moving city, ark

He shrugged.

"..."

But Miss Lucille looked at him with eyes drooping for a while, and finally curled her lips, "Anyway, you are the boss, so you have the final say."

"It's okay to let you come~"

Luo Yi said with a smile, "After all, this is a masterpiece made under the hard work of our Miss Minister~"

When Ke Luxie heard this, the expression on her face seemed to be a little moved: "The main components and structural design are not done by me."

"Then forget it."

"Hey!"

Grinding her canine teeth viciously, Miss Minister stared at the thick-skinned person who was still smiling, so she had to shift her target.

"All of you, hurry up!!"

"—!"

"understand!"

……

All of a sudden, the venue was busy. The Pioneer entered the runway, and the ground crew took their positions.

Without going to the command room, Luo Yi and the minister beside him stood in place, watching the Pioneer in the distance slowly start to move on the runway.

In fact, the Pioneer equipped with an anti-gravity system can take off and land vertically, but the reliability of the wings is also part of the test, and the energy consumption of the two different take-off and landing methods also needs to collect data.

However, in theory, a certain length of run-up distance should help reduce energy consumption.

For the Pioneer, which only needs to complete one round trip and has sufficient energy equipment, of course, there is no need to consider this issue.But their purpose of collecting this data is not just for the next first sailing.

"..."

He turned his gaze to the tall metal pillar standing on the other side, still under construction, but already reaching into the sky.

The construction progress of the star port is already over halfway. Since the establishment of the ark city, it has been the most costly and time-consuming project, and even the central tower cannot be compared with it.

With the original rocket launcher as the base, the spaceship in it is accelerated through the electromagnetic orbit.Compared with relying on the spacecraft's own power to adjust the angle and then accelerate, there is no doubt that it has a huge advantage in terms of efficiency and energy consumption.

From the ground to the synchronous orbit, for the spacecraft, the most energy-consuming part of the whole process is not the distance after leaving the atmosphere, but the acceleration process in the atmosphere.

After a busy route between the ground and space is truly established, the benefits that a star port can bring are self-evident.

However, before their star port is actually completed, I am afraid that the spacecraft will have to complete the take-off process by itself.

At present, because of the original design, the star port construction project around the original rocket launcher will not affect the normal launch of the rocket.

In the later stage of the project, it may seem a little troublesome to take care of both ends, but after the Pioneer successfully set sail, the rockets can already withdraw from their historical stage.

The lifespan is probably less than three months.

Subsequent construction of space stations and space cities will also rely on spacecraft.

Compared with rockets, a one-time consumable that is difficult to recycle, even if the star port has not been built, the cost and efficiency of the spacecraft are much better.

only,

Seeing the Pioneer galloping on the runway gracefully flying into the sky, the previous question suddenly popped up in his head again, and his eyes gradually became a little more subtle.

It is true that the Rockets are about to withdraw from the stage of history, but they are only withdrawing from their stage.

If you wait until Colombia, Ursas and other countries work hard to get the rocket out, and then see the Pioneer, I don’t know if there will be a sudden acute cerebral hemorrhage, then you will become Wang Lang Wang Situ ……

He muttered in his heart.

Oops, if you say that, don't you become Zhuge Liang?He didn't mean to boast, it was just a coincidence.

However, the space race or something is not a good thing, especially when it is surrounded by foreign enemies.

It was in their plan from the beginning to let other people retreat in spite of difficulties, but now it makes people a little worried that the force will be too much...

But at this point, it is impossible for him to delay his plan.

"It shouldn't be..."

He scratches his hair.

"Why not?"

Cruciel next to her turned her head suspiciously.

"Ah, nothing."

He said haha ​​while muttering in his heart.

Hold on, everyone who engages in spaceflight!

They are all top-notch powerful countries, so they should be stronger anyway.He didn't want his teammates to accidentally kill him before the enemy came.

第 737

Chapter 450 Are you a devil!

Thankfully, apart from a few minor adjustments, the test flight did not have any major problems.

The three pilots who have been carefully selected and trained have lived up to expectations. Since they officially passed the selection and started training, the relevant content they have come into contact with has not been much related to the rocket that most people expected. confused too.

In addition, although there were only three people standing here in the end, in fact, there were far more than a few people who trained together. Even now, there are still many people staying in the training base, but the three of them was selected to be the one to complete this first.

As for the significance of those remaining people, everyone has some guesses in their hearts.

After all, if the first test is successful, the Ark will definitely not have only one spaceship.

all in all

In this way, everything is just waiting for a good cloudless day to officially take off.

But before heading home, there seems to be one more thing worth paying attention to.

"How is the production of the improved special steel delivered to you before?"

"Huh? That thing—"

When Miss Minister heard a certain term, a slightly subtle expression suddenly appeared on her face.

How to describe it...

It seems a little familiar, but it's been a long time since I saw Ke Luxie's face.

"It's too troublesome to produce that thing. There are many procedures, the requirements are still high, and the number required is still so high. What's more important is..."

But Lucille was staring at him with blood-red pupils as if thinking about it, and a certain emotion was emerging more and more clearly.

What exactly is it...

He recalled it unconsciously.

"More importantly, do you know what the final budget is for completing the entire production plan?"

The answer came out!It's stingy, ah no, it's fussy, it doesn't sound too good, so feel good about it.

"This is also impossible."

He also said a little helplessly.

It was handed over to the manufacturing department for the production of new steel materials needed to transform the Explorer.The result of the joint efforts of him and Mr. Nian.

Not only has the data in all aspects been significantly improved, but what is even more commendable is that it has a certain degree of phase stability.In a simple explanation, it is probably that it can make actions more convenient in the field where demons and reality negotiate with each other, and it also has higher resistance to the erosion of different dimensions.

This is also a masterpiece specially created by He Nian to deal with the Demon Lord, basically using all the new things he learned during the previous period.

However, on top of that,

With so many advantages, correspondingly, to produce such high-end products, the required requirements and costs are naturally raised to an outrageous level.

And because it was prepared for the Explorer, even if you don't need to replace all the external armor of the entire ship, you can probably imagine the amount needed.

so,

It's completely understandable for Miss Minister, who can be regarded as a rich woman, to show such an expression after a long time!

However,

"Anyway, it's not your private money. Are you feeling sorry for your family when you show this expression?"

He squeezed the corners of his eyes and asked teasingly.

"Who will feel sorry for you, a big local tyrant! That way of burning money, anyone who sees it will be terrified! No, no, it is much more efficient than burning money with a fire, and the speed of the fire is not so fast. quick!"

Miss Minister stared at him angrily, and complained a series of complaints, which seemed to be deeply resentful.

It seemed that she was not satisfied with his reaction, but Lucille directly put three white and tender fingers in front of him, and continued to speak loudly: "Do you know that the progress is not over half, and the 300 is already gone?" It's 300 million! It's [-] billion, Ark coins!"

Uh,

"Are there so many..."

He couldn't help scratching his cheek too.

Although he also expected that it would be very expensive, but this figure is still a bit scary.

After all, it is different from other projects. Even if the Explorer is finally refitted, it is basically impossible to get any economic or profit returns. It can be said that the money was burned for nothing.

But they still had to burn.

"You big boss who never counts money finally knows?!"

Miss Minister just pursed her lips and folded her arms.

"Indeed. That's why I need someone as shrewd and capable as Minister Keluciel to manage it for me~"

He put his face closer with a smile.

"What, what, it's useless to praise me. The cost is still so high. No, you can still praise people. There are still people watching, go away, go away—"

Ah, I'm blushing~

They are obviously old couples, so cute.

Glancing around for a while, taking advantage of Miss Minister not paying attention, he quickly kissed the corner of the other's crystal lips with a smile.

Then before being caught, he straightened up and coughed solemnly.

"—!"

Noticing the attracted eyes from all around, the Miss Minister who was attacked unexpectedly had to give up her plan to fight back after staring at a smiling guy with a thin blush on her face.

oops...

Trying to suppress the urge to continue teasing the interesting Miss Minister, he continued to talk about the topic.

"It's not halfway there yet... It seems like it's been a long time."

"This speed is fast enough, and you don't even look at how many requests you have!"

Miss Minister left and retorted.

"Ah, I'm not talking about your problems. It's just that since the incident in Londinium, it has been so peaceful there, which makes me a little concerned."

Luo Yi looked into the distance.The huge sun wheel hanging on the horizon is smudged into the world at dusk.

This is probably the so-called time of meeting the devil in the legend.

"It's a good thing that they don't come to make trouble. Didn't you say that you will solve Agor's problem recently?"

Looking at the man's side face, Lucille's tone gradually lowered, and she just muttered softly.

"That's right."

Luo Yi turned around and smiled slightly, "But the problem that should be solved still needs to be solved."

Not to mention the cost, but Lucille felt distressed, so he had to be a little concerned.

He stroked his chin.

"Sure enough, since it's everyone's business, it's impossible for our family to pay the money, right? Isn't the role of international conferences to help each other—"

"—"

The Pioneer, which has completed all the tests in the distance, is slowly entering the hangar. Seeing the man who is talking to himself, Miss Minister can't help opening her mouth slightly.
