Chapter 1268 What Else Can Be Done? Use the Handbrake!

The Pathfinder adjusted its orbit again, then opened the cargo bay and released the first artificial satellite for testing, "Cloto". After the satellite's central control computer was started, it successfully linked to Eve, the artificial soul quantum computer in the command center. Then the magic thruster was started under the control of the computer and slowly entered the recalculated orbit.

Originally, this satellite was used to test jump communications and telescope observation of Lolita and Lolia. However, after suddenly discovering the archipelago corrupted by demons, they decided to change the mission of the satellite after a simple impromptu meeting. It became a surveillance island for the Corruption.

"This is the temporary command center...the satellite signal is normal...the angular velocity has reached the target value...the satellite has entered the synchronous orbit...we succeeded!"

Seeing the stable and clear picture uploaded on the screen, cheers erupted in the command center. No one expected that the first launch of an artificial satellite would be so successful.

Clotto was also filled with emotion, if he had not obtained enough data from prehistoric civilizations, mastered a lot of new mathematical knowledge, and even obtained formulas for calculating various orbits from prehistoric civilizations, thereby reducing a lot of workload. , let alone launching satellites, I am afraid that even the sky is still a daydream.

"The satellite has entered orbit, please return as soon as possible!"

Alleria urged Tang En, and Tang En nodded, looking at the space, the stars and the sea a little reluctantly. This is a man's romance...

As a human being in two lifetimes, even he himself never imagined that one day he would be able to go to outer space.

Although there are still many tests that have not been done - such as the burning effect of fire elements in a vacuum environment, the conduction efficiency of magic power, etc.

He even wanted to test the possibility of the legendary powerhouse's body entering space directly...

Unfortunately, this kind of test was too risky, and Tang En didn't dare to risk his own life, so he gave up after thinking about it.

Perhaps, you can then catch a demon of similar strength and throw it into space to see if it survives.

"Okay, let's get ready to go back... Ilia?"

Only then did Tang En realize that Illya's expression was a little strange, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered what Otinia had said before, Illya was also a goddess!

——Although Illya has not yet awakened, who knows whether the chaotic creatures will notice her power fluctuations? The oppression and distortion caused by the power of the gods on the surrounding space is simply a natural landmark for them.

"...Ah, oh, um..."

Ilia suddenly came back to her senses and smiled at Tang En and said, "I was a little distracted just now. It's quite beautiful here. Are we going back now? It's a pity."

Tang En glanced at the distant starry sky worriedly, then rubbed her head and said with a forced smile: "You can come back later if you like, but now we have to rush back."

Ilia said nothing more and obediently let Tang En tie her to the seat.

"Wynette, you have to be good and sit down."

"Okay daddy!"

Vinette... Now her body shape has caught up with Ilia a few years ago, and her mind is also growing rapidly. She has become a seven or eight-year-old girl. Although she likes to move around, luckily She hasn't entered the rebellious stage yet, and is still quite obedient for now.

This moved Tang En to tears.

"let's go."

Tang En signaled to Egwen with his eyes, and then started the engine, and the spacecraft began to dive towards Purandal. The huge acceleration and strong vibrations made the entire spacecraft tremble violently, and the windows in front of him were all The air burned due to friction, and the vision was red.

The central control computer's alarm suddenly sounded in Tang En's ears: "Warning, the spacecraft's side thrusters have become loose and separated from the hull..."

Damn it! ?

"Warning, the hull is spinning...deviating from the landing route north by 0.12 degrees...0.13 degrees..."

Holy shit! ! !

"Brother! Are you okay!? Our ground crew observed that you seem to be burning up - wait, they said you are going in the wrong direction?"

Tang En couldn't help but curse loudly: "The side thrusters have all fallen off! I have lost the ability to turn and reverse propulsion. Can this course be normal!?"

"Well……"

"Who designed the spacecraft's landing plan!? And the connectors for the side thrusters!"

"It was based on the plan on that spaceship..."

"You actually used the landing plan of a crashed spaceship!? Or a spaceship piloted by goblins!?"

Tang En didn't know what to say anymore. If he wasn't watching, these guys would copy everything exactly as they were... The landing plan of their spaceship might be effective, but it was based on their engine power. The connection of the side thrusters is also based on the high-strength alloy they developed and the corresponding welding technology. This is not seeking death! ?

The flames in front of him gradually dissipated, but the vibrations became stronger and stronger. Tang En even saw many rivets and bolts popping out, and the control panel in front of him was about to fall apart... Seeing these familiar pictures, Tang En Finally I got back a little bit of the feeling of the magical world.

"Well, I'm now sure that this spacecraft has lost its salvage value."

When Tang En found that the operating rod had been pulled out by himself, he gave up completely and continued to struggle.

Fortunately, this is Purandar, and they are the astronauts this time, otherwise this first exploration of space would have ended in failure.

Central control computer: "Your Majesty, I think I can save a little more..."

Tang En: "..."

Egwen: "..."

Although he could let the three of them escape from the spacecraft now, and then directly put the spacecraft into his personal space, but the spacecraft was almost falling apart, and there was almost no value in saving it.

But the words of Central Control Computer made Tang En decide to give it another chance. It had just been born and was still a child...

"Can you activate the gravity well to slow down?"

"Warning, the reverse thruster falls off and cannot be started. The acceleration is too large and the hull structure loses stability. Sudden activation of the gravity well will cause the hull to completely disintegrate. According to calculations, the debris will cover one-third of Ellington. area."

"Okay...it seems this method won't work..."

Brian shouted: "Brother, the crash site has been determined. It is 13 kilometers away from Jinhu Town in the Casparmi Territory... There are still thirty seconds left before the crash... If you want to take action, please ASAP."

"My friend, it's best to do it if you can."

Clotto, who was next to him, was also anxious. After all, this was the first real spaceship he had handled. This spaceship had passed the test of taking off, and had passed the test of sealing, radiation, and high and low temperatures in space. If It would be so embarrassing if it ended up crashing.

How should Purandar's first space flight be recorded in history books in the future?

Cloteau said: "Although it is almost falling apart now, it allows us to further study how it falls apart, the strength of the structure and other defects..."

"Stop making excuses Clotho."

Brian next to him mercilessly exposed his cover up: "Actually, you are just afraid of being embarrassed, right? I don't know you yet?"

Clotto: "..."

Damn it, who said dwarves are upright? This guy's mouth is so mean that people want to tear him apart... He specializes in exposing people's shortcomings!

"Okay, okay, you are all uncles!"

Tang En was helpless. He looked at the instantaneous speed on the dashboard and shook his head.

"what to do?"

Egwen looked at the ground getting closer and closer, and became nervous: "There are still twenty seconds."

Tang En said helplessly: "What else can I do? Use the handbrake!"

Huge magic roared out of his body, instantly forming a mage's hand hundreds of meters in size outside the spacecraft. After first maintaining a relatively stationary speed with the spacecraft, he held the spacecraft, and then... began to slowly Apply force backward to stop the spacecraft from falling!

At the same time, Egwin also released his pure magic power to strengthen the hull of the spacecraft so that it would not be torn in half by the power of the mage's hand and its own acceleration.

"I'll go! Brother, you are so awesome! You can even think of 'handbrake'!?"

Brian took a sip of beer and stared dumbfounded at the huge mage's hand in the sky, pulling the spaceship as if it were walking a dog.

Listening to the creaking sound of the spaceship, Tang En cursed angrily: "If you could make the spaceship stronger, you wouldn't have so many things to do! - Ouch, you're still running after I fucked you! Stop!" Come down!"

The hands of the mage controlled by Tang En desperately pulled the spacecraft backwards. The spacecraft accelerated from an altitude of hundreds of thousands of meters. This speed plus its own mass contained no less energy than a meteorite. If you want to It's not easy to hold on to it.

But such a terrifying power was forcibly offset by Tang En's mage's hand!

The speed of the spacecraft finally fell back to a normal range, and it was still accelerating. When the speed fell back to the threshold, the central control computer immediately activated the dwarf gravity well. Under the action of anti-gravity, the spacecraft was about to fall apart. It immediately hovered in mid-air.

"Okay, let's call it a successful landing."

Tang En sighed: "Don't announce the news that we almost crashed. If the people need some confidence, just announce that we landed successfully."

"This is best."

Clotto nodded hurriedly: "Drive the spaceship back quickly, we are still waiting to analyze the cause of the accident."

"The engine has fallen off, how can it still fly! Just wait!"

Tang En said angrily: "When I tow it back, you will send people to check the predicted crash point of the engine. I hope there will be no accident."

"Understood."

Tang En pretended to have landed smoothly and finally towed the spacecraft back to Ellington. However, as soon as he got off the spacecraft, the spacecraft almost fell apart. He had to accompany Cloteau and the others to send the spacecraft back to the assembly workshop.

At this time, Ilia, who got off the spaceship, sent Vinette home and then quietly left the door...
