My Clone Empire

Near the equator in the northern part of the Republic of Mali, there is a military exclusion zone of several hundred square kilometers.

Five large military bases surround this restricted area in the middle. The outermost layer is a layer of high-voltage electric wire mesh fence, and the inner layer of four-meter high earth wall completely isolates this area from the outside world.

Standing on a distant hill, you can see through binoculars the five skyscrapers and a gray concrete tower that stand in the military exclusion zone.

All the buildings in this area are equipped with biological displays. When there are activities, there will be a large biological display to cover the entire camp, so that the outside world cannot find out what the hell is going on in this area through satellites. .

On February 1, 2021, the weather was clear and cloudless.

A convoy of ten Athlon-class armored vehicles is slowly heading towards this military restricted area.

Several gunships flew quickly over the convoy, but these gunships stopped advancing when they approached the military restricted area, but stayed outside an invisible cordon.

Within ten kilometers of this military restricted area is a no-fly zone. Neither military aircraft nor civilian aircraft can approach it. There are as many as ten anti-aircraft guns and various types of anti-aircraft missiles in the base monitoring this airspace at all times.

When the convoy came to a military base that served as the entrance, dozens of soldiers in strong military armor walked out of the open gate carrying heavy machine guns and individual rockets, and came to the convoy with vigilance.

"Show your documents!" A guard came to the front of the armored car and patted the body.

"It's me." The side armor of a black elongated armored vehicle in the middle of the convoy was slashed upwards, revealing a thick layer of bulletproof glass. Tang Shizhe sat inside and sent the dead man standing above the gate. spiritual information.

"The boss is here, open the door!" The dead man nodded and pressed several switches in front of him. At this time, the second gate began to cross to both sides, revealing a road leading to the base.

Tang Shizhe's body armor was closed again, and the team accelerated into the base.

More than ten minutes later, Tang Shizhe came to the huge tower in the center of the entire military restricted area.

Below this 150-meter-high concrete-poured tower is a huge three-kilometer deep pit. Standing above the deep pit, you can see layers of flashing lights in the deep pit.

"How are the preparations?" Tang Shizhe and others got on an elevator embedded in the deep pit and began to descend toward the ground.

"The fuel has been filled, just waiting for your order." A researcher in charge of leading the way pushed his glasses nervously.

Since his company was acquired by the Titan Group, he has been assigned to this military base, where he has spent all his energy on the building under them for a year and a half!

Today was the date when the planned building was put into use for the first time, and he was very nervous, for fear that something might go wrong.

Tang Shizhe looked at the corridors and protective panels embedded in the pit wall outside the elevator and his heart surged. His dream for many years was finally coming true. After today, the world will enter a new era.

A few minutes later, the high-speed elevator stopped at the bottom of the pit. At this time, the group saw the 50-meter-high white rocket standing at the bottom of the pit.

Several robotic arms hold the rocket firmly in place on five elevators in orbit around the tunnel.

Because the fuel has been filled, the rocket is now ready to launch, and all the staff around the rocket have been evacuated to a safe area.

Tang Shizhe led the researchers to a control room located on the inner side of the wall above the rocket. A ten-meter-high tempered glass allowed the staff in the control room to clearly see everything in the pit.

"The Titan-1 carrier rocket is ready to launch! All the staff are in place!" A staff member shouted after seeing Tang Shizhe sitting down, picking up the intercom.

All the staff immediately trotted back to their posts,

At the same time, the lights in the control room began to dim gradually.

"Prepare to execute the launch procedure, close the control room armor!" As the staff's voice fell, a layer of alloy armor several meters thick fell from the glass of the control room, covering the glass of the control room firmly.

Then, pictures of different sizes began to appear on the original glass. In addition to the monitoring in the potholes, the pictures were various readings of the rocket.

"The electromagnetic acceleration track begins to store energy, and the energy supply of the energy supply blanket is stable! It is expected to be launched in ten seconds!"

"The air in the launch tunnel has been evacuated!"

"The rocket is ready to launch!"

"ten!"

"Nine!"

“…”

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Rocket ignition! The stabilizer is ready to disengage!" With a shout, yellow flames began to be ejected from the rocket at the bottom of the pothole, and a large amount of smoke began to fill the entire pothole.

The elevator fixed on the orbit around the pothole began to drive the rocket to rise slowly, and at the same time, the huge thrust generated by the thruster below the rocket made the rocket rise faster and faster.

After the rocket rose at a high speed for a distance of one kilometer, the mechanical arms fixed on the rocket suddenly loosened, and the rocket began to rush upwards alone.

"Pay attention to the rocket angle and start entering the electromagnetic acceleration stage!"

The remaining two kilometers in the generating tunnel are all electromagnetic orbits for electromagnetic acceleration.

When the rocket entered the electromagnetic acceleration stage, the speed immediately increased by one section, and it was still climbing.

At this time, in order to prevent the tail flame from damaging the electromagnetic acceleration orbit, all the fuel thrusters on the rocket were turned off, and only a few turbojet engines were used for assistance.

The huge amount of electricity stored by the energy blanket covering an area of ​​thousands of square kilometers was consumed in an instant.

At this time, the rocket was also accelerated to five kilometers per second.

This speed is not enough to send the rocket into space, but the rocket itself still carries a propulsion device.

The electromagnetic acceleration device is just to save some fuel consumption of the rocket. When the rocket leaves the ground and rises into the air, all its thrusters are turned on again, pushing the rocket directly to the first cosmic speed.

Soon, the rocket has reached the position of the atmosphere, and the intense high temperature makes the heat insulation layer outside the rocket emit a faint red light.

At this time, the rocket's tail thruster was thrown away, and the propellant compartment, which took up more than half of the rocket's length, began to fall toward the ground.

This section of the propulsion module will finally open the parachute and buffer device before landing to ensure that it can be recycled and continued to be used.

After dozens of minutes, the rocket reached the predetermined orbit, the fairing on the head opened like a petal, and a black satellite detached from the rocket and entered space.
