Chapter 303: Flying to the Moon and Extraterrestrial Anchors
In the day after Chen Yun took off.
Some powerful senior officials around the world have entered a state of emergency preparation, and some have even activated a certain degree of combat readiness.
After all, when an object the size of a human can reach ten times the speed of sound for a long time, it can turn at sharp angles and stop suddenly at high speeds.
Then this stuff becomes the truth.
It is a truth that literally hangs over everyone's head like the sword of Damocles.
This thing can't be intercepted at all.
This means that even if it has no power, as long as a nuclear warhead is strapped to it, it will immediately become a strategic weapon that can be used to hit anywhere.
When this thing took off from the hinterland of China.
When this thing does fancy moves at high speeds in the atmosphere.
Countries around the world that had the ability to detect this scene immediately had intracranial orgasms, and their hearts and livers began to tremble subconsciously following the movements of this thing.
They were all afraid that China was going to overturn the table.
The level of panic was no less than what he felt when he heard that Ah San was about to launch a missile.
Who knows where this thing is going?
Just a simple test? Or whose satellite should I knock out? Or will it go straight to somewhere on Earth after arriving in space?
These questions are not clear.
Like them, there is China itself.
Although the test calls from other countries calling for peace have been overwhelming, in fact they themselves are also a little confused.
Even if it is not shown to the outside world.
But in fact, the shock and confusion are absolutely no less than a little bit.
In addition to dispatching a large number of detection troops to the calculated launch site, a large number of laser interference, smoke screen interference, and electromagnetic interference methods were also deployed to prevent specific details from being seen by other countries through satellites.
But at a time when China and many other countries are confused and frightened.
As the instigator, Chen Yun headed towards the moon without any care.
He doesn't know what's going on on Earth.
Or rather, he doesn't care about what happens on earth.
When he decided to take off, he knew he would attract attention.
But that's not important.
Just like humans don’t care what bugs are thinking.
Chen Yun's attention now is actually more focused on the moon, which is getting closer and closer.
With his current ability.
The spiritual stance allows him to quickly accelerate to a speed of about ten times the speed of sound, and because there is no influence of resistance, he can continue to accelerate, and will not be affected by factors such as air resistance, and the final speed is basically constant at ten times the speed of sound.
Therefore, it did not take more than thirty hours to reach the moon. After all, that is the theoretical time required to reach a constant speed of ten times the speed of sound.
He is constantly accelerating in a vacuum.
It gradually reached faster speeds, and in the end it only took about eight hours.
In a vacuum, objects will only move in a straight line at a uniform speed or remain stationary unless affected by external forces.
The force Chen Yun continued to exert formed an acceleration, allowing him to continue to accelerate in space without resistance.
So theoretically, Chen Yun's speed in space is not simply ten times the speed of sound.
It seems possible to carry out the previously abandoned interstellar voyage?
But this is just a theory after all.
Chen Yun, who spent eight hours arriving near the moon, understood that there was a progression in the process of continuous acceleration from a spiritual standpoint.
It doesn't mean that it increases to a certain speed instantly.
Instead, the speed is continuously increased by the acceleration brought by the spiritual stance. This acceleration process is actually quite time-consuming.
And there is one more important point.
This kind of continuous acceleration seems to have no upper limit, but in fact it can only reach the speed of light at most, and it takes a long time to accelerate to the speed of light.
And most importantly.
The speed of light is the fastest speed and can no longer be exceeded theoretically.
But even the fastest speed of light.
It is still far from being able to achieve interstellar navigation.
In the universe, even light takes a long time to cross some regions.
If Chen Yun wants to start an interstellar voyage, he must exceed the speed of light, or have space technology.
Thinking like this.
Chen Yun entered the gravitational range of the moon.
Normally, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation, each object exerts a gravitational force on all other objects around it, and this effect is theoretically infinite.
However, this effect diminishes rapidly with distance.
Therefore, there is a point on the line connecting the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational pulls of the Moon and the Earth cancel each other out. This point is called the L1 point in the Lagrangian point.
At this point, the gravitational pulls of the moon and the earth on an object balance each other, so it can be said that the gravitational effects of the moon and the earth are equal at this point.
This point is approximately 4,700 kilometers from the moon.
What Chen Yun said about entering the moon's gravitational range actually meant that he passed the Lagrange point L1, and the moon's gravitational influence on him officially surpassed the earth behind him at this moment.
However, this does not mean that the Moon's gravity only acts within this distance.
Actually.
The Moon's gravitational influence extends far beyond this.
For example, the moon's tidal effect on the earth is global, which means that even on the other side of the earth, the moon can still cause tidal phenomena through its gravity.
After Chen Yun crosses the Lagrangian point L1.
The moon can be said to be very close at hand.
After all, there is only a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers. Compared with the more than 300,000 kilometers of the entire journey, it can be said that it is already in front of the moon.
Chen Yun also began to enter a slow deceleration phase, slowing down his gradually increasing speed and ensuring that he would try not to hit the moon directly.
After all if you can.
Chen Yun still didn't want to be too embarrassed when flying to the moon.
It would be a bit too exaggerated to think that it would hit like a meteorite at dozens of times the speed of sound and leave a new crater.
Speaking of Ben Yue, Chen Yun still hopes to be more immortal.
After all, how immortal is Chang'e when she flies to the moon?
Besides, there have been countless legends about the moon since ancient times, and Chen Yun still had some mixed emotions about it.
Human beings have always been full of endless curiosity and imagination about the moon, which is reflected in the myths, legends and stories in various cultures.
In China, the most well-known story is the story of "Chang'e flying to the moon". It tells the story of Hou Yi's wife Chang'e, who swallowed the elixir to prevent the elixir from falling into the wrong hands and flew to the moon palace to live there. This legend symbolizes sacrifice and eternity. love.
In Greek mythology, Selene is the goddess of the moon. She drives a golden chariot pulled by two horses through the sky every night, representing the beauty and mystery of the moon.
Mani, the moon god in Norse mythology, is responsible for driving the moon across the sky, reflecting the importance of the moon to the lives of Nordic people.
In West African culture, the moon is seen as a wise old man who often intervenes in human affairs to help solve problems.
In Native American culture, there are the moon goddess in the Mayan culture and Tezcatlipoca, the moon god in the Aztec culture. The moon is closely related to fertility, agriculture and the cycle of life...
For such a special moon.
Chen Yun didn't want to just smash out a crater. He felt no different from those unscrupulous tourists who wrote "come here" everywhere.
Thinking.
Chen Yun slowly adjusted his spiritual position, allowing it to generate a reverse thrust that changed from light to heavy to slow down his progress.
As the outline of the moon gradually became clear before his eyes, he felt unprecedented tranquility and magnificence. The craters and mountains on the moon's surface showed a cold beauty in the sunlight, which gave him an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Chen Yun continued to slow down his speed until he could approach the moon's surface in an almost stationary state.
Compared with many landing methods on the moon, his was a soft landing in the true sense.
He chose a relatively flat area as the landing site. This place looked relatively flat and did not have too many undulating landforms.
As the distance shortened, he adjusted his posture to ensure a smooth landing.
soon.
Chen Yun took a normal step.
Landing gently on the moon's surface.
Looking at the unusual environment around him, Chen Yun took a deep breath of the non-existent air.
At this moment, we have reached the moon.
He was once just an ordinary person, but now he can fly directly to the moon.
Such a big transformation only happened in a few short months.
But only in such a short period of time.
Everything has changed.
Chen Yun smiled softly, and then continued to carefully examine everything around him.
There was a world of silence all around.
He looked down at the seemingly delicate but extremely hard soil under his feet. It was lunar soil composed of tiny rock fragments, dust and fine particles.
These particles appear extremely light in the low gravity environment of the moon.
Each step kicks up a small cloud of dust that slowly floats away, rather than falling quickly as it does on Earth.
Looking up at the sky, Chen Yun found that without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the starry sky was exceptionally clear and bright.
The stars no longer twinkled, but hung steadily on the black sky, as if countless diamonds were embedded in it.
The areas where the sun is directly shining are bright and dazzling, while the shadows are pitch black, with almost no transition between the two. This is a phenomenon caused by the lack of atmospheric scattering of light on the moon.
In terms of temperature, there are huge temperature differences on the moon.
Chen Yun, who was flying around, discovered.
In places with direct sunlight, the temperature can reach about 127 degrees Celsius; at night, the temperature can plummet to about -173 degrees Celsius.
This extreme temperature difference has no impact on Chen Yun.
He continued to look around.
It was found that the surface of the moon is covered with impact craters of various sizes, which are the traces left by the impacts of countless asteroids and comets over the past billions of years.
Larger craters tend to have stepped edges, while smaller craters are more rounded.
In addition to the impact craters, there are many mountains and rift valleys that cast long shadows in the sun, adding a bit of mystery to this desolate place.
Chen Yun noticed that there seemed to be a special sense of tranquility on the moon's surface, a feeling that could not be experienced on earth.
Here, there is no sound of wind, no sound of water, not even the sound of footsteps.
Even if the dust kicked up occasionally fell gently to the ground, there was no sound to break the silence.
This kind of silence makes people feel lonely and free, as if he is the only one left in the entire universe.
Chen Yun walked around silently.
soon.
He stopped.
The rest of the scenery was basically the same, so he was not too interested and got down to business.
I saw Chen Yun casually grab a handful of lunar soil from the ground and put it in the palm of his hand. Then he looked directly at the lunar soil and used heat vision.
Although not as conspicuous as laser.
But the high temperature of 3,000 degrees instantly blessed this handful of lunar soil.
As the temperature increases.
The particles in the lunar soil begin to soften and gradually melt into a liquid state.
At first, the tiny particles in the lunar soil began to smoke slightly at the high temperatures.
The color then begins to change, gradually changing from gray to darker tones and finally to a transparent molten state.
Chen Yun carefully controlled the temperature to avoid excessive heating that would cause certain components in the lunar soil to volatilize.
As the temperature rises further, the silicate minerals in the lunar soil begin to melt, forming a glass-like substance.
This molten lunar soil flows slowly in Chen Yun's hands, like a liquid, but much denser than water.
Chen Yun maintains a stable high temperature to ensure that all lunar soil can be melted evenly.
In less than two minutes, all the lunar soil is completely melted.
Chen Yun began to lower the temperature, allowing the molten lunar soil to gradually cool down.
In the process, he used his hands to shape it into a cube.
As the temperature drops, the molten lunar soil begins to solidify and gradually regains its hardness.
until completely cured.
At this time, the originally loose lunar soil had turned into a solid solid.
This solid piece has a smooth surface and a tight internal structure, giving it a unique luster.
Chen Yun gently picked up the newly formed solid and carefully inspected its texture and appearance.
It is much harder and denser than the original lunar soil.
This high-temperature smelted lunar soil solid seems to have better physical and chemical properties, presumably higher strength and durability, and good thermal insulation properties.
He dropped the solid piece to the ground, confirming that it was barely unbreakable.
Chen Yun was very satisfied with this.
Understand that this may be a potential future lunar construction material that can be used to build bases or other structures in the future.
only.
It’s not that he uses it as a building material.
Instead, it is used as a new beacon and anchor point for one's own beyond-line-of-sight azimuth perception ability.
Now that I have arrived on the moon.
How could we not simply leave a token of beyond visual range orientation perception?
In this case.
From now on, the spiritual body can directly cross the distance of more than 300,000 kilometers and reach the moon in an instant.
This will be Chen Yun’s first extraterrestrial anchor point, which has a completely different meaning.
Such a future.
Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.
Thinking.
Chen Yun skillfully began to use his mental power to refining the cube obtained by melting the lunar soil.
Prepare yourself for an anchor point on the moon.
certainly.
There is no need to cancel the plan for the Filipino boys to send another beyond-visual-range azimuth sensing token to heaven. According to Chen Yun’s plan, what they want to send is in orbit around the earth, which does not conflict with placing it on the moon.
