Chapter 450: Takeoff
The mechanical arm used to fix the rocket on the launch tower slowly opened to both sides. All the work was carried out in an orderly manner under the control of the engineering robot. It was just an ancient rocket launch, which was not difficult for mechanical civilization.
"Rocket launch countdown, ignition in ten seconds, ten..."
"Nine..."
"Two..."
"One..."
"Ignition!"
A huge flame and thick smoke suddenly appeared at the bottom of the rocket. Zhang Xiaowen only felt the rocket tremble slightly, and the scenery in front of her began to move slowly. The vibration from the rocket continued. It was hard to imagine that a huge rocket was slowly taking off. Many robots on the ground were staring at the rocket that was emitting huge flames.
At the same time, many countries that paid special attention to Longguo also discovered the rocket that was taking off. What was going on? Is it still possible to launch rockets after the end of the world? For a time, most major powers began to re-evaluate the strength of Longguo.
The rocket was still accelerating, and the violent trembling made Zhang Xiaowen nervous. This is a rocket! Once the fuel inside explodes, it will be the world's largest and most expensive fireworks show. Fortunately, although it trembles violently, the rocket is indeed taking off normally. The ground is getting smaller and smaller, and the sky is dazzlingly bright. For a moment, Zhang Xiaowen regretted boarding the rocket for sightseeing. It would be much better to stay in Longshan Camp to have dinner with her parents. Why go here to find excitement...
"Rocket booster separation."
The sound of the engineering robot in the ground control center came from the headset. Zhang Xiaowen only felt the rocket tremble slightly, as if something fell off.
The four boosters of the rocket were ejected and rolled to the ground with flames. The remaining rocket continued to advance. At this time, looking outside, nothing could be seen. Zhang Xiaowen simply closed her eyes, because the huge pressure brought by the high speed pressed on her body.
"The second stage rocket separated."
There was another slight vibration. The bottom rocket was shut down and then ejected to the ground. The remaining short rocket continued to fly up with the fighter plane...
I don't know how long it took.
Zhang Xiaowen felt a lot less pressure in a daze. She didn't bother to pay attention to the professional terms that sounded from time to time in her headphones. When she opened her eyes again, she found that there was a huge arc-shaped object emitting light outside the transparent glass cockpit. Is that... the earth?
"Prepare to separate from the rocket."
The Rubik's Cube shouted, and then straightened the seat. The manipulator quickly operated on the cockpit control panel. At this time, it had entered the predetermined orbit. Many small things in the cockpit that were not fixed were floating up. Zhang Xiaowen looked at a small thing floating in front of her curiously. Weightless state? Finally went to the sky?
Bang! The fighter felt a vibration, and the mechanical bracket and mechanical arm were retracted. It separated from the rocket and began to fly alone.
Several engines of the fighter emitted light blue flames, adjusted the direction and flew towards the distant moon. After several consecutive accelerations, the engine was turned off to enter the flight state. In a vacuum environment, as long as the power is added, it will keep flying forward. Turning off the engine can also save energy.
"We are moving away from the earth. Wenzi, don't you plan to take a photo as a souvenir?" Rubik's Cube sat in front and teased.
"It's not like I won't come back, so why leave a souvenir? But it's a good idea to take a photo. I can hang it in the house to show off when I go back."
Zhang Xiaowen turned around and took a few photos directly with the video equipment of the mecha helmet. It's beautiful. Behind the sci-fi tail of the fighter plane is a beautiful blue planet. She is so beautiful that it's breathtaking. Compared with the several planets that can be seen clearly in the distance, Zhang Xiaowen finally understands why the Cube cares so much about the earth's environment. The earth is really unique...
"There are not many beautiful planets like the earth with life. Maybe there is no such beautiful planet in a galaxy. Caring for the earth is the responsibility of mankind and the mission of our mechanical civilization."
In the dark space, a sci-fi fighter is approaching the moon quickly. The sun's rays shine on the surface of the fighter and reflect dazzling light. Fortunately, the fighter has been modified to be not afraid of the high temperature and radiation under direct sunlight. It is expected to arrive at the moon in an hour.
"Wenzi, do you want to go out and play for a while?"
"Ah? What?"
Before Zhang Xiaowen could react, the mecha was suddenly debugged, and the hatch slowly opened. The hatch opened...
"Ah... Cube... You bastard..."
"Oh~ You can fly in space."
"I'm going to kill you...!"
Cube laughed evilly, and Zhang Xiaowen flew out with a rope behind her. Nothing could be heard from the headphones except Zhang Xiaowen's screams. Cube thought about it, turned on the recorder to play popular action music, and drove happily to the moon...
…………
Space travel is magical and wonderful.
Zhang Xiaowen and Du Heng came to space for the first time. The gorgeous starry sky, beautiful planets, and endless darkness, each of which can bring various novel feelings. After flying for an hour, the fighter arrived near the orbit of the moon and was hovering over the moon looking for the thing that fell on the moon.
"The moon is really... desolate. There is no Chang'e, no Guanghan Palace, and no rabbit."
Zhang Xiaowen lay on the cockpit glass and stared at the moon.
"I can build you some robots on it if you want. Strange, where is that big fallen thing?"
Fighter planes have been hovering on the moon's surface for a long time, and various detection equipment are constantly scanning the moon's surface. However, continuous searches have still failed to find the huge falling object. The Rubik's Cube will not believe that nothing will happen if such a big thing hits the moon violently. Even an intact starship would probably be severely damaged by that kind of impact fluctuation, let alone an alien civilization whose technology is not particularly advanced.
"Lower altitude, pay attention to the hills and sand, and search carefully any small craters."
Several small engines of the fighter plane emitted light blue flames, and the fighter plane was controlled to slowly lower its altitude for low-altitude search. In order to facilitate the search, the fighter plane flew upside down and close to the moon, so that the three Rubik's Cubes could also observe the moon's surface through the glass hatch above their heads.
The moon looks small, but that's actually just a personal feeling. The entire moon is very large, and it is not easy to search for a crashed spacecraft on it.
Outside the hatch, peaks, plains, and craters were passing by. Only Fighter Cube and Du Heng were searching and investigating. Zhang Xiaowen was just here to make soy sauce and screamed in a daze. The silent moon surface was completely silent. After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Xiaowen suddenly I especially miss the beautiful earth. Even if the earth is full of zombies and mutant beasts, it won’t matter. If you stay here for a long time, you will go crazy. No wonder Guanghan Palace is so deserted...
After searching for more than half an hour, we finally made a discovery.
