Chapter 196 Houston, Mecha Is Knocking On The Door!
lunar orbit.
A black rocket-shaped spaceship is slowly changing orbit.
The NASA logo above is very conspicuous.
Its tail spouts orange-red flames.
"Already entered lunar orbit."
"Proceed to third bunker separation."
Following the command of the control center.
A layer of fuel tanks at the bottom of the spaceship was slowly disconnected.
This is a traditional working medium spaceship.
After launch at Canaveral Space Center, the flight took four days.
Finally approached the destination - the moon.
More than 80% of the volume of the spaceship is loaded with liquid fuel.
Burnt-up redundant parts need to be constantly thrown away during flight.
in the cockpit.
The seven Hawk astronauts huddled together.
"Hey, didn't those scumbags from the Ministry of Science say they were researching controllable nuclear fusion last year? Why do we still have to go to the moon on a liquid rocket?!"
A brown-haired man leaned against the porthole, momentarily.
"That's right, they keep saying that they are doing it, they are doing it, and Temiao's has been doing it for more than a year, and there is no sign of it."
"Even if it's a smaller one, it's okay?!"
"People's moon base is going to be built, and we are still crowded here like a fool."
Eagle astronauts looked at the moon through the portholes.
In Ocean of Storms, that boxy city is very conspicuous.
Yanguo astronauts don't even need to wear "010" spacesuits outdoors, the weather controller will help them solve all problems.
"The Ministry of Science is really doing it! It's doing it! I went to see it, it won't take more than a year!"
"Nobody understands nuclear fusion better than me!"
The voice of a golden retriever full of vitality came from the communicator.
"You are the pride of the Eagle family. I have high hopes for you this time on the moon, gentlemen!"
"The whole Eagle Castle, no, the whole world is watching you!"
Some simple building materials are piled up in the cockpit.
According to NASA's plan, Apollo 18 will land on the far side of the moon.
Seven astronauts built a simple moon base on it to swear the Eagle family's sovereignty over the moon.
As for the project being launched in such a hurry, there is absolutely no way.
Rabbit develops too fast.
In less than a year, the lunar base has expanded more than ten times.
Under the protection of giant weather controllers, lunar agriculture and industrial systems have been established.
If we don't go up to grab some land, the whole moon will be filled with red flags.
"It's a shame... why don't we land within the range of the weather controller and save the space suits.
asked a female astronaut.
"Impossible! Eagle Castle will never admit defeat, we don't need to rely on their strength!"
The voice in the communicator was a little angry.
In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the lunar base, the Thai National Space Agency has always welcomed astronauts from various countries with an open attitude.
All spaceships can land near the moon base and enjoy the shelter of the weather controller.
Even countries with relatively friendly relations allow them to stay in the base for a few days.
Of course, the premise is that it is limited to scientific research work, and no attempt to establish a permanent territory on the moon is allowed.
NASA's ambitions obviously don't stop there.
Anyway, it's a first world country.
What is going to the moon under the protection of Yan Kingdom?!
Even if you climb, you have to climb to the moon, build a small base, and then plant the Stars and Stripes on it.
"Come on, gentlemen, the great revival of the family depends on you!!"
"Seven billion people around the world are watching your great journey!"
The eagle is in the control room of NASA, constantly beating the astronauts.
His eloquence in speech is indeed more than one notch better than that of Rare Sect.
"Seven billion farts...I don't believe that Yanguo Space Agency is interested in watching our performance."
"They have built anti-gravity spaceships, do you still have time to watch liquid fuel rockets land on the moon?"
The leading astronaut pouted.
"Uh, they should still pay attention to us."
As he said that, an unfamiliar signal was connected to the communication.
"This is Yanguo Moon Base, I have detected that you are changing orbit over our base, please tell me your intentions.
"We are going to land on the far side of the moon and will not disturb you."
The leader eagle answered hastily.
There is an electromagnetic turret near the Yanguo base, so don't be treated as an invader and have fun.
"Oh, it's all right, take care."
"Control the spaceship carefully, don't get out of control and fall down and hit our building."
On the other side, he muttered a few more words quietly.
"Meow, NASA's rocket is twisted. My second uncle can drive more steadily than him in a wheelchair and drink a catty of Erguotou. I thought it was a suicide rocket..."
"Gah!!!"
The head of NASA was incompetent and furious at the behavior of its own moon landing spacecraft that was evaluated as a suicide rocket.
"We're taking seven people to the moon! And building materials! It's pretty good to drive like this, okay?!"
"You can do what you want, how can I bring so many things on the liquid fuel bucket?!"
The other employees also looked embarrassed. It is already remarkable that they sent people up with limited technology.
"None of my shit, we're using an anti-gravity ship."
The staff in the moon base hung up the communication after saying a word.
"FXXK!!!
Everyone in NASA broke the defense in an instant.
Eagle's characteristic foul language echoed in the aerospace control hall.
"Call the Ministry of Science, and get out controllable nuclear fusion and anti-gravity for me by the end of this year! Otherwise, all the hell out of here!!"
The golden-haired eagle roared.
Fifteen minutes later.
The adjutant walked up to him and saluted, and handed over a stack of faxed documents.
"Report! The Minister of Science, the Deputy Minister and more than two dozen technicians have resigned! Here is the resignation."
"WTF?!!..."
the other side.
Essex followed Chen Lu into the cockpit.
"Commander, what should I do?"
She stood at attention like a soldier, waiting for Chen Lu's instructions.
"Get in the driver's seat and let me know if you can't hold on.
"We're also going to do aeronautical mobility tests."
Chen Lu pointed to the driving position of the pistil.
In addition to its powerful ground combat capabilities, Strelitzia also has air and space mobility similar to starships.
"clear!"
Essex answered sharply.
boom--
Strelitzia started up again.
This time the power coming from his hands is stronger than when He Zhaohe was driving.
The six propellers behind it shoot out colorful lights.
"The Strelitzia's long-range mobility is weaker than that of the Wannian Yandi, but its explosive power is stronger."
"After all, she is a combat weapon, not a spaceship."
The chief engineer said.
in a blink.
This mech flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Suspended in the orbit of the near moon, surrounded by stars.
"I barely feel acceleration and overload?"
The two people in the cab were a little surprised.
"Yes, Strelitzia has an overload adaptive device inside, and your physical fitness is strong enough, the overload will not affect you."
Chen Lu glanced at the holographic interface in front of him.
Under full propulsion, Strelitzia can accelerate to one percent of the speed of light within 5 seconds.
And it can maintain the limit speed for about 10 minutes.
The air raid speed of 3,000 kilometers per second,
Driving a Strelitzia from Earth to the Moon takes no more than five minutes.
"It will take about half a month for Wannian Yandi to accelerate to 1% of the speed of light in a vacuum, but I can keep sailing at that speed..."
Chen Lu reckoned..0
The acceleration of a starship is a slow process, especially the Wannian Yandi is not good at speed.
Strelitzia's explosive speed is more suitable for short-term combat, and interstellar exploration still depends on starships.
After debugging.
The mecha enters the cruising state.
Fly at regular speed over the Moon.
It is a novel experience for both Chen Lu and Essex to drive a mech into space.
"Well... it's a bit crowded in here, and it's not comfortable enough to drive."
Essex also complained.
"Yo, isn't that NA$A's rocket?"
Cruised for a few minutes.
Chen Lu glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
In the distant orbit, Apollo 18 is adjusting its attitude and seems to want to land.
buzz
Strelitzia leaned over, spraying plasma.
"Let me know what NASA has come up with..."
"It's been more than a year. Has your technology improved?"
Chen Lu looked at the big rocket in front of him curiously.
It stands to reason that it has been a while since the Ying family's strategy has shrunk and shifted its focus to scientific research.
Even if you can't do nuclear fusion, you should be able to figure out something new.
"Why does it look like a liquid rocket? You have quite a lot of things."
In space, the mecha flew around Apollo 18 a few times, seeing its structure completely.
"Huh? Seven astronauts? A little more than last time."
From the outside of the transparent porthole, Chen Lu saw the crowded Yingjia astronauts inside.
The manipulator knocked on the bulkhead, and waved to say hello with a teasing expression.
"Hello? Friends of Fort Eagle, welcome to the moon.
"Do you need me to provide you with a quick landing service?"
at the same time.
The astronauts in the spaceship trembled with fear.
Huddled in the cockpit.
They saw a giant mecha in red, floating out the porthole and watching them!
This weird mech actually had an expression on it, and his eyes swept across the cockpit.
"GOD! What the hell is this?! We met aliens?!"
"Be careful! NASA's spicy chicken cabin is not very strong! Don't break it!"
It's hard to imagine the expression of an astronaut who was staring at the stars in a daze, suddenly discovering that there is an extra mecha brain with 2.8 bags in front of him.
Everyone felt like goblins being watched by a titan.
As long as that mech exerts a little force, the spaceship will be torn apart.
"What is Quick Landing Service?"
One person dared to ask.
"It's just that I hold your spacecraft and hit the surface of the moon directly. You can experience the feeling of accelerating to 200km/s in 3 seconds, isn't it great?"
"However, there is no guarantee that the spacecraft will be intact and the crew will survive."
Chen Lu's voice came from the communication channel.
He didn't have any malice towards the astronauts, he just wanted to tease them for fun.
"scare?!"
The astronaut inside broke out in a cold sweat.
"Call Apollo 18, call Apollo 18.
"The external monitoring of the spaceship was blocked by something, please report your situation, what happened?!"
The ground control tower asked eagerly.
When Strelitzia approached, the plasma jets in the thrusters just blocked the spacecraft's monitoring equipment.
NASA's ground console view becomes distorted.
"Houston!! We are in trouble!!!"
The leading astronaut grabbed the communicator and shouted, and even broke the sound under the exhaustion.
"There is a red mecha with horns and a speed of thirty times the speed of sound, knocking on the door of our spaceship!!".
