Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

"Currently monitoring Maya, Mary, and Maho. Within a 5km radius around them, there are 3720 heat source markers and 470 moving targets. No hostile targets have been detected so far..."

The holographic projection of [Crimson] was suspended next to Chen Ming. She was dressed in a digital camouflage combat uniform today, with data streams constantly flowing on it.

"Keep monitoring. If any dangerous targets approach them, alert me!"

"understand!"

Upon hearing his order, [Crimson] immediately dispersed the holographic projection.

Chen Ming changed into light home clothes, sat on the soft sofa, stretched himself, and then hugged Alpha and Alixi who were sitting beside him. He said very comfortably: "I won't go out today. The gentle land of home is still the most comfortable!"

Alpha gently placed the sleeping Taldo in the cradle.

Then she picked up the remote control and turned on the big screen, playing a movie from the main world.

Watching the movie and breathing in the intoxicating body fragrance of the lovers, Chen Ming fell asleep unknowingly.

"Yesterday, in order to treat those poor children, Ming was exhausted. He cast the [Water of Life] 392 times..."

Ai Lixi admired Chen Ming's love very much, but also felt sorry for his hard work, so she was very gentle and let Chen Ming rest his head on her white thigh.

"Yes, the master could have lived a comfortable life in the manor, but he always lends a helping hand to those in need, selflessly sacrificing himself for others. He is truly so kind..."

Alpha also picked up Chen Ming's calves and placed them on his thighs to relax, so that he could sleep more comfortably.

"Sister Alpha, I always feel like you're particularly sympathetic to those little girls. Although they're indeed quite pitiful, there are countless orphans like them in this world..."

"You don't know, if the master hadn't found me and taken me in, I might have starved to death in the village now, and my poor daughter is still too young, she might not even have the chance to become a wandering orphan..."

The two beauties chatted softly about their past.

Alpha and Ellysi often serve Chen Ming together. They are comrades who have carried guns together, so their relationship has developed into good sisters who can talk about anything.

After a while, Ai Lixi suddenly stopped talking, because her mischievous eyes had locked onto Chen Ming's power supply. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Ming is really energetic!"

It is well known that during sleep, a normal man's power supply generates alternating current - a process that periodically reverses direction and continuously changes the magnitude of the power supply.

So this situation is beyond Chen Ming's control.

But Alpha and Ellysi had not received modern education and did not know this scientific knowledge. They thought Chen Ming was just dreaming.

Alpha raised the corner of his mouth meaningfully: "I wonder who the master is dreaming about now?"

"Perhaps we were both dreaming it!"

Ai Lixi said with a smirk, "Who among us will help make his dream come true?"

Alpha looked at Alisi's expectant eyes and saw through her good sister's thoughts at a glance: "Why don't you come? You help her dreams come true every morning. You have experience..."

"Okay, Alpha sister, I won't be polite then!"

Elise smiled happily at Alpha, then began to do her job as a dream helper with ease...

The pipe dream naturally transitioned to reality.

……

The new maids had a strong ability to adapt and quickly integrated into the life of the Half Mountain Manor.

In particular, they found that their master Chen Ming was very easy to get along with, and was as kind and tolerant as Maya had said.

He never disturbs them when they are working, and even during their rest time, he rarely interferes with their activities. He just lets them do what they want, and doesn't act like a master at all.

After receiving the baptism of their master's healing magic and eating and drinking well every day, these new little maids gradually gained flesh on their faces, and their cheeks were no longer as skinny and sunken as before.

Children are different. Once they get enough nutrition, their bodies recover quickly, especially at their age when they are still growing.

These well-behaved little maids have brought more popularity to Chen Ming's Mid-Mountain Manor, and he likes the current atmosphere very much.

Although [Crimson] can control the sweeping robot to clean the villa, that would be too cold. He prefers to admire the little maids working diligently - mopping the floor, wiping the furniture, washing the sheets, helping in the kitchen, cleaning the bathtub and filling it with hot water, watering the plants... Their active and petite figures can be seen everywhere.

……

In the days that followed, everything ran normally at Banshan Manor.

Chen Ming also works very hard, working from sunrise to sunset all day long.

In addition to materializing various materials, the most arduous task every day is to recharge and obtain the power of joy, but he is happy to do this job.

After all, he'd been single for 27 years, practically a wizard. Experts say that after a period of suppressed spending, consumers, driven by long-term pent-up demand, can engage in irrational, retaliatory spending behavior. Its core characteristics are driven by emotion and a compensatory mentality, often manifesting as excessive spending beyond actual needs, with a tendency to "let off steam" or "make up for losses."

So Chen Ming enjoys it and never gets tired of it!

It wasn't until a month later that the 6-kilometer-long maglev launch site was finally completed!

When the last section of the vacuum sealing valve completed the helium mass spectrometer leak test, a bell rang throughout the launch base for thirty seconds.

After receiving the report from [Crimson], Chen Ming immediately used [Teleportation] to rush to the scene.

He gazed at the towering white jade pillar that penetrated the mountain and the ground - the 15-meter-diameter vacuum pipe was like a giant metal dragon lurking underground, extending to the top of the mountain along the 6-kilometer-long magnetic levitation track.

The densely packed array of superconducting coils on the inner layer of the tube wall was emitting a cold blue light, as if accumulating energy for the upcoming thunderous strike.

Invisibly underground, the winding, ultra-long liquid nitrogen pipelines are maintaining the quantum-locked state of tens of thousands of tons of superconducting materials at a low temperature of -196°C.

"The vacuum level is maintained at 1×10^-7 Pa, and the synchronization rate of the superconducting magnet array in the liquid helium temperature zone is 99.998%."

A holographic projection of Crimson appeared behind Chen Ming and reported, "The electromagnetic catapult unit has completed its 1200th simulation test, with the orbital straightness error less than 0.03 mm/km... Master, the satellite test launch is ready!"

Chapter 83: One Year Later

Building a satellite from scratch is a hugely challenging undertaking, even more challenging than building a maglev launch site. From component-level manufacturing to full-star electromagnetic compatibility testing, modern satellite manufacturing involves over 3000 technologies.

The development of the satellite's outer shell is particularly difficult. To launch a satellite into orbit, the satellite must reach the first cosmic speed of 7.9 km/s. Moreover, considering the power loss caused by air friction, the satellite's launch speed must be even faster than 7.9 km/s...

This isn't a big deal in space, where there's no air resistance and you can fly as fast as you want. But flying at this speed within the dense atmosphere, the satellite's outer shell must be strong enough to withstand the heat generated by air friction!

Fortunately, Panda Star has reliable finished products - in fact, Blue Star also has finished products that meet the requirements, such as China's Dongfeng-5B missile?, which can reach a terminal speed of more than 30 Mach when re-entering the atmosphere. If it melts and disintegrates before hitting the target, it will not be a hypersonic weapon, but a gorgeous firework.

However, Pandaxing's finished product is more advanced.

Therefore, based on the information provided by [Crimson], Chen Ming directly materialized a satellite dedicated to electromagnetic launch.

As a large amount of magic power was consumed, a satellite with a peculiar shape slowly took shape from the magic vortex, and was then placed on the platform at the starting end of the launch orbit by a team of large T-101s.

Unlike the square structure of Blue Star's traditional satellites, this satellite code-named "Sky Eye" has a perfect teardrop shape and its surface is covered with laminated armor similar to bird feathers.

These lattice-structured armors are actually self-repairing coatings. Each square centimeter contains one billion nanocapsules, which release boron nitrogen compounds at high temperatures and reconstruct the thermal protection layer within one ten-thousandth of a second.

The surface beneath the armor was polished to a very smooth, mirror-like finish, distorting the light in the tunnel...

After Chen Ming completed the materialization, the satellite test launch could finally begin.

The six-kilometer-long vacuum pipe was evacuated to a nearly vacuum state to minimize air friction.

Magnetic levitation tracks are laid along the entire length of the pipeline, and the walls are inlaid with electromagnetic coils.

They are uniformly programmed and controlled by [Crimson].

When a satellite is launched into contact with them, the electromagnetic wires are pre-energized, generating a strong magnetic field that pushes the satellite with a tremendous electromagnetic force. To withstand the extremely strong electromagnetic fields of these electromagnetic coils, the satellite even has to be equipped with seven layers of electromagnetic shielding, from the outer layer of superconducting graphene film to the innermost μ metal mesh...

The entire tunnel is equipped with countless such electromagnetic coils. With their concerted efforts, the satellite will be accelerated to 7982m/s in the vacuum tube!

At this time, the superconducting magnet array began to perform final self-test at a frequency of 0.1 Hz.

On the platform at the starting end of the launch orbit, the Tianyan satellite was strangely suspended in the air, with no ropes above and no support below. It just stood there motionless, as if it had always been there, with a strange mercury-like luster flowing on its surface.

Although there was no danger, the steady Chen Ming still chose to use [Teleportation] to return to the second floor of the villa.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Crimson’s ability, but he’s just being prepared.

The launch requires a large amount of electricity. If any accident causes power leakage, Chen Ming, who is standing at the side of the maglev launch site, may have to waste a [Golden Body of the Brilliant Moon].

But there is no such risk in the villa. He can hug Alpha and Elise on his left and right, sit comfortably on the sofa, and watch the launch scene displayed on the big screen in front of him.

You can even see the launch port on the top of the mountain behind you from afar through the window next to it.

"Activate active orbital cooling..."

As [Crimson]'s voice rang out, frost flowers suddenly condensed on the outer wall of the pipe, and the sound of liquid helium rushing in the superconducting coil was transmitted through the seismic sensor, as if an ancient giant beast was awakening.

"Cooling down complete, launch conditions met. Would you like to launch now?"

The holographic projection of [Crimson] appeared in front of Chen Ming and asked.

"emission!"

As soon as Chen Ming finished speaking, the whole world seemed to be muted.

The current in the superconducting coil climbed from zero to its peak value within 0.05 seconds, and the violent electromagnetic thrust turned into an invisible giant palm, fiercely ejecting the silver teardrop-shaped satellite.

The blue light erupting from the inner wall of the pipe obscured the entire large screen. When the picture returned to normal, the Tianyan satellite disappeared in a flash!

The moment it reached the end of the tunnel, the gate on the top of the mountain opened and closed in an instant, allowing the teardrop-shaped satellite to pass smoothly and hit the atmosphere.

In just 0.3 seconds, the temperature generated by intense friction will soar to 4200K, which is twice as high as the peak temperature when the space shuttle re-enters the atmosphere.

The head of the teardrop-shaped satellite instantly burned bright red. The lattice armor melted layer by layer, and the thermal shield maintained a delicate balance between consumption and reconstruction. The reflected heat burst into a dazzling light...

Chen Ming, who was in a state of enhanced magic, could only see a lightning bolt rising against the sky from a distance through the window next to him, and could not see clearly what was inside the lightning bolt.

In the blink of an eye, all that remained in sight was a dissipating ion trail, pointing obliquely from the top of the mountain to the sky.

It was not until 2 seconds later that Chen Ming heard a thunderclap coming from the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, the T-101 controlled by [Crimson] warned the maids of the thunder in advance and they were mentally prepared.

Otherwise, a lot of little maids might be scared to tears.

"Initial velocity 7982m/s, axial overload 55.9G, peak case temperature 4237K..."

The girl's voice, Crimson, was unusually volatile. "All subsystems are operating stably, and the orbital parameter error is less than 0.03%. We're about to enter orbit, at an altitude of approximately 550 kilometers..."

As she spoke, [Crimson] switched the launch scene displayed on the big screen to a virtual image she had calculated in real time.

A small dot, having penetrated the atmosphere, is moving away from the large circle below that represents the planet.

As the altitude continues to rise, the atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner, and the air resistance decreases rapidly!

But this is just a virtual image calculated.

Because the launched Sky Eye satellite has not yet been officially started, it has actually been temporarily out of the control of [Crimson]!

In other words, no one knows the true status of the Tianyan satellite.

The subsequent Sky Eye satellite operations were no longer carried out under the command of [Crimson], but were run based on pre-programmed programs.

Chen Ming held Alpha and Alixi and waited silently in the villa.

If everything goes well, in 90 seconds, [Crimson] will receive the signal sent back by the Sky Eye satellite.

This time shall not exceed 100 seconds.

If no signal is received from the satellite after 100 seconds, it means that the launch has failed.

At that time, we need to collect data and summarize experience, and then find the cause of the failure through multiple launches:

For example, if the satellite is traveling too fast and breaks free from the planet's gravity, the power of the electromagnetic coil can be reduced slightly next time.

Or maybe the satellite was a little slow, causing it to crash on the other side of the planet. Next time, just increase the power of the electromagnetic coil a little...

In short, it will definitely succeed in the end. The only suspense is how many attempts it will take to succeed?

Chen Ming was confident in the program reserved by [Crimson] on the satellite. Looking at the countdown that was shrinking on the virtual screen, his heart was full of anticipation.

At the same time, on the other side.

In orbit 550 kilometers above the Earth's surface, a metallic droplet floated silently. The lattice armor on its surface had just worn out, revealing a mirror-smooth outer shell, reflecting the planets and distant stars...

The metal water droplets maintain the first cosmic velocity on this planet, so they will not fall.

The silence lasted only ten seconds.

Ten seconds later, the metal droplet-like object suddenly made a slight noise.

Under the guidance of the reserved program, the omnidirectional particle jet control system on the satellite began to operate, and 128 micro vector jet nozzles suddenly emitted a faint light blue light at the same time, adjusting the satellite's attitude and orbit.

After reaching the predetermined orbit, the satellite slowly unfolds its antenna and solar panels.

In the manor villa, Chen Ming felt a little nervous as he looked at the virtual screen - 90 seconds had passed, but [Crimson] still hadn't received any return signal.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there are still 10 seconds left until the deadline."

Chen Ming comforted himself in this way.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the virtual image displayed on the big screen suddenly switched to a video shot by a satellite at an altitude of 550 kilometers.

Chen Ming finally saw the planet where World No. 1 was located and was immersed in the magnificent scenery on a celestial scale.
