Chapter 532 Countdown
Between the ground and the fire route, the Suiren, which had completed the replacement of its anti-gravity system, suddenly turned from static.
Within the twenty-four areas of the spacecraft, twenty-four small fusion devices burst out majestic energy and infused it into the anti-gravity system.
The anti-gravity system is awakened, pushing the spacecraft to begin extreme acceleration.
"The Suiren continues to accelerate..."
"Real-time speed...Mach 22.5...Mach 30.8...Mach 45.8..."
In an instant, the Suiren's speed exceeded its previous speed limit and continued to climb rapidly.
"Mach 56.8...Mach 88.8..."
"The anti-gravity system detects normal and operates stably."
"The energy system is operating normally, the load is 51%, and the data is normal."
"The connection between various areas of the spacecraft is normal, the synchronization is normal, and there are no errors."
"The Suiren's course data has been corrected...the correction is completed and the steering is completed."
"Real-time speed... Mach 108.1... Mach 115.8..."
As the speed of the Suiren approached its limit speed, the speed increase gradually slowed down and began to stabilize.
Finally, amidst the intense feedback and instructions, a voice sounded.
"Speed 133.5 Mach, extreme acceleration completed."
Soft cheers rang out in the command room, and a smile appeared on Zhang Zhai's face.
in the universe,
The Suiren began to sail steadily and at a constant speed, heading towards the next node at the ultimate speed.
At this moment, a group of media reporters at the back of the command room also reacted and excitedly reported to the camera.
“Here is a news channel teamed up with a number of new media to bring you a full online live broadcast of the construction of the Earth and Fire node transmission system.
Just now, the picture we saw was Zhaicheng Aerospace's replacement of the Suiren's anti-gravity system.
According to information provided by Zhai Cheng Aerospace, the new anti-gravity system is still developed by Zhai Shen. Its ultimate speed is three times that of the previous anti-gravity system. Breakthroughs in anti-gravity technology will further shorten the time between interstellar voyages...
…”
"...The distance between the stars will be shortened again. This is a great moment that we will witness together!" Penguin News reporters also reported excitedly.
"...The replacement of the Suiren anti-gravity system will further accelerate the implementation of the plan to build the Earth-fire node transmission system and greatly advance the time for the Suiren to arrive on Mars. It can be expected that at this time, the Suiren is already halfway through its journey.
With the triple speed increase, we are expected to witness the completion of the Earth-fire node transmission system within ten days." Another reporter reported excitedly.
As the media reported excitedly, all the viewers watching the live broadcast became even more excited.
In the online live broadcast rooms of Penguin News, News Channel, Citizen Daily and other media, countless barrages continued to pour out,
"Ah, according to the previous estimate of 44 days, the remaining voyage should only take about seven days now!"
"Damn it, with the triple speed increase, wouldn't it mean that it will only take two hours to go to the Moon Palace in the future?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I used to arrange a node transmission device every three hours, and I could still convince myself to sleep. Now, one node transmission device is installed every hour..."
"My heart is surging. I just want to say one thing now, the great Zhai Shen!"
...News about the replacement of the new anti-gravity system and the acceleration of the construction plan of the node transmission system began to spread rapidly.
News from a number of media outlets began to flood the Internet.
"The Suiren speeds up! The ground-fire bridge is about to be connected!"
"Historic breakthrough, triple the speed."
"Mars is so close at this moment!"
…With the news flooding the Internet, the news spread to the entire world in a very short time.
Countless people began to discuss excitedly, and the discussion of the node transmission system became more popular again!
…
In the ground control room.
After the anti-gravity system replacement of the Suiren was completed and the extreme acceleration and stable navigation were completed, Zhang Zhai, Professor Hu, Academician Gan and others did not leave in a hurry.
Instead, he waited in the command room for an extra hour.
When the first node transmission device after the replacement of the anti-gravity system is completed and the spacecraft resumes acceleration,
Zhang Zhai, Professor Hu and Academician Gan just stepped out of the command room.
Listening to the soft cheers in the command room behind him that had not completely subsided, Zhang Zhai paused slightly, with a smile on his face, and then continued to walk forward quickly.
The Suiren's first mission and the construction of the ground-to-fire node transmission system have officially entered the countdown stage from this moment.
…
It is estimated that the countdown to completion of the node transmission system is on the seventh day.
Zhaicheng Space Center, manufacturing area on the 12th floor of the rocket building.
"Boom! Boom boom..."
A deafening roar sounded, and the side walls of the manufacturing area on the 12th floor and the side walls of the upper and lower floors were shattered at the same time.
"Dong dong dong..."
The Terminator's heavy footsteps followed closely.
Nearly 10,000 Terminators appeared in the launch area moving four huge components.
The Terminator moved its four huge components closer together, and the outline of an anti-gravity spacecraft appeared.
"squeak……"
Four huge components were placed on the metal frame of the launch area at the same time, and the metal frame deformed slightly.
The moment the four huge components were firmly placed in the launch area, nearly ten thousand Terminators quickly swarmed onto the anti-gravity spacecraft to be assembled, covering any position on the entire spacecraft.
The assembly work of the new anti-gravity spacecraft then began.
With the rapid operation of a group of terminators, the various parts gradually completed the connection, and the traces of the connection gradually disappeared.
outside the launch area.
Zhang Zhai, Academician Gan, Chief Engineer Chen, Professor Hu and others are all here. At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on the new spacecraft being assembled in the launch area.
The spacecraft being assembled is a newly built spacecraft with a life support system in the manufacturing area, and is named Zhurong.
After the Zhurong spacecraft is assembled, it will participate in the Mars manned landing plan.
Zhang Zhai looked at the Zhurong being assembled in the launch area and couldn't help but smile.
He had previously persuaded Academician Gan and Professor Hu to reluctantly agree to his personal participation in the Mars manned landing plan, but the condition was that to ensure his safety, he needed to agree to add some additional protective measures.
After that, he spent a lot of effort to convince the team leaders, and the condition was that some additional protective measures must be added.
The Zhuronghao being assembled at the moment is that extra protective measure.
According to the plan, Zhang Zhai and a group of researchers will take the Yanhuang rover to Mars, and the Zhurong rover will accompany them throughout the journey to share risks.
Smiling, Zhang Zhai looked away and began to communicate in a low voice with Professor Hu, Academician Gan and others beside him.
Time passes slowly.
After a while, the assembly work of the Zhurong was still continuing.
Zhang Zhai, Professor Hu, Academician Gan and others left one after another.
In the comprehensive conference room on the fourth floor,
Research and discussions on the Mars city construction plan, the corresponding resource extraction plan, and the manned Mars landing plan are still continuing.
The sounds of arguments and discussions echoed in the conference room from time to time.
…
It is estimated that the countdown to completion of the node transmission system will be six days.
The assembly work of the Zhurong was successfully completed, and the anti-gravity system of the Yanhuang was also replaced.
In the launch area in front of the Zhaicheng Space Center, the Zhurong and Yanhuang were parked quietly, waiting for the moment to be awakened!
…
In the comprehensive conference room on the fourth floor, the debate continued, and the improvement work of various plans was advanced at the same time.
"On the last issue of the Mars city construction plan, voting has begun." Academician Gan stood up and looked at everyone in the conference room.
"Raise your palms if you agree with Plan No. 181, and raise your fist if you agree with Plan No. 216."
The moment the words fell, everyone in the conference room raised their hands.
Zhang Zhai, who was sitting at the front of the conference table, glanced at it.
There is no surprise. Except for those who supported the other plans and did not express their opinions, the rest of the people basically agreed on the two plans in half. Although there was a gap, it was not big.
"I have some thoughts and opinions. It's Plan 217. Let's take a look." Zhang Zhai gestured to A1 to display the plan on his holographic screen in front of the responsible persons.
In an instant, the conference room suddenly became quiet.
After a while, the discussion on this extremely divisive issue finally came to an end due to Zhang Zhai's intervention.
Plan No. 217 was basically passed unanimously.
Chapter completed!
