Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 488 A Visit to the Space Station
I drove Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi to work.

On her way home, Gu Zhao ate a bowl of wonton noodles with shrimp dumplings, then packed a plate of poached chicken, a plate of roast goose, a plate of honey-glazed char siu, and went to the supermarket to buy some fresh fruit.

After parking the car back in the parking lot, Gu Zhao took the elevator to the rooftop of the building and even let out a burp.

"set off!"

Gu Zhao leaped into the air and soared straight into the sky.

Similar to Yun Yang's actions last time, Gu Zhao did not conceal his figure this time either. After flying high into the sky, he left a trail of turbulent clouds and flew straight towards the horizon.

At the same time, the true qi protected the body and merged with nature. Even though the speed far exceeded the speed of sound, it did not create a shock cloud. Instead, it left a rapid trail and flew straight into space.

"what is that?"

"Sixth-generation fighter jet?"

"No, it flew too high, it must be a rocket."

"Brother, wake up! Where in Guangdong province is there a rocket launch base?"

"It couldn't be a missile that was launched, could it?"

"Fuck!"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, then involuntarily looked up and stared at each other.

Although Gu Zhao flew straight into space, in everyone's view, his direction became more and more skewed, and his trail became smaller and smaller until he finally disappeared into the horizon.

"It's flown outside the atmosphere?"

"If it's not a sixth-generation fighter jet, and it's not a rocket or missile, then is it the legendary near-space aerospace fighter?"

"A whistle? Aren't those launched from other aircraft in the sky?"

"That's the old version, it could have been shown a long time ago. The new version can probably take off from the ground. Guangzhou is adjacent to the South China Sea and is considered the front line of the conflict, so it's normal to test the flight here."

"Wow, you are so knowledgeable, brother! I am truly impressed!"

……

"Beep beep-"

An active phased array radar capable of detecting stealth fighters discovered Gu Zhao's whereabouts.

The extremely high speed, the extremely small radar cross-section, and the fact that the information was not entered into the database caused the radar detection system to issue a series of frantic alarms.

But just as the air force base sounded alarms, the air defense system raised missiles, and the pilots assembled urgently, high-altitude patrol drones and high-resolution satellites in space captured images of Gu Zhao.

When everyone saw the photo on the big screen of Gu Zhao standing on clouds, hands behind his back, flying towards the sky, everyone fell silent.

"Can you detect Mr. Gu's current speed?"

"According to radar detection, Mr. Gu's speed was gradually increasing. When he took off from the ground, his speed was only about Mach 3, but when this photo was taken, he had already exceeded the second cosmic velocity."

"hiss--"

Everyone in the Taoist office gasped in unison.

"At this speed, he can circle the Earth in just one hour, and travel to the moon in no more than ten hours."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses on the left side of the office quickly calculated the concept of this speed and explained it to everyone present.

Everyone: ()
Zheng Hongsheng looked at the host, who was in charge of external communications in the office. "Where is Mr. Gu now? Is it still possible to find out his location?" The host typed away on the computer, communicating with the outside world, and then seemed to freeze up.

"Mr. Gu..." The host pursed his lips and looked at everyone in the office, "He has arrived at the Tiangong Space Station."

Everyone: _?
Even Zheng Hongsheng was stunned, "Tiangong Space Station?"

……

Jing Chengpeng, who had just finished an experiment and was exercising on the Tiangong space station, thinking about what to eat for lunch, suddenly heard a thumping sound coming from the experimental cabin wall.

Jing Chengpeng was startled; his heart skipped a beat.

This is in space, hundreds of kilometers above the ground, surrounded by countless orbiting satellites and space debris.

Although the orbit chosen by the space station is relatively safe, who can predict what will happen in the universe?
Who knows, if a piece of debris were to suddenly change its trajectory due to a collision or solar wind, it might end up in the space station's orbit.

But the space station itself has detection radar, doesn't it?

Logically, even if there is space debris or foreign satellites changing their orbits and approaching, they should be able to detect it in advance and avoid it.

As a well-trained astronaut, Jing Chengpeng immediately approached the source of the unusual noise. He discovered that the noise originated from a circular porthole on the space station that faced Earth.

Jing Chengpeng leaned out of the window and saw a young man tapping on the window with his knuckles. When he saw him, the young man waved to him in a friendly manner.

Then he heard a voice in his mind, "Hello, I'm bringing you some food, please open the door."

Jing Chengpeng, "..."

A moment later, Jing Chengpeng, Ye Yunfu, and Wang Qingping, three well-trained astronauts, fell silent as they watched Gu Zhao take out the poached chicken, roast goose, honey-glazed char siu, and several boxes of fresh fruit cuts from the gourd.

Meanwhile, at the ground-based space base, in the operations hall that supports scientific research on the space station, dozens of researchers watched the real-time monitoring data transmitted back from the space station and fell silent as well.

"They were all made fresh this morning, and I watched them cut the fruit; they're all very fresh." Gu Zhao pointed to the several meat dishes and fruits neatly arranged on the counter.

"Why didn't they float up?" Ye Yunfu looked at the dishes on the table, then at Gu Zhao, who was standing steadily on the ground.

"Why don't you come and try it and you'll see?" Gu Zhao said with a smile.

The three of them floated over cautiously, but as soon as they got close to Gu Zhao, they felt a downward force, as if they had returned to the ground, but it didn't feel like gravity.

"For convenience, I applied a downward force to this space, but to avoid interfering with your experiment, I only controlled this small area."

Gu Zhao added, "You've been in the sky for too long, and your bodies can't withstand the gravity of Earth, so I applied a little less force, but at least to ensure that the food doesn't float around."

Wang Qingping smiled, revealing her feminine grace, "You've considered things very carefully."

"You're welcome. I was just going to the moon for a short trip, and since the space station was on my way, I brought you some food," Gu Zhao said with a smile. "Please don't mind how simple what I brought is."

"No problem at all!" Jing Chengpeng quickly replied. "We've been dreaming of having this meal in space."

The food prepared for astronauts on the space station is of course all good quality, with guaranteed taste and nutrition, but it is all pre-cooked food, and eating it in the space environment is relatively troublesome.

How can anything compare to this dining environment under low gravity, and the guaranteed freshness of poached chicken and roast goose?

The three of them then enjoyed a hearty meal, chatting with Gu Zhao as they ate, excitedly telling him a bunch of scientific research information and experimental results that Gu Zhao couldn't understand.

After finishing his meal, Gu Zhao cleaned up the trash as well before saying goodbye and leaving.
