Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Bai Yixuan and the other three were suddenly startled.

The next moment, they understood what Lu Yongchang meant.

Bai Yixuan suppressed his laughter and nodded vigorously: "Professor Lu, you are right!"

"Okay, no more gossiping." Lu Yongchang from the command center straightened his expression, "There are still five minutes until takeoff, be ready!"

"yes!"

…

"Hello everyone, there are still five minutes left before the take-off time of Xuannv 2."

Bingbing's slightly sweet voice sounded in the live broadcast room: "We just got some information about Xuannv 2 from NASA."

"Xuannv 2, the fuselage length is 60 meters and the payload is 80 meters."

"The longest flight distance is 6.68 astronomical units, and the maximum flight speed is 167km/s."

Speaking of this, Bingbing added again: "Although the maximum speed reaches 167km/s, this is the result of full acceleration."

"Taking into account the acceleration and deceleration time, it will take Xuannv 2 about fifteen days to successfully reach the orbit of Mars."

"In addition, with the help of the second-generation Hall thruster, Xuannv 2 takes off and lands vertically."

As Bingbing's words fell, two faint blue flames spurted out from the bottom of Xuannv No. 2 in the live broadcast screen!

Driven by two Hall thrusters, Xuannv 2 slowly lifted off.

"Fuck! Fuck!"

“Honey, come out and see God!!”

"Good guy, vertical take-off and landing! This technology... Xia Guo didn't steal a UFO, right?"

Amid everyone's exclamations, five blue nozzles gradually appeared at the tail of Xuannv 2.

The next moment, Xuannv No. 2 dragged a long tail flame and flew straight towards the blue sky!

"Huh?? Why do I feel that Xuannv No. 2 is not very fast?"

"I feel it too. This speed... doesn't seem to be much different from an ordinary passenger plane?"

"Would NASA report false data?"

Through the screen on the side, the host Bingbing immediately noticed the various doubts in the barrage.

She hurriedly explained: "Due to the shape of the fuselage, Xuannv 2 does not fly very fast in the atmosphere."

"The top speed is only about Mach 0.7, which is not much different from an ordinary passenger plane."

…

Xuan Nu No. 2.

The faces of the three astronauts were full of boredom.

"Captain, I still like Xuannv No. 1."

Hong Fan leaned back on the chair and said with dull eyes: "This thing is too slow..."

"Mach 0.7...that's slower than the plane my grandma flew!"

"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" Xia Wanyi choked on her own saliva and glared at Hong Fan angrily.

"That's right..." Seeing Xia Wanyi's angry eyes, Hong Fan sneered, scratched his head and said, "At this speed, it will take us a long time to get out of the earth, right?"

Faced with Hong Fan's complaints, Bai Yixuan twisted his body that was tightly restrained by the seat belt, and a wry smile flashed across his face.

Not to mention Hong Fan, even he thinks this thing is slow!

But as the captain, he still has to do a good job of appeasement.

"Calm down, calm down."

"When the altitude is high enough and the air becomes thinner, we can speed up!"

Hong Fan stared blankly at the clouds in front of him and sighed deeply.

…

Ground command center.

Looking at the series of data sent back by Xuannv 2, Lu Yongchang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense look on his face relaxed a lot.

"Yongchang, I have your letter!"

Just as Lu Yongchang was about to turn around and leave the podium, Fang Xu's voice came from the side.

He turned around and looked at the two letters in Fang Xu's hand, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"My letter?"

As he reached out to take the envelope, he frowned and muttered to himself: "What age is this? There are still people sending letters?"

"By the way, have you checked these two letters? Are they okay?"

Fang Xu looked a little weird and said: "Don't worry, if there is something wrong with these two letters, our Xia Kingdom will probably be doomed..."

Lu Yongchang was stunned and quickly looked at the signature on the envelope.

"Xia Academy of Sciences"

"Xia Guo Science and Technology Awards Office"

Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly turned to look at the calendar beside him.

2031.9.5

He realized something instantly.

"This is the academician selection year?"

Hearing Lu Yongchang's question, Fang Xu smiled and nodded slightly: "Congratulations, in a few days, we should change our name to Academician Lu!"

The corners of Lu Yongchang's mouth raised slightly.

Although he knew that this title was just a dispensable title for him, as the highest academic title in science and technology in Xia State, he was still somewhat obsessed with it.

"How come the results are out so quickly this year?"

Lu Yongchang reached out to open the letter from the Academy of Sciences and said, "Didn't the results usually come out around November?"

In his impression, Xia's academicians were elected every two years, and each election was conducted from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Only after layers of screening and evaluation can one stand out from hundreds of candidates and become an academician.

Fang Xu rolled his eyes angrily: "That's for normal people."

"Don't you look at how much you have done this year?"

"If there were no procedures, I guess the old guys in the Academy would have awarded you the title of academician at the beginning of this year!"

This is not nonsense.

He heard some rumors as early as the beginning of the year.

The Academy of Sciences held a special meeting for the selection of Lv Yongchang as an academician.

At the meeting, the review team had a heated discussion on when to award Lv Yongchang the title of academician.

According to the review team, the sooner the title of academician is given, the better!

After all, judging from the current achievements, if Lv Yongchang does not become an academician, there will be only a few people left in the Academy of Sciences who are qualified to be called academicians.

However, in order not to break the rules, this time was delayed to September, just more than two months ahead of schedule.

"Dear Professor Lv Yongchang, congratulations..."

Looking at the words in the letter, Lv Yongchang's eyes showed a little smile.

After a year of rebirth, he became an academician of Xia again.

It's a pity that no one has contacted him yet, otherwise, he might have become the so-called chief scientist.

Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang's eyes showed some interest.

Why not find an opportunity to talk to the chairman of the parliament about the Human Union?

After all, the current strength of Xiaguo is enough to suppress those countries that like to make small moves!

"Don't you want to see another letter?"

Fang Xu's voice came, interrupting Lu Yongchang's thoughts.

"Huh? What is this?" Lu Yongchang was stunned and opened another letter.

"Xiaguo's National Highest Science and Technology Award?!"
