If there was an urgent need to build a batch of spaceships, China would be the best choice.
Especially since the international space team had integrated a large number of relevant resources, China was one of the only countries that did not participate in the space team project. It was Lan Mu's only choice.
China's strength was enough to support the construction of long-distance spaceships. It was even more suitable than the United States.
Their mobilization and execution capabilities were top-notch. They were second only to the United States in the aerospace field.
However, this was not a problem at all. Lan Mu could give China the technology from the United States, including controllable nuclear fusion energy.
In addition to the beam navigation technology, quantum computer technology, superconducting material technology, hibernation technology, and the Lan Bai Society's super alloy and nanotechnology leaked from the international space team, it seemed to form the foundation of an interstellar spaceship.
The only thing missing was the in-cabin life support system and detector technology.
The former was easy to solve. It was just air regeneration, water treatment, and recycling. As for the air pressure control and temperature control, it was even easier. The quantum computer could take care of these. Everything could be done with energy. Now, he had solved the energy problem.
The fuel space required for controllable nuclear fusion had shrunk by hundreds of times. This gave the spaceship more space. These spaces could store more elements, which could be used to create water and oxygen to create a small ecological environment. Thus, the food problem was solved.
It was equivalent to solving the energy problem. It solved more than half of the problems of long-distance spaceships.
Now, the biggest problem left was the detector technology. The most important part of the detector technology was how to maintain stable long-distance communication.
Advanced human signals were too easy to interfere with in the universe.
The universe was full of dangers. If they couldn't detect the environment in advance, it would be a disaster if something happened.
Detecting celestial bodies and space debris involved the problem of communication speed and signal strength. In the vast distance, if the communication was delayed, it would be too late to avoid the danger.
Lan Mu did not know how to solve this problem for the time being. However, this did not prevent him from building the spaceship first.
This was a truly massive project, and its significance to mankind was self-evident. Lan Mu would provide the technology, and the rest would be left to Hua Nation.
"With what identity? Ordinary people? Haha … They can't even get in, right? Civilian scientists? Or just send it to their database? It will definitely be suspected, and it will take a long time to verify and experiment. They won't agree with the technical information right away. "
"Let the United States send technology directly to China? No matter how he thought about it, it didn't make sense … Was he a traitor to Merrica? This is also a matter of trust … "
"Not only do I have to make them quickly believe in the practicality of this technology, but I also have to make them take it seriously and build long-distance spaceships …"
"Looks like I'll have to make a trip there personally to negotiate with the higher-ups of Hua nation."
… …
"What? Transforming a small spaceship into a sphere? What's the use of that? "
Hearing Lan Mu's words, the technicians were stunned. They had worked so hard to come up with a new energy source, but instead of installing it on the spacecraft, they wanted to create an original spaceship. It was fine if it was an original spaceship, but it had to be a spherical one.
"You've misunderstood me. All I want is an escape pod. Just build it well and implement the technology I've given you."
Lan Mu asked Lan Baishe to provide all kinds of materials, technology, and quantum computers. However, according to his requirements, the final product would only be a single-person spacecraft, and it definitely wouldn't have long-distance flight capabilities. It would be a waste of the controllable nuclear fusion engine.
The spherical spaceship was in a rush. In order to use it as soon as possible, they had to sacrifice the calibration time. However, this way, they would only be able to fly to the moon's synchronous orbit at most. If they wanted to return safely, the calibration and adjustments would take at least three days.
However, Lan Mu didn't plan to return safely at all. He directly asked them to build a nondescript spherical spaceship.
To be precise, this was an emergency escape pod. However, this escape pod wouldn't be carried on any spaceship, and it would be used independently.
"Chief engineer, this is the spacesuit you asked for." A person delivered a spacesuit according to Lan Mu's instructions.
Lan Mu looked at it and cried. According to his requirements, the spacesuit couldn't have the characteristics of the people from Earth. It had to be modified into a unique, alien feeling.
This stumped the group of bloodlings. They couldn't design a spacesuit that didn't have the characteristics of the people from Earth. Who the hell knew what a spacesuit would look like? In the end, they chose to use a machine program to randomly process the spacesuit and came up with an extremely ugly spacesuit.
"It really doesn't have any traces of human aesthetics …" Lan Mu shook his head. He directly operated the computer and designed the spacesuit himself.
The random spacesuit was too ugly, and it wasn't even symmetrical.
"You don't have to do everything according to my requirements. As long as the spacesuit perfectly conforms to the mechanics and structure of the spacesuit, it will still be different."
Soon, he designed a brand new spacesuit. It looked quite harmonious, and it was much more advanced than the existing spacesuits. Lan Mu handed it over to his subordinates to modify.
The next morning, there were six hours left until the end of his mandatory period.
A spherical spacesuit with a diameter of three meters was built. The surface was pure white, and the interior was integrated with nanotechnology. It had a self-repairing function.
There was also a quantum computer installed to control the air pressure, temperature, and humidity. Of course, due to time constraints, the life support system couldn't operate stably. It was just an empty shell, but the technology was real.
The most important thing was the power source, which represented the highest level of human technology.
As for the detection and communication functions, Lan Mu directly eliminated them. He didn't want them at all.
Thus, a strange spacesuit that contained most of the technology of a long-distance spaceship, but had no practical use at all, was born.
"Very good, can it fly?" Lan Mu put on the spacesuit and sat in the spacesuit.
"Yes … but it's very unsafe," the blood breed engineer said.
"It's fine, it's just not safe!"
…
Other than the blood breeds, no one knew. A junk spaceship that represented the highest level of human technology was flying from Houston to outer space.
It reached the first cosmic speed in a short period of time, and it was still accelerating.
Because the initial speed was fast enough, other than the initial instability and almost spinning, it smoothly flew out of the atmosphere.
With Lan Mu's telekinetic correction, it finally entered the satellite orbit safely.
Lan Mu's data dominated all the satellites and detectors that could see him, so no one discovered the spacesuit until it was 500 kilometers away from the atmosphere.
"That's not far enough … About 800 kilometers."
Lan Mu looked at the vast starry sky. From his point of view, it was simply too vast.
The Milky Way was like a belt of light, cutting across a little bit above the ecliptic plane.
It was difficult to see such a beautiful starry sky on Earth, the light of civilization covered it. He still remembered when he was young, he could still see the Milky Way at night, but with the rapid development of the country, the children could no longer see the Milky Way. At most, they could see the bright Sirius.
"The development of civilization is necessary. If we don't pursue the ultimate beauty of the universe, what's the point?"
"However, the environment and the Zerg shackled humanity and sooner or later, they will devour humanity's hope, and I can shorten the time to enter the galaxy …"
Looking away from the starry sky, Lan Mu stared at the equally beautiful Earth.
"The China Aerospace Base is in Gan Province and Neimen, did it crash there?"
"No, although there are many talents gathered there, they have no power. The final decision is made by the country, and my appearance directly affects the political level."
"So … Beijing?"
The space capsule was orbiting the outermost circle of the Earth's satellite orbit. The thrusters began to become unstable, causing the space capsule to deviate from the established orbit. This was a temporary one-off item.
"The thrusters are about to break down, I just entered space …"
"The China National Space Administration is the only one who can formulate the development plan, and to start such a huge project, the country needs to make the decision … Let's go to Beijing and find an open space to crash to avoid casualties."
The thrusters adjusted the angle, and the space capsule flew toward Earth.
Because his data dominated and blocked all satellite detection of the space capsule, so until now, no force had discovered this unusual uninvited guest.
When the space capsule passed through the outer layer, it was pulled by the gravity of Earth and continued to descend, falling toward the ground like a meteor.
The atmosphere rubbed against the surface of the capsule, and the high temperature caused a faint fire that was inconspicuous.
Because the space capsule was different from previous spacecraft, its surface was made of superalloy material, which was the true main material of a long-distance spacecraft. The high temperature of the friction was not enough to burn it, so the fire that enveloped the capsule was the flame of gas combustion.
When the space capsule fell in the atmosphere, the Chinese observatory finally discovered this "meteorite".
"Meteorite discovered, about three meters in diameter, is being burned by the atmosphere …"
"Wait! It's not being burned by the atmosphere! "
The observation center in Mohe, China, was alarmed. An ordinary staff member on duty noticed the anomaly and hurriedly called out to his colleagues who were eating breakfast in the cafeteria through the radio.
At the same time, he used the computer to build a data model to estimate the size of the meteorite that would not be burned by the atmosphere.
More and more people rushed over, and the person said, "Oh no, it's going to fall near Beijing's Jiulong Mountain!"
"What! Why didn't we discover it in advance? "
"I don't know, the satellite can't detect the target at all, and all the signals go around it normally. If it wasn't for the fact that it was heading toward Beijing and I happened to catch it with the telescope, we probably wouldn't have discovered it until it fell to the ground. Fortunately, it's very small …"
"It's affecting the signal and deceiving the satellite! The surface is extremely heat-resistant, this is man-made … What is it? "
"Look, this is the image shown by the telescope."
The screen immediately showed the space capsule falling in the atmosphere, the silver metal ball, and the thrusters. Everyone was stunned.
"Which country's space junk fell from?"
"It could also be an unconventional space weapon … Its purpose is unknown!"
