Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 395: Ten…ten alien ships!
Because there is no satellite or airplane, the war concept of the Taipu civilization generally stays in the era of the giant ship and artillery. The more troops and the fiercer the artillery, the higher the combat effectiveness of which side. Moreover, in order to overcome air friction, the mass of the shells is extremely huge, and it is completely an enlarged version of the shells that humans once had.
In addition to the giant ship artillery, there is another mode of warfare—that is, the airship is used to transport missiles and bomb the ground. Which side of the airship can fly higher, then which side will be invincible.
"War has never been far away..."
Just watching the TV room, a huge streamlined airship arrived, and O'Brien hurriedly ate his breakfast and boarded the airship with the crowd of passengers.
Immediately afterwards, the air pressure pump sounded "suddenly" and quickly inflated the surrounding sub-airbags. As the volume of the sub-airbags increased, the airboat lifted off very smoothly.
This kind of air craft code-named "Lin Qibo" can reach a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour. In cities, each public air craft has its own route, and its rated speed can reach about 50 kilometers per hour.
Fortunately, the stations are directly back and forth, and there are no intermediate stations, so this speed is still acceptable.
Because there is no way to build high-rise buildings, the unit land can hold a small population. This civilized residential area is like farmland, spread out neatly, and the central core area must be the empty boat parking place.
O’Brien’s work place is at the observatory’s meteorological office, fifty kilometers away, and can be reached in exactly an hour.
When he came to the Astronomical Observatory, he found that the atmosphere inside was as usual. Most of his colleagues gathered together and chatted casually. The working day hadn't officially started yet.
Astronomical and Meteorological Observatory is mainly responsible for the exploration of the outer starry sky and weather monitoring.
Of course... The latter is mainly.
The airboat navigation system has very high climate requirements. Whether it is windy weather or heavy rain, traffic may be paralyzed. This also requires that the weather station be able to predict weather conditions more accurately and issue timely notifications.
O’Brien’s greatest wish is to launch a real weather satellite... There was a project like this in the plan, but it was ultimately aborted because of too much technical difficulty and too high funding requirements.
It is very difficult for the entire country to manufacture aerial vehicles, let alone launch rockets.
So the funds for starry sky exploration are very, very small. Everyone thinks that if the technology is developed in a few years, we will consider this matter. Maybe we can save a lot of money?
And they have never used artificial satellites. Most people in Taipu don't think this kind of thing is very urgent. Can you live well without satellites? Can you predict the weather accurately? Only these meteorologists are eager for satellites, but the appeals of these experts are often of little use.
"Tomorrow has passed and it is a new tomorrow. The government allocates several million each year to maintain at most a small astronomical telescope or satellite? At this rate of development, it will not be possible in the next century. Yes!"
O'Brien sneered in his heart, constantly complaining about the short-sightedness of those politicians. If there are no visible benefits, politicians cannot allocate funds.
A large number of scientists are sharpening their heads and thinking about how to make the airship fly higher. All the funds are invested in the airship. Since the last plan failed, the Taipu people didn't bother to consider another aircraft that could produce qualitative changes. Even many people directly think that it is impossible to be able to fly in the air.
"What's the weather like today?" Just thinking about it, a colleague greeted him.
This is not a casual greeting, but their job.
Because there is no satellite, climate observations must be done through the airship observatory above. Radio communications and computer technology have already appeared on this planet.
O’Brien glanced at the data on the computer, and came back to his senses: "There shouldn’t be too much problem...Of course it’s just my empirical judgment. Now our area is high pressure and there is a sinking air current. The probability of rain is rare...the air humidity is not high."
"Another relaxing day." The colleague stretched lazily, as if not awake.
Just then, suddenly, a computer in the next room sounded a "didi" alarm.
"It appears that the radio interferometer has observed a signal from outer space."
This kind of thing is not once or twice. Any neutron star, pulsar, or even solar wind may have electromagnetic signals. The planet’s atmosphere is thick enough that even the most violent solar wind has a negligible impact on the planet.
"Let’s go take a look, it’s good to record it."
O'Brien trots over and records these signals into the storage device. He suddenly discovered that these signals have a certain pattern, but they are more like the general telegram cipher of the Taipu civilization.
"Fortunately, I have learned the language of telegraph..." He scratched his head, and after hitting the keyboard, the whole translation came out all at once.
"Unknown civilization, hello, we are human civilization from afar, coming with peace and goodwill."
"We abide by the principle of equality and free transaction, everything can be bought, everything can be sold, as long as you can pay the corresponding price..."
"We..."
When I saw this line of text, the colleagues around me who came to join in the fun laughed dumbly, "I bet that someone who has nothing to do has sent this message on the empty boat...Even the password is our telegram password, Could it be that we Tap people inadvertently conquered the entire universe?"
"What are you betting on? Lunch for lunch? I asked you." O'Brien also didn't care much, and began to try to control the space telescope: "But the direction of the radio waves does come from space."
"Their spacecraft stays above the atmosphere~IndoMTL.com~Really? You are so boring. You have to look for it, and be careful to be scolded by the stationmaster." This colleague is still next door. Chatting, staring at the screen: "Hey?!"
"What is this...?!"
His voice suddenly increased, almost from a plain sentence to a huge scream!
"Alien...alien!"
A large group of colleagues heard this scream and hurried over, thinking that something really happened.
A tiny shadow really appeared in the telescope!
It seems... staying at an altitude of 60,000 kilometers, no airship can fly to an altitude of 60,000 kilometers, and there is no atmosphere at all.
There was deathly silence in the air, it was incredible!
aliens, aliens really appeared.
Every Taipu person held their breath, as if their brain was directly down. After a few seconds, they rushed to find the leader in a hurry.
"Increase the resolution ten times!" Hearing the news, the stationmaster of the weather station hurried over, and he said with a trembling tone.
O'Brien swallows, his face is not very good.
The shadow on the screen gradually became clear.
can be seen vaguely, not only one spacecraft, but...10 ships!
There are a total of 10 spaceships moving above the atmosphere!
