"So... that magical launch vehicle from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has indeed been launched into space?"
"Yes."
"How high is the so-called space above the ground?"
"I don't know. But according to the data released by the New Aviation Chamber of Commerce, the artificial satellite they successfully launched is about 130 kilometers above the ground."
"One hundred and thirty kilometers from the ground? How far is it from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
"It should be more than two thousand kilometers..."
"You said, since the New Aviation Chamber of Commerce can send a magic carrier rocket to fly so high in the sky, then if we just let it fly far, wouldn't it be able to fly very far away?"
"Judging from the rocket launch principles and some data released by the New Aviation Chamber of Commerce, this is possible."
"So... is it possible to fly here directly from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
"This... subordinate doesn't know."
"You said, if what the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce loaded on the magic launch vehicle was not an artificial satellite, but a magic missile, wouldn't it be possible to hit me directly from the main base of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce?"
"I don't know."
"Does this mean that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually already has the ability to launch ultra-long-range attacks at any time and anywhere?"
"I don't know."
"If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing, no matter how strong our city defense is, it will actually be meaningless?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know? You don't know either this or that. What do you know?"
"Subordinate... I don't know..."

"President, this is the height of the synchronous orbit above the ground that I calculated. Do you have any questions?" Sancheli turned around and asked Xu Yi, pointing to a number displayed on the magic illusion in front of him.
"32,714 kilometers?" Xu Yi squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded. "Since it is the data calculated by your team, of course I believe there is no problem."
Sancheli showed a proud smile, patted a workbench next to him and said, "President, it's just a calculation. It's nothing to this Tianshen."
"Really?" Xu Yi smiled, his eyes falling on the huge metal monster opposite Sancheli, and he felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
Sancheli has been designing automated programs since he was recruited into the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. And it has achieved outstanding results, making Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's current semi-automatic and even fully automatic machine tools popular, occupying almost all the machine tool market in the entire Sainz continent.
But Xu Yi never expected that Sancheli would actually develop the monster in front of him.
This one was named "Celestial" by Sancheli and consisted of countless sophisticated instruments. The metal monster is so huge that it fills the entire room. From a functional point of view, it is clearly a computer!
That's right, this by-product developed by Sancheli based on the magic automation program is almost the same as the computer on earth in terms of principle and function.
Of course, this magic computer is still in a very primitive state, and its performance is similar to the first computer that appeared on the earth. It is only in the basic computing mode because it uses the magic signal stimulation method. It is slightly different from the current-driven control used by computers on Earth.
And from Xu Yi, a person who knows something about both, this "Tianjin" is actually much more advanced than the first computer on earth.
The first computer on earth was composed of countless electron tubes, and then relied on these tubes, which could only handle the simplest signal requirements, to perform more complex operations.
However, the Celestial Being developed by Sancheli directly uses magic signal stimulation, and can even directly perform complex calculations, and then communicate the results as command symbols. It is undoubtedly much stronger than the first computer on earth. .
The reason why the performance of both parties is similar is actually mainly due to the gap in craftsmanship and Sancheli's lack of personal knowledge accumulation.
If Sainz Continental's manufacturing process is further improved. At the same time, Sancheli has more complete knowledge of mathematical theory, so the performance of this Celestial will definitely make a leap, and will definitely far exceed the first generation of computers on earth.
But even so, when Xu Yi learned of the existence of the Tianshen. You can't help but be amazed by it.
Of course he hopes to have a computer on Earth as a helper to complete various tasks, and he has indeed thought that after the magic industry on the continent of Sainz develops to a certain extent, there may be products similar to computers.
But he never thought that the Tianshen would appear so early or so soon.
Xu Yi couldn't think of any explanation for this. It can only be attributed to Sancheli's personal talent.
If there wasn't such a monster-level guy, it would have taken at least twenty years for the Tianshen to appear, according to Xu Yi's estimate.
"President, do you want me to calculate the use of synchronous orbit?" Sancheli asked curiously.
"Oh, this thing is very useful. For example, if I want to achieve magic communication signal coverage across the planet through communication satellites, then it is necessary to have more than a dozen synchronous communication satellites in suitable locations."
"Really? But hasn't the Chamber of Commerce already created a high-altitude magic signal beacon, which has solved the need for ultra-long-distance magic communication between the two continents?"
"This is different." Xu Yi shook his head. "Although the high-altitude magic signal beacon can solve this problem, its existence itself is unstable and is easily affected by high-altitude air currents and other abnormal conditions. Therefore, when we are communicating with the Magic Cloud Continent, the signal is often affected. Even interruptions. Communication satellites in synchronous orbit do not need to worry about this. And because they are far away from the ground, their coverage is very wide. In theory, only three communication satellites can cover the entire planet. If you use high-altitude magic signal beacons, according to calculations, you will need more than 400 at least. You should be very clear about the cost difference. "
Sancheli nodded in understanding.
"In addition, geosynchronous orbit satellites also have some very special functions, which are not obvious yet, but you will know in the future..."
Speaking of this, Xu Yi gave up.
Sancheli gave him a strange look and did not pursue the question.
"But Mr. Chairman, according to my calculations, if we want to launch a geosynchronous orbit satellite, the power requirements of the magic launch vehicle have far exceeded our current capabilities, so I am afraid that such a satellite cannot be successfully launched now."
"You calculated this secretly, right?" Xu Yi smiled slightly.
Sancheli blushed and nodded in admission.
"Yes..." He understood immediately. "What? Is the calculation wrong? But I have imported all the data and calculated it in detail many times? If you want to launch a magic launch vehicle weighing dozens of tons directly to a place more than 30,000 kilometers above the ground, right? The demand for motivation is astonishing. Don’t say that our chamber of commerce can’t do it now. I even think it will be difficult for our chamber of commerce to do it in the future.”
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, patted Sancheli on the shoulder and said: "Sancheli, you should communicate more with the researchers from the Astronomy Department and Physics Department of the Magic Research Institute. Your calculation itself may be correct, but in You've already made a fatal mistake before you do the calculations. Launching something into the sky is not as simple as throwing it into the air. It actually takes a lot less power than throwing something into the sky. ”
"Really?" Sancheli touched his head awkwardly. "I don't know much about this area of knowledge. It seems that I really need to learn more."
"No, the most important thing for you now is not to learn astronomy knowledge, but to do more advanced training in mathematics." Xu Yi pointed to the huge body of the Tianshen behind Sancheli. "In my opinion, Tianshen is even more important than launching satellites. I hope you can spend more time on it in the future and strive to improve its performance as much as possible."
Sancheli looked back at the Celestial, feeling a little confused.
This thing was only used to facilitate his calculations when designing the automated magic machine tool. In his opinion, it was just a convenient product, but he did not expect that it would receive such attention from the president. It was an unexpected surprise.
"Okay. President, I will study it carefully. But... does this have anything to do with you asking me to learn mathematics?" Sancheli asked doubtfully.
"You don't know now. When you reach a certain progress in your research, you will realize the importance of mathematics." Xu Yi said seriously.
Sancheli responded immediately and sincerely.
After chatting with Xu Yi for a few more questions related to the Tianshen, Sancheli suddenly felt something in his heart and asked Xu Yi: "President, since we can send satellites to the sky this time, can we send people to the sky in the future?" Send it up too?"
"Of course." Xu Yi nodded with unusual certainty, and then glanced at Sancheli. "What? Do you want to travel in space?"
Sancheli immediately showed an expression of infinite longing.
"Of course I have! I dreamed of seeing the planet below us from space. It must be so beautiful!"
"Haven't the images of planets from space been shown countless times? Aren't you tired of seeing them yet?"
"How can it be the same? Watching it through a magical illusion is impossible to compare with seeing it with your own eyes."
Xu Yi shrugged: "Well, I can only tell you that it will definitely be possible to send people to space in the future, but I am not sure when exactly it will be possible, and I am even less sure whether the person sent up by then will be you."
"It's my dream to fly into space!" Sancheli whispered seriously.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
Flying into the sky is the slogan and dream he has been shouting.
Not many people believed it before, but now that the satellite has been successfully launched, it has suddenly become the most popular saying on the Sainz continent. (~^~)
