Survival of the Star Sea: Starting from a small broken ship and becoming stronger

Chapter 220 Takeoff～【4000】

As the [Conqueror] slowly descended towards the surface of the planet, the slowly growing hull indicated that the preparations were drawing to a close.

After 2 hours, the personnel were ready, and Beta handed over the control of the airport to the [Conqueror] optical brain.

"Ding! The personnel strengthening is complete..."

"Engine fuel filled."

"The engine cooling system is working fine."

"The control of the floating airport is being accessed...the access is complete."

"The airport is starting the floating system, the current height is 10 meters... 100 meters... 1000 meters."

"The current altitude of the airport is 5000 meters, and it is currently reaching the limit altitude."

"Reconfirm the preparations of the personnel inside the airport... The preparations are complete, and the launch steps can continue."

"The surface shield system has been activated."

"Oxidizer injected into combustor, fuel injected into combustor, countdown to launch.. 10, 9, 8"

"3, 2, 1, ignition."

With the end of the countdown, dozens of flames with a diameter of one hundred meters were ejected from the tail of the airport floating in mid-air.

As the injection speed of fuel and oxidant into the combustion chamber increases step by step, the length of the tail flame increases from tens of meters at the beginning to hundreds of meters at once. . .thousands of meters.

I saw that the flames were like a boxer swinging a heavy fist, quickly and violently hitting the surface of the planet below.

And the crackling sound of the air tearing, resounding through the heavens and the earth like the howl of the opponent.

Under the action of this powerful thrust, as if cheering for victory, the main structural components in the airport also let out a dull "growl".

. . .

"The engine is running normally, the thrust is normal, the airport is raising the altitude..."

"The current altitude is 5500 meters, 6000 meters, 7000..."

"Fuel consumption is 99%, oxidant consumption is 99.5%"

Staring at the messages uploaded from the big screen, Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes, and at this moment he suddenly activated the megaton level of thought power.

I saw invisible tentacles of thought power gushing out from his limbs and bones, first wrapping the [Conqueror] tightly, and then entangled towards the airport below.

The purpose of doing this is mainly to ensure that when he exerts force next, the force can be evenly applied to every part of the ship.

In case of uneven force, the hull will explode.

As the tentacles of thought power spanned a distance of 16000 meters, they quickly wrapped up the airport that was trying to climb upwards.

In the next second, hundreds of millions of tons of pulling force slowly acted on the airport.

At the same time, the corresponding reaction force also fell on the hull of [Conqueror].

First 10 tons, then 100 million tons, 1 million tons, 1 million, 10 billion. . . 1 billion tons.

The shipboard intelligence brain, which had already been prepared in advance, had already started to adjust the power of the anti-gravity system synchronously when the ship body was under tension.

Of course, an anti-gravity system alone is definitely not enough, and the thrust reverser engine on the belly of the battleship is also at full capacity at this time.

But the good times didn't last long. Just when Zhao Feng outputted his thought power to 1100 billion tons, the battleship intelligence brain issued a warning.

"Warning! Warning! Insufficient lift of the battleship, insufficient lift of the battleship,"

Listening to Zhinao's voice, Zhao Feng frowned, and at the same time withdrew part of his thought force slightly, allowing the pulling force to return to 1000 billion tons.

At the same time as he adjusted the output of thought power, the alarm sound stopped abruptly.

'Okay, then pull it like this first'

This is also something that can’t be helped, and now [Conqueror] and [Floating Airport] are in a relatively vertical position one after the other.

If [Conqueror] stood up directly and started the main engine, it would indeed be able to fully utilize the 10 megatons of thought power.

But if they do that, the airport will also face the scorching flames of the [-]-meter-long warship's tail.

Obviously this is not desirable.

And there is no need to rush to do that, after all, the external engine of the airport is still online at this time.

Even with only [-] billion tons of pulling force, the speed of its climb is still several times faster than at the beginning.

At this time, regardless of how unreasonable the aerodynamic structure of the airport is, with the blessing of the laser wind breaking system, its wind resistance is directly forcibly reduced to the minimum.

Coupled with such an operation of pulling forward and pushing back, the acceleration of gravity is as if it has been beaten with chicken blood, from about 6G to 19G abruptly.

Converted down, it is an acceleration of 192 meters per second.

Intuitively, it is Mach 2 in 1 seconds and Mach 4 in 2 seconds.

This speed is much faster.

The 3-8G acceleration of the launch vehicle is simply incomparable~
Of course, Zhao Feng also wanted to save some effort and launch it to the airport in the way of a carrier rocket.

However, all values ​​related to launch, such as self-weight, fuel consumption, thrust-to-weight ratio, etc., are calculated by the optical brain until the end, all point to a result.

"Crash."

Even if the engine is several times larger and modified to the limit, it is impossible to launch successfully.

Because with Zhao Feng's existing engine technology, its engine capability is almost certain.

Of course you can add an engine, but the space for the engine is limited.

In addition, bigger and more engines also require more fuel.

In the case that the self-weight does not decrease but increases, it needs a longer acceleration to push the airport to fly up.

And longer acceleration requires more fuel.

More fuel makes the airport heavier.

The heavier the engine, the more it needs to be added. . .

This repetition is almost an endless loop.

Therefore, while ensuring the thrust, an upward force must be added to bring greater acceleration.

In this way, before the fuel is exhausted, the airport can be launched into a low-earth orbit that is less affected by the planet's gravity.

It is also because of this that he will use [Conqueror] to pull the airport up and fly up.

At this time, as the altitude continued to rise, the airport soon reached the planet's stratosphere, which is an altitude of 55000 meters.

"Ding! The current altitude has broken through the stratosphere, and the current fuel remaining is 70%, and the oxidizer remaining is 73.5%."

Listening to the real-time report from the optical brain, Zhao Feng didn't particularly care about it.

Then, with a thought, the holographic screen in front of him switched directly to the images of everyone in the airport.

I saw a building filled with layers and rows of safety seats.

At this time, the seats were full of legion members.

Everyone has fastened their seat belts, and the body is constantly fine-tuning the angle under the control of the system to keep the players perpendicular to the direction of acceleration, so as to avoid unnecessary loss of personnel and injuries.

With such a scene and such an environment, the seeds of fear unknowingly germinated in the hearts of the legion members.

Of course, if left unchecked, the seed will turn into a vine that grows wildly and brings riot.

But if carefully guided, it will happen a completely different situation.

Fear will be the fertilizer. . .

And this is exactly the case now, I saw the members of the legion sitting together unconsciously holding each other's hands.

The members who were hostile in the past also let go of their grudges at this time.

Consolation, trust, and silent blessings spread silently at this moment.

An indescribable sense of faith broke out in everyone's hearts.

Looking at everyone's performance, although Zhao Feng didn't say anything, there was still a look of approval in his eyes.

'That's right. . . '

Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhao Feng moved the camera and focused on observing the conditions of those old people and children.

After confirming that no accident happened to them, they were relieved and switched the information on the holographic screen back to the monitoring screen of the attitude of the airport.

As the altitude continued to climb, the battleship and the airport soon passed through the middle layer and reached an altitude of 85000 meters.

At this time, the planet's gravity displayed on the optical brain began to slowly decrease.

However, the fuel consumption rate has not decreased but increased, at double the speed, it has dropped below 50%.

The reason why the fuel consumption has doubled is mainly because the shipboard optical brain began to fine-tune the flight angle of the airport.

The optical brain adjusted the angle, and at the same time Zhao Feng also controlled the battleship to change the angle, from the initial vertical pull to oblique flight.

In this way, the wind resistance increases slightly, and part of the pulling force is lost, so the engine has to increase fuel consumption to stabilize the thrust.

When the adjustment with the hull is completed, the hull in the semi-vertical state can start the main engine for assistance.

The pull that can be provided will also increase exponentially.

Of course, he still can't fully start the engine, and the angle of deflection is now between 5°-15°.

If the engine is fully open, even at some angles, the tail flame will still cause great harm.

The laser wind breaking device can break the wind, but it can't break the temperature.

The thousands of degrees of high temperature penetrated through, and everything would definitely be burned.

In fact, it is not a big deal if the laser wind breaking device burns out. After all, the air at this altitude is already very thin, and the wind resistance is not very great.

But if the outer armor of the airport is burned down, it will be over!

. . .

The main engine can't output at full strength, but the thrust brought by the main engine is much stronger than the auxiliary engine in the belly of the ship.

The pulling force has increased from 1000 billion tons to 5000 billion tons.

As the flight continues, it arrives at the ionosphere of the planet. In the ionosphere at an altitude of hundreds of thousands of meters, because gas molecules are ionized by solar radiation, a plasma layer is formed, which has a great impact on radio waves.

Rockets or return capsules in the Earth era were basically unable to communicate when passing through the ionosphere.

But this is not a problem at all for the battlecruiser [Conqueror] with quantum communication.

I didn't even feel the slightest impact, let alone affect the control of the ship's optical brain.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters. . .

The flight angle of the airport has gradually changed to 60°.

At this time [Conqueror] was finally able to exert its full power, the output of the main engine increased step by step, and the 10 megatons of thought power almost completely acted on the airport.

When reaching an altitude of 15 meters, as the last bit of fuel was consumed, the external engine automatically went offline and left the airport according to the procedure.

At this time, the [Conqueror], who was in front of the "carriage" pulling the airport forward, took over the next task.

With a pulling force of 10 megatons, it is not too simple to fly with the airport in an environment where the gravity is almost halved.

And as the airport reaches an altitude of 20 meters, it has actually entered outer space.

20 meters, or a height of 200 kilometers.

The height of the space station in the Earth period was only 408 kilometers.

At this time, after adjustment, the [Cosmic Dockyard], which has arrived 500 kilometers away from the planet, is quietly waiting for the arrival of the main base.

At this time in the airport, everyone was surprised to find that the pressure on their bodies disappeared completely at some point. Of course, the pressure disappeared together with the gravity of the planet.

Everyone's legs and feet floated up involuntarily.

After detecting this situation, the airport brain automatically turned on the gravity system.

"Ding! Please pay attention, the gravity system is activated, please do not forcibly unfasten the seat belt."

The reminder sounded 3 times in a row.

And as the artificial gravity system was charged online, accompanied by a brief vibration and buzzing, everyone in the airport felt that the gravity had returned to normal.

The floating legs and feet also slowly fell down.

"The gravity field is operating normally, and the gravity value has returned to standard."

"Ding, this voyage has ended perfectly, and the seat belt buckle has been unlocked."

The sound of the broadcast reached everyone's ears, and at the same time, the seat belts fastened on everyone's bodies also made a crisp click.

The red light, which previously represented a lock, now also turned into a green unlocked light.

Outside, Zhao Feng also disconnected the thought power tentacles with the airport.

At this time, the airport is relying on inertia, moving towards the predetermined area.

After about 20 minutes, you can reach the airspace where the dock is located.

Next, the floating airport does not require Zhao Feng to interfere with its operation too much.

Although the airport cannot fly into space by its own ability, it fully meets the basic requirements of space life.

As for movement, it can lock the surrounding massive celestial bodies through a superconducting magnetic field, and then pull itself over.

Similarly, superconducting magnetic field can also be used to generate repulsive force to decelerate.

But the speed, if it is as slow as death, it is a compliment.

However, the cosmic environment has enough room for acceleration, so it doesn’t matter if it’s slower.

Now Zhao Feng has released the control of the airport and handed it over to Beta again.

And she was controlling the airport at this time, slowly slowing down.

Finally, the airport will be docked next to the dock at just the right speed.

In the airport, after a brief cheer, the legion members resumed their respective tasks.

According to their talents and attributes, everyone moved in an orderly manner, decomposing resources, learning frigate driving, marine training, and shipboard crew training.

Part of the scientific research personnel is going to accelerate technology, and the other part is responsible for teaching the children.

No one is lazy, and no one slacks.

After all, everyone has experienced all kinds of crises, such as the tide of corpses, the tide of beasts, and the lizardmen are okay. He can deal with these man-made disasters like Zhao Feng.

And things like tsunamis, low temperature, and big storms are simply resigned to fate.

Everyone knows in their hearts how difficult it is to survive in this world.

In order to protect the hard-won stable life now, everyone is working hard to improve themselves.

. . .

The members of the legion were fighting for the future, and Zhao Feng also did not stop for a moment.

He connected the surrounding "underground city", "resource mountain", [space dock], [underground airport] and other buildings through giant steel cables.

Considering that he is currently in a space environment, and in order to avoid the outbreak of the solar wind, he will drag his property to the back of the RTX12.G 100 light seconds away within 4090 hours.

Rely on the magnetic field of that planet and the planet itself to avoid more than 99% of the threat of stellar wind.
