Chapter 48: Sun Project, the Beginning of the Sea of ​​Stars

Yanhuang calendar, 245 years.

Ye Chen, who was handling government affairs in the palace, suddenly heard Yuan Lan's report.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Imperial Academy of Sciences that the Sun Project is about to be completed and will be able to be tested next month."

Hearing this, Ye Chen put down what he was holding and a smile appeared on his face.

The completion of the Yuri Project marked the official entry of the Yanhuang Empire into the nuclear energy age, which is of extraordinary significance.

Although the Yanhuang Empire no longer has any enemies on the entire Yanhuang Star (Blue Star), the Sun Project must still continue.

After all, this weapon is the most powerful weapon in the civilization of the mother star. At least before the Yanhuang Empire steps into the starry sky, this weapon is absolutely indispensable to the Yanhuang Empire.

Because this is the most basic imperial guarantee.

January passed quickly.

The largest desert area in the empire, where yellow sand fills the sky, has a huge scientific research base.

Ye Chen's figure fell from the sky. At this time, someone was already waiting here.

"Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor."

"Everyone is safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After arriving here, Ye Chen followed everyone to the base. After the others changed into protective clothing, they came to the test explosion area.

As for Ye Chen, he doesn't need that thing.

After arriving at the test explosion area, Ye Chen stood in the air and looked at the big guy below. He could clearly sense the terrifying energy and threat contained in this thing.

But they were just threats, because with his current strength, as long as he was not standing at the center of the explosion, the peripheral shock waves and radiation would not kill him at all.

"let's start."

Ye Chen immediately said to the communicator on his body.

After hearing Ye Chen's order, the person in charge of the control center below pressed it without hesitation.

As for Ye Chen's safety outside, he didn't worry at all, because in his heart Ye Chen was an omnipotent god.

As he pressed the controller, Ye Chen in the air saw a sun appear. The dazzling light made him feel a stinging pain in his eyes.

Fortunately, the tingling sensation was just a little uncomfortable for him.

Then he saw the ground shaking and layers of visible energy shock waves spreading wildly.

Wherever it passed, everything was destroyed and turned into nothing. The originally calm desert was instantly swept by a sandstorm.

After just a few seconds, Ye Chen felt a strong heat wave coming. Even though he was standing thousands of meters in the air, he could still feel the heat.

Waving his hand to block the heat wave, Ye Chen calmly looked at the big mushroom rising in the distance.

……

The next day, the Empire Daily reported on this incident crazily.

For this reason, countless people in major cities of the empire were discussing it.

Two different factions gradually emerged among the people. One faction believed that there was no need to manufacture such a horrific weapon.

Because in their view, the world is now unified, the people are living in peace, and the entire Yanhuang Star has only one country, the Yanhuang Empire, so there will be no more wars in the future.

Therefore, it is totally unnecessary to spend so much resources to manufacture and research such a horrific weapon.

Another faction holds an opposing view because they believe that although the empire has unified Yanhuang Star, the empire will sooner or later march into the starry sky, and no one knows whether there are any dangers in the starry sky.

Therefore, this kind of terrifying weapon not only needs to be manufactured, but more resources must also be invested to find ways to research more powerful weapons.

Only in this way can the empire be founded. Only in this way, even if it encounters civilizations in the starry sky in the future, the empire will not be without the ability to fight.

The core value of this militant faction is that "peace is only within the range of cannons."

In summary, they are a group of people who suffer from the fear of insufficient firepower and enthusiasts who like to explore alien civilizations.

They love the starry sky and are eager to prove that there are other civilizations in the starry sky, but at the same time they have an inexplicable fear of the beautiful starry sky.

With the development of the times, especially to the stage of the Yanhuang Empire, wars disappeared, everyone's life became better, and in their spare time people would let their minds wander and explore the starry sky.

This situation can be said to be an inevitable trend for every civilization that develops to a certain level.

This matter was collected by the people below and submitted to Ye Chen. After looking at the content submitted, Ye Chen shook his head speechlessly, "Are these people so idle? Some people even quarreled over this matter, and some even fought over it.

It seems that we need to speed up the research on the Internet. After all, the Internet world is very large, and no matter how they quarrel, they can't fight over the network cable anyway."

Then Ye Chen thought about it and told Yuan Lan to let the propaganda department provide guidance on this matter.

……

With the completion of the Sun Project, Ye Chen turned his attention to the empire's aerospace technology sector.

As for aerospace technology, the Ministry of Aerospace did conduct some research before the war began, but due to the subsequent war preparations, the development was somewhat slow.

Now, after the war, with a large amount of resources gathered, the speed of development is very fast.

In just a few years, many satellites have been launched, but there has not been a single manned space flight.

Yanhuang calendar, 250 years.

On this day, the Empire's first manned space flight was tested.

On this day, many people gathered at the Yanchen Space Base, and reporters from all continents came.

After all, this was the Empire's first manned space flight.

It is a moment that will go down in history.

Yanchen Space Launch Center.

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Xin, the host of Tianxuan TV, and I am now standing at the Yanchen Space Launch Site.

From where I am, you can see the Tenglong-1 manned rocket in the distance. We will soon see the Tenglong-1 making a dragon roar, carrying our space hero Zhao Yunlei to the beautiful, deep starry sky..."

"Listen everyone, the launch countdown has begun at the Yanchen Space Center. Let us count down together and witness this moment in history."

"10, 9, 8...3, 2, 1!!"

"ignition!!"

"Boom!"

“At this point I could already feel the ground shaking violently.

Look, everyone, the Tenglong-1 manned rocket, under the huge thrust of the booster, slowly rushed into space, rushing towards the first step of the Yanhuang Empire towards the sea of ​​stars..."

Xu Xin looked at the manned rocket slowly rising in the distance, tears in her eyes, and spoke loudly and passionately to the countless viewers in front of the TV.

now.

The giant dragon soared into the sky, and its roar shook the whole area.

The first manned space flight in the history of the Yanhuang Empire was like a huge white dragon, breaking through the thick atmosphere and rushing towards the dark space amidst bursts of dragon roars.

The interior of the Tenglong-1 manned spacecraft.

Zhao Yunlei listened quietly to the countdown coming from the headset. As the countdown passed second by second, he couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm himself down.

He used all his strength to tense his muscles, and his whole body was like a piece of iron compressed to the extreme.

This was the Empire's first manned space flight, and also its most dangerous.

Even though he had been mentally prepared to sacrifice himself, he still felt a little nervous at this moment.

As the countdown ended, at exactly nine o'clock in the morning, the rocket ignited, and suddenly a huge roar came from the tail of the rocket.

In an instant, hundreds of tons of high-energy fuel inside the rocket began to burn.

Immediately afterwards, eight rocket engines began to spew out hot flames.

At the same time, the flames erupting from the rocket evaporated thousands of tons of water under the launch pad into water vapor in just an instant.

At this moment, the manned rocket took off.

The manned rocket rose slowly, so that Zhao Yunlei, who was sitting in the cockpit, did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort.

At this moment, he actually felt that it was more "stable" than taking an elevator.

Zhao Yunlei didn't expect that the pressure inside the rocket was much smaller than he had imagined during normal training. This made him feel much more relaxed, and his tense muscles slowly relaxed.

"Escape tower separation..."

"Booster separation..."
