The Strait Space Base was officially completed and put into use.
In the northwest of the Eurasian continent, a large launch vehicle is erected on the launch pad. Although it is already June, the temperature at the launch site is still only about 26 degrees Celsius.
A large number of staff are busy with the launch work. The Strieberg used a large number of modular parts and the lowest-cost manufacturing materials, and with the best efforts of the Shinra Federation, three missiles were built.
Vasily Alexander is standing in the building on the side of the launch tower. Opposite him are 15 robots, and they are the kind of robots that abandon human bodies.
"We don't want war, but we have no other choice. For the survival of the HRE Federation and the continuation of everyone, I leave everything to you."
"Please rest assured, Supreme Commander, we will open up a new future for the Shinra Federation." 15 transfer people shouted in unison.
Vasily opened his hands and shouted loudly: "May the human spirit last forever, and may the glory of Shinra last forever."
"May the human spirit last forever, and may the glory of Shinra last forever." The turnaround man also shouted loudly.
Vasily saluted the transfer passengers, who then boarded the Stelliberg.
Compared with ordinary human astronauts, the passenger cabin of the transfer crew is very simple. In addition to the cosmic ray barrier layer and the anti-electromagnetic interference layer, the remaining equipment is the cockpit equipment and 5 charging ports.
There is no complex gas circulation system, no strictly controlled constant temperature and humidity system, no need for drinking water, organic food, etc.
The only extra thing is 30 spare robot bodies, which can be replaced in case of body failure in outer space.
The transport cabin of the Strieberg launch vehicle was filled with 95 tons of materials, including a 10-ton supercomputer, which contained Vasily's split artificial intelligence.
There are also a lot of production equipment. This is a colonization spacecraft that Vasily analyzed through supercomputer calculations and combined with the technology currently owned by the Shinra Federation, allowing the spacecraft to take root on alien planets.
Since the transfer people are robots, they do not need a very large proportion of life-support capsules and equipment compared to the fragile old human astronauts, which not only saves the payload of the spacecraft, but also reduces the difficulty of building alien colonies.
Everything is ready.
At 12:13 a.m., the Strieberg launch vehicle ignited and took off. After breaking through the Karman line, the Strieberg flew to an orbit slightly higher than the International Space Station, 530 kilometers, and flew around the Blue Star.
On the one hand, it quickly replenishes fuel through the fuel storage module previously launched by Soyuz in low-Earth orbit.
While waiting for the other two Strybergs, the three Stryberg launch vehicles will form a team and head to the destination planned by the Shinra Federation.
Regarding this plan, the Shinra Federation stated to the outside world that it was to explore near-Earth asteroids, and the Illuminati and New Humanity did not pay too much attention to this.
After all, the old human body simply cannot withstand long-term survival in outer space. The Illuminati even know that there is no life-support equipment for human survival in the Strelliberg's life-support module.
The New Humanity, through the Listening Satellite, detected that there was no human life on board the Stryberg, only some supplies and equipment.
Finally on June 26th.
As the third Stelliberg launch vehicle replenished its fuel in low-Earth orbit, the operation code-named "Project Smagel" officially entered the second step of the plan.
Three Stelliberg launch vehicles formed a joint array and flew toward the more distant starry sky.
…
at the same time.
The first Huo Qubing-class space battleship was officially completed in low-Earth orbit, and the new human space force was established.
The second, third, and fourth Huo Qubing-class space battleships were also quickly built as the Strait Space Base was put into use.
…
Moon.
Copernicus crater base.
Powell put down the report and asked whether the Illuminati would stop taking action against the New Humanity and the Shinra Federation.
On the one hand, they have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the development of anti-gamma ray materials. On the other hand, the lunar headquarters has already transferred many personnel and equipment to Keton through the Saturn 8 launch vehicle.
Powell also asked the Inquisition's Lunar Fleet to deploy a large number of space mines near the impacting asteroid group.
If the new humanity's space battleship approaches a group of asteroids, these space mines will be detonated immediately, creating a large-area debris barrier and slowing down the opponent's speed.
Then directly push all the asteroids to the Blue Star. In order to increase the strategic deterrence, the size of the impacting asteroid group has increased from the previous 24 to the current 57. The Illuminati has already included the near-Earth asteroids.
All asteroids with a diameter of more than 500 meters have been pushed over.
The tense atmosphere between Blue Star and Moon is becoming more and more solemn.
In this atmosphere, the three Stryberg launch vehicles of the Shinra Federation were also rapidly moving away from Blue Star.
On one side of the three Strieberg launch vehicles, there are three small spacecraft.
Moscow Space Command Center.
"This is Moscow. The spacecraft has arrived at the predetermined orbit and can deploy its light sail."
After a delay of several minutes, in the cockpit of the three Strieberg launch vehicles, Kalinin Orlov, the leader of the Smagel team, received a communication from the Moscow Space Command Center.
"Smuggler team here, we have received it."
After finishing speaking, Kalinin adjusted the channel of the communicator: "Attention, all units, execute according to the original plan."
"receive."
"Deployment of light sail successful."
"Nuclear reaction detected."
"Isotope cell activated."
The tails of the three Strieberg launch vehicles unfolded large-area light sails like radar pot lids. The radius of the pot lid light sails reached about 18 meters.
The three accompanying small spacecraft appeared behind the three Strelliberg light sails.
"Detonate." Kalinin ordered loudly.
"yes."
The three small spacecraft instantly detonated the small hydrogen bombs inside about 30 kilometers behind the three Strybergs.
In an instant, the three tail light sails of the Strieberg were exposed to powerful light radiation, and the speed of the spacecraft increased again.
With the support of the gravitational slingshot, spacecraft engine, and nuclear explosion light radiation, the Strieberg flew toward the distant outer space of the solar system.
At this time, the speed of the Stelliberg has increased to 18 kilometers per second, and their destination is the orbit of Jupiter.
Although July has passed the period of Jupiter's opposition to the sun.
However, the shortest distance between Jupiter and Blue Star is 440 million kilometers (when Jupiter opposes the sun), and Jupiter opposes the sun every 399 days or so. The last Jupiter opposition was on April 7 this year, and the next Jupiter opposition is
May 9 next year.
In this way, Jupiter will reach opposition in 312 days. The speed of Strieberg is 18 kilometers per second, and it can fly 485222400 kilometers in 312 days. If you include the deceleration stage before approaching Jupiter, it will be just right.
You can reach Jupiter's orbit during Jupiter's opposition time.
The time and distance are just right, and you can reach the orbit of Jupiter at the shortest distance.
However, the use of nuclear explosion light radiation to accelerate is not without cost. Many parts of the spacecraft have suffered radiation damage.
There were even 8 transfer passengers who had computer problems.
For this situation, the Shinra Federation had already prepared, and people began to repair themselves and the spacecraft.
