Chapter 517
One stone caused a thousand waves, and all countries were a little dumbfounded.
Dumbness has two aspects: first, the distance is so far, Li Xian, you are not crazy, how can this work together? Second, the 180,000-kilometer railway, are you sure this is not bragging? No, blowing dragon skin is not enough!
180,000 kilometers, not to mention bridges, etc., just talking about the railway itself, will consume unimaginable steel. We don't say how much these steels are worth, just producing these steels is an unimaginable task!
Although we know that Shang Kingdom has been building miracles, Li Xian, are you a little arrogant?
Also, how many countries does the 180,000-mile railway pass through? If a country or a village disagrees, the railway cannot be opened to traffic. What's more, there are countless mountains and rivers, even if you bring an immortal over here, you wouldn't dare to boast like this!
However, no matter how the outside world discusses it, in the Shang Kingdom, most people still firmly believe that Li Xian can create miracles again.
Besides, even if Li Xian is too arrogant, what about Zhao Guo? Could it be that the two countries are too arrogant together? This possibility is not absolutely impossible, but the possibility is very low!
But no matter what, the pictures signed by Li Xian and Prince Zhao Ming were still spread through newspapers.
For this cooperation, it is estimated that 180,000 kilometers of railways will be tentatively invested in the first phase of 2 billion taels of gold to build a dual-channel railway; additional investment will be made later to build four-way and even six-way railways.
At the same time, Shang Kingdom sent Ye Kun, who had just completed the national urban planning, as the project leader and took full responsibility. In addition, Xu Ren was sent to form a special diplomatic team to go to Zhao for a return visit.
In addition, the return visit team of the Kingdom of Shang is not only political and military personnel, but also businessmen. In addition, some representatives of engineers, teachers, judicial personnel, infrastructure, etc. followed. After all, there is a comprehensive cooperation between the Kingdom of Shang and the Kingdom of Zhao, and these personnel are also necessary.
What's more, there are other missions this time, and the countries along the way have to negotiate one by one! For this reason, Li Xian had to dispatch Yuan Yong as Xu Ren's deputy.
The diplomatic missions are being urgently established, and ordinary political personnel and military personnel can say that they can just give orders directly. But the businessman is in a bit of trouble. As soon as he heard that he was going to visit Zhao, the number of businessmen who applied to follow him could not be counted. Even Xie Yuhua applied to lead his art team to perform in Zhao Guo.
The people are too enthusiastic, Li Xian is so sweaty. Xie Yuhua, who used to be a lady, is now becoming more and more presumptuous, even daring to block the door and Li Xian's door.
Fortunately, more explosive news spread, temporarily attracting everyone's attention. The news is that the second rocket test launch is about to begin - at six o'clock tomorrow morning, just before sunrise.
When the sun just rose in the morning, the sky and the earth were already bright enough, but not dazzling.
The countdown to the second rocket test launch has already attracted too many people. Countless people have gathered in the valley of Beidou Mountain.
The first rocket test launch, because there was a so-called comprehension conference, so there were many people.
But now this second rocket test launch, there are more people!
Because Li Xian said that an aircraft should be used to send people to the fairy world, so there is rocket technology. Because the rocket "grazed the sky" last time, more people came to watch!
The "people" watching around are full of powerful auras. Looking around, they are either at the Nascent Soul Stage or the Golden Core Stage, and it is almost impossible to find those below the Foundation Establishment Stage-they can't squeeze in. There were even more than a dozen masters at the stage of transforming gods with strong auras.
These masters of the transformation stage all came to grab positions in the middle of the night.
There is never a shortage of masters in the folk!
Not only that, but there is even a special area, where the Bailing Group has grabbed a position. There are more than ten monster clans there, and more than ten monster clans are either in the Nascent Soul stage or at the height of the God Transformation stage.
The reason why the Yaozu came to wait and see this time was also a deal between the Kingdom of Shang and the Yaozu. The "Evil Dragon Secret Realm" discovered by the Yaozu allowed people from the Shang Kingdom to go there.
The sky was still gray, so Li Xian took Xia Qingqing to the launch site. Of course, this time there are people from Zhao Guo following him. But this does not prevent Li Xian and Xia Qingqing from loving each other.
Zhao Ming, the crown prince of the Zhao Kingdom, still focused on 'watching the fun'; but Ji Buxian, the secretary of Zhao Guozhong, went to 'watch the doorway'. Ji Buxian also has a certain understanding of rocket technology after studying here for so long in the Kingdom of Shang, and having had a lot of exchanges with Li Xian, Xu Ren and others.
First of all, the cost is extremely high. The last rocket test, just the rocket launch itself, consumed a total of more than 20 million taels of gold. But this time, almost 30 million taels of gold had been consumed. This price is still the cost price, not including the input of manpower and material resources. Actually double the price! Maybe several flips!
Such an experiment, the average country really can't afford it.
Secondly, rocket technology is extremely high, and rocket technology is the jewel in the possession and technology of Shang Kingdom!
Third, rockets are very dangerous. This thing can send people to the fairyland "in the future"; but "now", rockets can already carry explosives for long-range attacks. The missiles Shang Kingdom has already mounted are the technological achievements after the last rocket test.
All the best technologies will always be first applied to the military!
In Ji Buxian's thoughts, Li Xian and his party came to the enclosed space in the valley. Here, Ji Buxian saw the launch base of Shang Kingdom for the first time.
Rows of obviously very advanced computers have been working for a long time, and all kinds of changing picture data are displayed on the huge screen. Ji Buxian, a master in the Nascent Soul stage, is also dazzled by seeing it.
There are many lines and formations on the scene. At first glance, one might think it is the cave of a certain special immortal. It can only be said that it is too advanced, and everything is too strange.
A large number of staff members are already busy; a confident, but only delicate woman directs everyone to be busy. All the conversations were filled with unfamiliar technical words.
The nearly column-free steel and glass hall is spacious and bright. In front of the hall, farther away is the rocket launch platform. There was still nothing on the platform; but the huge launcher caught Ji Buxian's attention.
It has been more than half a year since the last rocket launch; in half a year, the rocket launch platform in front of me has also been replaced. The rocket launch platform in front of me is more than 70 meters high, surrounded by countless formations and other protections. Below, there is a deep pool; the pool is very deep because it is already a little dark green.
At this moment, Ji Buxian suddenly saw a black shadow appearing in the distant sky. Looking around, it was a huge flying platform flying out of the mountains.
What kind of flying platform is that? It has a length of more than 50 meters and a width of more than 30 meters, flying like a small world. Above this small world, there is a huge, white columnar object. It is like a falling Great Wall.
The huge aircraft was silent, but seeing this huge "artifact of war", all the audience gasped.
Some people who watched the rocket test last time exclaimed even more, "The aircraft that transported the rocket last time was only three meters wide and more than 20 meters long; now it has a width of more than 30 meters and a length of more than 50 meters." .This... so fast development speed!"
"That rocket is really big! Last time the rocket was only 70 centimeters in diameter and 20 meters long. The current rocket is probably two and a half meters in diameter and 50 meters long!"
It seems that the Kingdom of Shang didn't just say it casually, and really wants to create a flying machine that can send people directly to the fairy world! "
"Let's join the Shang Kingdom." Finally, someone couldn't help it.
"Yes, we joined the Kingdom of Shang. Join the Kingdom of Shang now so that we can receive special care later."
Amid the discussions among the crowd, and under Ji Buxian's astonished eyes, the aircraft slowly landed next to the rocket launch platform; two masters of the transformation stage who had been prepared for a long time took action, lifted the rocket up with magic, and placed it carefully on the launch platform. on the platform.
That's right, in the scientific research team of the Kingdom of Shang, masters of the transformation into gods began to appear. These people did not cultivate themselves, but were rewarded by Li Xian. Shang Kingdom has more and more luck, and Li Xian has never been stingy with rewards. As long as you make enough contributions, you will naturally be rewarded.
It is conceivable that the appearance of two young masters of the God Transformation stage gave the Shang Kingdom a powerful halo.
Seeing this situation, Ji Buxian sighed deeply in his heart, "Shang Kingdom is showing its fists! Although this is a public rocket test, it is not a display of Shang Kingdom's strength."
The countdown starts, and the sky and the earth appear a blush of the rising sun; when the blush fades and the sky and the earth are clear, it is the moment for the rocket to launch.
The mountain wind howled, everyone was quiet, and no one spoke. Even the dozen or so "spectators" from the Bailing Group didn't dare to take a breath and quietly counted down the countdown.
The rocket has been adjusted, and the on-site personnel have been evacuated; the sound of the countdown, echoing in the valley, also reminds the audience around the valley to be safe. In the event of an accident with the rocket, Shang Wangguo will not be responsible.
Looking at the towering rocket, more than fifty meters high, Ji Buxian couldn't sit still any longer. He walked to the front of the hall and stared quietly in a trance.
On the rocket, it is no longer "Anyang Aerospace", but "Shang Kingdom Aerospace".
As for why it is "spaceflight" and not "flying", Ji Buxian doesn't care; what he cares about is this kind of rocket. Just building the current rocket is almost a miracle. There is no flaw at all up and down the rocket, it is simply the most perfect work of art in the world.
Below the rocket, there are four boosters bundled; if the rocket last time was a delicate girl, the rocket now is a fierce warrior. Just looking at the rocket in front of you, you can feel a completely different atmosphere.
Ji Buxian suddenly turned his head, "King Xian, can you introduce the basic situation of the Rockets?"
It's nothing, Li Xian is going to ask someone to come over to introduce him, he has been busy with all kinds of messy things for a while, and he doesn't know much about the current Rockets.
I don't want to be at this moment, a loud voice came, "Xiandi, brother, I'm here to see you!"
Stepping on the sound, Li Xian's eldest brother Li Liang and Li Wei walked in together.
