Free Web NovelChapter 1271: Chapter 611 The Space Shuttle Experiment Was Announced!_1
Under the perspective of the TV cameras, the gigantic antigravity propulsion unit shot up from the ground, like an enormous UFO surging towards the sky.
Unlike rocket propulsors, the antigravity propulsor’s acceleration wasn’t that fast; beneath it, there were neither intense flames nor smoke. The scene looked like something out of a sci-fi movie, leaving everyone utterly amazed.
The broadcast was globally live and simultaneous, utilizing Spatial Connection Technology without any delay.
The whole world started discussing it, "This huge propulsor is simply too impressive; I can only think of the massive UFOs in movies."
"It’s like an alien spaceship, mysteriously rising straight up from the ground, it’s unknown what technology it uses."
"This is truly astonishing; I never thought I’d see such a scene one day, and not in a movie, but in reality."
"I saw reports always saying that the Institute of Mechanics’s antigravity technology had almost reached the top level, even hopeful of surpassing it, but now I understand that what they said was just like farting."
"Stinks to high heaven! Pure fantasy. Does the Institute of Mechanics know anything about such a huge antigravity propulsor? They can’t even make a small one."
"Now looking at this antigravity propulsor, their technology is decades ahead of other institutions!"
Everyone was deeply shocked.
Though the acceleration of the antigravity propulsor didn’t match that of a rocket propulsor, its speed wasn’t slow at all; the massive ’UFO’ soon became a tiny black dot in the sky.
In fact, the initial acceleration of the antigravity propulsor was more than twice slower than that of a rocket propulsor, but due to its stable power output, as it ascended higher and Earth’s gravity lessened, its acceleration continuously increased, picking up speed more and more rapidly.
In other words, the antigravity propulsor’s acceleration was faster in the later stages, and it could reach a top speed about twice as high as that of a rocket propulsor.
At a height of one hundred kilometers, the antigravity propulsor’s acceleration finally stabilized, but it continued to accelerate non-stop; at a spaceheight of two hundred kilometers, the antigravity propulsor significantly reduced its power to keep the speed stable.
This approach was to maintain stability and reduce energy consumption.
When the antigravity propulsor reached a height of 300 kilometers, most of its propelling devices were switched off.
The staff inside the propulsor began to fine-tune the speed and trajectory to ensure that the propulsor would complete its mission successfully.
The process from the antigravity propulsor’s liftoff to its nearing the space station took about half an hour, roughly the same as that required by a large rocket propulsion unit.
The TV cameras continuously focused on the antigravity propulsor, whose performance shocked everyone.
"In my view, given this performance, going to the Moon with this propulsor would be easy."
"If it can go to space, going to the Moon shouldn’t be a big problem."
"Don’t forget that there are pilots on board, and not just one; this propulsor will also return to Earth. This is a super-sized space plane, and I believe it carries enough energy to support a lunar mission."
Indeed it was so.
It was like a very professional commentary. As long as one can escape Earth’s gravitational pull and reach space, there would be no technical barriers to reaching the Moon.
It’s not about distance.
Any device ascending to space relies mostly on gravity and inertia to travel to the Moon, not solely on its own energy. The energy consumed from the Earth to space far exceeds that from space to the Moon.
With precise calculations and the device’s capacity to withstand the risks of space, a safe landing on the Moon could be ensured.
The process of the antigravity propulsor reaching the space station was somewhat lengthy.
While continuously waiting, many people kept discussing it.
The live television broadcast did the same.
The presenter kept introducing, but somewhat awkwardly, he still didn’t know what the super experiment was, so he couldn’t discuss it accordingly. freeweɓnøvel.com
He even speculated, "Could the super experiment be the large antigravity propulsor launching? Or the docking with the space station?"
"That shouldn’t be right?"
Because the large antigravity propulsor had already executed a mission before, which was to send the space station into space.
At that time, the large antigravity propulsor didn’t appear on television screens; what everyone saw was the space station arriving directly in space.
This explanation seemed feasible, but it still felt odd.
Finally, when the antigravity propulsor neared the space station, the visual completely changed to the view of space, and more people got excited, especially the professionals who were unclear on how the antigravity propulsor would dock with the space station.
The two seemed incapable of docking.
What followed in the footage completely astounded them.
With a bold move, as the antigravity propulsor neared the space station, it aligned itself parallel to the station, slowly approached, and directly merged. freewēbnoveℓ.com
The entire process could be understood as the space station landing directly on the platform provided by the antigravity propulsor, with the two gigantic devices overlapping.
All the footage then switched to the platform atop the antigravity propulsor, where several astronauts came out, activated devices to secure the space station, and then the space station’s airlock opened, and three astronauts who had worked for about a hundred days emerged.
