The Pathfinder adjusted its orbit again and then opened the cargo bay to release the first artificial satellite for testing, the "Klot". After the central control computer of the satellite was started, it successfully connected with the artificial soul quantum computer in the command center, Eve. Then the magic thruster was activated under the control of the computer and slowly entered the recalculated orbit.
Originally, this satellite was used to test the hyperdrive communication and to observe Lorita and Loria with a telescope. However, after suddenly discovering the islands corrupted by demons, they decided to change the mission of the satellite to monitoring the corrupted islands after a simple impromptu meeting.
"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 image on the screen, the command center was filled with cheers. No one expected that the first satellite launch would be so successful.
Clotho was also filled with emotions. If he had not obtained enough data from the prehistoric civilization, grasped a large amount of new mathematical knowledge, and even obtained the formulas used by the prehistoric civilization to calculate various orbits, thus reducing a lot of work, not to mention launching a satellite, even going up to the sky would be a daydream.
"The satellite has entered the orbit. Hurry up and go back!"
Aurelia urged Tang En. Tang En nodded and looked at space reluctantly. The sea of stars was a man's romance …
Having lived two lives, even he did not expect that he would be able to go to outer space one day.
Although there were still many tests to be done — such as the burning effect of fire elements in a vacuum environment, the transmission efficiency of magic power, and so on.
He even wanted to test the possibility of a Legendary expert's body directly entering space …
Unfortunately, this test was too risky. Tang En did not dare to joke about his life and gave up after thinking about it.
Perhaps, after that, he could catch a demon of similar strength and throw it into space to see if it could survive.
"Okay, let's get ready to go back … Elijah?"
Tang En only then realized that Elijah's expression was a little strange. He suddenly remembered what Eutinia said before. Elijah was also a goddess!
Although Elijah had not woken up yet, who knew if the creatures of Chaos would notice her energy fluctuations? The pressure and distortion of the surrounding space caused by the power of gods was simply a natural signpost for them.
"… Ah, oh, yes …"
Elijah suddenly came back to her senses and smiled at Tang En. "I was a little distracted just now. It's quite beautiful here. Are we going back now? That's a pity. "
Tang En looked at the starry sky in the distance worriedly and then rubbed her head. He forced a smile and said, "If you like it, you can come again in the future. But now we have to rush back."
Eliya did not say anything and obediently allowed Tang En to tie her to the chair.
"Winette, you have to be good too. Come and sit properly."
"Okay, Dad!"
Winette … Now her body size had caught up with Elijah a few years ago, and her mind was also rapidly growing. She had become a seven or eight-year-old girl. Although she liked to move around, fortunately, she had not yet entered the rebellious stage and was still obedient for the time being.
This touched Tang En to the point of tears.
"Let's go."
Tang En signaled to Aiguin with his eyes and then started the engine. The spaceship began to dive toward Prandal. The huge acceleration and strong vibration made the entire spaceship tremble violently. The entire window in front of them was burning because of the friction of the air, and their vision was fiery red.
Tang En suddenly heard the alarm of the central control computer. "Warning, the side thrusters of the spaceship are loose and separated from the hull …"
What the f * ck!?
"Warning, the hull is spinning … Deviation from the landing route 0.12 degrees north … 0.13 degrees north …"
What the f * ck!!!
"Big brother! Are you okay?! Our ground crew noticed that you seem to be burning — Wait, they said that you're going in the wrong direction? "
Tang En could not help but curse. "The side thrusters are off! Without the ability to turn and reverse propulsion, how can the course be normal?! "
"Uh …"
"Who designed the landing plan of the spaceship?! And the connector of the side thrusters! "
"It's based on the plan of the spaceship …"
"You actually used the landing plan of a crashed spaceship?! And it's a spaceship piloted by goblins?! "
Tang En did not know what to say. Once he let his guard down, these guys would just copy everything. The landing plan of the other party's spaceship might be effective, but it was built on the basis of their engine power. The connection of the wing thrusters was also built on the basis of the high-strength alloy they had developed and the corresponding welding technology. Weren't they just asking for death by copying it?!
The flames in front of him gradually dissipated, but the vibration became more and more intense. 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 scenes, Tang En finally found a bit of the magical world again.
"Well, I'm now sure that this spaceship has lost its value."
When Tang En found that he had pulled out the operating lever, he completely gave up struggling.
Fortunately, this was Prandal, and they were the astronauts this time. Otherwise, this first space exploration operation would end in failure.
Central control computer: "Your Majesty, I think I can still save it …"
Tang En: "…"
Aiguin: "…"
Although he could take the opportunity to let the three of them leave the spaceship, and then directly put the spaceship into his Dimensional Pocket, the spaceship was about to fall apart, and there was almost no value in saving it.
However, the central control computer's words 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 it down?"
"Warning, the reverse thrusters have fallen off and cannot be activated. If the acceleration is too great, the hull structure will lose stability. The sudden activation of the gravity well will cause the hull to completely disintegrate. According to calculations, the debris will cover one-third of Ellington's area."
"Well … It seems that this method won't work …"
Brian shouted, "Big brother, the crash site has been determined. It's thirteen kilometers away from Golden Lake Town in Kasparmi territory … There are only thirty seconds left before the crash … If you want to act, please act quickly."
"My friend, if it can be saved, it's best to save it."
Next to him, Clotho was also anxious. After all, this was the first real spaceship he had handled. This spaceship had passed the test of take-off, the test of being sealed in space, the test of radiation, and the test of high and low temperatures. If it crashed in the end, it would be too embarrassing.
How would the history books record Prandal's first spaceflight in the future?
Clotho said, "Although it's about to fall apart now, it can allow us to further study how it falls apart, the strength of the structure, and other defects …"
"Don't make excuses, Clotho."
Brian next to him mercilessly exposed his cover up. "Actually, you're just afraid of losing face, right? Don't I know you?"
Clotho: "…"
Damn, who said dwarves were honest? This guy's mouth was so cheap that it made people want to tear him apart … He was good at exposing people's shortcomings!
"Okay, okay, you're all big shots!"
Tang En was helpless. He looked at the instantaneous speed on the dashboard and shook his head.
"What should we do?"
Aiguin looked at the ground getting closer and closer and also became nervous. "Twenty seconds left."
Tang En said helplessly, "What else can we do? Use the hand brake! "
A huge amount of magic power rushed out of his body and instantly formed a Hand of Magic hundreds of meters in size outside the spaceship. After maintaining a relatively static speed with the spaceship, the Hand of Magic gripped the spaceship, and then … it began to slowly increase the force to stop the spaceship from falling!
At the same time, Aiguin also released her pure magic power to strengthen the hull of the spaceship so that it would not be torn in half by the power of the Hand of Magic and its own acceleration.
"Damn! Big brother, you're amazing! You can even think of the 'hand brake' method!? "
Brian took a sip of beer and looked at the huge Hand of Magic in the sky, dumbfounded. It was pulling the spaceship as if it were walking a dog.
Hearing the creaking sound of the spaceship, Tang En scolded angrily, "If you could make the spaceship more stable, I wouldn't have to be so troublesome! — Ouch, f * ck you and you're still running! Stop right there! "
The Hand of Magic controlled by Tang En desperately pulled the spaceship back. The spaceship accelerated from hundreds of thousands of meters in the sky. With such speed and its own weight, the energy contained in the spaceship was not much less than that of a meteorite. It was not easy to pull it back.
However, such a terrible force was still forcibly offset by Tang En's Hand of Magic!
The speed of the spaceship finally fell to a normal range and was still accelerating. When the speed fell to a threshold value, the central control computer immediately started the Gnome Gravity Well. Under the effect of anti-gravity, the spaceship that was about to fall apart immediately hovered in mid-air.
"Well, it can be considered a successful landing for the time being."
Tang En sighed. "Don't announce the news of almost crashing. The people need some confidence. Just announce that we've landed successfully."
"That's the best."
Klotto hurriedly nodded. "Hurry up and drive the spaceship back. We're still waiting to analyze the cause of the accident."
"The engine has fallen off. How can it fly! Just you wait! "
Tang En said angrily. "After I drag it back, send someone to check the predicted crash site of the engine. Hopefully, there won't be any accidents."
"Understood."
Tang En pretended to have landed successfully and dragged the spaceship back to Ellington with great difficulty. However, as soon as he got off the spaceship, the spaceship almost fell apart. He had to continue accompanying Klotto and the others to send the spaceship back to the assembly workshop.
At this time, Elijah, who had gotten off the spaceship, sent Winette home and quietly went out again …
