Chapter 95: First Chapter Upon Release (Seeking Initial Subscription)
Sun Grazing Jammimg—
“That's a good idea, we can try it.”
Lu Yuan gave Nan Guo de Xue a thumbs up.
Actually, whether it was her character's intelligence attribute in the game or her academic IQ in reality, this elder sister was no less than Jubian; she was an SSR-level person.
“What is Sun Grazing—”
The arts major 'god' scratched the back of his head through his helmet, completely confused.
“It's a term in satellite communication.” Jubian, rarely getting to be a teacher, instantly became energetic.
“It refers to when, viewed from the ground, an artificial satellite passes directly in front of the sun, becoming a small black spot on the luminous sphere. The communication signals it emits will be interfered with by powerful radio waves from the sun, or even completely covered.”
The 'god' lowered his head and thought hard for a while, then it clicked.
“Oh—” “I think I understand. You want our assault force to always fly towards the Moon with the sun at their back, so their thermal signals get mixed in with the large amount of infrared light from the sun, making them indistinguishable?”
Black Smoke: “Congratulations, you got it right!”
This way, they could achieve "triple stealth" from radar, infrared detection, and even visible light.
Truly undetectable!
The 'god': “Good heavens—Xue Jie is so smart! Speaking of which, isn't this the move used by that person in Japan! Who was it, the one who played positioning in duels and used the sun to blind his opponent—.”
Guo Li Cheng: “Solar Flare! Krillin vs. Frieza!”
Black Smoke: “That's a manga, it should be Miyamoto Musashi—
In short, after some discussion, everyone felt this tactic was promising and decided to go for it!
First, take out Apollo's satellite station, then plan for Oasis City, which has a population of seventy thousand.
“Um, Executive Officer—” Nan Guo de Xue floated over to Lu Yuan, "The last paragraph in the 'Captain's' diary seems to be left for you."
Left for me?
Lu Yuan took the diary and turned to the last page.
"P.S. I found some underlying protocols in the system, very interesting. According to one of these protocols, the Executive Officer on the 'cangyuan one' colony ship theoretically has a chance to cross time and recover this ship."
"That's a legendary figure, a pioneer of human interstellar travel, a hero who dared to sail into deep space in an era lacking means of faster-than-light travel! His journey has been forgotten by most and won't end for another few hundred years, so perhaps there really is a chance to avoid the apocalypse."
"Esteemed Executive Officer, although you and I belong to different factions, we are both members of humanity. If a miracle truly happens, and you really arrive on this ship, then I have left some small gifts in the hangar, hoping they can help you."
Holy crap!?
There's such a good thing!
“Everyone, follow me.”
Lu Yuan immediately called his employees and came to the hangar located behind the bridge.
There were no spacecraft parked in the hangar, but five weapon crates were floating.
Seeing the bright yellow radioactive hazard symbols on the crates, everyone's eyes lit up.
Weapons of mass destruction, arriving late but surely!
Jubian quickly completed the scan and returned to Lu Yuan to report the results.
“Executive Officer, they are nuclear warheads, all five of them! And quite powerful, 12 million tons of TNT equivalent each.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
Since they had recovered a nuclear-powered spaceship, it wasn't strange to get a few nuclear bombs as a bonus.
In fact, in the space age, nuclear bombs were just a very ordinary weapon, neither the most destructive nor the most difficult to defend against.
Furthermore, for an organization like Cangyuan, which was dedicated to recovering technology, absorbing population to increase productivity, and rebuilding civilization,
Using nuclear bombs to indiscriminately bomb everything was often not the best option.
In short, how exactly these five nuclear bombs should be used, whether to hold onto them as a deterrent or to play them as cards, required careful thought.
After exploring for 4 hours continuously, Lu Yuan decided to return the way they came.
The industrial ship currently lacked sufficient power and could not land. If it attempted to land by force, it would surely crash at a speed close to free fall, creating a considerable "meteorite crater" in the Desert.
Two unknown devices were scanned inside the industrial ship, which looked very similar to tokamak reactors but were not exactly the same. The relevant data had been deleted during the civil war in Oasis City. It is speculated that these are the Zero Element Furnaces mentioned by the 'Captain', and they are currently in a state of lacking fuel and cannot function normally.
For the industrial ship to land smoothly, it must first be refueled with zero element.
What is zero element, and what is a Zero Element Furnace? Currently, due to missing data, this is unknown.
But what is certain is that the Zero Element Furnace can not only allow a massive spaceship to take off and land with relatively extremely low thrust,
It can also prevent a large amount of the reservoir from being evaporated.
At first glance, these are two completely different things, but in reality, there is an implicit connection between them.
Based on these two clues, Lu Yuan has already made some conjectures about the Zero Element Furnace, but further confirmation is needed.
In short, the primary goal for the next step is to find a way to obtain zero element and fusion fuel.
The industrial ship's computer stores a large number of technical blueprints, including light, medium, and heavy space fighters developed by Cangyuan in the late 23rd century, as well as a gunboat similar in size to a spaceplane.
It also includes various models and specifications of fusion reactors, and advanced ion engines used with the reactors.
This equipment can make Cangyuan a true cosmic power, and it must be built!
However, the reactors either use Helium-3 fuel or gas fuel, which is hydrogen and its low-abundance isotopes, and cannot be synthesized by 3D printers or chemical means.
Lu Yuan decided to first advance towards the Moon mining site for this very reason.
Taking is always the fastest way.
“Although we have a tactic now, just flying there in a spaceplane is still too risky. It would be best to have fighter escorts—.”
The good news is that the industrial ship can also process and produce military equipment even when not deployed, although due to insufficient internal space,
The overall efficiency is only 15% of what it is when deployed.
But even at 15% efficiency, converted to production capacity, it is still higher than at the camp.
A bold plan emerged in Lu Yuan's mind.
The next day after returning to the ground, the first batch of 120 interns from Red Iron Town had arrived at Devil Mountain Camp.
They were male and female, half of them experienced Engineers, and the other half intelligent and strong excellent young workers.
They were all considered advanced workers in the town, people of standing, and Shen Quan was among them.
After receiving their combat uniforms, they gathered in front of the dormitory, looking forward eagerly.
Spirited and full of motivation.
From today onwards, we are also workers of Cangyuan! Let's see who in Oasis City still dares to look down on us.
“Everyone, follow me, this way!”
The foreman, Black Smoke, suddenly appeared and shouted from a distance.
“Coming!”
The interns quickly ran, afraid of falling behind the group.
Good, very energetic.
Black Smoke showed a smile.
Originally, he planned to train this batch of interns at the camp, but now it seemed that plans couldn't keep up with changes.
According to the Executive Officer's intention, these natives were about to experience something unforgettable in their lives.
