Otherworld Girl Development Guide

With a beep, the screen switched to Honghong, who was at the CNSC headquarters.

"Next, let our chief engineer introduce the Wentian Mass Accelerator to us..."

The chief designer of the "Wentian" mass accelerator was slightly nervous in front of the camera, after all, this was the first time in his life that he had appeared on television.

"Hello everyone, this is our delivery box. It uses a special internal structure to withstand the impact of electromagnetic acceleration..."

The chief engineer pointed behind the tempered glass to a container painted with a yellow rabbit design, with a question mark wrapped around the rabbit's neck, and explained softly.

"...A mass accelerator, simply put, can be thought of as a large slingshot. It can accelerate goods directly on the ground and send them to a predetermined track. It's very cheap, requiring only electricity..."

At this point, the chief designer added humorously:

"...As everyone knows, with the commercialization of controlled nuclear fusion, electricity prices have recently become cheaper. If we calculate based on electricity prices, our launch will only cost one million rubles, which means it's many times cheaper than Marcus's reusable rocket..."

"...At least we don't launch space debris into the universe."

During the conversation, a certain major world power left the live broadcast room while cursing.

"So, Chief Designer, I'd like to know, what delicious food did we send to the astronauts this time?"

In the universe of culinary delights, what a rabbit is most concerned about is what to eat.

"This ration included Sichuan cuisine, roast meat, braised pork with sugar, and steamed buns. The dessert was candied pineapple, and the drinks included orange juice, milk tea, and mineral water... It can be said that our astronauts can eat different cuisines every day, and each meal is carefully prepared by a nutritionist."

"You're making me a little hungry..." Honghong joked from the side.

"We had the same lunch that astronauts have at the cafeteria today..."

Soon, some viewers watching the live stream discovered that, at some point, Meituan and Baoleme were promoting "astronaut nutrition packages" almost simultaneously... They couldn't help but place orders while cursing the unscrupulous merchants in their hearts.

After a 20-minute check, the Wentian Mass Accelerator entered its final preparations for launch.

"Power on the guide rails!" the chief engineer commanded.

"Power on the guide rail!"

On the electromagnetic catapult track, the electromagnetic rails made of superconducting material emitted a buzzing sound the moment they were energized.

On the container, the yellow rabbit gazes into the distance, its eyes filled with determination.

Chapter 338 A New Era (9/15)

The Wentian Mass Accelerator is 16 kilometers long, with the front section being a horizontal acceleration section that uses a massive Ampere force to provide cargo with the speed to escape gravity.

Initially, the plan was to install propulsion engines on the shipping containers, but it was soon discovered that containers are not spacecraft and require Earth's gravity to adjust their orbits so that they can enter the predetermined orbit... Therefore, the propulsion engines inside the containers will be shut down when entering the final liftoff phase.

The mass accelerator begins its ascent from the middle section, which is the lifting section, where the track begins to rise smoothly...

Finally, the launch phase involves launching the container into the sky at a near-vertical angle. Under the influence of Earth's gravity, the container changes from a near-vertical trajectory to a high parabola. With precise control, it eventually enters the predetermined orbit, delivering the cargo to Tiangong.

Launch countdown...

As the countdown began, viewers in front of their screens almost held their breath – this was the first mass accelerator launch on Earth!

"twenty three..."

At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are on this distant Eastern country.

"twenty three..."

We missed the Age of Exploration...

"twenty three..."

We missed the First Industrial Revolution...

"twenty three..."

We also missed the Second Industrial Revolution...

"twenty three..."

During the Third Industrial Revolution, we were just an ignorant "child"...

"emission!"

The chief engineer pressed the launch button for the mass accelerator, a button that had been passed down for decades.

Now, we will sound the clarion call for the large-scale development of the Earth-Moon system!

The Wentian Mass Accelerator launched for the first time, and the scene was incredibly cool.

The moment the button is pressed, the electromagnetic catapult designed by Magneto's team forms a circuit, and the electricity is converted into Ampere force, which propels the container to accelerate.

Initially, the container was only traveling at 80 miles per hour, but two seconds later, thanks to its optimized aerodynamic shape, it accelerated to 300 miles per hour, and the speed continued to increase steadily...

With a deafening roar, the container broke the sound barrier during the flat acceleration phase, forcing the air to the sides and creating a visible shockwave...

Accelerating...accelerating continuously...electricity flows continuously into the acceleration track, transforming into Ampere force to provide acceleration.

Because it uses a magnetic levitation system, the cargo containers do not rub against the tracks; however, everyone has the illusion of being propelled by electric current, as if the containers are sparking and flashing along the way...

"Delivery speed is steadily improving, and everything is normal at Wentian..."

After gaining sufficient speed during the acceleration phase, the cargo begins to adjust its launch angle in the smoother transition phase. The thrust during the transition phase is greater than during acceleration because the cargo container must counteract the potential energy generated by gravity...

"Wentian's condition is normal..."

After the cargo passed through the transition section, it finally entered the final lift-off section!

If the acceleration and transition phases can be explained by existing technology, the final takeoff phase is something that made the US gasp in shock!

During the transition between the transition phase and the ascent phase, a 90-degree directional adjustment is required. It's important to understand that under such acceleration, the greater the mass, the greater the inertia! The cargo container is affected not only by gravity but also by inertia!

How does the electromagnetic guide rail firmly hold the cargo box to the track during the angle adjustment process?

The cargo box deflected at an angle while sliding on the magnetic track. At such high speeds, even the slightest deviation could cause the entire acceleration track to be smashed!

In fact, the rabbit's solution was quite simple: it eliminated the gravitational factor, added a magnetic confinement track between the transition section and the ascent section, reinforced it with a large amount of material, and used magnetic force to forcibly adjust the angle of the cargo box.

Simply put, if the material can withstand such an overload without collapsing, then materials science is not up to par, and it simply cannot be manufactured... After all, on Earth, only China and the United States can successfully operate electromagnetic catapults, and that's a catapult system that doesn't require turning.

Carbon nanotubes, plus a robust framework structure, a victory for die-hard materials science!

Mountains stand like swords, rivers are like mirrors, and small boats turn swiftly like flying stars!

During the final ascent, the cargo container flies into the sky. Its own inertia will allow it to smoothly reach the predetermined trajectory and eventually fly to the celestial palace to deliver the takeout.

"I hereby announce that the Wentian Mass Accelerator has been successfully launched. We will be holding a celebration banquet in the cafeteria next."

Just before the food delivery launched by the Wentian Mass Accelerator arrived at Tiangong, India was the first to jump out.

The Hindustan Space Agency (HSA) announced it will allocate funds to build a larger, more powerful mass accelerator—one that would be equivalent to two of China's (China's) accelerators—codenamed "Yama"...

After a long wait, the cargo container, under the monitoring of the ground station, successfully entered the predetermined orbit and flew towards Tiangong.

At this time, the Lagrange point's celestial palace was already taking shape. A 5-nanometer precision astronomical telescope was also installed on the space station. The telescope was suspended in the space station's orbit and had a huge "umbrella" to reduce external interference, allowing it to be a quiet stargazer.

After the package arrived at the space station, CNSC headquarters and Tiangong held celebration banquets almost simultaneously. The two sides had the same food and were even able to communicate via video.

Distance no longer seems so at this moment.

Bingbing ate her heated boxed lunch with a happy expression on her face.

"Dinner's ready! Viewers, this barbecue tastes really good, and the rice is delicious too!"

[Feeling hungry? Time to eat!]

[Yeah, right! I want a space-themed meal too... Damn, 24! That's expensive!]

[Consider this a psychological comfort...and finally, I just want to say, China is awesome!]

......

In the political center of the rabbit, following the successful launch of the Wentian Mass Accelerator, a high-level meeting was convened.

"Our quality accelerator has been a success... costs have been reduced to an acceptable level."

"Then, we can move on to the next step of the plan: to complete the construction of the kilometer-level space station as soon as possible. We urgently need helium-3 fuel."

Originally, there was no rush to develop the moon, but the combination of the two treasures suddenly made the helium-3 in the hands of the rabbit a little insufficient. Commercial reactors can use gravitational fields to bind neutrons, but shipborne reactors must use helium-3 as fuel, which can greatly simplify the complexity of the reactor.

The construction of a kilometer-level space station is imminent, and the electricity cost of 100W per trip is dirt cheap!

The cargo containers after launch can even be used as components of the space station. As long as the internal orthogonal engines are recovered, they can be recycled, minimizing costs to the greatest extent possible.

Chapter 339 Sitting at home, trouble falls from the sky (10/15)

[Space Chef Training...]

Which company is best at space welding...?

[Teaching a universal language for space...]

Quantum communication: Giving your child a head start...

[Space navigation engineers wanted, million-dollar annual salary is within reach...]

[A certain group is now recruiting space riders, seizing the opportunity to lead the world...]

Almost instantly, various platforms seized on the trending topic and launched a massive publicity campaign. No matter what it was, as long as it was associated with space, it was touted as a high-end industry that ordinary industries could hardly compete with.

However, some capitalists who wanted to invest in China's space program discovered that China was not accepting any investment at all, and all of CNSC's shares were held by the government with no intention of releasing them.

Even the owners of the world's largest companies are like ants in the face of almost limitless sky resources. Whoever can master space development will become the new "world's richest man".

This caused some capitalists who were not interested in money but wanted to be the bosses of giant enterprises to lament and angrily denounce the Chinese for not being "equal, democratic, and egalitarian" at all... However, the "equal democracy" they talked about was completely different from the "equal democracy" that ordinary people knew.

While everyone was wondering when the Wentian Mass Accelerator would launch next, at an airport in a neighboring major world power, an Indian-made spaceplane was preparing for launch.

This is a "next-generation" spacecraft that India developed after seeing the white bird of China. However, since China's mass accelerator could be used, India's Aztec Space Agency only brought out this treasure.

The outer shell of this space shuttle was manufactured by Hanscat, the power was provided by the United States, the aerodynamic design was done by the United States, and even the former ruler, the Great British Empire, contributed by selling several spacesuits... It can be said that India truly achieved global support!

Amidst a countdown filled with the aroma of curry, the "space shuttle" painted in bright yellow took off.

India's "domestic" spacecraft glided for 4 kilometers in orbit before taking off with the pilot's brute force, almost breaking the control stick, and soaring into the sky.

The moment the spacecraft took off, the entire Indian internet was abuzz. Indians, using mobile phones and internet supplied by China, cheered that this was the rise of a world superpower!

The spacecraft slowly gained altitude, and with the help of conventional engines, it finally "crawled" to a height where rocket engines could be used.

The pilot shut down the conventional engines and pressed the ignition switch on the rocket engines.
