Chapter 263 Dongzhou Network
10 seconds.
Passed while Su Wu was waiting with breath holding his breath and concentrating.
Accompanied by the countdown to zero.
At the center of the space launch site, the rocket engine began to ignite.
The blazing flames burned and ejected at the bottom of the rocket, producing huge thrust.
Slowly push the huge rocket up.
“It’s successful when it comes to the launch frame.”
“Accelerating is normal.”
"Current speed is 100km/h200km/h"
On the screen in front of the console.
The scene captured by the rocket''s external camera facing down is displayed in real time.
Around the space launch site, there are large areas of temporary warehouses, bunkers, and hills piled up by excavated earth and stone waste.
Gradually as the Rockets rise, they are all included in the camera.
Then it slowly shrinks.
The 30th second after launch.
The Rocket accelerates to 400 km/h.
Arrived at an altitude of two thousand meters from the ground.
The building complex on the surface of the farmyard has become tiny in the camera.
Looking all over.
It is full of mountains and plains covered with snow.
The location of Jianghe City once was located.
Because all the buildings and ruins have been demolished and transported away.
Now it has disappeared under a snow-white ice field, and no trace of existence can be found.
"unconsciously."
"In Jianghe City, there are only farmyards and there are still many surface buildings."
The first time at this height.
Overlook the Jianghe City after the end of the world.
Looking at the land where there are almost no traces of civilization.
I think about it more than half a year ago, when I just arrived in Jianghe City.
In the entire Jianghe City, it can be called a remote farmyard.
Su Wu couldn''t help but feel a little change of things.
In this short time.
The once glorious human civilization has already shown signs of being at its end.
The huge rocket continued to accelerate and take off.
48 seconds.
At an altitude of 5,000 meters from the ground.
The field of view has been blocked by a gray cloud, and there is no situation related to the ground.
In the entire shot, there is only the continuous surging gray fog.
This thick layer of clouds.
Since entering the end of the world, global fires broke out.
It hovered above all humans'' heads.
Whether it is the high temperature, heavy rain, or the severe cold today.
None of them has never dissipated.
Just like the symbol of doomsday.
1 minute and 33 seconds.
The Rockets accelerated to 2,800 km/h.
The ground is 22 km away.
At this height, the obstruction of the clouds has been removed.
You can even see the arc of the planet at the edge of the camera.
And it is also at this time.
The communication between the control center and the rocket was suddenly disturbed by inexplicable interference.
The screen of the monitoring camera showed unstable fluctuations.
Rocket''s engine.
It no longer runs smoothly as it was at the beginning.
"Warning, unknown interference was detected."
“Engine 7 has been offline.”
"The rocket''s flight direction is skewed by 1.2 degrees."
"Start to enable alternatives."
“The auxiliary thruster is turned on.”
The rocket that was originally flying steadily seemed to penetrate into a bumpy airflow.
The whole body was shaking at a huge magnitude.
It seems that there is a possibility of completely out of control at any time.
A few seconds later.
A main engine went on strike completely.
Artificial intelligence that monitors the operation of rockets at all times.
Forced to enable alternatives.
The output power of other rocket engines is increased to resist interference with higher thrust.
Control center on the underground floor.
Su Wu couldn''t help sitting up straight.
His expression was a little solemn.
This situation is not expected before.
Logically speaking, in that high environment, it should not be so harsh.
The heart-wrenching shaking lasted for nearly a minute.
Fortunately, the Rockets'' original design left enough room to deal with accidents. The structure itself is also strong enough.
In a stuttering.
After all, I reached the predetermined altitude of 70 kilometers.
The huge Rockets began to split into two.
Burn off most of the fuel and start deceleration and redirection.
The front-end continues to accelerate.
Continue to rush straight towards the speed of 10,000 kilometers per hour.
"The Rockets separated successfully."
"The first-stage rocket starts to slow down and return."
"The second-stage rocket successfully entered low-Earth orbit."
“Continue to continue to accelerate.”
“The flight track has been corrected.”
"The current state is normal."
Artificial intelligence removes the alarm.
Re-established a stable connection with the rocket entering space.
On the screen in front of Su Wu.
The picture is divided into two.
The first-stage rocket is shown on the left, which occupies the lower half of most of the rocket''s volume.
The right shows a second-stage rocket carrying the Eden satellite that is still climbing up.
It has reached this stage.
Basically, it can be confirmed that the launch has been mostly successful.
And at the same time.
At the moment when the Rockets successfully separated.
It is at the height of the earth, causing movement.
It has also truly attracted the attention of large forces around the world.
They traced the rocket''s flight trajectory.
Locked in on the original origin.
Start to turn your attention to the location of Jianghe City.
Jianghe City, and even the Southeast Alliance where it is located.
For the first time, it has received unprecedented attention from the whole world.
Zhenhai City.
Office of the Speaker of the United Parliament.
Ping Yuhan received a communication from senior federal officials.
"Assistant Kahn, long time no see."
Since being flooded by the tsunami, a large number of wealthy people and even senior government officials have taken the lead in sweeping over a huge amount of strategic materials and fleeing deep inland.
Zhenhai City, whose comprehensive strength has been greatly reduced.
It has been a long time since I received greetings from senior federal officials.
Although no one said it clearly, Ping Yuhan and many councillors and elite figures in Zhenhai City knew it in their hearts.
They have been abandoned by the Federation and have been demoted to become one of many ordinary cities in the East Continent.
"Jianghe City? It is a member of our alliance."
"Scientific research capabilities and medical technology are both very strong."
“The industrial system is also very complete.”
Ping Yuhan''s tone was calm, but as the other party asked, he simply replied to a few words about the situation in Jianghe City.
Then he listened quietly for a while.
Nodded.
"I will tell you your congratulations."
“Your proposal will also be forwarded to them.”
End the call.
Ping Yuhan turned on his office computer to see the latest information about Jianghe City.
That''s on it.
Photos of the space launch site on the surface of the farmyard are listed.
Su Wu did not deliberately keep the matter of launching the rockets secret.
A lot of news can be found on his internet.
That''s why.
The intelligence department of Zhenhai City knew early that Su Wu would conduct his first rocket launch today.
But no one among them could have thought of it.
This first launch was successful.
And it seems that he still heads straight to the most difficult synchronization track.
Staring at the photo, the huge rocket standing quietly.
After a long time.
Ping Yuhan sighed softly.
"I''ll underestimate them."
Farmhouse courtyard, control center on the first floor of the underground. Su Wu was still watching the rocket launch with all his attention.
The 8th minute and 12th second after the Rockets took off.
The first-stage rocket that returned.
Appeared above the surface of the farmyard.
Then he slowed down slowly and stopped steadily on the launch site.
This means the successful completion of the recycling phase.
Su Wu has since.
This section of the first-stage rocket will be available.
Repeat multiple launches.
The cost is only one-something that of the first launch.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
And on the other side.
A second-stage rocket carrying the Eden satellite.
Start by entering low-Earth orbit 160 kilometers from the ground.
Enter a synchronous orbit 35,000 kilometers from the surface.
The whole process takes about two or three hours.
During this time.
The Eden satellite located in the second stage rocket.
Wake up and enter pre-boot state in advance.
Its internal radar scanning components begin to automatically detect the surrounding environment.
And send the data back to the control center of the farmyard.
Su Wu obtained information from the space level for the first time.
From this information.
He discovered satellites in low-Earth orbit.
Most of them seem to be in a state of downtime or damaged.
The number of people who are actually operating normally is less than 30% of the total.
This is obviously not a normal data.
It represents those satellites, which are likely to have suffered severe blows.
"So it turns out to be space after the end of the world."
"Isn''t it safe either."
Realize this.
Su Wu found out that he didn''t seem surprised.
Fortunately, I didn''t insist on developing satellites myself before.
Selected to use the survival point to upgrade.
This can at least ensure that the satellites sent to space have sufficient self-protection capabilities.
And there will be no accidents anytime, anywhere.
Two and a half hours later.
Eden satellite breaks away from the second-stage rocket.
Arrived at the scheduled synchronous track.
Start to unfold your true posture.
Unlike traditional cuboid or cylindrical satellites.
The unfolding Eden satellite.
It consists of multiple rings with different sizes and rotating at an even speed all the time, and 1,000 square meters of flexible solar panels that can be gathered and spread out at any time.
From a distance, it looks like a space city with huge sails on both sides.
“Eden has been deployed.”
"Open the first performance test."
“Ninety-seven percent of the current energy reserves remain.”
“The test is expected to consume 95% of the energy.”
Accompanied by a series of event prompts.
Refresh on the screen in front of Su Wu.
Located on a synchronous track 35,000 kilometers away.
The unfolding Eden satellite began to glow white light on the surface.
The light began to be very weak.
Then it gradually strengthened, covering the original color of the satellite.
Then gradually expanded.
A pure white light ball was formed.
“Expanding the energy shield successfully.
“The energy supply was detected to be stable.”
"Prepare to start the next phase of testing."
The pure white light ball fluctuated a little.
Then, like a water flow, it quietly rotates along the satellite.
Huge solar sail panels flowing to the spread of both sides.
After a few seconds.
The dark sail panel is completely rendered into a pair of pure white light wings.
Endless light blooms in space.
That moment.
The Earth faces the side of the Eden satellite.
In any area where there is no snow and the clouds are slightly weak.
You can see the traces it leaves.
That trace.
It is like hanging in the dark sky, the only shining star.
“The ultimate load-bearing capacity is normal.”
"It has been confirmed that it has the ability to activate space-based weapons strikes."
"The test is over."
The huge light wings in space continued to spread for 10 seconds.
Then it gradually faded.
The original black appearance of the solar panel has been restored.
at the same time.
A brand new communication network.
It began to spread silently to Dongzhou and the ocean nearby.
From this moment on.
All refuges with signal receiving devices throughout Dongzhou.
All will be able to use the Eden satellite for networking.
Ordinary people are in such shelters, or after they leave the shelter.
Satellite networks will also be able to be used at will.
Farmhouse courtyard, control center on the first floor of the underground.
Su Wu is a bit novel.
Experience the functions of the Eden satellite.
He found that the network transmission speed of the Eden satellite is no lower than that of the communication signal tower.
It just doesn''t have the function of the latter to penetrate the underground.
As for the coverage, it is even more awesome to the latter.
"Although, it only supports up to 100 million people to access the Internet normally at the same time."
"But this normal standard is smooth browsing videos."
"If you limit the single-player internet speed a little."
"Satisfies the networking needs of more than 4 billion people in the entire East China continent, it should be no problem."
Take a look at the data in the background.
In just ten minutes after opening the satellite network.
Hundreds of thousands of people have already entered his Internet through the Eden satellite.
It is foreseeable.
Wait until the news spreads.
At the latest tonight, there should be a peak in the number of visitors.
But then.
I think even the most extreme situation.
The number of people connected to the Internet cannot reach the 4 billion that Su Wu envisioned.
Population reduction in various disasters in the apocalypse, loss of mobile phones, lockdown of refuges, etc.
Various reasons will greatly restrict ordinary people from using the Eden satellite network.
It would be quite good to finally have one-tenth of the population of the entire East Continent before the end of the world.
“After the network is rolled out.”
"The most important thing is to promote games and harvest spirituality."
“Think of this.”
"While limiting single-player internet speeds, a game-specific traffic package can be added."
"Let ordinary people enjoy maximum internet speed when downloading games."
“Reduce the cost of getting started.”
“Then it’s about opening a store.”
"Allow players to cash out the game coins in their hands."
“Make sure they have the motivation to continue to enter the game.”
In the context of lack of work in the end of the world.
As long as you ensure that the game coins can be exchanged for survival materials.
There is no need to worry about not playing games.
This is actually equivalent to providing them with a job in disguise.
It''s just how to convert the game coins in their hands.
But it is a difficult problem.
After thinking for a long time.
Su Wu finally set his sights on the bioprinter.
“High-end medical services can be provided for those rich shelter-level shelters.”
"Just spend a certain amount of game coins."
"You can enjoy medical services including curing cancer and other terminal illnesses in Jianghe City."
"If you are willing to pay enough game coins."
"It''s not impossible to send biplane helicopters to pick up and drop off patients in person, and extend the lifespan of patients, etc."
This kind of high-end medical service is destined to be very expensive.
After all, not long ago, Yu''an City was equal to using the resources of the entire province.
Only in exchange for more than a dozen treatments and 20-year life-long quotas were obtained.
If Su Wu set the price too low, it would be difficult to explain to him.
