After the success of the Portkey, each department retained its headquarters in the lighthouse, but most of the work locations have been moved underground.
The renovation work of the lighthouse was also started at the same time. After three long alarms, the hanging areas that had been evacuated were all unchained.
The rumble of falling to the ground resounded throughout the valley, and many people stood on the ground at the entrance to the underground city, staring blankly at this scene.
"We can't go back, can we?"
The wife's voice was sad,
The husband withdrew his gaze and looked at her tenderly,
"It's not that we can't go back, it's that we have a new home."
"We will get better and better, until one day we can return to life on the ground again!"
The couple said goodbye to the past and walked hand in hand into the gate of the dungeon.
on the lighthouse,
Linn watched this scene, then turned around,
Said to Jessica next to her:
"Let's get started with a complete makeover of the lighthouse."
"Yes, sir!"
…
Several construction teams started at the same time, starting from the outer ring, removing any excess, reinforcing and sealing all doors and windows, and sealing and frostproofing all exposed parts and pipes.
To ensure that the lighthouse can stay stably and continuously at an altitude of 400 kilometers, the first requirement is to be able to withstand the low temperature outside the atmosphere and ensure that all instruments will not be damaged due to low temperature.
The second thing is to seal well and not become a "hedgehog" with air leakage everywhere.
The third is to do a good job of internal air circulation.
As long as these basic modifications are completed, high-altitude testing can slowly begin.
Only after several tests, problems were discovered and problems were solved, the lighthouse was completely transformed and truly became a "space city" that can be lifted directly from the ground to space.
The transformation was in full swing, but Lin En did not pay much attention to it. His main focus was still on the swirling passage.
The navigation control room is still the place he must go to every day, and every time he goes there, he has to sit on the command chair in Jingnan for several hours.
This made Jing Nan feel helpless. She rubbed her numb calf and glared fiercely at Lin En's leaving figure.
Then she seriously considered whether to change to a pair of flat shoes. After all, standing in high heels for several hours every day was really torture for her feet.
Lin En was waiting for the formation of a huge fishy whirlpool while watching the lighthouse being renovated day by day.
A month later, the formation of fishy swirls became more and more intensive, from once every seven or eight days to once every two or three days.
And now, it can be detected several times almost every day!
Just like a countdown light, it flashes faster and faster, faster and faster!
Lin En could clearly feel that without Bai Yuekui's reminder.
The time is almost up!
…
"Lord City Lord!"
Jessica stood upright in front of Linn and introduced to him the progress of the lighthouse's renovation in earnest.
"The transformation of the lighthouse has been initially completed. The first high-altitude test will be carried out tomorrow. The mission goal is to rise to the Karman line of 100 kilometers above the ground and stay safely for one and a half hours."
"The altitude of one hundred kilometers belongs to the ionosphere, and the air is extremely thin. It can already be regarded as the edge of entering space. Only by completing this test can the lighthouse consider a higher space station orbit."
Lin En listened carefully, with a serious expression, nodding from time to time.
He seemed to be really listening to the report,
But Jessica was so familiar with him that she suddenly asked, "Do my legs look good?"
"nice!"
Linn nodded immediately, so honest!
Jessica squinted her eyes and smiled charmingly: "Want to see something better?"
"Want to see it!"
Nodding repeatedly...
"Goose goose" Jessica said with a smile: "If tomorrow's experiment is completed successfully, I can promise you!"
Lin Ent stood up suddenly,
"It must be okay!"
"Notify each department, be sure to take it seriously, check it again and again, and make sure you never bring any problems to heaven!"
The expression is extremely solemn!
The next day, Linn gave the order and began to slowly take off.
"The altitude is 3,000 meters, everything is normal."
"The altitude is 5,000 meters, the normal limit altitude, everything is normal."
"The altitude is 8,000 meters and the air pressure is normal."
Only the announcer's voice sounded in the navigation control room.
Jing Nan on the stage was pacing back and forth a little anxiously.
The lighthouse has broken the previous record!
Further up, every meter is a record.
She really couldn't sit still and had nowhere to do anything...
On the seat behind her, Old God Lin En sat comfortably, his eyes swaying from side to side following the figure in front of him.
"The altitude is ten kilometers and the posture is normal."
At this time, the sky outside was clear and dazzling blue, and the horizon could be seen very far away.
"The altitude is 20 kilometers, everything is normal."
The blue outside is getting darker and darker, even getting darker.
"The altitude is fifty kilometers, everything is normal."
Everyone can clearly see the boundary between the universe and the horizon before their eyes.
Below the dividing line is the blue sky, and above is the deep and dark universe!
"The altitude is one hundred kilometers, the attitude is normal, the air pressure is normal, the oxygen content is normal, and the trajectory is correct!"
"We succeeded!"
As soon as the announcer's trembling voice finished, the hall burst into applause and cheers.
Jing Nan, who had been nervous all the way, let out a long sigh, softened his feet, and sat down habitually.
It was so hard that it just happened to be on Lin En's lap.
Lin En blinked, looked at Jing Nan's panicked face and sighed,
"Commander Jingnan, are you taking advantage of me?"
Jingnan's face turned red quickly, she stood up in a flash, and stepped on Lin En hard with her flat shoes!
Then he pretended to be shocked and looked at the scenery outside.
One hundred kilometers above the ground, this is the famous Karman Line, which is usually considered the boundary between the atmosphere and space.
Looking down from here, you can see the blue earth and patches of white clouds. The earth is as blue as a bright pearl, and it is so beautiful that it seems unreal!
Looking in the distance, the horizon is a curved arc, and the atmosphere is just such a thin layer, glowing bright blue, surrounding the earth like a belt of light.
As the light band went up, it quickly fell into darkness.
The lighthouse is under the sun's rays, and the universe seen at this time is dark under the cover of the sun, and almost no stars can be seen.
“The power generation rate of the solar array has increased threefold,” Jessica reported happily: “We don’t need to consume any energy here, and we can’t even use up the electricity generated by the solar energy, and we can also store part of it. It’s simply
It’s like recharging your batteries!”
Without the filtering of the atmosphere, the solar energy absorption efficiency under direct sunlight is greatly increased. This result is indeed a reasonable surprise.
Everyone was busy recording various data and checking the conditions of the lighthouse. Twenty minutes later, the lighthouse turned to the back of the earth.
