The ocean was deep and majestic.
At the equator of the Pacific Ocean, millions of tons of seawater flowed violently under the drag of tidal forces. The seemingly calm seawater caused the Earth Spray's hydroelectric power generator to spin wildly.
Any fish that carelessly approached it would instantly be minced into meat paste and torn into long strips of bloody mist.
Inside the main pipeline, an immeasurable sodium chloride solution fused with calcium chloride and electrolyzed a huge amount of metallic sodium under high temperature and high pressure.
The metallic sodium then underwent a complex reaction with water to produce hydrogen fuel, which flowed into the upper and lower rows of linear engines, releasing surging energy and causing violent vibrations...
"Hold the handle tightly and stabilize your center of gravity. Don't fall."
Inside the Andromeda space capsule, Chen Yu gripped the Russians' temporarily welded handrails and sternly said to everyone, "Once the water spray's impact force becomes too strong, you can ask me for help.
Understood? "
"Understood."
“ok。”
"No problem..."
As time passed by, the space capsule's vibrations grew increasingly intense. Very quickly, everyone felt as if the world before them had started shaking.
Anxiety and unease gradually filled the cabin.
Rumble …
"Rumble …"
Through the thick windows, everyone could already see the nearby waves churning violently. It was as if a typhoon was approaching.
It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying energy was accumulating inside the Earth Spray at this moment.
"It's coming!"
When the capsule's vibrations reached the point where his feet went numb, Chen Yu abruptly shouted, "Hold on tight!"
Everyone inside the space capsule tensed up upon hearing Chen Yu's words, and they immediately tightened their grip on the handrails.
The next moment...
Boom!
It was as if a muffled thunder had exploded beneath their feet!
For a brief moment, everyone felt the world spin around them. At the same time, they also felt a tightness in their chests as gravity accelerated downward, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Meanwhile, the scenery outside the window also became blurry and distorted under the layers of water waves.
Meanwhile, the 25 million viewers watching the livestream witnessed this spectacular scene with their own eyes!
A water column with a diameter of only three meters surged forward, carrying an unimaginable impact force as it propelled the space capsule into the air!
Moreover, during the ejection process, the water column continued to exert force, causing the space capsule to ascend faster and faster.
Looking from the bottom to the top and from afar, the boiling water column looked like a road to the heavens, extending infinitely to the end of the world...
[Crap!]
[This is too amazing...]
[This is just the foreplay. When we fly to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, in order to further propel the space capsule, the spray will be even more intense.]
[I suddenly have a bold idea!]
[Is there really no cost to going to space?
As long as you insert it into the seabed, you can spray as much as you want.]
[I finally know why it's called the Gift of Mother Ocean.]
[I'm not exaggerating, but the Pacific Ocean is too lousy. The Arctic Ocean is better …]
[F * ck!
Every one of them counted!
Take them away!]
[A perpetual motion machine cannot exist. When the sodium chloride in the ocean is diluted to a certain extent, this kind of fountain method will be useless.]
[Petroleum won't last for ten thousand years. Before it runs out, humans will find a new substitute.]
Just as some people in the bullet screen had expected, as the water column shot higher and higher, in order to ensure the space capsule's acceleration, the power from the "muzzle" became fiercer and fiercer!
The two helicopters at the scene had no choice but to quickly retreat to avoid being damaged by the terrifying sonic boom!
As for the seal Chen Yu used to block the chlorine gas near the platform, it gradually shattered into thousands of small pieces and dissipated under the shockwaves and waves.
Fortunately, they had already passed the initial decomposition stage, and the toxic chlorine gas was no longer produced.
"The acceleration has stabilized. Everyone can relax now."
Releasing the armrest, Chen Yu scanned the crowd and said, "It seems everyone is fine. Sit down, then. At the current acceleration, it will still take some time to reach low-Earth orbit."
Following Chen Yu's instructions, the participants sat on the ground and curiously leaned against the window to look at the scenery outside.
Unfortunately, the outer layer of the space capsule was wrapped in turbulence, so they couldn't see anything.
"This is amazing..."
Musk reached out and touched the glass window. When he felt the vibration from the outside to the inside, he couldn't help but imagine the practicality of this product.
On a large scale, Earth lacked a lot of resources.
Only the ocean was rich in resources!
With this "Earth Spray" launcher, the cost of space operations could be reduced to zero!
In that case, so long as they lifted the materials into the air piece by piece, it wouldn't be difficult to build a super-large space station that integrated scientific research, observation, residence, tourism, and commerce.
Moreover, with this space station as a base, it would be natural for them to station the moon, colonize Mars, and land on outer planets.
Although Transdimensional's UP could also accomplish all of this with the Interstellar Portal...
However, "that person" was like an "ancestor." The massive amount of work required to be done had left the various governments around the world speechless.
However, now that Chen Yu had this launch pad, he could slowly implement all of his plans.
The reason why space development was so slow was because of its high cost and uncertain benefits.
Aside from the promotion of national forces, it was very difficult for the space industry to progress.
Meanwhile, from now on, the problems of space equipment, materials, satellites, and energy waste would no longer exist. The aerospace industry's explosive period was right before their eyes!
It could be predicted that, with the zero cost of space flight and the 5G trend, it wouldn't be long before the entire human society underwent an earth-shaking transformation!
This did not even include the Transdimensional Academy's possible scientific and technological achievements.
"Everything has changed..." Turning around, Musk quietly stared at Chen Yu's back. "It's all because of this mysterious UP."
"He..."
"Just what kind of excellent and great man is he?"
...
"Friends in front of the screen, I dare say that the scene outside must be very shocking!
According to the information displayed on the helmet, we are currently at an altitude of over 15,000 meters.
That's a fountain that's over 10,000 meters long!
It's unimaginable. "
After saying so, Chen Yu removed his glove and looked at the image displayed on his watch's screen. "Sure enough... this water is sprayed.
Tsk, tsk.
Do you guys want to take a look as well? "
Chen Yu then showed his watch to everyone inside the capsule.
"Look!"
"Thank you so much!"
"Amazing..."
The dozen or so people gathered around Chen Yu and stared at the screen intently. From time to time, they would compare the scene outside the window.
"Alright."
Five minutes later, Chen Yu retracted his hand and said, "That's it for now.
Once we reach an altitude of around 100,000 meters, the water will decrease. At that time, you guys can lean against the window and watch.
"Friends in front of the screen, according to the product manual, when the energy consumption of the water column becomes too wasteful, the space capsule will experience reduced resistance and gravity, and it will automatically enter the second stage of liftoff.
"A certain amount of metallic sodium will be sprayed to combine with water to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen will then react with the oxygen inside the bubbles at high speed, high temperature, and high pressure, resulting in a series of small explosions. This will further propel the capsule into the air.
"After completing this stage, the capsule will reach an altitude of at least 100 to 200 kilometers."
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu put on his glove again. He then faced the camera and waved his hand, saying, "This will take a long time. Everyone can continue watching the scenery at high altitude. You can also go pee and compare the difference between the two water columns.
I have something to do for now, so I'll turn off the audio for now.
"Talk to you later."
After saying so, Chen Yu turned off the audio.
Afterward, Chen Yu turned toward Musk, who stood beside him. After pondering for a moment, he went straight to the point and asked, "Friend, I've told you before. Are you interested in cooperating?"
"W-What kind of cooperation?"
"Mars Colonization!"
