Escape The Solar System With Millennium Technology

Chapter 188 – On the moon tour group

The fuselage is flat, acute-angled triangle, and four large ion thrusters are neatly installed on the tail of the fiery red fuselage. On both sides of the fuselage are a pair of large delta wings with rounded front edges.

The red flame generated by the friction between the front edge of the fuselage and the air, combined with the original dark red color of the fuselage, gives a hint of hotness in the domineering.

The Canglong was loaded into the transport spacecraft. It was Wang Lei who asked Sunday to independently design it with his own ideas. Perhaps it was because Wang Lei himself liked to watch sci-fi anime. The Canglong designed on Sunday has a strong Japanese comic style.

But from the effect point of view, it is still very good, especially the flame generated by air friction when entering the atmosphere, combined with the original color of the fuselage, can give people a very amazing feeling.

When 10,000 meters in the air, the air brakes on the upper and lower fuselages are opened, and the speed is slowly reduced from Mach 15 to Mach 1. After the speed is lower than Mach 1, all the air brakes are retracted, relying on the gravitational potential energy and the accuracy of the flight control AI. Controlled, without turning on the ion thruster, the Canglong landed smoothly at the end of the airport runway.

With the help of the last bit of inertia, the Canglong spacecraft docked precisely on its own tarmac.

Then the escalator descended, waiting for the arrival of passengers.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the future technology company building, at this time, there were already passengers waiting to go to the moon. Seeing the red dragon, which was next to its size, all the passengers couldn’t help but let out uncontrollable exclamations.

At this time, the service staff in the lobby stepped forward to remind them, “Ladies and gentlemen, the Canglong spacecraft has arrived, and everyone can board the plane.”

Hearing the prompt from the service staff, all the passengers followed the service staff and walked towards the Canglong outside.

While waiting for passengers, Fang entered the warehouse of the Canglong spacecraft with six large container containers.

The mission of the Canglong spacecraft is not only to transport the one hundred passengers, but also the six specially customized large container containers, which are all filled with the Yongping Bridge and various food materials.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Soon a lunar tour group of 100 people came to the Canglong, next to the descending escalator. When observing the Canglong closely, everyone felt the size of the Canglong.

Looking at the company building in the distance before, although it can be seen that the Canglong is very large, it can only be felt at close range. The Canglong is huge, especially flat. The fuselage, and the wings that run through the entire fuselage, exacerbate this.

Following the escalator, everyone entered the interior of the Canglong.

The internal space of the Canglong is the same as its huge size. It looks very large. All the seats are very spaced apart, which is greater than the distance separated by the first-class cabin of the broadcast airliner. However, correspondingly, each seat The chair is also very large, and it looks like it must be very comfortable to lie on.

As the service staff walked forward, they introduced, “These seats that you see not only have massage functions, but you can also watch videos, play games, and call service staff. They are also a small escape pod. The danger of solving, it can eject everyone out.”

“But don’t worry, everyone. The escape capsule has its own power system. Although the power is very small, it’s okay to put it back on the earth or the moon. It also has a positioning device inside, and it’s enough for one person to eat for 5 days. Drinking water and compressed food, in five days, even if no one finds you, the power of the escape capsule is enough to send you back to the space station in earth orbit.” The service personnel explained.

“Okay, please sit down at the place you chose and fasten your seat belts. We are going to set off soon. If you want to experience the sound piercing the atmosphere, you can just turn on the spacecraft’s panoramic AR projection, or you can Make choices on the screen in front of your eyes, but if you have a fear of heights or heart disease and other dangerous diseases, please don’t experience this project.” The service staff reminded.

During the explanation from the service staff, everyone took their seats, and then the service staff began to check whether everyone was wearing a seat belt.

After the inspection, the 10 service personnel also returned to their positions, fastened their seat belts, and waited for takeoff.

After everyone was ready, the tractor dragged the Canglong to the take-off runway. Then, the four large ion thrusters at the tail of the Canglong started, and the powerful thrust pushed everyone firmly on the soft seats. .

After sliding only 300 meters, the Canglong spacecraft left the ground. After a short climb, the Canglong spacecraft flew directly upwards, and the power of the four large ion thrusters was also maximized.

Soon the Canglong reached Mach 1, then Mach 3, Mach 5, and then stabilized at Mach 10.

Because it is transportation acceleration, even ordinary people will not feel any sense of discomfort. As the altitude gets higher and higher, the air becomes thinner and thinner, and the speed of Mach 10 also starts to increase, until Mach 30, rushing out of the atmosphere. .

During this period, many people turned on the spacecraft’s panoramic AR projection, which is actually pupil laser projection.

After turning on the panoramic AR projection, all the scenes outside the spacecraft are presented in front of my eyes. Looking at the earth from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters is a very novel experience, especially the azure blue sky of the earth, which makes people feel like returning home. The feeling of being outside, especially when the panoramic AR projection is turned on, this feeling is more intense and obvious.

As they left the atmosphere, people who turned on the panoramic AR projection saw the super-large space stations in the Earth’s low-Earth orbit, as well as the surrounding large and small space factories, and the Earth-Moon translational point, which was as large as more than 400,000. A space power station visible to the naked eye from a kilometer away.

After leaving the gravity of the earth, everyone felt a little lighter, but they did not feel weightless when entering space. After someone asked questions, the AI ​​artificial intelligence on the Canglong gave the answer, “The spacecraft is still accelerating, accelerating. The inertia is controlled at 1G, which is exactly the same degree as the gravity of the earth. The acceleration will last for an hour, and the speed will reach a speed of 33.4 kilometers per second. After an hour of unpowered sliding, after an hour of deceleration, We have reached the moon.”

The reason why it is so fast is all dependent on the four large ion thrusters, which is also one of the important purposes of building this spacecraft. After all, long-term space navigation can make people feel very tired.

In order to achieve such a large thrust-to-weight ratio, Wang Lei deliberately upgraded the ion thruster, but the price is its high cost. A large ion thruster costs 200 million US dollars, but Wang Lei is already stepping up the design of new ion thrusters.
