Zhao Ming did not make any changes to the passenger list and directly clicked the approval button in the internal approval system.

In order to convince these gringos, they must have their own people land on the celestial sphere to have a look in person, and it would be best to bring back some local products as evidence.

As long as they control all the spaceships traveling to and from the celestial sphere, it is impossible for them to pull off any tricks.

Want to make money? You can, but you must do your job honestly.

At the same time, the construction work of Area 51 on the celestial sphere is nearing completion. The main buildings have been completed and the water supply and power supply equipment have been installed. Construction can start immediately as soon as experts on Earth arrive with the equipment on the celestial sphere.

These experts were also recruited with help from Wei Jianguo and others, but this matter is a secret, and only a limited number of people know about it.

This group of people is not large, and they are inconspicuous among the nearly a hundred passengers. In addition, they are also experts in studying animals or plants, so it is not surprising to be among the first group to go to the celestial sphere.

A few days later, passengers from all over the world arrived one after another, and Daming Aerospace also made final preparations before departure.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, one hundred passengers of different skin colors, photographed by various media, took their belongings and began to board the ship with excitement.

The takeoff time of the spacecraft is exactly 12 noon. This is because the planned flight route is heading towards the sun, so the departure distance is the shortest at this time, which can save at least several thousand kilometers...

Well, in fact, this distance is insignificant compared to the total distance of more than 150 million kilometers. The main reason is that if we set off at noon, we will arrive at the celestial sphere at noon.

Because the rotations of the two planets are basically synchronized and they are located on both sides of the sun, there is a time difference of exactly 12 hours.

The time difference of 12 hours plus the 36 hours spent on the road is exactly 48 hours, which can give people the illusion of "arriving just after departure".

Although there is still nearly an hour before the launch time, as it is the first time for humans to go to a habitable planet beyond the earth, many people still gathered in front of the screen to watch the live broadcast.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Daming Aerospace began to broadcast a basic introduction to several base cities on the celestial sphere, as well as an introduction to the customs and customs of the Ming Dynasty, the only indigenous civilization. By the way, it gave people a sense of "This is my territory, you are welcome to come."

Come as a guest” feeling.

However, just like the belief that the earth is flat, even at this time, there are still some people who doubt the authenticity of the celestial sphere.

However, in front of many sane netizens, these mentally retarded people can't even afford to be trolled, so they don't dare to speak out anymore.

"The first person to board the ship is the scientific expedition team from the lighthouse country."

The voice of the reporter at the scene came from the TV.

I saw a large group of tall, white-skinned people walking out of the airport waiting room. There were men and women among them. They were happily smiling and waving to the camera as they walked away. They looked like they were going on a trip.

The reporter here is still introducing the list: "The one at the front is the famous geologist from the Lighthouse Country..."

As the country that paid the most, apart from China itself, they also secured the largest number of quotas, with more than 20 people.

"The next person to appear is the delegation from the Bear Country. They are from..."

The people of the Bear Country all move quickly and have serious expressions. They don't look like they are going on a scientific investigation, but like they are going to a battlefield.

Then there are scientists from European countries such as Britain, France, and Germany, as well as scientists from island countries who represent Asia’s little brothers.

The Chinese delegation was the last to board the ship and the largest in number, accounting for more than half of all passengers.

Due to the need for confidentiality, no detailed list of these people was given, and reporters could only generally refer to them as the Chinese Scientific Expedition Team when reporting.

After everyone boarded the Lightning, the tail hatch slowly closed, and the spacecraft began to conduct safety inspections before takeoff.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready, and the passengers had all laid down in their respective berths and fastened their seat belts.

The Lightning's anti-gravity engine started, and the hull began to slowly stand up.

At this time, the TV screen switched to the interior of the spacecraft, and the passengers who had just boarded the ship were seen floating on their bunks one by one. They were actually in a state of complete weightlessness, exactly the same as the situation inside the space station.

Although this process has actually been repeated many times, for most netizens, this was the first time they saw the Lightning taking off, and they couldn't help but comment on how novel it was.

"10,9,8,7..."

As 12 o'clock approached, the launch countdown also began on the TV screen. Many viewers spontaneously followed the countdown loudly through the screen, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

When the countdown ended, the spacecraft did not emit a large amount of thick smoke at the bottom like the rocket launches that everyone had watched before. Instead, it soared directly out of the air, faster and faster.

After the spacecraft took off, everyone saw that there was no flame at the bottom of the spacecraft, but the flame was too small and incompatible with the huge hull.

It's probably as unreal as tying a few fireworks to the back of a large truck, then lighting the fireworks and pushing the truck forward.

"Dear audience friends, this is not magic or magic, but because after starting the anti-gravity engine, the entire spacecraft has completely escaped the influence of the earth's gravity, just like a big balloon..."

The reporters at the scene proudly taught the audience about the black technology of Daming Aerospace, completely forgetting that they themselves only learned about it a few hours ago.

Since it was noon, the spacecraft pointed its bow at a navigation point near the sun shortly after liftoff, and then started the warp engine.

Unfortunately, the spacecraft is too far away from the ground at this time, and people on the ground can no longer directly see the spectacle of space compression and expansion.

Half an hour later, the second transport ship "Thunder" set off on time and performed the take-off process again.

However, no footage of the interior of the spacecraft was shown during this takeoff, otherwise the audience would have discovered that the cabin of the Thunder was completely empty.

The crew of the Thunder are now all fixed in the cargo hold by electromagnets. Even the bridge is empty. The entire spacecraft is completely in automatic flight mode.

The Thunder's takeoff was also very smooth. It even omitted the action of raising the bow to point at the sun. It flew directly from a lying position, completed the steering operation during the ascent, and then started the warp engine in the same direction.

Fly to the first navigation point.
