The Infinite Journey of the Sage

Chapter 069: Break out of the earth and colonize the universe!

This balloon is a degraded version of a satellite.

But this idea seems like a genius to today's people.

Everyone knows the principle of radar, but radar itself has limitations. Because of the horizon and mountains, radar has a defensive blind spot at low altitudes.

Then at this time, humans thought of airborne early warning aircraft. They installed a small radar on the aircraft and put the radar in the air. Then the radar would not be affected by the terrain, but would become more powerful.

The principles of navigation satellites and communication satellites are not much different, except that the altitude is higher and the signal strength is stronger.

Keilar is a little worried about the world's radar and communication technology - after all, not every country has a private Huawei, so Keilar only tested the data of breakeven.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, being able to communicate with mobile phones is Keilal's minimum requirement for them.

The second factor is time. Of course, a balloon at an altitude of 10,000 meters cannot provide 24/7 coverage to ensure Kelar’s ​​communications. After all, the speed of a hot air balloon cannot keep up with the rotation of the earth, and the important thing is that if the hot air balloon wants to keep up with the earth, of rotation, the energy required will increase exponentially.

Keilar’s ​​plan is to use 12 hot-air balloons to form a network in the early stage, and then subsequently raise the balloons to a space of 20,000 meters, and then form a communication network in the northern hemisphere.

In a world where such fighter jets cannot fly above an altitude of 5,000 meters, an altitude of 20,000 meters is a world that is beyond their reach. Even if Kelal throws this thing into the stratosphere in the future, no one will be able to discover it. .

But now, you have to eat your food one bite at a time and take your steps step by step, otherwise you will easily lose your eggs.

Seeing the huge inflated balloon slowly flying up with the metal cube, the other girls thought it was awesome even if they didn't understand. They didn't know what Keilal had created.

"Okay, the first step is finally completed. Let's go back to the laboratory."

Keilal stood up from the side. Everyone backed away so far, mainly because they were afraid that the helium would not be filled in and the box would fall down and kill people.

Now that the black box has been successfully launched, you only need to go to the research institute to see other things.

Except for the group of workers and guards, the researchers dispersed one after another. This success greatly inspired them, allowing them to devote themselves to research with a hundredfold enthusiasm.

We came to a huge room in the research institute. There were three huge screens here, just like a command room.

The huge screen in the middle is actually in mid-air.

Although the TV station's helicopter can also have this kind of picture, it is close after all.

But looking at the big screen, the research institute they were in was getting smaller and smaller, and it had obviously reached a terrifying height.

This world is not without airplanes, but due to Sakurashi power, Sakurashi engines cannot support high-weight aircraft flying in the sky.

In other words, after the first industrial revolution and the Sakurashi Revolution, the second industrial revolution has already arrived in 2017, but it has still not arrived.

Precisely because it has not arrived, so-called flights and other things belong to the military and senior politicians, and civilians cannot receive such things.

Most of you here have only become EU senior leaders in the past few months, and all of you have never seen the sky.

When the camera slowly rose to an altitude of five thousand meters, it was almost close to the highest record for flying equipment at this stage.

When it rose to a height of 10,000 meters, when it looked at the ground again, it could only be seen that the fifty square kilometers of research on the ground were no longer much larger than a fingernail.

"The communication is normal." A row of people sat in front of the screen to maintain the "black box." A girl with short blond hair in a white coat turned to Noeliu and said.

Noeryu's team is a young scientific research team, completely abandoning the old scientists before EU. Geniuses gathered from major universities in EU burst out with sparks of passion under the command of Keilar.

The girl in front of her who looks like she is not even 18 years old is a typical genius. However, among the geniuses here whose average age is 22 years old, Noeru, who became the director at the age of sixteen, is actually the genius among geniuses.

She relied on her own strength and the glassmaker in the small mountain village to restart the Jianyu Thunder God, and Keilal gave her an entire research institute, so what would she create?

"The current altitude is 7,000 meters and still rising." The person on the other side checking the altitude said.

"The camera response is good," the person in charge of the camera said.

"Start preparing to zoom in." Noeliu ordered.

"Yes." Someone responded.

I only saw on the screen above. Suddenly, the scenery on the ground was enlarged, and then it was enlarged again. It was miraculous.

As a general, Layla immediately noticed the use of this thing. She said with excitement: "Mr. Kai, if we have this thing, then the direction of the Bunitalia Empire's army will be entirely up to us. It’s under control.”

Keilal smiled and nodded to her, signaling her to calm down and let the researchers continue with the matter.

"Still rising. 8,000 meters." At the height of 8,000 meters, the wind becomes stronger. In other words, these balloons will slowly move according to the monsoon and begin to gradually deviate from their original positions. Slowly left the institute.

Leila was a little depressed, what's the use of something like this that doesn't obey orders?

It would be great if there was a propeller. You can detect the situation wherever you want to go in mid-air.

Koko looked at this thing with a thoughtful expression.

This idea of ​​putting old wine in new bottles made everyone think deeply. It seemed that a simple thing made everyone start to think about the outside world.

Human beings have never lacked imagination. When they receive enough information, their imagination is enough to fly into the universe.

Previously trapped by the times and information, they had never thought about the use of this thing.

But when the balloon flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters and could not be destroyed, everyone discovered that this thing was almost invincible.

Even if it cannot be used for offense, it is always excellent for reconnaissance.

Keilal smiled. They didn't know that in this world, monsoons and ocean currents were unique laws on the earth, and they could be traced.

As long as they are not shot down, these balloons will start flying in the earth's air along with the monsoon, but when they rise to 20,000 meters, or even the stratosphere, even the monsoon will not be able to affect them.

So what if the balloon can fly?

As long as there are enough balloons raised, sooner or later these balloons will fill the entire sky.

Satellites have their own routes, and satellite routes have been in the hands of major countries in the past. For example, the European Union wanted to develop the Beidou system with China because it was interested in the satellite routes of China's Beidou system. As a result, China We sent people and money, but the other side actually wanted us to be empty-handed. They really treated us like fools. In the end, we left them alone and went it alone. Although we took some detours, we finally took this step in a down-to-earth manner. .

But now that there are no satellites on the outer periphery of the earth, Keilar is one step ahead, so there is no need to be too anxious.

This kind of thing needs to be done first, step by step. Unless it is a totalitarian country, a democratic country will not be able to finish this matter for more than a hundred years.

Only that country in the East doesn't have to worry about reputation or anything else. It just needs to use the power of the country to establish this project. This project will be supported by the country within ten years and will definitely produce results.

Once you have achieved good results, you can buy some foreign technology and use it on the side, and slowly melt it into your own, without making you take detours.

Now that Kelal is the forerunner, they have to do everything by themselves, so they cannot afford to be careless.

The balloon finally entered a fixed orbit at an altitude of 10,000 meters. You can see that the camera has begun to shake. Even in a huge iron box, as long as it is at this level, it cannot block the roar of the strong wind.

Everyone's hearts were raised. The camera was shaking and nothing could be seen clearly. This meant that their experiment had failed.

In fact, both Keilar and Noeru were calm in their hearts.

The lens in the lower half of the box was installed at a later stage. Keilal wanted to test whether it could become a map satellite like Google, so he came up with this.

But now it seems that the shaking is so violent that the concept of terrain satellites should have failed.

But the original intention of this thing is to signal. As a signal receiving and transmitting tower, it can serve as a floating signal base station as long as it floats in the air. Stable transmission of signals is what it should do.

It is well known that the distance of the signal tower is similar to that of radar. After several signal reflections or long distances, the signal strength will decrease sharply, and it will be even more reduced in complex terrain.

Except for China, no capitalist country would build communication base stations in remote mountain villages and extend the network to remote areas, because it would not make any money. Not only would it not make money, but they would also have to pay for it, because they are a capitalist country!

It is different when transmitting signals in the air. Although the signal in the air also has to go through the problem of attenuation due to distance, there is almost no attenuation in terms of terrain.

Under this prerequisite, the air signal is much stronger than the signal tower on the ground.

Of course, in modern society, the sky is filled with either airplanes or fighter jets, missiles or satellites. Civilian airplanes and hot-air balloons occupy the entire sky. How could there be space for such a thing?

So Musk wants to build a free WiFi that can be used all over the world. Even if he has the technology, where will he have the space? Capitalists don’t have to make money, right?

"Raise to 20,000 meters again." Keilar suddenly commanded from the side.

This is just the first balloon. Since it has arrived at the designated location and can transmit video stably, it means that their first goal has been successful. Even if they lose this thing, there will be no problem.

"This..." The person controlling the height was actually slowly deflating, but after hearing Keilal's words, he couldn't help but turn to Noeru.

Although Keilal proposed this plan, the genius Noeryu was the real executor.

"Do as he says." Noeliu nodded and said coldly.

Her character is like this, no one would think she did it on purpose.

The scientific researcher who controlled the height nodded, stopped deflating, and the balloon immediately continued to fly upward.

The camera was shaking more and more as he flew over, and suddenly, the camera calmed down.

Keilar knew that the balloon must have risen to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, left the troposphere and reached the stratosphere.

At this time, the temperature will drop to -3 degrees, and the balloon will begin to freeze. When it expands with heat and contracts with cold, the balloon will explode, and then the blocks will fall.

"The temperature is starting to drop sharply," someone warned.

"Expand the heating system." Not only the balloon needs to be heated, but also the metal box must be heated, otherwise the metal surface will freeze.

This kind of heating doesn't require much energy - the cherry stone alone can solve this small problem.

So with the existing technology, Keilar has really come up with something incredible.

"Switch to the secondary lens." The main lens has the highest pixels and is also the largest. There is a lens the size of a manhole cover directly under the metal box. It is also a lens prepared for observing the earth at a level of 10,000 kilometers.

The secondary lens is a bit small. It is only about the size of a fist on the four sides of the box, but it is more than enough for observing nearby situations.

"Yes." Someone responded.

When the big screen was divided into four screens, and then images appeared.

Everyone held their breath. The whole institute was quiet, without any noise, not even the sound of human breathing could be heard.

At this time, Keilal couldn't help but echo those words in his heart.

"This is just a small step for me, but a giant leap for mankind." This is the first time that humans have broken through the troposphere, reached the stratosphere, and seen the earth.

The sun slightly showed a small angle under the horizon of the earth. Except for the sun and the blue planet, the rest of the place was dark, as if the earth was the center and protagonist of the universe.

This little blue marble is so beautiful that it makes people enchanted and confused.

"This is our world, Earth."

"After magnifying 10,000 times, we can see a little bit of Europe where we are."

"After magnifying 100,000 times, we can slightly see the outline of our institute."

"Everyone," his voice rose.

"Since you entered the institute, this institute seems to be an ordinary, unremarkable institute."

"But now, I feel like there should be a motto here to inspire everyone here."

Everyone's eyes turned from the monitor to him.

"Lead the second industrial revolution, break out of the earth, and colonize the universe!"

he said.

Everyone's eyes gradually became brighter.

When a group of scientists found faith.

Then they will burst out with unlimited passion and enthusiasm.
