The small spacecraft released will circle the Earth once under the control of the command center and then continue to travel toward the space station.
To reduce energy consumption, the spacecraft mainly adjusts its direction, with velocity operating normally under inertia and angular momentum. As it approaches the space battle, the spacecraft will significantly adjust its direction and simultaneously activate the anti-gravity device to release the spatial shield.
The spacecraft is unmanned and requires continuous control from the command center, which makes the control process quite complex. Fortunately, photonic control has been developed according to Spatial Connection Technology.
The equipment onboard the spacecraft can autonomously control itself by reading colors transmitted through space.
With the aid of Spatial Connection Technology, the control from the command center will not be limited by signals and there will be no delay, enabling very precise maneuvering.
This is also one of the important technologies that ensure the successful completion of the experiment.
——
The day of the experiment.
The Aerospace Bureau’s space shuttle experiment site was open to the public, and journalists with press passes could enter, but they were not allowed to bring any equipment and could only take notes with paper and pen.
Although they couldn’t bring any devices, the live broadcast equipment was already connected, and there was no need for them to be on the scene to do anything.
This space experiment is the most watched in history, even more so than the lunar landing mission decades ago.
The entire experiment will be broadcast live without delay by fifty-one countries, also employing Spatial Connection Technology to ensure all television stations can broadcast live without any delays.
When a series of messages about the live broadcast were sent out, the international community marveled at the related technology, both the upcoming mysterious super experiment and the real-time broadcasting technology, which showcased the high-end nature of the technology.
Indeed, many institutions are interested in Spatial Connection Technology.
Directly connecting space is clearly very high-end, and can even be described as a technology of the future; these institutions have also acquired equipment based on Spatial Connection Technology.
This is also a source of frustration.
Although they have obtained equipment based on Spatial Connection Technology, they completely fail to understand its underlying principles because they lack the necessary theoretical support. It’s like ancient people having obtained a high-tech smartphone; they would be even less likely to understand how the phone operates.
Of course, the gap is not that big.
They can still mimic the technology, but without supporting theory, imitation is pointless. They say that if there is even a slight problem with the imitation device, repairing it would be impossible. Additionally, linking the devices is also a problem; they don’t know how to get two imitated devices to connect, so manufacturing the device is meaningless.
Therefore, many institutions are calling for the domestic disclosure of theories related to Spatial Connection Technology.
Clearly, that won’t happen for the time being.
Zhao Yi has no intention of making the technology public. Perhaps it might be disclosed in the future, but only if the Space Technology Company has already monopolized the information technology market, then a bit of theoretical information might be released. Otherwise, it is utterly impossible.
From any angle, disclosing theoretical information has no benefits whatsoever.
Five hours before the experiment.
The workgroup entered the final stage of preparation, with preparations nearing the experiment now less related to the space station and mainly focused on the tuning of the anti-gravity propulsion system.
The first step was to conduct a unit test on the instruments and equipment of the anti-gravity propulsion system, to check the performance of the devices and accurately measure their parameters.
After passing the unit tests, subsystem tests were conducted. Systems were tested in working status to check the operational coordination and functionality of various instruments and measure a series of working parameters.
Then came the compatibility tests and a general inspection involving all systems.
Multiple general inspections were conducted to simulate flight conditions and examine the technical performance and reliability of the anti-gravity propulsion system, ensuring that the propulsion system met the launch state requirements.
After completing a series of inspections, energy sources, equipment as well as cargo were installed into the anti-gravity propulsion system.
At the same time, a sequence of linkage tests was performed to ensure accuracy in information transmission.
Other departments also had to coordinate, such as the meteorological department, which would activate the meteorological intelligence network and weather consultation network, start up meteorological measurement radars, and begin long-, medium-, and short-term weather forecasts.
And so on.
After completing a series of tasks, the timing also reached the final half-hour mark.
At this point, one could say that the experiment was about to begin. Personnel participating in the experiment had arrived on-site, and many leaders and representatives had directly gone to the launch site of the anti-gravity propulsion system to watch the launch from a distance.
Senior leaders were also present at the command center, simply not involving themselves in any work.
Zhao Yi and the senior leaders sat together. By this point in the experiment, he no longer needed to be involved; all the work had been handed over to the relevant personnel.
But Zhao Yi was still very nervous.
This was the first time he had felt such nerves, primarily because the content of the experiment was too significant; the space shuttle experiment truly surpassed existing technological levels.
Zhao Yi was also very eager to witness the moment of space shuttle travel, which would undoubtedly be thrilling and represent a giant leap for humanity in conquering the universe.
"Today will be extremely meaningful,"
"I believe that this day will be recorded in history, and perhaps it will even be celebrated as a memorial day in the future, commemorating the official start of the cosmic era for humankind!"
Zhao Yi conversed with the senior leaders, and he couldn’t help but speak excitedly.
His words were not an exaggeration at all.
Just like the Aerospace Bureau’s approach, conquering space is not the work of one nation, but a collective effort of the entire Earth.
The international competitive landscape is complex, but what does competition on Earth matter when viewed from the perspective of the entire universe?
Only by starting the cosmic era and conquering one planet after another will competition become mainstream, and the universe is infinitely vast.
As long as the first step is taken, it will undoubtedly initiate the cosmic era.
The space shuttle experiment represents humanity’s first step out of Earth and toward the stars, a very important step.
Having acquired the technique of space shuttle travel, humankind was no longer limited by speed and could begin to step towards conquering the universe.
Of course,
speaking of ’conquering the universe’ was still premature, but there was no denying that everyone was very excited. The senior leaders appeared calm yet kept asking incessantly, "Academician Zhao, are you sure there are no issues?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Nothing will go wrong, right?"
"You’re sure we can reach the moon in ten seconds? No accidents?"
"Can it really be done? Space shuttling—up until now, I still feel like I’m dreaming—"
Zhao Yi kept assuring them firmly, "There are no problems! No issues whatsoever."
"I believe it will be a success!"
"All we need to do now is wait, and I too am very much looking forward to the moment of space shuttling."
He was indeed looking forward to it, even becoming somewhat restless.
It wasn’t just Zhao Yi; many people in the command center were becoming restless. They seemed impatient to start the experiment, constantly watching the time.
Each minute, each second, felt as long as a year.
Finally, the time arrived. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
In the live broadcast on television, the host introduced the ’mysterious super experiment’, "The Aerospace Bureau only described it as a super experiment, keeping the actual content confidential."
"We still don’t know what the specific experiment is, but it is the unknown that makes us look forward to it even more."
"The experiment is being broadcast live to 51 countries. To ensure the immediacy of the broadcast and to avoid interference with signal transmission, the Aerospace Bureau is using Spatial Connection Technology."
"This is the first time Spatial Connection Technology has been used in a television broadcast. The live feed for other television stations is obtained through spatial connection devices."
"Let’s look at the camera now taking us to the scene; what we’re seeing now is a large anti-gravity propulsion system."
In the broadcast,
a massive inverted cone-shaped device stood on the ground.
The host began to detail the performance of the anti-gravity propulsor, "This anti-gravity propulsor is the largest ever built, with a maximum load capacity of over a thousand tons, and it can transport to space over five hundred kilometers high, making it essentially a colossal space vessel."
"The transportation of the space station used this anti-gravity propulsor. After completing a significant transport task, we believe its safety factor will be even higher."
As the host continued with the introduction, the anti-gravity propulsor slowly rose.
