Synchronization rate 80!
This number is nothing when it comes to controlling neuron machinery, but it is already very high when it comes to controlling a spaceship. It is precisely because of this that Carl will undoubtedly become the first spaceship test pilot in Stellar City. .
It is precisely because of this that Mark, the head of the aerospace department, attaches so much importance to Karl, and even encouraged Karl personally.
But Karl didn't know this at this time. He only knew that he was the only one selected from more than a dozen applicants, and then he conducted a month-long secret training, all in order to further improve his human-machine skills. synchronization rate of interactions while avoiding experimental failures.
"The time has come. Everything on the hull of the spacecraft is in good condition. The responsible persons are closely monitoring every move of the spacecraft." On the holographic screen, a female voice sounded again, "Sir Carl, follow my orders and prepare for the countdown to the test flight!"
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Three, two. One!"
Following the last reminder, Carl suddenly squinted his eyes. The nerve signals inside his brain were completely connected to the neuron synchronization device. With just a slight thought fluctuation, the Apocalypse roared violently again!
At the same time, a feeling of weightlessness suddenly came from the soles of his feet. If Karl's body was not fixed by various devices, he would have been thrown into the air instantly!
This was a reaction that would only occur after leaving the planet and being in a weightless state in space, but the amazing thing is that all of this happened inside the planet!
If any unrelated person saw all this, I am afraid they would immediately exclaim: Anti-gravity!
Antigravity has always only appeared in science fiction novels and movies. The reason is that to send vehicles such as rockets and space shuttles into the sky, it requires a large amount of money and resources. Therefore, people expect the emergence of a technology that can greatly reduce costs, and anti-gravity technology is the technology with the lowest cost but the least safety and expense.
Just some time ago, when Stellar City was dismantling the Elysium Spaceship piece by piece, it accidentally obtained the antigravity engine of the Elysium Spaceship. After a series of disassembly and research, Mark and his scientific research team finally created the first A miniature anti-gravity engine capable of changing the position of gravity.
But if you think about it, you can understand that the Elysium Space weighs more than 100 million tons. If it does not use anti-gravity and other equipment, let alone lift off, even if it is placed on the ground, its huge mass will crush the continental shelf, and To send a spacecraft of such weight to the sky requires endless energy!
That price. It is definitely not something that the resource-poor human civilization in the amnesia plane of deep space can bear.
In short, the birth of the anti-gravity engine can be said to be an achievement with the highest value in human science and technology, apart from adaptive evolutionary enzymes and the Elysium itself! At this time, the anti-gravity engine was turned on on the Apocalypse, and Carl suddenly felt a feeling of weightlessness.
However, the next second, this feeling of weightlessness disappeared out of thin air. However, Karl's expression was not surprised at all. He could only see that on the holographic screen, the indicator arrow representing gravity had split into two, one pointing upward. One points downward.
This is the self-adjustment judgment of the anti-gravity engine. Outside the Apocalypse shuttle, the gravity is upward. Even if it faces the earth, the spacecraft is not bound by the planet's gravity at all. Inside the spacecraft, gravity returns to normal. This is artificial gravity used so that the pilot will not feel uncomfortable in outer space.
At this time, outside the launch site, Mark and the entire aerospace department were silently watching the Apocalypse on the launch square. From the outside, the Apocalypse looked like a metal ball without any edges and corners, exuding an icy cold air. Brilliant, and at this moment, the ball suddenly trembled, and then floated towards the sky at an extremely fast speed!
That's right, it's floating. Without any reverse thrust from the jet engine, the whole ball rises rapidly without any external interference, like a bubble in the ocean, heading towards the atmosphere with an unswerving attitude. Float away!
"Speed: 1,300 kilometers per hour, expected to enter low-altitude orbit in thirty minutes." The inspector next to him automatically reported the situation of the Apocalypse.
"Karl, speed up. Are you here for sightseeing? There is no need to test at such a slow speed." Mark frowned and turned to look at the screen.
"Yes!" Carl on the Apocalypse couldn't help but tremble all over, and continued to speed up the lift-off speed. Although he felt that the slower he was, the safer he was, but coming to test this was not for safety...
Whoosh!
After entering the atmosphere, gradually, a faint red light began to appear around the Apocalypse. This was due to the heating phenomenon caused by strong friction due to cutting into the atmosphere too quickly. However, the outer shell of the Apocalypse itself was coated with thick insulation. The thermal coating, therefore, was not affected by this friction and still flew unswervingly towards the outer sky!
"At the current altitude of 100km, the Apocalypse has flown into the ionosphere." Listening to the other party's emotionless report, Karl wrung his hands vigorously. He couldn't help but take out a necklace from his neck. This necklace was made of hemp. The ropes are strung together with a heart-shaped brass ornament in the middle. This thing was originally a handicraft that he took out from the garbage mountain many years ago when he was taking out the garbage. Maybe this thing was not valuable, but when his wife got this gift, she still smiled like a child, even as if The treasures were strung up with hemp rope and used as pendants.
"It is the first gift you gave me. Wearing it can bring me good luck." His wife's joyful words kept echoing in her ears.
Later, after learning that he had signed up to participate in this test flight, his wife did not stop him. She just silently took off the necklace that she had treasured for many years, put it solemnly around his neck, and made him swear to God that he would come back alive. …
"Jennifer, wait for me..." Thinking of his wife's expectant and hopeful eyes, Karl's eyes gradually became firm. He clutched the brass pendant tightly and continued to speed up. At this time, the planet Tanis The outer atmosphere is getting thinner and thinner, and the speed of the Apocalypse is getting faster and faster. As long as it exceeds an altitude of five hundred kilometers, it will completely enter the planet's exosphere. Once there, he only needs to use the computer to calculate the shuttle's The angle of entry into orbit, and then staying in space for a few days, and then returning safely, then his mission is considered completed...
At this moment, the sky has changed from jasper-like blue to solid indigo. The sky is dotted with stars. It seems that there is no atmosphere. Even the stars in the sky are brighter.
The starlight was reflected in Karl's eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with shock. Born in the last days, he was the first person to be able to see such a bright starry sky.
