Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1257 Launch Payload
"The experiment has already begun. We plan to launch a rocket into space, then activate the Vulcan core's impact mode facing deep space, and then test its speed. In fact, everything for the experiment is ready."

"Then why don't you proceed?"

"There is a problem - you should remember that all our practices are in Colombia. That means our space launch site is also in Colombia. Now with the rebellion in Colombia, our space launch site has also been taken over by the automatons. We now have no way to launch rockets into space. So... this may require the help of Aurora."

"In other words, you need to purchase a commercial spaceflight service?"

"Yes. The weight of this payload is about 5 metric tons. It includes a Vulcan core and its related control equipment and monitoring equipment. We actually have the ability to launch a payload of this weight, but as you can see, we have lost this ability now. This is why we want to negotiate with Columbia."

"Everything in practice, eh? What else is there besides the launch site?"

"And our industrial capacity, our nuclear test facilities, and various testing institutions are all in Columbia. After the automata invaded there, many of our scientists were kidnapped and detained. It seems that the automata want to continue their experiments there. In particular, at the launch site in Virginia, we observed that the automata were also assembling rockets. I don't know what they are going to do. They can't be launching bread into space."

"I'll look into this. Also, if you guys want to launch it, I can contact you. Wait a minute, I can confirm the feasibility first."

Rome has a need, and here we have the ability to meet it, and Shangluo can act as a matchmaker between them. This is a good cooperation plan, and it also has considerable positive significance.

I just don't know whether this payload gap can be filled now.

Shangluo called Wen Zhong - he wanted to find Zhu Xianxin, but he was shopping with his sister, and it was a rare family time, so Shangluo didn't want to disturb him. It's okay to ask Wen Gelao this kind of question.

"Launch payload?" Wen Zhong thought for a moment, "I remember that the Water Dragon had been launched before. The Water Dragon was originally recoverable, but the bombing operation really caught us off guard. After the bombing, the Water Dragon crashed in the Atlantic Ocean."

"Huh? So it crashed? Is everyone okay?"

"It's a small matter. Our people are Qigong practitioners, so the rocket crash doesn't have a big impact. But when the rescue came, the Water Dragon had already sunk into the sea - but it doesn't matter, the Water Dragon is actually a stainless steel shell, so it sank. It's just that the next Water Dragon is still being built in the shipyard, so it can't carry out the mission now."

"Then do we have something smaller?"

"Yes. But 5 tons is too much - this is very troublesome. We can launch 500 metric tons, or 500 kilograms. But 5 tons is right at the limit of our conventional launch capability, so I'm afraid we can't launch it. However."

"but?"

"But I think we can go to Guoxing and ask. If it's 5 tons, we can use the cannon in Borneo to fire it. That's right within the applicable range of the cannon."

"Understood. I'll go ask."

2 minute later.

"Aha! Is it going to open?! There is a commercial payload! I am so happy!" Zheng Shijie was more excited than expected. Obviously, this was the first unit to ask him for a commercial launch - the Kinai had never asked him before. No one wanted to put their treasure into a cannon and launch it.

But now, Rome has this need.

"But there is a problem." Zheng Shijie asked, "Our cannons will produce violent vibrations when fired. Won't it cause damage?"

After Shangluo relayed the question, Agatha replied: "No. In fact, we can activate the Vulcan core in advance and anchor its 'rotation'. In this way, we can maintain the stability of the pointing direction to a certain extent and suppress vibration. If feasible, we can even start it directly in the barrel and eject the payload."

"No, no, no." Zheng Shijie quickly replied, "Your experiment is too dangerous. I don't want to use my things for your experiment."

[There was actually a day like this for him. There was actually a time when he felt that others were dangerous. 】

"Well, I don't think it's very reasonable. We can't just launch an unprepared launch just to test the feasibility of the experiment. But this is a good idea. The cannon can indeed make more reasonable use of the power of the Vulcan core. As long as the experiment is successful, we can definitely take the space launch capability to a higher level."

As long as the experiment is successful and the earth is not pierced, it will be fine.

Agatha also briefly responded and initially accepted the plan: "The relevant committee of the Senate believes that this plan is feasible. We hope to borrow Lan Fang's space facilities for the launch. The specific cost can be discussed later, but it is best to be quick."

"Very soon!" Zheng Shijie had already connected with Agatha on the phone. "Our cannons can be fired at any time, as long as you bring the equipment."

“Our equipment is ready.”

"What are we waiting for? Let's start the experiment right away!" Zheng Shijie suggested, "Let's light up the sky!"

[What is this guy talking about? The attempt to set the sky on fire failed, which means the burning is uncontrollable.]

"Ah, this is indeed a terrible result."

Burning the sky, like punching through the earth, is the worst possible outcome of this experiment. But if this experiment succeeds, if the Vulcan device is proven to be controllable under certain conditions, then both the Ming Dynasty and Rome will benefit from it.

The "unlimited staple food" plan prepared by Shangluo can be implemented smoothly, and Rome can begin to clean up the mess.

Of course, Shangluo still planned to discuss the Roman issue. He was not opposed to using military means to solve necessary problems, but the premise was to see how to use them.

"I didn't expect that we could start the experiment so soon." Agatha was a little excited. It felt a bit like a dream. "I didn't expect that I could actually see the Vulcan device put into real use. The Senate said that the equipment will be shipped to Pontianak within a few days. It will be delivered by air. Please accept it. The code name of the experiment is tentatively set as [Damocles], or [Project Xuanfeng]. Wish us success."
