cheng did not disturb them but went to find Chu Xuan.

For this manned spaceflight plan, Chu Xuan had not closed his eyes since three days ago.

When Fang Cheng found him, his eyes were already bloodshot, and he looked extremely tired, but his emotions were still very high.

"Boss!" Chu Xuan greeted loudly when he saw Fang Cheng coming over.

"Yes," Fang Cheng nodded, "Haven't slept for a few days?"

"I can't rest assured without keeping an eye on it!"

Fang Cheng heard from this sentence that he hadn't rested for three full days.

Fang Cheng patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder and said with concern, "You are my most important general. Even if this space program fails, I don't want you to be exhausted. Go and rest early."

Chu Xuan heard the sincerity in Fang Cheng's words, and the emotion on his face flashed away. He smiled and said, "Soon, I'll go to rest after I finish this work."

Fang Cheng looked at Chu Xuan's firm eyes and didn't persuade him anymore.

"How is the situation now?" Seeing Chu Xuan insisting on working, Fang Cheng had no choice but to let him go.

"Boss," Chu Xuan's expression became slightly excited when he heard Fang Cheng ask this, "The Explorer has been in synchronous orbit for three days, and its performance is the same as the results of our simulation experiments."

Fang Cheng had expected this, "What about the construction of the space station fortress?"

"It has already begun!" Chu Xuan's expression was serious, "Boss, the space fortress we are building is different from ordinary space stations. Its workload is too large, and C-1 type engineering robots are not suitable for construction in space, so the early assembly efficiency will inevitably be very low."

"I know," Fang Cheng nodded, "Didn't I ask you to develop a robot specifically for space operations? Is it completed now?"

Fang Cheng asked repeatedly.

"Boss, the C-2 type engineering robot has entered the final testing stage. If there are no accidents, it will be able to carry it to geostationary orbit for operations when the Explorer returns next time."

Fang Cheng looked at Chu Xuan's confident look and nodded.

The C-2 type engineering robot is a special robot developed by the Hive Physics Laboratory for outer space operations.

In fact, the C-1 type robot has many disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that the C-1 type robot is a humanoid robot. From the perspective of construction, humanoid robots are not very suitable for engineering operations.

Especially in the weightless space environment, therefore, the C-2 type engineering robot came into being.
