"That means ….. the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's Magic Launch Vehicle was indeed launched into space?"
"Yes."
"How high is space from the ground?"
"This subordinate doesn't know.
But according to the data released by New Flyer, the satellite they successfully launched was around one hundred and thirty kilometers above the ground. "
"One hundred and thirty kilometers above the ground?
How far is this place from the New Flight Commerce Main Base? "
"It should be over two thousand kilometers … …"
"Tell me, since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce can send a Magic Launch Vehicle that high in the sky, if they just let it fly, wouldn't it be able to fly to very far places?"
"Based on the rocket launch principle and data released by New Flyer, there is this possibility."
"Then … … Is it possible to directly fly from the New Flight Commerce Main Base to here?"
"This … … This subordinate doesn't know."
"Say, if New Flyer didn't load a satellite on the Magic Launch Vehicle and instead used Magic Missiles, wouldn't it be possible to directly hit me from the New Flight Commerce Main Base?"
"This subordinate doesn't know."
"Doesn't this mean that New Flyer already has the ability to launch a super long range attack at any time?"
"This subordinate doesn't know."
"If New Flyer is willing, no matter how strong our city defenses are, it doesn't mean anything?"
"This subordinate doesn't know."
"You don't know?
You don't know this and you don't know that. What do you know? "
"This subordinate … … This subordinate doesn't know … …"

"Sir chairman, this is the height of the synchronous orbit that I calculated. Is there a problem with it?" Sancheli turned around and pointed at a number on the Magic Illusion in front of him as he asked Xu Yi.
"32714 kilometers?" Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and thought for a bit before nodding.
"Since this is the data calculated by your team, I believe that there is no problem."
Sancheli revealed a proud smile. He patted the workbench beside him and said, "Sir chairman, it's just calculating data. It's nothing for this Heavenly God."
"Really?"
Xu Yi chuckled as he looked at the gigantic metallic monster in front of Sancheli, and a sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.
Since Sancheli had been recruited into the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he had been designing automation programs the entire time. He had already obtained outstanding results, allowing the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's semi-automatic and even fully automatic machine tools to expand, taking over almost all the machine tool market on the Sines Continent.
But Xu Yi never would have thought that Sancheli would develop this monster in front of him.
The metal monster, which Sancheli had named 'Celestial God', was so huge that it filled the entire room. In terms of function, it was clearly a computer!
Yes, this was a by-product developed by Sancheli based on the magic automation program. In terms of principle and function, it was almost no different from the computers on Earth.
Of course, this Magic Computer was still in a very primitive state, so its performance was around the same as the first computer on earth. Only in terms of the basic calculation method, because it used the stimulation of magic signals, it was a bit different from the computers on earth that used electric currents to control it.
Moreover, for someone like Xu Yi who had some understanding of both, this "Celestial God" was actually much more advanced than the first computers on Earth.
The first computers on Earth were made of countless electronic tubes. Then they relied on these electronic tubes that could only handle the simplest signals to perform more complex calculations.
But the Celestial God developed by Sancheli directly used the stimulation of magic signals. It could even perform complex calculations and send out the results as commands. There was no doubt that it was much stronger than the first computers on Earth.
The reason why the performance of both sides were similar was because of the difference in technology and Sancheli's lack of personal knowledge.
If the technology of Sines was improved and Sancheli had more complete mathematical knowledge, then the performance of the Celestial God would increase by leaps and bounds. It would definitely surpass the first generation computers on Earth.
But even like this, when Xu Yi learned of the existence of the Celestial God, he couldn't help being shocked.
Of course he hoped that he could have a computer on Earth to help him with his work. He also thought that after the magic machine industry on Sines developed to a certain degree, there might be something similar to a computer.
But he never thought that the Celestial God would appear this early, this quickly.
For this, Xu Yi couldn't think of any explanation, he could only attribute it to Sancheli's talent.
If it wasn't for the existence of this kind of monstrous person, Xu Yi estimated that it would take at least twenty years for the Celestial God to appear.
"Sir chairman, why do you want me to calculate the synchronous orbit?" Sancheli asked in a curious voice.
"Oh, this thing has a lot of uses.
For example, if I want to use the communication satellites to cover the entire planet, then it is necessary to have several communication satellites in suitable positions. "
"Is that so?
But didn't the company already create high altitude magic signal beacons, solving the need for long distance communication between the two continents? "
"That's not the same." Xu Yi shook his head.
"Although the high altitude magic signal beacons can solve this problem, their existence is unstable and they are easily affected by the high altitude airflow and other abnormal situations.
So when we communicate with the Demon Cloud Continent, there are often situations where the signal is affected or even interrupted.
But the communication satellites in synchronous orbit don't need to worry about this.
And because they are far away from the ground, the range they cover is very wide.
In theory, even three communication satellites are needed to cover the entire planet.
And if we use the high altitude magic signal beacons, according to my calculations, we need at least four hundred of them.
You should be very clear about the difference in cost. "
Sancheli nodded to show he understood.
"Other than this, the synchronous orbit satellites have some very special functions. It's not obvious now, but you'll know in the future … …"
At this point, Xu Yi kept him in suspense.
Sancheli looked at him strangely and didn't ask further.
"But sir chairman, according to my calculations, if we want to launch a synchronous orbit satellite, the power of the Magic Launch Vehicle far surpasses our current abilities, so I'm afraid we can't launch this satellite right now."
"You secretly calculated this yourself, right?" Xu Yi revealed a faint smile.
Sancheli's face turned red as he nodded in acknowledgment.
"Yes … …" He immediately understood.
"What?
Was there a mistake in your calculations?
But I've already imported all the data and calculated it many times, right?
If we want to launch a Magic Launch Vehicle that weighs several dozen tons to a place thirty thousand kilometers above the ground, the power requirement is shockingly large.
Not to mention our company not being able to do it now, I even feel that it will be very hard for our company to do it in the future. "
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing as he patted Sancheli's shoulder, "Sancheli, you should talk to the researchers of the Academy of Magic's astronomy and physics departments.
Your calculations may be correct, but before you even begin to calculate, you've already made a fatal mistake.
Launching things into the sky isn't like you think, it's just throwing things into the sky.
Actually, it requires less power than throwing things into the sky. "
"Really?" Sancheli scratched his head awkwardly.
Sancheli awkwardly scratched his head, "I don't know much about this, so it seems like I need to study a bit more."
"No, the most important thing for you right now isn't to study astronomy, rather you should study mathematics." Xu Yi pointed at the giant Heavenly God behind Sancheli.
"To me, the Heavenly God is even more important than launching a satellite.
I hope that you can spend more effort on this in the future and work hard to increase its performance. "
Sancheli turned to look at the Heavenly God with a bit of doubt in his heart.
This thing was just to make it easier for him to calculate when designing the automatic production magic machines. He thought that it was just a convenient product, but he never thought that sir chairman would place such importance on it, so it really was a pleasant surprise.
"Alright.
Sir chairman, I will properly study it.
But ….. how is this related to you wanting me to study mathematics? "Sancheli asked in a doubtful voice.
"You don't know now, but when you reach a certain point in your research, you will find the importance of mathematics." Xu Yi said with a serious look.
Sancheli immediately and earnestly assented.
After discussing a few more matters related to the Heavenly God with Xu Yi, Sancheli suddenly had an idea. He asked Xu Yi, "Sir chairman, since we can send a satellite into the sky this time, can we send people up in the future?"
"Of course." Xu Yi gave a firm nod before looking at Sancheli.
"What?
Do you want to travel in space? "
Sancheli immediately revealed a look of endless desire.
"Of course I do!
I've dreamed of seeing the planet under our feet from space, it must be very beautiful! "
"Haven't the images of planets from space been shown countless times, could it be that you're still not tired of seeing them?"
"How could it be the same?
Seeing it through a magic illusion, how could it compare to seeing it with your own eyes? "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "Alright, I can only tell you that we can definitely send people into space in the future, but I'm not certain when we can do it. When the time comes, I'm even less certain if the person sent up will be you."
"Flying into space is my dream!" Sancheli seriously said in a soft voice.
Xu Yi couldn't help smiling.
Flying into the sky was the slogan and dream that he had been shouting.
Not many people believed it before, but now that the satellite was successfully launched, it suddenly became the most popular phrase on Sines.
