When the Ross family's private jet was still five kilometers away from the space base, it was traveling at a snail's pace. The pilot was discussing connection matters with the base.
From this distance, ordinary people like Wang Qingyu can already see the entire space base clearly.
In the vast, rootless space, the steel-cast space base rotates slowly, giving people a feeling of incomparable insignificance.
"Mr. Philip, your space base should have been around for a long time, right? Why is there no news in the world?" After the shock, Wang Qingyu asked little Ross curiously.
Philip smiled and replied: "There are tens of thousands of satellites orbiting the earth in space. It is impossible for the existence of the base not to be discovered. We have three ways to deal with it. The first is to stay away from the satellites surrounding the earth as much as possible; the second is to We use our own technology to block signals and hide them, and the third is to use our family’s influence on the earth to secretly erase all traces, so until now, no one in the world knows the existence of this base.”
"That's it," Wang Qingyu suddenly said.
Not to mention the first two coping methods, it is too easy to erase some traces of the influence of the Ross family alone.
"It must be difficult to build it, right?" Bai Yang asked.
It was a rare opportunity to show off. Philip looked at Bai Yang and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the cost of building this base is too high. When Earth's technology can send satellites into space, our family started to build this space base. Initially it was just a space capsule. Due to technical reasons at the time, it could only send some simple satellites into space. You can imagine how difficult it was to send a space capsule the size of a room. In order to send the space capsule up, it completely failed. It took thirty-eight attempts to successfully send a space capsule up.”
"In the future, because of the successful experience, our family increased investment and started construction based on the original space capsule, sending them one by one for docking, just like the current construction of the space station. At that time, due to technical reasons We encountered more difficulties, but with our family's investment regardless of cost, the initial space station was built bit by bit. Hundreds of factories and millions of people worked hard on the ground. It took a full 20 years to complete only 18 A space station with a single cabin!”
Bai Yangmoran, I am afraid that only the Ross family can do such a big thing, not even a country. After all, the development of the country is in all aspects, and it is impossible to devote all the energy to one thing.
Philip continued: "I wasn't born yet at that time, and I only learned about all this after reading the documents left behind, but I have to sigh, how shocking it was that a space station could be built with the technology of the time. !”
"Indeed, let alone decades ago, even with today's technological means, no country can reach the level of that time alone," Bai Yang agreed.
"Yes, after the original space station was built, and with the development of science and technology, the speed behind it became faster. In the future, the space capsule was no longer transported separately, but the components were directly produced on the ground and transported up for assembly. It was not until now that "It's what we saw," Philip said proudly.
After hearing this, Bai Yang couldn't imagine how much manpower, material and financial resources had been spent from the beginning of the Ross family's plan to build the space base to now, and the number of people who died might even be in the tens of thousands!
"What about safety? After decades of construction, it can't always be smooth sailing, right?" Wang Qingyu asked from the side.
"If it's safe, we can only bite the bullet. The fact is that from the beginning of the construction of the space base to now, we have experienced a total of five major disasters, and there are countless small difficulties. I won't talk about the small difficulties, let's talk about the five The two major disasters all came from various problems in the starry sky. The first time was disease, and all the people on it died. The second time was the lack of timely delivery of resources, and another group of people died. When we gradually overcome After these two problems, a bigger disaster came. In the second year, the 28th year, and the 35th year after the space station was built, it was hit by meteorites three times. Those three times, the space station was almost destroyed. After a reconstruction, it is now considered stable. The current base is an assembled structure. Even if it is partially damaged, it can be discarded and replaced later. In short, the construction of this space station has almost run through the development history of our Ross family in the past hundred years." Phillip replied with a sigh.
After hearing these words, Bai Yang analyzed it. Although the Ross family spent a huge price to build this space station, they also mastered countless advanced technologies and used these technologies to make money and expand their influence. This is probably the reason why the Ross family is today. !
Bai Yang can only say that efforts are always rewarded.
While they were chatting, the private plane had already approached the space base. The circular space base was slowly rotating, and the plane also controlled its speed to approach the base in sync with it.
When the distance between the two sides is ten meters, both the space base and the aircraft extend their mechanical arms to connect, and then close the distance until they fit together.
At this time, the aircraft gradually reduced its own kinetic energy. After a few minutes, it was completely rotated by the base and became part of the base. There is no gravity in the vacuum of the universe, and the addition of the aircraft does not bring a burden to the base.
All this sounds simple, but it is just the proximity and combination of the aircraft and the base. The methods and technologies involved are enough to stun countless scientists on the earth. After all, this is the vast space!
When the plane and the base were completely combined, Bai Yang only felt the plane tremble slightly, and then the plane was no longer in a zero-gravity state, and he could stand and walk freely just like on the ground.
"There is gravity, how do you do it?" Bai Yang asked Phillip.
Philip unfastened his seat belt and stood up to move his hands and feet and shrugged. "The base is pulled by the earth's magnetic field and rotates with the earth. Just like the earth rotates around the sun, the base itself is also rotating, thus producing a gravitational effect. How does it work?" I don’t know. If Mr. Bai is interested, I can ask some experts in this field to explain it to you."
"That's not necessary, but your family is really amazing," Bai Yang said, shaking his head.
He was just curious about the production of gravity. If he tried to understand it carefully, he might not be able to finish it in three days and three nights. Bai Yang didn't have that interest.
The wall shook slightly, then cracked from the upper and lower sides, and a passage more than twenty meters long appeared in Baiyang's sight.
The lights in the passage were bright, and ten powerful guards wearing black suits stood in two rows. They had weapons bulging under their clothes, but they bowed their heads slightly with respect.
"Mr. Bai, welcome to the Ross family branch in space. The reception to welcome you has been prepared. Several of my family members are looking forward to meeting you." Ross bent slightly and extended his hand to greet you.
"Please" Bai Yang nodded.
Wang Qingyu followed Bai Yang and reached out to hold Bai Yang's arm.
This space base is just a branch of the Ross family. Since there is one base, will there be two? It seems that the Ross family knows that eggs cannot be put in one basket, Bai Yang thought to himself.
Philip led the way, and the group of them stepped into the passage. When they reached the end, the metal door opened automatically, and what appeared in front of them was a white passage three meters high and five meters wide.
There was already an open scooter waiting in the passage. After they got on the car, the car started. Based on the base pattern seen from the outside too fast, Bai Yang probably guessed that the car was heading towards the center of the base.
A few minutes later, the car stopped. Under Phillip's guidance, Bai Yang and the others arrived at a hall with an area of more than a thousand square meters.
The lights in the hall were bright, and dozens of maids and waiters were either waiting quietly or busy. However, when Bai Yang and the others arrived, they all stopped what they were doing and looked over and respectfully greeted Mr. Bai's arrival.
Obviously, Baiyang's itinerary has given timely feedback to all aspects of this base.
It was said to be a reception to welcome Bai Yang, but it was actually not that lively. There were only a dozen main members, sitting on both sides of a thirty-meter-long dining table. After Bai Yang arrived, they all stood up and looked over.
Phillip took Bai Yang over and introduced them one by one. There was the general security director of the space base, the person in charge of base construction, and the person in charge of base environment coordination...
There were more than ten people, and Lin Lin was finally one of the most important members of the entire base. Bai Yang nodded and shook hands and exchanged greetings with each one, which was regarded as acquaintance.
Finally, Phillip focused on introducing three people, namely two blond middle-aged people and a blond beauty with the same purple pupils as Phillip.
The two middle-aged men were Phillip's father and his uncle, and the blonde beauty was Phillip's sister.
Arriving at this space base, only three real members of the entire Philip family came except Philip.
"Mr. Bai, you have traveled thousands of miles to come. On behalf of the Ross family, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to you."
Philip's father Donn Ross looked at Bai Yang and smiled.
Immediately there was a sparse but warm applause.
"Mr. Bai, please sit down. Standing and talking is not the way our Ross family treats guests," said Philip's uncle Doug Ross after the applause.
The two parties sat down, and Phillip's sister Weiwei Rose looked at Bai Yang curiously and said, "Mr. Bai, it's great to meet you. You can call me Weiwei. There are so many magical things about you that I can't wait to know." is you"
Weiwei* Rose has charming waist-length blond hair. I don’t know if it’s because of the Rose family’s excellent genes. She is extremely beautiful. She has an angelic face that can be said to turn all living beings upside down, especially a pair of purple eyes that are simply mesmerizing. , the figure is so hot that even Wang Qingyu next to Bai Yang is inferior, and the white texture of the skin is as delicate as milk, which makes people have the urge to try to see if they can squeeze out water.
This is a monster who can kill almost all men instantly!
With just one glance, Bai Yang defined this Weiwei Ross in his heart...
