Chapter 77 Launching Satellites

"You mean...this thing can fly to a place higher than the sky in the end, and then it won't fall?"

Chairman Cruise looked at the towering tower in the distance, and saw that the shape was very close to a magic cannonball, but it was countless times bigger. Xu Yi called this huge thing "magic launch vehicle", and his face was full of disbelief. .

Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him, his eyes full of contempt.

"If you have read the recent issues of "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly", or have some research on physical theory, you will know that as long as the launch speed of the object exceeds the first cosmic speed, it can escape the gravity of the planet and fly to Go up to extraterrestrial orbit, fly around the planet, of course it won’t fall.”

Chairman Cruise chuckled: "I've been very busy these days, so I don't have time to read "Magical Industry Weekly". Besides, the space you mentioned has nothing to do with our chamber of commerce. Of course I don't." will care."

"Are you sure it's okay?" Xu Yi asked back, pointing at the sky. "Tell you, the planet under our feet is not the only one in the vast universe. In fact, there are countless planets of various kinds in places that you cannot see with the naked eye. Also inhabited planets. Don't you think of building houses on those alien planets?"

"Building on an alien planet?" Chairman Cruise's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head. "Forget it. Now you are just sending something into space. When you can really go to another planet, you don't know how long you have to wait. Maybe... I won't be able to see it even if I die." to this day."

Xu Yi smiled, thinking that although Chairman Cruise did not know the principle of rocket launch, or even the specific meaning of space, it did not prevent him from making correct inferences.

Indeed, as President Cruise said, even if the satellite launch is successful today, it is still far from successfully sending people into space.

As for space travel and the interstellar cruise that Xu Yi dreamed of, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the monkey man Ma Yue.

Even if science and technology on the earth are developing more and more rapidly, it starts with launching satellites. It has been more than 50 years since Xu Yi crossed, but he still hasn't seen the possibility of interstellar navigation.

With the current level of technology in Sainz Continent, it is almost impossible to achieve this.

But the difference between the Sainz continent and the earth is that. This is a magical world.

But magic is something left over from the previous civilization of the Abyssal Demon Race, which has a glorious history, and it can create many incredible possibilities.

For example, if it develops normally, it is impossible to launch a satellite with the technological level of Sainz Continent.

But with the power of magic. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce completed this research in a time that was countless times shorter than that on Earth.

Of course, this is also due to the strong theoretical and mechanical foundation that Xu Yi brought from the earth.

After chatting with Chairman Cruise for a few more words, Xu Yi looked back at the rocket towering in the distance, feeling emotional in his heart.

If there are still people on the earth who travel to this world and learn the truth about this rocket, they will definitely burst out laughing.

Because this magic launch vehicle claims to be carrying an artificial satellite, but in fact this artificial satellite is an empty shell with nothing inside.

Most of the artificial satellites launched on the earth will go to the sky with various missions, such as weather satellites, reconnaissance satellites, communication satellites, etc...

However, this artificial satellite is limited by current technology. I can't complete these tasks, so even if I fly into the sky, I can't do anything.

However, it is equipped with a magic phantom camera with the highest definition, which may be able to capture part of the atmosphere and space scenes.

But no one can guarantee that it can actually send these images back successfully.

As for the magical space above the atmosphere, there is no concept on the current Sainz continent.

Even the dragon clan with the highest physical strength can only barely reach the highest point of the atmosphere while maintaining the dragon form, but cannot break through the atmosphere.

Therefore, the process of launching an artificial satellite this time can also be regarded as a test of the magic space above the atmosphere.

There are various magic arrays carefully designed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute on the artificial satellite, which can test the various reactions of the external magic space, and thus calculate the general situation of the magic space above the atmosphere.

simply put. The launch of an artificial satellite this time is actually a multi-faceted attempt by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is of great significance.

but……

Xu Yi turned his head to look at the large group of people behind and around him, and found that their eyes were all focused on the magic launch vehicle in the distance. Pointing and whispering from time to time, the expression on his face was filled with uncontrollable surprise and shock.

Obviously, most people's attention, like President Cruise, is only focused on sending items to a place higher than the sky, and they don't understand what it really means.

"Master President, it's almost time." A middle-aged man in the uniform of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came over. He whispered something, and at the same time handed Xu Yi a magic communication box.

Seeing the excited expression on his face, Xu Yi smiled and picked up the magic communication box.

"Hey, Freya, I'm just here to watch the ceremony today, and you're the one giving orders."

From the magic communication box, Freya's voice was still full of vigor, clear and sweet, but because of the experience of serving as the president in the past few years, it revealed a somewhat calm voice.

"Father, this matter is so meaningful, don't you want to give orders yourself?"

Xu Yi laughed: "I don't want to steal the limelight from you, the chairman. It's fine, leave me alone, you can arrange it yourself, and I'll just watch it here."

Freya muttered, but still readily agreed.

"Okay, then I'm not going to be polite."

Xu Yi put down the magic communication box with a smile, and asked the staff member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who came to inform him, "Are the representatives sent by other countries in the main control room now?"

"Yes. This time, the two empires sent top figures, and Prince Raymond of the Lampari Kingdom came to watch the ceremony in person." After a pause, the staff member continued: "Mr. , They have asked where you are many times, are you really not going to show up?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "As I said, I don't want to steal Freya's limelight. If Steele finds out, he will definitely scold me."

Knowing that Xu Yi had made up his mind, the staff stopped persuading him and stepped aside.

"Hey, Xu Yi, didn't you always say that your dream is to fly into the sky? Although launching a satellite is still a little short of your dream, it still represents the first step. You really don't want to host it. This ceremony?" President Cruise asked.

"No need. My dream is to fly into the sky, not to preside over a meaningless ceremony." Xu Yi's eyes fell on the huge magic launch vehicle in the distance, and then lifted up, looking at the extremely blue sky today. The sky seems to want to go directly through the atmosphere and go deep into space.

After waiting for another 20 minutes, the scheduled launch time of the rocket has arrived. After a brief ceremony hosted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it was officially announced that the launch of the satellite had officially begun.

Xu Yi has no objection to this, but thinking of the majesty and divine energy when he saw the first artificial satellite launched by the Celestial Dynasty when he was a child, he always feels that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's handling of this is a little perfunctory.

However, he also knew that not only the other people on the continent of Sainz, but even the people in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who personally participated in this project, although they were very shocked by launching things into space, but because it was too beyond Their understanding always seems to lack real sense, so that they don't know how to deal with this matter.

"One day, you will know how significant this event represents today..."

Seeing a ray of light suddenly light up from below the magic launch vehicle in the distance, Xu Yi let out a soft breath.

He has repeated to many people that his dream is to fly into the sky.

Now that he saw the first step of this dream with his own eyes, he didn't seem particularly excited.

Perhaps, it is because he has already done too many things for this, and it is a matter of course that he can achieve this?

Or maybe it's because he knows that realizing his dream might not be possible in his lifetime, so he takes it lightly?

But when he really saw that the light below the magic launch vehicle in the distance was getting brighter and brighter, and then a cloud of smoke spewed out, the extremely huge magic launch vehicle slowly lifted into the sky, then gradually accelerated, and finally flew up to the clouds at high speed, Xu Yi still couldn't help feeling excited.

However, compared to the initial shock and aphasia of the surrounding people, and the sudden burst of cheers after the rocket disappeared into the clouds, Xu Yi's reaction was still much calmer.

The magic talking box in his hand suddenly vibrated.

Xu Yi picked it up and connected it, and Freya's excited voice sounded immediately.

"Dad! It succeeded! It succeeded! It really flew up! The gods are... oh no! The gods are not up there, but the artificial satellites of our chamber of commerce are in the sky!"

Xu Yi finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

Freya has always allowed herself to play the role of a mature and stable president during the past two years as the president, so she always tried her best to suppress the lively and active nature of her nature, and now she finally has a chance to be unrestrained No wonder she was so excited.

"Okay, Freya, don't be so excited. This is just the first time. We will launch more satellites into the sky in the future. Sooner or later you will get used to it. Compared with this, the most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself." Settle down our guests."

Xu Yi raised his head and looked in the direction of the command platform far away on the other side, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The successful launch of an artificial satellite is an exciting thing for him, but for those distinguished guests who came to watch the ceremony this time, it may not be so... (~^~)
