Chapter 156 Black Buds Blooming on the Sun(2/3)
The faster the sun landing plan is, the better, not the more complete the better.
We must race against time to launch the rocket up first. As long as we can go near the sun to take a look and send the photos back, it will be the greatest success!
In order to achieve this, the sun landing detector can be greatly reduced in size. It only needs to be about the size of a fist and can carry cameras and communication equipment.
Following this idea, the sun landing rocket was quickly assembled.
After conducting a series of tests and passing them all successfully, the expert team unanimously concluded that it could be launched.
In these processes, Mayen Type I artificial intelligence once again played a huge role. It can supervise the compliance of workers' operations according to the flow chart, monitor various data at any time, and immediately warn if any non-compliance is found, saving a lot of rework.
time.
"everything's ready?"
Chen Ji and Zhou Wan came to the launch center again.
Wei Hong's face was covered with ice, but she still looked excited and said: "Everything has been checked. I'm just waiting for Chen Jiqian to come and give the rocket a blessing, and it will be launched into the sky soon!"
"Blessings? Are you sure?"
Chen Ji's light ball cannot strengthen people, it can only restore objects to their pre-apocalyptic state, commonly known as purifying the apocalypse.
"Sure!"
Wei Hong said with certainty.
They also found a superpower crystal from the bat-man. After testing, they found that it could release a very strong source of pollution and could easily mutate living things, even humans would be affected.
Only Chen Ji's power could easily restrain it.
Therefore, Wei Hong asked Chen Ji to add a blessing to the rocket's head. If the rocket encounters a large group of monsters after taking off, it might be effective.
Chen Ji agreed and walked to the bottom of the rocket with Zhou Wan, hoping to ride the launch tower to the top.
As soon as he arrived under the rocket, a girl with white hair and red eyes suddenly appeared next to him, startling Wei Hong and others.
"Mayan?"
Chen Ji was a little strange.
Why did Ma Yien suddenly want to appear?
And as soon as I came out, I looked up at this huge rocket that was more than 70 meters high, and I was in a daze, as if I had recalled something.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Wan held her cold little hand and asked her.
"Owner!"
The girl pointed at the rocket with her other hand and said seriously to Chen Ji: "Ma Yien likes this!"
"Can it recharge you?" Chen Ji looked strange.
The girl shook her head.
She couldn't explain why she liked it.
Chen Ji couldn't understand it even more. It was obviously the same rocket last time.
never mind.
Just think of it as her little hobby, just like the last time she squatted on the ground and watched agricultural planting.
Chen Ji pulled her and Zhou Wan up to the top of the rocket. From the launch tower, a ball of light condensed into the landing detection cabin at the head of the rocket.
Chen Ji also joked: "In the name of the creator Chen Ji, I give you the ability to break through the darkness."
Zhou Wan covered her mouth and smiled.
After the blessing, the three people came down.
The rocket is officially ready for launch.
Chen Ji waited inside the house for half an hour, but did not see any mutant creatures arriving.
"Nineteen eighty-seven...launch!"
The countdown ended, and under the gaze of countless eyes, the rocket spewed out dazzling flames, slowly rose into the sky, broke through the endless darkness, and flew towards the starry sky of the universe.
Programmed turn, booster separation, rocket first and second stage separation...
In the launch command center, orders were broadcast one after another, which meant that the rocket had successfully lifted off without any accidents.
After the second-stage rocket separates, the launch is already half successful.
The remaining half will not be known until at least several months.
After all, the distance between the sun and the earth is too far. It needs to accelerate around the earth, then fly to Venus, and use the gravitational slingshot of Venus to continue flying towards the sun.
In theory this is the case.
However.
When Chen Ji and Zhou Wan were about to leave, and the soldiers at the launch center were getting on the bus one after another to prepare to retreat, a scientific researcher from the launch center hurriedly ran out and called out to Chen Ji:
"Mr. Chen, it's bad, our sun landing detection module is completely out of control, completely out of control!!"
Those who had not left were all shocked.
Failed?
Chen Ji groaned, but didn't respond.
The sun landing probe module was out of control, and there seemed to be nothing he could do.
After all, the exploration capsule is thousands of kilometers away in outer space, and he is not a scientific researcher, so he can't give any advice.
But now that he was called, Chen Ji could only go into the launch center with Zhou Wan to take a look again.
The soldiers outside looked at each other in shock, and those who had already got on the bus got out again, waiting for the outcome of the incident.
"Director Wei, the launch failed?"
After entering the launch control room, Chen Ji immediately asked.
After so much effort, the world's top aerospace experts have worked hard for this moment. If it fails like this, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow.
There was a strange atmosphere in the command room.
Everyone was silent and looked extremely solemn.
"Come and see this."
Wei Hong pointed to the big screen.
Chen Ji and Zhou Wan turned around and saw that there was an animation simulating flight on the screen. The animation marked the speed of the sun landing exploration module at this moment:
65KM/S.
And it’s still rising!
Getting faster and faster, flying straight towards the sun.
"What happened? Why?"
Chen Ji asked in surprise.
He knew that the Mars probe could fly 20 to 30 kilometers per second, but only after being accelerated and leaving the Earth's gravitational range.
The sun landing exploration module has just taken off not long ago, so it cannot fly so fast.
"We don't know either."
Wei Hong smiled bitterly and said: "The detection cabin suddenly lost control and kept accelerating. Now except for the camera and some instruments, everything else is out of our control... Chen Ji, maybe your ball of light saved it for us."
This is the last chance! Let’s take a look at what’s happening on the probe when it gets close to the sun.”
As he spoke, the speed of the detection cabin soared again.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred.
Everyone watched helplessly as its speed reached 5,000 kilometers per mile, and it rushed towards the sun at an almost suicidal speed.
too fast.
Fifty times faster than the fastest aircraft made by mankind!
It takes just over a minute to fly from the earth to the moon.
"What is it about the sun that's attracting it?"
Zhou Wan guessed, "Maybe he was captured."
Chen Ji said: "Human beings have many satellites in space, why are they not attracted to the sun?"
No one can answer.
Everyone could only continue to watch the speed numbers on the screen continue to soar.
From five thousand, it jumped to thirty thousand, fifty thousand, and one hundred thousand!
The detection capsule flies towards the sun at one third of the speed of light.
To be continued...
