Chapter 1396: Getting to Lolita

The anti-gravity engine propelled the Explorer to rise smoothly into the air, soon surpassing the height of the floating island fortress, and then the spacecraft continued to climb, the height continued to increase, and the surrounding temperature began to continue to drop. The temperature dropped below zero and the light began to dim.
In space exploration, the hardest step is to get the heavy spaceship out of the ground and into space. In order to counter gravity, at least nine percent of the fuel carried on the rocket was lost in the process, but in Prendall, due to the goblins The existence of gravity wells, such as prehistoric black technology, and the existence of various technologies such as floating stones and anti-gravity magic, allowed Tang En to overtake the curve, quickly break through key technologies, and enter the space field.
This smooth climbing experience makes the passengers on the spacecraft feel very fresh, especially those strong men who have never left Prendall.
They looked down at the earth through portholes. The earth was getting farther and farther, and the flat land began to curve in the distance. As their altitude climbed further, soon the horizon of Prandall appeared in their vision.
"Now that we have reached the stratosphere, the temperature outside is about zero degrees ..."
Liviz sighed: "Oh? No, the temperature just dropped to minus forty degrees just now? Why did the temperature get higher and the outside temperature increased?"
Klotto explained: "That's because the stratosphere is rich in ozone, so its upper part is heated because it absorbs a lot of ultraviolet rays from the sun, so the temperature rises due to the height. The temperature at the top of the stratosphere It is hovering around minus three degrees, which is about the same as the surface temperature, but after breaking through this area, the temperature will drop again with height, and it will soon drop to more than two hundred degrees below zero, which is very scary. "
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the concept of more than 200 degrees below zero. Cloto had to show him what it was like-he controlled the robotic arm, threw a fruit into space, and then tapped it directly. It becomes dust.
He saw this scene stupefied: "Will the spaceship we are flying into also be fragmented?"
Croto said angrily: "If we can't even solve this problem, would we dare to come to space?"
His words did inadvertently reassure several other people. Although most of them present here are notable strong men, they have never tried it in person, and none of them dare to guarantee that they can survive in the universe.
After breaking through the stratosphere, the altitude has exceeded 80 kilometers, and then the anti-gravity engine is turned off, and the power source is smoothly switched to the magic energy engine. After the spacecraft passes the attitude adjustment, the bow of the ship is aligned with the Lolita in the distance, and then the tail A light blue magic torrent spewed out, pushing the spacecraft to continuously accelerate towards Lolita.
In space exploration, in addition to the very difficult initial stage of the planet's atmosphere, another technical problem that is very difficult to solve is the problem of the power source of the spacecraft's engine in distant space travel.
The traditional working medium engine propels the aircraft forward through the continuous consumption of fuel. The technology of this engine is relatively simple, but the problem is that the working medium engine needs to consume a considerable amount of fuel to propel the aircraft to its destination. The more fuel, The greater the impetus needed, the more difficult it is to escape from the planet ... this is an endless cycle.
In space travel, the best choice is a refrigerantless engine-but physics cannot allow this fantastic engine to appear (Emdrive cannot be considered a success for the time being and is not considered), even in the world of Prendall, It is also impossible to achieve a refrigerantless engine.
However, in this world, there is a very cheap, very high energy density per unit energy-that is magic.
Void energy decays into psionic energy, psionic energy decays into magic power. After the high-density psionic energy decays, a magic crystal will be formed. At the same time, after the magic power is enriched in the living body, it will also form a magic core, magic pool and the like. It is very efficient energy.
Therefore, although Tang En has not developed a refrigerantless engine, the energy efficiency of the magic engine is far beyond that of ordinary refrigerants. Therefore, in space travel, he can disregard the orbital factor and he can be free from regrets. Consumption magic speeds up in a very short period of time, allowing the spacecraft to reach a very high speed, so that it can reach Lolita soon.
"Is this what you mean by weightlessness? Oh, this feeling is really great!"
As the spaceship got farther and farther from Prendall, Riviez felt that the effect of gravity was disappearing from them. Soon, he couldn't feel his bloated body. The feeling of breathing effortlessly made him almost burst into tears with happiness.
Although other goblins don't care about Rivyz's bloated body, there are still a lot of inconveniences in being overweight, and he can't stand it.
"It's fresh."
Jean closed his eyes and let himself float freely in the cabin: "It's not the same as using flying or floating, there is a feeling of ... more freedom and relaxation, just like your body has disappeared . "
Everyone else was experiencing a fresh weightless experience at this time. Even Aegwin, who hadn't been silent for a while, was now full of surprise.
Tang En, who experienced weightlessness for the first time, was similar to them at the moment, excited like a child.
While they were having fun, the Explorer suddenly sounded an alarm: "Warning, a large unidentified object was found in front of the route, and an impact is expected to occur in a minute."
Down, they all held their breath when they heard the alert, followed by him and Klotto back to the front of the console: "Show obstacle images!"
The next moment, an image of the detected object was projected in the center of the lobby.
"hiss!"
When Tang En saw the thing, he took a cold breath, and the whole man couldn't help trembling.
It was a space base that was so badly damaged that it had almost lost its full shape and was floating in space.
"What is that?"
After they saw the projection in the hall, Yustisha also stunned. The structure and appearance of this kind of thing contradicted their common sense, so they couldn't understand it.
"space station."
Tang En muttered, "I'm afraid it has been floating in space for thousands of years. The space station left by prehistoric civilization."
According to common sense, a space station that has lost its power cannot float in space for so long. It will be affected by the gravitational force of the planet, gradually approach the planet, and eventually be affected by the friction of the atmosphere. , Either burned out in the atmosphere or crashed into the sea.
But now, what appeared to them was a space station that had been severely damaged and could not even distinguish the shape ... This was very unscientific.
The overall structure of this space station is on the verge of collapse, and most of the area has been distorted and deformed. Some of it appears to have been hit by asteroids and has been seriously damaged. The whole looks so riddled that it has no potential value at all.
Perhaps, its only value now is to tell Tang En them that in this world, there has been an extremely advanced prehistoric civilization.
"This should be the space station that survived the disaster 10,000 years ago."
Yustissa slowly said, "If it had been hit positively, it wouldn't exist now."
"The question is, is there anything valuable for recycling?"
Tang En is more concerned about the materials of prehistoric civilization.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, even if it is still in the beginning, after so many years of radiation erosion, it may not be left."
The environment in space is very harsh. The huge temperature difference and strong radiation environment are not good for data storage, and the entire space station has also lost its protection of the environment, and nothing can be left behind.
"let it go."
Tang En gave up his intention to slow down, and directly informed the Explorer that the course had been changed, and continued to fly towards Lolita after bypassing the obstacles.
Perhaps that space station was once brilliant, but now, it is just a ghost floating in space and has no value.
After the Explorer skipped from the dark space station side, it continued to fly towards Lolita at a very high speed.
More than ten hours passed in an instant, and the Explorer soon approached Lolita and began to enter the reverse deceleration mode. At this time, people on the spacecraft could even see the crater above Lolita with the naked eye.
Looking at Lolita getting closer, at this time, the people on the spacecraft finally understood why Lolita would be a pink satellite-a pink grows everywhere on the surface of Lolita. A lot of pink crystals form huge clusters of up to one thousand meters, reflecting the light from Lumbica, so people in Prendall will see pink.
"Is this another magic crystal?"
Angus looked at the huge crystal cluster with anticipation: "If you guess correctly, the magic of this magic crystal is probably stronger than what we use now!"
After hearing what he said, Tang En suddenly began to look forward to it. If the pink crystal cluster is really another energy form after the psionic energy decays, they have more choices.
A moment later, an exclamation sounded from the spacecraft, and the passengers quickly gathered beside the porthole, scrambling to look outside.
"My God! This, this is simply amazing!"
"At this time, I finally understand the significance of the space exploration program that Her Majesty Tang has been promoting ..."
"That's what the prehistoric civilization left us, the most direct evidence, right?"
