Chapter 314 Flying to the Moon

Originally, Ye Xuan was planning to recruit only a part of the staff and stop recruiting when the recruitment was full, but after a few days of thinking, he finally accepted all comers.

The main reason is that working in space requires a lot of training in advance. It is impossible to work without a few months of adaptation. In the future, he will recruit tens of millions of people. Instead of slowly recruiting people again and again, and then carry out the work For training, it is better to recruit all the people directly for the first time, so that whenever needed, they can be directly recruited to work.

Although it will cost more money, he doesn't care about it at all. He can afford it no matter how much it costs.

Therefore, a total of nearly 5,000 people were recruited this time. If the physical fitness requirements were not too strict, it might be more than double that number.

In the next few days, Ye Xuan spent time in the laboratory, working overtime with the scientific researchers. Finally, the first real spaceship was officially born. In theory, it would take less than seven hours to go to the moon. It will take no more than eight hours at most and will completely connect the Earth and the Moon.

Looking at the unusually sci-fi and huge spaceship in front of him, Ye Xuan asked: "Mr. Lin, what is the approximate manufacturing price of this special ship?"

Mr. Lin answered truthfully: "Excluding labor costs, it's almost 2 billion Chinese coins. The main cost is materials. They use some rare metals, otherwise the price will drop a lot again."

Ye Xuan frowned and said: "How is the research on alloy technology? Can it replace the original rare metals of this spacecraft?"

Mr. Lin said with a smile: "It's almost done. We have already tried to use the next one, and the cost will drop from 2 billion to about 200 million."

"Okay!" Ye Xuan nodded, caressed the big guy in front of him, and asked, "Is it ready for test flight?"

"It has been prepared for a long time and can fly at any time."

Although everyone believes in this technology, this is the first time that a dedicated person will conduct a test flight. After all, no one knows whether there will be any emergencies. Such a speeding aircraft may cause death if not careful. , there is no room for salvation.

As a person walked in, an alarm sounded immediately, "Warning, all personnel leave this place immediately, warning, all personnel leave this place immediately!"

In fact, according to the design, this spacecraft can only be driven normally by three to five people. Its length reaches 20 meters, its width is five meters, and its height is four meters. It is a very huge guy, but because it was the first test flight, it did not fly. There are not so many pilots, so one person can actually complete it.

"Attention all units, attention to all units, Trailblazer One will be ignited in ten minutes, everyone enters the corresponding position!"

"Attention all units, attention to all units, Trailblazer One will be ignited in ten minutes, everyone enters the corresponding position!"

The announcement was made several times in a row, putting everyone on high alert.

"Five minutes left!"

"One more minute!"

"Start the countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7..."

"ignition!"

Almost instantly, a large amount of flames were ejected from the belly of Pioneer 1, pushing the huge guy into the sky. Then, after it withstood hundreds of meters in the air, the tail engine also began to run.

"The speed is increased to one hundred meters per second, the speed is increased to five hundred meters per second, the speed is increased to one thousand meters per second..."

"It has surpassed the first cosmic speed and can fly away from the earth. It has already entered space after leaving the earth. Continue to increase the speed!"

It can be said that orders were issued continuously from the command center, and during this process, the Pioneer One performed extremely perfectly, without any flaws.

"Continue to accelerate and conduct the first lunar route test flight!"

"While accelerating, the speed has reached 50%, 60%, and 70% of the maximum speed. Everything in the engine is normal and there is no fault at all. You can continue to accelerate. The speed has reached 100% of the maximum speed. Ninety percent, one hundred percent, one hundred and eleven percent!”

"Warning, warning, the maximum speed has exceeded the predetermined ten percent!"

Mr. Lin stared closely at the screen and said to the people beside him: "Is there any problem with the engine? Can it continue to accelerate?"

"There is no problem for now, you can continue to accelerate!"

"Then keep accelerating, and remember to notify me as soon as possible if there are any problems."

"clear!"

"The speed has reached 20%, 30%, 40% of the fastest speed..."

Finally, when it reached 50%, Mr. Lin asked the people below to stop accelerating. This has reached the fastest speed in theory. If it is increased, I am afraid that the outer shell will begin to be unable to withstand it.

And to surpass the original 50%, which originally took seven hours, that is to say, it now only takes three and a half hours to do it.

"Sure enough, in the case of a vacuum, all damage will be reduced to a minimum and faster speeds can be achieved!"

The seven hours reported at the beginning was the most conservative data. Now, we can only talk about the data from the first test, but the real limit has not been reached. It is not impossible to exceed 100% of the predetermined speed. It is just that the spacecraft used by that time The material will most likely be unable to withstand it and will be the first to collapse.

"The Pioneer is approaching the moon and will start sending back corresponding pictures!"

I saw potholes appearing in front of people's eyes one after another, getting bigger and bigger, appearing in front of people's eyes without reservation.

"It's really fascinating!"

Looking at the photos sent back, many people sighed and were really fascinated by the pictures in front of them.

As for the moon, it can be said to be the planet closest to the earth, and it will also be the first existence that humans will challenge. Her mysterious veil is teasing countless scientists all the time, and they are uncovering it bit by bit. Now, part of it is about to be revealed.

"We are about to arrive at Earth, start slowing down!"

As the order was given, a small engine immediately appeared in front of the Pioneer and started spraying to block the speed of its flight.

Ye Xuan said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, do you need anyone inside to go to the moon?"

He was also very excited when his company's spacecraft reached the moon so easily. After all, the outer sky is too mysterious for humans.

"I'm afraid it won't work this time. We haven't prepared the corresponding moon landing tools at all." Mr. Lin shook his head and said, "But we can bring back some things!"

"Fly low-altitude into the moon's surface to look for meteorites!"

It is impossible to land on the moon, but there is no problem in bringing back a piece of original meteorite.

"clear!"
