Chapter 562 The Intentions Of The Richest Man
Chapter 562 The Intentions Of The Richest Man
?
Wu Mo was at the command center and was responsible for announcing the launch time.
"Three... two... one!"
The countdown ended, and the engine was ignited!
Rumble...
The huge transmitter platform suddenly spewed out a layer of white flames. The flames gradually turned yellow and scattered in all directions.
Immediately after, a terrifying mushroom cloud soared into the sky as if a god had descended and returned to his heavenly domain.
Following the loud rumble, the small spaceship rose into the air decisively. It left the launch pad and rushed into the sky.
Everyone could not help but look up. Under the dazzling sunlight, the small spaceship gradually rose into the sky and finally turned into a small speck.
"Wow, it's too fast! Looks like it's faster than all the previous artificial satellites!" Someone could not help but sigh.
"Yeah, I heard that there are four astronauts on this spaceship. Can such a small vessel really accommodate them?"
"Hehe, you guys definitely don't know this, but this spaceship is a masterpiece created by Chief Engineer Wu. Many of its wonders haven't been unveiled to the outside world!" someone explained proudly.
Meanwhile, Wu Mo quickly turned to the screen to check the data.
Real-time monitoring showed that the spaceship's lift speed, orbit trajectory, and docking port were all normal.
It was estimated that the small spaceship would arrive at the rendezvous point in about one hour, fifty minutes and forty-eight seconds.
When the time came, the space station would monitor the spaceship as it obtained a second propulsion force and broke through the second cosmic velocity.
After that, the energy supply source would be converted via controllable nuclear fusion. This would allow the spaceship to move in a fixed direction until it passed through the barriers of the galaxy.
"Chief Engineer Wu! We did it, we did it!"
After more than two hours of anxious waiting, all the team members on the base were finally overwhelmed with excitement.
This was because the data showed that the small spaceship had arrived at the rendezvous point as scheduled and successfully surpassed the second cosmic velocity.
At this moment, the energy conversion was also completed. The controllable nuclear fusion reactor was in effect, which provided a steady stream of power to push the spaceship out of the galaxy!
The four astronauts in the spaceship could not suppress their excitement either!
It was the first time humans had crossed the Taal Nebula and explored the unknown world beyond the galaxy. This glorious moment was undoubtedly exciting!
The names of these four astronauts would go down in history.
Of course, Wu Mo's name had been recorded in history because the whole thing was his achievement.
However, Wu Mo knew that behind this seemingly glorious milestone was a huge crisis.
If they encountered advanced civilized planets such as Carlot or Mixi during their exploration, how should they deal with them?
Although Tafaro was slightly closer—only five hundred and fifty light-years away—crossing interstellar distances was still fraught with risks.
However, Wu Mo understood that his worries were unnecessary. This small spaceship had already flown out of the Taal Nebula, and they had pretty much reached their goal.
Traveling hundreds or even thousands of light-years was simply too far!
Even though the controllable nuclear fusion propulsion had increased the spaceship's endurance, it was not an incredibly significant improvement.
In other words, controllable nuclear energy could theoretically allow a small spaceship to fly continuously until it crossed light-years.
However, this process was so long that humans might not live long enough to see the day!
"There are two ways to make the speed of a spaceship infinitely close to or even surpass the speed of light. One, it can use a wormhole to make a winding jump, and two, it can use antimatter to create the greatest explosion!"
Wu Mo was currently browsing through the information in the system's store, and he gradually determined the direction of his future development.
After controllable nuclear fusion, the next important step was to study antimatter!
Once he mastered antimatter, the planet would achieve a second surge in combat power with the continuous source of energy and reach a new peak.
With antimatter technology, Wu Mo predicted that the entire planet would enter the early stages of a medium-sized civilization.
Even if they faced the invasion of an advanced civilization from a different planet, they would not be powerless!
Most importantly, antimatter technology would allow a spaceship to achieve superluminal speed in an instant and reach distant interstellar shores.
At that time, interstellar travel would no longer be an unreachable dream but a reality.
This small spaceship would pass through the Taal Nebula's barrier and return from beyond the galaxy with the nuclear reactor's reverse propulsion.
This was the most basic guarantee for the astronauts' safety.
Prior to the launch, Wu Mo and his team had gone through many simulations before they finally confirmed their plan.
Life was more important than achievements, especially in the aerospace field.
If the astronauts did not return, this invention would lose its meaning, and he might as well abandon it.
According to Wu Mo's prediction, a small spaceship would take a year or more to pass through the Taal Nebula and return successfully.
The spaceship contained enough nutrient-rich fluids and food to support their journey.
The four astronauts had to endure a long period of loneliness before they could return to mankind's embrace in the vast universe.
To an ordinary person, this was nothing short of torture!
Fortunately, the four astronauts had received professional training from a young age. Although they would inevitably feel lonely, they could endure it better than a regular person.
At this moment, the phone rang!
The caller was just a regular individual, but the man she represented was no ordinary person.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Castor is incredibly interested in your Biological Regeneration Agent. He would like to buy two hundred bottles in one go. His purpose is to cure those with physical disabilities in his manor. I hope you understand!"
Then, the secretary on the other end of the line fell silent.
The intention she conveyed was very simple—the former richest man in the world, Mr. Castor, wanted to purchase two hundred bottles of Biological Regeneration Agent at once.
Mr. Castor was rich. Although he was surpassed by the richest man in the world, he was only a little bit behind.
He had hired many of the world's top purchasing experts to keep an eye on the link to China's official website.
However, professional purchasing agents were flourishing all over the world, and Mr. Castor's influence was not all-powerful.
Although he had already purchased the Biological Regeneration Agent, he had obtained an extremely limited quantity. He only possessed a few bottles!
What he desired was a whole two hundred bottles, but the official website only sold a hundred to two hundred bottles per batch, and they had to be distributed around the world.
Even if Mr. Castor was powerful, how could he snatch all the potions for himself?
Therefore, he found Wu Mo's personal contact information through his connections in China and asked his secretary to convey his intention.
"Wow, Castor is really generous! The Biological Regeneration Agent costs about fifteen million. If buys two hundred bottles at once, he'll have to spend about five billion yuan!" Wu Mo sighed inwardly.
However, he remembered that someone had spent tens of billions to buy the potion before. In comparison, Castor was making a profit.
Wu Mo never expected the person who had spent tens of billions to become the focus of ridicule around the world, especially in wealthy circles. He had become synonymous with waste.
