Someone didn't bother to give a different name to this very commemorative and first artificial satellite in the mysterious land. Instead, he directly used the name of the project. That was, the words "artificial satellite" with the addition of "No. 1" at the end.
But to be honest, it had only been a few months from the project to the production stage. Many of the parts were directly designed using existing magic devices, and there were not many parts that were really redesigned. Most of the time was spent on integrating the existing designs.
The part of the program was mainly based on the robot control program that Fen and the dwarves had been working on together. Because the most valuable part of that program was the functional linkage control of the various parts and the coordination of the movement patterns of the various parts.
But what kind of changes these designs would have when they were sent to space, Lin had no clue at all. After all, he had never done such a thing. At best, he only knew about it and then filled in everything with his imagination and the existing technology at hand.
It was precisely because of this that Artificial Satellite No. 1 had a very heavy experimental nature, so Lin decided to use high-quality ordinary magic stones in series with batteries instead of finding a way to install a small energy pool for a magic tower on it. After all, the cost and risk of the two were of different levels.
If the artificial satellite was compared to a car, the version on Earth was a top-notch product built by a professional team of professional racers with the cooperation of a car manufacturer. The version in front of him in the mysterious land was an assembled car built by a layman in a warehouse with a lot of ready-made parts.
But the ugly daughter-in-law had to meet her parents-in-law. When the dwarves built the parts one by one according to the design and assembled them. Even Fen suspended her robot research and joined the team that built the artificial satellite. All the remote control functions were tested on the ground without any problems. Then the only thing left was to send it to space.
The various planetary parameters in the mysterious land were similar to that of Earth except for two satellites, so they had similar climate and environment. Including the height of the synchronous orbit, after calculation, it was about the same value as Earth's 35,786 kilometers, but it was a little closer. This was because the mysterious land was slightly smaller than Earth, but the error was also less than one percent.
This meant that Lin had to use Blink to teleport the object to a location 35,000 kilometers away in one breath. This distance was far greater than the long-distance teleportation that he had used before for his own movement. At that time, he suddenly thought that teleporting back to the house in the Wulian City neighborhood was only a little more than a thousand kilometers away.
Of course, this was a far cry from using the Blink Spell to teleport back to Earth. In order to calculate that number, Lin also designed a variable that took up more memory space and expanded its range of values. Then, looking at the string of numbers that was even taller than him, he suddenly had the feeling that life was short and that he should enjoy it while he could.
In short, when everything was ready to send the first man-made satellite in the history of this lost land into space, Lin and the others chose to wait outside of Pilsen City, in an open space with fewer people. Not in the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying. It was mainly because he was afraid that some unexpected situations might occur. It didn't feel good to do this kind of thing in a densely populated area.
He used a carriage to transport the strangely shaped artificial satellite made of various magic materials to the predetermined location. The group wasn't in a hurry to retrieve the items. Instead, they needed to make some preparations to deal with the side effects of Blink.
Considering that if everything went well, this artificial satellite would only need to be teleported once through Blink. If one wanted to cover its exterior with a complete magic array that could resist the contamination of high-dimensional energies and could be used repeatedly, its volume would most likely be at least ten times larger than the current one. From all aspects, that wasn't the best choice.
If it was a temporary protection, they should be able to find a simpler way. After discussing with Fen, the only person who had knowledge in this area, who was also able to use Blink, the two of them designed a magic circle based on Fen's research. The magic circle could protect the objects that were teleported out of the magic circle from being contaminated by Blink's high-dimensional energy.
According to someone's habit of not wanting to leave too many footprints, they first rejected the idea of directly drawing on the ground in the wilderness. Instead, they spent a lot of effort to lay down a layer of paper used to make magic scrolls. Although the cost of doing so was very expensive, it could be used everywhere in the future. However, because it was made of paper, there was a certain chance of it being damaged. It couldn't be used as a portable device that could be used forever.
Moreover, this magic array also required some auxiliary ritual tools and, of course, magic stones to provide energy. After a busy morning, they finally finished setting up the protective magic array that was no simpler than the original teleportation portal in the lost land.
Finally, with the cooperation of the four dwarves, they finally placed the rather heavy artificial satellite in the center of the magic array.
Well, they were hungry. They weren't in a hurry to send the things to the sky. The group of dwarves had a picnic. The food was all prepared in the courtyard before they left.
Two girls and the dwarves who had never been to the surface world for most of their lives were happily chatting. The one-eyed girl was also there … Molgit had been coming to eat and drink for a while. According to her, she was not welcome anywhere in Pilsen City. Only two girls from other places were willing to accept her.
However, a certain someone felt that before this, a girl with great myopia and abnormal strength would make people avoid her like the plague no matter where she appeared. According to the girl's previous behavior, even if she didn't hurt anyone, she would have smashed a bunch of things.
But now that she was wearing the glasses and was starting to get used to it, she was no longer as impatient as before. It was just that the others might not get used to this one-eyed girl in a short period of time. She would naturally get close to the person who made the glasses for her — Halumi. Speaking of which, that girl was only helping her with the final touches and adjusting the degree of light. The person who really did the work was here!
But someone didn't really care about this. If the credit went to that girl, then so be it. If he really got entangled with that one-eyed cow, it would be very troublesome. The man who was eating a sandwich while doing the final adjustments to the various functions of the artificial satellite thought so sourly.
Speaking of which, the sandwich in his hand was also a story of blood and tears. After transmigrating to the Lost Land, the staple food was bread, bread, black bread, bread that was as hard as a brick, bread that could be used as a weapon, or mashed potatoes, fresh mashed potatoes, smelly mashed potatoes, and all kinds of fancy mashed potatoes.
This was after the conditions were met, a greedy person thought of ways to filter the flour and the baking machine to make this kind of loose and soft toast that could be cut into slices. After that, there were all kinds of fancy combinations of toast, which gave more choices in the variety of food.
The most difficult thing to adapt to after transmigrating to the Lost Land was the food. If they had transmigrated to another country with a foodie paradise, then so be it. However, in most of the Lost Land, it was already a blessing to be able to live well under the threat of nature. Most people didn't care about food at all.
Why couldn't the fat otakus get fat after transmigrating? There was only one reason: the food was too bad.
After everything was ready and he adjusted his mood to the best state, Lin Yao calculated the parameters needed to teleport the artificial satellite to an altitude of more than 35,000 kilometers with Blink.
It wasn't quite right to call it "calculation." For someone, the actual operation was just "looking" at the destination or giving certain conditions. The program engraved on the Dream Magic Tower would instantly give the parameters needed for Blink and fill in the relevant program. Then, all he needed to do was cast the spell.
If it were a real scene, it would be like someone looking at the destination and teleporting there with a thought. The so-called "calculation" was actually the work done in the background. Someone didn't directly know the values of the parameters or directly cast the spell.
It would be more troublesome if he had to extract the parameters and give them to another person so that the other person could move to the same or nearby location as he did. At the very least, it would take time to operate and transmit the data.
If he wanted to move an object other than himself, under the condition of contact, he would be able to bring the object with him in Blink. It would be no different from him moving in Blink independently. It was just that his body would be larger in size.
However, if he wanted to move an object other than himself, he would need a lot of calculation time, and he would not be able to bring it along with him. At the very least, he needed the reference coordinates of the target and the observation coordinates of the destination in order to calculate the relative position and distance between the two. Then, he needed the parameters needed for Blink.
After the calculation was done, Lin Yao asked Kaya to turn on the monitoring programs remotely connected to the artificial satellite and the scanning settings for the Arcane Eye on the ground. Although this satellite was loaded with a lot of functions, it didn't have any deformation to change the mode of the functions used. It was just that everything was connected to the outside. At most, he could adjust the position of the nozzles to change the direction of the aim.
Therefore, the best way to confirm whether or not this artificial satellite was functioning normally was to directly receive the data sent back by the higher-ups. If there was, it would be normal. If there wasn't, it would be abnormal. As for the monitoring programs, they were nothing more than the basic data of the environment where the satellite was located, such as height, temperature, humidity, speed, integrity of the shell, and so on.
However, not all the devices had to be turned on at the same time. The energy supply installed on the satellite didn't support that. Therefore, Lin Yao chose to scan the ground with the Arcane Eye as the first spell to be used from outer space.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, a certain someone pretended to count down ten seconds. As soon as the voice of "zero seconds" came out, the artificial satellite instantly disappeared from the center of the magic array. Everybody followed Lin Yao's eyes and looked up at the object that was too small to be seen by the naked eye at an altitude of more than thirty thousand kilometers.
